When Theodore, Jr., becomes an av- iator that family will certainly be in the spotlight. Harry Thaw will not journalize at present. And yet he has been ad judged insane. Jeffries and Johnson are now fight ing with their tongues. Later they will use their fists. The aeroplanes may need skypar lors or roosts. They certainly would be misfits in a garage. Greece simply refers the war-like Young Turks to her diplomatic agents, England, Russia, & Co. t t tvwt, nnri his tins will be welcomed hereafter in all royal and "trooly" aristocratic circles. Golfer John Hays Hammond has a happy knack of getting into the inner circle of this administration. nlouds SDeaker Cannon sees no hanging over the future of the country except possibly the glove schedule. Harry Thaw never, at any rate, at tempted to make a dash to the north pole or set up as a wise man and prophet. Through dissentions and the lack of funds the movement in New York to build a children's theatre has been abandoned. The Oklahoma constitution does not prove to be an ideal instrument, for it does not sanction the killing of um pires on the spot. The English channel has been crossed by swimmers and aviators, and it may be by submarines, when it will be as good as abolished. Plunger Patten - knows when to plunge and when to go to his ranch. He knows, in fact, almost as much as Jim Hill, who knows it all. The President will not ride on reg ular trains in his long 13,000-mile jaunt. Special trains will follow reg ular trains and the latter will get all the bumps. THAT "JVEW RELIGION." The alleged "new religion" that Dr Eliot recently brought to public no- tice does not seem to have excited much general interest. In fact, there seems to be nothing "new", about it, and the Washington Post thus esti- mates its worth. It says: "If a man die, shall he live again?" That was a problem unsolved by the grandest of all the poets, the sublim- est of all the philosophers who con- tributed to Holy Writ. Job could not answer it; nor Plato to Bacon, from Aristotle to Burke, from Socrates to Newton is given no conclusive solu- tion to it. And hence sane man must accept the gospel of Jesus Christ and live and die by faith and do his works as best he may. - This doctrine of President Eliot, of Harvard is not new. It is agnosticism, and was preached by Bolingbroke, by Paine, by Bob Ingersoll, and the rest of them. Man is a natural-born cow- ard, and that is the reason that our swords are not yet plowshares and our spears not yet pruning hooks. There is a heap of plausibility in ttiis stuff from Dr. Eliot: "It will not be bound by dogma or creed, Its workings will be simple, but its field of action limiciess Its discipline will be training in the de- velopment of co-operative good will. It will attack all" forms of evil. There will be no supernatural element;- it will place no reliance on anything but the aws of nature. Prevention will be the -watchword and a skilled sur geon one of its members. ; God will be so imminent that no intermediary wijl be needed. Its priests will strive to improve social and industrial condi tions. Tha new religion will not at tempt to reconcile people to present ills by the promise of future compen sation." It looks mighty fine, reads mighty well ; but the wise menof the East saw the star of Bethlehem, and that is -an all-sufficient answer to all ag nosticism. Millions have died for the cross rand the tragedy of Calvary was never so -resplendent in its glorifica tion as in this season nearly 2,000 years later. It's a hollow mockery echo, "The law s delays were pvir ut oy Hamlet as tela of the evils ot-times long since gone, but they are still en countered, and perhaps will always remain as long as technicalities exist and wealth can find continued access to the courts of law, There is no greater evil than the growing, widening of the breach be tween the small and great malefac tors, the poor and rich offenders TJiere is also something to fear in the farces that are too frequently forced unon the courts, and of which the Baltimore News says: - "The truth is that lynching and jury corruption and all the evils of our ad ministration of criminal law are the inevitable growths of just such pro cedures as have kept the Thaw case a continuing sensation for the morbid minded community for years, A first class spectacle is made of the most solemn and awesome processes of jus tice. Thaw and Jerome give a fine spectacle of two men matching wits. The stories about their fencing bouts, their repartee and their badmage make good reading. But there is more of comedy about it than of the impres sive enforcement of the idea that mur der is a great crime, that justice is inexorable and that its administration is the highest duty of society." AND STILL THEY COME. Printed matter - and illustrations concerning the Exposicion Interna cional de Ferro Carriles and Trans poses Terrestres, or International Exhibition of Railways and Land Transport, to be held at Buenos Aires, Argentine Republic, from May 25 to November 25, 1910, which has been sent out broadcast, proves to be very interesting and informing. gained from this matter is that the exports from Argentina during last year aggregated in value nearly two thousands of millions of frnncs, or $400,000,000. Of this vast amount of (stuff the greater portion was taken y five countries. These are .England, uermany, France, the United States of America and Italy. In francs, England took 466,856; Germany, 189,235, while the