THE RICHMOND PLANET VOLUME XXVII. NO. 12 Mr. Watkins Speaks. Discusses Our Position. Fort Russell, Wyo., Feb., 7, 1910. Editor John Mitchell, Jr. Dear Sir:— Your editorial of the 5th inst., strikes a note of profound truth that will resound through ages or time. We cannot afford to be whiners. A whining spirit is a wet blanket to the highest aspirations of man. "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," is a scientific truth that is now being recognized by thinking people. We cannot think of race discrimination and race progress at the same time. Race discrimination places the Negro as an inferior race. To get away from inferiority, we must think about superiority. Thought is the mental eye that leads us. We must ever face and march in the direction of our thoughts. We cannot afford to think inferior thoughts. The fact as to our merited place in the procession of human progress, or our ability as marchers, remains unaltered by any epithet that may be hurled at us. Paul says, "I am what I am." We are what we are, and our goal is that which we hope to be. NO RIGHT TO COMPLAIN We have no right to complain because the white hotel proprietors of white Providence, A. L., chose to employ white waiters instead of black ones. Such was their prerogative, and such would have been ours, had we been placed in a similar position. There is no injustice in the matter. If, as a race, we are ever to plant our banner on the pinnacle of our present hopes, race discrimination will be one of the potent factors in effecting it. Some of us will never learn to swim in the sea of progress until we are thrown into it, and in this emergency, our efforts to keep afloat will determine our right to live. Shall we as freedmen still whine and beg to be slaves? Shall we with our master abilities, still beg to be servants? Forbid it Almighty God! We shall not continue to be human, parasites; we shall be producers. We shall not be the mistletoe; we shall be the oak. SHALL BUILD ON OUR SIDE Recognizing a color line (in a physical sense) we shall build on our side of it, and ultimately shall be well able to measure arms with the fellow on the other side. We aim for that place in the evolution of our race that any member of us who enters into the employment of a Caucasian, does so from choice and never through necessity. In spite of all the shadows of the past, In spite of evil whispers on our way; In spite of every spectacle, expect In spite of every spectacle aghast We'll blaze into the blackest night a day. The space in which I move shall know that I Ne'er met a task to bend or whine or cry, We can and will dispel grim fortune's frown, Ne'er hopeless in a failure or a fall. The efforts of our lives shall win their crown, In spite of it all. Yours very truly, LUCIAN B. WATKINS. D. M. T. Resolutions Richmond, Va., Feb. 1, 1910. This is to certify that Sister Julia Smith was a member of the Maceo Court, always ready to respond when duty called.

C., A. E. JACKSON, R. of D. Anti-Saloon League Answer. Richmond, Va., Jan. 28, 1910 Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., Editor of The PLANET. Dear Sir;— Much has been written of late in the daily papers regarding the influ- ence that the liquor dealers were exerting in securing the registration of colored people and any others they could count on to vote their way, whenever a temperance contest should occur at the polls. I notice with regret the action of the Langston Literary Society, in denouncing the Anti-Saloon League for classing the colored voters as all whiskeytees, such is not the case the greatest of all moral questions with which we have to handle at the polls. Every christian, regardless of color, creed, or politics, are supposed to array themselves in solid phalanx against the monster evil, the greatest enemy the church and the home has to con- front. HAVE SUFFERED MOST The colored people we think have suffered more proportionately than the whites, from the debauching and debasing influence of the drink habit. How many might have had homes of their own, if they had not unfitted themselves for life's combat by spending of their substance, both monetary and physical, in the indulgence or intoxicating liquors? Our bible teaches that "They who are strong, should bear the infirmities of the weak." And how can we better do it than taking away from them the temptation to do themselves a great wrong? The writer well remembers the local option contest of twenty-five years ago, when some of the most fluent and earnest advocates of temperance, were the colored speakers. I have no data to show the percentage who voted on the liquor side. We lost the election, but never heard it charged to the colored voters. WANTS THEM UNIFIED So please Mr. Editor, do what you can to unify your people in the contest which is to come on the side of God and humanity. Take the liquor traffic out of this old world, and the evils it is the parent of. It would be a comparative Eden. The liquor manufacturers and dealers alike, were they not blinded by the glare of the money they make out of it would not stand in the way of the consumption of so beneficent a condition as the world would present with this—manhood destroying agent eliminated.

THINGS WHICH CANNOT BE REGULATED BY LAW Editor Richmond PLANET, Dear Sir:— I have no desire to enter into a controversy with you over the rapidly increasing submergence of the colored race. The situation which confronts us is too alarming to permit of contentions between those concerned, beyond the sole and honest purpose of getting at the truth, and reaching some common ground of action. My position on this question is the result of constant and life-long study and observation. For all this, I do not presume to "know it all" with reference to this situation, nor do I suppose that you hold your position to be absolutely impregnable. If you can prove by logic and reason wherein I am wrong in a single particular, I would be false to myself, false to the race and false to humanity, if I failed to heartily welcome and acknowledge such proof. On the other hand, I have a right to assume that, in the interest of the race, you will be glad to sink all feelings of a personal nature and recede from any position which you (Continued on Eighth Page) The many friends of Special D.

