NET. Thru the marty leagues of distance For beyond the present's sight, Sailed I, in my bark of fancy, On the sea of years one night. And I saw a nect a sailing From a far off unknown clime, Up the sunny Bay of Promise, To ard the busy wharf of time. 'Twas the nect of Ethiopia, And I know her ships by name: Glory, Honor, Right, and Justice, Staunch old ships of ancient fame. Are they coming? Yes; they're coming With their pennons floating wide, And at good speed they are moving, The being tossed by wind and tide. 'To' the white waves of oppression, 'Gainst their hulls are fiercely hurd'd, Soon they'll safely ride at anchor, In the harbor of the world. Oh. ye ships of Ethiopia, Quickly dash the waves apart, For a joyous watch I'm keeping, From the lookout of my heart! —ROBERT DANGERFIELD CRAWLEY. ANOTHER COCIT OF CALANTHE AT EMPIORA, VA. Emporin, Va., June 15.—Miss M. L. Chiles, G. W. C. arrived in the city on the evening train, to set up another Court of Calanthe in our city, to the credit of Mrs. Lucy A. Peters, the energetic Deputy of this district. The indies to be initiated were enthusiastic and had already assembled at Doyle Hall awaiting the arrival of G. W. C., Mr. John Mitchell, Jr., and were greatly disappointed because he was unavoidably detained by pressing business engagements, besides the duties of the near approach of the Grand Lodge of Virginia, at Portsmouth next week, so he deputized Miss Chiles to act for him. After her apology for him, the ladies were satisfied, and Miss Chiles, assisted by Dr. Sapp, Mrs. Peters, and other officers and members of Emporia Court, proceeded to carry the candidates through the "mysteries of Calantheism." All were delighted with the initiation, and as the "heavens opened and the rains descended," some were unable to be made, and a special meeting for that purpose will be held Saturday, so that a large number will be reported at the Grand Session by Mrs. Peters. The expressions of love and hearty co-operation made by Dr. J. L. Sapp, Mrs. L. Vanstory, Mrs. Helen Jackson, and others of Emporia Court, showed that success and a hustle for increase of membership will be the pleasant rivalry and ambition of both Courts, Mrs. A. Peters was highly complimented by them all, for her faithful services, as her home is Petersburg, Va. The new Court will be known as "Queen of Emporia," No. 186. The following are the officers: W. Ins., Mrs. Martha Jackson; W. C. Miss Annie Cain; Inx. Mrs. Stella Moore; W. O. Mrs. Jennie Rawlings; R. of D., Mrs. Helen Jackson; R. of A., Misa Louise Peebles; R. of Dep., Mrs. Bertha Ferguson; S. D., Miss Anna Adams; J. D., Mrs. Fannie Stallings; Con. Mrs. Hattie Simpson; Asst. Con., Mrs. Mary Evans; Escort, Mrs. Sarah Fleetwood; Herald, Mrs. Ella Thomas; Pro. Mrs. Catherine Peebles. Trustees—Mrs. Lizzie Adams, 18 months; Mrs. Hattie Simpson, 13 months; Mrs. Martha Lundy 6 months. This Court will meet second and fourth Tuccedays, at 5 P. M., at Doyles Hall.

His charitable remarks concerning the colored people were applauded. He gave sound advice to all the colored people. In his remarks, he de laired that the colored people in their conduct were no worse than the white people. He declared that he did not welcome the body to the police court over which he presided, as people of their type were not the ones who patronized his court. DR WHITE'S RESPONSE REV. ADAMS TALKS. TOG Rev. Dr. White was applauded. Grand Chancellor Mitchell introduced Rev. R. G. Adams, to respond to Justice Thomas. He did so in an admirable manner. He aroused the audience to a high pitch of enthusiasm. His Honor, the Mayor, and Justice Thomas, having remained over an hour, retired while the audience arose and extended to them the Chautauqua salute. The scene was inspiring and impressive. The address on behalf of the citizens was delivered by Rev. C. C. Bomerville, D. D. It was an able presentation of the subject. RICHMOND, VIRGINIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1916 The address on the part of the Sir Knights, was delivered by Mr. W. H. Jennings. Mrs. Camella Riddick delivered the welcome address on the part of the courts. Rev. T. H. White delivered the benediction, and all passed out, delighted with the exercises. FINE DELEGATION. The delegation is one of the best ever seen in this section. The Uniform Rank from Newport News, Va., came over yesterday with the Richmond delegation, and others from Roanoke, Lynchburg and Bristol will come in tomorrow. The weather is ideal for the occasion. The Uniform Rank paraded this afternoon, but the grand parade will take place tomorrow. The indications are that it will be the best ever seen in this section. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS IN IN SESSION AT PORTSMOUTH The Richmond delegation to the Grand Lodge, Knights of Lythns of Virginia, left via C. and O, route for Portsmouth, Va., last Monday at 4 P.M. Two large conches were not sufficient to accommodate those who took the trip, Eureka Company, No. 1; Planet Company, No. S, and the Pythian Cadets were in the party, Grand Cancellor John Mitchell, Jr., was also in the party. The Danville delegation joined the Richmond delegation, as did the delegation from Clifton Forge, Staunton and Charlottesville. The party was joined at Newport News by the Uniform Rank, which also was to go into camp at Mt. Hermans. The tents had not been pitched and the party slept in the hall Monday night. A large delegation is in attendance, and the indications are that the session will be a success from every point of view. --- OVER ONE HUNDRED WHITES HONOR EXSLAVE [N. Y. World.] Birmingham, Ala., June 17.—An impressive illustration of affection felt for the faithful "war-time" Negro by the whites of this part of the South occurred near Demopolis, in the heart of the "Black Belt" of Alabama, recently when the body of Ben Coleman, an old Negro bodyguard of members of the Coleman family, was tenderly borne to the grave by six prominent, white citizens, all sons of Confederate veterans, and laid to rest in the Coleman family cemetery in a grave piled high with choicest floral tributes. More than 100 prominent white men and women attended the burial. Many of them wept over the old Negro casket, and the highest tributes of affection were paid the memory of the ex-slave. Ben lived on the Coleman place before the war between the States. When the conflict opened he entered the Confederate service as bodyguard to Capt. Cruse Coleman. For four years he was faithful to his master, and several times served in the ranks. When Capt. Coleman was desperately wounded the Negro slave carried him on his back from the battlefield to a place of safety and nursed him back to life. When the war was over Ben returned to the old plantation and declared he didn't want any freedom. He was given land to work and was provided for when there was a crop failure. To Ben was given the honor in the stirring days following the war that no other Negro in the South employed. It was a knowledge of the workings of the Ku-Klux-Klans. It first came about through accidental knowledge the Negro had acquired, and afterward from the necessity to trust some Negro with certain information. GUEST OF HOTEL DALE. The Commencement Exercises of the Armstrong High School took place Friday night, 16th inst., at the City Auditorium, at 8:15 o'clock. Despite the unfavorable weather, the spacious edifice was filled, even the hallway having its quota of humanity. The stage was one of surpassing love lines. The electric lights cast a veritable halo over the pupils, howeve all seated upon this spacious rostrum, facing the audience. ANXIOUS PARENTS It was evident that anxious parents had expended large sums of money in making the display, for even the students were as tastily and attractively attired as the graduates. In front, was a veritable fringe of flowers in baskets and in bouquets, all adding to the transcendent beauty of the scene. Mr. S. D. Turner, the white principal, was evidently pleased. THE MUSICAL DIRECTOR Mr. Walter C. Mercer, the accomplished director of music, displayed only satisfaction upon his beaming countenance. He had trained the pupils "up to the minute," and a wave of his baton brought forth entrancing melody, which reverberated from the calling above. The play of the elements on the outside, the thunder of the heavenly artillery which resounded again and again, did not disturb either the singers or the speakers. Mr. Leslie F. Watson, the accomplished pianist, presided during these exercises to the infinite satisfaction of Mr. Mercer and his charges. The program was as follows: 1. Song—"Sing to the Lord"—(Haydn) The School. 2. Paper—"Preseverance." Bertha Lockett. 3. Song—"The Miller's Wooling" (Fannin) The School. 4. Paper—"Preparedness." M. Rebekah Goode. 5. Class Song—"Come Where the Lilies Bloom" (Thompson) The Normal Class. 6. Address. Dr Douglas S. Freeman. 7. Song—"As Pants the Wearred Hart" (Pinsault) The School. S. Delivery of Diplomas. Ferdinand C. Ebol. Chairman City School Board. 9. Song—"The Clang of the Forge" (Bodney) The School. DR. FREEMAN'S GREAT EFFORT. The address of Dr. Douglas S. Freeman was easily the event of the evening. His magnificent oratorical powers and profound knowledge illuminated the structure, so to speak, and pleased even those of the audience who were unable to follow him in all that he was who enough to say. CHAIRMAN EBEL'S HAPPY STYLES Mr. Ferdinand C. Ebel, the chairman of the City School Board, won the audience when he declared that the colored teachers, who had succeeded the white ones, had made good The City School Board had purchased the large lot on the south side of Leigh Street, between Adams and Prentis streets, and he asserted that the Finance Committee would recommend an appropriation of one hundred thousand dollars for the erection of a new building thereon. This declaration was greeted with prolonged applause. THE DIPLOMAS DELIVERED. Mr. Ebel then presented the diploma to the following graduates: GRADUATES—ACADEMIC COURSE January, 1916—Julla Mozelle Bolling, J. B. Nierasa, Carter, Daitie Belle Greene, Norma Madeline Taylor.

