The Conquest of the Air"

Following is the poem by Harold
Trowbridge Pulsifer, the Harvard
student which won the Lloyd Nc
Kim Garrison prize:
Morris tribune., 1910-08-26

Theodore Roosevelt is again in the political
game and on Tuesday in his speech at Utica,
New York, took occasion to endorse local pro-
gressive candidate there. The supposed breach
between Taft and Roosevelt seems to have no
existence except in the minds of the dOpesters,
but it is evident that Roosevelt will get into
the fight in New York state on the side of the
progressives. He will oppose certain old line
leaders now friendly to Taft, but that will
hardly cause a breach between himself and

THE TOLL OF PROGRESS.

There is something that stirs ones blood
in the battle that is now on for the conquest of
the air. And it is battle! Under the guise
of sport the race today is renewing the fight it
made thousands of years ago when the first
boats were launched and men steered for the
open sea. Today we walk the deck of Lusi-
tania only because the sea-lanes are white with
the bones of those who risked life for the pass
ing bauble of some unheard of achievement.
Who shall count the graves of those who have
died that might inherit the forest and
plain that lay to the four sides of Eden? Who
knows the number that perished in the con-
!quest of fire?
Sometimes it seems that the world grows
tame-that the big deeds are all done, the great
heroes all of yesterday. And then a man-bird
flashes across the sky, and a new realm, with
all it's wonder becomes ours We try to
picture the future, when the destinies of ma
tons shall rest with the "pilots of the purple
twilight foreseen by Tennyson. The jaded
pulses throb; we realize in a d-quickening
moment that there still remains new things to
dare and achieve.
Whether the airship actually becomes the
vital factor in life that enthusiasts claim for it,
matters little. Men fly And cost what it will
they will master the air, even as they have
mastered the sea and the land. Some day they
will ascribe value and high honor to him who
steps out into and higher moral fields.
Some day it will be counted as great an achieve
ment to have discovered new way of helping
ones fellow men, as it now is to ride the tricky
seas of the air.
All this growth of man, materially and
spiritually, costs. Men fly because other men
have died trying to do Men stand the
higher levels of moral achievement only be-
cause in all ages and times there have been
men who lived and died for Right. Progress
exaCts it's toll. It is paid without faltering and
with every life given for broader human know
ledge or higher ideals the race moves forward

FLEE FROM THE PLAGUE
Great Alarm Caused by Cholera
Outbreak in Italy.

Bari, Italy, Aug. 2O.-The epidemic
of cholera which has broken out in
Southern Italy is steadily showing an
increase in the districts affected, par
ticularly in the town of Trani, where
the number of deaths already is more
than thirty. The epidemic is of vio-
lent type and the death rate is high.
Even greater danger is anticipated
from the fleeing population of the in
fected districts, who may bear the
germs of the disease to regions not
yet involved. Trani seems almost de-
serted as a result of the panic, 10000
of the residents, fully half of the pop
ulation, having fed the town. Fully
as many have escaped from the island
town of Barletta.

We believe the farmers generally will re-
gret they have not provided local packing
houses where meats can be preserved From
present appearances live stock will have to be
sacrificed this year, with the resu1tant\fall in
prices. Within short time the price of live
stock and meats will be very high and the pre-
served meats will yield very large profits to the
packers This Capitalization of business is all
right when everything is running smoothly,
but when the machinery gets ont of time there
will be nothing for the producer and the con-
sumer will have hard time to get a bare liv-
ing. To ship wheat out and flour in, hogs out
and pork in, cream out and ice cream in, ETC.,
is convenient, but it is mighty poor business

VIGOROUS DEFENSE OF TAFT
John Hays Hammond Addresses Ohio
Political Club.

Cleveland, Aug. 21.-With the state
ment that President Taft was one of
the ablest and most sagacious of the
executives of the United States John
Hays Hammond made a vigorous de-
fense of the administration at the an
nual outing of the Cuyahoga County
League of Republican clubs.
Mr.. Hammond justified Mr.. Tafts
support of the Aldrich-Cannon section
of the party on the ground that if he
had plunged into a Republican civil
war his four-year term of Office would
have been barren of results and not
one of his campaign pledges could
have been carried out.

One Frank WV Waterman, of bank president
of St. Paul, was last week arrested for speeding
his automobile, and sentenced to thirty days in
the workhouse AS soon as he learned that he
could not get off by paying fine he began a
fight for his release. The board of pardons
was appealed to but refused to interfere; hab-
cas- corpus proceedings then brought in
district court, but the sentence upheld.
An application for bail pending appeal was de-
MED and this matter was also appealed. But
the supreme court made short work of the ap-
peal and it looks now as if Waterman would
have to serve out his time in the workhouse.
The outcome of this case should be source of
satisfaction to all law abiding citizens, for had
the original sentence been modified, it would
have looked as if there is one law for the poor
man and another for the rich man. Public
opinion is very much aroused against the reck-
less drivers of automobiles, and to have re-
leased Waterman after 50 much attention was

the Republican nomination for Judge of Prob

1902 to 1906 Mr. Bahe modestly says that in
seeking the office he does not "yeld to the de-

paigns, Mr.. Babe has received an almost unan-
imous endorsement in his home town of Han
cock and vicinity-which must be to him a
gratifying testimonial of his popularity there.

Victim of Hold-Up May Recover.

