FREE PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
CONGRESS SHOULD GIVE THEM
PREFERENCE IN APPRo.
PRIATloNs.
BY Peter Radford.

This nation IS now entering upon
an era OF marine development The
wreckage OF European commerce has
drifted to our shores and the world
war Is making unprecedented de.
mands for the products OF farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and our flag
Is seldom seen in foreign ports. II
our government would only divert the
energy we have displayed in conquer.
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce OF the sea, foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the ocean
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion OF our ports for the pro-
ducts OF the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports. OF which
IL are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Sixty-second
Congress appropriated over ISL ,000,.
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise leviea
a toll OF approximately $50,000,000
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered
The latter item should be lifted of
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing it's appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to wharf and discharge her cargo
free OF any fee or charge.
A free port is progress. 1t takes
out the unnecessary link in the chain
OF transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is so
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
Its benefits as that of a free port
and none can be more easily and eff
fectively secured.

IRIS THEATER NEWS

One of the largest crowds of the
entire series attended the Iris Tues
day night, when the thirteenth cpl
sode of THE Exploits of Elaine"
was shown. AS the end of this serial
is drawing to a close interest grows.
and everyone is anxious to learn who
the Clutching Hand is. After the
fourteenth episode, when the Clutch
ing Hand is killed, WI Fang, the
Chinaman, takes up the work of the
Clutching Hand. The second Elaine
series is called THE New Exploits of
Elaine" The Iris, however, will not
begin the new series, as it is our
opinion that the public would soon
tire of seeing the same characters
week after week. as the new series
progresses, especially since there are
several out now which are copied
after THE Exploits of Elaine" Two
weeks from next Tuesday we will
start the first installment OF our
new serial, which is entirely differ
ent from the ones of the past, and
will have as leading man and lady
two well known stars, who are sure
to start large attendance on the
opening episode. Watch next weeks
papers for further particulars. :.
Mothers Roses" the three-part
Broadway Star Feature, last We'd
nesday night, was one of the best of
the Vitagraph pictures shown so far
You should try and see some of these
Broadway Star Features.
The Iris is the coolest place in
town. Our ventilating system, con-
sisting of six electric intake, oscilat-
ing and exhaust fans, keeps the air
fresh and pure.
The lobby is receiving fresh coat
of paint this week
If you have not seen any of the
who Pays" pictures, better see the
next, as there are only three more
after this week. People who never
go to picture theaters any other time,
are seeing the who Pays" pictures.
There are three nights every week
when we show three-reel pictures,
Wednesday, Friday and Saturday,
and we don't ask more than loo to
see them.
Five reels were shown Thursday
night, among which was one-reel
Selig animal picture, which pleased
everybody. Another animal picture
will be shown in next Thursdays
program.
One of our lady patrons, who had
been visiting in Denver for ,some
time, made the remark that our pic q.
lures are steadier and clearer than
at some of the theaters on Curtis
street.
Tuesday night the Clutching Hand
in The Exploits of Elaine" will be
exposed. 1t is the last episode in
this serial

WOOD BLOCKS MAKE
BEST CITY STREETS

Wood block pavement has been in
use in the United States for more
than seventy years. but only within
the past five years has more thor
ough knowledge of tn fitness of vari-
Gus woods and the proper methods
of treating and laying the blocks de-
yeloped a successful pavement.
The first wood pavement laid in
this country was in New York in
1885. FOR thirty years thereafter
wood blocks were laid in various
cities, but with Indifferent success
and with little or no advance in
methods Primary consideration
seems to have been directed to the
size and shape of the block rather
than to the kind of wood used. The
blocks were neither seasoned nor
treated, and they decayed rapidly.
Wide Joints permitted water to get
under the pavement, where it was
absorbed by the blocks, with the re-
suit that they swelled so that the
pavement often heay ed from its
foundation. The edge of the blocks
soon wore off into a corduroy condi
ton which was not pleasant for trav-
ellers and also hindered the drain
age and cleaning of the street. Final
ly the foundation, usually of plank,
decayed and permitted the blocks to
sink into holes and ruts.
After the failure of untreated
woods, attention was turned to pre-
servatives; but not until experiments
were made and actual results OBJ
| tanned, was there any marked in
crease in the use of wood blocks for
paving purposes. The size and shape
of the block is no longer the import
ant item in the development of sue
cessful pavement. The best woods
for the purpose were found to be
longleaf pine, tamarack, Norway
pine. and Douglas fir, and the chief
improvements have been made in the
cushion on which the blocks rest and
in the method of treatment. For ex-
ample, sand and cement cushion"
| is better than a sand cushion" I'M
der most conditions. When once
properly laid, wood block pavement
is easily kept in repair, easily cleaned,
free from dust practically noiseless,
and it's dark color prevents glare or
the reflection of light
One OF the best pavements in Den
yer is that of the Twentieth street
viaduct, the flooring of which con-
sists of 3-inch southern pine blocks
on suhstructure of heavy timbers.
Both the wood blocks and substitute
ture were submitted to a treatment
|"of creosote. This pavement was laid
in December 1911, and after three
and half years heavy traffic shows
practically no signs of wear. Up to
the present the cost Of maintenance
has been nothing and it is estimated
that several more years will elapse
before repairs will be necessary. In
fact. wherever wood block pavement
has been laid under the right cCndi.