GRADUATES—SEWING COURSE June, 1916—Berthea Henderson, Arnita Elizabeth James, Nigelie Washington Jones, Emerald Scott, Lurinda Viola Trent, Virginia Etta Hazel Williams. PRINCIPAL TURNER'S STATEMENT. Mr. S. D. Turner stated that it disarrange5, a school to change just one teacher. He had his doubts and fears when it came to changing all of the teachers. There had been a rather stormy time at first, but by January, the change had so adjusted itself as to permit all plans to work smoothly. The colored teachers had made good. THE CLOSING SONG The closing song was rendered, and the audience passed out, while the graduates reached for the flowers which admiring friends had showered upon them. The exercises were the best since the name of the school was changed from 'the Richmond High and Normal School to that of Armstrong High School. It was just 10:15 P.M., and the rush on the outside for the street cars carriages and automobiles told by the orderly manner and subdued conversation that the evening's entertainment had been a great success. Miss Julia Bolling, daughter of Denon John A. Bolling, was one of the February graduates of the Armstrong High School. Miss George R. Gaskling, daughter of Mr. George A. Gaskling, was one of the June graduates of Armstrong High School. THE CHISANA-WHITE RIVER DISTRICT, ALASKA. The discovery of gold in stream gravels on several of the headwater tributaries of Chisana River, Alaska, led to a stampede of prospectors into this district in 1913 that recalled to old-timers the early days of placer mining in the territory. This district is described by Stephen R. Cappa in U. S. Geological Survey Bulletin 630. Upper White River valley was first brought to the attention of mining people by the discovery of native copper on Kletsen Creek, and it was not until gold was found on Bonanza Creek, in 1913, that the district began to be thought of as a source of gold rather than copper, though gold quartz veins had been staked in this very locality at least six years before 1913. When, late in summer, the men who found the gold on Bonanza Creek returned to Dawson for supplies their discovery leaked out, and several thousand gold seekers rushed into the country, many of them without equipment or provisions and unaccustomed to the rigors of an Alaska winter. The small supplies of food then in the region were soon exhausted, prices rose to prohibitive figures, and sufficient provisions were not available even for those who could afford to buy them. Fortunately, the district was well supplied with game, so that for weeks many lived on a diet of rabbits and pearlmigan. In 1914 most of those who had been disappointed in staking valuable claims or disgusted with their experiences left the district, and the real business of mining began. The rocks of the Chisima-White district are of many types. The high mountains of the Wrangell and St. Elías ranges, on the west and south, are composed dominantly of igneous rocks, but the Nutsotin Range, in which the gold-bearing gravels were found, is composed primarily of sedimentary beds, which are cut by dikes and intruded by large masses of crystal-line igneous rocks, and contain also some surface lava flows. The whole area is strongly glaciated. During the last retreat of the glaciers the melting ice left morainal material throughout the district. Large deposits of ontwash gravels were laid down and are still accumulating in the valleys of the glacier-fed streams. Talus, peat, muck, and some volcanic ash, as well as normal stream deposits, make up the postglacial materials in the areas that are not now receiving glacial and glacio-fuvial deposits. The productive gold placer gravels of the Chinna district are found within a small area, nearly all the gravels that have been profitably mined lying within a circle 5 miles in diameter. Bonanza, Little Eldorado, and Skookum creeks have produced most of the gold mined. The short mining season, comprising only 80 to 160 days, and the symptoms of the district from lines of transportation combine to make mining expensive. Gold has been mined actively, however, and the total production of the district up to and including the year 1914, was probably not far short of 800,000. ASSASSINS KILL JUDGE Huntsville, Ala., June 17—Two companies of State militia, one from Florence and one from Decatur, arrived here tonight to aid the sheriff if necessary in protecting several persons arrested late today in connection with the death of Judge W. T. Lawler, of the probate court, whose body was found near here today. Judge Lawler, who had just been renominated to office after a bitter political fight, was last seen on Wednesday night last. News of the trailing of his body today caused a crowd estimated at 1,000 to gather around the courthouse square, and, while the crowd had dispersed to a great extent tonight, excitement still was described as tense. The troops, it was said, would be under direction of the sheriff and would be posted at the jail and at various points in the town. PRISONERS ARE SPIRITED AWAY. Three or four men arrested late to day were said to have been taken to nearby town as a matter of precaution, and at the sheriff's office their names were refused, but they were described as "prominent in Madison county politics." At the jail here three men were held tonight as "witnesses." One of them was said to be Jack Gaforth, a chauffeur, whom county authorities claim drove an automobile in which Judge Lawler was taken Wednesday night from the courthouse to the place where his body was found today. Names of the others held here were not given out tonight. It also was said several other arrests might follow. Judge Lawler, according to county officials, had an engagement Wednesday night to meet a political opponent at the courthouse. Search was begun today on the theory that the probate judge had been kidnapped. His body was found in 15 foot of water, weighted down with iron. There were two bullet wounds in the heart and the skull had been crushed. NEW GRAND JURY TO ACT Investigation by a coroner's jury was begun tonight, and it was an announced that Monday a new grand jury would be empanelled to investigate the affair. Attorney General W. L. Martin, of Montgomery, was said to be coming here to conduct the investigation, which had been started by D. C. Almon, circuit solicitor. It was said the investigation would include charges of election fraud made after the recent primary, in which Judge Lawler, among others, took part. One grand jury already has been dismissed without completing an investigation, and the past week the foreman of another sought in open court to be relieved of the investigation. Much of the fractional feeling in the primary was over the prohibition question. Judge Lawler being a prohibitionist Editor Smith Not Satisfied (Cleveland, O. Gazette) The editor of the N. Y. Aga's intentions are good but Major Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee (Ala.) N. & I. Institute, is able to make denial for himself and will have to do so if the wishes people to believe that he did not say what he is quoted by the daily press of the country as saying anent the outrageous mistreatment of his wife and other relatives in that Pullman sleeping car recently. Y. W. C. A. Rev. W. B. Ball spoke to a good audience at Vosperus on Sunday. Rev. Ball's subject was "Woman, a Helpmeet," and he was both pleasing and instructive. The largest attendance of the month greeted Miss Smith on Tuesday, evening and listened attentively to a forceful address on Association Finance. The fifth and last lecture in the series will be given next Tuesday evening at seven-thirty o'clock. At this time, Miss Smith will conclude her lecture on finance and will speak also on "Leadership." We feel justified in our change of hour for the Bible study. Our attendance is better and many have enrolled for coming weeks. The tennis court is in the hands of workmen, who will turn it over to us quite ready for use in a few days. Miss Sadie I. Daniel, newly appointed chairman of the Committee on Girls' Work, held her first meeting last week. She and her committee are the very best women for this work, as subsequent announcements will show. Twelve new members are reported by the Membership Committee. This makes a total of forty-seven for two months. This committee is very well HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY JUN 813 1916 CAMBRIDGE, MASS.

ONE evening as Captain Johnny Brennan stood on the dock reperintending the final loading of a cargo for the S. H. and N. he was accosted by a tall meryous man with shifting eyes and twitching lips. It was hard to recognize in this piltable shipman creature the once resplendent Gordon, who had bent the whole northland to his end. Some tantalizing demon inside the man's frame were jerking at his snawn. Fear was in his roaring glance. He stammered. He plucked at the little captain's sleeve like a frightened woman. The open hearted Irishman was touched. "Toe," said Johnny after listening for a time, "I'll take you with me, and they won't catch you either." Gordon chattered: "I'll pay you well, handsomely. I am a rich man. I have interests that demand attention, so accept this money. Please! Keep it all, my good fellow." Brennan starred at the bundle Gordon had thrust into his hand, then regarded the speaker curiously. "Man, dear," he said, "this isn't money. These are stock certificates." "Eh? Stock? Well, there's money in stocks, big money, if you know how to handle them." The promoter wandering eye shifted to the line of stewardess trundling their trucks into the hold, then up to the crane with its straining burden of bridge material. Every package was stenciled with his rival's name, but he exclaimed: "Bravo, captain! We'll be up to the summit by Christmas. No graft! No incompetence! The utmost publicity in corporate affairs—that's our platform. We're destined for a glorious success. Glorious success." "Go aboard and lie down," Brennan said gently. "You need a good sleep." Then, calling a steward, he ordered. "Show Mr. Gordon to my cabin and give him what he wants." He watched the tail figure stumble up the gangplank and shook his head. "The utmost publicity," is it? Well, it you're that it's getting it now. And to think that you're the man with the mines and the railroads and the widow! I'm afraid you'll be in fronds when she sees you. But that's as good a finish as you deserve, after all." The building of the Salmon river bridge will not soon be forgotten by engineers and men of science. Nowhere else in the history of bridge building had such conditions been countered; nowhere on earth had work of this character been attended with greater hazards; never had circumstances created a situation of more dramatic interest. By many the whole venture was regarded as a rockless gamble; for more than a million dollars had been risked on the chance not alone that Q'Nell could build supports which the soe could not demolish, but that he could build them under the most serious difficulties in record breaking time. Far more than the mere cost of the structure hinged upon his success; failure would mean that his whole investment up to that point would be wiped out, to say nothing of the $20,000,000 project of a trunk line up the valley of the Salmon. Had the government permitted the Kyrak coal fields to be opened up the lower reaches of the S. R. and N. would have had a value, but all activity in that region had been throttled, and the policy of delay and indecision at headquarters promised no relief. The actual erection of steel work was impossible during the coldest month; Parker had planned only to rush the gears, abutments and false work to completion so that he could take advantage of the mild spring weather preceding the breakup. The execution of this plan was to itself an unparalleled undertaking, making it necessary to hire double crews, of picked men. Yet as the weeks wore into months the intricate details were wrought out one by one and preparations were completed for the great race. Late in March Dan Appleton went to the front, taking with him his wife and his sister, for whom O'Neil had thoughtfully prepared suitable living quarters. The girls were as hungry as Dan to have a part in the deciding struggle, or at least to see it close at hand, for the spirit of those engaged in the work had entered them also. Life at Omar of hate had been rather uneventful, and they looked forward with pleasure to a renewal of those displeasurable relations which had made the summer months so full of distress and delight. But they were disappointed. Life at the end of the line they found to be a very grim, a very content, and in some respects an extremely displeasurable after the forgiving, unceasing activity of their friend, who was treating them with respect and kindness. More and more they came to find the power of the love of women and the whole story of women and the passing of respectability that they from the dominator. The power of a commoner to give the power of love and power to new men. He was a man of great strength and the power of his persuasion. But his power was not so great as that of his friend. He was all their favorite companion during their marriage. presence. But behind his smile they saw the lurking worries; in his eyes was an abstraction they could not penetrate, in his bearing the fatigue of a man tried to the breaking point. To Eliza there was a certain joy merely in being near the man she loved, even though she could not help being hurt by his apparent indifference. The long weeks without sight of him had deepened her feeling and she had turned for relief to the writing of her book—the natural outlet for her repressed emotions. Into its pages she had poured all her passion, all her pearling, and she had written with an intimate understanding of O'Neil's ambitions and alone which later gave the story its unique success as an epic of financial romance. Hers was a nature which could not be content with Mienes. She took up the work that she and Natalie had begun, devoting herself unobtrusively yet effectively to making O'Nell comfortable. It was a labor of love, done with no expectation of reward; it thrilled her, filling her with mingled sadness and satisfaction. But If Murray noticed the improvement in his surroundings, which she sometimes doubted, he evidently attributed it to a sudden access of zeal on the part of, Ben, for he made no comment. Whether or not she wished him to see and understand she could hardly tell. Somehow his unobservant, masculine acceptance of things better and worse appealed to the woman in her. She slipped into O'Nell's quarters during his absence and slipped out again quietly. She learned to know his ways, his peculiarities. She found herself crotching and talking to his personal belongings as if they could hear and understand. She conducted long conversations with the objects on his bureau. One morning Ben entered unexpectedly to surprise her in the act of kissing Murray's shaving mirror as if it still preserved the image of his owner's face, after which she banished the cook boy utterly and performed his duties with her own hands. Of course discovery was inevitable. At last O'Neill stumbled in upon her in the midst of her task and, questioning her, read the truth from her blushes and her incoherent attempts at explanation. "So you're the one who has been doing this" he exclaimed in frank astonishment. "And I've been tipping Benny for his thoughtfulness all this time! The musel has made enough to retro rich." "He seemed not to understand his duties very well, so I took charge. But you had no business to catch me! The flush died from Eliza's cheeks, and she faced him with thoroughly feminine indignation. "I can't let you go on with this," said Murray. "I ought to be doing something for you." But the girl fared up defiantly. "I love it. I'll do it no matter if you look BARRIE O'Neill Stumbled In Upon Her In the Midst of Her Task. me out. I'm not on the payroll, you know, so you have no authority over me—some as all! He even raved around the room, and for the first time he fully took in the message he heard and wrought. "My children are very also in a position this way and have everything neat and clean but—it everywhere you do unpleasant to have you maddled with the snail work—" "It isn't maddled, and—what brought you here at this hour, anyhow?" she demanded. O'Neill could