Pittsburg June 7.-Dr. Robert J. Black,

that even if it is finally shown that John

Territory Is Disputed.
He says the disputed territory, which
is south of the Youghiogheny River. in
Allegheny County. is not entitled 10 Con-
gressionaI representation; that DalzelI
carried this territory, according TO the
unofficial returns, by plurality Of $40.
He also states that Dalzelrs plurality

only 21S. By wiping out the disputed ter
ritory Black claims a plurality of go.
The controversy is the result of an act

THE MILITARY SQUARE.
A Form ,tion Borrowed by Wallace
 From the -Ieminqs

The greatest of all Scottish anniver. saries is that of Bannuck burn fought In the year 1874. Apart from its bear. ing on the independence of Scotland, the battle will always have an excep. tional interest from the military point of view. as Bannock burn may be said to have been the birthplace of the British square. Proud Edwards army mainly consisted of cavalry. while that of the Scots, on the other hand, was almost exclusively composed of foot folk armed with the spear. and these Bruce threw into ''schil- troms." or oblong squares. a formation borrowed by Wallace from the Elem ings. who had employed it with sue cess at Courtray to resist the charge of the English cavalry.
 Hitherto the mounted mail clad knight had carried everything before him. but Courtray and Bannockburn proved that he was powerless to break resolute spear armed infantry drawn up in "schltrom." or hedgehog. forma- lion, and these two battles revolution lzed the tactics of the continent and of our own island. Profting by the lesson which had been taught them at Bannockhurn. the English applied the tactics of the Scots with brilliant success at Crecy and still more at Agincourt. As it was the Scots who may be said 10 have originated the British square at Bannockburn. so it H:.S hey again who at Raaklava were 70 tirs. to discard if with their thin ed line" and TOW owing to our .'orca a'i conditions of warfare. it is .. ar,.G ltogether.-I.ondoa Chron

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
FOR RAILROAD COMMISSIONER.

To the Voters of the Southern Dis

 I hereby announce myself as can- didate for Railroad Commissioner tion of the Democratic primaries of March 30, 1910.
 For four years past I have been Secretary of the Pine Bluff Board of Trade, and have been more or less in- timately connected with many efforts to promote the prosperity of the whole state, especially along economic and traffic lines.

 believe my previous training, re- cord and experience qualify me to serve as Railroad Commissioner in an intelligent, broadminded and fair minded way.
 My candidacy has the unanimous endorsement of the jobbers and ship pers' convention, called by Fort Smith without my previous knowledge, and held at Little Rock on February p 1910.
 If elected, my motto will be: "A square deal for all.''
 If you do not know better man offering for the office, I will sincere ly appreciate your support.

The Friends We Leave Behind.

/ find the one great thing in this
world is not so much where we stand
as in what direction we are moving.
To reach the port of heaven we must
sail sometimes with the wind and
sometimes against it, but we must
sail and not drift, nor lie at anchor.
There is one very sad thing in old
friendships, to every mind which is
really moving onward. 1t is this:
That one cannot help using his early
friends as the seaman uses the log, to
mark his progress. Every now and
then we throw an old schoolmate over
the stern with a string of thoughts
tied to him and look-I am afraid,
with a kind of luxurious and sancti
monious compassionate see the rate
at which the string reels off, while
he lies there bobbing up and down,
poor fellow! and we are dashing
along with the white foam and bright
sparkle at our bows-the ruffled
bosom of prosperity and progress,
with sprig of diamonds stuck in it!

is the greatest wonder of the century Yet the
airman is impatient and his cry is for great
er speed In speed he sees the solution of his
greatest problems. Gradually it has dawned upon
him that the air is the ideal element for high
speed traffic-that through the air, before very
long, speeds will be attained which are DOS.
slble with vehicles on land ships on the sea.
10 the makers of engines the airmap says, "Give
me more power which spells speed" To the build
ers of aeroplanes he cries, Construct me planes
capable of the maximum of speed"
And the speed of aeroplanes has been creeping
up. At first 1t 35 miles an hour. Then came
40. Soon this was left behind Round prepared
aerodromes pace of As and so miles an hour was
attained. Nor did the seeking of speed end here.
With racing monopanes rate of 55 and 60 miles
an hour possible. Not satisfied with this,
pilots have added mile by mile, until the latest
record is 66 miles an hour.
In response to an inquiry along this line an
pert recently said Personally believe that this
is only the beginning of the speeds that aero
planes will be able to attain. Some dis
cussing this vitally interesting aspect of airman-
ship with me only the other day. He asked the
question. AT what rate will aeroplanes be flying
through the air in comparatively short space Of
timer My answer was, In six months fully ex-
pect that monoplane will be registering speeds
OF 100 miles an hour. Friends of mine who are
experts upon the scientific aspects of airmanship
predict that eventually speeds of 200 and 300

The aeroplane engine is the crux Of the situa-

Ing quite extraordinary strides. AS wellknown
maker remarked to me the other day, Each motor
which we turn out nowadays marks step up

are not only being made more reliable, but they
also weigh less than they did at first for each
horsepower Of energy produced.
