Cambridge, Mass, June 21.--Charles

day, declared that 'in the art O:

short Of what we should expect In
free people of so great intelligence,
but we frequently present sorry
spectacle"
His subject was Some observations
on legal education and democratic
progress"
"A passion for legislation is not a
sign Of democratic progress" he said.
'and in the mass Of measures intro
duced in the legislatures Of our free
commonwealth, there is too little
evidence of perspective, and an abund-
ance of elaborate and dreary futii,.

planned, but we are constantly impress

1.-THE regrettable thing" MIR. Hughes
continued, lis that the tendency to
enact uncertain laws seems to be in
creasing, and what is still worse, that
the people tolerate it and that there
are but faint demands for improves
ment. "Our material progress seems
to have created complexities beyond

indications that, pernaps TO an ex.

has been laid by responsible per.
sons at the bar of public opinion or
violations Of personal rights, which
savor of the worst practices of ty.

"At San Francisco we must do
things for our people, at home," he
said ''If the democracy will not do
things for the people, the people will
do things TO the democracy
If President Wilson in Il recent in
terview. meant to say that "the league
of nations was to be the Supreme and
sole ISSUE" Mr.. Lewis said he could
not agree with him. ut is only one
of the, great issues"
THE league of nations and peace
treaty should not be treated as sacred
TO such amendments as the needs OF
our country and justice TO the victo-
rious and defeated foe demand"
Mr.. Lewis platform declared in
favor of the government taking the
railways, waterways. telegraph lines,
oil and coal lands from private mo
nopoly and assuming control for the
people, leaving the method Of opera
tion by private or public agency as
the conditions Of each concern, may
warrant.

American foreign policy; that every
American in any land carries the pro
lection of his whole country to his life

Ireland the fullest aid our institutions
permit that 1--WE provide that com
plants OF high prices should have a
hearing before n tribunal, with a
power to declare fair price and
punish rs criminals those who vio-
late the fair price
In asserting that the league of ma
tions cannot be the only issue in the
coming campaign, Mr.. Lewis said:
I'VE now owe something at home.
We must propose measures for the
relief of the United States. We must
make an issue of the deliberate refusal
of the republicans to propose any one
measure TO reduce the high cost of
living, or to provide for the homele IS

firmative, constructive, and which
promises the continuance Of the poll
cies of enrichment of the land. attend
TO the protection of the American cit
iZens--leaving Europe and foreign
questions to be taken up where such
can be done without the abandonment
of the American in his first rights,

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OWE DUTY To THE OIL
FIELDS WHICH MUST Be.
PAID WITH GOOD ROADS

The report Of the proceedings of
the board of county commissioners,
published at Wilson, shows the money
spent for road work. during the
past month to be s42,s49.45 and claims
that were not properly presented for
the same kind of work, and which
in all probability will be allowed later,
amounted to s3,967.24, making a total
of expenditures for road work s46,-
S16.69.
These figures do not include mon
eys spent for lumber and for road
machinery.
The discovery Of oil-in this county
has made 1t possible for these nam.
moth expenditures for road work and
the oil men seem justified in their
demands for better reads in the por-
tion of the county that is yielding the
oil As the roads are now, it is diff.
cult TO pass from the Graham pro
ducing district to the Fox district, and
from Fox to the county line toward
the Stephens county production the
roads are very bad for hauling heavy
traffic.
If the institutions that go with oil
development are held in this county,
such as oil we'll supply houses and
big lumber concerns, they must be
given roads into the fields.
If Ardmore maintains itself as the
home Of the producers, these produ
ers must have some means of getting
10 and from their properties.
No other county in Oklahoma has
the advantages that today are enjoyed
by Carter county and the commission
ers of Carter county have q greater
opportunity TO render their county a
real service than have the commission
ers of any other county.
Besides the vast amount of work
that is gcing on in Carter county
there is much activity along the north
line and west line of the county.
The new field at Robertson can be
made worth much to us II there Is q
road TO the county line in that direc
tion.
The AIlroy and Velma districts &c
the northwest deserve a good road tc
the county line and the development
work now being prosecuted in the
9s.4w country is almost certain tt
result in the development Of an oil
area and a good road to the county
line in that direction Is very desir+
able
Tho road between Wilson and Ring
ling is unusually rough, this road has
been condemned and travellers are
warned not to try to pass over the
D.C-D highway on account of its bad
condition.
Thees roads do not have to be hard
surfaced in order to make them good
The bridges and culverts can be kept
in good shape, and il the roads are
graded and kept dragged after each
rain they will be passable and will
meet the requirements of the oi
men.
