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
