The True Equality.

From the Los Angeles Times
'"rhe late Senator Dolliver," said a
Washington editor lowed a great part Of
his success to his thorough understand
ing of the American character.
"He understood the American people,
and he admired and sympathized with
them. I'll never forget an after-dinner
speech of his on equality.
HE said that In America we understood
by equality not that we were all equals in
learning, in intellect and so forth, but that
we were all equals in the power to be good
and honorable and generous.
And he told, by way Of illustration, how
a Fort Dodge church once gave a charity
concert where the best talent volunteered
the city's leading singers, elocutionists
and actors.
"At the end of the concert the chairman
went up to the organ loft and said to the
little boy IN patched clothes who had
blown the organ:
well. Freddie. what do we owe you
for your work this evening?
THE little boy looked ut the chairman
in genuine establishment.
why, SIR he said, didn't the rest Of
the talent give their servioes?"

SENATORS WILL VOTE
ON DIRECT ELECTION
Advocates Of Measure Win on
First Test of Strength In
Upper House.

Washington. Jan. 16.-That the SEN
tie at this session must face the ques-
ion as to whether the constitution
ihall be amended so as to require the
>lection of senators by direct vote Of
he people was made apparent yes
.erday. A vote which many senators
considered test of the sentiment Of
he Senate was taken, and resulted
argely In favor OF the proposition.
The situation was such as to arouse
he immediate interest of the senator's.
Senator Sutherland was prompt In OBJ
aiming the attention Of the chair. He
wanted to amend the resolution so as
20 strike out the provision giving tho
state legislatures supervision of elc-
ions and making other changes.
Senator Rayner, stanch advocate
IF the committee, suggested that as the
amendment went to the heart of the
question there should be time for con-
liberation. Senator Rayner did not
press his point, but his plea was taken
Up by Senator Hale, Of Maine. whose
position on the merits of the measure
Numerically opposite. He was sure
that the resolution could not be acted
Upon without protracted debate. He
Urged deliberate movement and precip-
lately moved an adjournment OF the
Senate. The first vote was viva voce.
1.-THE yeas appear to have it," an
bounced the chair.
"Never!" exclaimed a half dozen
senator's. Let US have the yeas and
lays"
Accordingly roll call was ordered,
With the result that AZ out Of go SEN
nent.
OF the 43 negative votes, 20 were cast
~ republicans.
Encouraged by this. Senator Borah
prepared to press consideration Wig
,rously. He did not desire to prevent
sebate, he said, and added he would
got do so If he could obtain the con-
cent Of the Senate to name day for
vote on the resolution and all
amendments. He suggested Tuesday,
January "a.
Unanimous Consent Refused.
For probably 10 minutes the members
Il the Senate discussed the details Of
ne proposition. Even Senator Hale
appeared to fall In with the request.
Senator Borahs colleague, Senator
Hepburn, had not said word UP to
this time, but when the chair put the
request for unanimous consent he said
mo" and spoiled the entire plan.
Senator Borah seemed "displeased and
proceeded to discuss the situation, say
ing the Sutherland amendment had
been offered In committee and was per-
fectly understood. as was the general
proposition.
Senator Carter did not agree. He
wanted time for consideration and for
the digestion of the Sutherland and
other amendments, which by this time
had been presented by Senators De-
pew and Nelson.
Senator Cullom requested an exec
utive session. Such requests by the
venerab BILE Illinois senator seldom fall
On unheeding ears. This was no excep-
ton.
Senator Borah stated that he would
not permit much other business until a
lay is fixed for a vote on the resolu-
ton.

.BRADSTREET AND Dun
REPORT ON BUSINESS
Post Holiday Season, It Is Said,
Is Not So. Dull as Might
Be Expected.

New York. Jan. 1s.--Bradstreet's
Saturday said:
Trade shows an increasing disposition
to throw off the quiet of the post hol-
iday period. Wholesalers are seeking
with fair success for spring business
and statesmen are beginning to send
In orders.
In retail lines, the clearance sale IL
widely In evidence. Except where UNI
seasonable weather checks operations,
retailers are meeting with fair sue
cess. In the wholesale and jobbing
trade conservatism governs and the sit
uatfon seems one Of careful buying.
This feeling has resulted In q careful
keeping down Of stocks. Very much
the same feeling animates cotton man
ufacturers, who find margins raw and
manufactures narrow. This has had a
stimulating effect upon prices Of high
grade cotton goods. In other lines
conservatism also is patent. A very
general curtailment of leather output
Is apparently decided upon. Iron and
steel are quiet, and pig iron prices are
still low.
Business failures in the United
States for the week ending January IL
were 1863, against 2S2 last week, 291 in
the like week Of 1910, 319 In 1909, 49, in
1908 and 234 in 1907.
Business failures In Canada for the
week ending with Thursday number SO,
which contrasts with q last week and
with A for the same week in 1910.
Dun's review today says:
Business conditions remain substan-
TALLY unchanged. From leading cities
come reports which indicate diversity
of conditions with, on the whole. a
fair degree Of activity.
In some lines the receipt Of salts
factory volume OF spring orders is al
ready reported.
Interest in iron and steel centers
largely on developments In the export
trade. Recent orders from abroad in
plate, while a substantial tonnage Of
structural material has been sold in
Canada for bridge building purposes.
The difficulty regarding specifications
on the Pennsylvania railroads order
for 10000 tons Of rails has been ad-
justed. Further purchases Of 220 loco
motives are reported.
The pig iron and cast pipe iron in
terests are reported to have been ac-
tive buyers of late.
More buyers are In the dry goods
markets attending the opening of cot
ton blankets, mems wear and other
lines. There has been considerable ac-
tivity in bleached cottons.
Many visiting buyers are In the
Boston footwear market examining the
situation there."It is believed some fair
orders will be booked, owing to the
small holdings. The somewhat firmer
tendency Of the hide market last week
has not been continued and at present
the situation Is decidedly weak.