United States followed with 177,985" France and Italy each took a little less than we did. It will be noted that we, although on this side of the At lantic and with many natural advant ages, do less business with our very progressive and alert neighboring re public than the Germans do. England, which took Argentine products to the extent of nearly so much as the three next consumers might "be expected to lead, since she is from necessity a large buyer of wheat and beef, of which commodi ties Argentine is a large seller. That4 our takings were less than those of Germany, however, seems to prove conclusively that we are not cultivat ing that field nearly so well as she, nor so well as we should. Incidentally, the exports of Argen tina last year exceeded her imports about one-third. That, is an excellent showing for Argentina. It is stated that a large and diffuse exposition was contemplated, but the manage ment, wisely in our judgment,1 de cided to limit the showing made to transportation, including railways, automobiles and kindred lines and de cided to expend the' vast sum first contemplated to be expended, in con structing a subway system in Buenos Aires and the ; erection of a number of monuments. Buenos Aires, a4 city of 1,200,000, needs the subways greatly, having many railways leading to it and much congestion in the business district, The streets are at times almost im- passable because of the great throng of people massed in them, In point of area the city is said to be the largest in the world. It is a very interesting city and numbers - among its notable things La Prensa, one of the worTd's greatest newspapers. Wishing the people of Argentina and Buenos Aires complete success for their exposition, which certainly must prove unique and of great in- terest, we hope also that the affair shall result in awakening the people of the United States to the desirabil- ity of closer relations with the Ar- gentine, as with a number of other of our friendly neighbors to the.

Contestants Mak Sionie Test Flights, During Which There Is a r row Escape of Two "Ma chines' Colliding. ' - Rheims, August ID. The American aviator, Glenn H. Curtiss, at sundown today added a dramatic feature to the trial flights of the aeroplanes entered for the contests of Aviation Week by skillfully guiding his machine above another aeroplane and averting a col lision in the air that seemed immi nent. The feat was accomplished when, for the first time in history, three heavier-than-air craft were maneu vered at the same time. All were fly ing rapidly when suddenly Curtiss saw M. Dumanset in an Antoniotte monoplane approaching at right an gles and on the same level with him. As quick as a flash Curtiss" realized the danger, and, elevating his planes, his machine instantly shot upward and soared safely over the French man. The thousands ot spectators who lined the aerodome watched the maneuver with bated breath, but when they saw it successsfully and bril liantly carried out they applauded the American wildly. The third machine in the air at this time was that of M. Dissander. The jwind, which had been master of the aeroplanes for two days, sud denly died out at sundown and the aviators rushed to the sheds and dragged out their machines. Count de Lambert, on a Wright model, was the first of the aviators to start and made a complete circuit of the aerodome. M. Dissander, also on a Wright bi-plane, followed him. Then the Curtiss machine, looking smaller and more compact than the others, was placed in position for a flight. Curtiss still was limping and used in walking a gnarled stick, but, like M. Bleriot, who before crossing the English channel in his monoplane, threw aside his crutch. Curtiss "mounted the seat of his bi-plane un encumbered. Where will you land.' he was asked. "Right here," answered Curtiss, and smiling he started his motor. After a short run over the ground the aero plane ascended and made a wJde turn and then described evolutions back and forth over the aerodome. Mean time, C. Dumanset had started across the field in one of the ntoniotte ma cnines, Suddenly it seemed .to the crowd below that a collision between him and Curtiss was inevitable, but the American proved a quick thinker and gracefully turned his machine upward and steered it swiftly over that of Du manset. Curtiss, true to his word, -landed without accident at his place of start ing, after having been in the air four minutes. The altitude reached by him was 150 feet, fifty feet higher than any of the others. Count de Lambert and AI. Tissander each made flights of twelve minutes during the evening and Hubert La tham took a few short spins about the course and was given an ovation by the spectators. M. Bleriot crime out on the field with his monoplane, but darkness flight. prevented his makinj Mr. Curtiss tonight joined the other experts in a statement to the effect that aviation is a fine weather sport but that people must not expect flights to be made in all sorts of weather Personally, Mr. Curtiss said, he did not intend to take any risks. He has decided' not to enter the passenger carrying contest, as he has no hope of defeating Bleriot in it. He intends instead, to devote himself to the speed contests THE CRETAN SITUATION. Powers Regret That Turkey Did Not Leave Matter With Them. London, August 20. In the joint note on the Cretan situation sent to the Porte yesterday .the four protect ing powers of the island Great Brit tain, Russia, Italy ' and France