Oscar Roesen's Life Work.

OSCAR RoEsEN, first vice-president
Of +. Hoe & Co. and active UP to the
very day before his death in his life
work Of building printing presses,
was one Of the rare types that not
often coming into direct contact with,
perhaps scarcely known to, the gen
eral public, yet have very large and
important share in the daily lives Of
the American people.
OF the millions Of men, women and
children who will eagerly take up
their newspapers this morning the
overwhelming majority will be In
debtcd to OSCAR RoEsEN for many If
not most of the practical improve
ments and betterments which throng,,
the last quarter oY Century have
gwen Tue prRiting press so large as
wen 80 intimate relationship to
1A.n lcan life. Not himself one Of
the great printing press inventors and
not founder of great printing press
plants, he was, nevertheless. imme-
diately and constantly responsible for
innumerable developments and adap-
tations Of printing press principles
which have made 1t possible for news
papers to do all they now do in re.
spect not only to stupendous editions
consuming whole forests Of trees
which supply the paper but finer and
more appealing touches Of superior
workmanship in the printing arts.
It was from his incessant and de.
voted attendance in newspaper press
rooms the country over, watching the
actual printing, that OSCAR RoEsEN
gained his inspiration for newer ap-
plications Of old principles and for
other changes making for practical
Improvements in the printing press
The theory ever was In the great
construction works Of II. Hoe & Co.
The practice was in the throbbing
press rooms of the newspapers them
selves, and it was here that the press
builder pictured the results and
thought out the ideas which have
done such marvellous things for the
higher development Of the printing
press and have made OSCAR RoEsEN
so well known and so admired Of
working newspaper men Of several
continents.

A Bet by the Court.
Justice Tim Campbell's Remark to .
Long Winded Lawyer.

To THE New YoRK HERALD: Reading
the discussion about the late Congress-
man Tim Campbell and his famous In
ouiry what II the Constitution be-
tween friendsr'' am reminded of a
story told of him whom he was a dis
triot court Justice sitting on the East
Side OF Manhattan.
Ono day when Justice Tim was anx-
ious to get away from tho court TO
keep an engagement elsewhere a per-
tinacious East Side barrister delayed
him by insisting on making a long ar
gument in the closing Of his case. II
was In vain the Justice repeated that he
fully understood the lawyers contention
and that he would give II due considera-
ton when he came to decide the case.
The budding Choate was obdurate. how
ever, and continued his long argument.
calling the attention of the court to this
and that point In the testimony.
The vexed Justice finally threw him
self back In his chair and said: go
ahead, counsellor. 20 ahead. I've got
to listen to you. I suppose, but I'll bet
you $40 you lose your case" r..

Horse Show Aid to Breeding.

Horse shows are second only to
racing as stimulant to horse breed
ing, and it Is of good augury for the
industry to find men Of high standing
engaged in their promotion. The
horse show serves as guide to type,
and as such these exhibitions, which
were once confined to State or county
fairs and are now general, may be
regarded as educational.
Not only does the horse show serve
es q means for the establishment Of
type but 1t develops love for the
horse among those who are In POSI-
ton to indulge in the breeding and
ownership Of fine animals. Through
the exhibition in public Of the best
specimens pleasure is given to spec
tators who find delight in the specta-
Gle Of daintily moving saddle horse,
bold hunter taking his fences with
confidence or a lofty going horse of
the harness type progressing with
rhythmic tread. Bride paths in pub
lie parks, the hunting field and the
show ring are responsible for the per-
petuation Of the saddle horse and the
hunter at their best
The harness horse, however, has
reached a point where better roads
must be furnished II he Is not to be-
come a rarity. Concrete and macad-
amized roads are good for motor cars,
but they burn the feet and legs Of a
harness horse. and the demand for
side roads Of soft dirt paralleling au-
tomobile ways Is becoming more and
more insistent on the part of all who
drive.
Whenever horses OF particularly
nne show type are offered at public
auction competition for them Is keen.
This was shown Mt recent Liggett
sale, when $4,000, a record price,
was paid by JOHN p. CRozEB of Up
land, Pennsylvania, for the great sad
die mare Bohemian Actress, while w.
+. SHuTTLEwoRTH gave $4,000 the
same evening for the champion hunter

A Marysville, California, man says
he will get that $1,000 offered by
the Government for black rose, that

such an offer. a taxicab driver of
Emporia, Kansas, was hailed TO court
because he ran over a squirrel and
cut Off its tail; Emporia Is old BILL
WHITES town, and city ordinance
protects everything. The Seattle
street car company received five cents
out Of which a conscience stricken
patron cheated the road twenty years
ago. Conscience Is wonderful, but
truth Is mightier. One night in 1901
Utah farmer saw great shooting
star that lit up the whole countryside
drop on his farm. He told everybody
what he saw, and everybody smiled
incredulously and said, Show me the

with the reputation Of the biggest

gramme; something like 1t Is pro-

Honoring Jack Dempsey.
One Patriotic American Would Like
TO See Carpenter Win.

