Saratoga Springs, x, Y. Aug. 2e- One reason why American turfmen are beginning to fear Epinard, the visiting turf champion of France, is that he has the longest stride Of any known thoroughbred.
 Actual measurement shave shown that Epinard's stride is fraction better than 25 feet. No other great runner known to the turf can show a stride to match this.
 Epinard's present stride is better even than was Man O Wars when the great American horse was run ming at the top of his brilliant form.
 Horsemen say that Man O Wars maximum stride was 24 feet nine inches. These were his figures when he broke all time records in win ming the Lawrence Realization Stakes several years ago.
 Epinard is one of the longest horses for his height ever to be seen in action in this country. In this respect he is the freak of the turf.
 Nevertheless Epinard is capable of great speed and his abnormally long strides enable him to cover plenty of ground with each bound.

PARTISANSHIP
Blindly Followed Hurts
Dem0cracy's Cause, De-
clares Western
Governor

Springfield, Mass.-Blind partisan
ship was branded as "the curse of
democracy" by Governor Sweet, of
Colorado, in an address to confer
ence of church men in this city.
Corruption at Washington" he de-
clared, "was caused by blind ac-
ceptance of the will of the majority
imposed by false leaders,"
"A group of courageous, intrepid
senators who would not swear alle-
glance to the majority in their own
party made possible the exposure" he
said. Majority rule is a specious cry
when the government is being plum
dered by a corrupt majority.
Party leaders, both republican and
democratic, stand bound and dumb
before the fetish of party regularity.
We need to read and think more in
dependently. More and more the in
dependent voter without party bias
holds the balance of power in this
country"
Governor Sweet declared the elec-
ton of good men is not enough. Their
efforts are often made futile by cor
rupt business influences which will
not permit honesty in government.
Special privilege wants the vast gov
ernment-owned resources of coal and
timber lands, water power and oil, the
governor asserted
Again and again we have been told
that individual initiative and freedom
are fundamental to democracy" he
said. Il agree, but democracy does
not demand that few shall survive
while the many perish; that initiative
shall be stimulated in the lives Of our
captains of industry while this spirit
is being crushed out of the soul of
the workers.
'The fundamental cause of the
failure of democracy today is the un-
just, unworthy and wicked practices
of organized wealth. America will be
able to serve as a democracy, not
through material development, desir-
able as it may be, but through broth
erhood expressed in the processes of
our economic lif"

NON-UNION Mine
DEATH TOLL

Wheeling, w. Va.-The Benwood
mine that exploded and caused the
death of more. than 100 workers is
owned by the anti-union Wheeling
steel corporation.
The victims were of foreign nation
alities. They labored in this mine
without the slightest idea of danger.
For many years the Benwood mine
was owned by the Wheeling Steel and
Iron Company and was operated
under union conditions. Then came
the inevitable consolidation and the
organization of the Wheeling steel
corpt ration with its overcapitaliza-
ton and scramble for profits on
paper values. With this initiation
came anti-unionism, cheap labor and
q disregard of the workers lives.
At the present rate the year 1924
will make gruesome record for mine
deaths January 25, a gas explosion
in a mine at Jackson City, H., killed
81 workers. January 27, at Shank
town, Pa, 43 lost their lives; and on
February the bottom of lake over
the workings at Crosby, Mimi, caved
in and drowned Al workers.
On March 8 a triple explosion at
Castle Gate, Utah, killed 106 miners,
and the April 28 explosion of the
Wheeling steel corporations mine cost
Ill lives.

Keep Up The Fight, People!

Congress, the Progressives
have been able to hold the
Investigations of Teapot
Dome, high officials and nu-
merous departments that
are reeking with graft and
corruption.
In the House of Repre-
sentatives the Progressives
held up the election of the
Speaker until the Old Guard
leaders agreed to abolish
the pocket veto" whereby
the chairman of the Rules
Committee could hold up inn
portant legislation. They
also won a rule whereby $50
members can take a bill out
of Committee and vote on it.
This rule has already been
utilized by the Progressive
members in bringing out the
new railroad labor act.
The Progressives in the
House have just passed the
Child Labor Amendment by
vote of 297 to 50.
The Progressives, because
of their balance of power,
have been able to kill off
numerous vicious anti-labor
laws and other measures
which would take away the
rights of the people.
Space does not permit the
listing of the great achieve
ments of the Progressive in
amending other bills, which
work to the benefit of all the
people.
Progressives must not give
up the fight now. They have
just reached the turning
point in national affairs and
if they continue the fight
they will take the govern
ment out of the hands of
privilege and return it to the
people.

The great lack of interest
by the voters in recent pri-
mary elections proves that
they had no "choice" of can
didates. This apathy of the
people in many states where
only third of the voters
have turned out is causing
considerable alarm among
the Old Guard politicians.
They are wondering how
the people are going to vote
in the November election.
They know that they have
not trotted out very popu-
lar candidates because they
cannot stir the voters to the
old-fashioned torchlight, bal
lyho demonstrations.
Those who believe in pro-
gressive political action are
alive to the Importance of
the primary. 1t is the most
powerful weapon of democ-
racy. Progressives should not
become disheartened. In the
past few elections they have
defeated a large number of
anti-labor reactionaries and
the prospects are good that
a great many more will be
left at home during the COM
ing year.
The Progressives that have
been elected are not in the
majority. In fact, they are
a very small minority, but
they have accomplished
great results in short time.
The Progressives have re-
moved Daugherty - the in
junction expert - and arch
enemy of organized lazor.

complished this would be
