fresh attack Of embarrassment ssBut
there are certain little business mat
tiers which have to enter into every

them Two years ago the railroad

with US which was to our mutual adj
vantage, and called to see if it could

Blount sat back in his chair, and the
conciliatory smile disappeared. State

That being the case, when they vote

''Well, as 1 say, such being the case.
we are able to control at least four
and probably five of the legislative
districts in this state. The control is
worth something to your people, and
in the last election that fact was rec

Der company is practically the only
heavy lumber shipper in this region, it
was given preferential rate on its
products, not at ali as quid pro quo,
you understand, but merely in friend
" recognition of our help in the last
election
Really, it was not such a great
thing that was done for US, Mr..
Blount. If you are familiar with lum-
Der rates in this territory you will
know that the special tariff made for
us is all that enables US TO live. With
out it we would go into bankruptcy

Blount had opened his penknife and
was absently sharpening a pencil.
