NO CLOUDSIN SIT COLONEL GEORGE HARVEY SAYS COUNTRY ALL RIGHT. THE WRITER SEES NO CLOUD Striking Article in North American Review That la Attracting Wide Attention. The attention of business and pro fesslonal men in all portions of the country has been attracted to a strik ingly strong article by Col. George Harvey in the September issue of the North American Review in which the writer takes a view of the greatest hopefulness for the future of America and Americans. The article is en titled “A Plea for the Conservation of Common Sense,” and It is meeting with the cordial approval of business men of all shades of political opinion throughout the entire country. In part, Colonel Harvey says: “Unquestionably a spirit of unrest dominates the land. But, if it be true that fundamentally the condition of the country is sound, must we necessarily succumb to despon<*ency, abandon effort looking to retrieval and cringe like cravens before clouds that only threaten? Rather ought we not to analyze conditions, search for causes, find the root of the dis tress, which even now exists only in men's minds, and then, after the American fashion, apply such rem edies as seems most likely to produce beneficent results? Capital and Labor Not Antagonistic. “The Link that connects labor with capital Is not broken but we may not deny that it is less cohesive than It should be or than conditions war runt. Financially, the country is stronger than ever before in its his tory. Recovery from a panic so severe as that of three years ago was never before so prompt and compara tively complete. The masses are practically free from debt. Money Is held by the banks in abundance and rates are low. “Why, then, does capital pauts upon the threshold of investment? The answer, we believe, to be plain. It awaits adjustment of the relations of government to business. * • * The sole problem consists of determining how government can maintain an even ba'nnce between aggregations of interet*', on the one hand, and the whole people, on the other, protect ing the latter against extortion ani saving the former from mad assauVs. ‘‘The solution is not easy to find for the simple reason that the situ ation is without precedent. But is not progress being made along sane and cautious lines? • * • Conserve Common Sense. “Is not the present, as we have seen, exceptionally secure? What, then, of preparations for the future? Patriotism is the basis of our insti tutions. And patriotism in the minds of our youth is no longer linked solely with fireworks and deeds of daring. It is taught In our schools. Anew cours- has been added —a course in loyalty. Methodically, our children Jearn how to vote, how to conduct primaries, conventions and elections, how to discriminate between qualifica tions of candidates and, Dually, how to govern as well as serve. They are taught to despise bribery and all forms of corruption and Iraud as treason. Their creed, which they are made to know by heart, is not com plex. It is simple, but comprehen sive, no less beautiful In diction than lofty in aspiration. These are the pledges which are graven upon their memories: “As it is cowardly for a soldier to run away from battle, so it is coward ly for any citizen not to contribute his share to the well-being of his country. America is my own dear land; she nourishes me, and I will love her and do my duty to her, whose child, servant and civil soldier I am. “As the health and happiness of my body depend upon each muscle and nerve ?..d drop oi blood doing its work in its place, so the health and happiness of my country depend upon each citizen doing his work In his place. “These young citizens are our hostages to fortune. Can we not safely assume that the principles ani mating their lives augur well for the permanency of the Republic? When before have the foundation stones of continuance been laid with such care and promise of durability? “The future, then, is bright And the present? But one thing is need ful: No present movement is more laudable than that which looks to conservation of natural resources. But let us never forget that the great est Inherent resource of the Amer ican people is Common Sense. Let that be conserved and applied with out cessation, and soon it will be found that all the ills of which we complain but know not of are only such as attend upon the growing pains of a great and blessed country.

SHOOTS RAPIDS LIKE A FURY Engine of Motor Craft Gets Out of Order, Preventing Daring Man from Completing Scheduled Trip— Is Slightly Hurt. Niagara Falls, N. Y. —Capt. Klaus Larsen Sunday in his motor boat Fer ro made a successful trip through the whirlpool rapids of Niagara. Because the engine was put out of order in the vicinity of the whirlpool he did not go clear to Lewiston in the boat which, after leaving the pool, drifted into Dead Man’s eddy near Ni agara university, where it was swung to shore. Larsen was picked up by an electric car and taken to Lewis ton, three miles further down stream, where his injured arm was treated. The boat was apparently undam aged. Starting at five o’clock, it took Lar sen five minutes to reach the railway bridges and the next minute his boat, the Ferro, had ridden the first wave. Then came a frightful tumult of strike after strike. Never before had a mo tor boat been in such a sea, hut it was clear that Larsen was in control as the boat responded nicely to the helm. He shot through the rapids and into the pool like a fury and was soon being rushed ccross the great river pocket, having failed to make the out let as he expected. He swung to the Canadian sir%e and into the driftwood. But from this he hurried away under power. He drove his boat away across to the New York side and swung out of the outlet. It was about this time that the en gine went wrong and he drifted into an eddy near Niagara university be low the Devil’s hole. As the Ferro swung toward shore it seemed as though it would be beaten on the rocks, but people on shore prevented this and helped Larsen land.

ROLD AVIATORS TAIL AMERICAN AND PERUVIAN BOTH MAKE START BEFORE IM MENSE CROWDS. WIND AND FOG STOPS FLIGHT The Contestants Must Reach an Alti tude of 7,000 Feet at Beginning of the 75-M le Flight. One At tained a H ght of 7,546 Feet. Brig, Switzerland.—Though the weather was unpropitious for the bold undertakng, Weymann. the American, and George Chavez, the Peruvian, attempted the cross-Alps aeroplane flight. Both failed, but not until they had given exhibitions of high flying that promised better success in fair weather. Weymann in his biplane remained in the air only eight minutes. He ascended to an altitude of about 1.700 feet, where he encountered a baffling wind. In landing he bent the steer ing wheel. Chavez reached an altitude of 7,- 546 feet, only 863 feet below his maintain an altitude of some 7.000 aviators are Cattaneo and Paillette. The terms of the competition provile that the flight be made before S-pt. 26. To clear the pass the aviators must maintain an altitude of some 7.000 feet during the first half hour. The dist inee is seventy-five miles. The two balloonists got away with encouraging cries from an enormous crowd that were disappointed by pre vious trials and had feared that bad weather would compel another post ponement. Chavez left the starting ground— a little quadrilateral plateau over looking the Rhone valley—first and immediately began to rise in sweeping spirals until he had reached an alti tude above the towering mountain wall opposite. Then he disappeared over the granite shoulder that marks the entrance to the Saltine gorge. A moment later the watchers at that point saw the monoplane wheel and gradually descend until it alighted on a little grassy slope at the foot of the sheer cliffs. Weymann started a few moments after Chavez. Chavez explained that he had reached an altitude of about 6,500 feet, when he was caught in a violent wind. He observed that the summit of the Simplon pass was obscured by heavy clouds and decided to return rather than chance landing farther on among the rocks. He announced that he might try again later in the day. “My motor was running perfectly and I was 650 feet above the summit of the Simplon pass when the wind forced me to return,” said Chavez. “Never before had I encountered such air currents. My machine was caught in swirling eddies and bobbed like a cork in a torrent, almost throw ing me from my seat.” Later an official examination of his barometer showed that Chavez at tained a height of 7,546 feet.
