ing that no reason exists why Jack
johnson, the negro pugilist. impris-

the United States Supreme Court.
THE administration of criminal law
he said, would be brought into dis
repute If one committing such an In
fsmous crime as that for which John
son was indicted could escape to place
where he would be. free from further
prosecution by forfeiting even con-
siderable sum-"
Replying to the complaint that a
cash or certificate of deposit bond of

the federal statutes do not provide
for the acceptance of cash in lieu of
bail The court would have no power
legally to do 80.

MAKE UNCLE SAN
BUILD THE ROADS
Good Country Roads Far More I'M
portant Now Than Railroads.
Thinks Leader Oscar
Underwood.

That Hon. Oscar w. Underwood is
an ardent advocate of good roads,
appears from the following extracts
from a speech reprinted from the Con
gressional Record, the extracts being
but small portion of the speech:
For many years / have been In ia
vor of the government Of the United
States either establishing post roads
or lending its aid to the building Of
post roads throughout the country. It
is the only way you can build them.
1T is far more important to the
great majority Of the people OF the
United States to have road that car
ries their produce from the farm
door to the railroad station and from
the store in the town back to the
farm door than it is to further de-
Yelop great railroad that will carry
them to New York or San Francisco.
1--WE can begin by giving national
aid to assist the states, or we can
commence by building several great
national highways, like the Cumber-
land pike, that was completed p CEN
tury ago, and yet remains as a nonu-
ment to the wisdom Of our fathers.
Il have just this one suggestion to
make to you, and it is not my own
thought, that instead Of advocating
one system today by this association
and another system tomorrow by an
other association. 60 to the congress
Of the United States and say to them
Appoint a joint committee to con
slider the building of post roads in
the United States; give them author
ity to hear everybody that wants to
come before the committee; give them
authority to find verdict as to which
is the best way to start this great
national movement by proper legisla-
ton, and then you have concentrated
the power i'm the hands Of the men
who in the end must exercise It"

Every one who is in favor Of i'm
proving the roads in the country has
good friend in Hon. Oscar w. I'm.
derwood. He believes in making I'm
ole sam improve the roads Of the
country. On March 5, last, he intro
duced a bill in congress, looking to
this end, the text OF the bill being as
follows:
RESOLVED by the Senate and House
Of Representatives of the United
States Of America in Congress az

both houses of congress is hereby
created, to be composed of three mem
bers of the senate, to be appointed by
the president thereof, and three mem
bers of the house Of representatives,
TO be appointed by the speaker there
Of. Any vacancy occurring on the
committee shall be filled in the same
manner as the original appointment.
The said committee is hereby. en-
powered and directed to collect in
formation and to make thorough
and complete investigation of the con-
dition Of the public highways in the

DID NOT APPOINT
CONGRESSMAN
JOHN LAMB
Mr.. Underwood Supported Scott Anti
Gambling Bill.

An effort has been made to cast q
smear on Mr.. UnderWood's record by
charging that he appointed Congress
man Lamb as chairman Of the agri-
cultural committee of congress. Every
Well-informed man knows that Mr.
Lamb was not appointed by Mr.. I'm
derwood, but was chosen by the Dem
ocrats of congress in caucus, because
he was the ranking Democrat, he hay
ing served -seVe"tteseeii.. years as a mem
Der Of that committee. Mr.. Lamb It
was who got the great agricultural
appropriation measure acted on ia
yorably in the house. Even II MI
Lamb did not favor the Scott anti
gambling bill, Mr.. Underwood did.
Moreover, he succeeded in getting
the house to consider it and made
splendid speech in favor of it. In
fact, MT. Underwood has never done
or said anything during his whole ca
reer in congress that was against the
wishes of the great agricultural class.
On the other hand, he has been their
ablest champion. There is not anoth.
er man in the United States in pub
lie life today who has done more.
For weeks the opposition has had
a corps OF experts engaged In Wash
ington searching the records Of con-
gress in the hope Of finding some ac-
ton or utterance Of Mr.. Underwood's
that might injure his candidacy They
have searched back for seventeen
years They have burned the woods
and sifted the ashes, but they have
found nothing against him.