CHARITY PATIENT BURNED TO DEATH Eva Parsons, Four years Old, Ignited Her Clothing While at Play. Richmond, Va., February 11.—Eva Parsons, four years old, died at 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the City Hospital from burns received at 2 o'clock at the Associated Charities Building, at Fourteenth and Franklin Streets. There were no eye-witnesses to the accident, but a woman, who had charge of the children, made a vain attempt to extinguish the flames before the victim had been severely burned. The child's mother, Mrs. Nellie Parsons, left the room a few minutes before and a sister and brother, who were in an adjoining room, were both young to realize the situation. When the girl was first seen after her clothing caught fire she had a blazing stick in her right hand, and it is believed that she was playing in an open grate when her clothing caught. RUSHED TO HER AID Her screams attracted the attention of Dr. and Mrs. Buchanan, both of whom rushed upstairs, but too late to render any assistance. The child, before they appeared, had been taken back into the room, and was lying unconscious on a bed. Dr. Davis, of the ambulance corps, was the first, physician to arrive, and he at once removed the sufferer to the hospital. There was never any chance of saving her life. The girl's entire body was burned except the feet, which were protected by shoes. Those who were with the child say she suffered intensely before death relieved her; but she never regained consciousness, and may not have felt the pain. The body was removed to Billups's undertaking rooms, and the funeral will take place from there today. Mrs. Nellie Parsons, mother of the child, whose husband has deserted her, applied for admittance to the charities building several days ago, and as her story seemed plausible she was given a flat on the second floor, and at her request an open fireplace was provided. MOTHER SEEKS SEPARATION. The family formerly lived on West Clay Street, but Mrs. Parsons declares she expects to seek a legal separation as soon as she is in a position to do so. The family came here from Gordonville, and the best recommendations produced by Mrs. Parsons are letters from an Episcopal minister, in which he has frequently inclosed funds to aid in her support. Mrs. Parsons returned to the charities building less than an hour after the tragedy. She fainted when the news reached her, and all last night she would not be quieted. The accident is described by Dr. Buchanan as having been unavoidable. The children were constantly in care of a nurse, and Eva was thought to be asleep at the time she came running through the hall in flaming clothes. The accident is the first that has ever occurred in the building since Dr. Buchanan has been in charge.—Times-Dispatch MR. BUSH'S OBSERVATION (Junk Smith), Died There. Mr. Andrew M. Bush, of New Bedford, Mass., sends us his subscription to the PLANET and says: "This has been an anniversary year for me. On the 12th of January, my wife and I passed our fiftieth marriage anniversary. On the first of February, I received the congratulations of patrons and friends at my place of business. Should I live until the 8th day of April, I will be 72 years old. Therefore, I think I have much to be thankful for. By the way, I noticed by the morning's paper that one of your townsmen is to be buried here this P. M. Mr. James C. Smith was born in this city, but went to Richmond after the evacuation by Gen. Lee and engaged in the junk business at I think, 1728 Cary Street. In 1872, I passed through Richmond on my way to Charleston, S. C., where for one year, I managed a junk business for the firm or Smith, Potter & Co. and that year paid out thirty thousand dollars for old junk. We built up in that year a good business, but the climate did not suit me and I did not like the South, and at the end of the year, I returned home. Mr. Smith and I went to school together in this city. When he was last here, he came in to see me and was surprised when he looked in my back shop and saw about twenty people, white and black, all working together. He had gotten to be a typical southerner. Resolutions Richmond, Va., Feb. 8, 1919. This is to certify that Sister Mary E. Jackson was a member of Verbena Court, No. 61, I. O. Calantha.

CHAPTER XII SOMEWHERE on the east side, beyond boundary park and living place with their beautiful old houses where poverty and suffering are all at hand and which are commonly termed the slum"—some where there we say in one of the smaller tenement buildings some months later Miriam Challoner one time woman of society took refuge. In a far corner of one of her two little rooms was a store on which a frugal meal was cooking—a meal that in former days she would not have thought possible even for her servants. At the window of this room which was bedroom and living room combined upon a small table was a typewriter before which sat Miriam Challoner in a somber dress. She was pate and her face was grief attentive—the look of a woman acquainted with grief. Suddenly she lited and fingered the copy lying on the table at her right. Twenty more pages I can't do them now she muttered and crossing the room there herself upon the bed a cheap bed that grounded as if it felt her weight upon it "I tired I am tired she meant Suddenly she sat but upright for the sound of a knock on the door had to be her ears A moment more and she was at the door For a second Miriam looked at her own eyes Then she looked half joy fully half regretful "Why it is Sharley Blissgood Oh why did you do so "What did you do for me?" quickly returned Sharley I have ears bed for you for him as it was only yesterday I learned from Stevens where you were who the way had ordered for you who abouts "But will I do Miram protected Sharley stood for her arms saying "I do remember now.

"Oh yes he knows but we never ask questions. Why should we? I shall never forget him. I remember him in my dreams. He was honest he kept his word. Shirley smiled a grim smile. "Murgartroid the man with a price." "I can't forgive myself, alghol Miriam." "You? What for pray?" asked Shirley "For blurting out in the courtroom what I did when the jury found Laure guilty. It was treacherogh I had promised don't you see?"

"Who wouldn't with stolen money to back him" Bhirley exclaimed "He's doing good work with it. He's breaking up the organization in the side ring. I'm sure that his work is felt even over here in the slums." And then she added rehematically, "But his best work will be over when he breaks up Cradlebaugh." If he "—" After he downs Cradlebaugh, interrupted Shirley. "I hope he downs himself. That's my wish forilly Murgatroyd." "Murgatroyd is honest." protested Miriam. "You mistake his motive, Miriam went on Shirley. "He's frightfully ambitious. Why." went on Shirley, "he's planning to go to the senate." But she did not add that she had put the idea into his head. "Think of Ellis Murgatroyd being senator." He'll ask a billion. the next time he's bedgid! Instead of a million." "You forget reminded Miriam, that I stand up for Murgatroyd " "Door Miriam" sighed Shirley to herself. She always was easily fooled. A moment inter she excited, "A typewriter!"

