LOCKLEAR HURLED
 10 INSTANT DEATH
(By United Press

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 3.-Lieut. Harold Locklear, famous stunt" avi- ator and probably the greatest of all aerial daredevil, was instantly killed last night when his plane, going into tail spin, crashed on to the earth. Lieutenant Elliot, his assistant, also met instant death.
 Locklear probably was blinded by the blazing fire works on his machine ignited to show hs brilliant course through the sky above Los Angeles A searchlight on the flying field also was trained on his plane, and it is pos sible that the aviator was blinded by it's glare and misjudged his altitude, turning his machine into tail spin when too near the earth.
The log cabin Democrat., 1920-08-03

Locklear's first sensational feat in the air was to drop from one plane to another while both were in flight This brought him into national re- nown, but he did not rest upon his laurels. Thrill after thrill was added to his aerial repertoire Many audi cnces in America have breathlessly watched his spectacular flying. Re gently his time has been used in the production of motion pictures, and his flight last night at Los Angeles was made while on the coast for work in the studios.

TUMULTY SAYS PRESIDENT
WILSON is LONELY

Joseph Patrick Tumulty, for many
years the private secretary of Pres
ident Wilson, says that because of his
genius the President is lonely man.
Tumulty has been associated with Mr..
Wilson for long time and should
know whereof he speaks.
In referring to the loneliness Of the
President, Mr.. Tumulty says:
"This lonely man is lonely not be-
cause he disdains love. He Graves it
with all his soul. He is lonely because
Of his genius. The greatest genius
always walks companionless. We all
love the stories of Lincoln, the COM
panionable, the easy going, the famil-
lar "Old Abe" but any close student
of Lincoln's life, character and career
knows that he was the loneliest man
Of his age. He had not one single
confidant, not one single intimate COM
panion. Sadness is written in his
face.

would love to feel the familiar touch
of the ordinary comraderie of life, but
it cannot be so. The knowledge that
1t cannot be saddened him from the
outset. 1t is known to his dearest
friends, but not guessed at by the
public at large, that this aggressive

very shy man, too sincere to pose, too
shy to make advances. He has not

VOICE OF THE
PEOPLE
Building Up.


A question every man might oceas-
ionally ask himself is this:
Gam I on the side that builds up,
or am | on the side that destroys?"
Nature tolerates no neutrals in the
fight for progress - no human
vacuum. We are builders or destroy
ers, consciously or unconsciously, in
diligently or ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the
absolutely unacceptable law of the uni
verse.
When we intelligently join the fore
es of construction and progress, there
are two words with which we can
arm ourselves, in which we can en-
body our thinking, on which we can
base our decisions, which can serve
as our battle cry, 'Noblesse Oblige."
The forces of human destruction
are ever with us--as inevitably in soul
evolution as in cosmic evolution. And,
as inevitably, the stronger, the first,
survive.
The battle GIBBS and flows, advances
and recedes-but each decision lands
progress a little farther ahead.
The forces of destruction have set
us back. We're shell-shocked, con-
fused, muddled. Two words are ready
to serve as a steadier-to aid US in
our equilibrium. All our
can be conferred in these
two words, "Noblesse Oblige."
To the people of the United States
these two words are fuller of meaning
than to any other humans. America
is the farthest advance post of human
soul progress. We can recover lost
ground and get inspiration for, the
next step ahead with our slogan,
'Noblesse Oblige."
