mediums outfit. She was fraud, but
he liked her-yes, pitied her-and he
felt inclined to excuse her in so far as
he could For the kiss which he had
given her he felt no regreai 1t WAS
hers, in all innocence, for what of
good she might have found in it.
The minutes dragged by. He tb ght
| of the precious documents, safe in the
inside pocket of his coat. What they
were, he did not try to determine, but
it was plain that they must be of in
ternational Importance. The talk of
ships and Alcatrante's references to
commissions had puzzled him. But
suddenly came to his mind the news
paper rumors that Japan was secretly
adding vessels to her navy through the
agency of a South American republic
which was having cruisers and battle
ships built in Europe, to turn them
over at their completion, to the Japa-
nese. There was, as yet, no interna-
tional proof of this policy, for none of
the ships had been completed, but the
South American country was certainly
quite out of proportion to her position
among the powers.
How came the girl to be involved in
this mix-up of nations? Through her
father, of course-but who was he? A
concessiOnaire? Her courage and de-
termination, employed against shrewd
men, was as notable as the beauty of
her face and mind, for she was like a
queen in her assured comprehension.
How it quickened his heart to think
of her! The poor, faded medium, with
the smolder of old flames in her eyes,
with the records of hard experience
written on her face, was child in
stature beside the girl-a child with
| warnings that could never be salts
| fed.
Well, the girl had doubted him. He
could not wonder at that, for the facts
| were all against him, and she had
known him only few hours. Yet he
had hoped-he had believed-that she
would know the truth and the devotion
in him without further evidence. Per
haps he had expected too much from
her noble insight. After all-and that
was part of the loneliness of her-she
was very human girl.
The panel swung open, and Madam
Ala stood looking down at him. She
spoke in an undertone.
"The Japs are still watching. Arime
is sitting on the fire escape by his
window, and I can hear the other fel
low moving around in the hall outside
my door. l think they're on to your
being here"
Orme thought for minute. Tive got

mind telling you that there are papers
that must be delivered before twelve
o'clock tonight"
Can I take them for you?"
81 don't know where to tell you tt
take them"
She sighed 81 guess you don't trust
| me-"
Trust you? Of course, do. But the
truth is, Madam Ala, that it is going
| to need hard work on my part to find
the person to whom the papers belong
I don't even know his name" Secretly
he condemned himself now, because he
had not overcome his scruples and
looked at the address on the envelope
while he had the chance.
Again she sighed. WELL" she said,
"of course, it's beyond me. Do you
do you mind my knowing your name?''
Pardon me" he said Il didn't rea-
lie that you didn't know it already.
My name is Robert Orme."

TANNING Bad Luck.

Eben, sis Iible to git it so tame dat

a stand -patter. He signed the Payne Aldrch
bill, apoogetically. He admitted that it did
not come up to promise. Then, why approve
it?
Soon afterward, he dropped the tone of dep
recation, and became the most extravaganza
eulogist of the new law, which was adding
so enormously to the cost of living.
Then came the avalanche of the fall cleo
tons. A more emphatic and overwhelming
rebuke has seldom been given to an admins
tration.
For that reason, or some other, the Presi-
dent tackled again. He negotiated with Can
ada Free-Trade treaty; and began to make
speeches on the same line. But when Con-
gress had ratified his Reciprocity compact,
he suddenly went to the opposite extreme.
If Taft's treaty with Canada is right, the
Farmers Free-List bill was right. So was
the bill to reform the wooden tariff schedule
(which Taft himself had publicly de-
scribed as ''indefensible"
Having said that it could not be defended,
he showed how it could be most effectually
protected. BY his veto of the Farmers Free
List bill" and of the amendment to the wool

President Taft's Predfcanne1lt L z z.1.4

IT is announced that Mr.. Taft will 60 into
complete retirement for two weeks. He
will be lost to view. He will eliminate him
self altogether, for whole fortnight.
What pity he didn't think of this two
years ago, and get out for two years, instead
of two weeks! It would have been better for
him. and for the country. Without being per-
sonally bad man, he has done an infinite
amount of harm.
Had he not been foiled, he would have de-
livered Alaska to the Morgan-Guggenhei
syndicate.
He did have free hand in the Phillip
pines; and, through the aid of Wickersham,
the Sugar Trust has grabbed the best planta-
lions in the Islands. Somebody has winked
at the inactivity of the Sugar Trust prosecu-
tions; and somebody is therefore to blame for
the Trusts audacity in advancing the price of
sugar. Who is that somebody, if not Attorney
General Wickersham, whose law partner holds
the dual position of brother to the President
and attorney for the Sugar Trust?
Then, see how Mr.. Taft has begged up on
the tariff In the campaign, he was a down
ward revisionist After the election, he was
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-08-31