It is the speaking tube, said Miriam trembling, that the next instant she was in a little dark above calling down the tube. Suddenly the door opened. It was thunderous with great violence and liness. I watched a hunter camp into the room with the stamp of the gutter up on it. Here Mr. Mitchell is the note of the day, and for a time he set it for a friend. But soon he removed it. He removed it from the ring when I was so sick for phone. I'm a student of it, and turned it before. I don't get it on the chiffon of our wrist. And she was gone. Miriam knew that there never had been such a thing. Pushing the ball she asked to the other to come back, but Shirley was we out of hearing. Shirley's flight did not worry that loner. He took advantage of Miriam's temporary absence to steal to the hotel former and to seize the fifty dollar bill. Miriam entered as he took the money. But that back she ended. We are not there. I'm going to send it back to Shirley. 'What do you think I am that loner grinned a foot?'

"Stop!" she cried in a hard voice. "What are you going to do?" he demanded. THE RICHMOND PLANET. RICHMOND. VIRGINIA. "What am I going to do? I know what you're going to do!

Oh! it does me good when I recall the day that Professor Murgatroyd told those twelve men the kind of man you were," she declared scornfully. But now I am going to do more to you than you ever did to me more than Murgatroyd did to you. I'm going to tear your soul out Yes you've got a soul or I would never have gone down into the depths with you. But now I am through sorry you without reeling so much as a smile she continued fiercely, her body swaying but her arm still true I didn't ask for my rights or my just doubt. A smile and a kind word now and then are all I ask. My pride is not all gone. I like to be proud of you just once. I am about to my friends to my dearest friends and you to me with the miserable touch. I like you, you touch all your wishes. I coming to you even when you killed. I coming to you now I knew that someone within you there was something that I loved for me that during my vacation. But feeble as it is, I will do it. And you are the only one but a thing with out the soul that I care for. But I m thought of you. I am going to kill you if you move I am through with you through. The next moment she displeased the weapon and it feel chattering to the floor. At that instant Shirley Bloodgood once more entered the room. Mitten burst forth into another wild laugh and threw herself into the arms of the girl unconscious. Stars fainted, said Shirley. CHAPTER XIII THE following morning James Lawrence Challenger did that which he had never done since his marriage he started out to look for a job. Had he been given to self analysis he would have known that it was Martina's wrath in her adversity that had kindled into fame the dying spark of his manhood. "I must find work!" he said over and over to himself. "Work" replied the man inside the shell of Challenger "With the 'glinneys'" "With the 'glinneys.'" assented Challoner The foreman stared. "All right. Let's have your name." Challoner hesitated. A new light shone in his eyes as he said "Challoner-J I." And all that day he worked—worked with his hands and with his feet—worked with the gang tamping concrete. After two hours of it Challoner thought he would drop in his tracks. It so happened that his work was on a new department store. Concrete had suddenly come into prominence as a building material. Challoner and the gang stood inside a wooden mold some two or three feet wide and as long as the wall which they were building; another gang poured in about them a mixture of sand, cement and stone. Sand, cement and stone meant nothing to Challoner except that when those three things were mixed with water and dumped into his trench he had to lift his tamper and pound the mixture into solidity in order to make the wall hard and smooth. For days he was stiff, tense, and sore all over. In his soul he wanted to die, but he lived on. And then, much to his amazement, he found that the harder he worked, the better he felt. The poison of the dissolute living was working to ward the sadness. Finally, the doctors allowed him to visit Mitam in the hospital. --- "I've got a job, dear," he whispered to her. Those five words were a history to Miriam. After a little while Miriam put out a thin hand and let it rest in his, saying: "How much do they give you, dear? Not without a suggestion of pride in his voice, he answered: "A dollar and a half a day." A mere pittance, yet the woman's face was radiant with joy. It was not long before Challoner found that his arms and back and shoulders were perceptibly enlarging. And then a greater joy—he realized that his soul was surging back into his body. He had driven it out, but it would not stay away. From time to time Challoner noted that the taming was developing him too much on one side. With the long brown handle, the weight down at the end, his downward stroke had been a right handed one. So now he tried using force from the left side. And with that Challoner made a discovery. After many experiments it had been gradually borne in upon him that light but incessant and vigorous tapping in one spot was more effective than the heavy battering strokes employed by the Italianans. "If the tampers were only light enough, he argued to himself, 'a fellow could almost use two of them—one to each hand.' And so he tried it with the two tampers that were on the work, but they proved to be too heavy. Then one night he made a pair of lighter ones and experimented with them. It was too much of a strain. He could not handle them satisfactorily. Somehow the work needed the concentrated fort of two arms. All one night he sat up trying to figure it out. "And yet, he assured himself repeatedly, 'I'm on the right truck.' And so it proved, for at 4 o'clock in the morning the idea came. 