give place to an anxious story. "Who he is rising, and—" "Stinking." "How. Our old enemy Stinking again." is coming us trouble again. That jem of broken ice in front of it is backing us the water—there's more running now, and the ice is lifting. It's lifting the false work with it, pulling the plies out of the river bottom like splinters out of a sore hand." remember that pooled forth at him then stumbled on land. He saw that the hair was growing grayer, that the face was very plain, and—yes, unquestionably it was no longer youthful. Of course he didn't feel old, but the evidence that he was so admitted of no "Impossible." "That's pretty bad, isn't it?" "It certainly is. It threatens to throw everything out of alignment and prevent us from laying the steel if we don't check it." "Check it!" cried Eliza. "How can you check a thing like that?" "Easily enough. If we can spare the hands, by cutting away the ice where it is frozen to the piles, so that it won't lift them with it. The trouble is to get men enough. You see, the ice is nine feet thick now. I've set every man to work with axes and chisels and steam- points, and I came up to telephone Slater for more help. We'll have to work fast night and day." "There's nobody left in Omar." Eliza said quickly. "I know. Tom's going to gather all he can at Cortes and Hope and rush them out here. Our task is to keep the ice out away until help arrives." "I suppose it's too late in the season to repair any serious damage." "Exactly. If you care to go back with me you can see what we're doing." As they set out for the bridge site Murray looked down at Eliza, staring manlike before him, with something of affectionate appreciation in his eyes, and said humily: "It was careless of me not knowing what you have been doing for all this time. My only excuse is that we been driven half and half with these things. I haven't time to think about myself." "All housekeepers pay a thankless task." laughed Eliza. All that day Elm escaped the unequal struggle, and in the evening Dan brought her reports that were far from measuring. The rebellious movement showed no sign of ceasing. When she retired that night she sought case from her anxiety in a prayer that was half a petition for O'Neills success and half an exceedingly full and frank confession of her love for him. Outside, beneath the glaze of torches and hastily strung incandescent, a weary army toiled stubbornly, digging, gouging, chopping at the foot of the towering wall of timbers which stretched across the Salmon. In the north the aura borealis played brilliantly as it to light a council of the gods. CHAPTER XXII. N the following day Happy Tom arrived with fifty men. "I got the last mother's son I could find," he explained as she warmed himself at O'Neill's stove. "Did you go to Hope?" "I did, and I saw the splavvus himself." "Gordon?" "He's worse than we thought." Tom tapped his shining forehead significantly. "Loft to let." "What—insane?" "Nothing but echoes in his dome. The town's as empty as his bonnet, too, and the streets are full of snow. It's a night!" "Tell me about Mrs. Gordon." "She's quite a person," said Slater slowly. "She's surprised me. She's there alone with him and a watchman. She does all the work, even to lugging in the wood and coal—he's too busy to help, but she won't leave him. She told me that Dan and Natalie wanted her to come over here, but she couldn't bring herself to do it or let them assist in any way. Gordon spends all his time at his desk, promoting, writing ads and prospectuses. He's got a grand scheme. He's found that 'Hope Consolidated' is full of rich ore, but the trouble is in getting it out, so he's working on a new process of extraction. It's a wonderful process—you'd never guess what it is. He smokes it out! He says all he needs is plenty of smoke. That bothered him until he hit on the idea of burning feathers. Now he's planning to raise ducks, because they've got so much down. Isn't that the limit? She'll have to fit him into a padded cell sooner or later." "Poor devil!" said O'Neil. "I'm sorry. He had an unusual mind." Blaster sniffed. "I think it's pretty soft for him myself. He's made better than a standoff—he lost his memory, but he saved his skin. It's funny how some men can't fall. If they slip on a banana peel somebody shows a cubbon under 'em before they light. I never got the best of anything. If I dropped asleep in church my wife would divorce me and I'd go to the electric chair. Gordon robs widows and orphans right and left, then ends up, with a loving woman to take care of him in his old age. Why. If I even robbed a blind puppy of a baucet I leave a thumb print on his ear or the dog's mother would turn out to be a bloodhound. Anyhow, I'd spend my declining years nestled up to a rock pile with a mallet in my mitt and a low brow gentleman scowling at me from the top of a wall. He'd lean on his shotgun and say: 'Hurry up, Fatty. It's getting late, and there's a ton of oakum to pick.' It just goes to show that some of us are born behind the game and never get even, while others, like Gordon, quit winner, no matter how much they lose." Having relieved himself of this fervid homily, Happy Tom umrolled a package of gum and thrust three sticks into his mouth. "Speaking of bad luck," he continued, "when are you going to get married, Murray?" O'Nell started. "Why—never. It isn't the kind of proposition as building a bridge, you know. There's a little matter of youth and good looks that counts considerably in the marriage business. No woman would have an old clap like me." Mother took a wonderful inventory of his child's pawn; then said doubtfully: "You might put it over, Murray. I also诚心 handcame myself, but I did." An O'Nell slipped into his fur coat, after the flat suit had described him, he caught sight of himself in the gown of his pawn and paused. He jumped forward and studied the campfire. commencement that pooled forth at him, then slammed the head. He now that the hair was growing grayer, that the face was very plain, and--you questionably it was no longer youthful. Of course he didn't feel old, but the evidence that he was so admitted of no disproof, and it was evidence of a sort which no woman could disregard. For a week the ice roars slowly, a foot a day, and in spite of the greatest watchfulness it took the false work with it here and there. But concentrated effort at the critical points saved the structure from serious injury. Then the jam in front of Jackson glacier went out, at least in part, and the ice began to fall. Down it settled, smoothly, swiftly, until it rested once more upon the shores. It was still as firm as in midwinter and showed no sign of breaking; nor had it moved downstream a hair's breadth. O'Neill gathered his forces for the final onslaught. On April 5 the last of the steel for span No. 1 reached the front, and erection was begun. The men fell to with a vim and an enthusiasm impossible to describe. With incredible rapidity the heavy sections were laid in place. The riveters began their metallic song. The towering three bent traveler ran smoothly on its track, and under it grew a webwork of metal, braced and re-enforced to withstand, in addition to ordinary strains, the pressure of a hundred mile an hour wind. To those who looked on the structure appeared to build itself, like some dream edifice. It seemed a miracle that human hands could work that stubborn metal so swiftly and with so little effort. But every piece had been cut and fitted carefully, then checked and placed where it was accessible. Now that winter had broken spring came with a rush. The snow began to shrink and the drifts to settle. The air grew balmier with every day; the drip from eaves was answered by the gurgling laughter of hidden waters. Here and there the bobstle mountain sides began to show, and the tops of elder thickets thrust themselves into sight. Where wood or metal caught the sun rays the snow retreated. Pools of ice water began to form at noon. The days were long, too, and no frozen winds charged out of the north. As the daylight lengthened so did the working hours of the tollers. On April 15 the span was completed. In thirteen days Mellen's crew had laid 400 feet of the heaviest steel ever used in a bridge of this type. But there was no halt. The material for the second section had been assembled meanwhile, and the traveler began to swing it into place. The dln was unceasing. The clash of riveters, the creek and battle of holstes, the shouts of men, mingled in a persistent, ear splitting clamor, and foot by foot the girls reached out toward the second monolith which rose from the river bed. The well adjusted human machine was running smoothly. Every man knew his place and the duties that went with it; the hands of each worker were capable and skilled. But now the billiards were growing bare, rills gashed the sliding snow fields, the upper gulls began to rumble to avalanches-for-runners of the process that would strip the earth of snow and ice and free the river in all its furry. In six days 300 feet more of steel had been bolted fast to the complete section, and span No. 2 was in place. But the surface of the Salmon was no longer white and pure; it was dirty and discolored now, for the debris which had collected during the past winter was exposing itself. The ice covering was partially mounded also. Shallow ponds formed upon it and were rippled by the south breeze. Running waters on every side sang a menace to the workers. Then progress ceased abruptly. It became known that a part of the material for the third span had gone astray in its long journey across the continent. There had been a delay at the Pittsburgh mills, then a blockade in the Sierres; O'Nell was in Omar at the end of the cable straining every nerve to have the shipment rushed through Mellon brooded over his uncompleted work; Parker studied the dripping hills and measured the melting snows. He still smiled, but he showed his anxiety in a constant nervous unrest, and he could not sleep. At length news came that Johnny Brannan had the steel aboard his ship and had sailed. A record run was predicted, but meanwhile the south wind brought havoc on its breath. The sun shone hotly into the valley of the Salmon, and insisted of warmth it brought a chill to the hearts of those who watched and waited. Twelve endless, mile days crawled by. Winter no longer gave battle; she was routed and in her mad retreat she threatened to overwhelm O'Neill's fortunes. On May 6 the needed bridge members were assembled, and the erection of span 3 began. The original plan had been to build this section on the cantilever, principle, so as to gain independence of the river ice, but to do so would have meant slow work and much delay—an expenditure of time which the terms of the option made impossible. Arganements had been made, therefore, to lay it on false work, as the other spans had been laid, risking everything upon the weather. As a matter of precaution the southern half of the span was connected to the completed portion, but before the connection could be fully made the remainder of the jam in front of Jackson gloering, which had caused so much trouble, herefore, weout suddenly, and the river ice moved downstream about a foot, carrying with it the whole intricate system of supporting timber beneath the uncompleted span. Many measurements showed that the north end of the steel that on the same work was thirteen inches out of line. It was first blasted by people brought the pilings of the first culinary to James Appleton. From the evident memory it is explained that the matter was of greater consequence than the south wall embankment. "Witnessed studies in 1850 and other accounts of much, who gave reports." "Whoa, scared in spite of himself, she doesn't understand. It's as bad as thunder feet, for the work can't go on with everything is in perfect alignment. What whole forest of piles must be stricken." "Impossible!" she gasped. "Why, there are thousands of them." He abook his head, still smiling doubtfully. "Nothing is impossible to Mellen and Parker. They've begun clearing away the ice on the upstream side and driving new anchor piles above. They're going to fit tackle to them and tank the whole thing upstream. I never heard of such a thing, but there's no time to do anything else." He cast a worried look at the ambling sky. "I wonder what will happen next. This is getting on my nerves." Out on the river swift work was going on. Steam from every available boiler was carried across the ice in feed pipes, the night shift had been roused from sleep, and every available man was busied in reflecting the pressure. Pile drivers hammered long timber into the river bed above the threatened point, hydraulic jacks were put in place, and steel cables were run to drum and pulley. The man worked sometimes knee deep in ice water, but they did not walk: they ran. In an incredibly short time the preparations were completed, a strain was put upon the tackle, and when night came the massive false work had been pulled back into line and the traveler was once more swinging steel into place. It was a magnificent feat, yet not one of those concerned in it could feel confident that the work had not been done in vain, for the time was growing terribly short, and, although the keecemest solid, it was rotting fast. After the southern half of the span had been completed the warmth increased rapidly. Therefore the steel crew lengthened its hours. The men worked from 7 o'clock in the morning until 11 o'clock at night. On the 13th, without warning of any sort, Garfield glacier began moving forward. It had lain tinctive even during the midwinter thaw which had started its smaller brother, but that warm spell had evidently had its effect upon the giant, for now he shook off his lethargy and awoke. He stirred, grudely at first and without sound, as it bent upon surprising the interiors; then his speed increased. As the glacier advanced it thrust the nine-foot blanket of like ice ahead of it, and this in turn crowded the river lee down upon the bridge. The movement at the camp site on the first day was only two inches, but that was sufficiently serious. The onset of Garfield at this time was, of course, unexpected, for no forward motion had ever been reported prior to the spring breakup. The action of the lee heretofore had been alarming, but now consternation spread. A paddle swept the ranks of the builders, for this was no short lived phenomenon. This was the annual march of the glacier itself, which promised to continue indefinitely. A tremendous cutting edge, nine feet in thickness, like the blade of a carpenter's plane, was being driven against the bridge by an irresistible force. Once again the endless thawing and chopping and gouging of ice began, but the more rapidly the overcrowding else was cut away the more swiftly did it bear down. The large mass began to rumble; it "cavalied." It split, detonated, and, having finally beseeched itself from its beld, it required increased momentum. As the men with chisels and steampaints became exhausted others took their places, but the structural gang clung to its perch above, augmenting the driest of rivers and the grooming of blocks and tackle. Among the ablebodied men sleep now was out of the question, for the ice-gained in spite of every effort. It was too late to remove the steel in the uncompleted span to a place of safety, for that would have required more time than to bridge the remaining gap. Piling began to buckle and bend before that treetrussel push. The whole nicely balanced mass of metal was in danger of being unsecured. Mellen curved the heavens in a black furry; Parker smiled through white lips; O'Neil ground his teeth and spurred his men on. This kevish haze brought its penalty. On the evening of the 14th, when the span was more than three quarters distilled, a lower chord section fouled as it was lifted, and two loading beams at the top of the traveler mapped. That day victory had been in sight. The driving of the last bolt had been but a question of hours, a race with the sliding ice. But with the hoisting apparatus out of use work halted. Swiftly, desperately, without loss of a moment's time, repairs began. No regrets were ruled, no effort was made to place the blame, for that would have caused delay, and every minute counted. Eleven hours later the broken beams were replaced and erection had recommenced. But now for those above there was danger to life and limb. During the pause the ice had calmed, and no effort could relieve the false work of its strain. All knew that if it gave way the workmen would be caught in a chaos of collapsing wood and steel. From the morning of May 14 until midnight of the 11th the ironworkers clung to their tasks. They dropped their tools and ran to their meals; they gulped their food and fed, back to their pests. The weaker ones gave out and staggered away, cursed and jaunted by their companions. They were rough fellows and in their deep throated profanity was a prayer. At midnight of the 10th the host riot was driven, but the ice had gained to such an extent that the lower chord was beaten down stream about eight inches, and the distance was growing steadily. Quickly the traveller was shifted to the fabs, work beyond the past, and the men under Malcolm's supervision fell in to mistaking out the blocking. For the prisoners were wounded again the fight began to cease the host for prisoners, then was a great comeback and the fight of wood, and some Brained to the breaking point, shouted "Look out! There are goo." A cry of terror arose. The men fuel, trumpeting one another in their pane. But Mellen charged them like a wild man, diving curses and orders at them until they rallied. The remaining supports were removed, the 1,500 tons of metal placed in place and rested securely on its foundation. O'Nell was the last man ashore. As he walked the completed span from pier 3 the barricade of piling beneath him was bending and tearing, but he issued no orders to remove it, for the river was doing that. In the general haste pile drivers, hooks, boilers and various odds and ends of machinery and material had been left where they stood. They were being inundated now. Many of them were all but submerged. There was no possibility of saving them at present, for the men were half dead from exhaustion. As he hurried up the muddy, uneven street to his quarters Murray felt his fatigue like a heavy burden, for he had been sixyears without sleep. 