In the Public Eye

1t is a striking index of the
part the State University is
playing in the development of
Missouri that the long list Of can
didates for nomination to Office at
the August primaries on both
Republican and Democratic tick
etI, contains the names of many
wh) secured their education in
this greatest of public schools.
Former Congressman Cowherd of
Kansas City was five years a
Missouri student. This was dur
ing the administration of Govern
or Crittenden. Mr.. Cowherd and
Governor Crittepden's son were
college chums and frequently dur
iny his school career the present
aspirant for gubernatorial honors
was a visitor in the Executive
Mansion at Jefferson City. Mr..
Cowherd graduated twenty-six
years ego. Senator Ben M. An
derson candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Lieutenant
Governor was a student in the
seventies. Evidently he recalled
in after life the effort he made for
an education while at school, for
it was he who, while a member of
the Upper House of the Missouri
Legislature introd uced and secur-
ed the passage of a bill providing
for free tuition at the State Uni
versity. Nothing has done so
much to open the door of oppor-
tunity to the poor boys and girls
OF Missouri as the passage Of that
bill. Since it became a law the
Univer sity enrolment has in
crea sed from less than 1000 to
more than $500. Both of the
Democratic candidates for the
Supre me bench, Judge w. W..
Graves and Judge Nat M. Shelton,
are also former students. Each of
the two candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for the Office
of Att orney- General, N. T. Gentry
of Columbia and Frank B. Fulker-
son of st. Joseph is a University
graduate. Hon Jacob F. Gmelick,
Republican candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor is a former Curator.
The present Lieutenant Governor,
Ho n. John G. Mckinley, Repub-
lican candidate for United States
Senator graduated in 1886. SEN
ator VIM. j. Stone was a student

PEELED him to give up his studies

him that he frequently took large

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., SEPT. 10, 1908
MR.. EDITOR:
The disaster to the air ship of Orville
Wright in which the inventor was bad
" wounded and his companion killed Is
felt keenly in Washington where the ex-
peri,uents were being made. The offic-
isl test was to have been made this week
and Mr.. Wright and the officials Of the
war department as we'll as the crowds
who have daily attended the trial
flights we're confident that the aeroplane
would easily pass all of the tests. 1t
lies now in the shed where it had been
kept, mass of broken wires, splintered
wood and torn muslin. Lieutenant
selfridgs who accompanied Mr.. Wright
is dead and Mr.. Wright, with broken
leg. several broken ribs and many
bruises, is lying in the Amy hospital at
Fort Myer in the suburbs of the city.
still unaware that his companion in the
fight was killed. Of course, every one
has reason why the propeller should
have broken and why the machine
should have fallen but it takes little
technical knowledge to sec that when
flying machine gets anything wrong
with it's machinery while in air it has
but one thing to do and that is to obey
the laws of gravity and reach the earth
by the shortest line. When an automo-
bile stalls on hill it may be annoying
but it is not dangerous. When a flying
mechanism fails it is not only dangerous
but probably fatal.
This fact postpones by many years
the time when flying machines will be
useful either for war or transportation
and before that time it will doubtless
demand heavier vital toll than those
who have already fallen victims to the
experiments. Lieutenant Selfridge was
q clever, promising, young man of TWEEN
ty-six. He had for several years taken
the keenest interest in all air ships and
had made many ascensions. He was
also the inventor of some of the parts
of tho Baldwin dirigible balloon and
WAS fearless in experimenting with
them. His death, happily, was painless
as he never regained consciousness af-
ter striking the ground.
The converting in Washington of
three important Congresses almost
simultaneously will insugurste ''small"
| social season. A reception at the
White House for the delegates of two
conventions. reception by the secre-
tary of State, another by Secretary
| Straus and a private view in the even
ing Of the pictures in the Corcoran art
gallery will be the most important OF
the unusual features of the early autumn
weeks. As consequence many promi
nent people are hurrying home and
among the distinguished ones arriving
today are Postmaster General Meyer
Belgian Minister, and the family Of
Senator Elkins. Miss Katharine Elkins
who is supposed to be engaged to thu
Duke of Abruzzi has been much feteG
