Hems Gathered In From Far and Near ' Money and Muck. t From Columbus Ohio Stute Journal. In speaking of the teachers' pensions law in New York, the Springfield (Mass.) Republican remarks: . "It is much better to have the state , provide these pensions than to have them come from a multi-millionaire's private pension agency." 1 We incline to that view, but it is probable most people don't. There is a disposition to give to money a virj toe essentially its own. and to hold that its source is in nowise related to Its mission. Isn't it good if it pays for a good? is the short cut argument. There is not much use to argue the question. The man who holds to the transcendental view will make no impression on the materialist or vice versa. Still we may all agree to Ba- , con's idea, that money is like muck, of no value unless it is spread.

Poor Man's" Auto. From the Dayton News. . According to an article now going the rounds, we are soon to see a "poor man's" automobile. That is to say, the price and upkeep of automobiles is going to be so greatly reduced that even the poor men can afford one of the machines. It will not do to take too much stock In such reports, of course, for there are very few luxuries that get within the reach of the poor man In this old world, to we

T. R., Taft and the Insurgents A railroad bill. Two states admitted to the Union. Postal savings banks. A conservation measure. Investigation of cost of living (embryonic tariff commission). Those five measures were hurried through on the eve of Roosevelt's return. Some people give him the credit for the acceleration. Others will be inclined to say that Taft did it. This has not been a do nothing congress. It is our opinion that neither Mr. Roosevelt nor Mr. Taft accomplished these thing3. It may be that we are mistaken, but it is our idea that the people have become pretty well stirred up over the congressional situation and that no congressman dared go home without something to show for himself. Aldrlcb and the Rhcde Island school of politics knew that the game was up. Whence comes this situation? Evidently someone has been doing something to make the most inactive organization in America do something in behalf of the people. Why is it that the reactionaries passed all these things? The. most obvious reason is because the Insurgents have given the people a look in. Some people say it is Roosevelt others Taft. For our part we have an idea that Insurgents have stirred up so much trouble in the D. C. that something had to be done to placate the Rest Of Us.

We'd Like to Know

' We should like very much to know what the people in this town think of holding the Chautauqua in the Glen. We should like to know what they think about putting a pavillion in the Glen. The plain everyday average man who pays the freight and has the felicitous pleasure of looking on is the man we are talking to. We wish that any man who has decided views on either side of thi3 question would send us his opinion with his name signed to it (which will not be used if so desired). Send it along if you are interested we are.

The Debtor

"But it is peculiarly my duty; for any man who has ever been honored by being made President of the United States is thereby forever after the debtor of the American people and is bound throughout his life to remember this as his prime obligation, and in private life, as much as in public life, so to carry himself that the American people may never have cause to feel regret that once they placed him at their head." Theodore Roosevelt.

give these particulars of the report without admitting that there is a great deal in them. The Great Silence. From the Pittsburg Dispatch. But even after he gets back the guessing contest will continue until he breaks his silence on the great question. The assumption that he will make an immediate declaration as soon as his foot touches the Battery wall is without foundation and in fact is contrary to all advance notices. Feline Food. From the Cleveland Leader. We imported 375,000 canaries last year, which may account for the increased avoirdupois of the domestic cat.' ,-..... practical Air Work. From the Washington Star. Little by little the airplane is proving its practical qualities. The other day Hamilton, becoming temporarily disabled in the course of his return flight from Philadelphia to New York, safely brought his machine to the ground and after making the neecssary repairs proceeded to his goal, thus demonstrating an ability to resume an interrupted flight from any point. The latest proof comes from France, where Bleriot, who has already done much to prove the efficacy of the airplane as a means of practical transportation, is now serving his term of military service. His colonel suddenly ordered him to carry dispatches by air route from Chalons, where he is cuartered, to Paris over a given route. The straight flight from the camp at Chalons to Paris is about 100 miles, and thus Bleriot's flight was important in itself regardless of the fact that he accomplished it without warning. No report of the atmospheric conditions or the time consumed has been received. It is possible that the French government will not be free with information regarding these military flights. The German government, it is to be noted, is allowing practically nothing to be printed as to the work of the aviators in that country. As far as the news dispatches are concerned the Germans appear to be legging behind in heav-ier-than-air aviation. Yet it may be confidently assumed that the German army is today busily engaged in airplane work of a high order of skill, and it is possible that the ideal ms chine has been there perfected and is held as a military agency. Dead Stars. The dead stars probably outnumber the living stars by many. It may be millions to one. Rheumatism Vanishes Leo. H. Fine Has Secured the Agency for Rheuma and Guarantees it. The hundreds of people in Richmond. Ind., who have suffered the terrible agony of Rheumatism will be delighted to learn that Leo H. Fine has finally secured the agency for Rheuma, already the most famous prescription for the uuick cure of Rheumatism the world has ever known. To promptly introduce the remedy to the sufferers of Richmond, Ind., Leo H. Fine has decided to return the purchase price if Rheuma does not produce satisfactory results. The price of Rheuma Is only 50o a bottle, and we are sure that hundreds will give it a trial after reading Leo H. Fihe's generous offer. Rheuma cures Rheumatism by acting directly on the kidneys. It dissolves the uric acid, drives the poison from the system, builds up and puts activity Into the tissues of the kidneys and makes them strong enough to afterward cast off all impurities without aid.

