PILOT CLARENCE NICHOLS.

liAHNAMN6V 80
Eliot GlnfREce Nichols has had
fame thrust upon him. His handling
OF the steamer Fred Hartweg in the
presidential procession from Cairo 10
Memphis. and the comment and pro-
ceedings which II evoked make a
chapter without which the story OF
the historical trip can never be com.
plete, and it threatens to overshadow.
In manner. all other incidents of the
trim barring the land receptions OF
the president Under the heading
"The Hartweg Case the St. Louis
Republic OF yesterday comments
editorially as follows:
1The Republic is told that President
Roosevelt is the victim of unwar-
Ianted criticism because Of his part
in the punishment of the pilot of the
Fred HartBeg.s He had regular trial
and was found guilty save the mark
according to due process of law,
VIC are told
Due process of law indeed! Per
haps it was Dire process of law for the
President To Instruct the Supervising
Inspector that the pilot was guilty
and direct the measure of his punish
mont. Things have come to a pretty
pass II that is to be accepted as due
process of law.
No one questions that this pilot
merited punishment. Not word OF
~. har hoo 90
President Roosevelt had directed in
qriry into the facts and expressed a
desire that the guilty pilot be punished
as tho circumstances warranted. OBJ
je ~''op does stir however. that any
official. high or low, should assume to
PASS Judgment in advance of trial,
leaving the trial mere mockery and
pietense.
IN matters not how guilty the eul-
prit his day in court should mean a
trial according to due process of law,
and that means his case is not to be
or prejudiced before the
bearing of the testimony. Nor has
the German doctrine of lese majestic
any place in our system of iuris |
prudence TO make endangering the
life of the highest public official In |
the land any graver offense than the |
same act would constitute in the case
o. the most obscure private individual. |
This is a trivial matter from one |
for the pilot very likely |
got only what he fully deserved. We
need not complain that the trial 80 |
called brought this pilot six months
instead of three But all
this is beside the case. II is not the
but the manner of the punish
ment public sentiment has protested
against. II was not an American
way OF doing things. and the Ameri-

Poor Crops in South West.

Rock Hill Herald Mr.. Jordan
Strait, son of Mrs. NJ. A. Strait.
living few miles south west of
the city, returned home last week
from Arkansas, where he has
been for several years. Mr.. Strait
has also travelled through por.
tons of Texas and several other
western states this year and he
reports that the crops in Arkan
sas and all along the Mississippi
and Arkansas rivers are very poor
indeed and that numbers of far
mers have practically abandoned
their crops and are seeking em-
ployment on public works. It
rained so much in the Sprine
that the farmers were very late
planting and on account of bad
stands there was much replanting
to do. The rams continued and
crops were not worked ont as
they are here and are unusually
small for the time of the wear.
Mr.. Strait likes the West all
right but has decided that he will
make his home in South Carolina
again.

"The Richmond Government
was charged with indifference 10
the situation beyond the Missis-

the lack of unity among the lead

THE soMERsAULT CAR.
Automobile That Turns Completely
Over In Midair.

Whatever may be thought of the
American somersaulting motor car as
a public performance, 1t is certainly a
triumph of scientific mechanics. The
car, moving down a Steeply inclined
track, attains n velocity of twenty
eight miles an hour. Leaving the track
at the base of the incline, 1t is shot into
the air n turns a complete somer-
sault before reaching a platform some
feet off. The arrangements by which
this remarkable feat is achieved are
notable for their simplicity. The
necessary gyrating impulse is given to
the car as it reaches the base of the
incline by the arrangement of the
guiding rails in relation to the track
itself. On the incline, which starts at
a height of fifty feet from the ground,
are a pair of broad tracks for the
wheels of the car, and between these a
pair of guide rails. The car is Kept to
these rails by four ball bearing rollers,
two in front and two behind. The
former press the sides of the rails,
while the latter run III grooves on the
tops of the same. This engagement,
combined with the ~, ID sa-l turn
of the rails at the baae o. the incline.
gives the car the necessary twisting
impulse just as it leaps into the air,
for the front wheels of the car remain
on the track, while the hind ones are
tilted VI by the back rollers, which
run o n the top of the rails. AS the
center of gravity of the car describes
q parabola in the mir the car itself
turns d SLOW sonlersault, moving
through 30 degrees for every two feet
horizontal advance. Having turned
completely rouEd. it Will have thus adj
vanced nine feet, and a eollapsible
platform is placed at this distance to
receive it. The car lands on tlis in a
horizontal position, the force of the
impact being taken up by the springs,
and runs Of it for so.le thirty or fo.ty
feet. The success of the affair con
sists in the careful adjustment of the
pitch of the rails in relation to that of
the track. The car must land on the
platform all four wheels at once; other
wise, as has beer shown by actual oc.
currence, the wheels first touching will
be crushed and the car damaged

Horses.

A shrewd trainer once remarked that
he had often seen a $4,000 horse in
trusted to a groom whom the owne of
the horse would not have trusted with
a ten dollar bill, says the Boston Tran-
script. Draft horses are now very
costly. a good pair costing from $500
to $500 and even more, according to
their weight, beauty and so forth, and
yet we often see them driven by q
man who. 10 not fit to handle a mule.
"A school for driving has lately been
started in Paris, especially for the ben,
eft Of cab drivers, and In Chicago d
firm using some hundreds Of horses is
giving a series of lectures or instruc-
tons to its teamsters. The truckmen
and contractors Of Boston would find
It to their advantage to adopt some
similar plan. Even the c~arelessness
about blanketing horses in the street IL
probably due as much to Ignorance
and thoughtlessness, as to downright
indifference.
