Mr.. Martin defeated the primary
plan at Roanoke. Here is what he
said OF it in his King George speech:
The Roanoke convention, a body of
representative Democrats, declared
against the adoption of the primary
plan at that time and in that way. If
my distinguished opponent was doing
anything in that Roanoke convention
for primary have never learned of
it, and l was fighting that primary
plan. Senator Daniel, my colleague.
was there fighting that primary plan.

parpose of striking Tom Martin down,
That plan was sprung there at Roam.
Oke under harsh and urgent circum-
stances to put me out of the Senatorial
race. If there is to beany condemna.
ton for the defeat of that plan at
Roanoke it must be on my head.
At Norfolk, four years later, he
could not defeat it. But his friends
have opposed it with the bitterest de-
nunciation, the Senator discreetIy re-
naming silent, but at heart it is be-
lieved as bitterly opposed it at Norfolk
as at Roanoke. 1t is strange if Sena-
tor Martin is now in love with a pri-
mary when. every friend of his Is op-
posed to it.

THE HORSE SHOW.

Our people will have an opportunity
to see the finest horse show this year
that We have had, and one of the finest
and most attractive in Virginia. This
show has largely taken the place of the
county fair, and is now the most at
tractive out door sport offered to our
people. If you have never seen a horse
show come to Staunton on the Sth, 9th
and 10th of August. and you will see
one. The prizes are large, the entries
will be numerous, the horses beautiful,
and nothing but rain can prevent a
hne exhibition. If you have even seen
a horse show you need no invitation.
You will be here anyhow,

Mr.. MARTIN SHINES AS AN ORATOR.

That the Hon. Thomas S.!Martin Is
an orator, debater and speaker of the
first magnitude his friends now posi-
lively assert. Suddenly, in the twink
ling of an eye, he has leaped from
oblivion as speaker and sprung to
the first rank. How has such elO-
quence, such logic, such finished ora
tory been pent up for SO long How
could Mr.. Martin hide it away. from
his friends until this moment, and
flash it on them in such binding effu-
sionp We are actually told that Mr..
Montague was mere clay in his hands,
he could use him as he pleased. He
could make him look smiling, or sor-
rowful, or grimly horrible. This is
what they tell us, and this is what We
are asked to believe, just as we were
asked to believe that Dan Lee story.
There are lots of funny stories af1oat
just now, and more are to be brought
forth, but there are many who will
never believe them.

THE TOLL GATES DOWN THE PIKE

The Valley Turnpike grows in our
estimation. One must study it to be-
come truly proud of the genius with
which it is managed. Last week We
hauled material over it which cost us
ten dollars and twelve cents, and the
toll to get that material eight miles
was just four dollars and seventy-six
cents. But the empty wagons would
have cost just as much. 1t makes no
difference about what one hauls. The
loads we speak of could have been
worth one cent, and yet the toll would
have been four dollars and seventy six
cents.
We have not travelled over the whole
pike from StauntOn to the West Vir-
ginia State line-we meyer expect to.
None but millIonaires could make the
journey. If there are three toll gates
to every eight miles, as there are on
the first eight miles out of Staunton,
We would much prefer from financial
point of view to go to California. 1t
is possibly 100 miles from Staunton to
the West Virginia line north of Win
chester-eight into one hundred goes
124 times. This would bump us up
against about SO toll gates in that
short space, if placed at the same rel
alive distance from each other as are
those on the first eight miles out of
StauntOn. When one starts over this
lovely journey he never puts his pocket
book in his pocket. He can see the
next toll collector looking out for him
before he has finished paying the last
one, so he holds his fast disappearing
cash where it is convenient to hand to
the ladylike and gentlemanlike coIlec-
tors of this Trust, :" the biggest little
trust we have ever encountered. This
trust, this carniverous trust, Rookie
Teller, and Rodgers, and Armour are
not in it, opportunities considered
just lays for StauntOn. They have
crowded their gates right up against
the town, and it makes no difference
that one is going mile they charge
full toll for section or half section, as
the case may be. Usually other cor
porations give value received, that is
they charge for what you are supposed
to get. But the turnpike company
charges not for the use of it's road, but
the use of its toll gates. Go through
one of them and you pay.
The Corporation Commission should
look into this management. for there
is something wrong somewhere, grossly
and outrageously wrong, and if our
next Senator and members of the Leg
islature do not give the afflicted public
some relief from this outrage, they
should never show their faces in A u
gusta when the session closes.

