ship-subsidy Advocate Routcd.

Admiral Bowles, who deserted the
navy for the ship trust, has been de-
batting the advantages of the ship-sub-
sidy bill before the Economic Club of
Boston. The opposition to the subsidy
policy was admirably stated by Con
gresham Byrd, CT Mississippi who
routed the subsidy advocate by show
Ing that those who must pay most of
the tax, get little, or nothing, of the
advantages. He also showed that
Democrats are opposed to all subsidies
on the general principle of not grant
Ing special privileges to anyone. When
the plundering tariff is revised and
reformed, so that the protected trusts
are compelled to compete with import
ed goods and thus reduce the high cost
of living ship building and ship own
Ing and sailing will again become
profitable instead of being strangled to
death by the vicious and unwise laws
passed by the Republicans. In the old
days before the Republican party, with
its special privileges, was thought of

laws enacted by the Democracy. the

MEN NOT so SELFISH.
Club Delegates Set Them Right ON
Suffrage-OMccrs Elected.

Undergraduates Elected.
Man, his points, good and bad, came
in for a share of comment at Wednes-
days session of the General Federation
Of Women's Club in st. Paul. Woman's
suffrage had the call and Mrs. Mary
G. Andrews, Of Omaha, Neb., took a
fling at men, referring to them as sell
fish because of their failure to extend
the general franchise to women. This
declaration brought Mrs. Robert Hall
Wiles of Chicago to her feet with this
defense of men:
1.-The American man is the most I'M
selfish man in the world. He is much
more unselfish than the American wom-
an. Property rights are just as fair
toward women as toward men, and the
delegate from Nebraska is wrong when
she says the men want to keep the bal
lot themselves through selfish motives,
or because they do not want the women
to have property rights. Women can
get as much favorable legislation now
as they could were they able to vote.
We cannot have it go out from here
that we believe men are selfish"
This was a hot one for the delegate
for Nebraska, who qualified her pre-
vious remarks. She squared herself
thus:
Il love all men. l idolize man; he is
an adorable creature. | wouldn't have
that impression go out from here for
anything. I'm not talking about the
good men we all love- 1 referred only
to the politician"

The People stin Rule.

Washington in his farewell address
said the basis of our political system
was "the right of the people to make
and unmake." The trusts and corpora
lions have been created by the state,
therefore the power that made them
has the power to control and even 10
unmake them. As long as corporations
confne their operations to legitimate
ends for minimizing the cost of pro-
duction and marketing and reducing
the price of their products, or transpor-
tation, they were blessing. But now
when the corporations restrain trade
and combines are created to defeat
competition and control legislatures and
courts and pay of their ill-gotten
gains to elect presidents, they violate
free people. The trusts and corpora
lions have almost universally become
criminals and in league with the dom
inant political party chey divide the
spoils of which they have plundered
the people Laws, such as the tariff
have been so distorted that instead of,
as originally intended, furnishing mon
ey to run the government they now
plumber the many to enrich the few.
Is it any wonder that the people are
universally demanding that these over
grown trusts be curbed and the charges
of the railroad corporations be regu-
lated? To say that this cannot be done
is to put these combines above all law
and superior to the sovereign power of
the state and the people.
Under the Republican policies, which
have fostered these giant corporations
and have aided them in establishing a
modern feudal system, which is diff
cult to overthrow, the cost of living
has advanced 46 per cent and the cry
from the people for relief is over
whelming. Democratic statesmen fore
told this result, and for years have de-
manded that the people be preserved
from these plunderers by wise restric-
lions, but the itch for the almighty
dollar blinded the eyes of a majority
of the voters for a time. Now, most
Of them are turning again to Demo
cratic policies, for the burden of the
trusts and corporations IS intolerable,
but it is no easy task to undo the harm
that has been done and prevent it In
the future. But the people who ere
ated can unmake and special privil-
eyes can be revoked, and will be, when
the voters elect honest representatives
in State and nation who will return to
the good old Democratic policy of

JUST IN TIME.


81 RESSING herself all in white, as
IL II was her custom almost every af-
ternoon, Molly White went to sit
in the hammock to read and wait the
return of her husband who had gone
to the next town on business. She had
been reading some time, when sudden

the vines she saw young scout, one of
her husbands friends, come galloping
up the road toward the house very
much excited. She thought of her hus-

fore anyone could demonstrate with
her. The others mounted quickly and
were soon following their mistress, but
she was more than a match for them.
Fer horse was a thoroughbred the
fastest on the ranch. and Molly thought
that by urging him on to a quick run,
she might yet be able to reach her hus-
band In time to warn him of his dan
ger. On, on she rode, now and then
bending over Kings neck, to whisper
in his ear, and the good steed, seeming
to understand, went faster and faster,
until those who followed were just
able to discern white speck disappear
ing in front of them.
But not until the sound of horses
hoofbeats had become lndistinct, did
Molly realize the danger to which she
had subjected herself in riding so far in
advance of the others. She knew that
IL the highwaymen were at Black Rock
first, and they probably would be- they
would not let her. his wife. pass: but
this thought did not cause her to lose
courage nor to slacken speed. She turn
ed around once more, and could Just see
four figures following at some distance,
and hoped earnestly that they might
not be far off when she should reach
Black Rock.
BY this time the moon had risen,
lighting up the whole plain, and not q
half mile off, she could see the huge
rock loom up before her. She strained
her eyes, and looked beyond, to see II
there was a lone rider coming from
that direction; but no one was in sight.
and she knew then that her husband
had not yet reached the spot.
AS she came to within 100 yards of
the place, a masked man stepped out
from behind the rock, and shouted
Halt" at the same time leveling re-
volver at her. But she had no thought
of halting, and raising her own revol-
yer, she fired. The man fell, and she
galloped past him, but not before one
of the wounded mans companions had
fred and hit her with a bullet. She
felt faint and slipping the revolver into
its holster, she placed her hand TO her
side. The palm at once grew warm
with blood. She was now so weak that
she could no lor ger manage the reins,
so King of his own accord slowed down
to trot There was no need of has
tening now, for her own men had come
upon the desperadoes. and after a sharp
scuffle the latter were made prisoners.
Molly had not ridden far when on
looking up she saw a man riding on a
white horse, whom she knew to be her
husband. She gave high of relief, and
tried to call out to him, but the sound
was only q moan.
King, being no longer guided, stopped
suddenly The jolt caused Molly to reel
in her seat, but instead of falling to the
ground, she fell into a strong pair of
arms. A voice was saying things she
liked but could not hear, but she knew
that voice only too well. She smiled, as
she whispered, so low that he could
scarcely hear, "Just-just In time,
Will"
In times In time for what, dearY'
he asked gently, wondering what she
could mean.
But there was no answer He turned
her face to the moonlight. The quiet
lips smiled still, and the beautiful face
was almost as white as the dress she
wore.
