WILBUR WRIGHT. FIRST
MAN TO FLY, DIES
Pioneer In Aviation Victim Of
Typhoid Fever After Long H.

tune Was Born Near Mill
Vile, Ind.
HAD NO TIME FOR SOCIETY.

Dayton, Ohio, May 30.-Wilbur
Wright, the first man to actually fly In
an aeroplan, died this morning.
He had been i'll of typhoid fever for
several weeks and his death. came after
a relapse. Messages of coincidence
have been received from all over the
world.
The family believed that the crises
had passed two days ago, but the ply
sicians were not so hopeful. The pa
tient had been unconscious for some
time and at midnight he began to sink
rapidly. For the first time the physi-
clans attempted to give him nourish-
ment Yesterday morning. He died
peacefully just before dawn.
The life of Wilbur Wright is so inter-
woven with that of his brother, Orville,
that no one but the surviving brother
himself will ever be able to set forth the
exact share of both in tine honor and
the fame accorded to them for the prac-
teal solving of the great problem of
aerial navigation. The world has never
been told what Wilbur did or what
Orville did; to which one the first idea
came; it does not know which one
planned the first glider or the latest
equilibrator, which one hit upon the
vertical rudder, the warping plane, the
advantage of placing the operators seat
on the lower plane; no one knows
which one worked out the first theory
of air currents, which one glided against
these rising and spiral currents, and in
all likelihood the world will never know
any of this. for every attempt to divide
the 1--WE" into "I's'' has been absolu-
tely without success. Only this has
trickled out, Wilbur Wright was
the first man in the history of the
world to leave fiat ground in an engine
driven, heavier than air flying machine.
The brothers have grown wealthy,
with more money pouring in upon them
every day. The success never turned
the head of either.
Wilbur Wright never married and
had no time for society. Unless some
function kept him up, he preferred to
go to bed at O'CLOCK at night and arise
before o O'Clock in the morning.

1t was then that Judge ]. w. Hen
son, of Henderson county, a member of
the committee on resolutions, offered a
minority report. This report signed by
three other members of the committee
said that in view Of the long and faith
full services of the Hon. Urey Woodson,
as member of the Democratic ma
tional committee, and the compliment
paid Kentucky by his being retained
as secretary for eight years, that the
convention be instructed to reflect
him for term of four years.
James Kehoe rose to point of or
der, saying that it was his impression
that the delegates to the national con-
vention elected the national committee
man.
Judge Henson read telegram from
Norman E. Mack, of the national COM
mittee, to the effect that Democratic
state convention is sovereign body,
and can elect the national committee
man, or instruct the delegates, or leave
it to the delegates themselves.

The Judges Of tie judiciary

There are some truths that we
wish we're lies and Of these the
most cruel is the existence of dis.
honor in the judiciary.
The faith Of nations rests in the
integrity Of the COURTS. Next TO
faith in God must be mans trust
in the arbiters Of justice.
To be chosen from among ones
fellows for such signal gifts of

When the blind Goddess is re-.

threatened.
Because we believe in the law,
We cooperate in common causes,

thieves and braves, live blessed
with the knowledge that We plan

happy in the belief that the vel
fare of our dependents is guaran-
teed.
When people lose faith in the
courts, it will be a calamity only
second to the hour when they lose
trust in the Almighty.
1t is an unspeakable thing when
even a little Judge in a little court
betrays his Office, but if it is true
that a Federal Judge, sitting in
the second highest court in the
land, has taken the Thirty Pieces"
is his crime less than high trea-
son?
When an officer of the army sells
fortification plans to an enemy,
even if we thereby lose a point OF
defense, the harm is trivial. We
can soon replace that which has
been betrayed, but when a digni-
tary of the law delivers a strong
hold of society to the enemy, then
we lose irreparably.
We do not know that Judge
Archibald of the Commerce Court
committed the offenses with which
he is charged. We hope not; but
if he is guilty, there is no excuse
that he can offer-no extenuating
plea that he can make-no argu-
ment which mercy can advance.
He above all men knew the law
and knew the peril that lay
in it's pollution. Year after
year he sat on the seat or
judgment aud condemned his
fellows to beggary, to disgrace, to
prison and to death.
Because of their confidence in
his honor, men were content to be
punished and to accept the COM
pensations which he deoreed, con-
tident through him justice spake.
What do they think today?
What are the feelings Of their
friends, their families? Behind
him he has left q trail of doubt.
Tonight memory is tearing open
thousands of old scars, andanarchy
is poisoning the wounds.
When the people are wrong it is
as the misconduct Of ignorant
children-the penalties fixed for
their misdemeanors are not heavy
enough for criminal Judges.
We cannot make their disgrace
too terrible, or their chastisement
too severe.
If responsibility cannot inspire
the highest standards of integrity,
then Fear must WELD the club
