BAN ON JESSE JAMES
Moving Pictures Of Famous Outlaw
Barred from Springfield, Mass.

Springfield, Mass, May 22.-Mayor
Il. H. Lathrop has announced that
no moving pictures of the career of
Jesse James, the notorious outlaw.
may be publicly exhibited in Spring
field. Consequently every newsboy
and bootblack in the city will be
forced at least during
the mayors term of office to invest
the money which he otherwise would
have spent to see the blood curdling
pictures in some of the choice liter
ature on the famous outlaws career
than can be usually bought at news
stands for a nickel.
II is the mayors belief that there
are a million and one ways of inspir.
ing crime besides moving pictures,
which show the immortal Jesse In
action. In a conference with Mana
ger Judson of the Globe theatre yes
terday, the mayor bluntly told Mr..
Judson that he had to withdraw his
announcement relative to the exhib-
ition OF films depicting scenes in
the career of Jesse James this week
VI iViiSit MS iNehSe' MI. JuuhOn
readily agreed to withdraw the an.
nouncements and to refrain from
screening the films.
The announcement was greeted
with profound regret by hundreds OF
small boys yesterday. Hundreds
of nickels had been saved up for
the week end exhibition, only to have
the whole thing spoiled by the may
or. Some of the younger generation
could not see why it was necessary
to have a mayor in Springfield any
way.

THE MAINTENANCE
OF MACADAM ROADS
Protective Value of Wood Meal Mixed
With Oil and Tar.

One who is interested in road build
ing and thinks he knows how to main
tain a macadamized road in a thor
oaghly effective and cheap way says.
IF my observations are correct the
destruction of road starts in the fol-
lowing manner: Small stones or peb
bles are loosened by the wheels of We
hicles and scattered over the road,
leaving little holes therein. Now, as
long as the wheels had iron tires these
little stones were ground or crushed
by those wheels, and the holes in the
road were filed again with their dust.
The rains playing perhaps a good part
in packing and filing the material,
with the soft wheeled automobile
all this changed for the worse. The
rapid revolution of the broad wheels
and the suction caused by them and
by the low bodies of the machines
loosen the little stones more easily and
quickly, and as there are hardly any
iron wheels left to grind and crush the
loose pebbles the small holes soon be-
come plentiful, and before long they
grow into large ones and ruts.
ITO sprinkle the roads with liquids
is quite ineffective to prevent spelling
II must be something that has a body
that will bind the PARTICLES of the road
ill all holes and protect the surface
Ii must be solid enough to be strewn
on the road. There are probably many
ways of producing such road pro
tector, and many ingredients might be
used for 1t, but one Of the best, think
would be wood meal-that Is, ground
sawdust. ground hay or straw, ground
cornstalks or any such article which
is cheap and plentiful and which car
easily be ground to meal and whicl
: will float and not clog up the sewer;
II used in the city. This meal should
be soaked in or mixed with oil or will
mixture of oil and tar or any othel
suitable binder, so that ii will no
only protect and keep intact the roads
/ but also lay the dust. IL used on as
phalt It would give a good footing To-
horses, which is sorely needed"

prejudicial to the public welfare,

l File is the only candidate for
president who represents the real.
the vital and effective progressive
forces in this country.
D 2 He stands for tariff revision
downward in the interest of lower
prices and the elimination of
monopoly.
3 He stands for trust legisla-
tion which will prevent the control
of prices through any sort Of
monopoly.
q He stands for the income tax
and believes that wealth should
share the burdens as we'll as the
blessings of government.
5 He stands for the rights of
labor and the protection of the
man who earns his bread by the
sweat of his brow, as shown in his
record as Governor of New Jersey
6 He stand for the revival of
our merchant marine and for thu
government encouragement of agri-
culture. industrial and vocational
education.
Z. He trusts the people and
believes that the governed should
govern; and that senators should
be chosen hy the people.
8 He faithfully PERFORMS in
office the promises made out of
Office.
9 He will "clean house" at
Washington as he has CLEANED
house" in New Jersey.
10 He prearhcs and practices
clean politics. ard practices il
effectively. He unalterably op-
poses machine polite and the rule
of the bosses.
II He stands for legitimate big
business every day, but for
monopoly never.