'Ive got it,' he exclaimed, jumping to his foot a pump handle." A week later Challoner rigged up a simple constance depending upon strong leverage one that would do the work of a man much more easily. "It will do the work of too," he told himself. But when Challenger had taken it to the works the authorities required him permission to use it. "This here is a real job. We haven't time to monkey with things like that," they told him with a sneer. But Challenger was not to be turned aside easily and still he persisted. "It will do the work of two." He now rigged himself up a small trial bolt bought some sand and cement and rock and demonstrated the superiority of his pump handle convolvant with its strong leverage, its regularity and its strong steady beat boat, beat with two light tampers upon adjacent spots. When they knocked off the mold these same authorities found that Challenger was right. This bit of concrete wall was as solid as if it had been cut out of smooth aznook so they called out. "All right Challenger, try it!" Challenger tried it on the big wall. It worked like a charm. At the pay window at the end of the week (customer said I want $200 a day. What for? asked the voice inside halloner realist firmly. Because I have done the work of more than two men. He was paid at the rate of $2 a day. Now he was allowed to have one of the corners all to himself for his con- trience. They laid off two men halloner was doing the work of three men. 11: boss was tubilant "Yes." I guess we'll get this job done on time after all. I thought the old man was in for a few lines after. "No maybe else tried Challenger's device not only else knew how to use it. It found that in his urgency he inquired three times as hard as before. Besides he was even better at the work than the Indians who knew it, had become accustomed to it and who were better fitted for it. And yet there was nothing wonderful in this contrivance of his. But Challenger was convinced that if some time he could induce the boss to put it into constant operation it would save that gentleman a great deal of money. Nor did it ever enter Challenger's head to have it patented. Its principle was that of the letter, and, of course even if he had tried, he could not have obtained a patent. In no way was there a dollar in it. "But," he told himself, "if ever I go into this concrete business I shall in sit upon its usn. As a business," he went on, "what can be more profitable than concrete? It produces a wall as solid as a rock and as indestructible as brick. Bricklayers receive $5 and $0 a day, and brick costs money. But this sand, cement, stone and unskilled labor"— Challoner could see millions in it. Meanwhile he was useful at two and a half dollars a day. Now they determined to put his brain to work for them. It became his duty to direct the mixing gang at his end of the new store. "Don't forget, now; watch out," said the superintendent, taking his aid as—"so many barrels of cement, so many barrels of sand and so much stone." The very first day that he watched the mixing process he discovered that the mixer had put in too much rock and too much sand add too little cement. "Look here," cried Challoner, "you've made a knife sake! Two more barrels of cement do in flare." But the mixer literally grinned. "Two more battles of cement, I told you," praised Challoner. The head department had given him his instructions, and Challoner meant to see that they were properly carried out. The mixer grinned again. Challoner leaped up on the platform and stood over the mixer; it, that the man waved his arm. His signal brought not the head department, but the general foreman of the work. "What's his tremble," he demanded. Challoner explained for few words. "You blamed idiot" hunt out the raging foreman. "You leave the man close! Do you think that he doesn't know how to milk concrete?" But Challoner now was not a man to be so easily turned from his orders, and again he insisted: "Two more barrels of cement, I told you!" A aot of laborers gathered around them to await the result. The foreman saw that the head superintendent was coming toward them. "All right, then," he conceded reluctantly; "make it two more barrels of cement." But that same afternoon the foreman singed Challoner out and paid him. Then he junged out, and, striking Challoner on the shoulder, he exclaimed: "There, you infernal jackass, you're discharged." "Discharged!" "The exclamation fall from his lips before Challoner could check it, and, notwithstanding his great disappointment, he turned on his heel and left. He brought his case before the head superintendent, who said: "If Perkins discharged you I can't help it. I won't interfere." "But what was I discharged for?" "Oh, come now!" cried the superintendent. "You must know that you were discharged for stealing cement!" Stunned for a moment, Challoner said not a word. Then slowly he began to understand Graft" "Yes, that was the solution of the matter. After this incident Challoner cultivated a habit of strolling into the offices of the various offices in the city. "What are the proper concrete proportions?" was his request in all of them. Charts were taken out and consulted. There was no difference of opinion. All agreed that the head superintendent's figures were out of the way, and by one barrel of cement. Graff! There was no doubt about it in his mind and he proceeded to figure out just where the trouble lay. On that department store job there were several mixers. On every mixing the head superintendent made one barrel of cement. There were several foremen. On every individual mixing the foremen severally made two barrels of cement. In every mixing three barrels of cement were left out. But what about the scallion? Challoner asked himself when once more alone. Challoner was quick to seize his opportunity. Besides he was conscious that a duty rested upon him, lay and night he scanned the papers, and when he found a contract recorded he looked up the owner saw him personally and told him facts. Some contractors be acknowledged were honest but many were careless. And then the foremen on these jobs unquestionably were poorly paid. Surely the tempations were great. "You don't say so, the owner would repeat And when the job started this owner would put a competent man on to oversee it. Frequently it happened that this man was J. L. Chandler. The time when he made $5 a day. Moreover the time when many of the good concrete walls in town were strength to him. But even though his time was full it did not interfere with a contractor's interest in the evolution of concrete and concrete graft nor was he show to recognize its value to politicians. And so when the ring sprang its itt the surprise handler knew what was coming A new cone rot hospital said the Ting and they foresee a new concrete jail. Possibly they could go still further. If they could educate the people up to it they might have more new concrete city buildings. However the new concrete hospital came first. It was one-third finished when J. L. Challenger applied for and secured a job as foreman of the mixing gang on the east wing. Great Scott. The graft in cement is appalling. Challenger explained before he had been on the work twenty minutes. He found that the hospital was being built chiefly of sand and broken stone. I have to see him