been constructed, which shall be en-
tirely of reinforced concrete, except
for such minor items as doors and

Cement Age, makes a house which is

mot GUILTY. ~

Such was the verdict of the jury
in the Haywood trial. But despite
the verdict of the jury there will
continue to be biased minds that
will hold that he aud the other Off
cials of the Western Federation of
Miners charged along with him
were criminally associated in a con.
spirarcy to murder Governor Steu-
nenberg and others, just as there
are on the other hand thousands
who, if the vedrict had been guilty,
would have believed him innocent
and martyr to the cause of organ
lied labor.
The side of the prosecution had
no ground upon which TO stand in
absence of the story of confessedly
one of the most degenerate Grim
inals that ever lived, whose crimes
range from petty thievery to grand
larency, bigamy, wife desertion,
arson, and premeditated murder
and cowardly assassination. His
claim and story that he was the
hired assassin of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and that he was
paid for his diabolical work with
money advanced to him by its Off
cials, thus associating in his crimes
Haywood, Meyer and PettibOne. was
the basis of the prosecutions tes-
timony. But his revolving story
was not sufficiently corroborated to
connect Haywood with the conspir-
acy charged, and the jury did both
its heart and Judgment honor in
asquitting him. The testimony
aside from Orchards story was not
sufficient.

own domestic affairs. If any State
enacts law contrary to the spirit
aud intent of the fundamental law
of our country, and the issue is
brought before a Federal court,
that court may declare it unconsti-
tutional, and if the Supreme Court
of the United States uphods its
decision the law becomes dead and
imperative; but no Federal court
should have authority to simply |
enjoin the enforcement of State
law without going thoroughly into I,

Good Roads Moyment.

The impression seems to have
been made in some localities tnat
the proposed State highway from
st. Louis to Kansas City, which
has been discussed in the public
press recently, will interfere with
the work of road improvement in
other counties. We wish to cor
rect this impression by stating that
the State Highway Engineer has
been authorized by the State Board
of Agriculture to answer all appli-
cations for his services from the
different counties of the State as
promptly as his time will permit.
He is on salary and his services are
free to the different counties upon
application.
The money appropriated by the
last Legislature for the different
counties cannot be used for the
purpose of constructing a state
road. The war fund, which gives
to each county about 81, 100. has
already been distributed by the
State Treasurer. This fund may
be used for any road purpose at the
discretion of the county court.
The 100000 appropriated from
the general revenue fund by the
last Legislature will be apportioned
to the different counties on the ba-
sis of assessed valuation, giving
approximately ski enths of a mill
on the dollar of assessed valu.
alton, for each county. Thus, a
county whose assessed valuation is
ten million will get $4,000 from
this fund; hut this is conditioned
on the county, road district, or in
dividuals Of the county coutribut-
ing like sum.
The State highway, if it is built,
must be built by other funds, and
the proposition is to organize the
country along the proposed line of
road under the special road district
law of 1905 and raise the money by
making benefit assessments on the
land near the proposed route. A
road may be built in any part of
the State under this law, and the
expense extended over period of
twenty years, thus costing not
more than II to 10 cents per acre
per year on the land taxed for that
purpose. This is such low rate
of taxation that any community,
where the land is valuable for agri-
cultural purposes, can afford to
build an improved highway with
out feeling it burdensome.
We wish to again give notice
that the services of the State High
way Engineer, Mr.. Curtis Hill,
Columbia. Mo-, may be secured by
application to this Office. He will
respond to requests for giving in

FEDERAL COURT INJUNCTIONs.

Federal Judge Prichard, adher-
ing to the Capitalization policy of
President Roosevelt, undertook to
interfere with the enforcement of
North Carolina State law regulat.
ing railroad rates. The railroads
had through its agents ignored and
violated the law and arrests and
convictions followed. Judge Prich.
ard interviewed and issued an inter.
medltary injunction against the
enforcement of the law. The State
authorities resisted this interfer-
ence and a clash between the State
and Federal governments was i'm
minent; but the tirmness of Gov
ernor Glenn finally forced the dis
solution of Judge Prichard's in.
junction, and the question of the
constltutlonallty OF the law will be
taken to the Supreme Court, where
it is to be hoped this issue of sus.
pending State laws by interlocutory
injunctions, at the behest of
aggrieved corporations, will be
settled according to the spirit and
intent of our dual form of govern
ment.
1t is the same question that arose
in this State over the enforcement
of the two cent passenger rate law,
in which Judge Mcrnerson exer-
cised the discretion of suggesting
a three-months trial of the law to
determine whether it was, as the
railroads claimed. confscatory, and
the suggestion was accepted.
There is no dispute that a Fed
eral court may declare a State law
unconstitutional and the issue may
then be carried to the Supreme
Court Of the United States for Anal
decision; but it is questionable
