STORY OF BIG 01 DEI ST Ml
COST OF MANY
PAVING
(By William Allen White.)
The morning session of the demo
cratic national convention opened dull
and the aspect was spiritless. The
reportes heard with listless interest
the eulogy upon former Chairman
James K. Jones of Arkansas and the
younger men asked wien he was
chairman, while the elder men began
framing up some sort of a story that
would do for the day's work in lieu
of any news. A motion to adjourn
by Ollle James, recognized as Bryan's
floor leader, indicated that Bryan de
sired to postpone the convention's
real work until a night session, but
the galleries, being restless and anx
ious for excitement voted no, and the
delegates voted no and after some de
bate and another vote Chairman Bell
decided good naturedly to allow the
crowd to have its way. So he called
for Congressman Towne, who was
absent, and the crowd called for Gore
and for Folk and after trying to find
Senator Bode Taylor, the chairman
sent for Senator Gore of Oklahoma,
Gore Starts CabiUy.
Senator Gore Is blind, so there was
an unusual interest In him. He felt
his way about the platform, and let
his hands run over the desk before
him and he talked. He was a new
man and he seemed to be an enthusi
astic man. But to the crowd he was
a time-filler. No one paid any un
usual heed to his words, and no one
was expecting anything of Importance
from him. He talked about the Okla
homa constitution and said: "The
great war chief came to Oklahoma
and asked us to do what no Anglo
Saxon community ever has reject
a chance to obtain self government.
Then the greatest living exponent of
human freedom came to us and told
up to adopt our constitution, and by
a majority of 100,000 votes (here Gore
waved his hands dramatically) we re
jected the advice of Taft and took the
advice of Bryan."
That was all. He started again,
lifted his hands for silence, but the
heer swept over the crowd. Again
he tried to speak but the blaze of ap
plause was crackling In the uttermost
corners of the room In an Instant.
While the blind eyes of Gore were
wandering aimlessly over the audi
ence the crackling blaze of applause
broke Into a roar. The reporters look
ed at the clock, tore up their space
filling notes and by these signs showed
the event of the convention was at
hand. Gore had uncorked the com
pany fizz before the banquet was
ready.
The Rear Dance Begins.
The great crowd roared with Joy
and as it unbuckled its lungs In its
madness at the end of perhaps five
minutes of cheering, some one in
Pennsylvania grabbed the guidon of
that state and started to march to
ward Nebraska. Indiana and Illinois
followed, and soon half a dozen states
were marching at the big moon-faced
Bryan banner of Nebraska and In
these minutes two dozen states were
in the bear dance, with Jumping
guidons The band played "Hot
Time." and the crowd screamed with
delight Two dozen and then three
dozen state banners were romping
over the hall.
The crowd stopped at Maryland,
and then with a shout Maryland fell
In. Then many states were In the
procession. It went to the front of
the hall, as 10,000 en howled In de
lirium, and surrounded the Nebraa
ka banner. That was after the cheer
ing had lasted $0 minutes. Then the
phalanx at the speaker's platform
went back and surrounded New Tork,
but New York remained unmoved.
Spontaneous as Beldam.
The madmen capered- to Minnesota.
But the seven Btrong men and true
grouped the Minnesota banner and
held It fast Some Kansas fellows
were going to steal It and the word
got to Minnesota and she got ready
for a fight There was a fight over
the New Jersey banner, and a struggle
to get Delaware to move. The crowd
in the galleries saw the milling of
the human ants on the floor and
bawled itself hoarse at the crazy
sight.
SiK)iitaneous at Bedlam.
The roar of the crowd was growing
steadier and the march of the de
lighted demons on the floor was
growing more and more grotesque. It
was more than spontaneous; it was
accidental, and as the crowd went
wild the reporters thought of poor
General Clayton, who has been work
ing for two weeks on his speech as
permanent chairman to arouse Just
MATERIALS
The first attempts to pave streets
with wood, three-quarters of a cen
tury ago, were failures, and for years
after no satisfactory progress was
made, says a paving review,
The blocks were round, which left
large unequal spaces between them.
Their edge broke down and wore off,
the wood rotted, and the pavement
was soon uneven and rovlgh, and
therefore difficult to clean and un
sanitary. At the present time, through the se
lection of suitable woods, cutting the
blocks Into rectangular shape so that
their edges may lie close together,
and treating them chemically to In
crease their durability wood pave
ment Is better in many respects than
any other in common use. It is
smooth, quiet, resilient, easily cleaned
and easily repaired.
In wearing qualities It Is superior to
macadam, brick or asphalt, and in
ferior only to granite and sandstone
In sanitary qualities it exceeds all
but asphalt.
No road surface Is easfer to draw
a load upon, or, as it Is put in tech

forth. There were eagles on perches pavement stands above
dancing above the crazy crowd, cow
girls marching through the throng
yelling, bands tooting In the breath
ing spells, favorite daughters of the
various delegations on the platform
waving the banners of the states.
There were banners of marching clubs
mottoed banners like that of Michi
gan, bedizened in gold with the mot
to of the Omaha platform, "Equal
rights to all, special privileges to
none." There were old men and
young men gyrating in the din and
the noise never faltered nor needed
claque to keep It going, and the;
clock went round and half way round
again as this pandemonium raged,
and above It all there was the pale
face of Grover Cleveland, the leader
forgotten, the prophet whose doctrine
was discarded, solemnly gazing down
on the scene.
And still Georgia did not budge. The
young man wno directed tne music
In the gallery saw the delegates
crowding around Georgia, and being
a young man and from north of Mason
and Dixon's line, he played "Marching
Through Georgia," and that set the
hair on Georgia, and nothing of the
north could have budged her. And
so, slowly the roar died down and
the convention went back to sanity.

But It was a great demonstration
the greatest ever made In America.
The 50 minutes' cheering to Roosevelt
was a goodby to a party leader. It
will be Interesting to watch and wait
for another four years to roll around
and to note whether the demonstra
tion of goodby to the leader whom
this, convention honored will be as
sincere and hearty as that with which
he is greeted today.
The calm, pale face of Grover Cleve
land, looking across at Thomas Jef
ferson on the other side of the hall,
might have winked slyly as he thought
of the little sigh of goodby which the
convention bestowed on him yester
day. How soon we are forgotten
when we are gone.

The first cost of creosoted wood Is

an average of $3.50 for Bandstone,

Untreated American red gum, tried
In England, raised great hopes, but It
finally proved unsatisfactory. Pave
ment of Australian eucalyptus has
lasted for from fifteen to twenty years
In the streets of London. It Is more
slippery, however, than American
woods, and Its cost, about $5 per
square yard In the United States Is
prohibitive. .
In recent years the difficulties
which attended the use of wood pave
ment have been largely overcome by
better methods of handling, treating,
and laying the blocks. Crosote Is
the best of the preservatives In com
mon use for wood pavement. Since
it Is Insoluble In water, It does not
bleach out, and If a sufficient amount
Is Injected Into the blocks It prevents
the entrance of water, which weak
ens the pavement.
The blocks should be rectangular
In shape. For heavy traffic their
depth should not be less than four
Inches. The usual width Is three or
four inches, and the best length from
six to 10 Inches. They should be laid
with the grain vertical, on a concrete
foundation, haying a thin cushion of
sand or other material. . ,