boys," the superintendent said. "We must have him in with us. But Challenger could not be "seen." To the contractors the superintendent remarked. "Challenger is a dangerous man." "Oh hell come around all right!" they assured him. "They all do." The ring" the inner circle of the politicians descended on Challoner like a cyclone "Come come" they said. "What's your price?" Name it and shout up "Challoner still shook his head. "It's a case of using force" they told each other. "I have got to tell somebody about this," Challoner assured himself, and then an inspiration came to him. "I know. I'll go to Murgentrud." CHAPTER 51V It is, of course not given us to know what dreams of fame were. Murgatroyd's when he determined to throw down the gage at the feet of Cradlebaugh's; but, at all events, it took the best kind of courage and mettle, and certainly from the hour that he had sent for Pemmican and placed him on the rack in a vain attempt to get evidence he had never ceased his investigation of the big gambling house. However, Murgatroyd had discovered that he was battling not only with a single institution, but with a huge political principle—he was at war with a big city. Another man might have been discouraged, for millionaires, large property owners, repentable taxpayers, statement of the highest order and even his best friends came to him and begged him to call off his ordeal, but he only shook his head. As he proceeded he shook the discovery that a political organization is not an organization—it is a man; that crime is personnel and that corruption is concrete. Then one day Mizley and McGrath burst into the prosecutor's office. "Chief," responds out Mizley, "provenly, McGrath and me has got the goodbye, McGrath pulled from his pocket a Dulity document made up of depositions While Murgatroyd read the document his subordinates stood watching him with auxiliary eyes. Long before A "His name is Graham Thorne." he had concluded they saw in his face the expression that they had waited for. "By George, you don't mean it!" exclaimed Murgatroyd, smiling his desk with terrific force. "You can bet your bottom dollar that we do!" returned Mixley. "I've waited for this for many months," the prosecutor said grimly. He ordered his men to summon Broderick and Thorne. An hour later they made their appearance. Murgatroyd passed over a box of cigars. Broderick lighted and, after pulling contentedly for a time, commented "Good cigars, these. Strikes me that they're your first contribution to the campaign fund oh!" And with a wink at Murgatroyd, he asked Any Challenger money in these? Murgatroyd smiled grimly. "I wanted to have a little confident talk with you gentleman." Broderick nudged Thorne and remarked "Perhaps he's goin' to divvy?" Murgatroyd languaged "I'm not going to divvy up, as you call it. Just yet—not just yet," he replied politely Broderick shut his eyes and digested the reply Murgatroyd turned to Thorne "I wanted to have a talk," he said casually "with the man who owns Craddlebaugh's" Thorne looked about the room, then he inquired innocently "He doesn't seem to have arrived as yet. Where is he?" Murgatroyd answered quietly "Oh ye he has His name is Graham Thorne" Murgatroyd could see the pastor of Thorne's face turn to a deeper white. Thorne rose and said indignantly "Say that again" "With pleasure" returned Murgatroyd "I say that you are the bithertor unknown owner of the most noirous gambling house within the state" "This is preposterous" exclaimed Thorne Thorne took another tack "What evidence have you I should like to know?" he said. You can't prove these things Murgatroyd " "That returned Murgatroyd, in for me to worry about not you. I'm going on and when I'm through you can stake your last dollar that I'll know all about this petition system that you call your organization from the most in significant ward politician up to Peter Broderick " The accusing forelinger shifted from Thorne to the county chairman, who all at once felt that his courage was slipping from him. "I've got to see a man he began nervously and stole softly and almost on tiptoe to the door. "Broderick" thundered Murgatroyd, "I want you in this office tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock - alone. If you don't come I'll send for you Understand." "The theme, we went on Murgatroyd, "I sent for you to tell you to close up Cradleburg's if you don't." And "what about you?" broke in Thorne "Are your hands clear?" The tiger leaped into Murgatroyd's face His eye dashed two. "I'm talking about you now," be answered quickly. "You are sworn as a counselor to uphold the law You have lined your pockets with the coin of suicides, proligates like Chailoner "Yes, he went on. and there is something more. Thorne." His voice dropped to a whisper "You have the effrontery to pay attention to" Thorne interrupted him, his tone leaping at once into insolence. "So that's how the land tiles, is it? Well, let me tell you something. All my life I have had the things I wanted. I wanted money: I got it. I wanted power, social and political; I get it. I have always progressed. You have said that I would be senator if I could. I tell you that I shall. You have hinted at a woman who is worth while. Well, I'm going on and on and on, in spite of you." "You are going on to your finish," returned Murgatroyd. "I have only just begun, with you." Thorne glanced uncertainly at the prosecutor. Thatre recognized the danger. Murgatroyd had been getting indictments lately and for every indictment a conviction. Behind the people liked Murgatroyd. Thorne believed in compromise. He extended his hand. "Look here," he said, nother of us can afford to have things like these talked about. "Don't let us all mind. Let's do it in the open." Why don't you get yourammunition to open the box of your presenter. "Why didn't you snapped Thorne. You'll and my ammunition in the open. Thorne. rellled. Margaret, the next time, the instillation needs to choose a senator!" Thorne's insolence returned. "Not with dollars coloned from Craddlebaugh nor from corruption," declared Murgatroyd. Thorne's eyes narrowed. "Murgatroyd," said he, "you reckon without your host, no matter who owns Craddlebaugh." The organization has its finger on every grand jury, every petit jury, every judge. You must beat Peter Broderick and the organization, and until you do this you can't beat me. You can't prove your assertions. The organization backs me up." "If your name," retorted Murgatroyd deliberately, "is presented for senator it will be withdrawn, and mine will be presented in its place." The next day at 4 o'clock there