Missouri Governor Speaks at
Chautauqua Assembly
Honesty Best Politics.
HAS HIGH STANDARD.

CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, Aug. "a
Governor Joseph w. Folk of Missouri
spoke at Chautauqua assembly on
''The Reign of Law" Everywhere
there is an era for purer government
dawning, he said. Six thousand peo-
pie gave the noted Missouri reformer
the Chautauqua salute with sincerity.
Governor Folk SAT-. in part:
'The dollar now is not as potent as
1t has been and gold is not worshiped
with the devotion of Did. The richest
man in all the world is Il beggar for
sympathy. The ambition of young
men is becoming more and more not
so much as to get rich as to get right
and stay right.
political parties are beginning to
learn that honesty is not only the best
policy, but the best politics. | shall
try to see to it that my party is never
q cloak for villainy. The people are
beginning to realize that n rascal is Il
rascal if he calls himself Republican
or Democrat. Political parties must
be the servants of the people and not
their masters. Patriotism is always
better than ~partisanship. 1t does not
make so much difference if New York
goes Republican or Democratic so long
as it goes honest.
''There are many forms of graft that
remain to be checked. When any one
obtains a monopoly on some necessity
of life and EFFORTS more than the nat
ural price, that is graft. The remedy
for corruption and bribery is to en-
force the laws against those classes
which are now illegal and make lille
gal those that are within the law.
"No state can be injured by the en-
forcement of law. In the last three
and a half years of the reign Of law
in Missouri immigration to the state
has increased % per cent more than il
any year of it's history. Real estate
has increased in value % per cent

shops were closed in Missouri there
were those who said the grass would
grow in the streets of the cities. Kan

ception and later took a sail on the
lake. He then left for st. Louis.

a
sinbad,s Alleged ProtOtype.

S1nbadfS AlleBeu 1AotoeyP"
The story of Sinbad the Sailor is pe,
lieyed to owe a good deal to the legehu
of st. Brendan, the Kerry saint whose
day is May is. According to the
legend. st. Brendan sailed the ocean
for seven years in search of the island
that had once been Adams Eden.
Daring that time he regularly revis-
tied the Island of Sheep, where the
sheep are as large as oxen; the Island
of Birds, that are really fallen angels,
and another island which is really a
big fish named Jascon trying to get
his tail into his mouth. st. Brendan
used to encamp on the fish on Easter
Monday. He found the Eden island
at last, but 10 n has seen it since
though it appeared on seventeenW
century maps and in an eighteenth
century treaty between Spain and Por-
tugal. Probably Irish monks took this
with them to the east in the
ninth century.

KNABENSHUE
FLIES HIGH.
His Airship Again Scars Over
New York City Not
Around FIatirOn.
TO EXPECTATIONS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-From Cen
trail Park West to Madison square,
high above sky scraping Ia tells and of
flee buildings, sailed A.. Roy Knaben'
shue in his airship, going fully 1900
feet above the street level, and he
learned something more about the
wind around the Flatiron building than
is known by those who have met the
gusts at the street level, the strong cur
rents defying his efforts to circle the
tall building.
His ship moved without Il hitch and
apparently with rs much easeN as a
bird, responding to every movement OF
its operator. The propeller worked to
perfection, the rudder did its full duty.
and Knabenshue had the satisfaction
of successfully ~maneuvering his big
airship and of alighting where he
agreed after a spin through the air Of a
half hour.
He came down on the ball ground i'll
Central park i'll the midst of fully d.
600 people, who gave %deafening cheers.
Hats We're thrown in the air, and the
Brooklyn bridge crush seemed to have
moved uptown. So eager was the
crowd to get at the aeronaut that the
mounted police were unable to cut
their way through.
Knabenshue started directly east
with his ship from Sixty-second street
and Central Park West. There was q
favorable air current, the wind blow
ing at Il velocity of about eight miles.
Going as far south as Eighteenth
street and east beyond First avenue.
Knabenshue made the turn. In order
to do this, especially as he was going
against Il head wind of about twelve
miles, the gas valve was opened, and
the machine came down to about 1000
feet. In this altitude the turn was
made, and the gas valve was closed.
On the uptown trip the ship behaved
perfectly. Isaac Ludlow, who, with
DR.. julius Thomas, had been following
the flight of the ship in DR.. Thomas
sixty horsepower automobile, said that
he never saw Il machine behave better.
"Knabenshue had it under full con
troll all the time, and it responded per
fectly to every demand. ! congratulate
him on the success of the trip" said
Ludlow.
At Fiftieth street, as the ship was
over Third avenue and about Il thou
sand feet above the ground, Knaben-
shue again pulled the gas valve and
steered the ship due west.
When over Central park the aeronaut
again turned the ship and headed it
north. Meanwhile the gas was being
released, and the ship was gradually
nearing the ground. Knabenshue so
manipulated the valves, the propeller
and the rudder as to alight on the ball
ground of the park at SiXty-fourth
street, the ship practically falling into
the arms Of his employees, who had
followed its fight in an automobile.
The airship contained 5000 cubic
feet of gas. a thousand feet for every
seventy-siX pounds of weight which it
carried. After the ascent Mr.. Knaben-
shue said:
81 believe that the trip was a com
plete success. The ship acted perfectly.
1t was probably the best ascent ever
made. | have no special plans for the
future, except that | do not intend 10
make any more ships. | believe this
one will do the business. l will make
frequent ascents from time to time"
