RESPONSIBILITY
Of FLYING MEN

New Bedford Standard: In this day
of flying machines, the older fashion
of balloons and parachutes for jour
neys through the air has lost some
thing of its appeal. Cattle shows and
agricultural fairs may still project
them as an attraction, but so rapidly
does fashion in amusement change, as
in all things, that it is almost as an
echo of the past that a balloon ascen-
sion and parachute jump comes to
public attention now through the law
coutrs. Just two years the case has
been pending that has now come to a
final conclusion through the verdict of
the Supreme Court of New Hampshire
that an association that hires a bal
loonist to perform in its name must
shoulder all the consequences of his
acts so far as they affect the public
or any part of it for harm
A pull on the string releases the
parachute, and by its aid the opera
tor makes his descent, while the bal
loon is abandoned in the air, to settle
wheresoever conditions decree. In
the case in point, it came down upon
woman driving along a New Hamp-
shire highway, outside the city of
Rochester, and did her injury, No no
tice of possible danger to travellers
had been issued, so that the woman
naturally felt aggrieved and brought
suit against the Rochester Agricultural
and Mechanical Association for dam
ages Now the suit has run its course,
and the association finds itself held

a most erratic one and worked out

loop on the first down-stroke

when the flood tide finished. The next
tide was kinder and we made a good
course towards Cape Grisnez, doing
very we'll till Z o'clock this morning,
when We were about mile off Cape

next three hours nearly. | was feel

Honolulu Cricket
Club Challenges For
Island Championship

There is some talk among the men,
bers of the Honolulu Cricket Club Of
playing an away" game with a team
representing Maui Hawaii or Kauai.
Two years ago the II. c. c. sent an
eleven to Maui and won the match
handsomely and had very good time.
1t is believed that the Maui sports
men could muster a fair team just at
present and that they would be glad
to get game with the Honolulu play
ers.
If a game is played on Hawaii it
will be with the Kohala people and at
that place. Kohala has been the scene
of some good cricket in the past, and
some sort of an eleven could probably
still be collected at that pleasant out
post
Kauai hasn't yet appeared on the
cricket map, but they are all sports
men over there, and if they can start
four or five soccer teams on the Gar
den Island, as they are doing, it is a
safe bet that there are enough old Soc
Ger players who have played cricket
to make up decent eleven.
The Honolulu players don't care
where they go; they want to go some
where, that is all, and are hereby
fiinging a challenge for the cricket
championship to the islands to Maui,
Kauai and Hawaii, the first to respond
to this def to be the first to be &C
commodated on their own ground.
And, faith, the home team, which
ever island it may represent, should
have a very fair chance of breaking
even with the visitors, for the H. G. G.
has had a rotten season, the very
worst in the history of the club.
October is here, and outside of the
coronation game and a game with a
visiting warship, there hasn't been a
match played, even of practice ma
ture, though members of the club have
been regularly paying their dues.
The ground at MakiM is in better
shape than ever before and, mirabile
dictu, the club has money in it's treas
ury. What then is the cause of the
moribund condition into which the
great game has fallen?

The trouble is that the officers of
the club are too darned conservative
to pitch in and hustle for new mem
bers and to keep those which the club
has interested in the game and the
welfare of the club.
In England, where cricket is the ma
tional game, the members of club
don't need continual stirring up and
looking after. They are sufficiently in
terested to keep the game going them
selves.
Here, however, baseball is THE
game and cricket is an exotic and
consequently needs an exotic's treat
ment. Members won't come into a
club of their own accord here; they
have to be gone after and kept in
touch with.
There is the whole trouble. The
only salvation of the Honolulu Cricket
Club lies in live canvass for new
members and in the election of a set
of officers who will keep in touch with
the club and its affairs and who will
see to it that members of the club get
something for their money, if only a
weekly practice at the nets.
There are over fifty past members
of the club who have left it on account
of the lackadaisical manner in which
it is conducted, there are nearly thirty
paying members today, and there are
as many more known cricketers who
would join the club and take part in
the games were it reorganized on a
live basis.
A letter sent to each of these past,
present and prospective players, So
Letting their membership, followed up
by a personal interview by a member
of a committee on membership, would
result in Honolulu having a cricket
club which would play the game with
as much eclat as marks the cricket
season in San Francisco.
The game has flickered for long
time. Today it is spluttering If
something isn't done it will go out of
it's own accord and without benefit Of
snuffers.
What are the local cricketers going
to do about it?

Honolulu swimmers to man We're
interested to hear that Burgess had
succeeded in swimming the English
channel and have waited for further
details of his feat which have now
come to hand.
Burgess was twenty-five hours thir-
ty-five minutes in the water and COW
cred 80 IL miles actual swimming. In
GLIDING the drift, the mileage accord
ing to the pilots estimate was about
60 miles.
The late Capt. Matthew Webb swan
across the English channel on August
"a and %, 1875, and thus sc years
have elapsed before the great feat
has been repeated.
Burgess had done only IS hours
sea training this year and his achieve
ment is on this account all the more
remarkable.
The Successful Swimmer.
Thomas William Burgess is a ma
tive of Rotterdam, Yorkshire, and
learned to swim when small boy.
Whilst in London, as a young man,
Burgess set himself assiduously to in
crease his speed in swimming, and
has done some excellent work in that
direction. He has for some years
past been resident in Paris, where he
is in the motor tire business, but ne
always kept up his interest in swim
ming, and is a keen player of water
polo When he started channel swim
ming it was from a French tug with
a party composed entirely of French
sportsmen and journalists. 1t was
then given out that he was French
man, and great was the surprise Of
English journalists in subsequent con-
versations to find the supposed Pari-
sian speaking in a broad Yorkshire
dialect.
Burgess is a fine natural winner,
using the right and the left over-arm
stroke alternately and the Yorkshire
kick, His body rolls easily in the
water with each stroke, and his kick
is the most powerful of that of any
of the channel swimmers, affording
him tremendous propelling power. He
is forty years of age and stands about
six feet high, and is more than pro
portionately broad-shouldered, Swim
ming seems to be as natural as walk

SENATOR LEROY PERCY
SPEAKS TUESDAY.
Junior Senator from MississIpDi to
Speak at Court House.

