A GOVERNMENT OP LAWS,
Hob. W. G, Brantley’s address at
Bostoa, Mine., reprinted li The Tel-
egrspb of Sunday, .last, belongs to
the eane, conservative, broad-mind
ed claae of political utterances
which there are too few la these
piping times of radical ’’rtformera'
and more than radical demands.
It should not be necessary to re
mind any Intelligent person that
oura la, was designed ee, and ougnt
to bo, ‘‘a government otj laws and
cot of men,’’ aa Justice ‘story long
ego exprocsed It, yet Mr. Brantley’s
forcible remarks on this subject are
moat timely. All this talk about put
ting the people ‘once more" In con
trol of their government Is scan to
be absurd by those who are aware
that tbe farmers of our Constitution
and the founders of our'representa
tive government knew better than
to create an unbridled democracy,
or an unstable government responsi
ble to popular demand at a moment’s
notice. There haa never been a time
when tbe rights of the Individual,
or tho minority, and of the majority,
have not been fixed and limited by
the fundamental law laid down In
'he Constitution, and there has nev-
cr bee n a time when public opinion
la mono potent than now.
With clear vision Representative
Brantley sees danger threatening
our Institutions from two directions.
"One end demand* ‘.a strike down
the law and substitute n man, or a
set of men whoae will shall he law
Sa to what rommeroe or business can
do Tbe other end de
mands to strike down tbe law and
a-ibstltute the will of the majority.
It fa a-serted the majority can do no
wrong.”
He might well have added that
some of our agitators of tho Roose
velt type are demanding both of
-these dangerous substitutes almost
In tho jams breath, apparently un
dearth or applicant# for the Jobs.
Tbe Wright* have paid their
flyer*,—and. Incidentally, no bettor
airmen have dver boon before, the
public than the man presented by the
Dayton company—Just $20 a week
and $80 additional for every day on
which they flew, regardless of the
number of flights made or how they
won la prises. At these figures tbe
Wrights have considerably more trou
ble In turning applicants away than
In flndlng men t& fly' their ma
chines. Refusal'to'allow their avis-
tore to fly on Bandars, travel, break
age, bad weather, ill' health, ate.,
have—on tbe authority of Frank
Cotlyn, tba ipaiaenger-earrylng ex
pert of th« Wright team—prevented
any of the Dayton flyers from aver
aging $200 g week.
All the Curtlsa aviators work on
percentage basis. This ranges
from thlrty-flve per cent to the
lesser lights to fifty per cent to Lin
coln Beachey, who, barring perhaps
Rene 8lmon and Roland Garros* of
Franco, la tba greatest exhibition
flyers In tba world. But ae practi
cally every Curtiss exhibition con
tract la baaed on a half-and.-half
division of th* gate receipts with

operator can at bast get twanty-flve
pet cent of the not gate receipts.

Of thoee who now claim that th*

well ISM:
"Little they-know they are strik
ing av (he one protection to life,
liberty,slid property that they
enjoy. But, for the courts we
mint have autocratic govern
ment or anarchy. But for tho
courts a government ot
law would be without

a given act violate# the law, or
when a given law violates tho

In an Independent Judiciary?
, , . Tho ono thing which'
has dlflerentlated our republie
from all other governments has
been our Judiciary. Th* malntan-
nance of our judicial system haa

THE EARNINGS OF AVIATORS.
Croesua-Uko have been th* report
ed earnings ot aviators In the past
three years. In 1909 four or fire
exceptionally skilled airmen did
take $60,000 apiece out of th* fly
ing game; three exceeded this sum
by, perhaps $25,600. But, In the
main, th« aviator woo cleared .110,-
