The genius of past ages sought TO

seeking to serve. Civilization has as

of the greatest age, and the greatest

are solving it. Their achievements
have astounded the whole world and
we challense every age and nation

General led the present Tensas
Levee Board to compromise the
fraud, and that but for the fact
that the Governor did not stay II
and forbid the compromise the
Attorney-General was prevented
from prosecuting to a probably
successful conclusion litigation
which would have restored to the
State a princely domain of some
400, 900 acres.
In the ease of the bond deal it
has shown that. in consequence of
the mismanagcment of the Ad-
ministration, Louisiana was put
at the mercy of the financiers in
the sale of her State bonds and
forced to dispose of them at an
aggregate loss to the taxpayers of
nearly 81, 100000.
1T was hardly worth $4,000 to
establish these facts. Indeed. it
was pure wastefulness to spend so
much of hte people S money when
the Governor is himself the au-
thority for the statement that. un-
der his administration. the fiscal
system of their government has
completely collapsed.
But the record is too clear for
the Governor to shed the RESPONSE

mission and forced the appropria-
ton of $4,000 to cover it's eX-
penses. States.

France and Russia and Serbia
must bear the burden of the peace
settlement. In the latter Austria
and Turkey are chosen for the
role.
October 1st is only seven weeks
away. Events will have to move
rapidly to bring peace to Europe
by that time. Yet the war started
in less time. Who, seven days
before the declaration Of war by
Austria against Russia, would
have predicted world war; The
war may end as suddenly as it be-
gan, even though all the nations
involved protest that it must con-
tinue until they have been COM
pbetely victorious. All are facing
ultimate bankruptcy and none
have any possibility of gaining as
much as they have already lost.
Germany is probably the most
anxious for peace because she has
the advantage now and cannot
reasonably hope to be in any bet
ter position in the future. With
Russian Poland in her possession,
with her hands free to join with
Austria in overwhelming Serbia,
with her grip fimiy established on
Belgium and almost one-fifth of
France and with her lines like
walls of steel she is in a position
to expect favorable terms. She
is the more likely to be reasonable,
too, because while Great Britain s
feet commands the seas she can
not possibly achieve complete
victory.-Leslie's Weekly.

Through the Press Service Of Agrt-
culture and Commerce, the master
minds of this nation will be invited
to the public forum and asked to de-
liver a message to civilization. Men
who achieve seldom talk. and men
who talk seldom achieve There Is
no such thing as a noisy tinker, and
brevity is always a close companion
to truth.
1t will be a great privilege to stand
by the side of men who can roll in
place the cornerstone of industry; to
associate with men who can look
at the world and see to the bottom
of it; to commune with men who can
hear the roar of civilization a few
centuries away.
Too often we listen to the rabble
element of our day that cries out
against every man who achieves,
Cruelty him" Mankind never has
and probably never will produce a
generation that appreciates the genius
of its day. There never will be a
crown without a cross, progress with
out sacrifice or an achievement with
out challenge.
This is an age of service. and that
man Is greatest who serves the larg-
est number. The present generation
has done more to improve the con-
dition of mankind than any civiliza-
tion since human motives began their
upward fight. The Greeks gave human
life inspiration. but while her orators
were speaking with the tongues OF
angels, her farmers were plowing
with forked sticks; while her phil
osophers were emancipating human
thought from bondage. her traffic

THE PROBE COMMISSION.