09.11.13 "Look out! There she goes!" He saw Slater and Appleton and the rest of his "boys," he saw Natalie and Eliza, but he was too tired to speak to them or to grasp what they said. He heard the workmen cheering Mellon and Parker and himself. It was very foolish, he thought, to cheer, show the river had so nearly trimmed, and the final test was yet to come. He fell upon his bed clothes as he was. An hour later the false work beneath span 3 collapsed. Although the belfire was not yet finished, the most critical point of its construction had been passed. for the fourth and final position would be built over shallow water, and no great dill cultures were to be used even though the ice went out before the work was finished. But Murray had made his promise and his beast to complete the structure within a stated time, and he was determined to live up to the very letter of his agreement with the trust. As to the result of the breakup he had no fear whatever. For once nature added him. She seemed to smile as if in approval of his breakfastness. The movement of the channel became irregular, spasmodic, but it remained firm until the last span had been put in place. CHAPTER XXIII. O! this dramatic struggle Elliza Appleton had watched every phrase with intense interest, but when at last she knew that the battle was won she experienced a peculiar evolution of feeling. So long as O'Nell had been working against odds, with the prospect of rain and failure forever imminent, she had felt an almost painful sympathy, but now that he had conquered she felt timid about congratulating him. He was no longer to be pitted and helped. He had attained his goal and the fame he longed for. His success would inevitably take him out of her life. She was very sorry that he needed her no longer. She did not watch the last bridge member swung, but went to her room and tried to face the future. Spring was here; her book was finished; there was the need to take up her life again. She was surprised when Murray came to find her. "I missed you, Elliza," he said. "The others are all down at the river bank. I want you to congratulate me." Bso saw, with a jealous twipper, that exultation over his victory had overcome his weakness, that his face was alight with a fire she had never before seen. He seemed young, vigorous and masterful once more. "Of course," he went on, "the credit belongs to Parker, who worked the bridge out in each detail—he's marvelous—and to Mellen, who actually built it, but I helped a little. Praise to me means praise to them." "It is all over now, isn't it?" "Practically, Blaine has called New York that we've won. Strictly speaking, we haven't as yet, for there we'll break up to face. But the bridge will come through it without a scratch. The ice may go out any minute now, and after that I can run." He smiled at her gladly. "It will feel good to get rid of all this responsibility, won't I? I think you've suffered under it for much as I have." A little whitishly she answered: "You're going to realize that damn you told me about the day of the storm at Kline. You have compelled this great country—as you demanded." He enquired empathy, intelligence. "You. Whirring wheels, a rumble." PAGE THREE fraffic, a broad highway of steel—thus the sort of monument I want to leave." "Some time I'll come back and see it all completed and tell myself that I had a little part in making it." "Come back?" be quieted. "Why, you're going to stay till we're through, aren't you?" "Oh, no! I'm going, south with the spring flight—on the next boat perhaps." His face fell; the exultant light graded, faded from his eyes. "Why, I had no idea! Aren't you happy here?" She nodded. "But I must try to make good in my work as you have in yours." He was looking at her sorrowfully, almost as if she, had deserted him. "That's too bad, but—I suppose you must go. Yes, this is no place for you. I dare say other people need you to bring sunshine and joy to them just as we old fellows do, but—I've never thought about your leaving. It would not be right to ask you to stay here among such people as we are when you have so much ahead of you. Still it will leave a gap. Yes, it certainly will—leave a gap." She longed desperately to tell him how willingly she would stay if he only asked her, but the very thought shocked her into a deeper reserve. "I'm going cast to tell my book," she said stillly. "You've given me the climax of the story in this race with the (Continued on Page 6.) RAILROADS Richmond, Fredericksburg & Petomac R. R.

The Nashville (Tenn.) Southern Christian Recorder says. Owing to the fact that nearly, if not all of the most needed legislation failed to be acted upon by our recently held General Conference, and that the entire connection will suffer unless something is done, the Bishops will be necessarily forced to make some extraordinary rulings in order to take care of some features that were originally intended to serve from one General Conference to the next ensuing. In some cases, certain features of our church work are marked by the need to be offered as the limit of the law under which they were operated expired when the General Conference convened. The general boards are without the legal formation, the business of the committee on Temporal Economics was not committed, and only reports, progress and some portions of the临时报告 were not acted upon when the final appointment was announced. That portion of the report of the Committee on Annual Conference, considering matters referred to acted upon by the Committee on the Revision of the Deregime, without which reference and action no law can stand. This is, indeed, a deplorable condition of affairs. The business of the General Conference was sadly notlected, but the politics of the same body received generous attention from every quarter. The blunders of parliamentary bodies, both white agicolored, are becoming noticeable everywhere, from the halls of Congress, the legislative department of State governments to the ordinary church-vesting in the country village. Those able to fulfill duties for work in Philadelphia at a great expense to the membership, elected two bishops and then went home with practically all of the most important business left unattended. When will a change take place? When will the lightening influence of the areas extend itself upon the leaders of a down-trodden and oppressed people to the extent that in their parliamentary deliberations, they shall not "learn war any more"? --- A REMARKABLE ADDRESS The address of Dr. Douglas S. Euzman at the Commencement Exercises of the Armstrong High School at the City Auditorium, Friday night, June 16, 1916, was a veritable gem, resplendent in fervid oratory, rhetorical precision, profound research and transcendent wisdom. Eagle-like, he soared in the higher atmosphere of scientific research, and showed a familiarity with the planets of literary brightness that astounded even the ordinary inhabitants of the earth below. When asked how he accomplished the feat his reply was, "Study, hard work." This has been the reply of great men in all ages. In order to achieve permanent success in any line of endeavor, the same rule holds good. The sluggish, the timid and the hesitating people in this world must necessarily be the servants for those above them. They tell with the masses under a forced draft, die and are forgotten. It is to be regretted that all Richmond did not hear this magnificent deliverance of a master mind. Mr. Freeman's contributions to the editorial columns of the Richmond (V.A.) News Leader upon the situation around Verdun in particular, and the other parts of the theatre of war in general, have attracted the attention of the people of this community. He has displayed a historical and geographical knowledge of existing conditions that is but little short of marvellous. Colored people have absolutely nothing to fear from men of his type. The prejudices of the present are find no present lodging place with him. He concluded that there could be no slavery of the mind, no restriction within the broad expanse of logic and education. The works of the great man of the past afforded unceasing joy and unlimited happiness. Men of his type are in demand now. They have been simply on the doorstep. They are devotees of great principles, and in their hands the rights of mankind, irrespective of race, color, creed or condition, are safe forever more. THE PLATFORM AND MR. WHISON The platform adopted by the National Democratic Convention last week in St. Louis, Missouri, is about as complete and as an effective document as could have been framed by that great organization. Politically speaking, it is a gem. We have looked in vain for the plank adopted at Baltimore, declaring in favor of only one term of six years for a Press-only term of six years for a Presid- Wilson's administration has certainly been one of sub-Nantial achievement in the matter of laws placed upon, the statute books. Ordinarily this would be the strong ost kind of argument in favor of the continuance of the present administration in power. The trouble is that the legislation enacted has not accomplished the results promised. Purportent Wilson has given an opportunity to test out practically all of the pet theories of himself and party. He promised to reduce the high cost of living, and instead of so doing we are paying a war tax in times of peace. Wages have been increased in some branches of endeavor and they have remained stationary in some others. We are paying war prices for food and clothing and the other necessities of life (of course, these things have been charged to abnormal conditions, but the masses of the people cannot see it in that light. Thousands of laborers are out of work, despite the thousands of others who have been called to the colors in Europe. Patroness Winsor declared that the tariff will enacted by a Republic administration was responsible for these conditions. He and his associate reduced the tariff, and as a result clothing which sold for a high price before the enactment of his pet measure, for a higher price since the reduction of the tariff. It was argued that free wool puff would reduce the cost of print paper and as a matter of fact we are paying more for print paper, better known as new paper than we paid for book paper before and the price is still rising. The people have this notion the Parsley Wives and his party there will, but they just do not know how to run the government. We shall be much mistaken if he and his party are not buried under a landslide of vote, which will emphasize the disgust of the people and affirm that they have had enough of the critics in the management of the affairs of the nation. Pursuant Windsor Wilson by way of the War Department, has mobilized the National Guard preparatory to an invasion of the Republic of Mexico. This action seems to fore shadow another Spanish-American war an attack upon a sick man, who cannot resist. Mexico is already exhausted. We are about to add to our Philippine troubles, and to enter upon another campaign of "benevolent assimilation" closely akin to that which we undertook in Cuba and the Philippine Islands. There can be no question but what this country is sadly in need of a strong administration, an administration with a settled policy and not one which is vacillating at one time and unwavering at another. How to Pack Books to Take on Your Vacation. Vacation time is coming, and not a few of us will want to take books on for pleasure or study. There is a wrong as well as a right way to pack books. Pack in small packing cases, stand the parcels on end with the edges next to the sides of the cases and the back of the blinds pointed toward the inward, placing emptied newspapers between them to ease the pressure on the round part of the books, which may be otherwise pressed flat. Line the use with wrapping paper, place a thickness of paper over the top and fasten on the cover with screws in preference to nails. How to Tell if the Valves of Your Car Are In Good Shape. The fit of the valve head and the valve seat is usually tested by coating the valve head with Prussian blue paint and pressing it in place against the seat. The valve is then turned about one fourth of a revolution and removed. If the valve and seat are proper in the entire seat who show blue, though if the valve head and seat do not fit only the high spots or ridges on the valve seat will receive a coating of blue. In such an event the grinding process should be continued until the valve head has an even bearing all over the seat. How to Remove Rusty Screws From Wood. To remove screws and nails that have become rusted into wood so that it is impossible to remove them without damage pour a little kerosene or them and after soaking a short time the rust will give way. Nuts and nuts that have been fixed by rust for years may be made to turn by similar applications of kerosene, which soon penetrates the interiors. Bahia, Brazil, April 19, 1916. To the Richmond Planet, Richmond, Va., U. S. A. My dear Mr. Editor,—Please let me say to the colored people of your section of the country and part of the world, that they should not fall asleep, as generally they do, when upon a calm sea, because the attention of their adversaries is claimed by the great disturbance on the eastern humpshore. And that lynching is lost rampant now than some time ago. Because of that, the enemy is still cultivating the germ of race hatred. Now, the time to organize, not purposelessly and without any plans or brains to guide you into a greater future, but to do every thing possible to regain your lost birthrights, develop your present possessions, faculties, etc. As I have appealed to you in every conceivable strain, to warn you of the evil of these times, but there are very few who wore the least aroused. Some of the things which I told you come immediately to pass, others are now passing, while much more is hidden in the future. There is a great danger yet, just ahead of you, and I advise that you try now to regain your political representations, which was almost nativified by the influence of Mr. Booker T. Washington during his career. Because there is an anti-Negro spirit spreading itself rapidly all over the world. It is even separatist in nature. The Negroes church the body. It is an unconscious church organizations, social