A JUDICIAL ACHIEVEMEin:. Lorers of Lake county heave a sigh of relief whenever they think of the Lake 0UQ court of this jurisdiction. There were those who said the cold-blooded murderers have been punished in the court within less than two weeks, an especially creditable record. When one thinks of the old days when criminal es were strung OTer repeatedly from one term of court to anofaer until most of them were nolle Proseed, it Is to be grateful that Lake county has a court of thla jurisdiction. There were those whosaid the county had no need of a criminal court, but they don t to'k thai war now. Hew relieving it is to know that five murderers will soon be placed where the Iublic need fear them no longer. WOMEN IN AVIATION. The ascent of a French avlatrii to a height of 21.325 feet a greater latitude than any hitherto attained by a woman. Is new evidence that In courage and enterprise the gentle sex ia well able to hold its own with men Almoet from the beginning women have taken a prominent part iu aviation and have made invaluable contributions to its development. They have not only performed spectacular feats, but hava yorfced unostentatiously to determine the powers of heavler-than-alr machines for practical as well as exhibitioa purposes. They have made remarkable demonstrations not only of the airplane's ability to climb but also of Its possibilities for long-distance and non-stop flights. The women have given a pitifully large number of martyrs to the development of aviation. Harriet Quimby was killed eight years ago while trying or ft new altitude record over Boston harbor. She) vas the fourth of her sex to meet death in airplane accidents la the United States, and since then there have been additions to the number. .. It Is regrettable that women shontJ Consider it necessary to take the risks involved In. seeking to perform new feats and establish new records in aviation. It would be more pleasing to men if the path-finding in the art of flight should be lert to them. But this cannot minimize 'the importance of what 13 owe! fcy progress to the daring and ingenuity ol vomen. With women joining with men in promoting' not only" aviation but every other branch of science, art and Industry, the onward march of civilization .iiye made i ' i . i .

a TvrvrifP ATTf! "CT.TTSH FUND.

. AiHavwea While Cox talks about a mythical campaign, lund of millions which he charges the republicans are raising unfairly, the democratic organization has arranged for a corruption fund of a very real character. . It is a fund which it Is not lawful for the democrats now in charge-of the public moneys to draw on for partisan purposes, but which they draw on anyhow. The republican party"s campaign expenditures promise to be very modest Indeed, whereas they need to he of generous proportions If the republican candidates are to have the benefit of the same publicity as the democratic. How the public treasury will be made to bear the publicity expenses of Cox and Roosevelt, in large art. is explained by the Washington correspondent of the National Republican: "A flood of democratic campaign propaganda, compiled and printed at government expense, fooh will

be thrown onto an already overworked postal system to be sent broadcast throughout the country postage free. "An army of government clerks as well as higher salaried employes already Is busy on these documents, which are to be laid before the voters at, what administration political experts coneider a p6ychologival moment. "The democratic propaganda will masquerade as government reports printed on thousands of pounds of costly white paper, but a survey revealed that these reports will show a startling unanimity on points considered vital to democratic success. "They will recite the list of democratic "achievement" daring the last fiscal year, ended June 30, In an attempt to refute what has become a countrywide conviction that government affairs have been badly and loosely conduced." It is to be hoped the republican campaign fund will be of sufficient size to stem the tide of democratic propaganda from government offices, paid for out of the public funds.

IN WASHINGTON TO URGE RECOGNITION OF THE PRESENT MEXICAN GOVERNMENT

ANOMALIES IN FOREIGN COMMERCE. Figures on our foreign commerce continue to upset preconceived theories relating thereto. The official statement issued last week shows that the value of our exports in May Increased $55,006,000, as compared with the preceding month, while the value of Imports decreased $64,000,000. This reverses calculations made earlier in the year, when trade authorities expressed the opinion that our exports would continue to fall off, owing to the inability because of the necessity of foreign countries to redreas the balapce of trade against them. Up to this time, however, the trend of the interaational trad current has been lA thi dlreetloi fof cast by students of such movements. Thus in the 11 months of our fiscal year ended with May ths increase in exports of merchandise was only 18 per cent over the corresponding period last year, wheras the Increase In our Imports of foreign-made gods was no less than 67 per cent. The total value of these Imports for 11 months was $5,686,000,000, which surpasses all pre vlou3 records. Notwithstanding the balance of trade In favor of the United States for the 11 months amounted to $2,788,000,000. we imported only $124,000,000 gold during this period, while our exports of the yellow metal amounted to $461,000,000. The recnt economic troubles in Japan began with a sudden shifting In international trade against that country, arousing fear on the part Of Japanese bankers of a drain on the country's gold. Apparently there Is no ground for similar fear in the United Statel at the moment, but the large Increase in the percentage of imports of merchandise during the last 11 months Is at least interesting, and it will become more so when Germany is rehabilitated industrially and resumes her former importance In world trade.

WHAT TO TALX ABOUT. A wise old philosopher once gave this rule for conversation: "Talk about things, not people." It Is a good rule. If all of us followed it the world, and all who dwell in it, would be better. Often it is necessary, or apparenty inevitable, to talk about people. Dut such talk should be brief and guarded. The danger in talking about people lsXhat we become careless if not Ticious. Ths tendency Is to remark upon the faults of our friends and acquaintances. We dwell upon their shortcomings, rather than upon their good qualities. This is often done unconsciously, but it is a dangerous habit. , The danger is not only in harm to those we talk about but to ourselves. In criticising others we lce sight of our own faults and we invite criticism for ourselves. The habit cf continually talking about people indicates a poverty of intellect for which' there can be no excuse. Read books and newspapers; study nature, animals, astronomy, and one or all of a dozen things. In short, become Interested in things, rather than people, so that you will have things and no mere people to talk about.

COMMISSION

IN SESSION

CRT LEE ELLiM AKE R ) r$TFr COHHESfONDENT 1. N. SERVICE) WASHINGTON, July 30. .Mfmbfrs of th inteftAie commerce commission are !n daily conference perfecting the Increased freight and pssnger ra.&o orders to cover "adequate earnings," and Increased !a.bor charges of the rail rod, that schedule of traffic charges may b completed by Sept. 1. It ia expected the commission will atiounce Its rate decision or early next wceq to rive the roads at least one month to get their rate charge into the hands of the agents when the government divorces Itself from aJiy part In the operation of the roads on Sept. 1. Until the beginning- of September the roads are guaranteed the tame rental they received during: the frovernmetit control. On that date the nd must begin to "care for themselves," tinder the Ech-Cummins transportation act. The act provides, however, that the interstate commerce commission must a JJut rates that the reads may derive alx p rcent on their actual investment. To do this the roads claim they need increases to the amount of 33 per cent on freigrht and 20 per cent on passenger ratea. It 1 beliveed. however, that tha rommlMi'n will strike a 33 per cent average increase for freight and rot more, than hsSf cent per nr.le for paseneTer. In addition to the etraight increases there may be other incrtases in the form or sur-ohargea for the Pullman transportation and additional erees baggage tariffs, requested by the roads. According to estimates made by former Director-General Hines of the railroad administration. th freight rate increases fall back on the people five fold in the multiplication of -profits on

goods carried by the road. If this were so the eosn to tN; public would be more than $8,000,000,000 a year If the full amount requested by the roads is granted.
