WOMAN AVIATOR FROM. VA.
Miss Stearis Makes Flights-Barns
Destroyed by Fire. :.

Culpeper, Va, Oct. 21.-The record
of being the first woman aviator IN
the Adriondacks belongs to Miss Edith
Stearns, of this county, who has just
returned from three months stay
at a camp there. Miss Stearns was
accompanied by Aviator Grey, who
had been giving exhibitions at the
driving park near lower saranac'
Lake Miss stearns is also said to
be the first woman to make flight IN
Virginia.
The barns on the La Grange estate,
owned by apeain John Cunningham,
were destroyed by fire IN the absence
of the owner last week. A large
quantity of grain, carriages, harness
and all other contents were burned.
The origin Of the fire is still unknown.
This is the second loss that Captain
Cunningham has sustained in the last
three years. The first time, three
years ago, his barn was set on fire by
a demented neighbor, who afterwards
confessed the crime. Another seri-
Gus fire is reported from Rappahan-
mock, where J. R. Moore had the mis-
fortune to lose 500 bushels of wheat
that was stored in an outbuilding
near his home. When first seen the
roof was blazing, and all efforts to
save the contents were unavailing.
There is said to have been no insur-
tnce.

LONG DISTANCE WALKER.
Ralph d. Tompkins, One-Legged
Youngster, Returns From Long
Trip.

Ralph D. Tompkins, of Poughkeep-
sic, who recently walked from New
York to Jacksonville, Fla, in ninety
one days arrived here this morning on
his way from Jacksonville, Fla, to
New York City, to which city he en-
poets to walk in forty days.
A remarkable fact about Tompkins
is that he has but one leg and 1t is
wonderful that he could withstand
the long walk.
He said that it was possible for him
to make as good time as any two
legged man and that he made from
twenty to twenty-five miles day.
When fourfyears old he lost his
right leg in a railroad accident while
playing around the tracks.
Last year he created quite SAN
sation by walking from New York to
Chicago and return, distance of 2,07O
miles, in ninety-nine days.
His best days walk on this trip
was from Westfeld, N. Y, to Erie,
Pa, a distance of thirty-two miles, in
eight and one-half hours.
He liked this trip so much he made
up his mind to see some OF the south
ern country. He left New York to
walk to Jacksonville, Fla, distance
of 1900 miles in 100 days, but had
such good weather and such good
roads that he was able to make the
trip in ninety-one days, nine days
ahead of schedule.
He pays his expenses along the
route by appearing on vaudeville stage
along the way, his speciality being
singing and talking.

The bride is lady of wondrous

truth when he wrote: A civilian

no skill in the lower technicalities

fame beyond that Of any conqueror,
the memory of a grace higher than
that of outward person; and of a
gentlemanliness deeper than mere
breeding. Never before that STAR

tudes Of men shed tears for the
death of one they had never seen,

CLARK FOR PRESIDENT

Because he believes that Speaker
Clark did more than other democrat
to bring about election Of democrats
in the two congressional districts of
Kansas, where vancancies occurred
through the death of the incumbents,
and for other reasons, w. l.. Brown,
of Kingman, Kan, is strong for Mr..
Clark for president. He declares
that next to Bryan, Clark is the
biggest man in the party.
Mr.. Brown is one the most active
politicians in Kansas. Cows. Har-
mon and Wilson, Mr.. Brown says,
can never be elected.
1T has no doubt been observed
that 1912 promises to be a demo-
cratic year." said Mr.. Brown, at the
Raleigh.
1 say that had it not been for
Champ Clark as. Speaker Of the
House it would have been impossible
to elect democrats in Kansas to fill
the vacancies ia the congressional
districts. In the Second District he
broke a solid republican delegation.
and overturned a majority that was
50 large that it was discouraging to
the democrats. In the Seventh
district Clark, by his speech at Dodge
City, turned the tide for democracy.
did you ever hear of Champ
Clark by voice or vote being mixed
in political scandal? The other
day | polled car on the Santa Fe
as to first and second choice for the
democratic nomination. Out of
seventeen democrats eleven were
for Bryan as first choice, and yet
they knew that Bryan would not,
under any circumstances, be can
didate. For second choice these
eleven were for Clark. Simply be-
cause he is the only candidate--Har-
mon, Wilson and Clark--who did
not bolt Bryan in the days when, as
a candidate. he promulgated pro-
gressive ideas, now so popular among
the majority of men of both parties.
Il undertake to say that no demo.
crat who bolted Bryan in 1896 can

cratic vote in 1912" Washington,

FEBRUARY is. 1912
A VALENTINE

President Taft presented the State
Of Arizona with a valentine by
signing the Statehood bill on ST..
Valentines Day, February l4th 1t
seems that the President had big
eat" coming at celebration in New
York on Lincoln's Birthday, and
therefore could not be in Washing
ton and sign the bill. so that the
people of Arizona might celebrate
Lincoln's Birthday by entering the
Union.
President Taft has shown his en-
nifty to the people Of Arizona all
thru the progress of the Statehood
measure until it finally became a law
in spite of him.
The progressive spirit that prevails
in Arizona is poison to the class of
politicians, of which President Taft
is leading light.
The reform, which mus. come be-
cause the progressive spirit of the
people Of Arizona will not stand for
the old machine methods, and will
insist on betterments in government
that will place our State ahead Of
all other States, is most obnoxious
to President Taft and his class.
They do not believe in letting the
people rule, and when people like
those who compose the citizenship
Of Arizona, declare for self govern
ment and insist on doing things con-
trary to the wishes of the political
body in Washington and it's annex,
Wall Street, they at once make en-
emies of the rulers of the Nation.
President Taft should be above
the methods OF the machine poll
ticians. AS president he should
tower as leader of the people and
should not descend to small things,
but there seems to be nothing to
small for Big Bill" to resort to. in
showing his enmity to the progress
sive Americanism of the people of
Arizona.
Still, we hope that President
Taft's digestion has not been af-
fected by the meats and salads at
the celebration he attended, which
he preferred to the patriotic duty
Of signing the Statehood bill for
Arizona on the birthday of our
greatest American, Abraham Lin
coin. la
