EDITORIAL PAGE
recognition has come late
A large section of the American
press and oJ! the American public
lushed at Prof. Samuel.P. Langley
of the Smithsonian institution,
Washington, 1). C., when his aero
dromn at Widewatfer, Va., in Decem
ber, 1903, met with its second and
tiual defeat. Further expenditure
of time, and money by congress on
such "ridiculous experiments" was
widely condemned. When.the In
ventor insisted that the lault was
not in the idea behind the aero
drome, but simply in the median*
ism, little attention .or respect was
paid him. "The statement that the
m.ichiue fell through lack.of power
to fly," he said, "is a wholly mis
taken one. . This," he added, "is
but one of the large chapter of ac
cidents that beset the initial btages
of any experiment so novel as. this."
But the press and the public, hav
ing had their laugh, were too busy
about other things to give further
heed to Professor . Langley and his
"absurd" lying machine during the
remainder of his career..
In later days when the aeroplane
was a proved success it was Been
that :ts construction was practical
ly on lines laid down by Professor
Langley, and the Wright broth
ers were quick to acknowledge their
indebtedness to the man who had
"failed." Since then it has been
proved that the aerodrome with
some slight improvements in its
machinery was capable of .flying.
Since then some of the foremost in
ventors ot the United states have
pi id tribute to the genius of Lang
lev. The founding of the Langley
aerodynamic laboratory of. the
Smithsonian institution i3 a national
monument to him. At the Pana
ma-Pacific international exposition,
:i<3 our San Francisco des
patches tell us, marked recognition
is bestowed upon the man now uni
versally recognized as the pioneer
constructor of heavier-than-air fly
ing machines.
Th-> quiet, scholarly man who |
wot ked out the idea of .the plane j
.u.uhemat'caUy. and whcse theory
has been pronounced, in these
later vears, correct in every par
ticular, lacked just a little practical
knowledge, or a little practical ad
vice. The apparent failure was
dee primarily tc the refusal of a
clutch to loosen at the proper mo
ment. Clutche3 hare refused to
loosen or to tighten in thousands
oi other instances before and since,
but the whole world has not been
looking on, and the whole world
has uot been impatient or "uncharit
able. If the telegraph, the tele
phone or the .automobile had been
dragged into universal derision be
cause of early failures in mechan
ism, it is impossible to say how
long the world would ihave been
obliged to wait for perfection in
these great conveniences. The
Wright brothers very wisely be
took themselves, their invention
:uid their experiments to the sand
dunes of western Indiana, .and'
when they seemed to fail, as
t Iiey did repeatedly, there was . no
company to ridkule or discourage or
cishearten them.
Recognition and bonov have come
late to the name of Langley, but
have seldom been given more un
grudgingly.
OX THE LOVE OF FLOWERS
"The real flower lover, is strange
ly enough, not always the person
with the largest garden or the one
most often seen bearing flowers
about with a delight in their per
fume and beauty. He is, rather the
guarclinn of the flowers, who pro
tects their natural haunts, who
knows them in the depths of the
woods, hidden under the edge of
stony crags, who has become sym
pathetic to their reticence, whose
joy is In their growth, their nat'v»,'
beauty and who la tender of their
surroundings aud their life, as one
would bo of human beings.
"The flower lover is usually a poet
and poets are often sympathetic
flower lovers. Bacon has put on
record his sentiment that 'because
the breath of flowerc is far sweet
er in thflfcur (where it comes and
go*s, like the .warbling of music)
than in the hand, nothing is more
fit for that delight than to know
what be th* flowers and plants that
do best perfume the air.' We, of
moderu times are more apt to think
of what flowers will best grow in
the house, what will last longest
worn for the corsage, what will
best ornament our dinner tables
and Sv on."
"Our early New England poet,
Lowell, too, loved flowers as they
grew naturally and humbly. 'Dear
common flower,' he said, 'that
grow'st beside the way, fringing the
dusty road with harmless gold.' Not
blossoming to be bought with gold
or to enrich the grower, but of Its
'*n free will giving good gifts to
evory weary traveler.
"I think perhaps there were more
flower lovers in the world before
we had conservatories and hothous
es. and yet we Imagine that our ef
fort to grow more flowers, to grow
thhm more elaborately and eccen
trically proves us to be artists full
o» love of th®"6eautlful. But these
poets who really see straight, who
know Nature, who are inspired by
her, do not write of floral exhibi
tions; or prize chrysanthemum shows
or the height and depth of con
servatories; rather they, as did
Soenser of old, tell you of 'rosea
'ed and violets blew and all the
sweetest flowers that in the forrest
grew." C. S. Monitor from "The
Craftsman."
The fact that several towns In
Southeastern Alaska, .as a result of
the wet and dry election on Mon
day, of last week, retained their sa
loons by very aarorw margins shoul
serve as a warning to liquor deal
ers that they must walk the straigh
and narrow path in future if they
are to be permitted to continue in
the business. In the majority of
cases the unpopularity of the li
quor traffic has been brought about
by the saloon men themselves
who have violated the law re
peatedly, by selling to drunken men
as long as the latter were able to
pay for their drinks, permitted
brawls in their places of .business
and permitting fallen women to fre
quent their resorts. Strict regula
tion and observation of the law by
saloon men will do more to retain
the business than any other mea
sures. Otherwise, it will be classed
as undersrrable and will be voted
out of existence by .the masses.—
