The wind caught the restaurant
door with bang, and almost swept
1t out Of the girls grasp. Harvey sat
at the nearest table, moody and tired
in every nerve, but he sprang forward
and helped her to close 1t. She laugh
ed up at him, with a murmured word
Of thanks, and he returned to his lone

moved back a chair lnvitingly, and the
girl sank into 1t, facing Harvey.
"Just bring me a real Thanksgiving
dinner, please" said the newcomer,
putting back her veil with a little GEES
ture of relief, and scattering some
snowhakes thereby. Anything, as
long as it's all Thanksgiving fixings,
Oh, and please, do want wishbone."
Harvey was very good, considering.
He hardly looked at her until the
waitress came back and announced
that 1t was very late, dinner was over,
and the last wishbone had been given
to the gentleman.
GulltiIy Harvey glanced at his plat
ter. There 1t was, undeniably-the
wishbone And she wanted 1t. He
lifted the fork invitingly, as soon as
the waitress had gone

She flushed and smiled.
"Oh, no, thanks. 1t was only bit
of foolishness on my part. Tits

Mother always gives 1t to me when
I'm home, too" said Harvey, bright

Please take It. tell you, you take 1t

It up and wen break 1t and wish.
That's fair; isn't it?"
1T really isn't, but If you insist, l

She accepted it doubtfully, and Har-
vey felt lnordinately happy. He had

Socialists Resolutions

Whereas---The theory and pol
icy of the socialists throughout
the civilized world has from the
first been a policy of peace and
opposed to violence this can be
substantiated by the acts of the
Socialists International Bureau in
the prevention of two prospective
wars; the first between Norway
and Sweden, the second between
Germany and France); and where
as--- the bitterness between the
toilers and the protit-takers is be-
coming more intense under the
RULE of GOLD; hence acts of VIC
lence on the part of non-socialist
wage earners and the Strengthening
or GRIPPING of thousands, annu-
ally, by criminal negligence on
the part of transportation compan-
les, mine owners and big manu-
featuring concerns who reject or
have no knowledge of the theory
of socialism:
Therefore be it resolved by the
Socialist Local of Liberal, Kansas,
that we condem the crime of the
McNamaras and deem them wor-
thy of the penalty imposed. Also
we condem the criminal negligence
of ALL corporations who are guilty
of killing and mangling men, wo-
men and children in their greed
for profits. We publicly denounce
the methods used by the chief
counsel for the McNamaras, Clar-
ence barrow, who withheld his
clients plea of guilty for political
reasons and his own pecuniary
gain by misleading fair minded
people to believe in their innocence,
while urging organized labor to
contribute to their defence.
Be it further resolved THAT we
earnestly urge all citizens of Sew
ard county to study the theory of
Socialism as against corrupt capt.
talism. We ask the publication
of these resolutions in both news
papers of Liberal.

AS TO Socialism.
"DEAR SIR: have been close reader of
your brilliant writings for a good many
years L have watched your fight for the
common people with much interest I have
studied carefully your exposure Of Socialism
and Roman Catholicism. There are many So
c1allst publications that come to my home and

say, there IS a mistake somewhere.
Socialists do not advocate anything but JUS

Dec. 9TH, you positively say the McNamaras
are Socialists. Surely, you are ignorant Of
their politics. You certainly would not say
thing so positively, if not. The McNamaras
are Democrats and Roman Catholics. The
Socialists do not hold the Democrats guilty
or responsible because Of the crime of these
men.
The Appeo7 to Reason comes to my home
every Friday, and [ have never missed read
ing single issue, and at no time has the APP

appeal said this: They may be guilty or they
may be innocent but the appeal knows from
experience how hard it is for labor to get

labor unions wanted them to have fair trial.
They did, however, believe them innocent,
which is nothing to their discredit as I can
see. Now [ am neither Socialist nor Suf-
fragist, but like to see fair play and really
don't think you have been fair with the So
clalists
Won't you, Mr.. Watson, with your massive
intellect and big -heartedness that [ have al
ways accorded you, study this matter little
more closely; and admit that YOU have been
mistaken? Yours very respectfully,
Mrs Cora Y. SEARCY.

Besides, as already stated, I am dead
against 1t, unless it can be operated in such a
way as to preserve to the States their absolute
equality. Few people seem to take notice of
the fact that the small state is the equal of the
large one, although in the lower House of
Congress the big state has the more numerous
delegation. No matter what the House may
wish to do, the Senates approval is necessary

The Government itself rests upon this prin-
clple of equality among sovereign States: and

Unrestricted, as above stated, the Initiative
and Referendum would put the small States
under the heels of the big ones. Pennsylvania
Ohio, Illinois and New York might impose
laws upon the less populous States that would
be utterly destructive Mixed schools, negro
supremacy, mlscegenation are among the dan
gers that such a revolution in our system of
checks and balances might bring upon us.
Tariffs haze been reduced in the past; why
can't it be done, again? The whole country

Ject, and the prospect for relief in that di-

to see how we are going to get relief from

Of the party bosses. It seems that the old old
fight over the tariff is to be re-enacted. In
1880, In the race between Garfield and Han
cock, the principle issue was the tariff. In
1884 it was between Grover Cleveland and
James G. Blaine, and the chief subjects of
discussion were the tariff and scandalous per-

seems bound to continue to go, while the mon

HORACE HICKS"
In the separate states Of the Union, the
principle of direct legislation and the Recall
should be put into practise. Every general
law passed by the legislature should be re-
ferred back to the people for ratification, or
rejection Every local law should be referred
to the locality affected. Every office holder
who abuses the confidence Of the people-in
counties, in cities, in towns, and in the
State-should be voted out, just as he was
voted in. The moment he ceases to represent,
that moment his office should be forfeited
Moreover, when the town council or the
State legislature fails to give the people the
laws they need, the people themselves should
have the right to take the initiative, and to
compel the enactment of such laws.

The prospect for the adoption of Direct Leg

mote that the subject isn't worth discussion,
at this time. Not until three -fourths of the
States have adopted the Initiative the Refer

Following upon the suggestion
made in these columns yesterday Al
Castle this morning expressed his
hearty concurrence in the proposal to
organize tennis tournament for
handicap players, barring the best
men in the Territory from competing.
Not only has Castle signifed that
he agrees with the idea but he has
voluntarily offered to find a cup for
such tournament, with but one pro
viso; that is, that sufficient players
compete to make the holding Of the
tournament worth while. Thus ne
putss it up to the players themselves,
who have but to signify their inten-
ton of competing to ensure the tour
nament being arranged.
The idea is to barr the players who
were back-markers in the recent z.
o. Hall tournament and also any
other players in the Territory who
would. have been on the back-mark
had they entered. which will prob
ably mean barring Dick Cooke for
