Ohio Cup Festival

This weekend, the Ohio Village Muffins and the Lady Diamonds

will host The Ohio Cup, the premier annual baseball festival. The

Ohio Cup features 30 teams from around Ohio and the Midwest

including Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New

York and Pennsylvania. The two-day event features exciting games

with each team playing 3 games per day in a timed event on 4

different fields, including the Ohio Village field.

The Ohio Cup is the largest gathering of small-town baseball

teams in the country and they come together for one reason: to

celebrate America’s pastime the way it was meant to be played.

Festivities will start at 6 PM on Friday and continue Saturday and

Populists,

Progressive

Democrats, and

Progressive

Republicans Join

Forces Their Plan to Make

America Better

In an effort to cope with the

ever- changing world created by

industrialization reformers have

called for liberal means to achieve

conservative goals. These

reformers want the idealized

America of the past that was

characterized by democracy and

equal opportunity for all. In

general they would like a better

life for all. How is that to be

achieved? Society has changed

since the Civil War and the

government needs to adapt to a

new role. It should take the lead in

curbing corporate privilege and

limiting the power of the few. In

other words, create a level playing

field. The way to do that is by

putting the government back in the

hands of the people. More

democracy can be the cure for

many of the country’s ills. The

Australian (secret) ballot is one

way to accomplish this. Since

Massachusetts first used a secret

ballot in 1888 it has spread to

several other states with much

success. Now it is time for the

entire nation to embrace this idea.

Pan American

Exposition Coming

The Pan American Exposition is

being organized by the Pan-American

Exposition Company, which was

formed in 1897. Cayuga Island was

initially chosen as the place to hold

the Exposition because of the island's

proximity to Niagara Falls, which is a

huge tourist attraction. When

the Spanish–American War broke out

in 1898, plans were put on hold. After

the war, there was a heated

competition between Buffalo

and Niagara Falls over the location.

Buffalo won for two main reasons.

First, Buffalo has a much larger

population—with roughly 350,000

people, it is the eighth-largest city in

the United States. Second, Buffalo

has better railroad connections—the

city is within a day's journey by rail

for over 40 million people. In July

1898, Congress pledged $500,000 for

the Exposition to be held at Buffalo.

The "Pan American" theme will be

carried throughout the event with the

slogan "commercial well-being and

good understanding among the

American Republics." The advent of

the alternating current power

transmission system in the US will

allow designers to light the

Exposition in Buffalo using power

generated 25 miles away at Niagara

Falls. The 1901 Exposition is

expected to rival, if not surpass the

1893 World's Columbian

Exposition held in Chicago to

celebrate the 400th anniversary

of Christopher Columbus's arrival in

the New World in 1492.

Poet Edwin Markham on Tour Edwin Markham's most famous

poem, "The Man with the Hoe,"

which accents laborers' hardships,

was first presented at a public

poetry reading early this year. His

main inspiration was a French

painting of the same name (in

French, L'homme à la houe)

by Jean-François Millet.

Markham's poem was published,

and it became quite popular very

soon. In New York, he has given

many lectures to labor groups.

These have happened as often as

his poetry readings. Now he is

traveling across the country

sharing his poetry as well as his

ideas on the labor issues facing the

nation. It is anticipated that his

tour will include Columbus.

Allow people to vote their

conscience free from the watchful

eye and pressure of a boss or

union leader. Through a direct

primary the voters, rather than the

bosses, would nominate each

party’s candidates for office in the

general election. Through the use

of referendums and initiative

petitions the voters could directly

propose or reject new laws. With the

use of recall elections the people

would have the power to remove

corrupt politicians. An amendment to

the constitution could also allow the

people to directly elect their US

senators and take their selection out

of the hands of the rich and

influential. Another amendment could

greatly expand the participation in the

electoral process by allowing women

to vote. Reformers from both parties

are joining together to try and forge a

better America by pushing for many

of these changes as we move into the

20th century.

Fantasies

of Flight

For many centuries, humans

have tried to fly just like the birds

and have studied the flight of

birds. Wings made of feathers or

light weight wood have been

attached to arms to test their

ability to fly. The results were

often disastrous as the muscles of

the human arms are not like a

birds and cannot move with the

strength of a bird. In the past few

years several pioneers have come

as close as man ever has to this

dream. German engineer, Otto

Lilienthal, studied aerodynamics

and worked to design a glider that

would fly. Otto Lilienthal was the

first person to design a glider that

could fly a person and was able to

fly long distances. Otto Lilienthal

was fascinated by the idea of

flight. Based on his studies of

birds and how they fly, he wrote a

book on aerodynamics that was

published in 1889. After more

than 2500 flights, Otto Lilienthal

was killed when he lost control

because of a sudden strong wind

and crashed into the ground.

Samuel Langley is a physicist and

astronomer who realized that

power was needed to help man fly.

Langley conducted experiments

using whirling arms and steam

motors. He built a model of a

plane, which he called an

aerodrome, that included a steam-

powered engine. In 1891, his

model flew for 3/4s of a mile

before running out of fuel.

Samuel Langley received a

$50,000 grant to build a full sized

aerodrome. It was too heavy to fly

and it crashed. He was very

disappointed and he gave up trying

to fly. Octave Chanute is a

successful engineer who has

undertaken the invention of

airplanes as a hobby, after being

inspired by Otto Lilienthal.

Chanute has designed several

aircraft, the Herring - Chanute

biplane has been his most

successful design. Octave

Chanute published "Progress in

Flying Machines" in 1894. It

gathered and analyzed all the

technical knowledge that he could

find about aviation

accomplishments. It included all

of the world's aviation pioneers.

Now it is reported that two

brothers in Dayton, Ohio are

building upon the knowledge

accumulated by these early

pioneers to attempt their own

quest for manned flight. Orville

and Wilbur Wright, operating out

of their bicycle shop, have been

doing their own experiments with

different glider designs. They feel

that they have made sufficient

enough progress that they are

planning to go to Kitty Hawk,

North Carolina in the next year or

two to experiment with full-scale

gliders. This location was chosen

because of the constant winds that

blow off the ocean there. This

wind will be necessary in order to

lift the large glider into the air.

This will be very dangerous work.

Is this silliness worth the risk as

man attempts to achieve his dream

of flying like a bird. As some

have said, “If man were meant to

fly then the good Lord would have

given him wings.”

“Imperialism”

By Vincent Howard

Lo, ye are weak and ignorant,

While we are strong and great;

And so, in Christian Charity,

We’ve come to rule your State.

We’ve come to criticize ye, and

We’ve come to teach ye pray.

Bow down, bow down, ye savages,

Or else we need must slay.
