AGITATORS- brown
Transatlantic Flight Hero Presents
New Suggestions for Combating
|. W. W. Menace

A new but apparently plausible
means OF combating the |. W. w.
menace was proposed before the
chamber of commerce Tuesday by
Sir Arthur Written Brown, first to
make nonstop flight across the
Atlantic ocean, when he suggested
that ridicule might prove a better
means of Kidding the nation of the
menace than force or other means.
The distinguished visitor called at.
tention to the cartoons which, he
says, are the order of the day in the
daily newspapers, depicting the l..
W. w. as huge beast of strength
and picturing the public as a dimin-
utiye victim, struggling in his grasp.
He pointed out that this attempt to
mould public sentiment against the
agitators might in reality give the
agitators an exalted opinion of their
real strength and cause them to at
tempt LhlhSS W MIN Olhtl " lSc iHGg
would consider beyond their power.
"Ridicule has killed many a good
thing" said Sir Arthur, why not
employ it to kill a few bad things
Get the public to laughing at the L.
w. w. and his nefarious undertake
ings and believe you will have gone
long way toward combating him
and his influence. | believe the l..
W. w. can be killed by ridicule'
The visitor was a guest at the
noon luncheon of the chamber and
gave an interesting address. Touch
ing upon the subject of aerial trans
portation, Sir Arthur expressed sur
prise at finding this means of trans
portatiOn so wOefully underdevel-
oped in America. THE United
States gave the airplane to the
world. then sat down and let the rest
OF the world raise it." he said, and
continued that he had come to
America from England expecting to
find aerial transportation in a high
state of development. Il found moth
ing but mail routes" he said, land
my surprise is that you Americans,
world renowned for your business
instinct and activity, should sit by
and let the other nations outstrip
you in this matter"
That aerial transportation is the
safest means of them all was the
contention of the speaker, who quot
ed British figures to prove that the
number of accidents per mile flown
in aircraft is less than the number
of accidents per passenger mile on
railroads.

II believe that the future peace
and unity Of the world depends up
on the development of aeronautics,'
said Lieutenant Arthur Written
Brown, X. b. E., who lectured to a
packed house at the college audi
torium Tuesday evening.
England at pr, sent is five days
away from America. With the use
of aeroplanes England is only two
days away. Air transportation will
bring nations closer economically.
socially and intellectually. The
aeroplane was not built for war but
for peace.
Lieutenant Sir Arthur Brown,
who with Captain John Alcock,
K. b. E.. d. S. c.. achieved the stu
pendous record OF standing on the
continents of America and Europe in
the same day. gave a detailed &C
count of this marvellous trip.

fact that the exhaust pipe burst on

Sir Arthur was somewhat disap-
pointed at the attitude of the United
States toward aeroplanes as the con-
gress at Washington voted only Is
million dollars for their manufacture
while England, with less than half
as large a population, voted an ap-
preparation of 1875 millions. He Is
certain that aeronautics will play
great part in the future OF the world
and although they will in no way
displace ocean and railway trans
portation they will cooperate with
our present means of transportation

When asked about the danger OF

COUNCIL APPROVES
NEW WEST APPROACH
C;ty Dads, at Request of Chamber
Committee, Adopt Resolutions
Declaring Intention to Pro-
vide New Approach from
West

The city council Wednesday even
ing went on record as favoring the
construction of a new approach to
Pullman from the west, when a reso-
city to make the improvement at the
earliest possible moment, was adopt
ed. The proposed new approach is
designed TO provide better grade
for the farmers residing west of
Pullman than the present West
approach, with it's ! 8 per cent grade.
The West Main road would be main
tanned and would probably be large
" used by automobiles and light
loads, while heavy loads would be
diverted to the proposed new road.
The survey for the proposed new
highway has been completed and the
full description of the route is in
cluded in the resolution adopted by
the council, The survey starts on
the present Colfax road. near the
old j. b. Holt property, runs past
the northwest corner of the I. O. 0.
F. cemetery, thence east through the
j. NJ Palmerton property and to the
0.-W. R. & N. right-of-way near the
depot. 1t would provide five per
cent grade.
The resolution adopted by the
council, with the description of the
route omitted. is as follows;
Be 1t Resolved by the Council of
the City of Pullman, That a public
highway be established 60 feet wide
Except on the part of the line on
the property of the O.-W. r. & N.
Co., which shall be as wide as ar
arrangements can be made therefor
with the railway company Be it
further
Resolved, That the right OF way
for said road be procured by pur-
chase, if satisfactory arrangements
as to the price can be made with
the owners of the property, and if
said right of way can not be pur-
chased at a reasonable and fair
value that proceedings be taken to
condemn the same, providing, how
ever, that the amount paid for said
right of way shall be paid by citizens
OF Pullman and vicinity and that De
fore any proceedings to condemn
are instituted that a bond be fur
nished by the citizens of Pullman to
pay the awards that may be made
IN said proceedings and all costs
thereof, and be it further
Resolved, That when said right
OF way is secured that the city will
open ut the first favorable opportun-
lty said road and put it in shape for
public travel.
