MR.. KNOTT AND THE CONVICT
QUESTION.

Hon. w V Knott in his speech at NAL
1orv Court on Thursday night touched
briefly upon two matters, which, while they
have not been given special prominence IN
the campaign, are of importance. These
were the question of the use and DISPOSE
ton to be made of the convicts, and Mr..
Knott's attitude towards labor On both
of these questions Mr.. Knott has sound
and wholesome views.
It is almost certain that in the near
future, owing to the trend OF public sent1-
ment and the condition of the industries IN
which convict labor is now chiefly en-
ployed, that the entire care and employ
ment of the convicts will devolye upon the
state How best to employ them, how to
prevent them from becoming burden on
the taxpayers and yet keep them out OF
competition with the free and honest labor
of the state is question that must be
solved. Road building, where roads could
not be built were it necessary to do the
work entirely with free labor, offers one
field. A state prison farm, raising only
general crops, the amount produced being
so small compared with the total raised in
this country that the price would not be
affected and in consequence offering no
competition is another field.
Mr.. Knott suggested and endorsed these
avenues of employment for the convicts,
being unalterably opposed to convict labor
competing in any way with free labor, and
said he believed that in these employments
the convicts could be made self-sustaining
and bring no burden to the taxpayers of
the state.
In this, as in other things, Mr.. Knott
shows he has the interest of the people Of
Florida at heart, and that he has studied
the practical problems of state government
and is equipped to fulfill his ambition ito
make the best governor the state of Florida
has ever had"

BURGLAR REPORTED
At z RESIDENCES
HTLY MARAUDER WAS
FRIGHTENED AWAY FROM
TWO PLACES WHERE HE WAS
ATTEMPTING AN ENTRANCE.

Two residences were picked out by
burglar during Thursday night, but
in both cases he was frightened of
and made his escape.
Mrs. Mcclure, residing at the cor
ner of Thirteenth avenue and Ger
vantes street, made report at 9:22
o'clock that some one was trying to
force an entrance to her home, by
trying to get the window open.
Frightened from the first residence,
the thief next tried the home of Mrs.
Bombay, at the corner of Blount
street and Fourteenth avenue, at
1850 o'clock. He was frightened
away from here also.
1t is evident that the burglar is
working in the northeastern or New
City section of the city, but has yet
effected entrances to no place.

A ero Students
From Here to
Study Motors

The detachment of men from the
flying school who went to Detroit
several weeks ago to study motor
construction in one of the large auto
mobile manufacturing plants there,
will return to the station here on the
18th of June to be replaced by an
other squad.
That the class will be a permanent
arrangement was stated yesterday,
and as each detachment returns an
other viii be sent in its place.
The work is carrying out a general
plan of study in motor construction
for it has been pointed out that the
United States excels other nations in
the construction of aeroplane frames,
but is backward in motor construc-
ton.
The squad now in Detroit is under
the command of Lieutenants MofFett
and Yonge of the Flying Corps. The
detachment to succeed the present
one has not yet been announced.

THE AERoPLANE APPROPRIATION

All who have the welfare of the United
States at heart, the increase of the naval
aviation fund to three and half million
doIlars-nearly hundred per cent raise
is harbinger of victory-to-be; for while
the figure is insufficient for actual needs,
it shows that in congress Conversion OF
Constantine, so to speak, is being wrought
in national defense ideas.
The United States ranks about twenty
third in aeronautics Kitchener stated not
long ago that one aviator is worth an army
corps. Be that as it may, certainly the
European war has proved the aeroplane
to be the eyes of the fleet. 1t guards
against surprise, searches out mine telds,
reveals hidden movements, and protects
against submarines AS a range finder
it is an absolute necessity. It IS, moreover,
being developed into a most powerful
weapon Of offense.
Handicapped as the aviation station IN
Pensacola has been by lack of funds, it IS
astonishing what results have been accom-
plished But the work of Captain Mark
Bristol, Chief of the Division of Naval
Aeronautics. and Lieutenant Commander
H. C. Muslin, Commandant of the Naval
Aeronautic and Flying School at Pensa-
cola, has done more than this: it has re-
vealed what can be done.
The United States government has an
opportunity to build modern manufacture
ing plant school and experiment station at
Pensacola that will be world-model. This
will eventually be done, but history will
wonder at the delay. Not that everything
should be manufactured aere-but there
should be plant capable of producing
aeroplanes so located at as place where the
major portion Of the flying is done, super
vised by men who fly, who are seanen,
who know all the needs, not only of the
theoretical expert, but whip understand the
peculiar demands of WIND and wave.
Thousands of dollars 1hust be spent
nav, hundreds of thousands-before type
of motor can be evolved absolutely de-
pendable, foS the requirements of hydro
aeroplane abe quite differSpt from simple
acceptance Then there are other problems
to be met; how to devise frame that can
be stored en- shipboard easily; how to
launch plane at sea how to return to the
ship-and a hundred others which no pri-
waite manufacturer is in position to under
take, whence the government must operate
its own xperiment-constructio station.
Plans for the expediture of the new ap-
preparation have not yet been announced,
but we may confidently expect results dur
ing the next twelve months so encouraging
further, though it will take ten or fifteen
United States in the front rank of aero
nautic strength.

knowing that theology is the highest
intellectual science of them all.
The very idea of the Hague came
from the church. 1t was a French
Catholic Monk Emeric Cruce, who some
300 years ago wrote concrete plan
for a world court of arbitration. 1t was
from the book of this monk-The New
Cyneas-that Hugo Grotius, Gustavus
Adolphus, our own Charles Sumner and
many other leading advocates of inter
national arbitration are said to have re-
eeived their inspiration which after
wards materialized in the Hague.
In his plan, the holy monk gave
first place to the Roman pontiff, but
at the Hague, they would not have it
so. Shall we wonder then, that this
cold temple stands stark, warning the
world that Christ is the center of peace
and that rejection of His Vicar is a
| rejection of Christ Himself?

was for the young people of rural com
munities He said that practically
every town in Windham county, with
the exceptions of Brattleboro and
Rockin CHAM, had steadily decreased in
population since 1899. He pressed home
the point that the only way TO stop
this outflow is to keep the young peo-
pie on the farms by bringing each
community mp 10 the needs and de-
mands of the young people in furnish
ing educational and social opportunl-
ties right at home and in supplying
the normal and legitimate demands OF
youth in each home community. He
urged the need of faith IN the dignity
of farming Mrs. Whitney's talk was
along the line of the physical care OF
children, with suggestions as to bath
ing, diet, fresh air and clothing. She
had illustrated folders showing n day

of getting rid of that pest, also illus
