Caesar and the Empire

. The reason why the Roman EN-.
pire succeeded the republic" was that
there was felt TO be an urgent need of
a strong central power. For many
years the republic mad been desolated
and the cry OF the whole people was
for peace-peace almost at any price.
Now. peace could be secured only by
the ascendancy OF a single man, rul.
ing with absolute and irresistible
sway. So the people acquiesced In the
change. They even hailed 1t with toy.
A few patriots like Brutus and Cato
gave up in despair. but most men
were pleased with the revolution
which made Caesar supreme. Not
that they were monarchistic at heart.
but that after the devastating strife
they wanted peace, even though It be
at the sacrifice of some OF their liber
ties.

Good and Bad Composition.

A writer in the London Daily Chron-
icle has revived the old dispute as to
the finest line in English poetry. He
quotes Prof. Churton Collins as Civ.
ing the palm to line in Swinburne's
Tristan and Iseult." the line that
says: And all their past came wall
Ing in the wind" Certainly that is a
great line. but the real difficulty, says
the Chronicle scribe, is to find the
worst line rather than the best. And
then he tells us of contest between
Tennyson and FITZGERALD as to who
could write the weakest imaginable
Wordsworthian line. They succeeded
IN producing: "A Mr.. Wilkinson, a
clergyman" FITZGERALD and Tennyson
each claimed this fine effort and the
point is still undecided. Can any one
else do better than this?

had an experience Friday which
they will not want to repeat and
incidentally Clyde Heller demons
trated that he is an expert with
the shovel. On Thursday last J.
K. Turner, the GoIdfield mining
engineer, Clyde A. Heller. presi-
dent of the Tonopah Belmont and
Jim Butler Mining companies and
wealthy Philadelphia, whom
anyone would take for a prime
tenderfoot, and Frederick Brad
shaw, general superintendent of
the Tonopah Belmont, left here in
Mr.. Bradshaw's car for the south,
driven by the Belmont company
chauffeur.
The party spent the night at
Rhyolite and leaving there at 5
o'clock Friday morning started
for BalIarat, west of the Panamint
rsnge of mountains, Inyo county,
California. To reach that thriv-
ing town from Rhyolite it is nee
essary. to cross Death Valley at the
Hole in the WALL" going to the
right of Skidoo and bound for
Emigrant Springs. They expected
to reach Ballarat that evening.
In Death Valley the wind blows.
Mr.. Heller en- vouch for that
and explains in manner most
graphic and expressive just how
hard it blows. Mr.. Bradshaw also
is impressed with the same fact
and declares he is going to get
him a 90-horshpower car that can
travel through the sand o. that
romantic and torrid depression
in the earth's contour. At a point
eighteen miles from the nearest
water at tn, edge of the valley
and to or three miles from
Mesquite Flat and from S.ovep'pe

level and where little moisture
can be obtained in a so called we'll,
after cleaning it of dead mice,
rats and side-winders, the tired
auto came 20 stop and refused
to bulge.
The Saad in the alley blows
like drifting snow. A plain road
becomes obliterated in an hour or
less and great impossible drifts
rise to the height of a house where
before there was a fiat plain.
The travellers re5orted to shovel
ing; they wound ropes about the
wheels and finally Debated the
tires. They knew the trick of lay
ing canvas ahead of the machine
but the wind was too strong for
them to hold down the canvas the
and sand blew cutting blizzard,
filling in before the wheels as fast
as it could be shoveled out and
giving the comp!ec lion a sand papor
fish.
For most Of the day the travellers
worked under the scorching sun.
The water was getting low and it
was feared the FREEDMEN would be
compelled to hike back t. the Hole
in the Wall. Finally, by lifting,
shoveling, coaxing and ours ing,
the machine was turned about and
the trip was successfully made
back to Rhyolite. At the hotel
there Mr.. Heller secured copy Of
the Goldfield Tribune with a re-
port that he had attended a ban
quet at the Goldfeld hotel the
evening before.

to express himself in true Nevadt

LOWELL WILL

Stephen A. Lowell, of Pendleton,
who was DEBATED by Ben Selling in
the race for nomination on the Repub-
llcan ticket for United States senator,

eral election campaign, This promise
was made by Mr.. Lowell in the follow
ing letter received yesterday by Mr..
Selling.
"I congratulated Mr.. Cake six years
ago upon his nomination as candidate
for senator, and then found that his
supposed victory was dead sea fruit.
Therefore, l have waited in your case
until the result of the election seemed
Interchangeable.
"Permit me now to extend my con-
gratulations and to asure you Of my
support. l have been a candidate
against you and am defeated, but |

accept defeat smilingly. At this juno
ture in public affairs it seems to me
important to public interest that the
results of the primary be accepted in
good faith by all Republlcans-al men
who believe in the substantial prln,

which the party was founded. 1t may
have drifted away from its landmarks
