Undoubtedly the most Interesting
and Important topic of the day is the
conquest of the air. Nineteen nun
dred and eight, or for that matter
many decades before it, has produced
no more momentous development than
that which the efforts of a few per
sons Hi the perilous experiments In
aviation have brought face to face
with the civilized world. That we

MAJESTY OF THE LAW.
The messenger of death Is always
an unwelcome visitor, but when sent
at the behest of and through the In
strumentality of a braln-enfevercd
mob It Is a monster which the limited
meaning of mere words is unable ade
quately to describe and one that
makes all people whom evolution has
brought above the level of cannibal
ism shudder and turn away. There Is
of all the world are centered upon
the dally movements of three or four
men who are biasing the trail to an
undiscovered realm of opportunity.
Successfully solved, the problem of
navigation of the air as a practical
means of Intercommunication would
revoiatlonlne all existing financial,
commercial, racial and national con
ditions: and Its effect on social and
even ethical questions would be In
calculable. Therefore any progress
toward this end Is worthy of note.
The experiments of the past few
a lesson to be learned in the after
math of the race-rioting spectacle months In both private and public in
which Springfield, Illinois, recently vestlgstlons have proven beyond rea
furnished the nation. Human beings i sonable doubt that a machine heavier
both white and black, were killed and than air not only can be made to ac-
malraed In order that someone be vis
ited with vengeance. A bloodthirsty
mob In order to uphold Its conception
of the majesty of the law desecrates
the very law It dirt not want broken.
At no point In the construction or
working out of the philosophy of hu
man life baa It been demonstrated
where one wrong might be launched
at another wrong In the Interests of
right And now after the affair has
practically subsided it is discovered
that the mob got hold of the wrong
negro.
In addition to this some one has also
discovered that another someone, fore
seeing Just such a calamity as that
which found Its setting In Springfield,
had drafted and passed a law which
makes the State of Illinois pay $5000
to the heirs of each negro killed by
mob violence. This will give the peo
ple of that state something to think
about in their sober moments.
Following upon this carnival of
crime the announcement Is made of
the organization In Washington, Pitts
burg, Atlanta, New York and Chicago
of a national law and order league that
will Include negroes only In its mem
bership and will have for Its purpose
the ridding of all communities of
worthless and criminally Inclined
blacks. A convention has been pro
posed within the next six months so
that the movement may be spread to
Include the entire United Spites.
COTTON GROWERS COMBINE.
The cotton growers of the South
are making a determined effort to
free themselves from the oppression
that has attended the marketing of
their crops by a gigantic plan to sell
direct to the spinners and In such
quantities and such price as they
think the market warrants. The
National Farmers' Union Is the or
ganization back of this scheme, and
the National Cotton Committee Is the
agency through which It will be ac
complished. The farmers in their
warehouses have room to store some
2,000,000 bales of cotton, and the
Committee will have correspondents
throughout the world to keep close
watch of the market and Its need, re
porting to a man in charge at the
headquarters, which will probably be
at Fort Worth, Texas.
This man is really the main spring
of the scheme, for he will have ac
curate and absolute knowledge of the
markets and their requirements, and
under his direction will the sales be
made. It is planned to do away with
the middleman, and whrn the spin
ners are In need of cotton, the sales
will be made direct to them. The
man In charge at headquarters will I
first decide whether the price offered
Is satisfactory before he orders the
complish aerial navigation but Is the
only practical means to this end. Pur
ing the past thirty days both hemi
spheres have been ringing with the
performances wherein mechanical
flight for the first time In the world s
history has received high official rec
ognition. The governments of France
and the United States have both of
ficially recognized mechanical flight.
The average man who reads may
be aware that Inventors recently have
been busy experimenting with differ
ent kinds of aerial craft He hears
about airships, aeronauts and other
"aerial nonsense" and lets it go at
that To him It Is all a Joke, a fad
without any practical value. He does
not know, however, that Instead of
being a mere aspiration, mechanical
flight Is now a wonderfully serious
reality. He is not yet awake to the
appreciation of the fact that a new
realm has been opened up for human
activities and that a new field for
transportation has been discovered
equally as Important as the land and
the sea, and that aviators have within
the past few days demonstrated flights
which place the automobile In the
realm of "has-beens."
All air vehicles are divided Into two
classes, viz.: balloons, or "lighter
than air" machines, which derive their
buoyancy from gas of low specific
gravity, and "heavier than air"
machines, which depend upon dynamic
or mechanical functions for their op-j
eration. Of the latter there are three
general types, the aeroplane, the hel
icopter and the orthopter. The hell
copter differs from the aeroplane In
that It has horizontal propellers de
signed to give It a vertical lift The
orthopter is modeled after a bird hav
ing beating wings operated by a mo
tor. But of these the only one thus
far which has demonstrated Itself to
be practical is the aeroplane.
Described In a simple way the aero
plane Is a large box kite, or two hor
izontal planes, one above the other,
with other planes set fore and aft as
rudders to direct Its course and with
motor-driven propellors to give
velocity. Of the various types of the
aeroplane those evolved by the Wright
Brothers, of Dayton, Ohio., and Henry
Farman and Leon Delagrange,
France, are the best The Wright
Brothers have demonstrated the su
periority of their type and within the
past few days both In this country and
in France have publicly made flights
in which their machines were under
perfect control, making circles and
turns in all directions with ease and
maintaining an average speed of 36
miles an hour. The War Department
is now conducting tests of the Wright
model at Fort Meyer. Virginia, while
In France a new office has been cre
ated in a Minister of Aerial Com
Hunicatlon and the Wright model Is
state, would be pushed with all speed.

wanted a railroad Into this part of
their state. It contains riches un

A Checking Account
With a bank is a modern business convenience and
those who have never tried it have missed many
advantages. "We open checking accounts for firms
and individuals and supply them with check books
so that they can draw against their deposits in fav
or of other persons without coming to the bank.
They thus have all the convenience of having the
money at hand without the risk of robbery that
there would be if the money was kept in the house.
