(From Collier’s . Weekly)
A powerful American inventor
fell ^fore a needless American
disease. Whence the fever came
is uncertain, but perhaps twenty
years of a life, valuable above
others, might have remained had
our cities met the advancing
standards of our time. Whether
an obcure atom in that tragedy
which shawdows all, or a Wilbur
Wright, understanding Nature
and thereby sonquering her, man
_ passes like a flash into the ever
lasting flux . He who labors un
known may somewhat brighten
the radius of his obscure and
tiny, the man of genius in his
talents and his character, has a
farther leach, and may be for
millions not only a' practical
helper but a spiritual guide.
Wiibur Wright was both. He
studied, obeyed, and thefeby
Mastered the forces ’ of the air:
and in his,quiet persistence he
was the moidel of a man. In all
the« stretches of this continent
you shall riot find a more satisfy
ing picture. These brothers,
patient, simple and triumphant^
Wilson, 1^0 &3ftighty things, and never
117 1-2; speak an unwise word: dauntless
’’themselves, they rebuke £09!-
hardinefs that i^ the parody of
courage. Averse by taste and
judgement to the search for
thrills, to any search for mob
applause, they escape any single
quality that could belittle their
epoch-making conquests, earned
the shop at Dayton, tested along
the quiet dunes at Kitty Hawk,
soon by the world only when the
victory was comflete. The
Wrights will go into history as
men who have shed a rounded
glory; the brilliancy of genius
with the sturdiness of character
the seizure of the unknown with
the integrity which makes na
tions great.

OFFICIAL PROGRAM
FOURTH of
Celebration
Asheville, June 28.—It
doubtful if Col. Roosevelt
any more ardent supporters
mong thxe rank and file of the Re-
pubhcaa 'party than in western
North Carolina and it is cer tain
that there are many here who
would follow even to the break
ing of party ties that have bound
them all their lives. Already
the “bandanna" is to be ssen
on the streets. H«wever, they
seem to be in a rather unsettled
state. With, "the Colonel" they
are playing a waiting game and
the leaders do not try to hide the
fact that they are waiting on his
next move. They say it is all
they can do.
The case of Col. V. S. Lusk is
little short of pathetic. He has
been a strong partisan for 50 or
6o years and has fought to the
last ditch in many of political
battles. His is almost an isolat
ed ease in the respect that he
has been fed but little pie. He
is a Republican for the party's
sake, and it will be painful as
vivisection for him to leave the
regular organization. However,
he doubtless believes that the
organization is leaving him and
not the organization and in
his continued support of T. R.
will insist that he is still support
ing the 7 arty.
Colonel Lusk declares that
come what would, he would not
support Taft He said that he
could not consistently or con-
sciently do it; that he has been
fulminating SE^nst theft for
yeai« and he cannot support a
stolen nomination. This state
ment was accompanied by langu
age of such strength as to leave
no doubt as to Colonel Lusk's
sincerity.
Colonel Lusk is one of the
few that will talk. Most of the
Roosevelt men are not saying
much. They seem to be in the
position of fearing to commit
themselves: that they may take
a stand that they may have to
retire from.
The Democrats are a little
skeptical with reference to Roose
velt's supporters sticking to him;
if he heads a new party. Most
of them are of the opinion
in the end they will ail gO home
to roost as they al ways have dorie.
Probably most of the Republi
cans here as elsewhere do not
I really know what they will do.
i They have never had such con-
iditions to face before snd they
• are proceeding carefully.