was a resounding rap on the prosecutor's private office door. Peter Broderick came puffing into the room. Neizing a chair, he drew it up to the desk and sat down, saying: "I never refuse an invitation to see n than alone. "Do you know, Murgatroyd, the politician went on, that I haven't had a good chance to talk to you since the Challenger case--you've been so blamed odish. But now, here I am sittin' here with you-you, the only mugwump in it' town that I ever used to be afraid of and you know I can say any blamed thing I please to you, and you got to take it and say nothin'. Do you know that I'm one of the few that believe the truth about that bribe?" Murgatroyd smiled. "We're both in the same boat, eh?" "Not a bit of it!" returned Broderick. "I'm in a coal barge. You're in a motorboat. Why there's many a man been in honest politics all his life, like me who's never pulled out three-quarters of a million." Not much: And out of one deal too! Why. look at me" he went on gibbly. "I've been in a lot of deals, but that gets me Three-quarters of a million on just one deal! Do you know the most I ever made out of any one deal?" Murgatroyd inquired in an offhand manner "How much?" Broderick shook his finger at him. "Foxy boy! Think I'd give up so easy! This particular deal I'm tellin' you about is back outside the statute of limitations. You couldn't get me on it. It was the Terwilliger tract. I was chairman of the common council finance committee, you remember Bought the tract for twenty five hundred and sold it to the city for two hundred and eighty thousand. That's me" "Good work!" said Murgatroyd, with genuine admiration. "I didn't know you were in on that" "In on it!" snorted Broderick. "I was the whole show! That's where I'm coy my boy. Takes a big man to find Broderick out." Broderick shook his head "They found me out all right," he said Broderick waved his hand, answering "Not a bit of it" It's all blown over, and if it hasn't it will. All they'll remember after awhile is that you've got a wad of money They'll forget how you got it "You're a giant he went on, "an intellectual giant to bag six figures" Murgatroyd lazily closed his eyes and murmured "Tell me about the new hospital-- that little concrete job" Broderick leaned forward, his face growing crimson. "What are you gettin' at?" Murgatroyd opened a drawer and took out a bulky batch of papers. "Broderick' he said severely, 'do you know that I ve got you implicated in more than thirty different violations of the law right here in town?" Broderick held out his hand and asked, with a show of interest. "What are they anyway?" "See for yourself," returned Murgatroyd, "handing the papers to the chairman" Broderick smiled confusedly. "Do you know it would be blamed uncomfortable for me if I were dealing with any other prosecutor than you?" The prosecutor smiled again. "How do you know it won't be uncomfortable for you as it is?" Broderick burst into a laugh. "You an' me is two of a kind-grafters together, tarred with the same stick. That's why." Murgatroyd nodded and took back the list. "That's all right, Broderick," he as-sented. "I've got a little job for you to do." "Out with it!" said Broderick. Murgatroyd moved forward. "In there more comin'?" questioned frederick, with a bow. "You know the valiant worker's of my heart isn't overstrong. You're crazy, man!" he added. "The whole organization is against you." : "The whole organization," repeated Murgatroyd, "except you." "You blamed idiot!" roared Broderick. "The organization's against you because I am." Murgatroyd continued: "I prefere to see a man do with a good, grape that which he has to do." "And who has got to do?" queried Broderick, raling. "You're got to put me in the snesta." "It'll spend my last dollar to keep you eat of it."

THE SURRENDER OF VIRGINIA. 8y CLARISSA MACKIE. [Copyright, 1910, by American Press Association.] VIRGINIA ROSWELL surveyed the garments laid upon her pretty bed with manifest approval in her brown eyes. There were a quilted satin petticoat of white, a paupered overdress of blue brocade with lace trimmed half sleeves, a pair of high heeled red slippers and a small red fan. "I wonder if that dreadful Howard man will be there," she mused, with dancing eyes, as she brushed her golden brown locks into a lofty pile on her stately little head. "I hope not, for I could not recognize him in masque and I might dance with him. That would be horrible." Miss Roswell shuddered at this awful possibility. When the civil war had drawn all southerners together to fight for a common cause the Roswell-Howard feud grew less fierce. Since the war the depleted families had died out, and now in the year of our Lord 1000 there remained but one, representative of each family to perpetuate the feud. High spirited Virginia Roswell bugged the traditions of her family with INTO! THN BRIER HEDGE. loyal affection. Twice had she been introduced to the hated Howard and twice had she afterward cut him dead on the highway. She remembered the look of mingled anger and admiration on his face when she had last met him, and she remembered with a sense of discontinuity the sweeping courtesy of his manner as he backed his horse into the brief hedge to permit her to pass. How Virginia hated the enemy of the house of Roswell. Cousin Emmofue Vernet, with whom Virginia lived, was not a Roswell and had not that bitterness toward the Howard faction if Mrs. Vernet had been permitted to have her way young Howard would have met a warm welcome within her hospitable doors when he returned from his long sojourn at a northern university It was the 22d of February, and it was the occasion of the masked ball at the Oaks, where all the guests were to appear in colonial garb and for which Virginia Rowell was now preparing. She powdered her hair and pinned a red rose in the snowy pile. She donned the white satin petcock and pale blue overdress. She tied a black velvet ribbon about her pretty throat, and the pearl pendant nestled in the sweet hollow just below. When she had drawn on a pair of long gloves she caught up her fan and took a few steps of the stately minnet "There was a tap at the door, and a young miluato girl entered 'Fo'丹 fan,' Miss Olivia, I didn't 'low you'd be dressed so soon. I comeed jes'"—"Never mind, Hannah," returned Miss Reswell amabilly. "I got along very nicely indeed. Is Mrs. Vernet ready?" "Yes, ma'am. Mrs' Emmeline she been down in do drawn' room fo' do last' hour." "Bring my carriage shoes, then, Hannah, and my cloak." Five minutes later Mrs. Vornet, arrayed in a sumptuous gown of purple brocade and yellow lace, bid her