"HE average reader will be sur
prised TO know that more pat
ents have been issued up
on inventions relating to transpor-
tation than upon any other line
of human activity. They range all
the way from a little device for I'M
hitching a runaway horse from a
wagon, to the latest idea in flying
machines. The worlds first problems
of transportation were solved before
the American inventor came upon the
scene; but he has contributed SO much
to the solution of the later problems
that his name is connected Intimately
with its history.
Sir Isaac Newton, so great of mind
that he solved some of the most iu-
tricate problems of the universe, YET
so absent minded that when expert
menting with the boiling of an egg
he put his watch into the water and
held the egg in his hand, has his
name connected with the earliest and
the latest efforts at transportation
by artificial means. At one time he
believed that the reacting power CT
escaping steam would drive a vehicle
At another time he worked out, to his
complete satisfaction, a law of air
resistance to moving bodies. For gen.

scientists had stopped to calculate the
speed of the swallow, they would have
found that according to the New
tonian law, a fast flying swallow
would need the strength of a human
being to make such speed in the air.

1t remained for an American gen
Jus to discover the falsity of the
Newtonian law, and after he succeed
ed in dispraving it under actual ex-
periments, it was only a question Of
time until the heavier-than-ai fly
ing machine should become a real
lied dream. That man was the late
professor Langley. He determined to
find out by actual experiment how
much horsepower was needed to sus-
tain a surface of given weight by
means of IT'S motion through the air.
TIC do this he erected a huge whirling
table in the open air at Allegheny,
Pennsylvania, driven by a steam en-
CINE. The outer end of its revolving

travel as fast as 20 miles an hour. At
the end of this arm was placed the
apparatus to be tested, including
surfaces deposed like wings. 1t
soon was discovered that the faster
thing travelled the less weight was
required to sustain it. brass plate

to weigh only an ounce when carried

Portland, Me-, Jan. 6-The renomina-
ton of Robert T. Whitehouse for United
States district attorney was made today.
This denomination was made necessary
by the withdrawal a few days since of
the first nomination. 1t is learned from
Washington that his withdrawal was
made through a misunderstanding upon
the part of the attorney general. Some
supposed that it was made at the instance
of Senator Hale. To the contrary the SEN
ator knew nothing Of it until it was done
and then objected to it. Both Of our SEN
ators have been in accord upon the point
that Mr.. Whitehouse should have Sec
ond term.
Pending the denomination made with
the approval Of both senator's, Mr.. White
house has kept on in the even tenor OF
of his way confident that the Maine SEN

Sec. of State Wilson.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Senator Per-
kins of California slipped on the icy
sidewalk Thursday morning In front
of his hotel and it is believed severe-
ly injured his spine. He was carried

medical attention. Senator Perkins
struck the ground with terrific force

Dr. C. Lloyd Magruder was summoned

a severe wrench Of the spine, in addi-
ton to painful bruises. Senator Per-
kins had not enjoyed the best OF
health for sometime and his physician
did not feel justified in stating how
soon he would recover.
Huntington Wilson, assistant secre.
tary of state, fell upon the Icy pave
ment as he stepped from his automo-
bile last night and cut his face 80
badly that he was taken to his homo

Insurgents Are
Not Intimidated.

Washington, Jan. 6.-"The insurgent Re
publcans of the House are not intimi-
dated by the action of the administration
in Withholding patronage from them and
are not scared into silence by any appar-
ent combination of President Taft and
Speaker Cannon" This was the declara-
ton of Representative Norris of Nebras-
ka, one of the leading insurgents" of the
House. Mr. Norris resented stories APP
pearing in one or two Washington and
New York newspapers today to the effect
that the insurgents We're Lying down
owing to the attitude of the administra-
ton On the contrary, Mr. Norris criti-
cized President Taft himself and the ad-
ministraton for singing out 'insursent
representatives for punishment.
president Taft is making a grave mis-
take by aiding Cannon in this way and l
want to say so unhesitatingly,' continued
Mr.. Norris 81 do not object nor do any
Of the, "insurgents' object, as far as
know, to the Withholding patronage from
us But / denounce this singing out OF
the men who have opposed Cannon ana
the House organization for an intliction
of punishment.
'.How can the President say that we
are opposed to his policies and declare
that we are to be punished for it when
we have not opposed his policies in any
way? We do not, in fact, know yet what
President Taft's policies are to be. We
have not even received his messages upon
several important subjects, still we have
been punished. Postmaster General Hitch
cock has admitted that we are being dis
eliminated against right now, although
we have done absolutely nothing to merit
it excepting to oppose. Cannon and the
House machine.
'"The President is aiding Cannon. There
is no other construction that can be plac-
ed upon this move of the administration
Il want to say that this effort to defeat
US by starting fights against us at home
is open to very vigorous criticism. l have
no objection to Speaker Cannon or any
of his supporters coming to Nebraska
and making any kind of a fight upon me
they wish to make but do deny that th5
Republican Congressional committee has
any honorable right to attack me. 1t is
unjust and unfair.
THE fight of the insurgents in the
House will continue against Speaker Can
non and the House rules which he per
sonifies. We will not, however, oppose
any policy of the President as long as il

THE PENSION QUESTION
Brought Home to Civil War Senators
BY Senator Scott.

Washington, Jan. 6.-While resolu-
tons for the purpose of obtaining in
formation concerning high prices of
food products were being placed be-
fore the Senate yesterday, Senator
Scott said he wanted to ascertain the
number of soldiers of the Civil War
who We're deprived of an opportunity
to be placed upon the pension rolls so
that they might get money to buy this
food with. He said he wanted to know
how many of these veterans were des-
titute.
Sixteen senators were In the great
war; said Mr.. Scott. Seven were Con-
federates and nine were in the Union
army. Younger men now coming into
the Senate, l fear, will not be inter-
ested in the old soldiers and / want
to see what can be done to help them
while We older senators are still here"
Mr.. Scott introduced a resolution in
curing of the secretary Of war how
many veterans are still unpensioned.
The resolutions were referred to the
committee on military affairs.
