slight sigh.
Lem made no direct reply to this bit
Of philosophy. He was in the mood of
having his dreams come true and risk
ing the contentment. The suspense
grew u%nbearable. He must know.
Anything was better than uncertainty.
"Cynthy," he said softly, and the girl
started from her reverie and turned to-
ward him. Her face looked pale and
weary, as If life had lost some of it's
charm. 1t made him pause a moment,
but he gulped hard and spoke again.

failure of contentment for me. 1t is a

until she was fifteen years old and her
family had moved away to the city,
where there were more advantages for
the children. He had been seventeen

and Lem felt no disposition to
quarrel with it under the circum-
stances. He let his mind run
back to the long ago days when he
carried her books to school and plan
ned small treats within the scope of
their narrow lives which his awkward
tongue and self conscious mind almost
prevented his laying before her. Gym
thy was not given to many words her
self, and so when he finally managed
to suggest "S'pose we go berrying Sat-
urday?" or skating, as the season
might allow, Cynthy had always con-
tented herself with replying %"S'posin'."
He saw himself again as he was in
those days, big for his years, hands
and face tanned almost a leather color
with sun and wind, a shock of unruly
brown hair and eyes Of almost the
same shade. He did himself but scant
justice as far as appearance went. 1t
did not occur to him that he had been
a goodly sight to look upon even at
that time, for he had been then as now
the seeming embodiment of rugged
health. Looking at Cynthy, he saw
traces Of the same air of fragility that

seemed to set her apart from the other

was not an indication of weak health,

parency of skin which neither sun mol
wind seemed to affect. He felt just as

Of this country. The people were be-
hind it, they approved. There is a
growing feeling that wealthy malefac-
tors should be treated as ordinary citi-
zens and not escape with fine alone.
And in a large way Taft might have
gone on to show the many cases in
which the chief executive of the coun-
try must act as a judge. Here, too,
he must act without fear or favor"
He must realize that the people act
not only as a jury on the matters in
which he is deciding, but as his own
jury after he has decided. This is the
safeguard of our country.
Justice without fear or favor" this
is the first and greatest command
ment and on it hangs all the law and
welfare of the country.

In his speech made yesterday at the
dedication of a court house at German
town, Va. Judge Taft said something
which should appeal to every COM
munity in the land
Those he said, who administer
justice shall know that they are under
the critical eye of men and women
entitled to have Justice of the people
administered without fear or favor"
And he went on to say that the people
had share in the responsibility of the
judiciary not only in their scrutiny of
the judges but in their capacity as
jurymen.
In that, he took notice of the grow
ing tendency for real justice in this
country without fear or favor" The

Lands was an epoch in the decisions

voices seemed to shrill out: Lost!

their glazed eyes there was little hope

course an attempt to put into model

remarked that Richmond had less m

size in this part of the country and
that the cause of this was Just sucn
tactics as the board of public works
had adopted and which Mr. O'Neal
had just extolled. Such tactics frigh-
tened traction lines away from Rich
mond instead of encouraging them to
enter the city. Mr.. Won Pein stated.
Mr.. Study accused the councilmen
of not abiding by their decision to
stand pat on the franchise prepared
by the board which provided for the
acceptance of city line tickets on d.

the traction company been willing to
accept this provision, it would have
been acceptable 10 council but that
inasmuch as the company refused to
accept such a provision he did not
see why the city should allow such a
trivial matter to stand in the road of
effecting a satisfactory agreement

JACK|ES ARE INJURED
Steam Pipe on BattIeship
Kearsarge Lets Go With
Serious Result.
FIVE MEN BADLY BURNED.

Honolulu, July 21.-By the bursting
of a steam pipe of the forward star
board boiler of the battleship Kear-
sarge of the Atlantic fleet, five of the
fireroom crew were injured seriously.
The accident occurred late Saturday,
but the news did not become generally
known until today, the Kearsarge be-
ing anchored in the harbor distant
from the shore. Fires were drawn af
ter the accident and the steam plant
was disabled for nine hours.
All the injured are doing well and
none will die, although all are suf
fering from burns caused by the scald-
ing steam. The bursted steam pipe con-
nected the forward starboard boiler
with the dynamos. In order to make
repairs it was necessary to draw all
the fires and allow everything to cool
The names of the worst injured are

Is this dishonesty?
1t is the principle of political econ
omy that the man who takes the risk
(the entrepreneur) and the manage
ment Of the business together with the
Investment of money shall take a
large share of the profits as represent
ing his reward. This is only fair. for
in event of failure it is the man who
invests the money and who takes the
risk who must take the Indebtedness
upon himself.
If however the business is conduct
ed on a large scale the profits of the
entrepreneur become enlarged in due
ratio. Is there any thing dishonest
about that? No for the risk has in
creased in the same ratio.
The marvellous development of the
itSouI CSS anu prosperity VI the COuLl-
try, the increase in wages and employ
ment, is due to just such men as Dan
iel G. Reid. They have taken the
risk, they should have the reward.
The risk was enormous-the reward
should be large
These men should be praised for the
employment of hundreds of thousands
of men. Internal development should
not be made the subject of flippant
criticism for purposes of personal no.
toriety.
There is no time in a busy world
for men who assail true business in.
tegrity with cheap sensation Modern
life demands that labor and capital I'M
derstand each other, SO that the work
of the world shall go on easily: not
that they shall misunderstood each
other and interrupt business. Such
unfounded statements as that reported
to have been made by Mr.. Ware work
for misunderstanding and unfounded
jealousy and trouble between capital
and labor.
