BEST NONE TOO GOOD. It is a sigmificant statement which is made by one of the leading aviators when he declares that the lives of the army aviation corps are being sacri- ficed because of the character of the machines which ihey are using in their éxperiments. Whether this is a fact or mnot it is certain that the loss of fifteen officials engaged in conquering the air for war purposes is sufficient to cause the govermment to take every means possibie to check it. With the army corps, the hairraising stunts which some of the birdmen are in- clined to try bave mno place. They have more sensible objects at stake and for that reason the tip that gov- ernment aeroplanes are unsafe and dangerous to the lives of ;the officers deserves careful scrutiny and neces- sary investigation. * It is not alone in the milttary circles that aviators are killed but there reck- lessness plays no such part as is cred- ited to many of the daring birdmen. Where so much in the way of human life is being offered for the perfection of this branch of military protection the government must see that it is not through the fault of the machines that S0 many lives are being lost. The best is none too good in the other branches of the military and nawal service and it should not be in the aerial service. 1905, averag®e.....icecees 5‘92‘] it S AW THANKSGIVING. This is the great day of national thanksgiving. Inspired by our fore- fathers as a time for humble acknowl- edgment of the blessings and bounties of the year, it is a holiday which has come down from the earliest seitlers of the country. Thankseiving then was a day set apart at the close of the harvest season for publicly declaring their appreciation of the favors of the Almighty, as expressed in the crops for the meeting of the long hard win- ters. It was and is a day of feasting as well as of religious observance. It has extended from a small circle to a large one and today this great country from shore to shore, wiih its many early ! Col. Goethals makes known some i H H ! ? H 1t is by no means the only day for giving thanks, but it is the day for all to publicly join in thanksgiving. Hen- ry Ward Beecher has well said: “Thanksgiving day is the one national festival which turns on home life. It is not a day of ecclesiastical saints. It is not a national anniversary. Tt is not a day of celebrating a religious event. It is a day of Nature. It is a day of thanksgiving for the year’s his- tory. And it must pivot on the house- hold. A typical Thanksgiving dinner represents everything that has grown in all the summer, fit to make glad the heart of man. It is not a riotous feast. It is a table piled high, among the group of roilicking young and the sober joy of the old, with the treas- ures of the growing year, accepted with rejoicings and interchange of many festivities as a token of grati- tude to Almighty God. Remember God’s bounty in the year. String the EDITORIAL NOTES. There’s going to be a good many liver Twists today. The best wishes of the nation go to the White House bride. The'man on the corner says: Wise is the man who leaves the table a wee bit hungry. The great struggle of the average man today is not in being able to find a turkey but in getting the price. Yale is a true blue football sport. It continues to lose to Harvard but it doesn’t blame it onto the coaching system. pearis of His favor. Hide the dark parts, except so far as they are break- ing out in light. Give this one day to thanks, to joy, to gratitude!” There are a great many things to be thankful for today which are likely to be forgotten in the wishbone. tussle for the HOW MEXICANS FEEL. An insight into the real feeling of the Mexicans towards this country is furnished by the expressed attitude of the Mexican merchant in Canada who declared that he would take up arms and lose himself in fighting for the honor of his country should a United States army of intervention enter Mexico. This is only in accord with many other reports which have been brought to this country from the republic at the south. There is but the one con- clusion therefrom and that is that Mexico looks upon us with distrust. This indicates a widespread feeling Necessity is the mother of invention. The domestication of the heron is be- ing urged to prevent their slaughter in obtaining aigrettes. If November only turns over its task of making good for October, to December-no one ought to worry un- less it is the iceman. Those who must pay the income tax should be thankful that they are not residents of Mexico where Huerta is so hard pressed for funds. Now that the most democratic event on the White House social cal- endar has been abolished the president which must be overcome if the repub- lic is going to receive the full benefit of the assistance which this country stands ready to give. Mexico must realize by this time that it is not the purpose of this government to send an army into that country, however much certain influences are urging it, and if there is anyway possible to do so it must be made to realize that it is not greed which actuates this country in the present state of affairs. Tts chaotic condition just now makes any step difficult but there is merit in the suggestion that when the time is ripe this countr/ cooperate with other American republics for the adjustment of affairs and the establishment of peace. If this would give Mexico any greater confldence in our sincerity would be the best policy to pursue and it could not but make the proper im- pression upon the other republics. will be hard put to provide a substi- tute.

Delaware is being advised to abolish the whipping post or restrict it to wife beaters. The latter suggestion is in accordance with the ideas of the governor of this state. THE PULLMAN TIPS. Travelers will follow with particular interest the progress and the outcome of the investigation underway by the raflroad commission of the state of California into the part which the public is called upon to take in pro- viding the salary of the porters on Pullman cars. It is in other words an effort to get at the facts concerning a system of tipping which is both the fault of the comfwany and the public but which operates as an extra tax upon the traveling public to the ben- efit of company and employe. That the system exists cannot be news to the commission but in a determination to take remedla] action the commis- sioners must necessarily get at the foundation of the practice, There certainly 18 no reason why the burden of expense of operating such trains and effording the luxury of such railroad seérvice should be forced upon the public after it has al- ready pald handsomely for the privi- legas.

There are persons who constantly bore others by talking about their own afflictions. It is a distressing form of monomania. To think about our own troubles is excusable sometimes it is a necessity; to speak about them is a social offense. There are times when we may, dis- creetly and guardedly, confide some- thing of our ailments or worries to a trusted friend; but even this is a gratification not to be too freely in- dulged. When we do so we must al- lcw the friend to indemnify himselt by enlarging on similar matters of his own; there must be give and take. We all know people who insist on being monopolists in this very selfish indulgence. They buttonhole us by the hour while we listen to garrulous descrip- tions of their aches and pains, their mysterious physical sensations, the ex- traordinary bodily distresses t ap- pear to be their sole prerogativ: but if at last we venture to hint hesitat- ingly that we ourselves have troubles, they listen with a stony stare and pass on to renewed ,talk of their woes and sufferings, as though our words had Peen an unwarranted digression. Not only will they endure no rivalry in the endless catalogue of their material afflictions; they will not admit any effort at competition. When two such persons ineet the difficulty is obviated only by both talking at once. The struggle ends in the trfumph of the loudest voice and the strongest lungs and they part with mutual disrespect.