tariff, he demonstrated his own inconsistency
and the folly Of placing any dependence upon
his plighted word.
His disingenious plea is, that we must await
the findings of the Tariff Board There is
no law for his alleged Board; and it is against
the law to delegate legislative functions to
any board" whatsoever.
If Congress must not give the people relief
until the lame-duck Board" says the word,
why was not the Reciprocity bill kept waiting
for the 0. X. of the Board?
That Board is composed of discredited pol
iticians, whom the people have repudiated.
Is it likely that these disgruntled, disappoint-
ed and repudiated politicians will be in SYM
pathy with the people?
To give symmetry to his errors and his
troubles, the President has seen fit to heartily
indorse the Central Bank scheme of that old
Rhode Island intriguer, Aldrich. That fills
the bill of Taftian blunders.
My opinion is, that the stand-p Republic
cans the plundering Trusts, and the blunder-
ing President are going to find themselves in
wreck, next year. tr,t1:ov....

Missions

eight times as much as a dollar will buy in
this country.
With this preliminary explanation let us
turn to The Christian, Standard, and look for
its reply to Mr.. Nicholson's question. Here
it is:
"No; those representations are not true. A
missionary laboring, say under the Foreign
Christian Missionary Society, would receive
5000 year. Husband and wife, both of
whom are missionaries, would receive $1,000
year, with an allowance of $500 year for
each of their children. We regret that this
eminent Georgian feels called to combat
so many things which, to be consistent, he
should commend. We wonder why his fur got
rubbed up, on this question:"
First of all, [ must express my appreciation
of the respectful terms in which allusion is
made to me- Dear Doctor Lovett should sit
up and take notice Bell & Graham, of The
I1odeu, and some others, will want to rub their
eyes when they see religious paper of nat
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-08-31

ional circulation referring to me, as 'this en-
inent Georgian"
Begorry Shouldn't wonder if I got to be
''real respectable" after bit.
But, now to come to business: can't YOU see
that the Standard practically proves that it
would have endorsed my statement, if Mr.
Nicholson had written average missionary
tana5Iy' instead of average salary?"
According to The Standards the Missionary
Society which it selected, pays the married
couple $1,000 year, with $500 more for each
child. How long would it take a missionary
and his wife to run their income UP to $3.50
a year, even under the society which the
STANDARD picked out? Five children, under
those extremely encouraging circumstances,
would not be an unusual number.
Where else are preachers paid bounties on
their offspring? Who, besides the foreign
missionary IS thus stimulated to "mutiply
and replenlsh?" How many wives of preach
ers, IN this country, are paid $500 year, for
plous work; and 500 additional, per year,
for each child in the household?
You'll notice that the Standard did not I'M
dertake to answer the last two questions of Mr..
Nicholson. Why?
Because the average salary paid to Ameri-
can preachers is only 1866 year-with no
extra allowance made for wife and children.
The average American preacher has not got
what every foreign missionary eniOys-One
home for winter and another for summer.
with numerous domestic servants to do all the
household drudgery; and with q regular an
1seea1 vocotiom Of three months, ON FULL
PAY.
No wonder so many of our pulpit are emp
ty. No wonder SO many "soul- savers' are
crowding into the foreign fields, where easy
work and fancy salaries are the attractions

nERE'S a letter that was written to The
4 Christian Standard, of Cincinnati:


- christian Standard, of Cincinnati:
: "Iom Watson, the man who is doing so
much harm to the missionary cause in Georgia,
stated In speech near here yesterday that the
Baptist church (the church he is identified
with was paying their missionaries on the
foreign field an average Of $3.50 salary and
that the other religious bodies were paying
about what the Baptists WERE He also said
that the missionaries were paid better and
were treated better than our home preachers,
and were not doing the amount of work done
by our home preachers. Are these statements
true
(Signed) J. R. NICHOLSON, Maxeys Ga.
Mr. Nicholson did not get me down quite
right. My statement was that the average
missionary fanoizy drew $3.50 year, from
our Board whose headquarters are in Rich
mond, Virginia
poor, perishing heather, our Board swipes
$31 900 a year, for themselves! By what
rightO
According to statement which Dr. Will
bingham, of the Board, published in The IN
dea, some months ago, the Board pays $3.50
salary to the male missionary; and the same
amount to the female missionary. When they
marry, the couple get $1,000 year. AS child
rem are born to them, 500 additional is added,
for each child When the child reaches it's
18th year the allowance for it is increased to
$3.50.
Thus a comparatively small family draws
$3.50. A missionary couple, blessed with
many sons and daughters have regular gold
mine. One dollar of our money, in China,
India, JAPAN &C., will buy at least six or
