Did IngersOll Recant:

A correspondent wants to know ii
Robert G. Ingersoll, the great agnos-
tic, recanted before his death. He
saws that he has read somewhere
that the tribute which Ingerson paid
to his brother, at the time Of the lat
ter's death, was in reality belief in
Immortality.
Whether Ingersoll "recanted' be-
fore his death, we do not know. In
gersoll never denied a belief in a
supreme being. He simply said he
knew nothing about the hereafter;
but his tribute to his brother express
ed "hope,' as many have stated.
Perhaps the most beautiful part
in that immortal tribute reads thus:
Life is a narrow vale between the
cold and barren peaks of two eter-
mites. We strive in vain to look be-
yond the heights. We cry aloud, and
the only answer is the echo of our
wailing cry. From the voiceless
world of the unreplying dead there
comes no word, but in the night of
death hope sees a star, and listening
love can hear the rustic of wing"
Speaking of his brother, a little
further along in his tribute, he said:
HE who sleeps here, when dying,
mistaking the approach of death for
the return of health, whispered with
his last breath, i am better now
Let us believe in spite of doubts and
dogmas, tears and fears, that these
dear words are true of all the count
less dead. Dayton, CO., News.

A Bootlegger to Prison.

The man who is inclined to take
chances on selling liquor in defiance
of the law has something now to
think about since the new statute
provides that he may be sent to the
penitentiary for the offense. That
the law can and probably will be en-
forced is demonstrated by the action
of the court at Sioux City in sentenc-
ing one persistent offender to the
state re3prmatory for recent OF
tense.
That i'll happened in Sioux City
where Temperance sentiment is not
as strongjas it is in some commun-
tiles may\ serve as warning to Vlo-
lators of the law in other cities SINH
larly Situated. A good many temper
ance people were opposed to the re-
peal of the mulct law at the last SEES
sion ,jof the legislature, believing that
constitutional prohibition might pc
prejudiced by the results which they
feared would follow the repeal of the
present statute. The legislature pro-
vided certain safeguards and 1T was
freely predicted that they would be
ignored in cities where sentiment was
for the saloon.
If the Sioux City method is follow
ed they have another guess coming.
It's going to be pretty dangerous bus
ness for bootleggers. AS long as they
got off with nominal fines they were
pretty sure to take chance, but with
the penitentiary looming UP before
them it looks different.-SiouX City
Tribune,
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1915-09-09
Robbins Makes Flight.

N. B. Robbins, our local aviator
made several successful flights with
his bi-plane at the Odit Mccullough
aviation field last Thursday and Fri
day, Mr.. Robbins rose to quite a
height and remained in the air for
quite distance. After breaking his
machine slightly Wednesday, he
came back Thursday with deter
mination to get in the air, which he
did several times. At $3.50 Friday
afternoon after puncturing tire on
his forward wheel he brought his ma
chine to town for repairs. After a
little study over his machine he de-
cided to lengthen his wing surface.
This work is now under way and
when completed Mr.. Robbins is going
into the air in manner that Will
convince all that his bi-plane is a sue
cess.
Some are asking why Robbins does
not turn his machine lose and go as
high as the motor will carry him, but
that is a great deal easier said than
done. If you read the history OF the
great aviators such as Lincoln
Beachy, Art Smith and others you
will find that Mr.. Robbins has done
more in the short space Of time that
he has been trying his machine than
either of the worlds greatest stars in
the flying business. These great men
used up about six months time run
ming" around on earth before they
yentured even as high as Robbins.
Take your own time Robbins, it's
vour neck that is at stake, no one
else should worry.
If the local man continues with his
success it may be that in the near
future a ball tournament and avia-
ton meet will be held in Kellerton
some time in the near future.-kel-

Makes Record Run in Ford Machine.
Joseph Darling of Los Angeles, Lays Claim to
N0nproteSSi0naI Championship.
UNDER AUSPICES A. A. A.
Gasoline and Oil Cost Figured at About Cent Mile. Whole
Trip Sll8.7O.

portions of the country made fast
running dangerous where it was not
clearly impossible.
In addition to establishing what
appears to be the record time for this
trip, Mr.. Darling also made an ex-
tremely low mark for expense. Case
line and oil for the trip cost $3S.
or approximately l cent per mile.
Tires cost the same amount, and ad-
justments enroute entailcd an ex-
pense of only 1855. A preliminary
overhaul in Los Angeles cost $25
and adjustments made after New
York was reached totalled $14.25.
The total expense for the run amount
ed to $11S.7O, exclusive of Mr.. OAR
ling's personal expense.
Mr.. Darling was unaccompanied,
driving the entire distance himself.
On his showing, he claims the anna
teur record for all distances from
Los Angeles to New York, with the
exception of the distance from Los
Angeles to Needles, Calf. Mr..
Darling states that he stands ready
to defend his record in this class, and
asks only that all records be deposit
ed with the contest board of the A.
A "A. for examination.
The longest days run was 1888
miles, made on August 10, while a
washout bridge and detour near
Holbrook, AriZ., made the shortest
days trip 67 miles.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1915-09-09

Driving Ford car, Joseph Oar
ling of Los Angeles made what is
claimed to be record run, for non
professional drivers, from Los An
geles to New York, when he complet-
ed the distance in nineteen days,
eighteen hours and fifteen minutes.
This mark is said to be fully five
days better than the best previous
amateur record and is expected to
stand as official time, since the run
was made under the sanction of the
American Automobile Association.
Late in July Mr.. Darling decided
to have try for the amateur trans
continental record. He took the
matter up with E. F. Cheffins, men,
Der of the a. A. A. contest board at
Los Angeles. After selecting his car,
a Ford, Darling started from the Of
flee of the Los Angeles Examiner at
midnight of July 81, carrying a let
ter to serve as passport and creden-
tails in case of trouble with police Of
