Morris tribune., 1911-01-06

Hardly an aviation meet is held
anywhere these days but it demands
its toll of human lives and most of
the sacrifice is needless. Aviation has
already taken a number of brilliant
men who gave their lifes to develop
ing the science and their deaths while
lamentabIe are the price the human
race must pay for progress. But the
great number of deaths this year has
been due to putting the flying ma
chimes into the hands of performers
who did dangerous stunts to amuse
the crowd. The American people
should out row the morbid desire to
see man risk his life.

Occurs at New Orleans.
HIS MACHINE TURNS TURTLE

Los Angeles, Cal, Dec. 31.-Arch
Hoxsey of Pasadena, Cal, king Of the
air, met a terrible death here. While
attempting to make his famous spiral
dip and at height of 300 feet his
machine turned turtle and dashed to
the ground, burying the daring aviator
beneath it. Death was instantaneous.
Hoxsey at the time of his death had
been in the air more than two hours,
trying for the Michelin prize for en-
durance, flying sometimes at height
estimated at $500 feet.
After his astounding evolutions in
the air Hoxsey started to descend.
Twice on the downward trip he exc
cuted his spiral dip-the one that led
to the death of Ralph Johnstone in
Denver only short time ago. The
third time the boy aviator attempted it
he went over. A gust of wind caught
the fitting planes of his machine and
turned it completely over. There was
absolutely NO hope for Hoxsey. His
machine shot to earth like plummet
and when the dazed and fear stricken
mechanics and spectators rushed to
the spot the body of the boy was found
beneath the ruins of his machine

crushed to an almost unrecognizable

Moisant Killed at New Orleans.
New Orleans, Dec. 31.--John B. Moi
SAINT, the famous American aviator,
was killed at Harahan Station, twelve
miles above New Orleans, when his
machine turned head downward at an
altitude of 100 feet, throwing Moisant
out. He landed on his head and was
unconscious when picked up. He died
before the special train on which he
was placed could reach this city,.
Moisant, in his fifty horsepower BE-
riot monoplane, whth special thirty
f1ve-gallon gasoline tank aboard, left
the aviation field in this city and flew
to Harahan, where special grounds
had been laid out over which the avia-
tor was to try for the Michelin cup.
Moisant circled the field twice, try
ing to find landing place. This was
difficult, the field being on the edge of
the Mississippi river and swamps. on
all other sides.
Suddenly, from some unknown
cause, the monoplane turned it's head
downward; the Mortified watchers saw
Moisant pitch clear over the head of
the machine, and fall like a plummet
for distance of fully a hundred feet,
landing on his head.

THREE DEAD IN ST. PAUL FIRE
Another Woman Succumhs to the In
juries Received. =.

st. Paul, Ian. Mrs. Rose Moore,
forty-five years old, victim of the fire
in the Concord flats, is dead at St..
Joseph's hospital, bringing the total
death list to three.
as Mrs. Moore is the woman who, after
being burned from head to foot in the
hallway on the second floor of the
apartment building, rushed to the bal
cony and cast herself over the railing
to the ground. Her death was due to
the burns she received, to the shock
of her fall and to the exposure.
Rescuers, thinking her dead, left
her on the sidewalk while they en-
deavored to save others who were ap-
pealing from every window for help.
Mrs. Moore is said to have lain on
the sidewalk nude for twenty minutes.

MISSED THE MARK.

"The people of Winona, the people
of Rochester, the people of OWatonna,
of Albert Lea, Mankato, Fairmont,
Faribault and every other county seat
have been misdirecting their energies
for years, says the Austin Herald.
"We've been fishing for whales in a
wash tub. We've all been trying to
convince a world that we had excep-
tionaI manufacturing facilities because
we had a piece of fiat prairie land
along the line of railroad. We have
expended time and money trying to
put foundations under air castles of
cash register plants, shoe factories,
wooden mills, steel companies, etc.
We thought we were the only original
booster town between the great seas.
We didn't know that there was not
water tank station in these United
States but was offering a bonus for
factories and had its booster club.
"We dwelt in the valley of visions
and had a nightmare when the census
returns came in. We wake up to find
that Southern Minnesota was at the
tail Of the procession with it's booster
club, it's booster buttons and it's
great manufacturing advantages.
"We've got another shock coming.
All of these county seats Of Southern
Minnesota will be found to have lost
their relative position when the CEN
sus of the cities are announced. What
were villages in the northern part Of
the state ten years ago now have a
larger population than the county
seats of the half century old Southern
Minnesota. We have been trying to
build up our county seats by an i'm
practical method.
"We have no coal mines, no water
power and no natural gas supply to
furnish cheap centers of raw material
that enter into the manufacture of
articles of commerce, bat we have
certain natural resources. These we
have neglected. We have the finest
agricut tural land of the country lying
in both the grain and the corn belt,
but what have we done to let the
land-seekers know this? We are in
the great dairy belt Of the northwest,
but have we done anything to let the
world know?
"Sure our state has been advertised
as the bread and butter state, but the
settlers have been rushed thru South
ern Minnesota to the north state. The
better part of the state is losing its
population. Let US build up our coun-
ties. AS our counties grow our cities
will grow. When the population is
dense enough the factories will come
of their own accord and we'll not
have to offer bonuses.
The above is so true that we can
take it to heart here in Morris. This
is an agricultural community, and it
will become great and prosperous only
as it developes along agricultural
lines. !

FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1910.

The opposition to Senator Clapp
has gone glimmering. He has been
unanimously nominated at the Repub-
lican caucus and will surely be re-
elected. Clapp is the man the people
have wanted and for the Republican
party to have elected any one else
would have been breach of trust.

Ihe Legislature Of l9ll
CNN
BY LYNN HAINES

There were cusses and caucuses.
Then the Republican majority of the
House of Representatives selected H.
H. Dunn of Albert Lea as the presid-
ing and organizing officer of that
body. No speakership contest in a
decade was waged SO bitterly or ended
with a wider breach between men,
bers. The acrimonious atmosphere
will clear a little as the days go by.
l prefer to wait for that time and un-
til certain administration steps are
taken before attempting to analyse the
contest.
Morris tribune., 1911-01-06

Such Senators as B. E. Sundberg,
A. L. Hanson. Ole O. Sagend. T. E.
eastman, John Moonan. V. L. john
son, J. T. Elwell, Joseph M. Hack
ney, Manley Fosseen, J. W. Pauly,
C. J. Gunderson. O. G. Dale, J. J.
Amman, S. B. Bedford. S. A. Nelson
and C. R. Donaldson, all active in
behalf of the people, were returned.
John Saugstad and Carl Wallace. old
reliable House members, were ad-
vanced to the Senate. In addition to
this splendid nucleus. most of the new
Senators are men of superior ability
and committed to progressive legisla-
tion.
Morris tribune., 1911-01-06

The same general situation prevails
in the House. There is not space in
this letter to designate the machine
leaders who failed to survive the cleo
tions. nor to call the roll of the pro-
gressives who were returned. These
identifcations will be made in later
letters. It is enough at this time to
know that the greater number of ex-
perienced leaders are on the side of
the people. And that the new men,
bers are generally inclined to be re-
sponsive to the public will. This en-
couraging condition has not existed at
the beginning of any other session
during the past tH elve years.
Morris tribune., 1911-01-06

Some suggestions as the
session starts-old forms
and influences weighed
with the new-the issues
this winter.
Morris tribune., 1911-01-06

Eighty-four Republicans attended
the caucus in the capitol Monday eve
ming, either in person or by proxy,
Mr.. Dunn receiving 55 votes for
speaker and Mr.. Burnquist 20. There
were no other contests in the caucus.
Oscar Aneson was elected chief clerk.
Morris tribune., 1911-01-06

Among the most important funda-
mental measures to come before the
session will be: (D A number of
questions dealing directly with the
legislature itself. such as changes in
methods which will compel standing
committees to act promptly and pub
licly. and reforms looking toward
greater efficiency. economy and delib-
Grafton. (2) Reapportionment. (3)
Direct legislation, thru the Initiative,
Referendum and Recall. az Exten-
sion of the primary. and improvement
in the corrupt practices act.
Morris tribune., 1911-01-06

The session starts auspiciously, be-
cause Minnesota has never been in a
more attentive mood. In every Sec
tion the people realize that this legis-
lature is to be the most important
ever assembled in the state and they
are interested accordingly. This gen.
eral and intelligent interest augurs
we'll. for no other influence so encour-
ages good intentioned members, or so
effectualIy deters that element natur-
ally inclined to serve the corporations
and the politicians. Public sentiment
is the mightiest, as we'll as the SIM
plest, force in government. 1t is my
earnest hope that these letters NAV
stimulate that influence and bring it
to bear directly upon the labors of the
legislature.
Morris tribune., 1911-01-06

Since the new session is largely an
outgrowth from the old. with the
same customs and corporations to
overcome, want to briefly summarize
the chief characteristics of the 1909
legislature. That session was mark
ed throughout by a conflict between
two sharply defined forces, one repre-
senting the people and progressive-
ness in politics, the other standing for
special privilege Of every kind. The
"progressives" were outnumbered and
generally outgeneraled. AS rule
they were the more inexperienced
members.
Morris tribune., 1911-01-06

The foregoing suggestions are not
intended to convey the impression
that I am pessimistic regarding the
session of 1911. On the contrary. l
expect good results this winter. The
elections eliminated nearly every man
responsible for the old conditions.
The old Senate combine" was brok-
en- by the defeat of such members as
