From the time Fulton invented the first steamboat until last week when Thomas A. Edi- son, the King of Inventors, perfected a search light to pierce through fog, the sons of America have paved the way toward the goal of improvement. When Secretary of the Navy;Dan- fels bemmm himself of the benefit to be derived- from, assembling * the' difficulty’ in ‘searching for rmaferiat| As a homely way of:illustrating it, “The woods were full of them.” But when Secretary Daniels thought he would have to go outside hig own de- partment for great American invent- _ors, he reckoned without making a .thorough inventory of inventors in Aa if to gently remind the Secremry of ‘the Navy . of his erring ways, now comes Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske with a series of patents from ' the ‘United States Patent Office proclaim- | ing him as the inventor of an aerial torpedo which can’ be launched from an aeroplane and shot at any target | within a radius of six miles. Great is the joy of the Navy at this an- nouncement. Rear Admiral Fiske has taken his place in the ranks of great is proud. over Admiral Fiske's a,ccompliuhment Ever since the late Secretary Lang- ley of the Smithsonian Institute for- mulated the idea for a heavier-than- | | air. craft, later developed by Wilbur and Orville Wright, there have been men at work trying to perfect firing apparatus for aeroplanes. It mained for a ynung army officer, re- bomb. dropping device for aeroplanes, and, for his trouble, he was awarded a prize of $10,000 by the French govern- ment. ‘Recent aerial raids on London by the German and Karlsruhe by the French and English show to what advantage bomb dropping is in time of war. It must be remembered, however, that the raids on England and Ger- many by aerial craft were perpe- trated, for the most part, by Zeppelin balloqns, these great cigar vehicles carrying crews of twenty or thirty men. The invention of Admiral Fiske will enable the heavier-than-air craft, the aeroplane, to accomplish in ‘the future what Zeppilins are not able to do now. In the first place, the Zeppelin or the aeroplane now must ucend to a point directly over the ob- ject of its attack and then drop its . death dealing bomb.

More Humane, But Unjust. (Norwich Bulletin). By its representations to the Brit- ish government this country shows that it is not disposed to tolerate the order in council passed by that caun- try so far as it works injury to Amer- ian shipping any more than it is the submarine policy of Germany. It 1s true that there is not involved any such danger to humanity in the Brit- ish action ‘that there is in the Ger- man failure to respect American lives, but in both instances there are rights which are being violated in a manner which is unjust, detrimental and con- trary to international law. As a neu- tral nation this country’s trade on the high seas is being treated in a man- ner which is unwarranted under the agreement of nations. It has been ed at the mercy of warring nations and td guard against such possibili- ties rules were adopted when condi- tions were norma] and all were able to. view the situation in a sane man- ner, which were supposed to give Proper protection.

The Aero Club of America offerea to furnish to the National Guard of Pennsylvania, at its recent encamp- ment, machines and men for the con- ducting of experiments in aviation ana to instruct the members of the mili- tia in the science of aviation. The Adjutant General declined the offer and is now being severely criticised therefor. So good a chance to begin operations in that line will not again offer soon, and it is generally felt that the decidedly important and patriotic offer of the club should have been ac- cepted. It will be needful to intro- duce something of that sort into the military training given to citizen sol- diers if the national guards of the various states are to be thoroughly prepared for war under modern con- ditions, ain are ignoring that fact and pro- ceeding to strike at their enemy in a manner which seriously affects the neutral.

The " tradi- WHAT OTHIRS 3AY Views on all sides of x:lmol, questinns as discussed in ex- changes that come. to Herald offico. The Persisting Dream of Perpetual (Waterbury Republican). The war leaflets and pamphlets that float on every mail into the newspa- per offices are without number and most of them also, without marked individuality, mere incoherent echoes of views which have been many times ,2bly expressed. There is great significance. in' the fact that the peace leaflefs are al- most as numerous. Bvery dagy or two some obscure writer, unknown to fame but a lover of his kind un- dertakes to set forth’ his plan for world-wide and perpetual peace and to circulate 'it to the press of the nation at his own risk or expense. They come also from neutral Euro- pean lands. Generally there is a deep religious note to these outpourings, sometimes they grapple with the sub- ject as a mere political problem, but always they show a simple faith that there is an easy way to constitute an international court of arbitration, that can forbid war, and will be backed by an international army and navy to.enforee its decrees. The fixed idea among them is that war is unneces- sary. Even in the midst of the greatest and perhaps the most unnecessary and barbarous war of all times, men dare to dream of universal peace. They have faith in their dreams. They believe in humanity, in its love of 'peace, industry and order; in its obedience to conscience, in its ability to learn from its owDg#ad! migtakes. Neither Poland, nor iu Mabr the Lusitania can conquer this asph‘aflon for the peace idcal. Its voice is dur- ing the very wreck of war though at present almost drowned out by the thunder of guns. Thereby, lies some hope for the future. I It is only a still, émall" voice, but it is heard from many directions, and it represents the silent millions who are thinking, thinking. Why Busy Men Are Called, (Philadelphia Record). The name of Thorthas A. Edison is a synonym for busy efficiency; a man so busy that he hardly has time to read his mail, much less to get the sleep a normal man requires. Yet he is ready to consecrate his time and talents to the service of his coun- try on the navy advisory board that our navy may be made ready and efficient. The same is true of other inven- tive geniuses who either have agreed or are understood to consider fayor- ably positions on the board. It was because he was always busy that Alexander Graham Bell contrib- uted so much to the progress of the world with the invention of the tele- phone; and that Orville Wright and his brother, the late Wilbur Wright, were able to give the world the first practical flying machine. They are | the type of men who are being en- and listed to improve our naval service To be sure they are busy. That is what makes them so invaluable to science. As the late Elbert Hubbard remarked, whenever the world wants something done it nsks a busy man to do it. The Fourth Congressional District. (New: Haven Journal-Courier.) Various impressions are being made | upon political observers by the :estl-l mony being taken in the hearing of Donovan versus Hill in the fourth congressional district of this state. Former Congressman Donovan is seeking :to keep Congressman Hill, Uncle Ebenezer, from his seat on the ground that money was used corrupt- ly in his behalf. The testimony is not 80 convincingly direct as it is sus- piciously evasive. One would judge | from it that Mr. Hili was a mere inci- dent of the campaign, When every- body took it for granted last fall that the election of Mr. Hill was one of the major issues of the campaign. It was common gossip at the time that a large fund was raised from among the manufacturing interests to secure that result. That Uncle Jere Dono- van took the gossip seriously is shown in the hearing now being held. We have no doubt the matter will be satis- factorily threshed out, but we are re- minded of the regret that we have al- ways. entertained that the provision of the corrupt practices law, which pro- vided for an election court with large discretionary power and ‘was pro- nounced unconstitutional, = was mnot carried to the supreme court. The corrupt forces of the state lost an alert enemy when that decision was rendered; honest people lost a pro- tector. ‘“This Is the Life. (Philadelphia Public Ledger.) With Europe pressing madly the business of slaughter and America pressing madly the business of making the implements of slaughter, such common sense is rare as that of John McLaren, who gave up a business in England, which is said to have paid him $50,000 a year, to cut stone in America for $2.50 a day, merely be- cause he found it more congenial. ‘“This is the life, the only satisfactory life,” says Mr. McLaren; “I am happy with my brothers of the humbler places.” Mr. McLaren has become a practical demonstrator of “the great Theorem of the Liveableness of Life.” He knows that if a person is not happy he may find happiness by moving to pastures new. He knows, moreover, that if a man cannot remain happy without leaving his job, he ought to leave the job, Why should a man spend his days and nights picking flaws in contracts or calling the turn of the stock market when he really wants to be milking cows or-fishing, or designing houses, or painting' pictures, or writing son pl&ntuum Why on and nerves There I- no mone virtue:in being a good corpora- tion president than in being a good | gardener.