magnificence beneath a long cloak and joined her niece in the wide ball. "Am I not gorgeous, Emmeline? crief Irid in gay, with a deep courtesy to the elder woman "You are very lovely, my dear," re "MAY I HAVE THE PLEASURES" plied Mrs. Vernot affectionately. "I reckon you'll dance yourself to death as usual, before morning." At the Oaks the long drawing rooms wrote a mass of brilliant color, the man arranged in the huff, and blue, of the colored walls in the room. Women in every reviving conceit of color that taste could contrive. One and all were masked, and as Virginia Roswell entered the brilliantly lighted room in the wake of her cousin her eager eyes count for similar faces or forms. "May I have the pleasure?" The speaker was dressed in the uniform of a general in the Continental army. His powdered wig was tied back with a black ribbon, and through the black mask that bid his features black eyes flashed inquiringly. His skin was bronzed from exposure, and the fina, well muscled hand he extended was brown and capable. For once Virginia was voleless. She extended her card, and the stranger deliberately filled in all the vacant spaces. Then he returned it with a low bow and a murmured word of thanks and disappeared. "How impertinent!" muttered Miss Roswell as she scanned the card indignantly. She waltzed and rested and waltzed again several times before the stranger came to claim her. The waltzes that the harp and violins were throbbling was an old, old one, a familiar melody that the dancers caught up and hummed in tuneful unison as they danced, and Virginia in the very cottage of her happiness and glow of youth forgot all about the impertinence of the stranger and sang in a low, rich contrasto as they glided around. "You are very happy," remarked the man suddenly, with a wistful emphasis to his tone. The song stopped on Virginia's lips. "Why should I not be?" she asked, looking at him out of eyes suddenly grave. "There is no reason that I know of," returned the stranger slowly. When one possesses youth, beauty, a clear conscience, I presume you have a clear conscience, Miss Roswell"— "You know who I am?" cried Virginia eagerly. "It is only fair that I should know your name." "You might not dance with me if you knew," returned the man lightly. "Perhaps I will not unless you tell me!" cruel Virginia, pausing breathlessly and facing her partner. "And so you want to know who I am? It is only fair that you should know," he said with sudden resolution "I am". "Don't please," exclaimed Miss Roswell hastily. "I don't wish to know. We will unmask at midnight, and that will be time enough to unvell all mysteries" "As you please," he returned in a relieved tone "I believe the walls is over. Let us go into the conservatory" She went submissively. There was something in the air and manner of the man that attracted Virginia Roswell. He had a manner of authority that compelled her, who had never submitted to authority, to follow his lead meekly, yet rebelliously. He found her a seat beneath a cunningly contrived arbor of jasmine and climbing roses. The distant music of the orchestra seemed to stir the quiet leaves. They were quite alone. The dancers had trooped to the supper room. "Let me get you something to cat," he said when she was sent, and, in "LET US DURY THE HATCHET." spite of her protest, he went. He returned with a small tray, which he had supplied with several daffies. "Here are favors," he said, lifting two tiny silver batchets from the tray, "commemorative of the Immortal Washington." "Dear dear George"...gushed Virginia enthusiastically. "What would we do without his memory to celebrate each year?" I owe many a delightful dance to George Washington," she added, with assumed flippancy. "The woman of it!" murmured the man ironically. Virginia did not reply. She was looking at his well shaped head bent forward on his band and thinking that she liked the way his straight, dark hair was cropped. "My name is George," he murmured irreverently, gazing intently at a beautiful oleander, which he was likening to the color of Virginia's lips. "Well"... Virginia blushed rostly. What was it she had said? "Dear, dear George"... Ugh! This man was detestable. "Most people like my name." pursued the man pleasantly. "I don't" exclaimed Virginia neatly. "I know you don't" he retorted. "Do you believe in feuds?" "Why, yes, of course I do!" returned Virginia. "Don't you?" "Why, no, he," with a slow emphasis which she found was one of his pleasant characteristics. She liked to hear him talk. She liked the low, modulated tones of his voice and his familiar southern accent "Why, no," he repeated "I can't say that I do. They're harmless, don't you know." "I don't know!" retorted Virginia hotly. "How many Roswells are there left?" he drew irrorality. "One," replied Virginia lamely. "And that one is"— He paused. "That is myself!" returned Virginia proudly, littering her chin with a sudden movement that shook in sparkling mint of diamond dust about them. The man gazed intently at the small black patch placed provokingly near the dimpled white chin. "And how many Howards are there left?" he asked providently. "GOD!" "Ah, he you, Virginia Roswell, are THE RICHMOND PLANET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. still wagging the feud with the list of the Howards." Virginia caught her breath. She could not make this man understand. "And does this man Howard show a disposition to forget the—seefund?" inquired the stranger, looking at her intently. Virginia blushed again. She tried to be indignant and felt a strange helplessness. She found herself stammering meekly in reply, "I believe he doc." "And you will have none of it. You will carry it out to the bitter end until you both are old, and after you are gone there will be no more to carry on the old sight, and there will peace, but only after many years and much suffering and"— "Don't, please." Virginia put one hand to her throat and rose to her feet. "Please do not say any more. Will you take me back to Mrs. Vernet?" He rose slowly. "In a moment, Miss Roewell. First I would like to ask a favor of you." "What is it?" asked nervously. He stepped to the huge tub which contained the oleander tree. He held out one hand "in its palm lay the two silver hatchets. "Let us bury the hatchet," he said slowly, removing his mask and revealing himself. Without a word she drew near to him and stood beside him while he dug a small hole in the soft earth. Tenderly he placed the little hatchets therein, and Virginia put in a sprig of jasmine. Then he covered them and extended big, hard Virginia paced hers in it.

