CORINNE, Utah, July 23.-The
fingers of war today broke the last
link connecting this once rakehell
town with a riotous and colorful
past.
Salvage crews are tearing up the
steel rails where in 1869 at nearby
Premontory Gov. Leland Stanford
of California drove the golden spike
completing the first transcontinental
railroad. a juncture of Union Pa
cific and Central Pacific lines.
Navy Buys Salvage.
The Navy has contracted for all
steel and other salvageable ma
terial in the road, once the tie that
linked the East within the words
of Stanford-"America's new empire
in the golden West" but which for
the last 40 years has been only a
branch line. In recent years only
one train a week has passed over
the road.
A handful of houses, few
weather beaten business buildings.
a school and a church. housing and
serving Ali people, are all that re-
main of the frontier city that once
aspired to be the capital of Utah.
About all that is left are men,
ories of the days when divorce
could be obtained for $3.50 on prac-
tically mail order basis-without
the presence of the applicants
when cattle from the North packed
its stockyards en- route to market,
when gold and furs brought in by
stagecoach from Idaho and Mon
tana sought a safe shipping medium
to Eastern buyers.
Raided by Indians in 76.
The first great blow received by
Corinne was when Ogden. 25 miles
to the south, was chosen as q juno
ton point for the Union Pacific
Railroad. Later diphtheria cpl
demic swept the community. In
1875 Indians raided the town.
Then in 1903 the Southern Pa
cific Railroad. which operates over
the transcontinental route west OF
Ogden. constructed the Lucin cut
OF, bypassing the town as trains
roared across the shallow waters
OF Great Salt Lake.
The Corinne -Promontory branch
was ordered abandoned this spring
by the Utah Public Utilities Com
mission.

ton of democracy at work"
The election of the youth, James
Holland, one of only six Negroes in
a class of 402 students, was called
to DR.. Studebaker's attention by
Earl H. Hanson, superintendent of
Rock Island Public Schools, in a
letter which stated:
"The faculty, I have been assured
by the principal. had absolutely
nothing to do with the matter. It
was purely a spontaneous and dem
ocratic act.''
DR.. Studebaker then wrote Mr.,
Hanson:
81 appreciate your recent letter
advising me Of the election Of a
colored boy to the presidency of
the Senior Glass in the Rock Island
Senior High School.
"The recognition Of merit, as ex-
emplified in this act, is one of the
cornerstones Of our democracy. Ap-
probation of ability and worth in
individuals, regardless of race,
creed, or condition has a most salu-
tary effect on everyone concerned.
It's continuance and extension in
every area Of life is most desir-
able during these critical days, and
will go far in promoting national
unity and race and group under
standing which are SO vital to the
winning of the war and the peace
which is to follow.
The students Of the Rock Island
Senior High School are to be con-
graduated on this demonstration
of democracy at work; and the fac
ulty and community are to be COM
mended for having created an at
mosphere conducive to such an
act"
The Superintendent this week
wrote DR.. Studebaker:
Your letter congratulatine the
Rock Island Senior High Schools
Senior Glass upon eIecting a colored
boy to its presidency is very real
encouragement.
Il have had it copied and sent
to the high school for their salts

it is true too" One of the trio
observed one night as they tramp
ed the streets of New York hungry
and hearted that he didn't
want to set the world on fire. he
Just wanted q square meal and
q little better luck. s'Wait a min

REFERS TO MILLER
B, cliff Mlaekay.

