-lt“i‘s not necessary to be in entire

MR. TAF‘I' ON THE. STUMP.
Mr. Taft has probably been induced
to go upon the stump durin this cam.
psign against his better in meat. it
would be altogst or more seemly for
him to remain a home, making oc-
casional addresses from his front
porch or, at most, to appear before a
few associations and assemblies where
he could appear without that loss of
dignity which is involved in a regular
stumping tour.
He has probably been persuaded to
make a speaking tour from coast to
coast by the solicitations of some of
the party chairmen in the middle yest-
ern states who want to have the Re
publican campaign strengthened by
the enthusiasm which is inspired by
the presence of a presidential candi-
date. .
But what.Mr. Taft may gain from
yielding to these demands he is very
likely to lose in other ways.
The example set by Mr. Bryan, who
in all of his campaigns has stumped
the country, is not a good one for Mr.
Taft to follow. For one thing, Mr.
Bryan' is ‘an accomplished stump
speaker: All that he has gained in the
political world has been by making
r
speeches. He is a master hand at the
bugi ass. No one, in this country
do asxhlm. 0n tfi other hand, Mr.
Taft, While possessing an attractivr
personality is neither expert nor in-
spiring as a political orator. in adopt
ing Bryan methods he is simply giv-.
ing an advantage to air. Bryan, for in
public speaking Mr. Bryan has decid‘
edly the better of him. It is the char-
acter of Mr. Taft and his great achieve-
ments-in the judicial and executive
pesitlons which hw’ihas held in this
country that gives him his advantagt
over: Mr. Bryan—Wall Street Journal.
THE FIRE LOSS.
it is not. so surprising that foreign
insurance companies are becoming
alarmed over the tremendous losses by
fire in the United States. These loss-
es are so great as to he appalling.
They are so great that they must be
numbered among the large causes of
the panic of 1907. They are so great.
as to constitute a bigger tax upon the
usiness of the country than all the
ailures of banks. They are so great
as to be a more, soricus'evil than gam-
bling. Among the many wastes which
are burdening American business, no
other calls for more 'Immedate atten-
tion than the fire loss.

There was a report around South
Norivaik this morning to the effect
that. a colored man had assaulted a
little white girl. The police heard the
rumor, .but did not believe there was
any truth in the story, for no report
of such an occurrence was reported in
such shape that it could be traced

Chief of Police Vollmer was of the
opinion that possibly the report grew

Artillery «mini Substions its list
in Warfare.
WASHINGTON, Sept. ll.——Tho
chance remark of a sergeant of artil-
lery at Fort Myer during the aero-
plane filghts of Orville Wright was
the basis for a discussion of one of
theme-t important features of the
vsrnment's interest in serial craft
or war purposes. The discusion took
place at a dinner tendered to My.
Wright by naval officers. Said the set:
scant:
"Airships aren't sny‘good to launch
a shell from, because you can's get
the 'centrifugai force’ that is necessary
to hit an object." The idea the echo
commissiOned officer intends to convey
was that the whirling motion given a
shell by the modern steel bore guns
could not be accomplished in dropping
an explosive shell from an airship.
The main facts brought out in the
discussion of the aeroplane as an in-
strument of war were that a machine
such as that of the Wright brothers
would be practically lnvulnerable as a
target for the enemy’s guns. that with
a little target practice an explosive
could be dropped on a war vessel with
damaging results and that the aerial
war craft could be launched from the
deck of a battleship. Mr. Wright said
that he had made experiments with a
swinging weight. to see how closely he
could hit objects over which he was
flying.
"I found that after a little practice
it became comparatively easy to put
the weight just where i want to," said
Mr. Wright. ,
“On your present machine, how
much weight could he added in the
shape of a gun?" Mr. Wright was ask-
ed.
“One hundred and fifty pounds," he
replied.
"The merits of launching an explo-
xive from a gun were then discussed.
Mr. Wright said there would not he a.
sufficient "kick" to cause the aeroplane
to diverge from its course. A shell
could be dropped into the tunnel of a
warship. causing terrible damage to
the machlnuery and completing its
work of destruction by bursting the
boilers. it was sugecstcrl by one or
the officers present that attacks could
be made by a number of aeroplanes as
is now done by the torpedo boats. it
was pointed out that the greater cheap»
ness of the aeroplane and the fact that
but one life for each ship would be
sacrificed would make these attacks
more economical from both a humani-
tarian and a monetary viewpoint.
