relative to Senate committee on

lwere members. In the committee
meeting the "old line" majority had
run roughshod over the Democratic
minority and to Carmack's surprise
Beveridge sat still and permitted the
unfair action Of the majority without
protest. As Beveridge and Carmack
walked side BY side out Of the COM
mittee room, Carmack said to his
companion "Beveridge, you are too
big man TO have acted as you did in
that committee meeting-I believed
you would be willing to give the mi
nority fair showing or words to
that effect. Carmack said that Bev-
eridge did not return a word of excuse
or defense but put his arm over Car
mack's shoulder and said "0ld fellow.
I'll not do that again" Such action
on the part Of Beveridge Indicated
that while he might commit a wrong
by force of political circumstances.

pie to defend it. Carmack both ad

Carmack had not fallen BY the bullet

1924 CAMPAIGN TOBE
 |NAUGURATEDW|TH JACKSON DINNERS

WASHINGTON, Cordell Hull,
 Chairman Democratic National Com
 mittee, has taken the initial steps
 for the holding of Jackson Day din
 ners, on or about January 8, through
 out the United States in order to
 promptly and properly utilize the fruits of the recent Democratic vic tory and to initiate the Democratic Presidential campaign of 1924
 He also suggests that other Demo cratic anniversaries and appropriate
 occasions be utilized in the same way. Chairman Hull had addressed let ter to Democratic National Commit teemen and state and county chair
 men suggesting that Jackson Day 1 be made the occasion for gatherings of Democrats ill every section as a means of inspiring members of the i party to keep alive the eternal priu- cipals and sound policies of the Democratic party and to renew their activity for the restoration of that party to complete power in 1924. He intends, so far as it lies in his power, that the Democratic Party in | the nation shall be a militant party,
 and there can be no more appropriate 1 time to infuse the spirit of militancy l into party organizations everywhere l than on the birthday of the greatest | of the militant Democratic party 1 leaders. - .
 Recognizing the great part played | by the press of the country in the recent campaign under his national 1 leadership, Chairman Hull is desif- ous of the fullest cooperation be- 1 tween party leaders and the Democra
 tic press i'll making the forthcoming | Jackson Day dinners the greatest l success of the kind in the history of
 the party. He believes that the keynote of victory in the 1924 cam l paign is a united democracy. From \ the beginning of his chairmanshiI Il he has devoted much of his time ant | ability to bringing together every
 discordant element and fusing then into a harmonious whole. The re
 suits of the late election bear evi
 dence of the soundness and success
 of this organization policy.
 If the plans of Chairman Hull fo the Jackson Day dinners throughou the nation shall be carried out in thu manner in which they are con
 ceived, the leading Democrats 0
 the nation as well as Democrats 0 local prominence will be speakers ol this great occasion, and with the ait of the press, both in promoting tn dinners and in reporting the results the campaign of 1924 will be initiated in a manner to inspire general part. activity, prophetic of national vic tory.

 Road Building Record for Year Highest In History Mcdonald

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Greater progress was made on the nations highways during the last year than in any similar period in the history of the country and there is now ap- parent real public appreciation of the importance of maintaining the roads that are built, declared Thomas H. Mcdonald, chief of the bureau of public roads, in his annual report to the secretary of agriculture, made public today.
 Industrial and financial conditions were better during the year., said MT. Mcdonald, and as a conse- Quence, remarkable progress has been made in highway construction under control of the states and coun- ties as we'll as under the joint con tIol of the government and states. Ten thousand miles have been ad- ded to the federal aid roads alone and doubtless more than equal mileage has been constructed with out federal assistance. More sig nificant however, than the progress of the physical work of road con-