Easley, August 31.-News from T.
B. Higgins, who is in a sanitarium
in Greenville, is very favorable. 1t
is thought that he can be removed
to his home on Saturday.
It will be recalled that on last
Thursday night he was brutally at
tackled near Cornelia, Ca, and at first
it was thought he would not recover.
Mr.. Higgins was in Mount Airy and
had started to walk to Cornelia. a dis
tance of a mile and a half. Just be-
fore leaving he had collected some
money and had put some papers IN
his grip. which evidently was seen by
the negro that attacked him. AS ne
started on his way he was joined by
a negro who talked to him in very
polite way, stating that he had work
ed in Easley a short time ago. AS
they came into the edge OF Ccrnella
the negro drew a rocl: from his pock-
ct and struck Mr.. Higgins in the
head. They came together and
though he made a desperate effort
to free himself from the negro, when
it was over his skull was crushed, his
Jaw bone broken. his nose broken IN
two places, a rib, and one arm broE-

But with all this he never lost con-
sciousness and his cries to an Ole

assailant off. AS the negro ran he
carried the grip, thinking doubtless
that the money which had been col

GRANNY MILLS LOSE CASE.
Former Operative Given Damages of
$1,000 by Supreme Court.


Columbia, September 1.-When
the supreme court to-day affirmed the
decision of the Richland circuit court
Judge Memminger presiding, award
ing $1,000 damages to the plaintiff
in the case of Olin NJ. Rhodes, against
the CRANKY Cotton Mills. Of Columbia
it decided a matter of vital impor-
tance to industrial circles of this
State.
Lewis ". Parker, president of the
National Association of Cotton Manu-
facturers. is president of the defend
ant mills
In effect. the decision outlaws a
blacklist maintained by industrial en-
ployers against workers. Rhodes was
a loom fixer. He claims that as a
result of his activities in behalf OF
unionism at the time of the loom fix
ers' strike at CRANKY. the mill black
listed him and in consequence of its
action he has been unable to get en-
ployment in this State since.
The circuit jury gave Rhodes ST.
coo actual, and $4,000 punitive dam
ages. Judge Memminger reduced
punitive damages to $1,000, making
a total of $1,000. Under the SUI
preme court decision to-day this last
verdict stands, Justice Eugene Gary
wrote the opinion.

Meets Tragic Death.

Spartanburg, September 2.-Harry
Krimminger, lineman, met a tragic
death this afternoon at 2:30 O'Clock
while working on telephone post
in front of Aug. W. Smiths residence
on East Main street. His right arm
and side encountered the high ten
sion wires of the City Railway, Gas
G. Electric Co., and an alternating
current of 2.160 volts passed through
his body. Death was almost instan'
taneous.
Krimminger had on his safety bell
and also wore the lineman's spurs
and was fastened to his fatal perez
long after the current did its work
1t is thought that he slipped on nj:
spurs and to prevent falling or t(
keep himself balanced threw out hi:
arm and it encountered the high ten
sion wires of the lighting company.
The current that went through
Krimminger's body left it's death
dealing marks, one on his right arm
lust above the wrist and another OF
his right side. The flesh otherwls'
was not discolored and there were NJ
other bruises or marks.

COST $17 TO SPANK WIFE.
AT Some Rate Husband Could Have
Enjoyed Motor Ride.

Andrew Miller could have hired an
automobile and had several hours of
JOY riding yesterday for what it cost
him to spank his wife The fact that
it did not cost Miller more than it
did was because he had only SIT. In
cidentally, the wife got the money.
Miller paid it over by order of the
court, Magistrate House thereby es-
tablishing a legal rate for spanking.
There are probably many wives
willing to permit their husbands to
spank themselves into bankruptcy or
the poorhouse at SIT a spank; but
the rate is an elastic one, and the
court, having a monopoly with which
the interstate commerce commission
cannot interfere. is likely to make the
price all the traffic will bear.
The Millers live at 40S east Sixty
fourth street. Mrs. Miller told the
magistrate yesterday that she had
her husbands supper all ready for
him and it was piping hot. The steak
was done just right, the French fried
potatoes were crisp and hot, the corn
was hot; in fact, the meal was about
that a man would expect if he had
hired a chef instead of marrying a
girl who made no claims except that
she was good two-handed cook.
AS the hour grew apace Miller
failed to put in an appearance. The
steak that was once juicy turned up
at the edges and warped in the mid
die and grew as cold and unhappy in
appearance as a base ball fan when
the home team loses a game.
Mrs. Miller waited long and pa
tiently, and then went forth in search
of the man of her choice. She says
she found him talking politics, flying
machines and woman suffrage at a
neighboring "gin mill" He came
home with her and then decided he
would eat. Mrs. Miller offered to
warm up the supper, but Miller, she
says, reprimanded her for daring to
permit his meal to get cold.
eff you can't keep meal warm for
: man, IL warm you," he is reported
to have said, and then to have laid
Mrs. Miller over his lap and applied
the spanking.
When arraigned Magistrate House
heard the case and then decided to
fine Miller all he had in favor of the
wife.
"How much money has he?" ask
ed the court.
Seventeen dollars" replied the
clerk.
"Give it to the wife," said the
court. Then, turning to Miller, he
told him he would suspend sentence
on him, but that he was not to spank
Mrs. Miller any more.
"Now, don't you give him one cent
of that money" said the magistrate to
the wife.
"Car fare?" asked Miller.
"Give him elevated railroad
tickets" said a court officer as he
opened the gate for the pair to pass
out.-New York American.