are mistaken in our Interpretation
of democracy as meaning a voice
for ALL the people In deciding
who is to govern them. Such a
thing is dangerous thinking to Mr.
Gibson. He, like Alexander Hamll-
ton, thinks of the people "as q
great beast, who must be kept
under control by the privileged
few"
What better argument could
be made for the passage Of
the anti-poll tax bill. If ALL
the people i'm Mr.. GibsOn's dis
trict had been privileged to
vote, he certainly would not
be in Congress expounding this
undemocratic theory.
Mr. Patrick who was elected TO
Congress from Alabama by a great
er majority than any other, and
who was the lone deep South legis-
lator bravely favoring the passage
of the Geyer bill, sounded the
keynote to the twisted interpreta-
ton most Southern Congressman
put on the word democracy. He
said in his speech favoring the bill:
WOULD KEEP SOUTH
IMPOVERISHED
"The reactionary polirlcai and
economic interests would like to
keep the South in a semifeudal
condition. The Spokesman Of these
interests want to do nothing about
the pressing problems Of today.
They want to do nothing about
farm tenancy. They want to do
nothing about improving the con-
ditions of labor. They like to pirate
about democracy with a capital
3D." but they know nothing about
democracy with a small ID" They
like to invoke the name Of Thomas
Jefferson but they forget that
great sage of Monticello organized
the Democratic party as a means
of promoting and extending gen
uine democracy.
ssThe time has come to re-
turn to the principles Of JEFF
ferson, the principles Of Jack
son, and to rededicate the
Democratic Party in the South
to the welfare Of the common
man In deeds and not In mere
words
"We are not interested in vot-
ing as an empty symbolic form. We
are interested in voting as an es-
sential step in carrying out the
social and economic reforms which
the South needs more than any
other section of the country. A
land more richly endowed by God
and nature than any other section
supports q lower standard Of
living than any other section.
Why? Because above and beyond
all other conside ratiors-the gov
eminent Of the South has fallen to
so large an extent into the hands
Of the few without the participa-
ton Of the many.
MOST IMPORTANT STEP
ITO secure the participation OF
the many in the, government of
the South will not overnight solve
our problems. But Is obviously the
first and most important step.
Political democracy Is Necessary ii
order to achieve economic delnocA
yAcy, and both political and
economic democracy are necessary
Is give abiding form and substance
. the historic declaration that al
4ie8 are endowed With the rielat
u life, liberty and the pursuit 81
happiness"

sion now in training. This is the
Buffalo Division" of World War
fame which distinguished itself in
the hfeuse-Argonne Offensive.
The "Buffaloes" were organized
November 29, 1917, from the first
contingent Of Negro draftees ar.
irving at the various camps and
cantonnents through the United
States. The first unit embarked at
Hoboken, N j., reaching France

headquarters at Bourbonne-les

The 92nd reived great number
of citations and awards for dis
tineuisl1ed conduct on the battle
fields both Individually and COLI
lectively. On November 10. 1918,
an attack was made on Pagny a
stronghold Of the German line OPP
posite of Metz forts. In the general
advance, two hattalions of the 56tf1
Infantry, part of a French force,
became hopelessly ertangled in the
enemy's wire entanglements and
were being slaughtered by ma
chine-gun batteries. The 1st Bat
talon of the 367th Regiment. which
was on the left, came to their res.
cuse and held the position until
reinforcements arrived. For this
action the entire battalion was
awarded the Croix dc Gllerre by
the French military authorities.

the good order and happiness Of
men,"
Isn't that a classic defense Of
democracy, coming from man
attempting to argue against a
measure designed to extend the
benefits Of democracy?
And here's Mr.. Wilmington of
Mississippi, who was elected by a
mere 1890 votes out of q pos
sible $4,000 voters, saying his
little piece in the best Southern
contradictory tradition: "Constitu-
tional government is at stake to-
day. If constitutional government
is to continue, there must be a
Constitution and 1t must be OBJ
served, obeyed and followed"
WHAT ABOUT THE 14th
AMENDMENT?
One wonders if Mr.. Whiting
ton, the staunch defender Of the
Constitution is familiar with how
the 18th and 18th amendments are
being kicked around in his state.
Or if he has ever raised his voice
against this violation Of the Con-
stitution.
Gas for me-" ludricrously
summed up Brother Rivers,
who was sent to Congress from
| South Carolina by only 1890
votes out Of possible 100000,
'T prefer to be on the side of
democracy"
| And Mr.. Grant of Alabama,
speaking against the passage of
! the bill blandly confesses he is
really for universal suffrage. Here
are his own words: t'T want every
person to have the right to vote
who sincerely wishes to partici-
pate in clean government. I have
no fear of anyone voting in my
state. My heart goes out to any
one who wants to vote and cannot
| do So"
DELIVERS FITTING CLIMAX
OF course. Mr.. Grant kept these
| sentiments to himself when he was
getting elected to Congress by
35,40o votes out Of a potential 49,
600.
And delivering fitting climax to
this parade Of bigoted outbursts
was MIR. Gibson of Georgia, who
was elected by 24,5OO out OF a
possible SO, 700 votes.
Shouted Brother Gibson: eff this
philosophy OF government is not
| repudiated, I now warn the Aneri-
can people that the freedom they
have enjoyed as the fruit Of a great
and full democracy will not be
enjoyed by their children. I further
warn the American people that
while their sons are dying 81,
battlehelds abroad to preserve de-
mocracy concerted effort is being
exercised here at home to set IN
Dictatorship; and I am sad to
say that advantage is being nur-
pose1y taken Of our present emer-
gency to accomplish this dastardiy
purpose"
