TESTING OUT ROAD PAVING.

At Portland. Oregon, in 1915, six types of paving were laid on the Liunton road, and eXamina tion of them would settle lot of questions as the best paving.
 The road has carried all the traffic from Portland to Astoria, heavy passenger and truck traf- fic, and the test has been severe on ali types of concrete, wood block, bituithic and combina- tionS.
 The wood block on concrete cement soon "blew up" and had to be replaced in 1920 with as phaltic concrete. Two mixes of cement concrete have also gone to pieces badly. Without cushion they would not stand.
 Ia 1920 these two types were re surfaced with asphaltic con crete. The paving brick section has been repaired in places but still stands. The bitulithic sec tion shows Impressions but not crack or upheaval
 Asphaltic concrete on concrete base shows a few Impressions but has the smoothest surface, and on the old macadam base the bases have given away in a few places.

THE SPECTRE OF DEFEAT.

V heard from the Republican press regarding the Democratic state meeting in Tucson next month.
 After weeks of brotherly lad vice." offered solely in the hope of causing a break in Democratic ranks, The Dispatch and Citizen appear to have given pp their attem to point out that the meeting will be a return to the old convention system" The Republican party bit off more than it could chew when it under took to convince mem bers of the Democratic party that they should oppose the state meeting. The charge that the meeting was Q return to the con vention system was never based on anything but the desire of Republicans, to stir up trou ble. And the very few Democrats who believed this silly propa ganda at first are now wonder ing why they were taken m" even for second by such clumsy work on the part of the G. o. P.
 The Republican party will never offer advice" to Demo cratS unless the Repub ublican lead CTS think they see a chance to cause a pitt in tte Democratic party. The c. O. P. in Arizona is only interested in the affairs of the opposing party for one purpose; to prevent harmony from prevailing in Democratic ranks.
 Real harmony prevails in the party today: Arizona Democrats now present Q more united front than at any other time in his tory; old differences have been buried so deep that the most vigorous efforts of the Repub. lican press can not drag them to the surface again.
 That is the only thing about ries the Republicans-they see a Democratic victory looming up and are frantically resorting to every scheme in an attempt to head off defeat. They will not succeed. Republican promises of economy have been followed only by extravaganza; the G. O. P. return to normalcy" has proved a mirage. The Repub, lican party in Arizona finds itself without single achievement with which to refer to during the next campaign. More than a year after the need for re- treI chment was pointed out in detail, the state executive lock ed the barn after the horse was gone by calling a special session prop1iations.
 With nothing in their own re cord to talk about between now and the fall elections, the Re publicans' only hope is that they may cause q break in the Demo. era tic ranks in Arizona. That is why they are so interested in affairs that concern the Demo crats alone; that is why they are so eager to offer advice;" that is why they are so worried ab out the mythical return to the old convention system" that is why they are continually shout. ing about a 'plit" in the Demo cratic party, when no split exists.
 The fear of defeat, and they have good cause for fear, is the thing that is worrying the O. o. P. chiefs in Arizona. -Bisbee I}ovipw

STATE CAPITAL BUREAU
 THE AGE-HERALD. Mnrirnnnerr Ala Nov. l4

Roy Dickerson, noted bank robber, whose open boast has been that no tempered steel could remain barrier to his freedom. escaped from Kilby prison some time Tuesday. He was seen between 1o:15 and 1920 o'clock Tuesday morning. He was missing when the prisoners were checked at noontime.
 The call for help went from the state convict department to every sheriff and every police officer in this and neighboring states during the afternoon. but no information of his whereabouts has been obtained.
 An investigation was started by William F. Feagin. state warden gen. eral. at once. which will continue un- til some information has been ob- tained indicating the means of Dick ersonfs escape from the strongest place of confinement tho state af- lords.
 Ten guards were employed about the prison at the time of the escape. Five guards were on the prison walls. Three guards were watching the rroup of prisoners to which Dfcker- son was assigned One guard was on duty at each of the two openings. How Dickerson was able to elude them is a mystery.
 Carefully watched
 pickerson had been employed since August 22 in the construction of the prison cotton mill within the walls. No convict has ever been watched as carefully as he, due to his efforts to blow up the prison at Flat Top, Au- gust 19. J. L. Pittman, warden or kilbv prison, had instructed every guard in Dickerson's presence to shoot to kill the moment Dickerson took his first step towards freedom.
 pickerson has prison record which is unioue in Alabama. He has been involved in crime since he was II years old. His wife is now a state convict at Speigner, having been con- victed and sentenced to 10 years for complicity in the robbery or the phoeni K -tiirard bank in Russell coun- N. vtfnae which was engineered by Dickerson and fora tas comm ] ssio1 of which he pleaded guilty in Feb- ruarss and was sentenced to 70 years in prison. He would not have started service on this sentence until next February. having been confined since last February for previous assault with intent to rob imposed by the Montgomery circuit court.
 His Prison Record

When he was brought to Kilby prison he was placed in solitary confinement. classified Tn Class c, which includes the worst convicts, was required to wear stripes and was prohibited from writing or receiving letters and from having callers on visiting days His record had been fair, and under prison rules he was elevated to Class B last Fri day.
