TRAIN WRECK AT PALMYRA
brakeman Crushed To Death Under
Derailed Cars.

Palmyra, Thirteen cars heav-
lily loaded freight cars piling up in a
crashing derailment killed Bernard
Marsh, Milwaukee, brakeman and
tore up more than 1000 feet of
track two miles out of this town Sat-
urday afternoon. Lives of other train
men were imperiled.
The exact cause Of the wreck is un-
known. A cursory examination by
wrecking crews of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroad led to
the belief expressed by officials that
the spreading of rails caused by
heavy rains was the cause of the de-
railment.
Marsh, the brakeman, was on top
of one of the middle cars in the
string which went tearing off the
track. According to observers he
made a leap, but jumped short and
was caught in the fearsome mass of
jamming girders and tons of weight
ed freight. Marsh evidently jumped
for his life but was too late to leap
safely and was killed
The train was a way-freight which
runs between Milwaukee and Madi-
son. 1t is known as No. SO, and was
due in Madison at p. m. Saturday.
There were 20 cars in the train. A
wrecking crew and equipment was
rushed to the derailment and work
was carried on all night to clear the
track, which will be open again to
day noon.

HARDING DECLARES BIG
MERCHANT MARINE VITAL
President So Informs Commerce Con-
vention Delegates in Plea for
Subsidy Bill.

Washington, May 19.-Pleading for
the development Of an adequate mer-
chant marine in an address before the
convention of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce. President Harding
expressed the belief that the World
war could have been averted If the
United States had possessed mer-
chant fleet commensurate with it's po-
sition in the world
II am glad to come to you because
it is merchant marine day on your pro-
gram," the President said. There is
not one constructive thought in the
mind of the administration at the pres
.ent time that takes rank over desire
to firmly and successfully establish an
American merchant marine. do not
know of any nation in the world that
ever maintained eminence in trade that
was not eminent as a carrier Of
trade"
The President called attention to the
vast ship tonnage owned by the gov
ernment at the close of the war, max
ing it necessary for the government to
go into the commercial shipping busi-
ness.
Now" he said, 1--WE are asking con-
gress to give us merchant marine
law that will serve to take the govern
ment out of the marine business"
The President urged the Chamber Of
Commerce to support the ship subsidy
plan now pending in congress, the pro-
visions of which were explained to the
convention earlier in the day by Chair
man Lasker of the shipping board.

FOR IMPROVED HIGHWAYS.

Elsewhere in this issue of The
Democrat, We print an article under
the heading of Highway Construc-
tion," which gives information rela-
tive to the various Federal Aid Pro-
jects under construction and contem-
plated for the near future in the
counties of Grant, Iowa, Lafayette
and Richland. The projects are be-
ing carried forward under the direc-
tion of the State Highway Commits
sion, and in accordance with the good
roads laws of Wisconsin. 1t is pleas
ing to note that Iowa county is to
share in the road building program
for this year. The people of the
county should extend to the Commits
sion all possible announcement and
assistance in the work in which it is
engaged, for in so doing they will ad-
vance their own interests. 1t is self
evident that easy transportation of
people and goods from place to place
increases. property values and adds to
the comforts and conveniences of
life. If we act under the foolish no.
tlon that we can not afford to con-
struct roads that will be fit for travel
all the year round, we surely will
not be carrying out the motto of our
State. While other sections of Wis
consin are going forward in the mat
ter of road construction, we cannot
afford to go backward. We cannot
afford to be put down as "cave-men''
opposed to all efforts for advance
ment.

The Conference held at the Chateau
D'Argonne on the shore of Lake
Monona displayed the old time pep of
Army days, with the difference that
instead of dying to kill the Huns they
are living to serve their country and
their fellowmen and one topic dwelt
upon at length was the ways and
means of aiding the disabled ex-serv-
ice man. Other topics discussed were
The Legion and the Schools, The
Legion and Americanism, The Legion
and Civic Work, The Legion and Gov

After lunch everyone gathered
| around the front porch of the Cha

! given by members of the Legion and
Auxiliary. One stunt that took es-
pecially well was two whistling solos.
In one "The Dance of the Song birds
the notes were so clear and flute-like
and so like bird notes that the song
sters in the trees seemed to fit closer
and answer the notes. 1t was quite
noticeable. The writer heard this
conversation, "That girl was some
whistler, I'll say! Eth Bud" You
bet, but those dog-gone birds were
always buttin' in"
1t was the writer's opinion that
everyone attending the conference
gained new inspiration and strength
of purpose to Garry On" for the
sake of our "Buddies'' in the hospis
tails and other "Buddies" who on ac-
count of red tape can't get into the
hospitals and others who need help.
The Legion is doing big work and
has still bigger tasks ahead. One
million ex-service men banded to-
gether in this nation on one hundred
and ten millions can do wonders for
the good of their country. They are
doing things. One million of them
and there should be four million, five
hundred thousand. Buddies! where
are you? The Legion needs you and
you need the Legion. 1t should have
the loyal support of every Ex-Service
