Vague Regarding The National Ticket

Governor Glasscock wants the Roose.

trct and county Republican cand
dates and the Republican presidential
as we'll.
Speaking Of the nomination of Taft
and the attempts on the part of some
Taft Republicans to read tho Roose.
welt followers out of the party, the
statement says:
Il have noticed n disposition on the
part of some Republicans to read out
of tnc party every man who wavers In
his support of the national ticket. BY
what authority do they say who are
Republicans and who are not? Who
constituted them the keepers and
guardians of the consciences, intelli-
gcnco and patriotism of the Republican
voters of the State? II would be well
for them to remember that n man
can become a member of the party with
out the aid or consent of any indi-
yidual or set of individuals, and he can
remain In the party Just as long as he
pleases, it matters not who may object
to his membership.

determined the end. In spite OF her
assurance there was some little ap-
prehension in the glance that she cast

was no one. She was absolutely
alone. The pool and the chance OF

Can Reducs Cost of LlNinu.

The promise to reduce the cost OF
living has been held out so often and
SO fruitlessly by seekers after ofice
during the past few years that the
wonder is that we should hear 1t
again. When Governor Foss was
elected for the first time two years
ago it was on the platform that his
election would cheaper commodities
to the people of Massachusetts. He is
now we'll in his second term and h
cost of living is higher than 1t was at
the date of his first inaugural. A gov
ernor of Massachusetts has no real
power to reduce prices directly. A
president of the United States, stand
ing on a sympathetic national plat
form, can initiate legislation and gen
eral policies tending to wipe out some
OF the factors OF excessive prices, not
high Eices. His platform has behind
1t the pledge of legislation to put It In
operation.

CHAPTER V.

The Bear, tho Man and the Flood,
The water was deep enough to re-

enough to enable her to swim a few
strokes. The first chill or the Icy wa

Injured, could long endure that frigid
bath. Reluctantly. yet with the knowl-
edge that she must go. after n more
sweeping dive and a few magnificent
strokes, she raised her head from the
water tapping her white shoulders and
shaking her face clear from the drops
OF crystal, faced the shore. 1t was nc
longer untenanted. she was no Longer

as If he did not know quite what TO
make OF the white loneliness OF this
unwonted apparition flashing so sud
denly at him out OF the water. this
strange invader OF the domain OF
which he was sole master and lord
paramount, stood a great, monstrous.
frightful looking grizzly bear. Ursus
Horribilis, indeed.
He. was an aged monarch OF the
mountains, reddish brown in color
originally, but now a hoary dirty
gray. His body was massive and
burly, his legs short, dark colored and
immensely powerful. His broad square
head moved restlessly. His fanged
mouth opened and a low hoarse grow
came from the red cavern OF his
throat. He was an old and terrible
monster who had tasted the blood o.
man and who would not hesitate tt
attack without ~provocation, especially
anything at once SO harmless and sc
Whitley inviting as the girl in thu
pool.
The girl forgot the chill of the watel

The girl forgot the chill of the water

in the horror of that moment. Alone,
naked, defenseless, lost in the noun
tains. with the most powerful. san
culinary and ferocious beast OF n
continent in front OF her, she could
neither fight nor fly; she could only
wait his pleasure. He snuffed at her
| clothing a moment and stood with
one fore foot advanced for a second
or two growing deeply, evidently, she
thought with almost superhuman
keenness Of perception. preparing to
leap into the pool and seize upon her.
The rush of the current as 1t swirled
about her caused her to sway gently,
otherwise she stood motionless and
apprehensive, awfully expectant. She
had made no sound, and save for that
low growl the great beast had been
equally silent. There was an awful
fixity In the gaze she turned upon him
and he wavered under 1t. 1t annoyed
him. It bespoke a little of the DOM
nance OF the human. But she was
too surprised, too unneryed. too des-
perateIy frightened to put forth the
full power of mind over matter. There
was piteous appeal In her gaze. The
bear realized this and mastered her
sufficiently.
She did not know whether she was
In the water or in the air; there were
but two points upon which her con
seriousness was focused in the vast
ellipse OF her Imagination. Another
moment or two and all coherency Of
thought would be gone. The grizzly
still unsettled and uneasy before hel
awful glance, but not deferred by 1t
turned its great head sideways q lit
tie to escape the direct immobilt
stare brought his sharp ciawed foo
: down heavily and lurched forward.
Scarcely had a minute elapsed IL

Daniel G. Roper, chief clerk or n
ways and means committee OF the
house, statistician and tariff expert,
says:
1.-THE Democrats have clearly shown
that there are two kinds of tariff;
one for revenue, and one for protec-
ton; that a revenue tariff is intended
to produce the necessary money to
support the federal government; that
a protective tariff Is to tax the people
to raise revenue for private pockets.
AS the tariff wall of prohibitiye du-
ties is increased, just so are trade
combinations fostered and the people
required to pay exorbitant prices. Pro-
hibitive tariffs prevent relief from
without the country, while comb1na-
lions plumber the people within the
country. Again, as the revenue Tor
private pockets increases, that for b
public treasury ~diminishes, because
of the high and protective wall ere
ated against imports"

accompanied by the mightiest con-
Duration known to man.
For Gods sake, help!"
How dare poor humanity so plead,
the doubter cries. What is 1t to God
il one suffers, another bleeds, another
dies? What answer could come out Of
that silent sky? Sometimes the Lord
speaks with the loud voice Of mems
fashioning, instead of in that still
whisper which is his own, and the
sound of which we fail to catch be-

The answer to her prayer came

On the instant the bear rose to his
feet. swayed slightly and struck as at
an imaginary enemy with his weighty
paws. A hoarse, frightful gutterine
! oar burst from his red slavering jaws
then he lurched side ways and fell
forward, fighting the air madly for
moment, and lay still.
With staring eyes that missed nc

brief composition. She thought It
would be just as well for her to sink
