around them a bank of flowers making
a bower. On the wall were many
school pennants they making a very
nice display and bringing forth much
comment. A punch bowl, in charge
of Mrs Archie Bradford, was the CEN

bowls of flowers gave additional color.

in this city for some time.

CHAPT Err ~.
The Whip Of the Blast,


Deep in a small gulch, the red earth
bleeding through it's torn mantle,
crouched a raw little railroad town.
Cabins, tents, huts, lean-tos propped
against trees, scraps of shops, false
fronted stores and "ginmills" huddled
new and painless between the clasp
ing hills.
1t was an hour before noon when a
slender little engine, with spidery
wheels and huge, overlapping smoke
stack, pulled into the rude shed that
was hung up on the mountain side
above the town and called by courtesy
a depot.
A man paced the boards nervously,
impatient at the sacrifice of time re-
Quired to meet so indefinite a person
age as telegram-introduced young
man in our employ who wishes to see
your work" The restless man was
George Gregory, superintendent of con-
struction, the human engine that exc
cuted the commands of the officers at
Sacramento. Alfred presented a letter
from the governor, magic bit of pa
per that arrested even George Greg
ory's lurid thoughts at the sight Of
this "dandified ballroom cublet."
The atmosphere was decidedly clear
er when the superintendent looked up
from the letter. when will you be
ready to go over the grading Mr.. Vim
cent? I'll have your horse sent any
time you say after dinner"
After dinner, sir? The train leaves
nat two o'clock, doesn't it?"
Yes; but you'll not go back today,
will you?"
Cant l get to the Front and back
by two?"
mo, not to the Front; yet you can
see nearly all of the completed grade
IL you start at once. Yo'll miss your
dinner, though"
II don't wish to incommode you, sir.
Could not some other person conduct
me? Dinner is unimportant. l must
return today if possible"
A shade of appreciation crept into
the superintendent keen glance.
Very well. Mr.. Vincent. I'll have
your horse IN ten minutes. You ride ?
Our stock is cantankerous at times
II ride a little; if not well enough,
Ill have to walk"
"Plucky!" thought the older man, as
he dispatched a messenger for Alfred

ing kilograms to the Sacramento office.
Meantime Alfred wrote a short note

MORALS AND THE TARIFF.
Demoralizing Effect of Two Genera
tions of Protection.

The New York Evening Post, allud-
ing 10 President Roosevelts saying
that he could never see a moral issue
in the tariff, recalls an address by
David Starr Jordan before the Eco
nomic congress in London last August,
in the course of which he said:
If the principles Of our republic are
right, then the theory and the practice
of the protective tariff are wrong; it's
greatest evil is moral, not economic.
1t lies in the perversion of our theories
Of government, the introduction of the
idea of class enrichment through legis-
lation. Behind all discussion of sources
and means of prosperity. the fact re-
mains that Democratic Justice, funda-
mental equity between man and man,
can never be realized in America so
long as any trace of the protective tar
if remains on our statute books
The Post then recalls Garfield's
statement when a congressman, that
service on the ways and means COM
mittee was morally depressing because
of the uncOncealed selishness shown
there. The Post adds that Congress
men Payne and Dalzell are startled at
the swinish displays made daily before
the committee-which recalls Charles
Francis Adams famous characterize
ton. The Post concludes in these
words:
Men invoke the power of congress
to increase their profits, and mulct
their fellows with utter unconscious
ness of the disgusting spectacle they
exhibit. Such has been the demoraliz-
ing effect of two generations of protec-
ton! Ordinary decency, natural
shame, have been destroyed. Dele
gate after delegate has asked for du-
ties which, as cross-eXamination has
shown, are practically prohibitive. Do
these men want a complete monopoly?
Assuredly Do they care nothing for
the public revenue? oh, tax some
thing else for that; what we want is a
kind Of royal patent to compel our fell
low-citizens to pay two prices for all
of our product they buy. The protec-
tive spirit is thus doing it's perfect
work. 1t is setting one class to prey
upon another. 1t is displacing a true
national sentiment by log-rolling
combination of special interests. 1t is
turning law into injustice. and max
ing what should be the highest express
sion of impartiality and equity, take
on the form of gross favoritism. These
are the feet of clay of the great idol
which the protectionists have set up.