CHAPTER xI-(Continued.)

"When q woman learns to love and is
loved, she has no past" I said "all
that should concern her Is the happi-
ness of the man to whom she has given
her life. In your own case believe
that we shall read the story Of bygone

was that OF her heart beating.

"If we were birds to fly over the

1.-The hills will be kind to us. To-
day. tomorrow, whenever 1t Is, Joan,
will you cross the hills with me?"
She promised me with a warmth that
betrayed her desire; and fearing to
dwell upon 1t, left her and went again
to the LITTLE river to see what message
1t had for me. Did the waters still
.subside, or had my fancy been an hallu-
icination? Standing this day upon the
very brink Of the chasm through which
the river flowed, I knew that I was
not mistaken. The stream had sub
sided by another foot at the least it
no longer raced and tumbled through
the gorge: 1t was scarcely more than
warm to the hand. Some one without
had diverted its course, and would dam
1t altogether when the good hour
came.

In the dim nSnt beyond the Cavern,
stood upon tie very brink Of eternity
and might have spoken his last word
on earth. This reflection was my own.
The stolid boatswain made nothing Of
1t. He covered the lantern meth~dical-
ly and squatted back against the rock.
"Yon yellow laddie's fine" he whis-
pered; "'twould be as good as dead
the man were. Has your honor such
thing as a bit of baccy upon We?
No; well, I'll do well wanting IT,"
l smiled, but did not answer him.
In truth. I had begun to find the min
utes OF waiting intolerable What with
the oppressive atmosphere Of the tun-
mel, the heated, steam laden air. and
upon this the ghostly fascination of the
specter at the cavern's mouth, 1t came
to me that my own strength might
not carry me safely through the ordeal.
What kept Okyada? The sentry, on
his part, did not appear to have moved
since 1 had first seen him. There was
not sound In the cave save that Of
the kissing steam behind us. I could
not discover the little figure Of my
servant, though was looking from
the darkness toward the light. Had
he come to the conclusion that It was
dangerous to go on? This seemed pos
sible; and I had already taken a few
steps toward the tunnels mouth when
light, and. standing side by side with
the sentry he uttered that soft, pur-
ring whistle which called to us to
come on.
"Yon's one Of our own, then" the
boatswain said, starting to his feet
clumsily.
Then Some one has gone under and
he Is keeping watch over him." 1 re-
piled; God send that 1t is not one OF
our crew."
Amen to that, sir. though 'twere
IN Christian man to say that we
mawn all die when the day comes
But not In this cursed island. The
day will be an unlucky one IL it comes
here, my man. Put your best foot
foremost and say that 1t shall not"
My words were Greek to him, Of
course; and he answered me with
strange oath and an expression Of opin-
lon upon Portuguese and others which
was quite valueless My own curiosity
now turned, however, to the odd fact
that the sentry remained motionless,
and that Okyada did not appear to
have changed single word with him.
Who. then. was the man, and what
kept him in that grotesque attitude?
At distance Of so yards from the
light / could not have told you-but
man was stone dead as his fellow who
lay upon the path. A bullet from an
unknown rifle had shot him through
the heart as he stood in ambush wait
ing for me. So much / hazarded on
the instant. The truth must be made
known to me upon the yachts deck.
/ say the yacht; and this is to tell
you in a word that, coming out of the
pit, we espied her lying off the head
land, a picture Of life and light upon
the still water. There below, upon the
shore, stood the friends who had known
80 many anxieties suffered upon my ac-
count such weary days of waiting, such
long hours Of strenuous labor, since I
had left them. And now I had but to
scramble down the rugged cliff side
and clasp their hands and to tell them
that all was we'll with me-

AUTO MELON
GUT TOMORROW
Treasurer Of the State VIII Send
to Each County About $1,000
From Motor Car
Tax.
NEXT "DIvY" IN MARCH
Autoists Have to Help Pay for the
Good Roads, the Fund Being
Devoted to That
Purpose.

Tomorrow Lee county will be about
$1,000 richer because of the new
motor car tax. The first division OF
the fund, which goes for the building
of good roads, will be made tomorrow
by Treasurer of State Morrow.
1t is estimated that the entire fund
thus far secured from registrations
under the new law will amount to
about s125,000. Fifteen per cent OF
this total amount is deducted to de-
fray the expenses the state incurred
In putting the measure into effect.
The remaining IS per cent is divided
equally among the counties in proper
ton to the number of townships each
county has to the whole number of
townships in the state.
Secretary of State Hayward, who
collects the motor tax fee and turns
the fund over to the state treasurer,
estimates that each county will get
about $1,000 as its share OF the fund.
The next apportionment will be
March 1, 1912. All motor car owners
will have to register their cars again
January 1 and pay fee for the en-
tire year Of 1912. Inasmuch as the
new law did not become effective I'm.
til July of this year the autoists
have been charged for but six months.
For this reason the March melon
will be larger and the counties will
secure bigger slice.
Supporters of the new motor tax
law in the legislature predicted that
it would create a -und of s350,0oo for
good roads purposes, but it is Re
lieved that the fund will fall ia,
short of this figure.