Whether the legislature and
the constitutional convention will
consider that the State got Its
moneys worth for the $4,000 ex-
pended by the Probe Commission
remains to be seen. A casual read
ing of the list of recommends
tions made would not seem to in
dicate that the investment was a
profitable one," says the Shreye-
port Journal, the Governor s
North Louisiana organ.
We incline to the view Of The
journal. We rather think that
about $19.5OO of this money was
utterly wasted, and we say this
with no intention to reflect on the
service which all the members
gave to their tasks. In our Judg-
ment the eight members OF the
committee honestly and zealously
performed their duties.
But if so much of the taxpay-
ers' money was squandered. the
record fixes the responsibility en-
tirelv upon the Governor. The
original purpose of the probe was
to inquire into the malodorous
Tensas land deal and the Cover
nor's disastrous State land deal +;
and if the inquiry had taken the
usual form during the legislative
session it could have been com
pleted in two or three weeks time
at a cost not to exceed $500.
But the Governor, obsessed with
the idea that somebody was try
ing to gain a political advantage
over him, evolved the idea of an
expensive rowing commission the
more surely to defeat any inquiry
into the subjects referred to; and
when one of the Houses cut the
cost from $4,000 to $4,000 in
the interest of the taxpayers he
promptly rallied his forces around
him and put the original figures
back.
If the probe bill had remained
in the form in which it emerged
from the Executive office and the
Governor had not been defeated
in his effort to load the commits
sion with his own friends, the re-
suits would have been no better
bu the Governor and his news
paper claquers would have 'been
fulsome in praise of the commits
sion instead Of doing everything
in their power to discredit it be-
fore the people.
Though many of them are sound
and helpful. we do not believe
that the recommendations of the
commission will have much weight
either with the Legislature Or the
convention.
But in spite Of all that NAV he
said to minimize the value of its
services. the Commission 1"e"rv 9
credit for having effectively
brought out and put into a per-
manent record the history of the
Tensas and bond transactions.
In the case of the land deal it
has shown that gross fraud was
perpetrated upon the people; that
inability to get advice from either
the Governor or the Attorney

SOVEREIGNTY OF THE AIR.

Every war of consequence that
has been fought since time began
has presented new problems, but
the present struggle in Europe
seems to have been more produc-
tive of problems than were any OF
it's predecessors. Speaking of one
of these problems, the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal remarks that
a mooted question now puzzling
the brains of our diplomats is
whether there can ever be any
sovereignty Of the air.
GA few weeks ago. adds the
Tennessee paper, ca feet of Eng
lish warships sailed over Switz-
erland to lombard the German
Zeppelin factory.
Switzerland. being a neutral
country, was justified in entering
d protest. England's reply was
automatically apologize, but
England maintained that Switzer-
land s claim to sovereignty of the
air could not be recognized.
"Here is a perplexing question.
Unless the neutral territory could
tbe crossed the English airmen
have been unable to effectively
carry on this particular lombard
ment.
"Nations have the right to
claim sovereignty of. the sea and
have authority to protect their
rights. The air is unprotected.
Not only are messages Of war car
ried through the air over neutral
countries, but carrier pigeons fly
with secret orders from one army
to another.
"The German air feet crosses
the English channel to drop an oc-
casional bomb on London and the
English coast towns, and air
fleets Of the allies retaliate as best
they can.
"Therefore, it is timely to ask
is there such a thing possible as
sovereignty Of the air and will
there ever beY
"There is a precedent concern
ing the private ownership Of the
air to be found in English legal
records A man erected signal
board that projected from the roof
of his premises few feet over the
field of neighbor. The owner
Of this field brought an action FOR
trespass. The result was the
courts ordered the sign removed.
Only few feet of air was used,
but the judgment of the court still
stands.
when a swing bridge was
erected by the citv council Of
Cleveland across the Cuyahoga
river. the bridge passed over a
few square feet of land owned by
private individual, who prompt
ly claimed "a good and indefeas-
ible title in fee simple to the air
above with the rioht TO sell or
lease the same The city council
had to paw him $4,000 for the
privilege Of swinging the bridge
through few feet Of air claimed
by him and sustained by the Ohio
courts.
with such cases. matters of
record. in view il may he vet held
that neutral nations have SOW
ere;ontv of the air alhnvn them
and have the rioht to nrohibit the
invasion of airships inst as thev
would troops on land. "IEnter.
