Wilbur Wright Dead and Legacy in Flight History
The obituary notes Wilbur Wright’s death in Dayton and credits him with founding aerial navigation ideas. It praises his pioneering work shaping aviation while suggesting the airship may become a universal practical tool in the future. The passage shifts to remarks by Henry M.

The Indianapolis race incident is briefly recalled, then reference to arnica, first aid supplies for the Republican convention, and speculates on Roosevelt’s enemies.
