l have this day declined the
primary nomination which bg
your votes was rendered me on

few words of explanation may be

DO my part in the election of the
candidates of that party. The

given me against my repeated

FATAL ACCIDENT.
George Spencer, Jr., Losses Life
In Auto Accident.

An accident Of the mo- dis,
treSSSing nature and attended witt
fatal results, occurred at the fall
grounds in this city on Saturday
afternoon last during the autOmO-
bile races, in which George Spen-
Ger lost his life and his cOmpan-
ION in the car received some bad
injuries. 1t occurred in the race
for cars costing under $500, in
a distance of five miles. Spencer
was driving a REQ a." the 9th
er cars in the race being a Ford
and Buick. The race had only
been hardly started. The cars
were going around the lower turn
on their third lap. In the start
ing Of the race Spencer's car did
not get away on the dot like the
others, probably because it was a
heavier one. As a result he was
3 couple off lengths behind. He
gradually gained this distance,
however, although he had only
about a third of his speed on. As
they came down the stretch on the
second lap they were all about
punched. Going around the low
er turn, as the cars were almost
around, his car was seen to skid
suddenly, then leap into the air,
turn completely over, and then
roll over on its side. 1t seems a
tire blew out on the right hind
wheel which threw the car up,
and when it came down the wheel
from which the tire was gone
broke, letting that end down on
the hub, which caused the car
to skid until it had almost COM
pletely turned around, then it
leaped up in front, turned COM
pletely over and landed on its
side. Grubb, who was sitting on
the outside, was thrown some thir,
ty-five feet, landing on bis hands
and feet. He at once jumped up
and ran to Spencer, who was ly-
ing face down some three or four
feet from the car. He was picked
up and carried off the track and
at once taken home, where a has
ty examination was made. Al
though he seemed not to be hurt,

George was his mothers boy.
Always looking to her comfort,
to her welfare, always mindful of
his obligations to her who had
suffered for him. His first and
every thought was for her. 1t is
indeed a sad blow. The entire
community will miss his smiling
face, his cheerful disposition, his
desire to be of service to the
world, and to accomplish some
thing. We will all miss him, but
as the sOrrOwing relatives and
friends accompanied the body to
its last resting place, they fully
realized that it was not George
that they were laying away, but
only the house in which he lived
and dwelt among us. George had

The grain loss to Kansas farm

Going From Home for Study.

Going From Home for Study. L.
TO most young persons the ac-
QUESTION of full university ed
ucatiOn involves going away from
home. In considering this aspect,
of the case DR.. R. F. JudsOn, the
president of the Chicago Univer.
Slty, writes:
THE question whether it il
wise to continue ones education
at home or to carry it on else
where is always a very impOrs
tant one, and can. never be set,
tied on the ground of general
principles. 1t is often wise, l
think, for a young man to leave
home for these purposes, for a
variety of reasons. He meets new
conditions; he is thrown largely
on his own responsibility; he al
so learns to cope with circumstan.
ceS as they arise without relying
upon constant home support and
advice. This should develop man.
ly qualities and strengthen the
character. e
There is another side to the
picture. Away from home the
temptations are relatively great
er, and it is easy for a young
man whose character is not well.
formed to fall into habits which
are unfortunate, or worse. After
all, however, this is true of all
life throughout. One must learn
at an early age to discriminate
between the wise and the unwise,
the right and the wrong, the sane
and the silly. 1t is only by this
experience, and often by the ex-
perlence of many blunders, that
one comes to real strength of char
acter.
There is another consideration
which often makes it wise for a
student to finish his school days
away from the home environment
By going to a distance, especial
ly by going to an institution, one
not altogether local, he is apt to
measure himself against others
from all parts of the country. He,
works under new surroundings;
he gets to be less provincial; he
S finds out that there are many
: things beyond his narrow home
, horizon. He gets to be more
broadly tolerant. Under all cir
; cumstanceS, however, the student
should carry with him from home
certain home ideals that ought
Is never to be lost. He is to remen
t Der that right and wrong are the
a same everywhere; that the clean
q and the unclean are the same ev-
erywhere; and that he cannot af-
J, ford, merely because he is away
Y from home restrictions and from

furnished him for an appeal to the inter
national federation. That offer seemed emf
DeLtly fair.
Mr.. Drexel apparently is not among
those who oppose Allan A. Ryan's cleo
tion as Mr.. Bishops successor. Probably
he won't vote as a member of the club
when time for the election is at hand,
but he wrote a friendly letter to Mr..
Ryan yesterday. Remarks by Mr. Ryan
later in the day did not contain friendly
references to Mr.. Drexel, whose letter
follows:
Ny Dear Mr.. Ryan-Before leaving to-
night for Baltimore | want to thank you
for all the trouble you took for the com
fort of myself and the other aviators at
the recent International aviation meet at
Belmont Park, and to say that we all
appreciate il very much.
L do not want you to think, in view of
my protest of October 81. 1870 against
certain rulings made by the Aero Club of
America, that am ungrateful of all you
did in our behalf at Belmont Park from
the time we arrived in New York but we
all feel that if YOU had been in control OF
the department of rulings, as you were of
the other departments Of the meet. there
would have been no occasion for protests
of any kind. Faithfully yours.
j. A. DREXEL.
The opposition TO Mr.. Ryan, which de-
veloped as soon as the official nomina-
tions were announced early last week,
took definite form yesterday.
Clifford B. Harmon said in the after
noon he contemplated the organization
Of rival body, which would take from
the Aero Club OF America the control of
aviation in this country. This, he said,
would save the sport from commercial
ization, which. he said he thought was
to be feared should Mr. Ryan become
president of the club.
When Mr. Ryan heard what Mr. Har-
mon had had to say he was ready with
an answer. "It is pretty generally un-
derstood," he said, that Mr.. Harmon's
interest in aviation is commercial and
personal advertising-a desire to keep
himself constantly in the limelight.
Says Harmon Made Trouble.
1T is also well understood by those
connected with the International aviation
tournament that Mr. Harmon has been