Rival A viation

Which New York, Juno 20. At a joint con vention of the American Aeronautical association and the Aeronautic Federation of America to be held In this city for several days beginning Wed nesday, June 22, the first gun in a bitter war which will decide the con trol of future aviation meets in Amer ica, will be fired. Aligned on one side are the two above mentioned organizations, off springs of the Aero club of America and founded by insurgent members of that body who were dissatisfied with the conditions, existing in the parent organization. On the other side is the Aero club of America, the oldest organization of its kind in the country, and which. It is claimed, is controlled absolutely by the financiers who own the Wright company. The recent remarkable achievements of Glenn Curtiss and other well known aviators, . and the enormous amount of prize money that is at pres ent being offered by prominent news papers for Intercity flights, have all combined to emphasize the import ance of the coming convention. According to the leaders on both sides, these flights can be sanctioned by whatever organization is selected by the papers, but officials of the Aero club of America, claim that no records would be recognized, unless the flight is sanctioned by that body. The main purpose of the convention Is the amalgamation of all the aero clubs in the country into one organ ization the name to be selected for the purpose of promoting the science of aeronautics. All clubs in the Unit ed States have received invitations to join, including the Aero Club of America, but every organization will be given an equal representation. This would eliminate the Aero Club of America as the controlling factor in aeronautics in this country. Accord ing to present indications however, the Aero club will make no application to join the new organization. As the representative of the International Aeronautic Federation, it has absolute control of all international aviation meets, and the leaders feel confident that this will prove a most effective weapon when the question of home control arises. The leaders of the opposing organ izatious, on the other hand, claim that the new body will have a larger national representation than the Aero Club of America, for this reason will control all the aviation meets held in this country. Their status will soon be recognized by the International Aeron.autic Federation, and in this way they hope to replace the Aero club as the representative of the Unit ed States. They state, however, that they will not attempt to interfere with the international aviation meet which is to be held in this country next October, when the contest will be held for the international cup, which was won by Glenn Curtiss at Rheims. The formation of the new organization Is the culmination of a bitter fight, that has been going on in the Aero Club of America for two years. A small group, headed by Thomas A. Hill, Wilbur R. Kimball. Charles Levee and Mr. G. L. M. Borglum, were dissatisfied with the administration, and at the election held last November they put their own ticket in the field in opposition to Mr. Cortlandt Field Bishop, the administration candidate. As most of the votes were cast by proxies, the insurgents applied to the courts for an injunction to prevent the use of proxies, but their application was denied. The regular ticket was elected by a good majority. The insurgents kept up the fight, however, and a month later brought suit seeking to invalidate the elections, which is still hanging fire. Later on they founded a new organization and called it the American Aeronautical association, which is one of the bodies that is to join with the Aeronautic Federation of America in forming the new society. In April of the present year, six prominent members of the club signed a letter requesting the resignation of Mr. Bishop from the office of president. Nothing came of it, however, and a few days later Mr. Bishop sailed for Europe to make arrangements for the international aviation meet to be held in this country next fall. Before sailing, he said that he had the assurance of the Wright company that they would not prosecute foreign aviators for alleged infringement upon their patents, should they decide to come over and compete. As a forerunner to the present movement, a letter was sent out early in May signed by Thomas A. Hill and a number of other important insurgents to all the aero clubs in the country asking the clubs not to attend the convention of the Aero club held on May 23. The letter stated that "the officials of the Aero Club of America, the Wright company anJ. other aerial show promoters have combined in an effort to exploit your club and your community mainly for the profit of a group of 'high financiers who were unpleasantly identified with the notorious traction trust in New York." In another paragraph the letter said: "You know that the notorious con tract between the Wright company and the Aero Club of America, as well as the exorbitant demands of the Wright Exhibition company, have created such a prejudice against this combination of institutions that scarcely any community in the country has consented to held a meet sanctioned by the Aero Club of America or has agreed to employ a Wright machine or by a Wright patent. Thomas A. Hill, one of the leading spirits In the Insurgent movement and secretary of the committee which has charge of the coming convention, in an Interview with a representative of the National News Association (or International News Service) gave a brief outline of the work contemplated by the new organization. -It will be the purpose of the new organisation," he said, "to place the