gatherings, militarism, and in politics; as well as in all branches of industry. I note that there have appeared some very interesting articles about economy in your paper of late, which seems to come mostly, if not wholly, from the American Bankers' Association. It seems to be good, but I warn you that it is strictly elementary and does not get down to the social and political nature of the darker people of the world, nor does it go into the climatic and geographical nature of the subject which so seriously affects the black race. Negroes are giving up more wealth today than they were a hundred years ago. You must learn how to get a controlling influence on this wealth and develop it for the good of the people to which it belongs, and to do what it wants, political and military power right where it gets political power influence is the out-growth of your social recognition, which is generally prompted by your never-financing from your private or public duties as a self-conscious member of your social community. We owe this kind of loyalty to our ourselves, families, our children, to our neighbors, our countries, and to our God. I am very afraid, because you allow yourselves to be put to sleep too easy. I note that always, in dealing with the black race, some people put all the stress of a possible progress upon work and living. Therefore, may I remind you that the boss work, while others eat their honey, like Ngroes who work while the white man keeps their money. It is management and constructiveness which the Ngroes want to know in economy. I have pointed you to the Germans, some time ago, as the most efficient nation of the world, even before I proved this in the present war; but it seems so hard to open your eyes! Now, I will say again, that the Germans are not only efficient, but proficient. Not that I think that the individual German is better than I am, as he does have to be near so good as do. It is the cohesive and cooperativeness upon an entire reciprocal basis. They know when to do a thing: how to do it. They divide their time, labor and people in the best way to obtain and maintain what is needed by the whole. They are the most advanced people in the world; yet, they are the easiest people to reach upon friendly or business terms. Their women, like the men, are altogether practical and full of common sense. Those ignorant Negroes there in the U. S. A. who are so vociferous against the slaves, little know their own people in the tastes of residence, and how can they know anything about the great German constitution? The Negro tries to reduce everything and everybody down to their personal needs, much like those southern farmers who generally train them. To hear some of the Negroes bidding the rest to do this or that, one can well understand that it is not a scientific advice, but rather one which is intended as a compromise with their foods. They value a compromise with a foe, more than the preserverance of a friend. For instance, they will compel their children and other members of their race to concede every possible right to the white follow, just to be known as good Negroes. Hence, today one can find less democracy among the Negroes of that country than any other people: The child gets the idea that might is right, while it is yet in infancy. And after it grows up, it firmly believes that the best Negro backstory is the razor the musc of a gun or some such weapon. The newspaper men who should be the most progressive people of neighborhoods, are not even organized in a way to get their news independent of other papers. It is because that they think more of the wages for reporters than the news which goes to make their paper. Hence when anything appears in the Negro papers, it is only that which most people have read in the leading dailies. Many of the readers absolutely refuse to buy Negro papers for no other reason. But none of this can awaken Mr. Editor, who desires that white people refuse to sell their papers to Negroes, so that they will be compelled to buy their trash or read none. Hence, I say, that the trouble with the Negro race is not caused by the insufficiency of the common people, but rather the "big" them who is not thorough in what he is supposed to do. These are the principle points in economy. Some, think that money is all of the business, but there is, where they are deceived. If you have only gold and silver, that will receive the value upon it by others. For the money is useless without business, but a more useful is the property. to labor and his skill to design. This is supported by his relations with his neighbors and the identity of his friends. A person who knows that he is your friend, and does not help you to build upon the Designs which you have made, is false. No greater enemy has any man, than the one which designs of his rights and liberty. And it is for this reason that in future, students will say that, Booker T. Washington was the greatest possible enemy to the Negro race during our time. You may say what you will, but his own words and deeds are on record, which proves that he was the cause of more mischief to Nogroes, in all parts of the world than any other individual. And your good professor, Du Hols, had begun to launch out upon the same sea, by denouncing any and all who dared to advocate social equality among a free people, in their own countries. Therefore, I have liberty to denounce him, as not being a student of sociology in politics, and having little or no actual knowledge about the correct science of economy. As when there is social infliquity existing among a people, there can be no justice hoped for in the courts. One side has all the privilege, while the other is subjected; one is a slave while the other is master, and the slave has no appeal from the decision of his master. Nothing which he owns actually belongs to him. No vote is due him, because he is not self-governer. So Du Bols, or any other man, who preaches such doctrine, is laying the foundation for slavery in the near future. Therefore, they or he is an enemy to true progress, which is proven to be against any form of slavery. Hence, he proves to have little or no respect for justice, and is ignorant of all true laws of righteousness, and there are many thousands in the same body. Such men are willing to sell themselves and all who colleague with them, for the smallest possible manslue. They are not worthy to be called great; for any man who will not chance his life for his liberty is fit to be a slave, and has sold his soul to the devil. Everything is wealth, when properly used. Gold is one of the most muth of all metal, to a poor man, and its chief individual value comes from its intersplibility and its malleability, and it is very rare when a poor man needs either of these. With the exception of platinum, gold is about the scarcest of metals, proving how coordinate are the laws of God and nature. So to get down to the bedrock of social and political economy, one must consider his needs, and the most correct way to supply them. We are in this world to learn while developing all of our individual faculties, which greatly depend upon the perfection of our social organizations and our discipline. Then, I say, to make friends with another people at a loss to yourselves, is contrary to the laws of economy no matter who does it or reaches it. A Negro is generally looked upon as a weak-minded soul, simply because that he places so little value upon himself and what belongs to him, in respect to others. A Negro will leave his business to go a block with a white stranger to show him the nearest way to his destination, and on arriving there, should anyone ask how he found the way, he generally replies that an old Negro came along to show the way. There is no use in you thinking that an old person is recolored in feelings, how they have begun to imagine that you place more value upon them than upon your own interests, which is the truest character of a service person, and the white person is ashamed to be caught with you in any other capacity. This thing is not altogether private in your country, but it has taken firm hold upon all of your social and political institutions of the nation. It prevents your having elected representations in your legislatures; it prevents your living on the most respected thoroughfares; it prevents you from the free access of the value of your money, by the prohibition of equal service in public places or equal justice in your courts. There is no other people who are willing to demonstrate their service training upon such slight occasions as that of a Negro. Therefore, they must be treated with man family. So my experience coaches me that one should not go out of his way to make friends with another, unless there is some particular advantage in doing so, and if they persist in it, they lay themselves liable to be suspected as crooked by the more cultured individuals. Since, it is the first act of the gold-breaker and swindler to seek intimacy with strangers without being introduced pratt, and many individuals are just suspicious of such characters. There is a vast difference in being cordial and that of super-intimacy. There are ladies and gentlemen who often prefer to travel inconspicuous, while the crook is many times under the shadow of the eyes of detectives, and all who are seen with them are liable to suspicion. This suspicion may be communicated ignorantly to all the friends of such a one, while the actual crook takes this advantage to elude the officers whom he knows are often pursuing him. Yet, I will say that many of the things which are perfectly practical in Virginia, would not do in New York, London, or Paris. Hence, I warn you authors and editors to be a bit careful in your advice to Negroes; that is, if you have no actual knowledge of these things. As you all know, that Mr. Booker T. Washington, after many years of dictating to Negroes, got trapped in New York in a most disgraceful manner. Those who know so well that a Negro should not be intimate with white women, after certain courtesies, should also advise the white man how to be respectful to Negroes. The Negroes of virtue will not become more their men, hence the black man must marry a doubtful character many times, only to remain in the confines of what they call his race, white white man, even in the southern states, take possible advantage in destroying the virtue of day and all Negroes, as well as those of their room. Boehner T. Washington has proven that Virginia does not always preclude the most intellectual Negroes ever to be elected to the presidency. To be sure, a man, from whithammerer he demean, and should be permitted, to all the rights of any other, until he actually abuses such privilege, then he should be dealt with just as any other man should under similar circumstances. All of these things are to be reckoned with, that they affect the lives of the individual, which is the first of social or civil value with him. Those Booker Washington theorists were of the most primitive nature and entirely out of order with the time and place in which he lived. He did not hesitate to leave the confines of such idiosyncrases when his personal interests were concerned, hence it would seem that he was more anxious about being the biggest man of the race, than about how much good he was doing it. He did not conceal the fact that he wanted the white people to distranchise and lynch the Negro, nor did he respect the women of the race, beginning with his own mother. He seemed to ignore the holiness of matrimony in Negro families. He seemed to pride more the bastardly birth of a child between the cook and her master. Then we can readily see from what Mr. Washington wrote and said, that if he could not do better, it was better that he died, years ago. And those blind creatures who cannot see this should be prayed for, and their children educated in first class schools. Now, I would remind you that it is not only work, but effectiveness. You should, not only be farmers, but builders and manufacturers; also dispensers of every social necessity. You should take a hold on the refusal of government also—that of high financing. Your men and women should be thoroughly efficient in every possible branch of social and civil progress. For this is just how less than 70,000,000 souls in Germany are succeeding against the greater portion of the rest of the world. It comes from perfect organization and discipline with thoroughness in everything else, and—am not sure that the one who has as Negroes the hundreds of millions. So why should they act like babies? It seemed that Mr. Washington tried to limit the whole race to about 100,000,000 souls yet in his talk, he referred to all the race, and this showed his ignorance. Now, you who wish to be useful to your country, your race, and general society, begin to lift the Negroes to the level of social developments in the time and places in which they live. But first you must be men in your own selves. So it is not only what I, or some one else may say about it, but within the next ten or fifteen years to come, you will see what damage your form of education is to the country and nation. There are few people who had any thought of how near the Germans had covered every field of industry, and what control they hold over the markets of the world. Hence, I will say here, that the Germans are the first nation of the world, and the Japanese come second in efficiency and productivity. America is far behind, certainly, account of those hard-work people in the world. The newer unit ought to live on technical basis with other people. They do not count on ruling with superior intelligence, but rather to dominate with brute force, regardless to resistance and they have about whipped the average big "Niger" into their way of thinking. Bad economy is. This week, I'm going more good than many in the time it will be here, and preferably, as this war, in our way, another, will last a long time and affect every country and nation on the face of the globe. What I write is not to get any big name or expect I any favors there from, because you have robbed me of my birthright, which cannot be substituted by any other gift. As upon an equal basis, I can earn much more than a personal living, and as those Booker Washington theories are being preached in every social or civil gathering, I am like a picked bird with his wings cut off. I want all the world to know that I am displeased about it, since I have ideas about what evil you have done me. My views are contrary to common sentiment, because I know the truth. A true thinker does not have to be known by his race, color or place of birth. The world is wrong, and that is what brought on this war. Then woe unto those southern States, and that iniquitous doctrine coming there from. They are not progressive today, nor ever wore they, since the arrival of the first of their settlers. They lynch and burn the weak and helpless Negroes because that they were whipped out of their boots by the North. The whole world is rolling in corruption, and especially those southern States in America. These are questions which confront the student of social and political economy. We are closing upon a double millennium and the termination of a political age. For absolute social equality to all, under similar conditions, I am. A CUT WORK HINT. How to Make This One of the Prettiest Embroideries. When doing cut work, if the design is very elaborate and there are a great many bars, basic on the back of the linen a piece of plain heavy net; cling is the best to use. Embroider the design through both materials, but only all the bars. When the work is complete cut out on the right side along the purged edge. This will leave a net background, where bars are usually worked. The net holds the design together and is a splendid as well as unique substitute for the little bars. The net should be very carefully basted to the linen or it will bulge in places after the material is cut away. If you transfer your designs the safest method is to first launder both the linen and net before sewing them together. Then there will be little danger in the future of one material shrinking more than another. If a good quality of net is used it will be found more lasting than the hard. The latter have a tendency to break when handled unless they are carefully worked with very strong thread.