finished grading and were returning.
From the story of the pierced noun
tains and from George Gregory Alfred
had proved Gov. Stanfords prediction
about the record of the road.' 1t had
told him more than words or pages Of
written details.
Gregory looked at his watch and up
and down the line of the grading
sharply. The noon hour had almost
passed. Il guess you can find your
way back alone. I'm needed here"
aren't you going back-going
somewhere for dinner, Mr.. Gregory"
NO. l guess my stomach's as fast
proof as yours" Already his alert
eye was elsewhere, and Alfred knew
himself dismissed.
The superintendent snapped to his
watch cover, regardless of the spring.

called. and dashed off toward the of
feNding foreman. AS Alfred passed

word panorama, eXpressible only in
dashes and stars.
Muscle sore, Alfred alighted from his
steaming bronco at the depot only five
minutes before two. No time for Stel-
la unless he stayed over night. Should
he do it? Indeed, ought he not to re-
main to see with his own eyes how
she was circumstanced in this rough
town? He remembered his promise to

Cannon'S Attitude,

Whether there will be any lowering
of duties that will benefit the people
will depend upon the action of such
men as La Toilette of Wisconsin,
Cummins of Iowa, and other pro-
fessed reformers on the Republican
side of the senate. If they vote with
the Democrats for lower duties where
duties can safely be reduced there
may be some reductions. But Speak
er Cannon is not holding out any
promises, and the platform of his
party does not require that he should.

NOW FOR CONGRESS
IMPORTANT WORK BEFORE LAW.
MAKING BODY.
Republican Majority Has Opportunity
to Redeem Promises Made to
the Voters During the Presi-
Dental Election.

With an increased majority in con-
gress there is nothing in the way of
carrying out any policy Judge Taft
may desire.
The working man has right to ex-
pect plenty Of work and plenty of pay
The railroads which declared they
were delaying improvements for fear
Bryan would be elected have no
further excuse. The manufacturers
who predicted prosperity under Re
publican regime owe it to their several
communities and to the country at
large to re-establish that confidence
which has been lacking since October,
1907
On the other hand, Judge Tafts con-
servatism was so strongly featured
during the campaign that the people
look to him, with a solid Republican
congress behind him, for reduction of
extravaganza, and a fair deal for the
taxpayer, who must carry the burden.
A Republican congress can give us
full information as to who stole that
SIS, 000,0 900 in the Panama deal, and
force the offenders to return their
plumber.
A Republican congress can prevent
the appointment of 5000 civil service
employees to draw $65, 100000 a year
from the public pocket, and see that
naval and military expenditures do not
grow five times as fast as the popula-
ton, which has been the case under
Roosevelt.
A Republican congress can amend
the tariff so that the consumer in
America no longer pays more for
American-made goods than the con
sumner in Russia or China.
1t can curb the trusts and stop the
railroads from favoring monopoly with
rebates at the expense of the small
dealer.
A Republican congress can insure
healthy competition in trade, so that
small manufacturing communities will
become active. In Colorado, for in
stance. Is smelters have been ruined
by the smelling trust, which raised
prices higher than ever as soon as
that competition was destroyed. Mine
owners and miners want those plants
to be reOpened. Congress can reopen
them.
A Republican congress can stop fed
eral usurpation and preserve due bal
ance between state sovereignty and
federal supremacy. 1t can put an end
to bureaucratic administrative rulings.
and preserve to the people the SUI
preme authority which is their right.
The Republican majority can pre-
vent the railroads robbing the people
of more than So 900 900 year by over
taxing the post office for carrying the
mails 1t can give postal employees
human freedom of action, and extend
them decent consideration in the mat
ter of pay and hours of labor.
A Republican congress can ter
inmate the vicious practice of govern
ment by injunction, and enact proper
laws for the protection of the working
man