Principal men in the aviation war Thomas A. Hill, the head of the "insurgents," and Cortlandt Field Bishop, the president of the Aero club of America (on the left) are Bhown above. Below, beginning at the left are, Profesor Todd, of Amherst, a member of the committee, who will have charge of the convention which meets in New York on June 22; Alfred Wagstaff, Jr., who headed the "insurgent" ticket in the Aero club of America against Cortlandt Field Bishop, and Wilbur R. Kimball, an old member of the Aero club of America, who strongly favors the new organization. x '

science of aeronautics on a broad and liberal basis. Our fight in the Aero Club of America has been one for equal representation, and to every club in the new organization this will be granted. We intend to establish three sections to carry on the work of the organization. They will be the scientific, sporting and industrial. The scientific section will have its college) and academio committees; the form-j er to encourage the science of aeronautics In the various colleges and universities throughout the country, and the latter tp look after similar work in the high schools. "In the sporting section, there will be professional and amateur committees, which will have charge of all the meets. Although the vast majority of successful aviators of the present day are professionals, the sport will no doubt reach a stage of development, where there will be, amateur aviators just as there are amateur runners. "On the industrial section will be the manufacturers' and commercial committees. These committees will have charge of .all matters pertaining to legislation, inventions, patents, etc. "At the present time it is exceedingly difficult for a small aero club to get recognition when seeking redress for alleged wrongs. Should a club, however, be a member of the new body, it could present its complaint to the proper section and its Interests would immediately be looked after. "The new organization will not be a rival of the Aero Club of America in any sense of the word. We have extended an invitation to the Aero club to join the new organization and should they decide to accept, they will be given the same privileges as other members but no more. "Should the Aero club decline the offer the new club will undoubtedly be at a slight disadvantage for a time, owing to the fact that the Aero club is this country's representative in the International Aeronautic Federation and as such has the sole right to sanction international meets in this country. This handicap would undoubtedly be overcotoe in a short time, owing to our larger representation. "The question of meets, however, is entirely secondary. In fact the new organization will have absolutely nothing to do with any meets that are run for the purpose of making money. On the other hand it will not interfere with, any club who desires to run a meet for commercial reasons, even though this club be a member of the organization." "If the regulars" of the Aero Club of America view the new movement with alarm, they are keeping the fact to themselves. When Mr. Heitman, the secretary of the Aero club was asked for his opinion regarding the new organization, he said: "As far as this new body is concerned, they can have all the meets they desire, but any records made at these meets will not be recognized as the Aero Club of America is the only representative in this country of the International Aeronautic Federation, and. therefore, any record made at a meet not sanctioned by our organization, would not be recognised, even If a man were to go ten miles high in an aeroplane. "The. new organization will probably control most of the local meets, but unless we give our consent, they can have nothing to do with an international meet. Even should the new body demonstrate that they are the representative body of aeronautics to the International Federation, they would not be elected as the American

representative, owing to the fact that the Aero club of America is a charter member of the international organization. "But there is no possibility of the new organization becoming the representative body. For the sake of argument, take the membership of the two bodies. The leaders of the new movement, claim that the new organization will represent an amalgamation of eighty clubs. I can state with assurance that the membership of the combined eighty clubs does not eo.ua! the membership of the Aero club alone." Mr. Heitman was then asked if this revolt would in any way affect the international meet to be held in this country next fall. "Emphatically no," he answered. "When Glenn H. Curtiss won the international cup at Rheims, the Aero Club of America had sent him over to compete, paying all his expenses, and
