THE ROAD TO HELL"


 Any former resident of Iowa, from twenty to thirty years ago, will re- member stormy" Jordan. He was one of the unique characters of the state and had a reputation, or rather notoTiety, that extended far beyond the confines of his own state. knew him for about twenty years, but I never learned his real name, for the name of Stormy so fitted his career, from which it was de- rived, that no one seemed to be in terested enough to inquire further into it.
 stormy" acquired his name from fighting what is called "sumptuary' legislation thirty-two years ago when Iowa passed her prohibitory amend ment to the constitution, and which was nullified by a technical omission in expressing, either through a blum der of incompetency or at the in stance of the liquor clements for value received. At any rate Stormy" began his fight that continued for more than twenty years and ended with his ruin and death
 Stormy had a saloon at Ottum- wa, and over its doorway he placed q sign so plain that the Wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err therein. It did not seek to delude. It did not lie. It did not bear the name of any of the saints The sign he chose to designate his place was iato ting I have ever known-"THE ROAD TO HELL"
 Nor did the unique features of his business end at the doorway. When a customer got in front of his bar and. in doubt about the brands oi liquor carried, or too drunk to re- member the names of his favorite you got" stormy would invariably set before him glass of pure water He knew he dealt in liquid damna- tion and he did not seek to disguise the fact. He did not try to obtair money under false pretenses Ht held out no false hopes. He indulged no moral fancies He pursued his calling with that relentless deter imitation that men derive when they get the utterly false notion that they have a right to sell anything tha anyone wishes to buy.
 Stormy" spent his money fighting prohibition until finally his town wa. dry, his place was abandoned, hi. shelves were empty and his counter. | dismantled. He died and the com munity was the better for his pass ing. His life had been a failure, fo it was utterly without ideals. H, made no man better. He left nt sainted memory. His children coulC not point with pride to his career The world moved on and on, ant stormy Jordan is remembered onl, as the horrible example of what man should not be.
 Is this not too much of price t,
Arizona republican., 1914-04-23

pay for an evil life2 The wages of sin is death. No man can long cheat the inevitable exactions of the com mon good nor evade the demands of moral law
 Stormy is remembered chiefly for his contribution to the literature of the liquor business by his sign over the door. It was the first time the thing had been called by it's right name by the man engaged in it. It was a confession against interest, as the lawyer would say. and there was in it no plea of avoidance. He knew what he was running and he offered none of his customers the excuse that he had misled them into hell by pointing the other way. He left a train of crimes and wrecks and ruin in his wake and did not escape himself nor seek to do so. He as acts and sought no other justified ton than that the devil would ad- vance-the pure love of the business of running souls. His like had never been known before and it is not likely that candor will gc so far again.
 Is there any lesson in his career? ? Is it true that no life is without it's lessons and that no soul, however evil but leaves behind a trail that is significant with suggestion? Was stormy Jordan right when he named his place The Road to Hell' ? + he was wrong will some one tell us wherein?
 What is the difference, if any, be- tween the best saloon you know and that run by Stormy Jordan? Is the difference in favor of the one that bore the plain signboard or is it in favor of the same place dis euised under a less significant name ? i These are vital questions and should be settled that we may know the correct definitions and definite ter
 minOlogy of the language used. The subject is too important, too inti-
 mately associated with the public welfare to gloss it over with false hood and deception.

ElECTlNG A GOAT KING FOR
 A DAY

Puck Fair" held at Killorglln, is one of the last of the old-time Irish fairs and more than one story is told as to the origin of it's name. Amongst them is a tradition that when Crom- wells soldiers were in Ireland a large party of troopers were coming over Kerry mountains, making for Kill orglin, when they frightened a flock of goats These immediately made helter- skelter for Killorglin, and dashed wildly into the town headed by a great Puck" Thus warned of impending danger the inhabitants beat off the troopers. and in grati- tude dedicated a fair to their horn ed defender, and elected him king for a day, writes William B. Me Carthy in "Curiosities" in the March Strand

