TEN HOURS FROM CALIFORNIA

Major Schroeder, Of Dayton, Ohio, who holds
the aviation record for height, having reached
an airy peak of thirty-six thousand and twenty
feet few weeks ago. now proposes for himself
the almost incredible task of flying from San
Francisco to New York in ten hours.
AS Major Schroeder is an expert, with spe-
clal knowledge Of conditions in the upper air,
his opinion must be taken seriously. He in
tends to maintain himself on this marvellous trip
at height of thirty thousand feet from the
earth, where, he believes, he will encounter
west-toeast currents that will enable him to
rush along at the rate of three hundred and
flfty or four hundred miles an hour. His plan
IS to make the attempt late next summer and

A FREE FOR ALL RACE.

A FREE FOR ALL RACE.
| The tendency of those mentioned for the
presidential nomination at the republican con-
ventione is to go hunting foe delegates 1t is
an usual and proper pursuit. Public interest is
heightened in it at this time because of the cir
cumstance that the recently introduced pri-
mary system makes the game more open one
than it used to be-though there remains
ample opportunity for the old fashioned meth
DDS of the still hunt
Supporters of one of the republican candi-
oates have enlisted the services Of a delegate
catcher of admittedly pre-enlinent talents. He
will go after the delegates, no doubt, both in
and out of the primaries, employing his own
tested methods. But at Chicago such shock
lis to be anticipated as has been experienced in
in the past, of discovering at the
last moment an unassailablee concentration of
voting power quietly rounded up for one
candidate months in advance.
Most of those democrats who have the presi-
dental bee buzzing in their bonnets are show
1T is striking phenomenon. Former Speaker
Clark is the latest to join the retcent ones who
crave to be forgotten by the party voters in
their primaries They profess to desire con-
vention made up wholly of uninstructed dele
gates
Mr.. Clark explains this curious, apparently
unprecedented diffidence in way that may
safely be commanded to the politically guile
less. In his solemnly expressed Judgment the
convention should assemble with two broad,
not to say altruistic purposes In mind-'to
adopt thoroughly democratic platform made
of time-tried and fundamental democratic prin-
clples, and likewise progressive and up to
date;" and on such platform ito nominate
the ablest and most thoroughgoing democrat
that can be found He assures all whom it may
concern that man who gets the nomination
under these supernatural conditions will de-
cline it. But what an extraordinary situation
1t is when there is such a general unwilingness
tc enter the race before the delegates come to-
query as to the reason.
Since the convention system was established,
was there ever a convention that assembled for
the transaction of its business with no candi-
date In sight? There has been one occasion, of
course, that had that aspect-until the quietly !
rounded up delegates came into the open. The
first dark horse in democratic annals was James
*. Polk, the nominee in 1874. He was not
thought of until the failure on seven ballots to
choose under the two-thirds rule showed that
none of the aspirants who had been mentioned
could win Since then there have been dark
horses, both republican and democratic But a
such as Mr.. Clark entertaningly !
describes and warmly approves is--well, can
there be any such thing?

The meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States to be held in Atlantic City,
April y to %, is to be known as an increased
production convention Regarding increased
production as means of restoring normal bust
ness and price conditions, those in charge have
arranged that all topics presented shall be dis
cussed from that viewpoint. The relation of
government to production, cooperation of the
forming, industrial, and business interests and
the attitudes Of the government, labor en-
ployers and the public are all to be subjects of
special addresses and group meetings. It is be-
ieved that the meeting will be of equal or great

America is asserting itself again. For time
it looked as though we were determined to end
the rights of free speech free press and free as
scmbly simply because some men took advant-
age of these rights. The situation recalls a
somewhat similar condition following the as
sasslnation of President Mckinley when it was
also argued that we give up free speech and
constitutional liberty in order to prevent re-
currence of such crimes. The late Senator Hoar
spoke at that time remarkably sane words Of
faith in America when he said before the re-
publican state convention in Massachusetts,:
