Earliest NEWSPAPER,

The first daily newspaper was a
manuscript letter written by sal
aried correspondents and forward
ed by them every twenty-four hours
from London to the provinces.
That was in the days of the ear
y Stuarts. During the common
wealth these letters were printed in
type and circulated in large num-
bers. Even so long ago as 1850 the
law OF libel was such as to be char
acterized by Judge Scroggs as max
ing any newspaper publication lille
gal and tending to provoke a breach
of the peace.

They Praise Us.

some OF Oul SdileJ hSiSh Shboi
hoods might we'll learn a lesson
from the mountain towns and
communities.
Idaho Springs for instance,
is lust now furnishing US a good
example of pluck and energy not
often displayed oy any commun-
ity- and never known in the val
leys within the recent memory OF
man except in the most perfume
tory way.
This is in the matter of road
building.
Idaho Springs had road lead
ing over one Of ter highest
mountains. The grade was aw-
full. 1t was so steep that it was
almost inaccessible, and yet for
years it was the only one serving
the town from that direction. 1t
was great handicap to the
town.
At last come Of the progressive
spirits started campaign to have
an entirely new road built reduc-
ing the grade to not more than
six percent at any stretch. The
road is entirely new, at no point
being closer than one-fourth mile
to the old one.
The work was started and was
progressing nicely. But the mon
ey was exhausted and it lacked
considerable OF being completed.
1t was hoped that about So, 900
could be raised from the state
highway COM mmission but not long
ago it was found that this
amount or no part of it was
availa BILE. The enterprise was at
a standstili.
But Idaho Springs did not sit
down and fold its hands with the
sad expression that ''it's no use
Voluntary subscriptions of funds
and work were called for at a
mass meeting, with the result
that the road will be completed.
And the real point in this con-
nection is that laboring men,
miners, with only their Jobs as
their interest in the place pledged
50 many days labor. Some are
even having to work on Sunday
to fulfill their pledges but they
are doing it. Bankers, merch ants
mine owners, miners, priests and
preachers, mingle together out on
the mountain side breaking rocks
laying them into place and
shovellng dirt to fill up the chinks
This is the cooperation of the
sort that brings callousess but
it also brings results in road
construction. All classes have
quit erumbllng about roads and
gone to building them.
All of these people, except
many of the miners employed at
day labor could have Justly re-
marked: We pay taxes for build
ing roads. Why should We get
OFT and do this work?'
But they did not take this view
OF the matter. They all telt that
the road would be a benefit TO
the man coming into town as
"ell to the one going out and they
all took d Just pride tn doing
something to help benefit the com
munity.
Down here in the valley if you
ask the average farmer owning
his own land to help build road
lie goes straight up in the air.
When he alights be jerks out a
few oaths and alor & with it makes
it plain that he pays taxes for that
purpose and he does mt propose
to build any roads for them city
guys to ride over with pleasure.
