possess a strength of purpose that will

With a little signing laugh she went
into the house-the quiet house which
she occupied with her servants and
her pets. Her kinsfolk were awaiting
her in another distant country. Sere-
ma was young yet. She was thirty
five, and she was lonely.
For weeks after that September day
the Redbush church was closed for
repairs. Heavy canvas covered the
old Merton pew and protected it from
showers of lime and plaster and later
from the dripping brushes of painters
and decorators.
Little by little the old church took
on a new appearance. Shaky timbers
were strengthened, the great belfry
was repaired and the bell rehung.
Gray paint restored the building to
Quaker-like responsibility. The fur
mace was mended, and the organ was
repaired.
Indoors the warm glow of the cd
red carpet was replaced by sober
brown pile. and the newly vanished
pews were carpeted with the same ma
teriaI Wooden foot rests took the
place of the discarded hassocks. and
polished seats were supplied instead
of the comfortable cushions.
The faint pinks and reds of the old
decoration gave way to sea green walls

very hideous and extremely uncom-

The minister-yas joyful and the con-
gregation was gratifed at the splcndor
of the shabby old church. The COM
mittee on repairs proudly sent in their
report on the Sunday before Thanks
giving day. At the same time the
minister read letter from Daniel
Merton saying that he would gladly
accept their invitation to attend the
special services on Thanksgiving day.
Cold and crisp the day dawned, and
the usual festivities of the day were
pushed forward that none might miss
the services at the church.
There was a rustic of expectation as
the people gathered in the redecorated
edifice. Up in the front pew, on the
right of the aisle. in the old Merton
pew, with it's still gorgeous turkey

The Massachusetts Election.

ST. Louis Republic: Massachu-
sets differs from most of the
otter states in that it elects its
governor every year. Two years ago
the republicans elected him by a plu-
rality of 10000 votes. Last year Va
hey, DEM, and Draper, rep, were the
candidates and Draper won by 10000
In Tuesdays contest between the
same candidates Draper won by only
$3.50.
OF all the elections held on Tues.
day, that in Massachusetts was the
only one in which the tariff and other
national issues were predominant
The democratic state platform as
sailed the Payne-Aldrich tariff and
the aggressions of the federal govern
ment against the rights of the states.
1t favored affirmative action by the
proposed income-tax amendment. The
republican platform straddled on the
income tax and stood pat on the tariff
The national issues presented by
the democratic platform were pressed
hard by the candidate and kept to the
front all through the campaign. The
result is that the republican plurality
is only about one-twelfth of what 1t
was two years ago and about one
seventh Of what it was last year.
Thus the first and only election
fought out mainly on the national is
sues since the Payne-Aldrich. tariff
was enacted results in narrow escape
from defeat by the party responsible
for it. The result comes very near
being rebuke by the rock-ribbed re-
publican state to President Taft and
Speaker Cannon for their war upon
the western tariff insurgents.
The check which the republicans
have suffered in Massachusetts bright
ems the democratic skies for next
year One of the strongholds of the
republican party strikes at the new
tariff before its worst effects are
known. These will begin to appear
only in April, when the maximum of
25 per cent ad valorem is added TO the
exorbitant rates named in the bill.
Be 1t remembered that this maximum
is not aimed at unfriendly nations,
but against all nations, and can be
RENTED in favor of any one Of them
only by an Affirmative act Of the pres
ident. In many instances it will
amount to very much more than 20
per cent of the Payne-Aldrich rates.
ThE- message which Massachusetts
senas the national democracy bids 1t
fight next years battles aggressiveiy
on the old traditional lines, for that
way victory lies.

Scott. why did 1 sign that bill?
Well, because it was the bill of the
republican party. The tariff bill has
been greatly misrepresented. Even
some of the republican papers have
not been guiltless. I marvel how the
average American citizen can be
fooled like he is being fooled. Why,
all You have TO do is to read the bill,
like 1 did, and you will see for your
self that the revision was downward.
That is why 1 voted for the Payne
AIdrich bill, Because 1t was an abso-
Lutte fulfllment Of the republican cam
paign promise. How can anyone
doubt it? President William Howard
Taft las given his word that the re-
vision was downward, and for any cf
you to take the position it was not
downward is to challenge the veracity
of the president of the United States;

Mr.. Scott said that he considered

>PerhRps this is an answer to the
query: Mr. Scott is ambitious BY
voting as Speaker Cannon directs him,
he sees a possible chance of advanc-
ing himself. Mr. Cannon has already
made Representative Scott chairman

is a nice berth IN itself. And by

And Boston! That great and cul-
tnred city voted 8 to / Tuesday In
favor Of asking the state Legislature
for new charter on the Des Moines
plan of government by commission.
Do you suppose that the legislature
will heed the demands of the people of
Massachusetts cities?
Not If that legislature is made up of
Ericksons and political tools who take
orders from bosses" to kill bills in
committees as the commission form
bill was killed in the house committee
of the Illinois legislature.
Massachusetts will fall into line with
Iowa and Kansas and Washington and
Texas and other states which have
given their cities right to vote upon
such vital matter of public policy
as the form of government desired.
This reform has as yet been spurned
by the Illinois Legislature 1t is oppos-
ed by the gangs, condemned by the
bosses" and ridiculed by the wire
pullers.
The more the reason, obviously, that
Illinois should pass an enabling act
permitting cities which SO desire to
vote upon this great issue.
