CHAPTER TX.

In the delicate, fresh June dawn.
the French limousine crept into the
Beach Enclosure.
Were here" said Bailey, to his
travelling companions. you can't park
the car in front by the fence; Mr..
David might see you and kill himself
by misturn. Come up to the grand
stand seats"
Mr.. Ffrench got out in silence and
assisted Emily to decend; a pale and
wide-eyed Emily behind her veil.
"The boys were calling extras" she
suggested family. "They said three
accidents on the track"
Bailey turned to a blue and gold Of
fetal passing.
Number seven all right?" he
asked.
"On the track, Lestrange driving"
was the prompt response. Leading
by thirty-two miles"
A little of Emilys color rushed back.
Satisfied, Bailey lead their way to the
tiers of seats, almost empty at this
hour. Pearly, unsubstantial in the
young light, lay the huge oval meadow
and the track edging It.
I've sent over for Mr.. Dick" Bailey
informed the other two. Hes been
here. and he can tell what's doing
-Four cars are out Of the race. There's
Mr.. David comng!'
A gray machine shot around the
west curve, hurtled roaring down the
straight stretch past the stand and
crossed before them, the mechanician
rising in his seat TO catch the pendant
linen streamers and wipe the dust
from the drivers goggles in prepare
ton for the death turn" ahead. There
was a series of rapid explosions as the
driver shut off his motor, the machine
swerved almost facing the infield
fence and slid around the bend with a
skidding lurch that threw cloud OF
soil high in the air. Emily cried out.
Mr.. French half rose in his place.
What's the matter?" dryly queried
Bailey. Hes been doing that all
night; and pretty turn he makes,
too. He's been doing it for about five
years, in fact, earning his living. onl,
we didn't see him. Here goes an
other"
Mr.. French put on his pince-nez,
preserving the dignity of outward
composure. Emily saw and heard
nothing; she was following Lestrauge
around the far sides of the course,
around until again he flashed past
her, repeating his former feat with
appalling exactitude.
1t was hardly more than FIVE miu-
utes before Dick came burrying to-
ward them; cross, tired. dust-streaked
and gasolenescented.
Il don't see why you wanted to
come" he began before he reached
them. I'm busy enough now. We're
leading; II Lestrange holds out We'll
win. But he's driving alone; Frank
went out an hour ago, on the second
relief, when he went through the pad
dock fence and broke his leg. 1t didn't
hurt the machine bit. except tires,
but 1t lost us twenty-siX laps. And it
leaves Lestrange with thirteen steady
hours at the wheel. He says he can
do it."
Hes fit?" Bailey questioned.
Dick turned a peevish regard upon
him.
81 don't know what you call fit. He
says he is. His hands are blistered al
ready, his right arm has been band

me away from the gear-cutter yester-

Down in Democratic Baltimore al
that time cheerfulness sat easily up
on the brows of thel losers. Amiable,
smiling Taft was the darling of the
hour.
From all sections Of the country
felicitation poured in upon him.
The Sun, MaryIand's great Demo-
cratic paper, said: Never did a
president enter the White House
undermore auspicious circumstances.
He will unite the factions and smooth
out the roughness of the Roosevelt

How are the mighty fallen.
Hatred trailed him and Nemisis

mering. Il will never sign," said
Taft and then set his approval upon

itbe HomerB. Dibell of Duluth.
No judge in the state has better
district court record.
! No student of the law excells him.
The breath of scandal has never
touched him.
He is right because he is honest.
He presides under the shadow of no
mans influence.
1t is now considerably over two
years since the editor of The Gazette
met Judge Dibell. At that time his
friends had made him candidate
for the place afterwards won by
Peter E. Brown.
The St. Paul Dispatch wassupport-
ing Charles E. Lewis for reelection.
He was Duluth man but Duluth
repudiated him. AS representative
of The Dispatch | went to Duluth to
study the Lewis opposition and the
Dibell support.
1t took only afew hours to discover
that Judge Dibeil was the darling of
the Zenith City. A bachelor, a re-
cluse, profound student, tireless
worker, he had In some mysterious
manner endeared himself to themen,
women and children of Duluth.
This was before the passage of the
bipartisan law but Bert Fesler,
Democrat. and Howard Abbot, Re-
publican, were fighting side by side
for Judge Dibbell.
They knew his worth.
They were back of him then, they
are back of him now.
Governor Eberhart will make a
serious mistake if he fails to elevate
Judge Dibell to the supreme bench.

JOSEPH R. KEEfE

There never was better loser
than Joseph R. Keefe.
There are two times in a mans
life when he is tried supremacy: The
moment of his success and the mom-
ent of his defeat, and the greatest
of these is success. Many men can
face defeat cheerfully. Few can re-
ceive success calmly. seriously, gen.
erously.
Joe has faced both trials and faced
them to the admiration of friends
and enemies.
Successful. he discharged the bur-
Gen of his responsibility earnestly.
Defeated, his regret is only for his
friends and his cheerfulness is undis-
turbed.
Never was Keefe more highly res
pected by the voters of Redwood
county than now. His friends be-
lieve in him with the assurance of
belief that spells conviction, and he
is today as he was last week the
strongest Individual force in Red
wood county.
Mr.. Bendixcn, always earnestly
conscientious in the discharge of his
duties, will return to the House and
do his best to seriously represent the
people of Redwood county and Min
nesota. Not criticism has been
made of his record and not any as
persion has been cast upon his char
acter. The fight isover. The friends
of Keefe, still believing in him, will,
nevertheless, do what they can to
uphold the hands of Mr.. Bendixen
and are ready to unite with him in a
fight for the highest, truest and
most satisfactory legislation for Min.
nesota and Redwood county.