PAGE SIX The Iron Trail (Continued from Page 2.) "Is it a—love story?" he asked. Elise flushed. "Yes. It's mostly love." "You're not at all the girl I thought you were when we first met. You're very—different. I'm sure I won't recognize you as the girl. Who—or what is she the girl in the story?" She's just the best kind of girl that would appeal to a person like you. She's tall and dark and dangling, and of course, she's remarkably beautiful. She's very feminine too." "What's her name?" Miss Appleton stammered. "Why—I—called her Violet—until I could think of a better"— "What's wrong with Violet? You couldn't think of a better name than that. I'm fond of it." "Oh, it's a good book name, but for real life it's too—delicate." Eilza felt with vexation that her face was burning. She was sure he was laughing at her. "Can't I read the manuscript?" he pleaded. "Heaven! No! I"—She changed the subject abruptly. "I've left word to be called the minute the ice starts to go out. I want to see the last net of the drama." When O'Nell left her he was vaguely perplexed, for something in her bearing did not seem quite natural. He was formidable, at the prospect of losing her. He wondered if fathers suffered thus, or if a lover could be more deeply pained at a parting than he. Somehow he seemed to share the feelings of both. Early on the following morning Eliza was awakened by a sound of shouting outside her window. She by his half dazed for a moment or two until the significance of the uprear made itself apparent; then she leaped from her bed. Men were crying: "There she goes!" "She's coming out!" Doors were slamming, there was the crest and soff of dying feet, and it the next room Ivan was evidently throwing himself into his clothes like a freeman. Eliza called to him, but he did not answer, and the next moment he had feel, upsetting some artifact of furniture in his haste. Drawing her curtains aside, the girl saw in the brightening down men pouring down the street, dressing as they went. They seemed half demented. They were yelling at one another, but they could not stop, which world it was the lee which was moving on the bridge. The bride. That possibility set her to dress with tremulous fingers, her heart sick with fear. She called to Natale, but warmly recognized her own voice. "I don't know," came the muffled reply to her question. "It sounds like something terrible. I'm afraid Ivan will fall in or get hurt." The confusion in the street was growing. "Eliza Natale's voice was traced." "What is it, dear?" "If help me, quick!" "How?" "I can't find my other show." But Eliza was sitting on the bed, lying up her own stool beds, and an instant later she followed her beeper, purged by a wall of disarray from the adjoining chamber. Through the chill morning light she hurried, asking many questions, but resolving no coherent reply from the racing man. Then, after endless moments of suspense, she saw with relief that the massive superstructure of the bldg was still standing. Move the shouting she heard another sound, indistinct, but insistent. It filled the air with excitement, and it punctuated at intervals by a dull rumbling and grinding. She found the river bank bank with forms, but like a cat she wormed her way through the crowd until the whole panorama by before her. The bridge stood as she had seen it on the yesterday's strong, strong superb in the simplicity of its splendid outline, but beneath it and as far as her eyes could follow the river she saw, not the solid spread of white to which she had become accustomed, but a moving expanse of floes. At first the winter burden slipped past in huge masses, acres in extent, but soon these began to be rent apart; irregular black seams ran through them, opened, closed and threw up ridges of ice sheavings as they ground together. The floes were rubbing against the banks, they came sliding out over the dry shore like tremendous sheets of cardboard manipulated by unseen hands, and not until their nine foot edges were exposed to view did the mind grasp the appalling significance of their movement. They swept down in phalanxes upon the wedgeglass beekeeper which stood guard above the bridge planks, then they halted, separated, and the armored cutting edges sheared through them like blades. A half mile below, where the Salmon flung itself headward against the upper wing of Jackson glacier, the floating ice was checked by the narrow passageway. There a jum was forming, and as the river heated and tore at its growing burden a spectacular struggle went on. The sound of it came faintly but impressively to the watchers—a grinding and crushing of bergs, a roar of escaping waters. Fragments were unified, masses were rearing themselves elsewhere into the air, were overturning and collapsing. They were welding themselves into every conceivable angle, and the crowding process from above was adding to the barrier momentarily. As the passageway became blocked the waters rose; the river piled itself, up so swiftly that the eye could note its rise along the banks. But the attention of the crowd was divided between the jam and something far out on the bridge itself. At first glance King did not comprehend; then he also heard a man explaining: "He was going out when we got here and how he won't come back." The girl greeted, for she responded to party proceedings by the book of the structure in the manner of which he stood. The man was D'Angelo; he was perched upon one of the girders near the center of the longest span, where he could watch the attack upon the pyramidal ice breakers beneath him. "He's a fool," said some one at Eliza's back. "That jam is getting bigger." "He'd better let the bridge take care of itself." She turned and began to force her way through the press of people between her and the south abutment. She arrived there, disheveled and painting, to find Slater, Mellen and Parker standing in the approach. In front of them extended the long skeleton tunnel into which Murray had gone. "Mr. O'Nell is out there," she cried to Tom. Slater turned and, reading the tragic appeal in her face, said reassuringly: "Sure! But he's all right." "They say—there's danger." Happy Tom's round vuseppe packed into a doubled smile. "Oh, he'll take care of himself." Mellen turned to the girl and said briefly: But Elliza's fear was not to be go easily quieted. "Then why did he go out alone? What are you men doing here?" "It's his orders." Tom told her. Mellen was staring at the Jam below, over which the Salmon was hurrying a flood of ice and foaming waters. The stream was swelling and rising steadily. Already it had nearly reached the level of the timber line on the left bank. The blockade was extending upstream almost to the bridge itself. Mellen said something to Parker, who shook his head silently. Dan Appleton shouldered his way out of the crowd, with Natalia at his heels. She had dressed herself in haste. Her hair was loose; her jacket was buttoned away. On one foot was a shoe, on the other if bedroom slipper, muddy and solden. Her dark eyes were wide with excitement. "Why don't you make Murray come in?"丹 demanded sharply. "He went to Goll, mattered Sister. From the ranks of the workmen came a bellow of triumph as an unusually heavy bedside was swept against the breakers and rotted under. The tumble of the magnificent waters below was growing harder every moment. At last the lake gave a step to form runoff as a huge mass was released from the front of Garfield. The tumble of the Samuel where the onlookers were a beating, churning children over with the slim bridge diving itself through. Eliza paddled at her brother's sheer tumble, and she saw her for the first time. "Hello, a!" she cried. "How did you get here?" "Is he in danger, Daisy?" "Yes, yet. Melon says it's all right so it must be, but that dam!" At that moment Natalie began to set hydrotight, and Dug turned his attention to her. But his sister was not of the hysterical kind. Seizing Tom Slater by the arm, she tried to shake him, de曼挡 herre "Suppose the jam doesn't after any What will happen?" Happy Tom stared at her unimpressedness. He voice was shrill and insistent. "Supose the water rises higher. Would the be sweep down on the bridge itself. Would it be work everything if it goes out suddenly? Tell me." "It can't hold. Melton says so. Shater, like the others, found it impossible to keep his eyes from the river where these immensurable forces were at play, then in his peculiar insulated manner he complained. "I told 'em we was crazy to try this. It ain't a white man's country, it ain't a safe place for a bridge. There's just one God awful thing after another." He broke into a shout, for Eliza had slipped past him and was speeding like a shadow out across the irregularly spaced ties upon which the bridge track was laid. CHAPTER XXIV. MELLEN whirled at the cry and made after her, but he might as well have tried to catch the wind. As she ran she heard her brother shout in sudden alarm and Natalie's voice raised in entreaty, but she sped on under an impulse as irresistible as panic fear. Down through the openings beneath her feet she saw, in a nightmare, the sweeping flood, burdened with plunging ice chunks and decked with foam. She seemed to be suspended above it, yet she was running at reckless speed, dimly aware of the consequences of a misjudged footstep, but fearful only of being overtaken. Suddenly she hated her companions. Her mind was in a furious revolt at their cowardice, and she knew that hold that like a group of wooden figures safe on shore while the man whose life was worth all theirs put together exposed himself to needles peril. That he was really in danger she felt sure. She knew that Murray was apt to lose himself in his dreams. Perhaps a visionary mood had blinded him to the menace of that mounting ice ridge in front of the glacier. Or had he madly chosen to stand or fall with this structure that meant so much to him? She would make him yield to her own terror, drag him ashore, if necessary, with her own hands. She stumbled, but saved herself from a fall, then gathered her skirts more closely and pushed on, measuring with instinctive nicty the length of every stride. It was not an easy path over which she dashed, for the tides were unenvily spaced. Gaping apertures gave terrible glimpses of the river below, and across these glamly abysses she had to leap. The boar bursts of aboutting from the shore came on the workman had held her sitting out along the steel cannery. They watched her in dumb amusement. All at once O'Mell saw her and hurried to meet her. "Hilma," he cried, "be careful! What promised you to do their?" THE RICHMOND BLAET, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. "Yes!" she pleaded. "Yes! Please. They wouldn't come to warn you—they tried to stop me. You must go ashore." The frightened entree is her clear, wide open eyes, the disorder that her has had made affected O'Neil strangely. He shoved at her; bewildered, doubtful; then steadied her and groped with his free hand for support. He could feel her trembling wretchedly. "There's no danger, none whatever," he said soothly. "Nothing can happen." "You don't know. The bridge has never been tried. The lie is battering at it and that jam—if it doesn't burst"—"But it will. It can't last much longer." "It's rising"—"To be sure, but the river will overflow the bank." "Please," she urged. "You can do no good here. I'm afraid." He stared at her in the same incredulous bewilderment; some impulse deep within him was struggling for express sign, but he could not find words to frame it. His eyes were oddly bright as he smiled at her. "Won't you go ashore?" she begged. "I'll take you back, of course, but I want to stay and see"— "Then—I'll stay." "Elitzas." Her name burst from his lips in a tone that thrilled her, but with it came a sudden upward from the distant crowd, and the next instant they saw that the ice barrier was giving way. The pressure had become resistible. As the Salmon had risen the ice had risen also, and now the narrow threat was belting its contents forth. The chimes of unspired berries was being torn apart; over it gutted through it burst a deluge which filled the valley with the pour of a mihitc cataract. Clouds of spray were in the air; broken masses were leaping and眷眷叫ing; high up on the shore were stranded faces and fragments left in the wake of the moving body. Onward it coursed, chashing and grinding along the brittle face of the glacier, over the ailer top beyond the bend they could see it moving faster and faster, like the crest of a tidal wave. The surface of the river lowered swiftly beneath the bridge; the large white pants ground and milled, shoalled inside by the lean shredded pillars of concrete. "Sne! It's gone already. Once I clears a passway well we'll have more gorgeous for the freshmen are coming. The bridge didn't even tremble there wasn't a tremor, not a scratch. Elliza looked up to find O'Nell regard her with an expression that set her heart throbbing and her thoughts ttering. She chanced a huge, cold boil head and clung to it desperately, for the upheaval in her soul rivaled that which had just passed before her eyes. The bridge, the river, the valley itself were gyrating slowly, dizzyly. "Eliza!" She did not answer "Child" "O'Nell's video was shaking" "Why did you come to me?" Why did you do this and thing? I saw something in your face that I can't believe - that I can't think, possible. It gives me courage. If I don't speak quickly I'll never dare. Is it true? Dear girl, can it be? I'm so old-old such a poor thing. You couldn't possibly care, and yet why did you come?" The words were torn from him. He was gripped and shaken by a powerful emotion. She tried to answer, but her lips were soundless. She closed her eyes and Murray saw that she was whiter than the foam far beneath. He stared into the colorless face upurned to his until her eyelids futtered open, and she managed to voice the words that clung in her throat. "I've always-loved you like this!" He gave a cry like that of a starting man. He felt herself drawn against him. But now he, too, was speechless. "Couldn't you ace?" she asked breathlessly. He shook his head. "I'm such a dreamer. I'm afraid it can't be true. I'm afraid you'll go away and -leave me. You won't ever-will you. Eliza? I couldn't stand that." Then fresh realization of the truth swept over him. They clung to each other, drunk with ecstasy. "I thought you cared for Natella," she said softly after awhile. "It was always you." "Always?" "Always?" She turned her lips to his and lifted her entwining arms. The breakfast gong had called the men away before the two figures far out upon the bridge picked their way slowly to the shore. The Salmon was still flooded with hurrying masses-of THE FIRST TIME say as it would continue to be for several days, but it was running free. The channel in front of the glacier was open. Baine was the first to shake O'Neill hand, for the members of Murray's crew held aloft in some embarrassment. "It's a perfect piece of work," said he. "I congratulate you." The others echoed his sentiments faintly, healtily, for they were abashed at what they saw in their chiefs' face and realized that words were weak and meaningless. Dan dared not trust himself to speak. He had many things to say to his sister, but his throat ached miserably. Natalie restrained herself only by the greatest effort. Was Tom Slater who ended the awkward jause by grumbling sarcastically. "If all the young lovers are safely ashore maybe us old men who built the bridge can go and get something to eat." Murray smiled at the girl beside him. "I am afraid they've rolled our secret, dear." "Secret?" Stater rolled his eyes. "There isn't over a couple thousand people beside us that saw you pop the question. I stope she was out of breath and couldn't say no." Eliza gasped and felt to her brother's arms. "Sis! Poor little Sis!" Dan cried, and two tears stole down his brown cheeks. "Can't this—just great!" Then the others burst into a noisy expression of their gladness. Happy Tom regarded them all persistently. "I feel bound to warm you," he said at length, "that marriage is an awful gumble. It isn't what it seems." "It is!" Natalie declared. "It's better, and you know it." "It turned out all right for me," Tom acknowledged, "because I got the best woman in the world." But, he exhaled his chief accusingly—"I went about it in a modest way. I didn't humiliate her in public." He turned impatiently upon his companions, still pouring out their bubble of congratulations. "Come along, can't you," he cried, "and leave 'em alone." I'm a dyspeptid old married man, but I used to be young and affectionate, like Murray. After breakfast I'm going to cabbage Mrs. Slater to come and bring the kids with her and watch her be brilblen, invalid husband build the rest of this railroad. I'm getting chuck full of romance." "It has been a miraculous morning for me," said Murray after a time, "and the greatest miracle is you, dear." "This is that the way the story ended in my book," Eliza told him happily—"he book." He pressed her closer. "Yes, our book, our bridge, our everything. Eliza." She hid her blushing face against his shoulder, then with thumb and finger drew his ear down to her lips. Summoning her courage, she whispered: "Murray, dear, won't you call me-folet?" No Typographical Error Getsby Our Proof Room.