To THE New YORK HERALD: Knowing
something of the loyalty and patriotism
Of most OF our American boys who will
their country at the time OF the great
crisis, and being the father of an Amer
lean officer who lost his life on July Is,
1918. at tho second battle Of the Marne,
want to congratulate you on your edi-
torial article of May on Two Men
After Four Years"
I understand that Georges Carpenter
fought for his country, France. during
the four years of the world war; while
his coming antagonist, Jack Dempsey,
fought the draft law and by wiggling
escaped service"
It is regrettable that the freedom of
the city was extended to Jack Dempsey
by the Mayor OF Atlantic City and that
he was entertained at various luncheons
ard dinners by the citizens of Atlantic
City and by other prominent people. 1t
makes ono think that these people take
more pleasure in paying attention to a
prizefghter and Stacker than they do In
upholding the dignity and loyalty of
their own country.
Much as glory in seeing tho United
States hold supremacy in all manly
sports, think j am voicIng the senti-
ment Of every red blooded. loyal Amsri-
can in hoping that the loyal Frenchman
will In the coming contest decisivcly and
thoroughly defeat his opponent.

argument that the papers were Con-
necticut's, and neither Governor
TRUMBULL nor any of his family had
authority to give them away or to
lodge them in trust anywhere save in
the archives of the State to which
they belonged. In 1916 the Massa-
chusetts society again refused to give
up the documents.
But Connecticut persisted and
finally a committee of the historical
society, of which Senator LODGE Is q
member, reported in favor of giving
up the papers. 1t was voted to re-
turn all of the thirty bound volumes
of the papers, including one volume
made up exclusively of letters to Gov
ernor TRUMBULL written and signed
by WASHINGTON. On Friday, May 6,
last the transfer was made. The pa
pers were informally handed over to
GEORGE S. GODDARD, State Librarian of
Connecticut, with the understanding
that ceremonies befitting the event
should be arranged for another day.
Evidently it is the handsome and
the proper thing which the Massa-
chusetts Historical Society has done.
ut will be step in the right direc-
tlon in placing collections OF papers
where they belong" said the society's
committee in its report. AS to that,
there can be no more question than
there can be as to the absolute JUS
tice Of Connecticut's plea for what is
peculiarly her own.

the same position he was In when he
started walking. II we compare his move
ments with the ground. but IL we COM
pare his movements with the train he
has actually walked several hundred
feet. His knetic energy Is thus shown
to be relative. 1t exists relatively with
respect 10 the train but not actually
with respect to the ground.
He now returns to the front car. walk
ing at three miles an hour with respect
to the train. but at six miles an hour
with respect to the ground. Although
his muscular effort is the same In both
cases his kinetio energy is four times
as great when he returns to the front
car. Tho klnetio energy increases with
tho square of the velocity OF a moving
body.
The mans movements have not ac-
celcrated or retarded the train because
tho reaction to his backward movement
is equal to the reaction to his forward
movement. but he has created four units
of kinetic energy at a muscular expen-
diture OF two units of kinetic energy.
According to the timo worn theory of
the conservation OF energy this Is i'm
possible, but It is quite true according
to actual practice. The blades OF tho
aerocycle have three different speeds,
and the energy OF the air current Is null
tiplied as 1t passes through the machine
thus antedated the recent publication
OF Professor Einstein's theory
In my correspondence with the Patent
Office examiners in 1919 I advanced the
theory of the multiplication OF energy
and based my theory upon relative mo-
tion. ROBERT J. MAcLAucHLrN.

Brother Jonathan's Papers.

u After efforts covering a period of
more than seventy-five years Connec-
sucut at last gets back the papers Of
sner stanch old Revolutionary war
.Governor, JONATHAN TRUMBULL, the
original OF our national personif1ca-
stion, Brother JONATHAN. 1t was no
less a parsonage than GEORGE WASH
.rSGroN himself who thus named the
patriotic Nutmeg State Governor, lit
sie dreaming that in SO doing he was
creating an immortal allegorical per-
.sonage whose fame, features, chin
whlskers, swallowtailed coat and
high beaver hat were to be known
over all the wide world as marking
the typical representative OF the great
Country of which he. WASHINGTON,
was to be the father.
When JONATHAN TRUMBULI. died In
I7s5 he had In bis possession at his
Lebanon home a mass of documents
OF great historical value. They COW
cred the time Of his Governorship of
connecticut from 1860 to 17s3. About
all that Connecticut did from seven
years before the Declaration OF In
dependence TO the close Of the Revo-
jutlonary war was reflected in them.
There were no State depositaries for
public papers at that time. When
3ncumbents OF public offices went back

was concerned TO their homes and

3t; MILTON did II. In earlier times
the practice had held In England as
well
: SO when Governor TRUMBULL went
pack to his old birthplace home In
Lebanon, Connecticut, there to end
his days, he took these Connecticut
public documents with him. There
syas a great mass OF them and the

farly alert TO their value. Ten years

papers.
For 125 years they remained In the

toricnl Society, although as far back
as 1s45 Connecticut began her efforts
30 recover them. In that year the
General Assembly Of the State passed

Rival of Einstein.
Mr.. MacLaughlin Secured in 1914 q
Patent Involving Relatively.

To THE Nsw YonK HERALD: In 1914
I secured q patent on a centrifugal
aerocycie in which was demonstrated q
basic principle which Professor Einstein
has lately been theoretically exploiting.
I advanced tho theory that energy
was not an absolute but relative value.
Stated simply my idea was this: All
energy Is energy Of motion or hnetic
energy, and as motion is relative tho
equation OF kinctio energy has a rela-
tive factor tho solution OF which Is al
ways relative.
The idea OF tho relative value OF
energy may be illustrated by consider
ing the following case: man In the
front car of moving train walks
toward the rear car at rate OF three
miles an hour. The train Is moving for
ward at the same speed. When the man
