Yesterdays Tragedy

n MOTHER Of that hardy and adventur-
1 Gus race to whom the world owes its
astonishing progress in n new science and,
i'll large measure. its escape from an en-
veloping autocracy, has fallen prematurely
to cruel mischance. In the case OF young
William Austin Sydnor, Jr., who was yes
tcrday hurled to peculiarly shocking
death at Westhampton, tho perils and the
sacrifices OF this race are pressed with UNI
usual force upon the minds of Richmond
people; and in his fall are the elements of
more than an ordinary misadventure.
Fresh from the field of training, where
he had earned and received recognition as
one qualified for membership in the daunt-
less company 10 which he aspired, he had
set his course toward the familiar door of
those to whom his hopes, his triumphs and
his safety were matters of intimate and at
iectonate concern. And while he lowered
above this scene Of eager waiting while
familiar faces were turned upward in pride
wonderment and anxiety, spectral passen-
ger took seat at his side. The controls
passed to an unseen hand. And swiftly the
descent was made TO an act of death upon
stage that had been set for gladness and
welcome.
Not merely because the poignantly touch
ing tragedy was enacted here, but more
largely because of the ties that bound the
young flier to our people. Richmond shares
with North Carolina the privilege of mourn
ing the loss of q heroic SON.

Explorers Use Radio

The Importance OF wireless to cx-

'ar back "s 1915. Tho story Of the
so-cniled Machu picchu Peruvian
Joint expedition OF the National Geo
graphical Society and Yale Univcr-
s!,y was told by Professor Hiram
Bingham OF Yale. who directed the
expedition.
Previous expeditions In 1911 ana
1912. II seems. had met with serious
diihculti"s because or the ina,ie-
quacy OF the maps furnished by the
Peruvian government. The pioneers
had run into large areas OF terri
tory that were SO completely unex-
piored rs To have nor even been rep
resented on the maps
Thus II was thought advisable 10
send out Typographical parties In
1918 In advance OF the expedition
experts whose tasks II would be TO
prepare maps. ON Hhipbonrd chro-
nometers are regularly used TO de-
termine longitude. Those very deli

CruCifying the InSurgcntS

eminent leaders of the Republican party in
| Congress are threatening 10 brand as trait
Ors those bold spirits who disregard the
mandates OF caucuses, who engage in fill
busters and do not agree that political
platform is sacred sCreed.
Representative Fordney, whose adventure
in ciowning in the recent Wilson episode
cost him heavily in esteem and respect in
the House, has asserted that if he had his
way he would brand every insurgent as dis
loyal upon blackboard large enough for
the moon to bay at" Representative
Chandler. Fordney lieutenant, has echoed
his boss, threat, adding that he would throw
the insurreCtos out of public life if he could
command the Republican vote in their re-
Spective districts.
Old Guard Senators, notably Senator
Townsend who conducted the defense of
Senator Newberry, believe in applying the
cloture to the members Of the Senate, Re
pubicans as we'll as Democrats, who use
that body as forum for the free discus
sion Of anything and everything that the in
dividual might wish to talk about Senator
Shortridge is equally positive that the Sen
ate will never be able TO get results until a
slencer q mu fiier is applied To his over
voluble colleagues.
These expressions are not the first COM
paints that have issued from Republican
sources on the subject of party dsloyalty or
party pertidy," as another Grover Cleve-
land might describe insurgency. President
Harding himself has repeatedly inveighed
against thes tendency OF legislators to or
ganize blocs and groups and clQues in which
party lines are erased. He has reminded his
fellow Republicans that this is "A govern

is a recognition OF party responsibility.
Apparently the growing group of Repub-
lican insurgents. however is unimprcssed by
the warnings that proceed from the Old
Guard camp. Senator Borah, leader OF the
Senate rebels. replies that to brand him as
"A disloyalist is to pay him "A tremendous