when he goes to trial on charges of
bank wrecking will accuse as arch
conspirator against him. Yet when
it comes to appointment of corpora

cabinet, the legal adviser to stand at
his elbow and tell him the law, he
names Sam Ettelson, partner of Dan
Schuyler, who is city hall spokesman
for the State street stores which paid
$2,944,250.15 last year to the news

The naming of Ettelson will not
stand as favor to the Jews so long
as striking Jew wage earners on the
West Side by the scores are being
damned over the head with city po-
lice clubs and hauled in city police
wagons to face charges of disorderly
conduct and unlawful assembly.
1t was Ettelson who backed the
bunk home rule bill that so Disguised

What Ettelson urged then was pub

As attorney for Automatic Phone

of the Baldwin committee, benefactor

about him. That Mayor Thompson

BY CARL SANDBURG

When Sam Ettelson got his job as
corporation counsel last night the
State Street Stores assn landed a
friend. Ettelson's law partner, Dan
Schuyler, is officially attorney for the
State Street Stores assn. Both of
'em hang their hats in the mayors
Office when they please. They are in
on the know.
Any time big store managers along
State street want to hear what's go
ing on in the City Hall they ask their
lawyers who now sit amidst the in
nermost sanctoriums. Also and more
over, when Dan Kelly of Mandels or
Jimmy Simpson of Fields or Eddie
IIillman want to give the mayor an
earfuI of information, tips and
lunches, why all they gotta do is
whisper it to the firm of Ettelson &
Schuyler, and ere many clock ticks
have licked the same info, tips and
lunches are given the once-over into
the ear of the lord mayor.
Here's William Hale Thompson,
free from political debts and fnan-
cial obligations to State street and
the ramified corporation interests.
And he's getting slammed with
rights, lefts and uppercuts from the
big advertising newspapers. What's
his answer? Why, nothing except to
go ahead and appoint as the city's
chief lawyer the one man who has a
direct cash business connection with
the State street stores who are high
royal meal ticket on which big adj
vertising newspapers feed their faces.
Of course, when the newspapers
pounded Lorimer so hard on those
bribery charges, at the same time
protecting politicians, bankers and
business interests in on that deal, Bill
Thompson naturally lost respect for
them. He considered Lorimer as
good as some of the others protected
by the big papers and that was one

BY far the most interesting event
that has transpired since the organ
izatian of Jackson county will take
place at Sylvia on the 18th of next
month when beautiful monument
in commoration of the deeds of the
Confederate soldiers and their wives,
both living and dead, will be un-
unveiled
Nearly every individual in the
county will have a deep personal
interest in this Occosior as e'moet
every one had fathers. mothers,
brothers or sisters whose fortunes,
whose sacred honor and evee whose
lives were laid upon the alter of the
Civil War.
There are many citizens of Jack
son whose fathers brothers or hus-
bands sleep in unmarked graves on
the fields of Virginia, Geor6ia or
Tennessee, or died slow deaths in
Northern prisons, helpless in the
presence of relentless and often
cruel captors, with the heroic asse-
veration, with their last gasp, of
their allegience to DiXie-tO their
homes and their starving wives and
children.
1t is in highest honor and perpet.
ual memory of heroes and heroines
like these that this lasting memorial
is being erected. 1t is our small
belated tribute to their great sacri
flee. How fortunate it is that {

are still with us to behold and tt
enjoy our feeble tribute.

that be done both would be
able to report that the men
who started the agitation to
have the sentence committed,
care no more for Hillstrom
than for a cur dog; that their
thought was to make a direct
miscarriage of justice; that
their own plans to make it
impossible to execute the laws
against members of an anarch-
istic organization might be
furthered. The secret truth
| is that Hillstrom is a member
of a gang that has committed
many murders, and their pleas
for him have been but to make
their own heads more secure
on their own shoulders.
TO every scoundrel who has
been writing threatening let
tiers to the officers who have
Hillstrom in custody; to every
scoundrel who would gladly
make the execution Of the laws

cent people to see that its op
