WHEN Samuel Gompers, president of
the American Federation of Labor, pre-
sented the demands of organized labor
to the Republican platform committee
they asked him to condense them. When
they appeared in the finished platform
Sam says they couldn't be seen without
the aid Of microscope. 1t is therefore
easy to see which party the majority of
the members of organized labor will
support. Mr.. Gompers says the Demo
cratic party has done much for labor,
but it could do more, and probably will

Want to go to York again
Before ] die.

oCAOAC = uiCs
That was what all the members O.
the South Carolina Press association fel
like singing as they left for their re
spective homes after the recent meet
ing of the Association held at York.
| We, with our better three -fourths,
were fortunate in being able to attend
the meeting, tho we were late getting
there. AS we were fortunate in being
able to attend, we were more than for
tunate in being assigned to the hospit-
able home of Mr.. and Mrs. B. N. Moore,
finer people than whom we have never
met. If York should wish for anything
more it should be more Moores. But we
don 'tsuppose there are any more Moores
like these Moores.
An old friend whom we met while
there was Mr.. Steadman, who used to
conduct the hotel at Easley, but who
now conducts the leading hostelry at
York. He is making good there, but
tells us he is thinking of going back to
his farm after this year. Not long ago,
someone told US, Mr.. Steadman put
prominent German out of his hotel be-
cause he was abusing President Wilson
in vituperative language. The next
time the German abuses the president
around Mr.. Steadman he will probably
do it in the German language
Another friend we met was Rev. Ellie
Myers, who last year was pastor of
Methodist churches in this county, but
who is now at York. He is the same
fine-looking fellow with the hearty
handshake and open, pleasing smile.
He likes the people there and they like
him. We do, too.
That fellow Watson Bell of the York
News seems to ring true. He's live
one and doesn't have to be tolled. He
goes ahead and does it.
We couldn't begin to mention all the
good people we met, but among them
were the Messrs. Hart. York's Harts
seem to be in the right places.
We made special effort to meet the
Messrs. Grist, who publish the Yorkville
Enquirer, and succeeded in barely meet
ing one of them. We are sorry we
didn't meet them all.
York is full of good things. It's water
is fine. Its ice is good Best of all is
its people.
So here's to good old York,
A place among the places;
It's men are square, its women fair,
Possessing all the graces-
Fair of face and fair of features,
Surely among Gods loveliest creatures.
It's genuine hospitality
Was certainly proven unto me,
And
I'm glad I've been to York.

JOHN r. MCLEAN, owner Of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer and the Washington
Post, died at his Washington home
June 8, after long illness, aged about
75 years. His demise removes a unique
character from the newspaper world.
He was one of the most enterprising
newspaper men this country ever pro-
duced.

NEWSPAPERS, some Of them said 60 be
Democratic, and a few public men of
the same calibre, have been prophecy
ing all along that Mr.. Bryan was bent
on going to the ST. Louis convention to
make trouble for the party. Instead,
he was received with the same old cor
diality that has been his with the masses
for more than twenty years, and made
the convention one of the best speeches
delivered in the hall, saying, among
other things, that Mr.. Wilson'S plat
form was his platform. Mr.. Bryan,
despite his critics, will be found as of
yore stumping the country for Democ-
racy in every state, and the people will
go from far and near to even hear him
make tail-end speeches from the train
as it stops at the water tanks; and at
the larger places the S. r. o. sign will
be much in evidence. The maligners of
the great Commoner were very much
disappointed because he did not "start
something" so that they could roast
him some more.

STATE ROAD MAPS

Many business firms and corpora

state and elsewhere maps showing
the state roads and we notice that
everyone gotten out since the logging
of the new state road, over the con-
tinental divide into the San Luis val
ley, by the Durango Motor Club and
the Durango Exchange, has on it the
new state highway.
This is certainly an excellent meth
cd of advertising southwestern Colo

to every state in the union and will
be of most beneficial service to those
wanting to make trip into the noun

These maps taken along with the

Mr.. w. H. Cundey, assistant gen

In this connection it is well 70 state
that the secretary of the Durango
