It took all his strength to hold the
ship as steady as the air would let
him. Once we dropped bodily fifty
feet and stopped with a tremendous
bump that shook us from head to
foot. It was for all the world as
though we had fallen from a height
and struck water with tremendous
impact.

land there and wait for better wealth
er. At this moment, however, the
rain stopped and the sky cleared.
Changing his plan, Farmer opened
the throttle again and we set of for
Albany. We had not been going
more than ten minutes, however,
when we ran into worse weather.
Ride Upon the Back Of serrated
Cloud
1t was here that experienced the
most peculiar sensation have ever
known. Suddenly there appeared be-
fore us a long, thin line of black
cloud stretching as far as the eye
could reach and rising from the
ground to an altitude of 1000 feet. It
was not more than twenty feet wide
and it's top YVES serrated like the tail
Of a giant dinosaur. For forty miles
we rode upon the back Of this re-
markable cloud, the most sensational
ride any man could wish.
Across the stoaming furrow that
was the Hudson river, the gloomy
heights of the Catskills rose black in
the skies. Every now and then a
white, steaming cloud would pass one
of the peaks, giving it the appearance
of volcano in action. Two hours
after our start the buildings of AL
bany came in sight,, through the cur
tain of mist and rain. They were a
most welcome sight.
Farmer circled round the field and
came down to a perfect landing.
There we saw the driving rain had
done to our propeller. There is no
question but that our lives were at
the mercy Of an engine that had been
very balky at the start.
Torrent Follows Us-Death Race Is
Won
Scarcely had we landed when a
tropical rain of torrential quantity
poured out of the skies. At this mo-
ment big De Haviland bi-plane cir
cled over the field, but thought bet
ter of the task of landing and dis
appeared.
It is but short time ago when the
anxious airmen used to stand for
moments at time with a moist fin
ger pointed to the skies to detect the
slightest breeze before attempting a
fight. Our flight today against the
worst possible weather conditions is
a true measure Of mans progress is
the conquest of the air.

APPRECIATES ENGLAND.

A story is related in the h0ndon
Spectator of an American officer who
wearied, while sojourning in Eng
land, Of witnessing the habit on ey-
cry hand OF fault-finding and criti-
cism of everything unlike England"
This officer thought to play even. He
says he began Immediately to make
"all possible comparisons which were
derogatory to England and oompli-
mentary to America, which in mat
tiers of public service and business
methods it was SOMEONE'S easy to
do" He expected that this course
would at once precipitate him into ar
guments, but found to-, his surprise
that his auditors were much more de.
lighted than distressed by his dispar-
aging observations.
This officer learned that his British
cousins were not playing fasorites.
They regared criticism as one of their
hereditary rights and never hesitated
ito exercise it, and just as readily
against their own home institutions
as against those OF other countries
and peoples. He found that the aver.
age Englishman is the greatest indi-
vidualist in the world, and the fairest
in the consideration of the rights of
others. The Englishman is an ideal.

found that in England had had

knew it," he observes. And again:

bridge and watch the mists gradual
ly cover the houses of parliament un-
til they were only an outline of the
world and yet not part OF it, and
think what parliament had meant to
the liberties OF the world and how in
a measure we could never thank it for
what 1t had contributed to the institu-
tons and the common laws of my be-
loved homeland" His experience was
further described as follows: "We
have felt the heart beats of the mo.
Their of our race and are proud to be
her children and to have paid slightly,
very slightly, our debt to her in the
hour of need."-Chattanooga News.

NEW CONSTITUTION.

Practically all the members of the
county court of Davidson county have
endorsed the movement for calling a
constitutional convention. In past
contests when the calling of consti-
tutional convention in Tennessee has
been defeated the justices of the peace
throughout the state have largely been
held responsible for the result. In
Maury county, however, three years
ago majority of the members of the
court voted for a new constitution. 1t
is significant that the justices IN the
capital county are lining up for the
movement.
In past election the Office holders
generally have been against conven-
ton but the indications this time are
that as many of them will be favorable
to changes in the organic law as there
will be on ihe other side. If this
should prove to be true the convention
is. going to receive a measure of sup
port that will be telling. Men who
hold the Offices are powerful factors
in local elections else they would not
have gotten Office.
There is no doubt of the need for
constitutional revision In this state.

they could not try him or pass judg-

called civilized nation upon the

Of labor, make up the juries, they
elect the judges and make the laws.
There is no danger of injustice being
done any class unless we have gov.
eminent of class, the most tyranieal
and unjust form of government
known. No man should be elected to
Office or placed upon jury because
he is a member of any class. Loyalty
to the country and devotion to its in
stitutions should be the real test.
A vast majority of the members of
labor unions are law abiding and pa
triotic citizens. They are devoted to
the institutions of their country.
Sometimes they are mislead by pro-
fessional agitators, but the great
heart of Americas labor, whether
union or non.union, and there ought
to be no discrimination for or against
either element, is true to the princi-
pies upon which our nation is founded.

general sentiment of the great major
ity was expressed in this manner:
IF we can see year from now
some substantial improvement in our
roads, some evidence that the funds
collected have been intelligently en-
pended, this law will be one of the
most popular ever placed on the stat

ditions as they exist now. Our gov
eminent is too unwieldly and too cum
bersome, The whole machinery OF
state and local administration should
he simplified. There should be larg,

This cannot be secured except through
a mass of hastily written and lily con-

not be disturbing issue in the con-
