IDEAL AUTOMOBILE ROAD
The trip from Laramie to Saratoga. via
Woods Landing. Mountain Home.
North Park end down the
North Platte one never
10 be forgotten

5erVeu DOO5ClnS on lt5 own merits
it is the trip from Laramie or
Hermosa, acros the mountains,
into this valley, via Woods Land
ing, Mountain Home, Pinkhamp-
ton and down the North Platte
river to Saratoga. There is not
a monoton Gus mile IF road in the
whole distance and the roads are
simply ideal. You can spin along
for miles and miles and never
strike a rock, or encounter an ir-
rigating ditch which has overflow
ed into the road. The scenery is
always enchanting. The road is
either directly approaching the
mountains, traversing them, or
winding along between ranges, all
the way and there no is point that
is not beautiful and attractive.
And so far as the road itself is
concerned there never was a
boulevard that had been graded,
leveled, build up especially for
automobile travel, that could dis
count it in excellence. This is
what every one says who has
driven a car over it and this un-
animous testimony is the very best
evidence that any one can need
who wishes to travel over a fine
mountain road, where there is
good camping, fishing and hunting
on almost every mile of the way.
A party of Saratoga people had
occasion to make the trip to Lara
ME and back recently They
went down via Elk Mountain and
outside of the disagreeable troub-
les caused by irrigated lands,
found a very good road, but on
their return they came across the
mountains via the above route and
below are some notes furnished
the Sun by one of the party, to
whom we are indebted for the ex-
cellent write-up of the road and
its many attractions. The letter
follows:
No doubt one of the finest, as
we'll as one of the most beautiful,
automobile roads in the state is
the one from Cheyenne to Sara
toga via Laramie, Woods Landing
Mountain Home and Riverside.
From Cheyenne to Laramie the
roads are in SPLENDID condition,
and one not having crossed the
Laramie plains can realize the en-
joyment of riding where there
isen't a rock or swail to cause one
to slacken speed for hours at a
time.
After leaving Laramie you face
the mountains all the while, and
they grow larger and grander as
you come nearer, until at last
they rise like sentinels and tower
above you. There are q number
of lakes along the road, so placid
and blue and they reflect the
mountains so clearly that you can
hardly tell which are mountains
and which reflection.
The first Of natures many beau
tiful attractions after leaving the
level plains, is the Laramie river
one of the most beautiful streams
in the west. You are constantly
passing beautiful homes that
nestle in amongst the trees along
the river giving M a of Sc.
curity and help in time of need.
One can also secure lodging il
desired as some are resorts for
hunting and fishing parties Of
which there are many in the sum-
mer time. The road also crosses
the great Pioneer Canal, which il
certainly a point of interest 1t
carries as large a head of watel
, to the thirsty lands out on the
Laramie plains as do the small
| stream.

We never stop to think that we may be the
next victim, or that our wives and children
may be.
And yet-18o,oo0 victims Of railroad mis-
management would cover the field Of Gettys-
burg or of Waterloo with twice as many
victims as actually fell there.
Add to this fearful sum total the lives
that are lost in the mills, in the mines, in the
sweat-shops, in the canning factories and in
the packing houses and you will only begin
to have some idea Of the way in which our
monarchs of modern finance have built their
palaces on human skulls.

The engineer who is made to run more than
sixteen consecutive hours, is source of peril,
due solely to the greed of the management
The accidents due to defective rails, ties
and bridges are traceable to the same source.
The grade-crossings on the streets or on the
country highway set their death traps for the
unwary, because INSCRIPTIONS managers have
found it cheaper to kill human beings than
to maintain life preserving conditions
Nowhere else on this earth are the corpora
tons allowed to destroy human life as they do
in these United States
1t seems impossible to arouse public opinion
upon the subject.

Mr.. Brantley voted for the bill.
Had he voted the other way no true bill

He took "a very active part against me-

What it is that the Rev. Lee Brantley has
against me, cannot imagine. Why any Bap-
list preacher should help the popish priests
to persecute me, and perhaps ruin me, can
not conceive.
The alleged obscene matter for which I
was arrested was some Latin questions con-
tanned in the Roman Catholic textbook that
has been going through the mails for several
generations.
They are the questions which priests are
instructed to ask women in the privacy of the
confessional box.
Why should a Baptist preacher help the
Roman priests in srppressing one of the most
horrible secrets?
Why should Baptist preacher help the
pope's nainions to howl down a brother