The great mistake of | Horace Greeley’s life was made when he allowed himself to be persuaded to run for the presidency and there- by an honorable career was brought to a sad anti-climax. Instances might | be multiplied of officeholding editors whose influence has thereby been dis- | sipated. The editorial office calls for Jjudicial quality of the highest order, and no officeholder possesses taat. He cannot be a disinterested commenta- tor on men and things. It is neces- sary that the editor keep. himself free from entangling alliances of ali! kinds. The newspaper men of the | United States are slowly coming to this larger view of an enyironngent which is quite as necessary to them as to our judges. It was the good fortune of the late Dr. St. Clair McKelway, long editor of the Brookiyn Eagle, to be savea from a mistake that would have kept Mim from the large career that was his. After Mr. McKelway had made a place for himself in newspaper work he thought he saw an opening for a thriftier livelihood in public office and applied for the post otl deputy collector. of internal revevue. His application wag indorsed by Hore ace Greeley, Hengy J. Raymond, Hen- ry Ward Beecher, Thurlow Weed, and others of equal prominence. His ap- peal brought a faverable response and Mr, McKelway was told to - present himself for work at a gertain date. One evening Mr. Weed sought young McKelway in Albany and urged him to decline the appointment and stick to journalism. Mr, Weed, one of the most powerful politicians of his time declared that in taking a postmaster- ship in Rochester and a nomination for the New York assembly he had { made a mistake, and he did not wish his young friend to make one like it. The Brooklyn Eagle quotes Mr. Weed ag saying that ‘“he did not know any newspaper man who had taken office who had not in that act gone wrong.” That is the law and the gospel for real newspaper men, and fortunately the waiting post in the revenue ser- vice was never taken. So Mr. Weed preserved Mr. McKelway for his lar- ger service.

McMiLt AN CARDINAL GIBBONS 1 TALKS ON MEXICOA‘ Slips. \ Venerable Clergyman, 81 Yesterday, Says Americuns Can Be Depended Upon in Any Emergéncy. Westminister, Md., July 24.—Car- dinal Gibbons spent the Slst anni- versary of his birth yesterday at the home of T. Herbert Shriver, former senator, near here. In an interview this afternoon with a representative of a newspaper he showed deep concern in the greut world_ questions, ’ His first subject was the Mexican question, which, he sald, would not down. In referring to the practically unchanged conditions so far as our nation 1s concerned, he said: “One year ago today we talked of the theu conditions in Mexico, and my wviews have not changed. The interview I gave you that day was published all over the world and came under the direct notice of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan. President Wilson sent United States Senator Lee Yo confer with me on the subject and “e did me the honor to send to me copies of the telegraph messages he had transmitted to Carranza and Vil la. “I expressed to Senator Lee by opinion that neither Carranza nor Villa were capable of feeling influencs of lofty :aotives of patriotism, and that they would not heed his mes- sage. The end has justified my opin- ion. I am convineed that neither ex- postulation, entreaty nor advice will ever haye any effect on those who are now assuming the leadership in Mexi - co, and 1 fear that the sword is the only argument that can have any welght, nnd believe thal sooner or later some forin of intervention musi be pursued by our country. “The greatest difficulty will be for our president to find a Mexican who | can Yo placed at the head of affairs, unselfish and patriotic, and for a time, at least, it will be necessary an American with plenary powers deal with the situation.” Asked his opipion on the need of a strong standing army in the United States, he replied: We do not want it. we do not need it. duet the energies of our people bas directed to peaceful pursuils, let their lives be given te ecommercial develop- ment and cducational uplift; do not divert a great mass of men into o professional soldiery.