Discovered in 1516 by Juan de Bermudes, whose name was given to the delightful Bermuda islands, they lay for nearly a century in obscurity, until Admiral Sir George Somers and a party of Virginia colonists were wrecked on the islands, remaining three several months, while they built two small cedar pinnacles. In three vessels the voyage to the coast was continued, the colonists arriving at Jamestown only to find the people there without food and on the wedge of starvation. Somers volunteered to return to Bermuda to obtain a camp of wild hogs, which were plentiful and his mission ended in his death. In the Virginia colony some out of the party of colonists to Bermuda and hosted the ship that they now owned in Bermuda colony. The ship was no longer in sight, when and why time came to time and by a predator PLATFORM OF THE DEMOCRATS Treats of Preparedness, Mexico, Tariff and Other Points of Importance to Nation. The platform adopted by the Democratic convention reads as follows: "The Democratic party, in national convention assembled, adopt the following declaration to the end that the people of the United States may both realise the achievements wrought by four years of Democratic administration and be apprised to which the party is committed for the further conduct of national affairs. Record of Achievement We indorse the administration of Woodrow Wilson. It speaks for itself. It is the best exposition of sound Democracy and the best example of our work. We challenge comparison of our record, our keeping of pledges and our constructive legislation with those of any party of our country. We found our country hindered by special privileges, a vicious tariff, obstructing banking laws and an insolastic currency. Our foreign affairs were dominated by internal interests for their selfish cause. The Repeal of the Tariff was important to correct abuses which it had fostered. Under our administration, under a leadership which has failed, these abuses have been corrected and our people have been freed from them. Our architech banking and currency system, prolific of panic and disaster under the rule of the money trust—has been supplied by the federal reserve act, a true democracy of credit, under government control of world crises, mobilizing our resources, placing abundant credit at the disposal of legitimate industry and making a currency Federal Trade Commission. We have created a federal trade commission to accommodate the perplexing situation of the debt that monopoly may be strangled at its birth and legitimate industry encouraged. Fair competition in business is now assured. We have selected an adjustment of the tariff, adjudicate for revenue under peace conditions and fair to the consumer and to the business. We have burdened of taxation so that swollen income bears their equitable shares. Our regimes have been sufficient in times of war and have been sufficient in times of economic expenditures for the current fiscal year. We have lifted human labor from the category of commodities and have secured the necessary military association for his protection and welfare. We have protected the rights of the laborer against the unwarranted juvenile labor. We have guaranteed to him the right of trial by jury in cases of alleged contempt committed outside of the presence of the court. We have guaranteed the genuine efficiency, enlarged the postal saving system, added 10,000 rural delivery workers, added 100 additional economic improved the postal service in every branch and for the first time in our history placed the postoffice system on a self supporting basis, with the ability to support it. Economic Freedom. The reforms which were most obviously needed to clear away special privilege, the energies of men of all ranks and advantages have been effected by recent changes in the way in which we are as possible, every remaining element of unrest and uncertainty from the path of the business men of America and secure quiet, assured and confident prosperity. Tarif. We reaffirm our belief in the doctrine of a tariff for the purpose of providing sufficient revenue for the operation of the government, and we believe that the government unreservedly indorse the Underwood tariff law as truly exemplifying that doctrine. We recognise that tariff rates are necessarily subject to change to meet changing and trade. The events of the last two years have brought about many monotonous changes. In some respects their effect on industrial and constitutional law to be disclosed, particularly relevant to foreign trade. Two years of a war which has directly involved most of the chief industrial nations of the world and which is the result of a war, try of all nations are bringing about economic changes more varied and farreast than the world has ever before experienced. In order to ascertain what those changes may be the Democratic congress is providing for a nonpartisan tariff commission to make impartial and thorough economic fact that may throw light either on the future fiscal policy with regard to the suggestion of taxes on imports or with regard to the change and changing conditions under which our trade is carried on. We cordially indorse this timely proposal and declare ourselves in sympathy with the legislation within that field in accordance with clearly established facts rather than in accordance with the demands of national interest, if not exclusively, by them. Americanplam ```markdown ``` Preparedness Along with the proof of our characters as a nation must go the proof of our power to play the part that legitimately States love peace. They respect the rights and covet the friendship of all other nations. They desire neither any additional territory nor any advantage their nation has in the world, their skill their industry or their enterprises, but they insist upon having absolute freedom of national life and policy and feel that they owe it to themselves which it is their sole ambition to play that they should render themselves secure against the hazard of interference from any quarter and should be able to participate from the sea or in any part of the world. We therefore favor the maintenance of an army fully adequate to the requirement of the section of the nation's rights, the fullest development of modern methods of secure defense, and the maintenance of an army fully adequate to the requirements and prepared to safeguard the people and territory of the United States against any danger of hostile action. We also favor the continued federal policy for the continuous development of a navy worthy to support the United States and fully equal to the international tasks which the United States hopes and expects to take a part in performing. We also favor the press congress afford substantial proof of our purpose in this exigent matter. The platform here asserts that the WTO should be neutrality and has consistently sought to secure the peace of the world, with respect for the rights of smaller nations and the complete security of the highway of the nation. Mexican Policy The Monroe doctrine is reasserted as a principle of democratic faith. That doodle guarantees the independent republic of the United States from another continent. It implies as well the most peremptuous regard upon the people of another continent, and them. The want of a stable, responsible government in Mexico capable of repressing and punishing the marderuns takes the lives and saddened and destroyed the property of American citizens in that country, but have inviolently invaded our people thereon, has rendered it necessary temporarily to occupy by our armed forces a portion of the territory of that friendly nation, and law and order therein a repetition of such incursions is improbable, the necessity for their remaining will continue. Interventionization is revolting to the people of the United States, notwithstanding the provocation to that course has been great and the last resort. The stubborn resistance of the president and his advisers to every demand and negotiation to enter upon it is whose name he speaks. Merchant Marine Immediate provision should be made for the development of the carrying trade of the United States. * * * We heartily accept the terms and policy of the handling shipping bill. Conservation. For the safeguarding and quickening of conservation and development of the natural resources of the country by means which shall be positive rather than positive. The Administration and the Farmer. We favor the vigorous prosecution of investigations and plans to render agriculture more profitable and country life more prosperous. We believe that we and we believe this should be a dominant aim of the nation as well as of the states. Much has been accomplished in this field under the administration of the administration than under any previous government. In the federal reserve act of the last congress and rural credits act of the greatest congress the machinery has been created to carry out the farmer constanty and readily, and he has at last been put on a footing of equality with the merchant and mankind. We have a central financial necessary to carry on the enterprises. Good Roads The happiness, comforts and prosperity or rural life and the development of the city are alike conserved by the construction of national aid in the construction of post roads and roads for military purposes. Government Employment. We hold that the life, health and strength of the men, women and children in the conservation of these the general government. Wherever it acts as the employer of labor, should both its own account and as an example but into effect the following principles of most employment. 1. A living wage for all employees. 2. Deaded.

Generous personalities for soldiers are favored. "We recommend the extension of the franchise to the women of the Philippines as a means to men."

Chicago, June 16.—Senator Ollie M. James in his address as permanent chairman of the Democratic national convention praised the present administration for its "matches record of promises kept" and for freeing the senate from the control of the great interests, by making it elective by the people at the polls and for driving invisible government, the lobby, out of Washington. Referring to the tariff question, Mr. James said the present law was an achievement to be proud of, declared that "not a schedule in it fosters monopoly; not a rate in it protects a trust; and said that new trade conditions after the war would be met by appropriate legislation. Then he touched on the federal resource law and declared that it abolished panics and that it had saved this country from a financial upheaval when the present war broke out. Referring to the Mexican situation, Mr. James said President Wilson has handled it ally and that "this policy has been the same as that of Abraham Lincoln under like conditions more than half a century ago. When the Republican platform at Chicago denounced the Mexican policy of Woodrow Wilson it denounced at the same time the similar Mexican policy of Abraham Lincoln—the one they have heretofore called the "patron saint" of the Republican party." Mr. James, discussing Americanism, said that of those who came here as well as those who were born here, "all we ask is that the song you shall hold dearest to your heart is the "Star Spangled Banner."" Mr. James defended the preparedness policy of the administration and delivered a powerful and glowing outlogy of President Wilson's achievements in the cause of peace. He said: Some of the president's opponents tell us that the president's foreign policy has been evil and vacillating. Tonight more than a quarter of the nation has an unbroken family firewall with their wives at their sides and their children around their knees and contract that with their husbands. They have added a groom and mourning upon every hand. If that is evil and vacillating, God prosper it and teach it to the ruler of the old world. He has taught us a single American child; without widowing a single American mother, without firing a single gun or shredding a drop of blood, he wrung from the most militant spirit that ever brooded. American demands and American rights. He has struggled for peace. His funder hope, his most fervent prayer is for the peace, not only for the world. When the last great day shall come, and before the last god of God the nations of this earth shall march in judgment review, who is it that will be with the blood hospened mother of the old world? I can see him with the white light streaming upon his head and hear the Master say, "Blessed be the children of God." How to Adjust Gee Mantles Without Puncturing Them. You should learn to adjust your own gas mantle instead of sending for a man and paying anything from 20 to 50 cents for them. They can be bought for 10 cents and are easily adjusted. After fitting the mantle over the burner the principal thing to do is to "burn" the mantle as soon as it is adjusted. Apply a match and don't be started when the whole mantle burns up. The coating is simply burning off a necessary operation. New Windows Can Be Prepared by the Householder.

