ing, no belching OF undigested

Still Trying to Fool the People

Announcement of cut Of 10 to
Is per cent. in the wages of $780,
900 employees of the steel trust, to
take effect May /, was accompanied
by the statement that the cut is
made on account of proposed re-
ductlon of the tariff"
How recklessly the bamboozlers
go on with their game of fooling
the people. For the people are
not EXP ected to remember that on
ly few weeks ago, before CON
gress assembled in special session
to "reyise' the tariff, the news
papers printed dispatches with
naring headlines announcing a big
cut in the price of steel. 1t was
predicted at the time that cut
prices would be followed by cut
wages.
Those who have sufficient brain
capacity to remember anything
six weeks will remember that the
forecasted cut in wages was based
at the time on the cut in market
prices Now it Is the proposed
reduction of tariff" that is trotted
out for bogey service in the raid
upon wages.
Bnt suppose we take this new
excuse for what it pretends to be
worth and see whether it is even
plausible.
In the campaign last fall Mr..
Taft had the active support of the
steel trust. The magnates of the
steel trust knew as we'll last fall as
they do now what Mr.. Taft's atti-
tude on the tariff was to be. 1t
didn't disturb them then and l.
doesn't worry them now. 1t
merely gives them another pre-
text for doing what they knew
when they were backing Mr.. Taft
last fall they would do after he be-
came president.
Let those who like to be fooled
get az much consolation out of the
latest deception ms they can, for
they sorely need consolation of
some kind.

her to get in and take the bundle too.
she shook her head, and by JOve, she

And as he stood there, his face
transfgured, | grssped in moment
the meaning Of the whole thing ani
the understanding struck like blow
at my heart and knew how dear the
welfare of this boy was to me. Some
how. Vincent represents to me the
things | might have been. and am not,
the things might have won, and
have lost; he represents the first flush
of my own youth. And now that |
had wasted those opportunities TO lead
the selfish existence of the average
bachelor, | found a certain joy in
again experiencing those first throbs
person and life OF yong Vincent.
AS he stood before me, glowing with
feeling felt that it was for me to
wipe that look from his face, cruel as
it seemed, and my anger at the wom-
an who had so deceived the boy by
withholding from him the knowledge
that she was married helped me to do
the deed.

mean--do | gather from your rawlings
that you honestly-er-care for this
person." had risen TO my feet. and
as | spoke Vincents whole express

Your inference is perfectly cor
rect be said. Ills face went white and
there was war in his tone, for he
perceived that | meant trouble.
The necessity OF saving the boy |
loved from the consequences OF his
own folly took possession OF me, and
| was full Of rage at Vincent and at
that conscienceless woman in the gray
gown who had entrapped him.
You fool" | said, putting my face
close to his square, cleft chin, why do
you throw away your chance in life
like that? What do you want to let
yourself get entanged with an ad-
yenturess for? Don't YOU know the
wOman's married? She confessed TO
having one husband; she may have a
dozen, for all know"
The inevitable happened, for Vim
cent, with halfarticulate cry like
a wild animal, raised his clenched fist
and struck at me. Fortunately for us
both, he struck wildly in his anger and
| caught the blow on my arm.
You liar!" he shouted, "oh, you
liar." and in rage that shook him
from head to foot he rushed from the
room and slammed the door.

after him 10 think that matters had
come TO such pass between Vincent
and myself. Although no man can
hear himself called liar, even by

CLEAR RIVER CHANNEL
WORK is TO BE DONE BY A GOV
EMINENT BOAT.
Major Richie Will At Once Determine
How Far the Minnesota Can Be
Made Navigable.

ST. Paul, May l9.-Clearing the Min
nesota river channel for navigation will
be undertaken by the government snag
boat, David Upton, which has reached
St. Paul. The work will be under di-
rection of Major Richie of the engi-
neering corps, who comes from Rock
Island. He will endeavor to determine
how far the Minnesota may be made
navigable for vessels of ordinary draft.
Nothing of the kind has been attempt
ed for twenty five years, and never be-
fore by a government boat. 1t was
done formerly under contract.
Similar work is to be done in the
st. CroiX. The government engineers
are dubious about working in these
smaller streams with vessel the size
of the David Upton, which is pow
erful sidewheel steamer, fitted with
heavy machinery for pulling snags.
They may not be able to get much
higher than Shakopee on the Mime
sofa. Before going up the Mime
sofa the David Upton will finish clear
ing the Mississippi channel up to the
Soldiers Home landing.