''What the Devil do the friends of
Tom Martin care about the people if
they have the machinery ~ ask his
supporters. Well, not much we are
sure. The State Central Committee
is theirs. the ''organization' in the
various counties will be dictated by
the Central Committee just as the date
of the primary was; the plan of cleo
tion will be dictated by these, the elec
ton officers will be dictated by these,
The results will very nearly be so, il
these gentlemen of the organization
can make them so, and if there is not
as great Cry of fraud and corruption
after the election is over as there was
when Gen. F'itz Lee was defeated for
the Senate, we shall be surprised. OF
course the fraud will be committed by
others than the Senatorial candidates
and not being traced directly to them
they will be absOlYed and all will be
well.

MARLIN AND SM0NT.

The lovers of Senator Martin must
feel queer over his attitude toward
Senator Smoot. the Mormon who il
trying to break into the Senate.
The Washington Post, that great
advocate of Senator Martin, which has
just taken the Virginia campaign on
its broad incorporated shoulders, re-
ports Senator Martin in his King
George speech as follows:
He vehemently discussed the case OF
Senator SmOot, and accused Governor
Montague of inaccuracy in declaring
SmOot IA bigamist. While much in
Senator Smoot s religion was abhOr-
rent to him, Mr.. Martin asserted
dramatically that, being one of the
Judges, he should try Smoot according
to the Constitution and the laws.
Should it be shown that Smoot' IS relig-
ious duties as a Mormon conflicted
with the duties of Senator, he should
favor Shoots expulsion.

ONE OF CALLERS JOKES.
Says the Surveyors Are Framing Up
An Electric Line.

From Fridays Daily.
The promoters of the Vernon Center
electric street car line are having
quiet laugh at the excitement caused
by body of engineers surveying a line
between Amboy and Good Thunder and
much speculation is INDUCED regarding
the line. and now that they have de-
cided that the Milwaukee intends to
connect the two cities by railroad we
are loath to dash their high hopes to
the ground by informing them that the
party referred to were only the corps
of civil engineers outlining the route for
the trolley Line, which is to take in
Willow Creek, Amboy and Good Thun-
der in the loop. We believe the diff
ferences between the two companies
can be harmonized since Mankato's COM
panies have all gone the way of their
predecessors and there is no prospect
of meeting the Mankato line at the
Minneopa State Park.-Vernon Center

Pedestrians and Drunken Drivers.

Last evening shortly after seven
o'clock farmer under the influence OF
liquor made spectacle of himself on
South Front street, and continued the
exhibition on Cherry and Broad streets
With a warhoop the drunken fellow
turned his horses from Front into
Cherry street, unmindful of pedestrians
who were crossing that thoroughfare
In fact several people came very near
" being run down by this liquor soak
ed individual. Up Cherry street the
horses went at gallop and it was
lucky that no one else was driving on
that street at the time, otherwise an
accident might have followed The out
fit with its load of Indian whisky turn
ed into Broad street and was soon lost
sight of.
The Free Press does not know who
this man was, nor does it care to know,
but this paper does advocate the arrest
and punishment of fellows who endan-
ger the lives of people who are crossing
the streets. Some drivers do not seem
to appreciate the fact that pedestrians
have rights, and only session in the
police court and a heavy fine will serve
to bring them up with a round turn.

WILLIAM HAYDEN DEAD.
Former NicoIIet County Auditor Sue
cumbs to Bright's Disease.