Senator Leroy Percy who has just
returned from busy session of Con-
gress, has opened a sh. rt campaign be-
tween now and the 4th of April when
he will be forced to return to Washing
ton for the reassembly of Congress
at a special session. He will open
Monday at Lexington, and has accepted
the invitation of his many friends
and admirers here to address the people
of Greenwood, especially the ladies, at
the Court House Tuesday morning at
eleven o'clock.
Senator Percy has made quite an i'm.
pre- ssion at Washington, and his splen-
did work in effecting the defeat of the
Sutherland Amendment, and the big
pension bill, has given him national re-
cognition. Reports from Washington
say that Mr.. Percy has made an unusual
record since he took his seat in Con =
gress.
Every one in the county il invited to
hear this able statesman and citizen,
and he will no doubt be given a large
audience next Tuesday morning hc
delivers his first address in Lefiore
County.

The wedding was indeed a surprise to
her many friends. Although h the family
knew of the engagement the marriage
was not expected for sometime.
The bride was one of Greenwood's &
most worthy young ladies and had
many admiring friends here. She had
been saleslady for Geo. D. cassity fol
the past several months, which position
she filed with mnch credit to herself
and the firm.
Mr.. Houston is young man of ster.

deserving the pensions received them.'
He showed from the report of the
secretary of the interior that the
pension bill with this addition imposed
burden of $500, ,0oO, ,OO0.a year. He said
"The proposed measure is based on
service alone without regard to the
merit of that service. Three months il
the length of time required; no poverty
or destitution is factor. The sick an
we'll, the strong end the weak, the ric
and the poor, the hero and the skulks
are pensioners"
He said the president was insisting
upon reducing expenditures; that tn
last rivers and harbors bill had been
cut down down some 81 % 900 900 for this
purpose, the Mississippi receiving three
million instead of four million dollars;
that the postofice department. by
pending bill was seeking to impose
higher rate OF postage upon magazine
for purposes Of economy; that pitiful
effort at economy was being made by
reducing the salaries of rural mail
carriers, the most underpaid class of
employees in the service of the govern
ment; that tho government was refus-
ing to install rural routes in order to
save million dollars at the expense of
the farmers. Then he ironically asked:
Are all those multiplied efforts at
economy pitiful sham? If not they
will surely be-"
Mr.. Percy alluded to the fact that no
greater love ever filed the heart of a
people than was cherished by the
Southern people for the Confederate
soldier, and yet, except where war has
left its mark in loss of arm or leg, there
was nothing which set apart the Con
federate veteran from his fellow man.
Referring to the Confederate veteran,
he said:
"Uncared for by government, dra wing
no pension from those who loved him,
relying upon his own manhood, he has
fought the battle of life as uncomplain-
ingly and as brayaly as he ever fought
the battles of his country, and while
now in their old age, thier states are en-
deavoring to care for the disabled and
helpless, to bring some small degree of
comfort to them in their remaining
days, and we bitterly regret the power
ty of our resources in hampering and
minimizing the care SO bestowed; yet
We proudly feel that, however great
their resources might be, not collar
would be accepted save by those in
want and helpless to earn livelihood
for themselves

WILLIAMS Is NOW
SfNATOR..-WHO NEXT?
Comes From Hermit Life to Sue
ceed Senator Money.

Jackson, Miss, March To-day it ID
on with the old on with the new, with
| ono seasoned statesman taking up the
| work OF veteran brother in the ranks,
and Incidentally it is an exchange of
material in kind. Today at noon Sen
ator John Sharp Williams doffs his hat
ty his Mississippi constituency and
dons the toga which fernando DeSoto
Money voluntarily laid aside after q
long and brilliant career in the nation
al legislative halls. The new senator,
who has been living the hermit life out
on the old Benton road, a dozen or SO
miles from Yazoo City, is expected to
now come out Of his shell and take his
place amid the scenes SO familiar du.
ring his sixteen years of steady service,
and it is not unlikely that he will find
himself in the very vortex before he
has assumed active senatorial honors
very long.
When John Sharp Williams is sworn
in and takes his seat on the floor of the
senate. according to all estimates
Mississippi will be as strongly repre-
sented in that body as any state in the
Union, and both he and Senator Percy,
becomes the senior senator, will make
up force in counsel, activity and de-
bate which might be duplicated from
other states of the galaxy of common
wealths, but there are few Missis-
sippians who believe that it could be
excelled.
Meanwhile the contest down in
Mississippi, which is to determine the
momentous question in August next
whether the present senior ser ator is
to be permitted to remain in that posi-
ton after March 4, 1918. or rather
whether he will succeed to the role Just
assumed to his brother senator, is
about to wax fast and lively, with two
strong and virile lighters engaged in a
spirited contest for the same he no..

In few days more SenAtor pepcy
will put in an appearance at head
quarters and will discuss and arrange
plans for his own active campaign wi h
his managers here. Whether or not
congress should be convened, it is ex-
pected that the next few months, by
way Of pairs on important questions
that may develop, in order to give as
much attention to his canvass as possi-
bic.
This senatorial question is naturally
the one that will overshadow every
ching else medicinal to the 1911 cam
paign, and the triangular debate or
contest is expected to develop proper
tions and interest as it gathers inn
petus, and each of the three gentlemen
is confronted by the fight of his life in