TRAIN BANDIT IS VANISHED FROM
 THE STATE

TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 11.-Banish- 25 years and suspension of the i'm position of sentence for that period on condition that he leave the state within "A hours was the punishment meted out today to Frank W. Jirou, a confessed participant in the hold up of the Golden State Limited on the Southern Pacific railroad on the morning of May Is at a point. about eight miles west of Tucson. As Jirou is now 61 years old, the sentence is considered equivalent to banishment for life.
 In explaining the reasons for the sentence, Judge Kirk T. Moore told Jirou that he suspended the imposi- tion of sentence because of the prom ises of leniency which had been made to him by officers Investigating the crime on condition that he tell the
 names of the other members of the party and turn states evidence against them.
 Under the law, Judge Moore said
 the Iightest sentence he could give him would be 10 years in the state penitentiary, and he did not feel that this would be carrying out the prom l ises of leniency which had been made | to him. For this reason, the Judge 1 said, he would suspend the imposi- tion of sentence for 25 years. l The court explained that suspen- sion of imposition of the defendants sentence would be contingent upon i the rigid good behavior, and that
 any further trouble with the law in l the United States or its possessions
 would render him liable to be returned | immediately to Arizona to have sen | tence passed upon him for his crime | here
 During the 25 year period of sus-
 pension Jirou will be required to re port twice a month to the probation
 officer. in order that a check may 1 be kept upon his whereabouts. He
 may not enter Arizona at any time except by special permission of the i court
 Jirou was released from custody of 1 the sheriff shortly after 4 D. m. to-
 day and will be compelled to be outside the state by the same hour 1 tomorrow.
 In connection with the same crime, 1 George Winkler, Sr.. and his son. l Edward Winkler. were recently con
 victed following trial here ill su- perior court Both were implicated
 in the holdup through the comics
 sion of Jirou The elder Winkler was | sentenced to imprisonment for ten
 years. A suspended sentence of 10 | years was given the son.

the aim of which is to have complete and economical highway transporta- tion service throughout the nation. In his development, the adoption of the federal aid highway system provided for the federal highway act and the significant researches of the past year constitute the great est forward steps that have >ever been made"
 During the year, 7,460 miles of road projects were completed and 17,97S miles were under construction, which were estimated as 50 percent complete Federal aid earned by the states on completed and un- completed projects amounted to S194, ,56O, f35, of which $166,911 ,552 had actually been paid. The roads brought to completion averaged over 200 miles for each state. Texas had the largest completed mileage 933. Texas also received the largest payment of federal aid amounting to $5,915,046 and earned nearly S2,500,000 more.
 The increasing number of accidents at highway grade crossings has be- come a matter of grave concern says MT. Mcdonald and has led to the adoption of policy looking to the elimination of such dangerous crossings wherever practicable on federal aid highways.

 First of these is the passage of the federal highway act with it's plan for a connected system of roads for the whole nation; the second is the extraordinary activity in econo- mic and physical research in con- nection with the financing, location, management and design of the high ways For more than two decades, there had been in progress a slow but certain develop-casual activity in the hand of unskilled officials, with out plan or program, other than to maintain an established minimum facility of transportation, toward a reasoned industry in the hands oi the state and national officials, sup

GROWING ROSES.

If you did not start your rose bed
in the Fall, you may do it now. Clay
or heavy dirt is best for them and
they will need sunshine nearly all day
so should not be placed in shady
places, neither should they be ex-
posed to high winds.
Place them in beds by themselves
where nothing else will rob them of
nourishment A five foot wide bed
keeps the grass sufficiently removed
and enables them to be picked con-
veniently.
To prepare the soil, excavate it to
a depth of two feet. Put stone,
gravel or coarse cinders in the bot
tom to drain off the sub water from
the clay soil. Roses, like children,
will become sickly with continually
wet feet. Then mix the clay soil
which you have removed with rotted
manure, good compost, or ground
bone, and place it back in your rose
bed.
In this set out roses two or three
inches deeper than the plants were in
the nursery. Soak the soil and tramp
it down closely about the roots. The
plans should be spaced far enough
apart that the bushes will not crowd
one another when grown.
Two year old nursery plants are
best, but cost more. Prune the
plants leaving three to five eyes on a
stem.
Keep the surface soil continually
loose all summer as this holds the
moisture. When watering lay the
hose on the ground and thoroughly
soak the ground. Once or twice a
week is enough and it should be done
in the evening.
Suckers growing from the roots
should be removed, or they will sap
the vitality of the bush. You can
tell them from the bush by their hav-
ing more parts of the leaf, finer
thorns, and stock of different color.
To insure good bloom on your pres
ent rose bushes prune them back to
two thirds of their growth. You can
not have a bushy plant and good roses
at the same time.
