AUTO TRUCKS AND HIGHWAYS.

The state is beginning to realize the
account OF the Translate auto truck
service that causes such a wear and
tear on our highways. The EVENING
NEWS has called attention to this
matter for several years insisting hat
something must be done to lift the
burden of maintaining these roads
from the shoulders of the ordinary
taxpayers. Other newspapers are now
taking up the agitation and the State
Highway Commission has passed a
resolution regarding the registration
of the trucks and the weight OF the
Dad they carry.
1t would be just as fair to ask the
state to maintain the roadbeds of the
different railroads for the operation of
their freight trains as it is for the state
auto trucks to use. These truck lines
operate on regular schedule between
New York, Philadelphia and Balti-
more. Their load originates outside
the state and is destined to a place
outside the state. they simply pass
back and forth over our main
thoroughfares doing more damage to
the roads in a single trip than the
ordinary local travel would do in a
whole season.
Not only is the damage to be con-
sidered. but the congestion is SO great
that much travel is crowded of the
highway.
The one best solution would seem

THE CHESTNUT.

The white pine has been saved from
the threatening pine-tree disease
(which originated in Siberia and was
brought here from western Europe.
But all hope is abandoned of saving
the American chestnut tree from the
blight brought here from China.
Efforts to stop the spread of this
bark disease nave been given up.
Scientists are warning owners to cut
down even the chestnut trees which so
far have escaped it.
Ten years ago the chestnuts export
ed in q single season from Virginia
elone were worth 5000. 900. All chest
nut products that year were valued at
$4,000. 900. The value of chestnut
trees then standing in this country was
Estimated at $500. 900, 900.
Chestnut tree blight was not
tree with which it was brought to this
country. To the native species it was
always fatal. No other plant disease
has been SO deadly. And all efforts to
stop it spreading failed.
The money value is not the only
loss. The chestnut tree has been a
conspicuous and beautiful feature of
the landscape in this country, and of
special interest to every country boy
at the time of the first frost each fall.

Story Of Democratic
Conventions To Date
The Convention of 1864
BY A. II. v-ANDENBERG


The Democratic national nven
ton OF 1864 assembled-in the midst
of civil war-on August 20, at Chica-
so. with Ex-Governor William Bigler
of Pennsylvania as temporary chair
man and Governor Horatio Seymour
of New York as permanent chair
man.
The platform-adopted before the
nominations were made, and largely
propheSying what the ticket would
be-declared that "after -four years
of failure to restore the Union by the
experiment of war;" the vital essen
tial was hat Immediate efforts seek
a cessation of hostilities with a view
to an ultimate convention of the
states to the end that peace may be
restored on the basis of the federal
union of the states" The platform
declared the aim and object of the
Democratic party is ito preserve the
federal union and the rights of the
states unimpaired."
Party sentiment was concentrated
on General George b. Mcclellan for
president long before the convention
met; and n perfunctory roll-call
gave him the designation. Before
the result was announced, changes
were made which gave Mcclellan
2O2h votes to 28h votes for Thomas
II. Seymour. All the votes for Sey-
mour came from Ohio. Indiana and
the border states.' The Mcclellan
nomination was made unanimous on
motion of the famous bitter ender,"
Vallandigham of Ohio.
Two ballots settled the vice presi-
dency. James Guthrie of Kentucky
(who had been Douglas chief oppo-
nent for the presidential nomination
in the regular convention of 1860
led on the first ballot in a field of
eight candidates. On the second ball
lot, however, Guthrie's name was
withdrawn, and this habit immedi-
ately became so contagious that
George II. Pendleton of Ohio (who
had been runner-up OF the. first bal
lot) was unanimously chosen.
Mcclellan and Pendleton were
later defeated at the polls by Lincoln
and Johnson.

LOOSE

Were It not for the fact that Gov
ernor Edwards processes to be a tie
totaller and is understood never to
touch intoxicating liquors n might
think, judging from his latest screed
on his pet subject of personal
liberty" hat some of his home brew
had gone to his head.
In a statement given out at Sea Grit
yesterday concerning the decision OF
the United States supreme court hold
ing the prohibition amendment and
the Volstead act to be constitutional.
the governor said tina mo power
exists which is paramount 10 the
power of the people expressed at the
polls" The governor knows as well as
anyone who knows anything at all
about our government, that the people
have no power at the polls to change
the constitution.
The constitution can be changed
only by amendments being passed by
q two-thirds vote of both houses of
congress and then by ratification by
two-thirds of the states through the
action of their respective legislatures.
When the governor, therefore. de-
clares that the Will of the people as
expressed at the polls Is paramount,
Especially in connection with the ques-
tion of prohibition as it now stands. he
IS only trying to fool himself and de-
ceive the people. 1t is such loose talk
as this that breeds contempt for law
and order.
Now l appeal to the great and final
referendum of the American people,"
cries the governor in conclusion, as If
he actually tool himself seriously!
Really, he Is only making himself
ridiculous which everybody but HIM
self realizes. The governor reminds
us of the old woman with the broom /
trying to sweep back the Atlantic
ocean.

TRYING TO GET OUR
LABOR AWAY FROM US

A campaign against an unfair at
tempt of neighboring states to en-
tice farm and ranch hands from Col
orado is being waged by James R.
holland, Secretary of State and ex-
officio labor commissioner. This eff
fort, he says, is being made through
and he is urging the farmers and
ranchers generally along with COM
mercial bodies to aid him in fighting
the propaganda in every possible way.
wide circulation is being given to
advertising matter that not only is
misleading to labor itself but is rob-
bling the Colorado ranchers and farm
ers of the help which they so badly
need at this time," says Secretary
holland. "One of the most fragrant
cases brought to my attention is

entertainment will be provided, sta
tionery supplied and buttons sewn
on by the mothers Of all of the
tommyrot and twaddle ever peddled
this is the worst
''The wages are greatly exagger-
ated- After being lured to the sun
baked fields of Kansas and the other
states our Colorado harvest hands
find that they must accept a lower
wage, longer hours and fewer living
comforts than are being offeerd, to
them right here at home
"As ex-officio labor commissioner
have charge of the state free employ
ment bureaus in Denver, Colorado
Springs, Pueblo, and Grand Junction.
The superintendent of each bureau
has been instructed to use every in
fiuence to get applicants for ranch
and farm work to go to Colorado
farms. I am supplying hundreds of
hands monthly thru these bureaus
but on account of propaganda of 9TH

mand for help far exceeds the supply

made for securing jobs for men or
men for jobs"

is my established motto" says Sec

farm hands in our own state. EVERY

You Do Not Have to XIII Them

We observe lot of editors again
demanding that the cottonwoods that
bear down should be marked for
slaughter and destroyed Bright ideas
are advanced for marking the female
trees and cutting them down. Many
years ago Congressman Taylor solved
that trouble for Glenwood Springs
and did not destroy tree. Simply
bore hole with an auger, say one
and half inches in diameter into
the trunk clear to the heart. Then
tightly plug the hole with a well
shaped and sound plug of wood. The
bark will in time grow over the
wound and no more down will form
on that tree. The operation is the
same in effect as spaying live stock
So do not destroy trees If you need
them where they stand. They can be
cured without killing.

to stop on IL and Hetherington had

said he did not want it, but when the
game owner offered $500 for it back,
A. X. again displayed his past master
ship of difficult situations. He turned
down the offer fiat, captured the ham
and proudly bore 1t over to Heth-
