FLYERS ENCOUNTER NEW DANGERS The old woman who navigated the air on 'a broomstick to sweep the cobwibs from the sky was a privileged character. She sailed when she liked and where she liked, she just skimmed the house-tops, and, if fancy dictated, she nudged the eaves.
there WAS nothing to prvent her making the hop-off from the house of Old Dog Trey. In the time when she flourished, now admittedly hazy, flying ordinances were as near enactment as the invention of moving pictures. Two aviators flitting around Davenport, were unpleasin antly reminded that that town has a set of ordinances governing atmosphere and which the public expects pilots to know all The pair navigated the air of the business zone and were arrested on the charge that they had come within 2,000 feet of the restricted area. The mayor lectured them harshly and refused to believe they might have been further away than 2,000 The city officials were not ready with linear evidence of the violation, but they did not need it, for the mayor was satisfied that they had scraped the paint off the limiting line, and was only constrained to release them because it was their first offense. City ordinances embrace stray cows, pariah dogs.
cats of low degree, and a thousand other things. The drama at Davenport shows that protection had had been demanded from That adventurous flyers and an ordinance been promptly enacted. American who was noted for carrying a laugh in his eye could not possibly have dreamed that some day such an atempt as he credited to Darius Green would be so succesful that the public would feel the need of protection from those ambitious to fly. MISUSE OF GARDEN HOSE Every three or four years a judge in a minor court lays down rules for parental spanking. Some parents take the judge seriously and some do not.
The spankees of juvenile America are solid for accepting the rules with due solemnity. A Chicago judge called down an irate father for laying on his offspring with a garden hose. The sire charged petty thievery and declared his belief that anything less than a garden hose soundly laid on would fail to fit the crime. The court decreed that the flat of the hand or the back of a hair brush would be the scope of implements hereafter. He wanted no rubber hose used, he wanted no canings such as the bigeyed, partially bald, Creakle administered to the boys at Salem House, no such ferocious treatment for which Squeers was infamous at Dothboys Hall, and of course the court's wishes will be respected.
If a few hot-headed sires were haled to court charged with asgault there would be a strict reversion to the hand or a willing adherence to the hair brush. Garden hose is not manufactured to tan boys. Used for penalization, it savors too much of that implement with which one S. Legree was too free. THE KU-KLUX KLAN The thoughtful public will sympathize with the attitude of Governor McCray in his disapproval of the name "Ku-Klux for the new organization that is said to.be spreading at the of 5,000 a day.
The use of that name implies a sympathy for the practices of the old organization, and there is no warrant for such a lapse into savagery. There is still law and law-enforcement in our country. Let us not revert to barbarism, under the pretense that justice can be secured in no other way. Presumably as the result of his recent indictment for misappropriation of funds during his incumbency as treasurer of Illinois, Lieutenant Governor Sterling has corrected a little overtight whereby he neglected to turn over to his successor the paltry rum of $996,121. It is sincerely hoped that the American warship carrying U.
s. marines to the scene of trouble between Panama and Costa Rica will not run afoul of the Panama navy, which, at last reports, consisted of a motor boat armed with a wicked machine gun. Now that an American has perfected a system whereby warships may fire automatically controlled torpedoes in a curved course the batting averages of attacked vessels may be expected te show a decided slump. The Chicago railroad engineer who has retired with a record of having driven his engines to an aggregate mileage of 2,700,000 without an accident probably shudders at. the thought of having to devote the evening of his life to dodging flivvers.
The Chicago banker who says that high powered automobiles for the laboring class are a thing of the past would probably object to getting along with fewer than his present fleet of road worchers. The significance of an opinion dependa. largely upon the vignificance of the man who expresses it. The art of cussing will never decline while there are pedestrans and banana peels. The federal department of justice is after the "coffin trust," which, it is alleged, is making the cost- of dying almost prohib4 Itive.
