N the May American Magazine Ida
M. Tarbell writes an article ell
Il titled "a Tariff Made City-What
it Does for It's Workmen." She means
Pittsburg, says a writer in La Follette's
and the burning Indignation which she
shows is founded on two facts-tirst,
Pittsburg is a city whose chief indus
tries are builded ON high tarln;
second. a recent investigation shows the
most awful condition of poverty and
overwork among Pittsburg working
men. Miss Tarbell then goes on:
Among the worst illustrations of
these typical conditions are certain
properties owned by the very corpora
lions who are reaping wealth from the
tariff protected products. These bene-
ficiaries of the generosity of the Ameri-
can people, these gentlemen who when
they see the taxation in their interest
threatened hold up the laborer and his
good as a reason for continuing IT,,
what do they say when these condi-
tions are pointed out to them: We
don't want to go into the housing bust
ness We are manufacturers, not real
estate dealers. We may be forced to
build houses in certain new districts
in order to attract and hold labor, but
in an old, settled community let the
laboring man take care of himself. We
don't believe in paternalism.
''They have no more interest in pre-
serving the lives of the men who do the
terrible toll necessary to their wealth
than in giving them decent housing.
For wears the death rate from typhoid
fever in Pittsburg has been the highest
of any city in the civilized world.
Everybody knew it, Everybody knew
why There was no supply, of pure
drinking water. A filtration plant ives

offer to build it-insist that the indus
tries which called the vast army of
labor to Pittsburg should build It? No.

fury we will have from 150000,000 to
200, 900, 900 people. Are we to give no
thought to them? If we go on reck
lessly and wasteful1y converting all our
timber coal, petroleum, and iron ore
into gold, leaving nothing for them,
how are they to live?
A tariff levied upon these great
natural resources is not protective; it
is destructive. 1t should not be levied
for the purpose of checking importa-
lions of lumber, coal, iron, and petro-
leum when wise conservation of the
rapidly diminishing stock we have at
home suggests that we draw from out
side scores and economize in the use
of our own stock as much as possible.
The sadly impaired stock of wood and
carbon left should warn us that when
we eagerly crowd their consumption
because we are greedy for the gold
they will bring to us we are robbing
our children and our children's chill

The courts are beginning to recognize,
as a ground for interference with the
ownarship of privite property, the right
of a state to restrict the owner from
cutting trees on private land when such
restriction is necessary to prevent
droughts and floods, preserve the ma
tural water supply, and prevent the
waste of soil by erosion. For just such
purpose the supreme court of Maine
| has decided
THAT the property rights of the IN
dividual are subordinate to the rights
of the community, and especially that
| the waste of wild timber land derived
originally from the state and it's peo-
pie, and thereby defeating one great
purpose of government may properly
| be prevented by state restrictions.
| And the supreme court of the United

The state, as quasi sovereign and
representative of the interests of the
public, has standing in court to pro-
tect the atmosphere, the water and the

tive of the assent or dissent of the pri-

How utterly inconsistent with this
recognized duty of the state to conserve
natural resources is the proposal that
| the government shall stimulate and en-
courage the cutting and selling of tim
Der and the mining and selling of coal

FABRIC SHOES

The new fabric shoe is one of the
most Attractive of the new footwear.
They are shown in all of the popular
shades of cavenetted cloth, with the
flowers of the same color, but satin
striped.
No more luxurious shoes could be
imagined. The white shoes of the COM
ing summer are to be of linen, canvas
and kid, and many will be very high
boots, although the white-beaded tie
will be popular.
Suede in all colors still holds it's own.
One dainty house slipper in delicate
colors has set at one side bewitch-
ing little bow of matching chiffon.
There are black velvet shoes as well
as black velvet slippers to wear with
the many modish black toilets.

CHILDREN

We know we must be civilized because Of all
the ways
OF killing off the children we've invented in
these days.
We kill EN- off with factories to fill the own
ers' maws--
Protecting infant industries with brutal
tariff laws.
We kill 'em off with patent foods before they're
in their teens.
We kill 'em off in schoolrooms, and in the
Philippines.
We kill 'em off with autos we kill em of
with vice,
We kill 'em off with coddling when beatings
don't suffice.
We kill EN- off with cigarettes; we make them
deaf and dumb,
We vaccinate inoculate, and kill 'em off with
rum.
Can savage nations do as much? Well we
should be surprised!
We rather guess they'll have to wait until
they're civilized Life.

the memory of these exploits, and
told each successive feat louder
and louder.

rWell," he said, very gravely, "all
this was child's play"
{ There was a pause that marked
Hhdson's establishment. Then he
broke out, "Child's play, We lubber!

