lie slouched along the edge of the
wharf to where the Sally Ann, a trim
little steam schooner lay.
Dirty ragged. with matted hair and
beard, this broken specimen of hui
manity seemed to have reached the
last stages OF decay and cared for
naught However, II one looked sharp.
the face was bronzed and scanned pos
sibly from long exposure TO the bitter
elements Of the briny deep, as the
clothes were sea togs beyond doubt,
though in a sad state oh dilapidation.
This seafaring wreck had long watched
the loading of the Sally Ann from a
distance, and in his watery, red.
trimmed eyes. somber glow would
now and then burn at the sight of a
commanding figure moving with loud
imprecations and vicious blows among
the motley crew. Paxon & Co. could
indeed have found no better leader for
their men than Winterson. the burly
first mate of the Sally Ann, man who
was known and feared for his brutality
Wy all who tramped the waterfront
Not until the work of loading was
finished, and Winterson. the stump Of
battered pipe protruding from be-
tween cllnched teeth. lolled over the
rail did the wreck approach. Slouch-
ing along the edge of the wharf, he
paused and gazed up into the gnarled
bearded countenance of the mate. his
watery eyes glowing strangely. Win.
terson regarded the battered figure
with contemptuous leer. and then
removing the plps from his mouth,
spat insolently upon the tattered
things that served as shoes.

shifting his position on the rail. Am

me out of countenance, or do you

You're short on hands" returned
the other in a steady voice, the smol.

AGAINST TARIFF TAX
ON GOOD ROAD MAKING.

Work For Better Highways Would Be
Halted by Concession to cslifornia's
Demand For Duty on Asphalt.
Protesting against the proposal to
increase the tariff on asphalt. the Chi
cago Tribune, one OF the leading Re
publican papers Of the country, says:
"The California producers Of asphalt
ask that the duties on the competing
asphalt OF Trinidad and Venezuela be
more than doubled. They say that
they. who have to pay railroad freight
rates across the continent, cannot com
pete in the east with the foreign prod
uct, which is cheaply carried by water.
This will not be disputed, but It does
not follow that eastern cities should
be made to pay more for their pave
ments In order 70 make wider and
better market for one Of the minor
products OF distant state. They
ought not TO be mulcted because the
freight on ton Of Trinidad asphalt is
81 and a ton of the California product
Sill.
"In spite OF the alleged insuficiency
Of the present duty the California pro-
ducers are doing fairly well. Their
output in 1907 was 9s,O0O tons, while
100000 were imported. They have a
practical monopoly in several states
They have an equal chance with their
competitors I'm others They ought,
under the circumstances. TO be salts
fed with that. They should turn their
attention TO the lowering of freight
rates rather than to the raising of du-
ties. That would be method Of
widening their market which would
hurt nobody.
"The general superiority of asphalt
for paving purposes is admitted. Moth
ing but the cost stands in the way Of
its almost universal USE Municipali.
ties and property owners should not
be forced through legislation that
would add to the cost OF asphalt to
put up with less desirable pavements.
Those payements would be likely TO
cost them little more than they do
now If the cost Of paving with asphalt
were Increased.
"The national government should do
nothing through its tariff legislation to
hurt the cause OF good roads and good
pavements. Many counties in many
states are trying to improve their roads
with asphaltic compounds. They should
not be discouraged 10y the imposition
Of higher duties on asphalt at the re-
quest Of some California producers.

free list as a concession to the inter.

GOVERNOR STUBS
MUST STAY AWAY

Topeka Kas, December 1.-Governor
Stubs will not be allowed to attend a
dinner to be given at the Topeka club
tomorrow night in honor of Chief Justice
Johnston of the Kansas supreme court.
This Is because Governor Stubs, while
q member of the exclusive club, made
q losing fight to compel it to abolish
the liquor locker system and later re-
signed his membership.
'.Oh, l guess I'll live through it, said
the governor tonight when informed that
the club directors had ordered that he
stay away from the dinner. II am right,
however, in ordering the prohibition law
enforced and intend to stay by It. The
organization of club really means a
rich mans saloon. II our law is not
strong enough TO prevent these wealthy
clubs from handling liquor the legisla-
ture should make it strong enough, and
l am going to make such a recommends
ton next session
The governor had accepted an invita-
ton to make a speech at the dinner To-
day the directors ordered the promoters
of the dinner to withdraw the invita-
ton.
THE governor has stated he could not
afford to be member of an organiza-
ton that is violating the prohibition
law said one of the directors, and so
we decided we did not want him at the
club for the Johnston dinner"
The dinner will be given in honor of
the completion of Justice Johnston s
twenty-fifth year on the supreme court
bench.