SCHMAHL'S GREAT RUN

Double opposition failed to put a
crimp in Julius A. Schmahl.
Virulent attacks by part of the
city press made no impression on the
country or the city.
The most scathing enemy could
not attack his administration of the
office of secretary of state.
He had made good.
They knew it but they abused him
for following precedent.
The people whom he has served
for six years liked his service andin-
dorsed him by splendidly over

WHOM THE PEOPLE HONOR

Carping criticism can>find novoice
after the people speak.
At the worst Governor Eberhart
was attacked by glittering general
denunciation.
Who rose to specify failure?
Wholesale criticism did not win
the people. They wanted something
definite. Failing in this they chung
to an ancient faith.
The governors majority is in the
neighborhood of go 900.
The people have spoken and the
people rule.
Since there is no place in the gov
ernor's record showing fatal weak
ness, criticism must now hold its
breath or die.
1t is the hope of The Gazette that
he holds fast to the faith and by
steadiness of purpose and conscien-
tious discharge of duty justifes the
confidence of the people of Minness
sofa.

men shifted their wavering conf

men shifted their wavering conf
dence to him.
Taft could not recover. The best
natured man in the country became,
like Louis XVI, the most objectional.
Ninety-three is still fresh in the
minds of the ruling generation but
they no longer believe in ninety
three. They have set their faces to
the future arrogantly confident and
they have matched Wilson against
the powers. Their vote was pro-
test and rebuke. They are domi-
nant electors.
Note the responsibility under
which Wilson labors.
He is the nations president. No
faction can claim him and he is the
son of no section. The votes of the
entire country were laid at his feet.
He must make good. Free trade
will not do it. High tariff will not
do it. Only wise and scientific re-
vision Of the tariff downward will
do it. Only careful and honest
control of big business will do it.
Governor Wilson cannot afford to
jeopardize prosperity. He does not
dare forget the well-being of the
people who have honored him. He
will not. His past is right, and his
future is assured.

COMING INTO THEIR OWN

Suffrage carried in two states. pro-
badly in four, of the FIVE in which
the question was voted upon last
Tuesday.
Thus the light of anew hopedawns
for women hitherto comfortably
classed with idiots.
Kansas and Arizona, certainly,
perhaps Michigan and Oregon, have
taken them out of that class.
Evidently the men of Wisconsin
feel that the classification still holds
good.
Minnesota will get vote on this
proposition in the near future. Pos
sibly in two years. quite certainly in
four. What are you gong to do
about it? Sentiment can hardly be
permitted to stand in the way fiust-
ice. The reactionary. in time, is al
ways ground to powder beneath the
wheels of progress. Don't let the
Powder maker or the wrath of the
women over take you.

SCRAPING BARK FROM TREES
In Case of Ordinary Healthy Tree
Treatment Is Advocated by Penn
sYIvania ZooIoalst.

AS to the advisability of scraping
rough or shaggy bark from apple
trees, the state zoologist of Pennsyl-
vania has the following to say:
This depends upon the conditions
in general | advise such treatment,
especially for rough, scaly bark on
old trees; but If II be bark that has
been roughened by the injurious ac-
ton of soil sprays, or by burning
with fire or some other injury, | am
satisfied II would be wrong, because
this is the tender bark beneath just
what a scab of an animal is to sore
which it is protecting.
Therefore, If the bark beneath be
tender, so that 1t would be injured
by being scraped, It is best not to do
it. In the case Of an ordinary healthy
tree it is certainly best, but at injured
places. such as above mentioned 1t is
advisable to sCrape gently, If at all.
On an old tree one cannot apply
enough pressure with a short.handled
hoe or bark scraper to do any injury,
and this will remove many insect
pests, such as coddling moth, woolly
aphis and certain hibernating crea-
lures, and expose scale insects and
other pests to the action of the wealth
er and of the insecticides to be ap-
piled before the leaves appear.

JAPANESE PLUM VERY HARDY
viii Grow on Almost Any Soil and Do
Not Need Particular coddling-
Come On Early.

Plums OF the Japanese variety are
popular with most growers, particu.
larly in the east, because they are
hardy and come on early Many OF
these varieties are the earliest in the
market, and as they are always of
GOOD color, either cherry reds or
ght yellows, they sell readily and
bring good prices
They will grow well on almost any
kind Of decent soil, and do not need
o be particularly coddled, although
hey should have all the care that any
3ood fruit tree deserves.
These trees were planted four years
90 in soil from which pine scrub had
)een grubbed only a few weeks be-
fore. The trees are bearing we'll and
how fine color and great vigor.
These japanese plums differ from
the domestic varieties In that its
caves are longer thinner and smooth
er, and 1t has great tendency to
produce lateral fruit buds on the an
nual growth. Its fruit is mostly short,
round and plump.
The Japanese plum is less liable to
injury from curcu!io and black knot
than the domestic variety. Mr.. Full
lerton says that up 10 this time his
trees have shown no signs of disease
or attack from insects of any kind.