mutterings of two voices. In vain

into his ear to hear. He could catch
no single word. Yet could tell,
by the very tones OF the speakers
that he dialog was one of mystery

Then there was the bark Sally

ence had taught him that in calm
weather ship ought to be kept
tight. "As they say ashore, a
stitch in time saves nine"
When Hazel came to think of II
all next day, he did not feel quite
so easy as he had done. The inner
skin! But, when Wylie withdrew
his auger, the water squirted in
furiously. He felt it hard to believe
that this keen jet of water could
be caused by small quantity that
had found its way between the
skin Of the ship and her copper, or
her top booting; it seemed rather
to be due to the direct pressure OF
the liquid monster outside.
He went to the captain that
afternoon and first told him what
he had seen, offering no solution
The captain; on that occasion, was
in an amphibious state; neither
wet nor dry; and his reply was
altogether exceptional. He re
ceived the communication with
pompous civility; then swore a
great oath, and said he would put
the mate in irons: "Confound the
lubber! He will be through the
ships bottom"
But, stop q moment" said Mr.
Hazel, 1T Is only fair you should
also hear how he accounts for his
proceeding"
The captain listened attentively
to the explanation, and altered his
tone. "Oh, that is a different mat
ter" said he. you need be under
no alarm, sir; the laundering lub
Der knows what he is about, al
that work"
Mr.. Hazel kept his own eye on
Wylie so constantly that at IL p. m
he saw that worthy go into the
captains cabin with a quart OF
rum.
The coast was clear, the tempta
ton great.
These men then were still de-
ceiving him with a feigned antag
onism. He listened at the keyhole
not without some conjunction
which, however, became less and
less as fragments of the dialoe
reached his ear.
For long time the only speaker
was Hudson, and his discourse ran
upon his own exploits at sea. But
suddenly Wylie's voice broke In
with an unmistakable tone of gu
periority. Delay all that chat, and
listen to me. 1t is time we settled
something. I'll hear what you
have got to say; and then you'll
do what I say. Better keep your
hands off the bottle minute; you

Her delicate nostrils were ex-

The man gave kind Of shudder,
as If cold steel had passed through
his heart. But his fortitude was
great. He said, doggedly, Time

Her throat swelled with viO-
lent convulsion, and she could ut
ter no more for a moment; and
she put her white handkerchief to
her lips, and drew 1t away discol-
ored slightly with blood.
Mr. Hazel turned ashy pale, and
glared at it with horror; he could

ical firmness; but mortal sick
ness struck his heart at the sight
OF her blood.

CHAPTER TX.

CHAPTER TX.
After this, Helen Rolleston and
Mr.. Hazel never sopke. She walked
past him on the deck with cold and
naughty contempt.
One fine night he sat on the
deck, with his back against the
mainmast, in deep melancholy and
listlessness, and fell, at last, into a
dOze, from which he was awakened
by a peculiar sound below.
1t now flashed upon Mr.. Hazel
that this was the very quarter
where he had heard that mysteri-
GUS knocking when the ship was
lying to in the gale.
He put his head through the
scuttle, and peered into dark,
EM,pal place, whose very exist
eE was new to him. 1t was, in
fact, a vacant space between the
cargo and the ships run. This
wooden cavern was very narrow,
but not less than Is feet long. The
candle was at the farther end, and
between 1t and Hazel a man was
working, with his flank turned
toward the spectator.
1t was Joseph Wylie. the mate.
His profile was illuminated by the
candle, and looked CHASTITY. He
had in his hands an auger of enOr-
nous size, and with this he was
drilling a great hole through the
ships side, just below the water
mark; an act, the effect of which
would be to let the sea bodily into
the ship and sink her. with every
soul on board, to the bottom Of the
Pacific ocean.
The auger went in" up to the
haft; then Wylie caught up with
his left hand a wooden plug he
had got ready, jerked the auger
away, caught up hammer and
swiftly inserted the plug.
Rapid as he was, a single jet of
water came squirting viciously in.
But Wylie lost no time; he tapped
the plug smartly with his hammer
several times, and then, lifting a
, mallet with both hands, rained
heavy blows on 1t that drove it in,
and shook the ships side.
Then Hazel found his voice, and
he uttered an ejaculation that
made the mate look around; he
glared at the man who was glaring
at him, and, staggering backward,
trod on the light. and all was dark
ness and dead silence.
Lord, sir" said Wylie, how you
startled me! You should not have
come upon man at his work like
that. We might have had an acct
dent"
What were you doing?' said
Hazel, in voice that quavered in
spite of him.
Repairing the ship. Found a
crack or two in her inner skin"
He CROPPED his way out, and in
! vited Mr.. Hazel into his cabin.
