but there was a guilty deepening OF
the flush on his face. Mr.. Mahaffy
glanced at the jug, at the half-emptied
glass, lastly at the Judge himself.
"You seem to be raising t1rst-rate
hell all by yourself"
"Oh, be reasonable, Solomon. You'd

way of answer, Mahaffy shot him a
contemptuous glance. Take a chair

evidently conscious Of entire recti-

conditions. Here's the jug, with some
liquor left in there's a glass. Now
what more do you want?"
Mr.. Mahafy drew near the table.
"Sit down." urged the judge.

dozen miserable loafers who'd crawled
out to see the boat come in. That's
the news six days a week."
BY the river had come the Judge,
tentatively hopeful, but at heart ex-
pecting nothing, therefore immune to
disappointment and equipped for fail
ure. BY the river had come Mr.. Ma
hatfy, as unfit as the judge himself,
and for the same reason, but sour and
bitter with the world, believing al
ways in the possibility of some mir
acle of regeneration.
At the judges elbow Mr.. Mahatfy
changed his position with nervous
suddenness. Then he folded his long
arms.
You asked if there was any news,
Price; while we were waiting for the
boat a raft tied up to the bank; the
fellow aboard of it had a man he'd
fished up out of the river, man
who'd been pretty we'll cut to pieces"
who was he?" asked the judge.
Nobody knew, and he wasn't con-
scious. l shouldn't be surprised if he
never opens his lips again. When
the doctor had looked to his cuts, the
fellow on the raft cast off and went

The Single Tax and the Farmers
(Houchin's Press Bureau. J

Speeches against the adoption
of the single tax form of govern
ment made by Mr.. Houchin has
won thousands of farmers to his
candidacy because he has so suc-
cinctly set forth the detriment TO
the farmer from a single tax law.
He has opposed it at all times and
warns the farmer that he is now
bearing his fair share of the taxes
of the State and should not take
up more burdens. The double
dealing Of the city politicians with
the farmer has increased the cost
of all farm machinery and lower
ed the price OF produce the farmer
sells but increasing the cost of
the produce sold to the farmer to
feed winter cattle. 1t is getting to
bea serious proposition for the
farmer to meet his daily expenses,
insurance, taxes and needed COM
forts without taking over the extra
tax which would be added if a
single tax law is adopted.

Better schools for the rural pu-

by James A. Houchin, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor.
Having attended country achool,
Houchin understands personally
the disadvantages country child
is forced to overcome to cope with
his better trained minded cousin
from the cities. The farmer knows
the rural schools have been neg
lected sadly by the State and pro-
| poses to give his energy and in
telligence in making a Governor
who will favor the rural school.
Houchin has asserted in hundreds
of speeches that he believes the
State should give greater aid to
the weak school districts than the
present law premits.
