Roosevelt and Hearst, and we aré standing agape with horror written on our faces. One would really think this infor its newness and incredible. The press teems with charges, counter-charges, replies and fresh accusations, as if the annals of the country contained not the like, while as a matter of fact it is something that every one of us has known for years It has been printed time after time. It is so stale that Lincoln Steffens and his fellow delvers in the muck would not turn a hair were they to see Mt. Rockefeller making out a check while Mr. Foraker stood hat in hand to receive it, or were they to observe Mr. Bailey, of Texas, seated on a stool busily earning his salary at No. 26 Broadway That every corporation out of the peewee class has re tained legal talent in the United States senate is axiomatic ation was startling in a Hin vib It is accepted with that readiness of belief that we accord | {ng my atviee, took a headache “How aig shortest distance | Powter asked to the statement that a straight line is the ortest « c ae tics Ga: Nitae, dh bik bass | ote between two points, or that Mr. Furth doesn’t care for the comfort of the patrons of lis street cars, And none but the soft of head has any idea that these gentlemen of the senate are retained for their legal ability. There are undoubtedly capable lawyers in the senate, but in compari- son with the lawyers of ability out of the senate their num ber is so small as to merit no consideration. United States senators are simply retained by big corporations for their well known that it is bordering on the ridiculous to print it Mr, Foraker is properly astonished that there should be y fuss over the matter, as he naively admits that he occupies & position well up toward the top on the Standard Oil payroll He has past precedent and present example to justify his} Jekyl and Hyde role, and peevishly complains of the impetuous | construction placed on it by President Roosevelt While attempting no defense for the senator from Ohio, and with nothing but condemnation for his political conduct, | it nevertheless seems that our honored president has added} another to his long list of “half-cocked"” explosions. That} Hearst should treat Foraker fairly was not to be presumed, | and it was only to be expected that he would withhold and] distort to the best of his editorial and reportorial ability to} gain his point. But it is rather annoying to have our president, lovable in his faults, hastily arraying himself beside Hearst | in a letter-stealing, mud-slinging controversy that adds nothing | to the sum total of our knowledge of the derelictions of Sen-| ator Foraker. The mere presentation of the documentary connection be tween Foraker and the Standard Oil was no occasion for presi- dential anguish and outcroppings of Rooseveltian wrath.| Either the president must have known these facts for several years back, or he got into action with more speed than a prudent and careful man in high office ordinarily shows. After all some good may come of it. Why stop with For- aker? Why not take the roll call of the senate and check off | the Standard Oil names and paste them up on the wall of that) august assembly hall, with such other information as to salary, duties, working hours and compensation as will keep the public well informed as to the details of the co-partnership existing between the People and the Interests in the United States senate. MAN’S UNTRIED AND WAVERING WINGS Have we conquered the air? Not yet. Neither has the young bird that flutters down from the nest, in danger of being dashed against stones or pounced on by cats. The aeroplane and the aerostat are just trying their wings, and those wings are weak. The British Nulli Secundus, the French La Patrie, the Zeppelin airship—all lost by wind or} explosion or other accident Orville Wright's aeroplane, the killing of Lieut. Selfridge and} the injury of Mr. Wright himself. Weak wings, unpracticed muscle, new conditions, lack of experience. they cause dreadful accidents to these daring men But, potentially, the air is conquered. The young eagle, flapping his wings for his first clumsy flight, has no surer promise of dominion of the atmosphere than has man in the achievements of the aviators of the twentieth century. The problem of flight solved. Safety, effectiveness, usefulness | —these will come with years. The victory is certain.
