Hamlin never moved, OF took his eyes
from her until they disappeared over
the ridge. Just as they dipped down
out of sight she turned and waved
one hand. Then the mans gaze swept
over the debris of the burned stage,
and the two mounds Of earth. Even
these mute evidences Of tragedy
scarcely suficed to make him realize
all that had occurred in this lonely
SPOT. He could not seem to separate
his thought from the cavalcade which
had Just departed. leaving behind the
memory of that farewell wave Of the
hand. To him 1t marked the end Of
q dream. the return to q life distaste-

DAILY COMMENT ON
The intense regard of Illinois
legislators for the decision of the
people in a primary makes us
think of the way a small boy re-
CARDS castor oil.
Why should the u. S. intervene
in Mexico? Heven't the Mexi-
cans a right to settle their own
affairs in their own way, and
haven't foreigners a perfect right
to get out of Mexico and stay out
until things are settled?
Of course, the revolution may
play hob with the property of
some of our American trusts in
Mexico, but we should worry and
wear a wig over that.
AS to the wall that there is no
protection for Americans in Mex
leo City"-when two bodies of
men are earnestly trying to kill
each other off-of course a for
eigner has a right to get out of
Mexico City.
Joe Bailey, Of Texas, rises to
remark that if he had lived in SO
he probably would have been on
the side of Douglas. He probably
would.

were alive today he would be a

PEOPLE AND THINGS =
Progressives want a candidate
for u. S. senator upon whom all
can unite and bring glory to Il1i-
nois, why not elect Jane Adams?
If we may judge him by recent
public utterances, J. Ham Lewis
will be very acceptable to Big
Business. Also to Hearst.
There are some advantages in
being dead. Some men are now
eulOgizing Lincoln who would be
fighting him if he were alive.
There's Joe Bailey, of Texas, for
example.
1t was James Boyle O'Reilly,
the Irish poet, who wrote that
famous couplet: "Organized
charity, skimped and iced, in the
name of a cautious, statistical
Christ"
Paddy LAWN, the newspaper
cop, is more of a success fighting
newsbOys than catching bandits.
Already there are indications
that States Attorney Hoyne is
inclined to own himself and run
his own office.
It isn't charity, organized or
unorganized, that honest labor
wants; it wants justice and
chance to work. And at living
wages.
If we could only segregate our
prominent and leading bandits
there might be some hope.

months, it may safely be assum.
ed that the towns in those
counties at least are fortunate if
they have succeeded in holding
their own in population.
Furthermore, Kentucky itself
is rural State, having but ore
city of the first class and not
more than half a dozen of the
second class. Two thirds of its
counties are pauper. that is, they
receive more from the State for
their support than they pay to
the State for its support. 1t
is plain to the wayfaring man.
or at least it should be plain,
that Kentucky will continue to
be a State where good roads are
the widely scattered exception
if county bonds issue or local
taxation is to be depended on to
raise the necessary funds.
That plan has been tried out
something over a century and
more than half the counties are
without good roads.
TIE one plan that promises
success is State aid. under which
the weather. counties in Ken
lucky and corporations doing
business in the State will be
made to contribute the major
portion of the fund devoted by
the State for road-building pur-
poses. The strongest objection
that can be urged to this plan is
that the State is in debt. But
the most effective method yet
devised by which the State or
an Individual can get out of debt
is by an increase of revenues.
That good roads mean in
creased farm values, larger net
prices for farm products and a
saving in farm labor, whether of
man or beast, is a fact to be
questioned. It's about time
that Kentucky was giving it
recognition. And no better
time will be presented than the
next session Of the General AS