Sun, June 19, 1916] Frederick Weaverson, whose affections have been valued at $250,000 by his wife, Mrs. Brownie Rathbone Weaverson, in her suit against Mrs. Caroline Frame, was a witness before Supreme Court Justice Gavegan and the jury yesterday in behalf of Mrs. Frame. He denied that his relations with the wealthy widow were more than those of a secretary and later of a son. Weaverson divided interest on the witness stand with Chief Meyers, ex-Giant catcher and now on the Brooklyn baseball team, who appeared for Mrs. Weaverson and said he didn't care much for her husband. Chief Meyers, who was one of the first witnesses yesterday, smiled as he said he didn't embrace the teachings of Madzhanzantim, of which Mrs. Weaverson is a high priestess. He was called to tell Weaverson's attitude toward his wife at the time his feelings, were alleged to be changing. The witness said he visited the couple in their apartment on Riverside Drive and afterward at their summer place at Grassstone, N. Y., in 1911. "The seemed happily married were affectionate and better and seemed like a four old couple when I first saw them," he said. "The last time I saw them in 1914 Weaverson's attitude was not pleasant." THE CHIEF IGNORE? "When Weaverson came in I was there with my wife Mrs Weaverson said, 'Here's the chief, but he invaded my and everybody in the room and walked out, without speaking, I didn't know what to think of it.' "You didn't like him for that, did you Chief?" asked Aaron J. Potemmour counsel for Mrs. Frame, on cross-examination. "I didn't like him for walking out on me" replied Meyers. Mrs Weaverson, whose testimony was concluded yesterday, said that when her husband replied the building at 52 West Twelfth Street in order that she might open the Ottoman Cub to teach the doctrines of Ottoman Zar-Adudsh Hanish, the Mazharran, he was prompted as much by a desire to make a good business deal as anything else. When asked what Mrs. Frame said to her on one occasion when she came to the Weaverson apartment crying, the plaintiff said: She said that Mr. Weaverson was getting more and more tender to her and that she couldn't stand it any longer and was going to take herself out of his life and go to Europe." Joseph Seymour, former hand man on the Weaverson estate at Grayson was also a witness for Mrs. Weaverson. He said: "I was the only servant on the place. On several different mornings I saw Mr. Weaverson in the kitchen cooking pancakes for Mrs. Frames while she was upstairs. He cooked other meals for her too. She used to call him 'Fritzie' and 'My dear Fritzie', and he called her 'Dear'. They used to walk arm in arm through the grounds, and I saw them kiss and embrace each other." WOULDNT SIGN PAPER "Did you work in the bedrooms?" "Yes, as I say. I was a very handy man. There were several bedrooms in the house, but while Mrs. Frame and Mr. Weaverson were there I soldom had occasion to make up more than one bed." Seymour said that he left the place just before Mrs. Weaverson brought her suit, and that Mrs. Frame asked him to sign a paper stating that he never saw anything wrong between her and Weaverson. He didn't sign it, he said. When Weaverson took the stand, he told of meeting his wife first when as a reporter on a Chicago paper he went to write up a runaway accident that caused the injuries from which her husband died. "The day after our marriage she told me she wouldn't have children," said Weaverson. "It was a great sorrow and grief to me." The witness said that he and his wife talked of separating in Chicago in 1900, in which year he first became interested in Christian Science, which he has studied ever since. He first met Mrs. Frame in 1804, when she asked him to become a worker in the Fourth Church of Christ, Scientist, in New York. "Do you know what Mazdaznan beliefs are?" asked Mr. Jetmore. "I wouldn't care to say. I know my wife didn't eat me and often fasted." "What were your relations with Hanish and other Mazdazmann?" "I tried to be polite to them. I didn't object to my wife associating with them, but I didn't want any proselytizing done in my own home. When she took charge of the association here my affection for her was lessened. I paid a good deal of the expenses of the Mazdazman Club here and don't know how much she paid." KISSED MANY TIMES. Weaverson said that a year after he began working with Mrs. Frame in the Fourth Church he became her secretary and business manager. "Did you ever have any other relationship with her besides business?" "Our relationship grew to such a point that Mrs. Fram consulted a lawyer about adopting me as her son. Our relations became those of mother and son. I kissed her many times, but only as a son would kiss his mother." "Were your relations always open?" "Yes; I went on trips with her and sometimes my wife went along. She not only didn't object, but urged me to go." Weaverson said that once when his wife accused Mrs. Frame of trying to induce him to divorce her he thought of getting a separation. He said Mrs. Frame told him not to get a divorce. "Why did you want to separate?" "Because our ideals and interests were different and there was no companionship." "Did anything Mrs. Frame ever say or did have anything to do with alienating your affection from your wife." "The only thing she ever said that made any impression on me was that it was too bad that my wife wasn't interested in Christian Science. She said it several times." "Did she ever say Mrs. Weaverson was not fit to be your wife?" "No." The trial will continue Monday. St. Louis, June 15 — "I know of one man who knelt down and thanked God when he heard that I had been defeated, and I do not doubt that he was perfectly sincere," said W. J Bryan in a speech before the City Club today. "I heard of another, who, in fainting a wasted life, declared that he knew of only two things that could be put to his credit in the final accounting. He had been a regular attendant at church and he had always voted against Bryan. I have no doubt that he was sincere too. The trouble with such people is that they do not understand government and they do not understand me." Mr. Bryan said he was the exponent of a "new diplomat." "The diplomacy of the world," he said, "is arrayed in military uniform. It is high time it was put back in civilian attire. I have felt that there was great need that some one should speak in favor of a new diplomacy that should discard threats and ultimatum and proceed on the theory that nothing is final between friends." This nation embracing that doctrine is in a better position than any nation on earth has ever been to lead in war and the world on toward a new and better day. I feel that when the war in Europe is over the people of the country will turn from militaristic thought to a better preparedness built on the super and more civilian foundations of cultivated friendships with all the nations of the earth. "God forbid that the first papers of this country should be permitted to sow the seeds of discord between this nation and nations who never have been our enemies. I have been preaching the doctrine that if diplomacy fails we must not carry our disputes to the point of war. We must be prepared to postpone settlements until the war is over, when the people can be free to consider what is involved. "If we are attacked I am willing that we should fight until our last man, but I do not want to see a single American mother's son shipped across an ocean 5,000 miles wide to blood and die in the settlement of some King's dispute."

ANDREW BOWLER, Pastor WHY BACHELORS DON'T MARRY --- (By Barbara Craydon) Is the big and growing army of well-to-do bachelors a reflection on the modern girl? Is the fact that scores of highly eligible men, after numerous social seasons are still unmarried, an indictment of the modern girls? "Yes," emphatically answer the members of the bachelor legion, "it is." And the testimony presented by some of them, William Matheus Sullivan, of New York in particular, concerning the shortcomings of the 1916 girl, make even a gentle observer of the fair sex wince under the severe arraignment. Is it possible that the modern girl, following new trials of interest other than the immediate one of husband-hunting, has become so lacking in all the charms and graces in gentleness and feminine loveliness and all the qualities over which poets have sung and Romeo have raved that she no longer thrills the heart of man? "Yes, indeed," reply the army of bachelors. Has woman's vanity for social conquest, for display of clothes, for cabaret amusements, destroyed or lessened her old-fashioned and natural desire for the happy contentment of mistress of a home and family? This is a question some may pause to ponder over, but not the confirmed bachelors. Their minds are made up, they say, and their answers given. IDEALS HAVE NOT CHANGED. Intellectual standards may change complain these pessimistic bachelors, but qualities of heart, they point out, such as sympathy, gentleness and sweet womanism, representing high standards of womanhood, such as "our mothers and grandmothers" possessed, and which have inspired men since the beginning of time, have not changed. These are the ideals of womanhood, may these men, which time and fashion cannot obliterate. Their ideals have not changed—no indeed, says the knight of the twentieth century—only the girls themselves have changed, and sadly, too. COL. GREENS IDEAL Members of this legion of unmarried men love to quote the star bachelor of them all, Col. Edward M. R. THE RICHMOND PLANET Green, son of Hotty Green, and joint heir with his sister to an estimated fortune of $120,000,000. Col. Green, who has remained immu- nity to Cupid's call for 48 years, compa- nies that his ideal of a wife, simple as it is, represents a rare species. In his own words, this in his ideal: "An old-fashioned, modest, stay-at-home, fireside woman, who does not think too much about money or keep a weather eye on possible alfmony." Mr. Sullivan says in his social experience, and it has been a broad one, that he has not met the sort of girl whom he would choose to preside over his handsome country estate in the fashionable colony of Rye, N. Y. The reason is, he says, that the girl whom he might choose to share his fortune is not concerning herself about home life. "The modern girl," says M. Sullivan, whose engagement has been rumored many times, and as many times entailed, "is growing less attractive to the men of today, because of habits that unit her for home life" LEAP YEAR WON'T DENT RANS Mr. Sullivan, who is good looking, 36 years of age, of excellent family, and popular in society, practices law in New York. He is a member of the University Club, the American Yacht Club, golf, tennis, and other social and athletic clubs. He won high praise on several occasions for his part in amateur theatricals given by society for various charitable affairs. "Leap year, with its so-called feminine similes and wiles, I believe will not record any appreciable dent in the growing ranks of bachelorhood" observes Mr. Sullivan, in contemptuously voicing his convictions. "This army of bachelors is increasing from year to year, and the reason is patent, for the bachelor's observation of the moderner] is strengthened by testimony he is often compelled to listen to from some of his married friends at the club, and from conversation and discussion of the girl heard there. Perhaps I can best write my own opinions of the so-called upbeat girl by the following conversation heard at a fashionable club recently. When a group of men was discussing the rumored engagement of one of their friends. The conversation was something like this: MODERN GIRL. A SUREN. "No, I am immune," protected the man, whom we may call Mr. Brown for convenience. The gossip that I am to marry Miss Green is more nonsense. Instead of booking after a man's comforts in the home, she would require some one to watch carefully over her all hours of the day. "She drinks more champagne than any man I know. She smokes cigarettes. Lady smoking cigarettes over the breakfast table is my wife! The thought is repellant. Women do not break off these habits after they marry. I know this from my married friends. No, they are all alike, these highly up-to-date girls. "If a man wants a wife such as the memory of his mother recalls he must go to the backwoods or possibly to some desert island, still uncontaminated by cabarats, gold-tipped cigarettes, gold cloth gowns, rouge and girls whose overwhelming desire is to facilitate every man who crosses their path. Sincerity? Bah! The modern girl is a siren." "So much for Mr. Brown," remarked Mr. Gallivan. "What a life a man would lead with any of the girls I know!" adds a middle-aged man, whose income is at least $2,000 a week, so that the question of providing for a wife and family does not figure in the question of his bachelorhood. "Fancy being dragged out night after night to charity balls, late supports, dinners, theater parties and the whole category of things which make it possible for the modern girl to display her clothes and her vanity. The husband merely represents a background or prop for this sort of thing." THE MODERN GIRL'S PROGRAM "Dance half the night. Sleep half the day. This is the modern girl's program. "What of the man who is compelled to go to business, even for some period of the day? No rest, no peace, no comfort with the modern girl. For a man to attempt to follow her in her follies would require the patience of a saint, the endurance of a Napoleon, and the bank account of a Croquis. Single life certainly has its compensations. "These men are unmistakably correct in their diagnosis of the modern girl's case. For instance, when I met a married friend of mine the other day I said gayly, 'Remember que to your wife.' I will if I see her, he told me I haven't seen her for three days now, he said. 'She sleeps until late in the morning, and I never see her before I go to the office. I go to the club after business hours, for there is nothing to go home for. My wife is never there, except when she runs home to change her gown for the evening. By the time I get home she has gone out to some affair." "Aren't just such experiences as these, which one is constantly having with members of the married so enough to blast a man's most rosy-colored matrimonial picture? Men are getting wise. They see too much of the other side of this picture. What is there that is lovely or lovable about the "critified girl?" asks Mr. Suillivan. "She apes men until we treat her as one of us. She smokes like a man, she drinks like a man, and she even wears man's clothing. "Perhaps the girl of this age is merely sowing her wild oats. I hazard the guess that the disease will run its course in due time. I wager she will tire of this sham life she is leading and revert to a normal state. At least, let us hope, that when she realizes that this folly cannot bring happiness or contentment—for these young women are neither happy nor contented—that she will have the courage to drop the mask and admit her mistake. Well, until she does, we men will go on dancing, and that sort of thing, but when it comes to choosing a wife—well, the constantly increasing army of bachelors. I believe, fully explains the bachelor's indictment of this class of the twentieth-century girl." IS THIS TRUE?
