Plenty of complaints come from Russia,
but nothing of that sort is heard from
Japan. While one country is convulsed
from end to end with riots and revolu-

lands for safety, the other is united and
peaceful and preparing for long period
of unexampled prosperity.

"All right" he said, and went out
The first glance at his visitors card
had given Peter Potter a fairly clear
idea of what was wanted. The Chi
cago papers had noticed the great
fight between the Citizens Gas COM

and a new company, which had Sc

of his carefully kept scrap books the
detailed story Of the struggle so far as
it had been printed. As a veteran in
such campaigns between big corpora
tons it was easy for him to read be-
tween the lines and supply what was
missing. 1t was really a very interest
ing and complicated fight The Citi-
zens company was capitalized for
$4,000, 600 and the profits it had at
stake were enormous. Peter Potter
felt that an Independent command in
such struggle might we well worth

Peter Potter took the card with a
curious Strengthening of his neck and
a projecting forward Of his beak-like
profile.
1.-TWO o'clock tomorrow afternoon" he
said shortly. Then he laid the card
on his desk, thrust his hands back into
his pockets and went on rocking end
lessly back and forth
"Mistuh Pottah'll see yuh at o'clock
tomurruh aftuhnoon, subj" the negro
told the little fat man who was wait
ing in the outer office.
That wasn't treatment TomIinson
was used to and he didn't like it. After
travelling up from Metropolis to Chi
cago to see Peter Potter he didn't en-
joy being put off iE this way. Little
purple blotcheS came against the deep
red of his face. He started to growl
an angry objection, then thought bet
ter of it and stopped. Since the pres
ent fight began he had run up against
a good many unusual things. And he
knew his present situation was des-
perate. If he couldn't enlist Peter Pot
ter on his side of the battle Ii was
almost hopeless. The stakes were too

Where were the rest of your fol-

Potter.
"Hoefeld had bought 'em all up-the
traitors. He'd corrupted every one Of

money to for months and months.
tell you, Mr.. Potter, politics in this
country is just absolutely rotten"
Why didn't you fix the mayor"
we did. And then Hoefeld damned
the ordinance through the council over
the mayors veto"
Who's backing the Public Gas COM
Dany?"
'Hoefeld's backing t." said the little
gas president, beating the desk with
his fist. 'HOefeld and his gang of
crooked aldermen, They're backing II

cash we paid them out of our earn

Tomlinson was almost overcome with
Indignation.
Think of it, Potter" he said appeal
ingly. Here's a man we've paid
more than fifty thousand dollars in
the last five years. / always thought
he was a good. straight, square, hon

him at good, stiff price. He laughed

in my face and said 1 was just as big
a CRATER as he was. Wanted to call
in lot of reporters and have me tell
'em how much we'd paid him since he
entered the council. Said he'd admit
it, too. Now what can a business man
do with a chap of that kind? / tell
you politics in this country is a ID

ITS very shocking, indeed" said Pc
ter Potter.
He wouldn't sell Out-wouldn't listen
to reason at all" went on Tomlinson.
Went right ahead and laid mains and
service pipes all over town. Laid 'em
with our money, Potter Then he fixed
up a deal with the Fayette County
Natural Gas company and had an ordi-
nance passed fixing the maximum price
of fuel gas at fifty cents a thousand
feet. Now what do you think of
that?"
Very sad said Peter Potter.
And now he announces publicly that
the gas will be turned into his mains
on May 1. That's only TWO weeks off,
