The Process. Goe. On.

The war can easily leave the Unlted
states with a most gigantic expert
ment in state socialism on its hands,"
says the New York World. speaking
of the unprecedented price fixing pro-
gram upon which the government
has embarked.
The experiment Is one which has its
dangers as well as its promise, and
its danger is that the nation may
hail the new war measure of the
government as a panacea for all its
economic ills. 1t may insist upon the
continuance Of the experiment in
peace times. Or is it strictly true to
call 1t an experiment? Is it not rather
an inevitable part of the movement
toward social and world organization.
which the war has imposed on the
nation? Today individualism and prop
erty rights are everywhere on the de-
cline. The rights OF the state and of
the people are paramount and
sacred. The American government did
not hesitate long before following the
example Of Britain and France in
hurdling all the old barriers which
not so many months ago were con-
sidered Gibraltar-like citadels for the
protection Of property against the en-
croachment OF socialism.
The war reduces all our little eco
nomic formulas, all our maze Of legal
precedents and Pigments, to nothing
ness. They vanish before that doctrine
OF stern necessity" which the Ger
mans brought out into the world In
those fatefu! August days Of 1914. and
which. though used by the Huns to
excuse a heinous crime, is now en-
ployed by the nations to protect them
selves from the commercial parasites
within their own borders-parasites
who up to the present have regarded
themselves as securely buttressed by
the law in their exactions.
Wednesday it was bituminous coal
that came within the governmental
scope of price-fixing; yesterday it was
anthracite. What do the coal bar
ons think? 1t is said they are dazed
and speechless; that they cannot be-
leve the unbelievable has come to
pass. Where are their old sacred
rights of extortion, of charging all
the traffic will bear" now? Will the
people ever stand for the good old
palnny days" again?
For the benefit of the coal men we
submit the following paragraph from
the New York Evening Sun:
IF the mine owners and operators
and the distributing agents accept the
Presidents figures without a fight
they will put the history of the coal
industry in recent years in a queer
light. 1t will become hard to grow
angry over the most heated rhetoric
that has been used regarding their
exactions from the public. 1t will be
conceded that a business which can
stand a A per cent price-cut and still
go on has been overcharging, to use
the mildest term"

Hydroaeroplanes.

The idea of the hydroaeroplane was
suggested in patent specifications by
Hugo Matullath of New York in 1899,
but it had its practical origin in Glenn
Curtiss, who added floats to the aero
plane with which he was experiment
ing over Lake Keuka in 1908. These
were placed under each wing, so that
In case Of accident the machine would
not sink. Langley and others had
made their experimental flights over
bodies of water for like reasons"
Probably the first to make the floats
an integral part Of his machine was
Fabre, who on March %, 1910, made
the first flight with a practical hydro
aeroplane at Martignes on the Seine.
Curtiss soon abandoned floats and built
boat bodies, and for this accomplish
ment he received the Aero Club Of
America trophy in 1911.

mad whenever he sees some writer US
ing the old southern phrase 1.-The spit

edge of what it means. Medicus says
that he has even seen it spelled thus:
''The spittin' image" So we have seen
in the works of an English novelist:
Hes the spit and image Of his ia
ther, as they say in America"
And an American short story writer
makes a negro character say:
"Yassuh. He's de spittin' image Of
his ma"
The phrase was originally the spirit
and image" explains Medicus. OF
course that means that one person is