From Fridays Daily.
Word was received at st. Peter We'd
nesday of the death of William G. Hay
den, one of Nicollet county's pioneer
settlers, which occurred That morning at
his home in Minneapolis after an illness
with Bright's disease. Mr.. Hayden was
born i'll Syracuse, n. Y, in 1884 and
when II young man went to NIassa-
chusetts, where he learned to manufac-
ture cutlery. In 1857 he came west to
ST. Peter and thereafter never follow
ed his trade, but found more profitable
employment as expert accountant He
was married to Miss Foot, daughter
of John Foot, one of the city's early
merchants, and upon her death was re-
married to- Miss Belle Rugg, a sister to
Mrs Alex. Bossuot During the Indian
outbreak of 1862 the deceased volun-
teered for duty with Judge Flandrau
and helped repulse the attacks on New
Ulm. In the same year he was elected
auditor of Nicollet county and served for
three terms, until 1868, and later was a
member of the first state board of
equalization under the present law. In
1881 he went to Fargo, \. d., was au
ditor of the city for a time and then
public examiner of the state of North
Dakota, also serving as secretary of
the commission that divided the Dako-
tas. Mr. Hayden leaves four children,

favorable place for promoting peace be-
tween these tribes.
Not much thanks or praise can be
awarded to Groseillers and Radisson
for their being the earliest Europeans
on the upper Minnesota. for they failed
to discern the important geographic
significance of the great river, and de-
signedly concealed from their country
men, so far rs possible, all knowledge
of their travels. If we may compare
this inland region with the much grand
er discovery of the continent, the ex-
petitions of these first pioneers seem
somewhat like the unfruitful voyages
of the old Northman, reaching our
northern shores, but not understanding
the value of their work, long before the
purposeful voyage of Columbus, which,
though indeed with the belief that the
islands found were merely outliers of
farther India, gave to civilization Il new
hemisphere. With similar intelligence
and patriotism came Joliet and Mar
quette, to whom, second on the upper
Mississippi, in 1913, belongs rightly, as
/ believe, the highest honor of its dis
covery, because they made known what
they found Let the glory of praise and
gratitude, which during more than two
centuries has been accorded to them
continue with undiminished luster in
the minds of future generations. Like
wise, let the names of Du Luth and of
Hennepin and his companion be held in
lasting honor for their being the first
white men to make known their explor-
ations in Minnesota.
But we should also commemorate the
work, so long concealed from historians,
by which Groseilliers and Radisson APP
pear earlier to have reached this mighty
river, and to have first seen the fair
country that nearly two centuries later
became our territory and state.
In conclusion, it must be acknow
lodged that very diverse opinions have
been expressed by many writers con
corning the routes and dates of the wes-
tern expeditions of Groseiliers and Rad
isson, so that the present writer cannot
expect his studies to be accepted with
out challenge and adverse discussions.
1t will yet require probably many years
for historians to reach a general agree
ment as to the Interpretation of Raids
sons uncouth but exceedingly interest
ing narratives of these expeditions.
Careful studies of this subject during
seven years have led me to believe, with
full confidence, that the arguments and
results here presented are true, and
that they will ultimately be so received
by all students of our northwestern
history.

1t was finally decided that large
company, about 800" as Radisson
says, ''all stout men," should accom-
pany the traders in their desired return
carrying in canoes to Quebec vast
freight of most valuable furs. The de-
pressed fur trade, which had languished
since the defeat and exile of the Hurons
in 1G4950, was revived, and all the col
onists of Montreal, Three Rivers and
Quebec, welcomed the traders and their
Indian retinue with great rejoicing.
In a second western expedition, three
years later, Groseiliers and Radisson
voyaged along the south shore of Lake
Superior to Chequamegon bay, and trav-
eled in to the central northern part of
Minnesota, during the winter and spring
of l659-60, being then the first Europe
ans to visit the Sioux.