M. 1830 WASHINGTON BY OUR STANDARDS by James A. Edgerton [Copyright, 1910, by American Press Assoc. citation] Of WASHINGTON, a name you may recall, Whose owner was the father of us all. Had such a wealth of titles unto fame I have not time to catalogue the same. But looked at this distance, it would see The chief of all his claims to our esteem Lies in the marked and gratifying way He differed from some statesmen of today. As an example, history records That he refused all offers of rewards For his long years of toil and sacrifice, But gave them without money, without price. In these our times the process is reversed— Where he placed services of his country first And took no wage, our patrons today Omit the service and accept the pay. Washington The difference appeals in other things: He freed the country from the rule of kings. While we have those, or so I have been told, Who foster trust kings wore than those of old. He drove the mercenaries from our shores. The hired armies feeding on our stores We have a loe more beree and ravenous— The army of the grafters feeds on us Great Washington who lacked the gift of speech, In deeds, not words, his lessons sought to teach. But we, with floods of talk that know no bound, Drown our performance in a sea of sound His wisdom lay in knowing his detect. Which grows a virtue seen in retrospect. Our statement, who can speak no more than be, Are not restrained by his humility He spurned a crown. We make of wealth a king And crown not man, but an amuse thing. He sought retirement when his work was through. Bot certain stature of the modern crew Who heard their own and not their country's call. Have not the mercy to retinue at all. He farmed his farm like Cincinnatus old; They farm the people and the crop is gold. They call him first in peace and first in war And first in the esteem his country bore. We have some statement first, I understand. In making peace with those who rott the land. First in the gains of buying war supplies. First in the hearts of those who victimize Their countryry and first to speculate On made news that they themselves create. We need such contrasts to appreciate How proud, lofty and nobly great Was this unselfish statesman, Washington. He grows in stature by comparison When measured by the standards we maintain He seems a beng of another plane He served maked, and so it is, I say The nation needs some Washington today Facts About Washington. George Washington never was much of a speechesaker. Thomas Jefferson, who served with him to the Virginia house of burgesses stated that he never heard Washington speak for more than ten minutes at a time. Washington had a high temper but he usually kept it under excellent control. Several notable occurrences are on record, however when he became "raging mind." Washington served on a grand jury after his retirement from the presidency. Before he became president he had been a petit juror several times. Cornwallis' Surrender Many thousands of Virginia citizens were gathered to watch the scene, all eager to get a glimpse of Lord Cornwallis. But they were disappointed in that Cornwallis pleaded indisposition and stayed in his quarters. He sent his sword by one of his officers, General O'Hara, to be delivered to Washington General O'Harg offered the sword to Washington, who directed him to General Lincoln, the officer whom Washington had appointed to conduct the surrender. Lincoln took the sword from O'Hara's hand and then politely handed it back, to be returned to Cornwallis. | 1910 | FEBRUARY | | | | 1910 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Mon. | Mon. | Tue. | Wed. | Thu. | Frt. | Sat. | | .. | .. | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 | | 27 | 28 | .. | .. | .. | .. | .. | | .. | .. | .. | .. | .. | .. | .. | WASHINGTON'S PHYSICAL ILLS. By JOHN E. WALLACE WILLI. Washington was president he was dangerously ill several times. In 1789 he had what in our day we would call the grip. During a ceremonial visit to Cambridge, Mass., the president came down with this alliment, which came to be called "the Washington influenza" in the vicinity of Boston, where it raged for some time Washington described this attack thus "Myself much disordered by a cold and inflammation in the left ear." In Now York some months later the president caught another bad cold which developed into "a case of an thrax so malignant as for several days to threaten mortification." His physician remained constantly with him. One day Washington looked the doctor squainly in the face and requested his opinion as to the outcome of the disease. The doctor expressed "both hope and fear, and Washington replied, "Whether tonight or twenty years hence, it makes no difference." One who visited the president at this time relates that his life was despatched of and every eye was full of tears. One feature of this attack was a very large and painful tumor on the protuberance of the president's thigh. It was necessary to operate upon this tumor, which had a happy effect in relieving the fever, but left the patient weak. He could not walk or sit up so in order to obtain needed outdoor exercise he had his coach so extended that he could recline his full length of six feet three and a half inches thereto. An operation for cancer was performed on Washington in 1704. His mother also had suffered from a disorder. During the same year the president's back was severely wrenched in an effort to save himself and horse from falling among the rocks at the lower falls of the Potomac, near his Mount Vernon home. He was confined to his bed for some time on account of this injury. After Washington retired from public life he suffered from a fever which reduced his weight by twenty pounds. He had frequent colds, and it was only with the greatest difficulty that he could be induced to take medicine. Washington's sight became impaired during the Revolution. He found it necessary to begin wearing spectacles in 1778, at the age of forty-six years. Dulging his presidency he became hard of hearing. A guest at one of the president's dinners relates that he was so deaf that I believe he heard little of the conversation." Present day dentistry would have saved Washington much suffering and would have enhanced his good looks AN EFFORT TO SAVE HIMSELF His teeth became defective early in life. From year to year he had one tooth after another drawn after undergroding severe toothaches. By year 1750 he began to wear false teeth poorly constructed, which gave him a mouth in curious malformation. Stuart in painting his famous portrait of Washington sought to overcome the appearance by placing an oval pad under the lips. The great Gauss to tooth disfigured in 1755. The next year the destruction of his mouth was removed by the substitution of a new set of teeth. In fact the new tooth now sets out to the general change. He was made a doctor from the tooth of the large pear. The growing up shows a certain able art of bodily admirability by the fortunes Washington including muscles fever and ague small pox, malaria grip tumor cancer and frequent "very bad odds," the last of which, singularly enough after all those earlier and more serious matices, resulted in the death of the patient. Washington's Size George Washington was big as well as great. One of the doctors who attended him in his last illness measured the body and found that the great minus exact height was six feet three and a half inches. A man who saw him during his service as president wrote that Washington looked to be at least six and a half feet tall Washington a tallness, however, was not accentuated by sparcness, as in the case of Abraham Lincoln, who was half an inch taller. The average man wears shoes of No. 7 or No. 8 size. Washington's enormous boots were No. 11. According to a memorialum written in 1811 by David Akeson, who saw the genial several times, his hands were correspondually larger than his feet. The Wings of Time "Mamma," said little Tummy as he closed the big book "what are the 'wings of time?'" "The wings of time: my son," replied his mother in loud tones, "are the faded wings I have been wooing on my hat for three seasons." And then pa colghed uneasily and told Tommy if he did not stop asking foolish questions he would send him to bed CONDENSED NEWS ITEMS. Thursday, February 10.
