The Argus Daily Short Story
The Temple Belly Clarissa Mackie.

The red light came from the sane
tuary lamp hanging within the tiny
building 1t tinged the gray rocks
with strange. unearthly coloring and
gave to the white walls of the temple
delicate rosiness.
My knife ripped a hole in the can
vas sack, and then. staggering because
of its great weight, 1 lifted the gold
and poured the precious Jumps into
the aims basin.
AS the last lump of ore clanked into
the basin the clearness in my head
seemed to snap as if some one had
struck me a sharp blow. 1 felt my
self sinking sinking to the marble
floor. 1t seemed years before 1 felt
it's cooling touch on my cheek, and
then all was dark.
When 1 awoke stars were shining
out of a black sky. and 1 heard a
hoarse whinny from the burro near
by. 1 was lying on my back, and my
temples throbbed duly.
The white temple had disappeared.
My eager search among the rocks was
unavailing
Thus 1 found myself beggar at the
gate of Death valley.
1 knew that Furnace Creek ranch
was somewhere-it must be near. and
without food and with only a small
canteen of water l set forth on q
journey that l knew must end in
death.
The next day I met Hedges. He
was riding slowly toward me with
eyes fixed on the ground. Behind him
trailed a pack mule. His bag of ore
had disappeared.
"Medfordr' he almost sobbed as !
trudged painfully into view. He slip
ped from his mule and ran toward me
with outstretched hands. What is
the matter. old man? Why didn't you
follow me that night? ! had TO go.

1 stared at him from hopeless eyes.

Late in the afternoon when the sun
was drawing down behind the dark
range Hedges told his story:

Eighteen countries, among them the
United States, are represented in the
fifth quinquenniaI convention of the In
ternational Ornithological congress, in
session in Berlin. The problem of pre-
venting the determination of birds. the
bodies, wings or plumage of which is
employed for millinery purposes, is
one of the most important matters to
be considered by the congress. The
American representative from the na-
tional association of Audubon socie-
ties has been instructed to submit to
the congress a plan for uniform protec-
ton against the army of poachers that
scour the earth to supply the millin-
cry markets with plumage of billions
of birds.
An effort will be made TO bring about
an agreement between Canada, the
United States, and Mexico, for the pro
lection of the migratory birds of the

tions a system of education. legisla-
tive assembly, Identification of the
city of Manila, and the construction
of roads and highways all over the
islands. At the same time he protests
against this benevolent government in
the name of the Filipinos, quoting the
words of Daniel Webster that no
matter how. easy may be the yoke OF
power, if it is not imposed by the voice
of his own nation the man will not
and means not 10 be happy under its
burden" While applauding much thai
is done by this government, the COM
missioner declares that it is imposing
upon the Filipinos AN unnecessary
burden of taxation and that the many
improvements have come out of this
taxation. He agrees fully with Repre-
sentative Martin of Colorado that the
recent sales of large tracts of land to
corporations is an iniquIJy. The COM
missioner concluded by declaring that
the only hope of the -Filipinos is in
their independence, and by expressing
the belief that the congress of the
United States will soon relieve them
of the yoke of colonial servftude.
There is, on the other hand, too
much reason for the opinion that most
of this eloquent plea for liberty and
independence fell on dull ears, and
that so far as the republican party is
concerned the realization of the hopes
of the Filipinos is as remote as ever.

RAILROAD RATES
LIKELY TO BECOME
A POLITICAL ISSUE

roads. They are the arteries of the
nations commerce, and no one wishes
to see them hampered unnecessarily.
The people are also DESTROYS that the
railroads shall make a reasonable,
even generous profit on capital actu-
ally invested.
Abuse Taxing Power.
On the other hand, however, IL is
beginning to be realized that railroad
corporations should occupy a some
what different footing from manufac-
turing and mercantile corporations.
The railroads are to a considerable
extent, national highways. They have
a taxing power which is being abused
and which, If the railroads persist in
taking advantage of the helplessness
OF the ultimate consumer, must ulti-
mately be curbed in some way. While
the public is willing to have railroad
investors make a fair profit on CAPT
tai invested, discomfort is being ex-
pressed because the railroads are fore
ing the people to pay millions of dol
lars annually as interest on alleged
investments that exist only in imagin-
alton and are represented by nothing
more material than watered stock.
The government is helpless because
it can not say when a rate is exces-
sive. The government does not know
the actual physical value of a single
railroad in the country, and therefore
the interstate commerce commission
can do little more than guess as to
whether a rate is excessive or not.
Roosevelt urged the taking of a physi-
cal valuation of the railroads time and
again, but his recommendations were
in vain.
No Power to stop.
Senator La Toilette, in his recent
speech on the railroad bill, also urged
a physical valuation as a means of
stopping over-capitalization. He also
pointed out, from figures furnished by
the interstate commerce commission.
some of the increased rates on lead
ing commodities. He declared in
many cases no warrant could be found
for the increases. The railroads, he
said, had simply increased rates from
80 TO 60 per cent, without giving any
reason, and no power could stop them.

Where Population Exceeds Food
Supply.

Professor Cyril G.. Hopkins Of the
University of Illinois, in Science: His
tory tells US that Roman agriculture
declined until a bushel of seed brought
only four bushels in the harvest-de-
clined until the high civilization of
the Mediterranean countries passed
into the dark ages which covered the
face of the earth for a thousand years.
until the discovery of a new world
brought new supplies of food, renew
ed prosperity, and new life and light
to western Europe; but the dark ages
still exist for most of our own Aryan
race in Russia and in India, where, as
in everage, day by day, and year by
year. more people are hungry than
live in the United States; where the
average wage of a man is so cents a
month; where famine RACES always,
and where the price of wheat some
times rises to a point where six
months wages of a working man are
required to buy one bushel
This is the condition where the alb
solute needs of the population exceed
the food supply; and just so sure as
the intelligent and influential men and
women of America continue to ignore
the material foundation upon which
national prosperity depends, just so
sure will future dark ages blot out
American civilization.