ex pressed their regret that Turkey had not left the settlement of the Cretan question in their hands. In this con nection, it is pointed out that the pow ers have shown " every disposition to safeguard Turkish interests in Crete Regarding Macedonia the , note sug gests that the best course " for the Porte to pursue ifl the interest peace js tbappeal to the powers that signed the Berlin treaty and lay be fore them any grievances Turkey may have. THE FULLER BILL PASSES. Alabama's Most Drastic Prohibition Bill Goes Through Senate. , Montgomery, Ala., August 20. The Fuller prohibition bill passed the Sen ate today. r The bill makes the use of the word saloon1 a crime, bars the advertise ments of liquors from billboards and signs, .and holds that even- the pos session of a Federal liquor license is absolute proof of the selling of the goods. . EMEYSKlBIIEirCUIvE Makes Kldny end Bladder1 Rich ; ; ; States Senator William f Kansas thus defines the iSoVcr b?bk-:d Aldrichi "AluncU has the financial power of the country at his beck and call. He could unseat any man who holds a certificate cf election in the United States Senate.' He could bring all the zrtv-X corporate interests together against LIm. If he said, 'That man ouil t to ho turned out,' they would do it." ' ' ; , . j Mr. Harris, no doubt, correctly pre sents the situation in all the states ruled by bosses and magnates, but he does not accurately present the situa tion in the states that have adopted the primary srstem. Possibly in the latter states the great corporate in terests could put up a. strong fight, but they would have to do so with rare tact and secrecy in order to be suc cessful. The chances largely are they cculd not make or unmake a man in state in which the people act directly. The great object of the primary sys tem is to take government out of the hands of the special interests and to place it in the. hands of the people, where it belongs. When this is done the United States Senate will slip out of the hands of the Aldrich clique, and men like Cummins and LaFol- lette in the Republicaif party will have weight and influence in that body. Mr. Harris has not duly weighed the importance of the move ment that is taking power from thts special interests. He has not meas ured the effects of the movement al ready in th Senate. He has not studied it. The people are the best udges cf what they want, and when they act directly they are in position tt get what hey want. Tae men who dkiirust thi people are' the men who e not studied closely the history ct political contests in th;s country. THE WORLD'S COTTON NEED. Not in many years had imports ex ceeded exports down to June and July last. Whether this change was due to a short wheat crop or to anticipatory importations on account of the then pending tariff bill, or to both, no one can say. in the course ot August and September we will know which way the merchandise trade balance is to go, Those who are watching it become deeply interested in the outturn of the cotton crop. Out of $833,000,000 of agricultural products in the last fiscal year cotton furnished $417,000,000, or almost exactly one-half. Cotton is our chief export crop, and the size of the growing crop may determine whether the balance of trade will be in our favor or against us. The world needs 12,438,000 bales of American cotton. So runs the Ellison estimate, and the latest government report does not point to a crop ex ceeding 11,500,000 bales. However, an estimate of cotton production made early in August is not altogether trustworthy. We do not even know how- many bushels of wheat we will have for export and the harvest is well progressed. The picking of cot ton is in the future, and we may have enough cotton and wheat to overcome all imports, leaving a so-called trade balance in our favor. It is possible, BUSINESS CONDITIONS. The Tradesman's. Review of Business Conditions for Past Week. Chattanooga, Tenn., August 21. Ac cording to advices received by The Tradesman from all portions of the South, there is steady improvement in the principal industrial lines. Reviewing hardware conditions, The Tradesman says: There are no disappointing features to the hardware trade in the South this week, the business thus far this month more than meeting the expec tations of the jobbers catering to this trade. Just after the passage of the tariff bill signs of improvement were noted in the principal markets and it has since spread to the retail com munities with telling effect. The crop prospects continue excellent with splendid hopes of good prices this fall. All these influences have helpful bearing on the situation and it now appears certain that the fall trade will be the largest in the history of the South. Retailers who have been carrying very light stocks for practi cally two years are now able to see into the future somewhatNand are pre paring to carry mUch larger stocks, This is one of the chief features of the trade this week, and promises characterize the market for several weeks to come. There is a general feeling of safety with the trade, from manufacturer. to- retailer that pro duces an unusually healthy condition. The Southeastern trade is particular ly healthy with larger and more f re quent orders than has been noted, for two years. - In the Southwest caution has been practiced for several weeks but the cotton crop still promises to be very' fair with excellent prices which will make Texas a liberal .buy er Of hardware again.
