TRIUMPH OF THE WRIGHTs.

Notwithstanding some little ad-
verse criticism has cropped out in
certain quarters about Orville and
Wilbur Wright, their triumph has
been complete 1t has, also, been
wonderful They have clearly dem
onstrated that man can fly, and fly
1ike the dickens at that. At times
during the trials at Fort Meyer the
brothers Wright have been bit
touchy, but principally over the en-
croaching crowds led there by over
weening interest to say nothing OF
curiosity. These men of genius had
their own lives at stake, besides a
great principle in aviation to estab-
lish. 1t required the solution of many
perplexing problems. In all of their
earlier experiments around Dayton
secrecy was most aimed at, and when
the invention was finally perfected
caution was the next desideratum.
This they have displayed in no objec-
tionable form. 1t was to this great
and painstaking care that the demon
STATIONS around Washington were
successful, and all honor be theirs.
Lieut.. FouIois must have experienced
tremendous sensation and many
thrills of excitement on that first

achieved. Fame has crowned them,

and summer vacations. 1t was built
for the purpose of providing New
York males an instrument with which
to undermine and destroy American
chivalry and its wonderful success in
this direction has been marked by
the entire country. The cars are
composed of two facing rows OF
seated trOuSers-wearers completely
concealed by newspaper, and dOu-
bic row OF women suspended from
straps: This arrangement is known
as the Subway Sandwich At the end
of each car is a uniformed alien whose
only English Cd IS, Let EN- of,

pletives used principally as nantes

more Scotch than American, and
doubtless this is where it came from.
1t sounds very Scotchy and the au-
thority in question gives the pronun-
citation as bladh-er-skait, which would
about fill the mouth of a rhymthmic
Scott who wanted to call the other
fellow something he would be
ashamed of and wouldn't want to
hear. To be called a blatherskite IN
Scotland might mean fight; in the
United States it might have no effect.
The blatherskite, according to the
Standards definition is noun, gen
orally masculine in gender, and means
that the possessor of the title IS
'wordy, noisy fellow given to blus-
tering talk" He is the equivalent OF
the dealer in balderdash or harangue.
In this country to be called a blath-
erskite is a term of the severest re-
proach. OF course, no man who
thought much of himself would apply
the TERM 10 dIlOLHCI WILllOhL p CfC~"s
ton, and unless he believed it to be
true. But the truth is most communi-
ties have this fellow in their midst,
and it is we'll to steer clear OF
him. The blatherskite is generally
the cause of his own undoing because
his ilk is of the demagogue stripe,
and the demagogue is never liked,
though the world has produced many
demagogues who left name and fame
behind them. In our day we have
BRYAN the demagogue, but whose
enemies allow is a sincere citizen.
Perhaps Mr. Bryan is not dema-
pogue in the sense that the ancients
classed Demosthenes and Cicero.
Dossuet, the French pulpit orator OF
the Seventeenth Century was the first
to essay the calling OF men by the
title demagogue, and the public was
loath TO accept his ideas, which proves
that when a man is right in sizing up
the manner of other men, time will
prove his basis of truth.

THE BLATHERSKITE.

FARGO COLLEGE VS..
WAHPETON SCIENCE
PREACHERS CONFIDENT or VIC
ToRY-PoLLocK AND BEARD TO
PLAY-FARGo COLLEGE BOYS IN
TRIM FOR THE A. C. BOYS AT
LATER DATE.

Tomorrow occurs the big game be-
tween the preachers and the "scien-
lists" from Wahpeton. without doubt
this will be one of the fastest games
OF the season. Wahpeton is out for
the state championship, but the boys
on the hin have been preparing for
them in a week of hard scrimmage
practice. Coach Watkins got a line
on their forward passes last Saturday
when they trimmed the farmers eleven
and the practice this week has been
devoted to the breaking up of these
plays. 1t is possible the old stars.
Chas. Pollock and Ralph Beard may
play for a short time, although the
coach intends to save them for the
coming city championship game with
the farmer boys.
The men injured in practice last
week are on the road to recovery and
although several positions will be
weakened Saturday, the full strength
may be expected in the A. c. game.
The preachers coach has every re-
spect for the ability OF Coach Reuber
of the A. G. to put out team that will
make him hustle, and he is making
every possible effort to put on the
field team well versed in the new
style of football.
The past week on the hill has been
devoted to the secondary defense, in
dividual instruction, and nightly chalk
talks. The Wahpeton boys are a
husky bunch and play the game every
minute. They are very proficient in
the forward pass, but the preachers
are confident of their ability to break
these UP, and besides this they will
have an abundance of fancy plays
themselves that will make the visitors
hustle some. The Fargo college band
will be out in full force to inspire the
gridiron warriors to victory.
The following candidates will be on
the field, although Coach Watkins will
not name the, members Of the team
until the A. c. game:
Left End-Trost, Musberger or Torson.
Left Tackle-R. Beard or Vande Bo-
CART
Left Guard-Dean or vande Bogart
Center-Horner or Macnamara.
Right Guard-Macnamara or Nelson.
Right Tackle-Perry.
Right End-Charles Pollock or Mon
son or HI. Pollock.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Or Haggart
Left Half-McDonald.
Right Half-Callander.
Fullback-Bayard, Captain.
The game will be called at 3:45 and
will be played onfthe new r.. C. grid
iron, at the foot of the hill.
The hour at which it starts will give
the fans an opportunity to see the
high school game, then take in the r.
c. Wahpeton contest.

Stone SLABS
NEGRO CABMAN'S FACE
OBJECTS TO FARE CHARGED, BUT
FINALLY PAYS BILL WHEN
COPPER is CALLED.

St Louis, Oct. 22.-U. s. Sen.
William j. Stone last night slapped
a negro cabman in the union station
because he demanded 81 fare He
only paid the bill when the cab driver
got possession OF his grip and after
Patrolman Coates, of the station
squad, said 81 was not exoroitant
"To charge me 81 for this ride is
outrageous" shouted the Missouri
statesman as he alighted from the
cab.
Cant help it boss" replied cabby
as he followed the statesman into the
station.
The cabman got possession OF the
senator's grip from boy who was
carrying it The senator's hands were
waving when Patrolman Coates APP
peared.
We'll settle this matter now" sail
Stone. Has this man a right to
charge me 81 for short ride under
his schedule?"
HE can charge 81 for distance
under a MILE" said Coates, as broad
smile broke over the Negroes face and
he frightened his grip on the senator's
baggage.
What's your manner" said Stone to
Coates.
The patrolman answered.
Il intend to see about this" were
Stones parting words. as he handed
over a dollar and vanished through
the gate to Jefferson city train.
Not long ago Senator stone slapped
a negro waiter in a dining car while
going from washington to Pfliladel-
phia. He was arrested, but Judge
held that the slapping was all right
and discharged the senator.
