JUST TWELVE YEARS OLD !.
BUT HAS CHANGED WAR

Just little more than twelve
years ago, in December, 1908, Or
vile Wright made the first success
full flight in an aeroplane driven by
mechanical power He remained in
the air on that occasion but thirty
six seconds. Yet his machine rose
from the ground under the impulse
of the power and travelled short
distance, carrying a passenger, over
the sand dunes at Kitty Hawk, N. C.
The problem of mechanical fight
was then and there solved.
1t took nearly 100 years to devel-
OPP the automobile from the first
steam coaches, which were prac-
tically legislated out of existence.
The modern auto came into existence
with the perfection of the gas en-
CINE, but at that its development
was slower than that of the heavier
than-air flying machine, although its
use is still infinitely greater.
1t is doubtful whether the auto
mobile, wonderful as has been its
growth and enormous as is the use
now made of it, has had anything
like the influence on the history of
the world that stands to the credit
of the Wright invention. The war
now going on in Europe would have
been on radically different plan;
indeed. before this time it might
possibly have been ended had it not
been for the aeroplane, which has
rendered most of the strategy of the
past obsolete.
The scouts of the air are among
the most important arms of the pres
ent war. On their work depends the
work of the armies. Surprises and
sudden shifts of troops unknown to
the enemy, which were the resources
of the great generals of the past,
are no longer possible. The face of
war has changed and the history of
the world been affected by an inven-
ton which is but twelve years old

HEARST DECLARES
FOR PROHIBITION

Atlanta, Jan. li-Mr. William
Randolph Hearst, in declaring him
self and his papers for prohibition,
in his open letter to the Georgian
and American, has gone a vital step
further than any Georgia phohibi-
zionist, or any national prohibition
ist for that matter either, has ever
dared to go before.
He propcfes in plain words TO
make it a crime to take a drink.
Anti-Saloon Leagues and prohibit
tion leaders have demanded that the
selling of liquor be made a crime,
and Sc ii has in many states, and
some have gone so far as to make
the purchasing of whiskey under
certain conditions a crime, but Mr..
Hearst is in favor of a sumptuary
law on the subject. which shall pro-
vide among other things, in his own
words:
ITO make the taking of alcohol a
criminal offense"
The whole paragraph on the sub
ject reads as follows:
To make the taking or admins
tering OF prescribing of alcohol or
opiates in habit forming quantities
a criminal offense. from the penal
les of which regular physicians

his unreasonable conceit and Him
liable ignorance of the subject he
would be amusing if he were not q
presumptuous, gadfiy nuisance, and
like the gadfiy, he seems to be an
affiiction sent upon us without
rhyme or reason, for some disciplin-
airy motive hidden in the inscrutible
purposes of the Lord.
We can't cure him, consequently
We must endure him, but there is a
certain pleasure in taking an occa-
slonal shot at him, even though his
hide be SO thick that the missile will
never penetrate. Hence we repro
duce the following sent to the Or
lando Reporter-Star Office by a read
er. which is very conservative
statement of the case:
1T not infrequently happens that
man with an ak to grind, finds
fault with the newspaper editor or
publisher because he refuses to turn
the erindstone for him. 1t is then
that we hear him speak out in fiery
words of condemnation against the
Weakened, wobbly, spineless,
Gravity, clammy, fiabby, brainless
publications that haven't the cour-
age to say their soul is their own
and that they are owned, body,
boots and breeches, by patrons of
the advertising columns.
Invariably this wise gentleman
expresses the opinion that what the
town needs is a wide-awake, indie
pendent newspaper. One that is
fearless and beyond the control OF
anybody and he is just as sure as he
can be that, if somebody would start
such a newspaper in the town, it
would be a bowling success from the
first day of publication
"He is selfish, of course, but he
believes what he says is true, be-
cause he knows nothing about the
business of PUBLISHING newspapers
and has no idea of what it costs to
produce a daily, up-to-date in all of
its departments and so edited as to
appeal to the favor of the people.
The business of newspaper pub
fishing is precarious one and there
Is probably no other venture that re-
quires so much constant and care
full attention to details, so keen
foresight, and so extensive an out
lay of mental energy. as the making
of a successful daily"

One of the constant thorns in the
side of the newspaper man, doing his
level best, after years of arduous
training, to measure up to his re-
sponsibilities and publish the right

constantly finding fault with that
paper for some alleged error of omis-

it a rule never to be satisfied with it
nor to read any issue of it without
some disparaging comment about it.

Judge F. A. Whitney, of this, the
Tenth judicial circuit, has an
nounced through the Arcadia News
that he will not be a candidate for
Reelection to the Office he now
holds. This announcement marks
the early retirement from the bench
OF Florida of an able and upright
judge whose whole career has been
marked by conscientious fidelity to
duty and who has kept inviolate the
great traditions of a capable and in
corruptible judiciary, He goes back
to private life with the well-earned
respect and confidence of his fellow
citizens, and the Telegram expresses
its own and their best wishes for his
future. The retirement Of Judge
Whitney leaves only one candidate
for the succession that we have
heard of-Judge Eppes Tucker of
this city, and knowing him as we do,
we cannot endorse him too strongly
for the position, He ought to De
elected, and we believe he will, for
the administration of our laws
through the courts of this district
could not be in better hands.

Bi-Lingual Men Needed.

The need of hi-lingual men in the service of
the United States has never been more glaringly
apparent than just now.
Positions are awaiting persons who can speak
German, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian.
Commercial attaches located in foreign coun-
tries need clerks who are able to speak and write
the vernacular of the country in which they are
stationed. The government needs clerks quail
fed in foreign languages for service in the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce, department of
commerce, Washington. On May II, the Civil
Service Commission will hold an examination to
obtain eligibles for these positions
A bulletin says:
Those who pass this test successfully will
be placed the eligible list for both positions.
Clerks to commercial attaches are paid 81 500 a
year, with expenses for travel and subsistence
from Washington to the foreign post and return.
Clerks qualified in foreign languages are paid
somewhat less, but are in an advantageous posi-
ton to qualify themselves for vacancies which
may arise in the clerkto-attache positions, for

Very little attention is paid by the average
American to the acquisition of a foreign Ian
guage. In Europe, thousands are able to use
English passably fair, and many have acquired
working knowledge of two or three European
languages. The advantage of studying foreign
languages has been advertised extensively by the
government and by educational institutions, but
students balk at the work entailed in mastering
an alien tongue. A bi-lingual man possesses
qualifications which put him in a class of his own
and often assure his appointment to lucrative
post.
The salaries paid by the government are not
high, but they will enable young man to live in
foreign country while he is making business
connections that may lead to better salary.
