GAINING BY GOOD ROADS.
The Farmer, Not the Motorist, 10 6ene.
flied Most.

It is not unnatural that a wrong i'm
preston prevails as to the class of peo-
pie who will be most benefited by good
roads. The enthusiasm Of automobile
owners for good roads and the large
number of cars seen in all parts of the
country have given the impression that
the automobiles will be the largest
gamers. This is, however. an errone-
GUS idea. as a road census taken
would show that the motorcar owners
are in the minority, and the people de-
irving the greatest benefit are the
farmers.
While the users of motorcars may
assist in the work of creating public
sentiment in favor of road improve
ment, the real benefit to the country is
in the saving to the farmers in trans
portation and in the enhanced farm
production which better marketing ia
ciities engender. Many a farmer will
take to market over good roads a load
of early potatoes for which he can get
$50 bushel. while with bad roads it
would not have occurred to him to
plant them. The difference to him is
between a quick trip to town early in
the morning over an improved road or
slow. laborious trip, taking prac-
tcally an entire day over bad roads.
1T is everywhere admitted that with
the improvement Of our roads, farm
lands will greatly enhance in value.
All of these arguments in favor of a
strong agitation for better roads should
receive the earnest attention of every
farmer.
Our faithful servants, the horses and
mules, should also be considered in
this matter. as it is nothing less than
cowardy to let these patient. dumb
servants be dashed through mud and
ruts, straining every nerve to serve

for assuming so heavy an obligation.
The matter of affiliating with the

and has not inquired as to whether
the causes for the declaration of mar
tial law exist. When we ascertain
what the law is, there is a very plain
remedy to be invoked In the handling
of such situations. We find that q
riot does not constitute cause; l do
not care how many are in the riot;
they may all be armed, but that fact
does not constitute a cause for the
proclaiming of martial law. Under our
constitution martial law can only be
legally established in case of invasion
or insurrection. Those two words have
been defined by the courts. An armed
body of strikers upon one side and an
armed body OF strike breakers upon
the other side do not constitute insur-
rection. nor does the killing OF one or
more persons upon either side.
3 THE test which is made as to the
existence OF insurrection is whether or
not there is resistance to the enforce
ment of the law. II the sheriff can
arrest any man there, then there is no
cause for the declaration OF martial
law; there is no insurrection. II the
sheriff OF the county is resisted and
an attempt is made to forcibly rescue
men who have been seized by the
sheriff, then cause for martial law
might exist. But where there are
armed bodies resisting one the other.

Laws Of international
Suspended for In
slant Action.
Precedent Established in
Denver by Organization of
$4,000 Members.

An action that made new history in
the trade union movement was taken
at the closing session of the Hotel and
Restaurant Employees International AL
lance and Bartenders International
League in Denver last Saturday after
noon. The laws of a great interna-
tional trade union organization, repre-
senting $4,000 members, were suspend
ed in order that a member, absent in
New York City, might be expelled for
affiliating with the Industrial Workers
of the World. The question was set
tied so quickly, that few of the 500
delegates present realized they were
participating in an epoch making
event, for it was, SO far as known rec
ords go, the first time an international
union has ever taken such summary
action.
1t came when Delegate E. Koveleski
of Rochester, n. Y, brought to atten-
ton of the delegates the case of Joe
Elster, member of New York Wait
that after Elster had Joined the 1. W.
WIS he led the recent New York
motel and restaurant walters strike.
inaugurated by the latter body, which
proved total fiasco. 1t was charged
that Elster had forfeited his right to
membership in a recognized walters
union by this action and that he
should be expelled.
Former General President Sullivan
made the point of order that under
the laws of the international organi-
zation. formal written charges should
be made in the New York union and
the member be given trial. There
was a general feeling, however. that
in view of the great injury done the
New York Walters Union, who were
rot able to have a delegate at this
convention. though the riotous troubles
inaugurated by the l. w. W. in which
Elster was a prime mover, some &C
ton should be taken.
AT this point General Secretary
Jere L. Sullivan took the floor, and in
the most impressive speech of the
international body be temporarily sus-
pended and that Elster be at once ex-
PEELED. This was adopted by a prac-
tically unanimous vote of the conven-
ton. This was perhaps the most sting
ing rebuke ever given the I. w. WIS
by an organization affiliated with the
American Federation OF Labor, and
most emphatically places the stamp OF
of condemnation upon a body of meu
and women styling themselves indus
trial workers, who devote most Of
their efforts in a futile effort to dis
rupt and bring criticism to the trade
union movement
Elster may now direct his undivided
attention to this latter line of en-
deavor.
