left to the people in their selec

convention. This would be
against the spirit of that law.’*
The convention conceded that
the objection was well taken, and
tho resolution of support was
therefore dropped.

govern himself is entitled to gov

ways. Woodrow Wilaon measures
up to the requirements.
Giving the Aeroplane a
Try-Out in Actual Warfare.
One of the day’s favorite ques
tions for discussion and specula
tion is the part the aeroplane is
to play in the fighting of the fu
ture. The question is not con
fined to aeronautic and military
circles, but commands general
popular attention.
Sir Hiram Maxim, the famous
inventor of guns and explosives,
thinks that the aeroplane will
revolutionize warfare, canning a
shifting of the points both 6t at
tack and defense. Other experts
hardly lens famous contend that
the aeroplane’s usefulness in war
fare will be confined to scout and
spy duty, playing little part in
the work of> actual slaughter or
in the destruction of forts or
vessels.
The discussion waxed warm,
but exhibited no- evidence of
reaching a conclusion.
lint now, however, the aero
plane is to have a chance to
show what it can do in- a real
war. The following new* dis
patch from Vienna, Austria, tells
of its scope and extent
“Aeroplanes will lie used in
netusl warfare for the first time
by the Italians In Tripoli, it is
authoritatively announced by the
Italian naval attaches here. The
entire air corps of the Italian
army, consisting of ten aero
planes, will he sent across tho
Mediterranean. The aeroplanes
will lie shipped from Naples and
will be accompanied by the mili
tary aviators. It is expected!
that these will be of great use in !
guerrilla warfare against hostile 1
tribesmen in the interior, and will
serve for scouting parties to lo
cate detachments of the enemy
on the deserts south of the city
of Tripoli."
One hour of actual test isVorth
whole year of discussion. It is
for this reason that the war rec
ord of the aeroplane will lie
watched with intense interest.
What a Disaster Teaches.
tiovernor Toner of Pennsylva
nia, on the occasion of his visit
to the Hood-wrecked city of Aus
tin. was met everywhere with
this deuiatid. or rather this cry
of distress: “Punish the 'men
who were responsible for the de
struction of our town and the
death of our people—tlx tho re-
aponsihilitv and punish the guilty
to the limit,” ,
Unquestionably the cry of dis
tress should he heard and the de
mand heeded. The combination
of commercial greed and crimi
nal negligence that resulted in j
the destruction of Austin should

It seems a pity, therefore, that

This is a day of tremendous
industrial undertakings. No one
would wish to gee them stopped
or in any way hindered. Prog
ress is impossible without them.
Hut their very iimncngitv carries
with it the obligation of their
owuers to exercise the supram-
est degree of care in order that
the human lives touched thereby
shall not he imperiled.
The greater the industry, the
greater the care, is a role sanc
tioned by reason and justice, and
it is one that should be strictly
enforced by the law.
