NEED UNDERSTANDING It is written: "Many shall run to ami fro, and knowledge shall he increase), " aiul if there ever was a time when knowledge was u necessary adjunct to the ordi nary man's make-up that time is surely here. Ii is "Lo, here!" and "Lo, there!" from one source or an other until the average man's brain is muddled with the many conflicting statements which are sent out from the various sources for the edification, or the- con fusion of the public, there being no doubt but that much pur ported information is sent out to confuse so that certain ends may be gained. Just at present confusionists are working over time and it will be no ordinary task to steer clear of their en tanglements. There are questions that should admit of but cue stand and that the right one, yet per sons will align themselves on either side because of self inter est or selfish purposes, and try to convince themselves and oth ers that the stand takeu is right, although they have no founda tion to stand upon. Then there is the political man, with his partisan proclivities, who is al ways trying to boost for his party, whether in season or out of it. This type is seemingly short minded or else thinks that other people are as "any move made by the opposition party is designated "for political effect" although his own party may have inaugurated the move ment. Then we have the man whose head is so filled with law making wheels that the wheels are out of gear and running wild and the coming election will show ample evidence of weird desires. So, taken altogether, understand ing is very necessary to the man that wishes to do the things that make for right and for prosperity, for these two conditions must go together in order that prosperity may be permanent. Any con dition of human affairs that is built upon any other foundation than that of equity must in the end bring its storm of unrest and strife, accompanied with the losses attendant upon such conditions. A New Political Party According to Elbert Hubbard a new political party is going to arise from out of the needs of the time "a party that will con serve the good in organization, encourage enterprise, stand by both employee and employer, and free business from the polit ical barnacle and the legal hold up. - Railroad-raiding and business-rending by legal experi ments and political gentlemen adventurers have got to stop, or our whole civilization will bo in the ditch, and the day will bo hastened when Maeaulay's na tive New Zealauder will sit on a broken arch of Hrooklyn Hridge and contemplate a civilization dead and returned to dust." i-l cross The Ocean Ihj Air A few years ago people would tap their heads signilicantly at the passing by of any one wild enough to dream of crossing over the Atlantic ocean in the air. Hut time flies, and so does man, and truns-Atlantie aviation as a subject of serious discussion no longer evokes ridicule. To the contrary, it is now regarded by most aviators and the en lightened public as a logical de velopment of the wonderful progress already made in mans's conquest of the air. Very short ly the first actual attempt to fly across the Atlantic will be made in a heavier than air machine. The attempt will be made by an Englishman, in an American built machine, backed by an American. If successful, the daring of John Cyril Porte, of the Hritish navy, the generosity of Rodman Wuuumakcr and the practical skill of Glenn II. Curtiss will be loudly acclaimed. They will be no less deserving of credit if the effort unfortunate ly fails of accomplishment, nor will an initial failure dampen the faith of the "bird men" in an eventual triumph. Little more than 20 years have passed since Wilbur Wright, first of mortal man to actually Hy in heavier-than-air machine, demonstrated the possibility, of mechanical flight. Thedisantce was 852 feet, and it was more than 10 years thereafter that a -machine was perfected that would sustain a flight of three miles. Since then, however, development has been rapid. DeMollinais has gone from Paris to Warsaw, more than 1,3000 miles, in less than 21 hours. Aviation has ceased to be looked upon as a mere dangerous fad, as 3.000 licensed aviators, mili tary and passenger aeroplanes in every land, and $100,000,000 of investment in air transit show. The trans-Atlantic flight, if accomplished at all, will be made within a time limit of 72 hours. Speed is safety in the air, and 140 miles an hour is no unusual spurt for machines of the latest models. The world will wish gallant Lieutenant Porte god speed as he starts upon his hazardous challenge of the storm and the sea, and will anxiously await ti. lings of victory. Albany Semi-weekly Democrat.
