MARTYRS TO DEMoCRAcY.-n
every generation there is one man in
this country who is to a greater or
less extent a martyr to democracy
a man who pOurs on the altar of free
dom his prospects in life, his per-
sonal comforts and friendships, and
that esteem of his fellow men of
short sight which may easily be as
dear as life itself.
Such men have always existed in
America, but they become iIlustrioUs-
ly prominent only at that time in our
history when the rights of man to his
labor and the fruits thereof became
issues in our affairs.
Wendell Phillips saw that chattel
slavery was only part of the prob
lem of human servitude; and so long
as he lived, he stood for the aboh-
ton of those subtler forms of slavery
under which the masses of men still
suffer.
After Phillips, came Peter Cooper.
Like Phillips, Cooper might have
lived hOnored, comfortable, at peace
with wealth and aristocracy; but he
chose to fight for the rights of the
common man. He died rich and re-
spected, but he never had the conf.
dence Of the men among whom he
lived. He was a dangerous crank"
Cooper was never a good speaker,
nor a skilled writer, and he had no
great genius for public affairs; but
out Of the movement which he head

THE SAND CLAY O A

by j. w. Parmley, President
Do you know, Yellowstone Trail.
or Good Roads Booster, or whatev-
er your name may be, that a lot
of money, labor and enthusiasm is
wasted in graveling roads. The
Yellowstone Trail has suffered very
little, but some, in this way, and
| want to give a word of warning.
Last week | went over a section
of it where for half a mile it was
dangerous to run a car over ten
miles pre- hour, and with no COM
fort at a lower speed. Why? Too
much gravel. The boss thought
that if gravel was good for a road.
he would make a good road, so he
put three loads of gravel side by
side and end to end. 1t was a hard
and expensive task. but he measured
up to his position and responsible
ty and did it. Of course travellers
avoided this sand bar, taking to
the sides of the road until that
became impossible. Then attacked
the sand on the TANKS, running
two wheels SO as to pull a little
of the sand down to the sides Of
the road. During the wet season
travel finally got on to the sand
bar proper. In places the sand
is a foot deep, with two inches of
clay on top in short sections.
Where broken through, Of course a
great hole has been worked out.
The muddy tires of either wagon,
buggy or automobile take out a
spoonful or two Of sand every time
they go across, and instead Of get
ting better it is getting worse
Had three inches Of sand been an
piled at one time and not over
twelve feet wide, the travel would
have worked this into the clay or
soil binder, and in one season much
Of the sand would have disappear
ed, but it would be mixed thor
oughly with the road material. An
application of another inch or two
OF sand would make the road an
ideal sand clay road, the best road
TOR all this northwestern country.
Please don't make the mistake Of
putting on too much sand or gravel
at one time. Don't make the mis-
take Of using public money to work
this in with your binder. Level it
with your blade grader set two or
three in. above the grade, and the
trail will saves lot Of money for the
When the rain comes the
vehicles will take to the sand.

VICTORIES FOR LAWSON
Review Of Case Granted and Presiding
Judge Barred.

DENVER. COL. August 17.-The
fight of the United Mine Workers of
America to obtain a new trial for John
r. Lawson. member Of the internati tional
executive committee OF the Miners
Union, convicted OF murder on an In
dictment growing out of the strike
riots at Ludlow, Col. met a partial
victory to-day when the State Supreme
Court granted writ of supersedeas,
preliminary TO review Of the case on
its merits.
The mine workers won a second vic
tory when the Supreme Court barred
Judge CRANKY Hlllyer who sentenced
Lawson. from presiding at future trials
growing out Of strike disorders.
The supersedeas writ stays the execu-
tion Of Lawsons sentence OF life i'm
prisonment. The court deferred action
on the question OF admitting him to
bail. and Lawson still is in jail at
Trinidad.
Judge Hillyer was barred from pre-
siding at future strike trials after
Lawson's attorneys presented conten-
tions OF bias on the judges part be-
cause at one time he was attorney for
the coal mining cc8panies.

The story of the lynching OF Leo NJ.
Frank reads like the widest tale OF ad-

than score of men could journey Tor
hours across the State; attack the State
prison, overpower the guards, capture
a noted prisoner, and carry him 140
miles to n designated spot--and there
at daybreak execute the death penalty
with all the grim deliheration and much
of the terrible panoply OF judicial pro-
cedure
Wherever the mob originated IL
all came from one section--the utmost
caution was observed. The cars mus,
have departed for Milledgeville one at

no one reports seeing them grouped
until the final dash away from the

been travelling in sections toward the

nightfall.