been signed between England and
 France.
 Everything succeeded to their
 wishes; the intelligence was believed,
 the funds rose, and they sold on time
 bargains many hundred thousand
 pounds of three per cents before the
 truth was discovered It so happened
 that Lord Cochrane was then in Lon
 don, was living at his uncles house, and was much in his company, but
 there is now good reason to believe
 that he was not in the least impli- cated in the nefarious scheme. How
 ever, when the fraud was detected
 partly from belief of his complicity,
 and partly from political spite, he was
 included in the indictment preferred
 for the conspiracy to defraud the Stock Exchange.
 The trial coming on before Lord Peterborough, the noble and learned Judge, who was himself persuaded of the guilt of all the defendants, used his best endeavors that they should all be convicted. He refused to ad- Journ the trial at the close of the prosecutors case, about nine in the evening, when the trial had lasted twelve hours, and the jury as well as the defendants counsel were all com pletely exhausted, and all prayed for an adjournment.
 The following day, in summing up,
 prompted no doubt by the conclusion
 of his own mind, he laid special em- phasis on every circumstance which might raise a suspicion against Lord Cochrane, and elabOrately explained away whatever, at first sight, ap- peared favorable to the gallant officer
 In consequence the jury found a yer
 dict of guilty against all the dedend- ants.
 The following term Lord Cochrane presented himself in Court to move
 for a new trial, but the other de- fendants convicted along with him 1 did not attend. He said truly that he had no power or influence to ob- 1 tain their attendance. and urged that his application was founded on cir
 cumstances peculiar to his own case. 1 But Lord Peterborough would not 1 hear him, because the other defend ants were not present.
 Lord Cochrane was thus deprived
 of all opportunity of showing that 1 the verdict against him was wrong and in addition to fine and impris- , onment, he was sentenced to stand IT
 the pillory. Although, as yet, he was generally believed to be guilty, the
 award of this degrading and infam- 1 ous punishment upon a young noble
 man, a member of the house of con-
 mons, and a distinguished naval of ficer raised universal sympathy 1T l his favor.
 Lord Cochrane was expelled iron
 the house of commons, but he was l immediately reelected for Westmin- ister. Having escaped from the pri- son in which he was confined, ht appeared in the house. The part O | his sentence by which he was t'
 stand in the pillory was remitted bA ] the crown, and a bill was introduced into parliament altogether to abolisl the pillory as a punishment on ac 1 countof the manner in which thu
 power of inflicting it had been re l cently abused.

TRIAL OF LORD COCHRANE

When Lord Peterborough was Chief Justice of England, one of the most trying cases over which he had to preside was that of Lord Cochrane, who later became the Earl of Dun donald and the dOggedly manner in which he pushed this case drew upon him a considerable degree of public obloquy, and caused very uneasy re- flections in his mind which it is sup posed hastened his death.
 Lord Cochrane was one of the most gallant officers in the English navy, and had gained the most brilliant reputation in a succession of engage ments against the French. Unfor- tunately. for him, he likewise wished to distinguish himself in politics, and, taking the Radical line, he was re- turned to Parliament for the city of Westminster He was a determined opponent of Lord LiverpooIs admins tration, and at popular meetings was in the habit of delivering harangues of rather a seditiOus aspect, which induced Lord Peterborough to believe that he seriously meant to abet re- belliOn, and that he was a dangerous character
 But the gallant Cochrane really was loyal subject, as well as enthusi- astically jealous for the glory of his country. He had an uncle named Cochrane, a merchant and a very un- participated man, who, towards the end of tho war in concert with De Berenger, a foreigner, wickedly de- vised a scheme by which they were to make an immense fortune by a speculation on the Stock Exchange. For this purpose they were to cause sudden rise in the funds. by spread | ing false intelligence that a prelim-

OPEN FORUM FOR DEBATING
 STATE WIDE PROHIBITION

The very important issue of state wide prohibition has been raised. A campaign in favor of constitutional amendment will be shortly instituted. This, like all other important ques- tions has two sides, on each of which are found honest and intelligent per- sons.
 The Republican has decided to pro- vide for a reasonable discussion of this issue in it's pages, allowing to each side at least half column daily for signed articles, for which there will be no charge. No anonymous article will be published.
 It is only stipulated that the com- nunications for and against prohibi-

tion be just and fair and that in no case shall there be any wild and ex- travagant statement that will in any way reflect upon the reputation of Phoenix for good order.
 It is suggested by The Republican that either side. desiring to avail it. self of this offer of space, name a committee through which all matter relating to the issue shall be trans mitted. In such case, all communica- tions received at this office from other sources will be rejected. We believe that this arrangement is ne- cessary to keep the discussion within reasonable lines.
 No paid advertisements from either side will be accepted.

Lnspiriting Sight of Stream of

sang with enthusiasm. and for all the
world they looked like lads on their
way to a wedding or a great peaceful
festival instead OF going to the front
to give their young lives FOR the cause

Deeply affected, and with hearts
throbbing, the hundreds OF patient
watchers al the station saw these
sturdy. red checked boys being rushed
onward, their faces aglow with the
joy OF the coming fray and with con-
ndence. These brave men from Bavaria,
Wurttemberg and Baden sang one ma
tIonal song after another. They were
brothers in arms, firmly intent TO fight
and to fight hard
Rich and poor alike welcomed them
at the station. they brought them flow
ers and tokens 10 cheer them on their
journey, and joined in their solder
songs until the nearby mountains rang.
A feeling came over MS all that Is

strangers became friends, for there was
hardly soul there at the station that
did not have some loved one among
the steadily moving troops. At every

the same encouraging welcome and
