the moment of his collision with adverse lor'-

millionaire in current fiction is a Determined
fighter for sound principles in business ana poi

the miIlionaire's daughter. Mr.. White VIII nave
nothing to do with that easy expedient- lie Is
no more than human, and therefore he assigns
to the lover Of Barclays daughter the painful
task of supplying the evidence on which the
rich man is indicted-whereat we smile, good
naturedIy. But this is detail. The righteous
enemy in this case is not personifed. Mr. White
confronts Barclay not with a personal critic
though that intruder Is duly given his part to
play-but with a national force. The situation
at this stage Of the narrative is thus exposed:
Barclay was beginning TO feel upon him, night
and day, the crushing Welght or popular scorIl.
He called the idea envy, but IL was not envy. IL
the idea working in the world, and the weight
of the scorn was beginning to crumple his soul;
for this idea that the people We're thinking was
finding its way into the newspapers, magazines and
books They were beginning to question the divine
right of weaIth-an idea that Barclay could not
comprehend even vaguely The term honest wealth.
which creeping into respectable periodicals
was exceedingly annoying TO him For the very
presence of the seemed to indicate that there
was such a thing as dishonest WeaIth-ah obvious
abSurdty: and when he addressed the students Of
lhe southwestern niveIslIg at ILtLr I f5
ment exercises IN 1902 his address attracted coIS
cradle attention because II deplored the modern
tendency in high places toward socialism ana
warned the students that a nauon OF lcoiocldsls
would perish from the earth. But the people went
questioning
In the early part of 1908 Barclay astounded at
the action of a score Of his Senators and nearly a
hundred of his Congressman, who voted for a ma
tionaI law prohibiting the giving or railroad re-
hates. He assured by all Of them that II was
done TO satisfy temporary agitation. but the fact
that they voted for the law at all as he explained
10 Senator MytCn at some length and with some
asperity was a breach of faith with interests in
American politics which may not safely be lg-
nored.' And. what's more he added angrliY,
this is personal insult TO me That law hits my
Door Strip
The quotation suggests. perhaps, one more
tract disguised as q novel but while there is no
installing the moral of this book. it would be
unjust to classify IL "a story with purpose"
It is much more than that. Barclay as a type Of
unscrupulous money getting has abundant con-
spicuity. but the author takes account of great
deal else and makes his appeal broader
grounds It is a very winning appeal, for If
Nr White is willing to entertain he is also keen
upon touching the hearts OF his readers, and
there. we believe, he Will be widely successful

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT BOOKS FOUND CORRECT

Submitting his report Co Governor Conner on the examination of the books of the Department of Agriculture. H. Y. Brooke. Assistant Examiner of Pub lie Accounts. shows that all matters are correct. The reports also contain a suggestion as to new system of tag ging fertilizer and other articles. which places all perpetrators of fraud or graft under this system under the ju- risdiction of the Federal auth critics.
 Examiner Brooke submitted his sug- GeStion as follows:
 The tag system in vogue represents an open invitation for interruptions persons to engage in graft. It Is an impossibility to detect or punish fraud if the same is perpetrated by the sell ing of tags. The printing contractor is outside the Jurisdiction of the SiSte courts, and if he were not, there Is no way to identify tags for the purpose of prosecution. There is a way to overcome this obstacle. viz.:
 ITO have tag design executed and filed in the Federal patent office in Washington, and then have tho tags numbered consecutively. By this plan the fertilizer inspectors. when visiting the various plants, could make reports as to the serial number of the tags be- ing used In each factory. The plan would place the printers and other au- thorities under the Federal statutes The numbering would enable examin- CTS to have some base from which to check"
 The report of the receipts and diA- burgements follows:

 Discovering the fire pr. Winters raised window to give the alarm . The rush of air caused an explosion throughout the house, and 1t was with diffioulty that the family escaped In cineration, two little children being snatched from bed after the mosquito net was completely burned around them.

 The dwelling was owned by g. E. Cruthirds and was worth about Sl,o00' with only $500 insurance.
 There is no clue to the originstors of the crime, and 1t is generally be- Iieyed to have been the act of dts- appointed burglars who were routed off the place the night before.

PROBABLY GET
 MASONIC HOME Site Committee lnspects Several Locations. THE FINAL DECISION TODAY Canvassing Committee of Two
 Lodges Confident. Although Full sum sf s1oyo0o Has Not Been Collected, Site Committee is
 Guaranteed Fall Amount by
 Montgomery Lodges.

Montgomery will in all probability be the choice of the Masons for the Masonic Home. The canyassing com mtttee of the two Montgomery Lodges reported to the Chairman of the Site Committee yesterday morning. that the full e10,000 for the location of the home would be guaranteed by the two local lodges.
 Although the Committee on the se- lection of the site was very busy yes- terday afternoon inspecting several propositions, no decision was rendered last night, the committee announcing that they would remain in session all of today.
 MT. vandiver said yesterday that while there remained something like $a.5oo to be raised by the Subscription Committee of the two lodges in Mont gomery, the committee on selection of site had been given the guarantee of tie Soliciting Committee that the full sum of s10,000 would be available.
 During the two days which were al- lotted to Montgomery to meet the re- Quirements of the Site Commi ttee, pledges have been secured from both Masons and non-Masons to the extent of s6,500. The time was extremely short In which to canvass the city, but having raised more than half of the re- A&hSA @thVdhe bWo 9&tos tnB Soliciting Committee felt confident enough to guarantee the whole amount.
 The only possible hitch which may be encountered Tn the location of the home in Montgomery is the selection of c suitable site. There are a mum . Der of different propositions being of. fered to the committee, and yesterday morning and afternoon the committee was whirled over the city in automo- biles to the various sites offered.
 The committee met last night in the Masonic Temple, but were unable to reach any final agreement. It was stated that the committee would hold another session this morning. and would again inspect some of the pieces of property offered for the home. II Is expected that the decision of the committee will be made by noon to- day. although 1t Is hinted that the de- cision will not be announced until nightfall. If then.

PR0HI LAW Is VALID
CHANCERY COURT IN TENNEssEM
 GIVES OPINION.
Manufacturers May Ship Their Product Outside the State in Acc0rd- ance With Interstate Cen-
 meEee Act.

Chattanooga, Tenn. Sept. 3.--The act of the last Legislature of Tennessee, prohibiting wholesale as well as re- tail sales of liquor in the State of Ten nessee was upheld in all it's provisions, except as regards sales for shipment outside the State. in an opinion hand ed down at noon today in Chancery Court by Chancellor T. M. Mcconnell.
 This Is the first decision reached by any court in Tennessee as to the con- stitutionality of the Statewide prohi- bftion law which became effective July 1.
 The court holds that interstate com merce laws take precedence over State laws in the matter of shipments of liquor outside the State. This decision was in test case brought by J. w. Kelly and Co., distillers and wholesale liquor dealers of Chattanooga, who sought an injunction against the Sher- in of the county and other officers from interference with sales and shipments of liquor in wholesale quantities..
 The injunction was denied in all phases except as regards interstate shipments.
 The case will doubtless be taken to the State Supreme Court immediat tely by both sides to get final decision this fall as the Supreme Court con. venes at Knoxville this month.