Champ Clark and Oscar Underwood should
not present to President Wilson the same
Tariff Bills they presented to President Taft.
Taft ruined himself by vetoing those Bills.
Champ Clerk came mighty near being nom
mated for the Presidency because he helped
Underwood put those Bills through Congress.
They were the Farmers Free List Bill, in
which 1t was proposed that nearly every thing
the farmer has to buy would be left untaxed.
There was the Free Wool Bill, by which
everybody was to get cheaper clothing.
There was the Cotton Goods Bill, under
which there would be lower prices for calico,
homespun and cotton cloth Of all kinds.
There was the Metals Bill. bv which the
enormous profits of the Steel Trust should be
cut down.
There was the Excise Tax upon which all
those enjoying net incomes of $4,000 were
to pay something toward the support of the
Government, under whose favoring laws these
large net incomes are made
ALI these measures were passed up to Taft
He vetoed them, and he thereby lost out
completely with the American people
Now 1t seems to me, as a matter of COM
mon fairness, that these same laws should be
put up to Woodrow Wilson
Underwood and Clark claimed that those
bills had been prepared with the utmost care
and delberation.
Every manufacturer was given the fullest
hearing.
The attorneys and lobbyists of the manu-
facturers presented their facts and their argu-
ments.
The debates in the open sessions Of Con
gress were very full and exhaustive of the
subject
The Democratic press endorsed those bills.
Democratic campaigners eulogized them IN
the highest terms.
The voters endorsed them at the polls
Woodrow Wilson was understood to be
heartily in favor Of them
The Baltimore Convention was understood
to endorse them.
Therefore, there is a contract between the
Democratic leaders and the people
That contract must be kept, otherwise the
ascendency of the Democratic party will be
as short-ived as the once great popularity Of

L grieves me, to have to confess to you that
We Democrats have fully decided among
ourselves to sting you one more time.
You see, it is this way: We needed money
to buy votes, newspapers and other moral in
Huences, and of course we had to apply to the
men who had the money.
You couldn't expect us to get blood out Of
turn1p, and our average man hasn't any
surplus gold-reserve
We were compelled to resort to such men as
Cyrus Mccormick, of the Harvester Trust, to
Guggenheim Of the Shelter Trust to Jacob
Schiff Of the Money Trust, and other patriots
OF similar stripe.
They came down with their cash, to the
tune Of more than million dollars, and this
campaign Doodle had an celebrating effect
upon voters, newspapers and others whose
help we needed.
The Republicans being divided, couldn't get
much money.
The wise old managers of the Trusts saw
that united Democracy would defeat
divided Republicanisn, consequently our cam
paign fund was the biggest of all, and the
beauty Of it was, that we kept that fact hid
from the country until our victory was as
sured.
Since the election, however, We are both
cred.
We hardly know what to do.
In fact, We are about as much divided now,
as the Republicans were.
We roundly scored old Taft for signing the
Aldrich Bill
That law doubled the cost of living.
There is no telling how many men, women
and children have starved to death under it.
Before the election, We denounced it in I'M
measured terms, just as we used to denounce
Mckinley Bill.
But since the election, things look different
to us.
We are gradually changing our minds.
We may not tinker very much with the
Aldrich Bill, after We get in.
Getting in changes the point of view, you
know.
We are admonished by some of the patriots
who financed US, that we must 90 slow.
We must not rudely disturb business.
CYRUS Mccormick wants us to 90 slow.

cisl Correspondence of The star.

Special Correspondence of The star
LONDON, July Il, 1912.
Some curious light upon the higher
club life in London can be gained from
the report issued by the select committee
that has been considering the bill to
enable the office of works to build new
offices in Whitehall Gardens for the board
Of trade The main difficulty was the
acquisition of the site of the National
Club there This club has occupied its
fine old house in Whitehall Gardens for
the last seventy-seven years. Its member
ship Is $40. Fifteen of its members also
are members of the house of commons,
and about the same number are members
of the house of lords, while seventy are
public servants engaged in offices near
the club. 1t has twenty-four bedrooms,
and q great point was made about the
important part it played in preserving
and strengthening those members of
parliament and public servants in the
onerous and unceasing work they per-
formed for the nation Incidentally 1t
was noticed that 81 200 year was made
by letting these bedrooms to the mem
bers. The applications for membership
was something like ffty-eight a year.
Member for Forty-Seven Years.
Sir William Watson, who gave evidence,
had been a member of the club for forty
seven years, and there We're two older
members than himself. Sir Alfred Bate
man had been a member for about forty
years. The view of the club seemed to
be that the value of it's ministrations
was such that it ought to have very spe-
cial treatment, and 1t urged that
the crown ought to provide a site with
a nice garden and nice view if it were
to be turned out at all. Sir Alexander
Rose Stenning. when questioned by Mr..
Fitzgerald for the crown. said that no
available site existed in Westminster ex-
cept an expensive one in Queen Anne
Gate part of which locality, il seems. be-
longs TO Christs HospitaD. Sites over
looking the river beyond the house of
lords were suggested The idea was
secuted. Il do not think any one would
suggest to a club of this sort to go down
there" 1t is rather an interesting ex-
ample of the caste of districts that SO in
.tensely is an article of London faith.
Dukes Protest Is Futile.
The Duke OF Buccleuch also made a
surprising appearance through his agent
to urge that he had a right of privacy
which should prevent his house and gar
den being overlooked by a high govern
ment office and being menaced by passing
motor buses on a projected new road.
The committee, however. would give no
protection to the duke, and did not agree
that the crown should do more for the
National Club than to arbitrate about
the amount of compensation and TO rail-
In with the clubs wishes about date OF
notice to leave the building. Thus dukes
and artistocratic clubs are bending be-
fore the popular ideas of liberal govern
ment. L. II. MOORE
