RATIONAL AERIAL DERBY l
 FROM COAST TO COAST
To Demonstrate Progress Made fn
 Aviation Within a Few Years.

New York, June 7.-The proposed National Aerial Derby in which number of American aviators are to fly from coast to coast. starting from this city on Saturday, September g should demonstrate the progress made in aviation within the past few years. No air race of this length has ever been attempted in this country and few, if any abroad The total amile- age to be covered will vary from $500 to 4,500 miles, according to the route finally selected and u1ere is a possi- oility that new worlds records may bes made during the struggle for first honors. Et
 But two such flights has been made since the day Wilbur Wright showed the possibilities of the aeroplane by flying s62 feet on December IT. 1903 in 59 seconds. These were the trans continental trips of Gafbraitl1 F. Rod gers and Robert s. Fowler Rodgers flew from New York to Los Angeles between Sept. IT and Dec.f10 1911 He made the trip in forty mine days but his actual flying time ins the air was but three days ten hours four seconds for the 4029 miles. He lost twenty eieIit days as the result of serious in juries received in a fall at Compton, Cal. His longest flight in one day was 231 miles and hfs average speed fifteen
 
 Los Angeles, Cal, on Oct. 19, 1911 and flying over the southern route arrived at Pablo Beach, Fla, on Febs 20,x1e12, taking little over 120 days to make the air voyage.
 The same year saw the height of the cross-country race craze in Europe and some remarkable records were made in these aerial contests The Circuit of Europe race, at a distance of 1.073 miles, was won by Conneau in fifty eight hours, thirty eight Tnin- utess Vedwines won the Paris to- Madrid race of S42 nliles in 37h 96n, 12 S.; DHespeI eaptured first place in itse Circuit -of-B gfum event covering the 360 miles in s2h S3m. z15s There were many other aerial contests of similar importance in which excellent time was made SHit few compare with the records made over measured cir cults or in aerodfomes.
 The continuous duration record, held by Landmann, is ,21n. 48m. 45s. the distanca record is 634. 1S miles and the straight line flight 486.s7 miles It can be seen therefore that the contest ants in the National AeraaI Derby have plenty of marks to aim at in ad- ditfon to tlie winning of the race. -ii

The New York Sun published
portion of the Indictment against
DR.. Waite, for killing Mr.. and Mrs
Peck. The object in 50 doing was
caustic criticism of such legal pa
pers. 1t wants terse accuracy and
simplicity, instead of confusion and
Pathology. 1t clearly proved the
useless method as relic of barba-
rlsm. England has done away with
1t, and SO ought America, for ex-
act simplicity is the power and
beauty Of our language. If the
laws of God az mans guide
are contained in one book, why
couldn't the laws of man to
man be in lone book? Precisely
a. mans theology has almost shelly
ed the bible, 80 has a multiplicity Of
old and recent law books made sim
pie law harmful tumble. No diff
erence what may be the case, the
remedy is therein found. Why not
repeal all the old worthless laws and
codify the best, and as age and wis
dom find something better continue
to repeal aud codiry, and be gov
erned by the best, as we are by us
ing electricity instead of the old
method of lighting?
There can hardly be case of any
kind brought i'll court but what
if lawyers diligently search the old
books, a multiplicity of law never
repealed can be found to prolong,
confuse and often defeat the ends
of advanced thought on justice.

We contended from the outset
that both Germany and Japan had

now it is plainly seen. And now

RAILROAD Earnings.

n BsPITE the great prosperity" Of which the admin
- istration boasts loudly and which has been
brought about by the European war, the railroads of
the country unable to show aboundng satisfaction
with their earnings for the year 1915. They did. in
deed have better business than they had in 1914
but their earnings amounted to only 800 per
cent which less thar those OF 192-the last year
in which the railroads Lad anything like normal busi
ness. That year it will be remarked, was the last
year Of Republican administration.
To show the difference between railroad earnings
under Dmocratic times and under Republican times
there some interesting comparisons to be drawn
from the figures in which the above result for 1915
derived In 1915 the net operating income Of Ameri-
railroads increased almost 3S per cent as COM
pared with 1914, but only little over nine per cent
compared with the last Republican year It further
appears that the railroads prohting most by this in
crease-such as it is-were those which traverse ter
ritory wherein "war babies most abundant and
most nsistent for transportation. Under the former
regime when Republican policies we're in force. rail-
road earnings we're not only more generously made
but more generally distributed.
