The trust problem, like currency re-
form, will no doubt be made the sub
ject of profound investigation and
study preliminary to entering upon a
tar-reaching legislative program.
The lower house Of congress has
been most active in trust inquiries, but
since campaign material was the real
object OF inquiry, rather than to estab-
lish basis for legislation, and since
the case made out was merely prima
facie. the reported desire of President
Wilson to institute a scientific investi-
cation of the facts on which to base
his judgment ought not to be displeas-
ing to house Democrats.
Has not the unwisdom of haphazard
methods of procedure been duly i'm
pressed on the leadership by the glar-
ing defects OF the income tax law?
Still more conspicuous as an exam
pie Of unpreparedness to act on funda-
mental propositions is the currency
bill as II emerged from the house. And
even now, after its crudities have been
brought to light by reason of the more
searching inquiry in the senate, some
members of the finance committee feel
that not all Of the obscurities have
been detected and eliminated.

WORRY OVER FUTURE
Trade Conditions Of Country Dis
turb Democrats.
Result Of the New Tariff, so Far, by
No Means satisfsetory--Leaders
Would Prevent Union Of Re
publican Factions.

II is plain that the Democrats In
authority at Washington. from the
president down, are disturbed by the
slowing down Of traffic in many lines.
They do not find satisfactory assur-
ance anywhere that the country will
be able to readiust its affairs to the
new conditions created by Democratic
legislation without suffering serious
losses and passing through a period
OF wide and deep distrust Of Demo
cratic policies and Democratic leader.
ship-a distrust more active and for
midable than the ordinary state Of pub
lie sentiment which has never, since
1892, given the Democratic party a ma
jority of the popular vote in national
election.
II is evident that there can be no
retracing Of the steps which have been
taken. The party's pledges must be
kept and its program carried out Any
other course would tempt ridicule and
invite defeat. The only hope the
Democratic leaders have lies. In the
chance that after uncertainty gives
place to positive knowledge of the
governmental conditions which affect
business there will be Improvement in
trade and productive industry will be
more satisfactory.
II is this situation which makes all
Democratic politicians anxious to pre-
vent, If possible. the union of the Re
publicans and the Progressives. They
realize that such bringing together of
their natural opponents would destroy
all hope that the Democratic party will
be able to retain its hold upon the
country after putting some of its fore
most doctrines to the proof of expe-
Renee.

Of the window Ursula thought she saw
man scuttling like a scared cat up a
dark little cross street: she thought
she saw him take a header over an
ash barrel half submerged In an old
snow bank but she could not be
sure.
Then she turned back and began
gathering up what she could find of
Mrs. Biggs' Christmas dinner. She
was so busy at this and so intent on

which were trying to bore holes In

Upon this blasphemous parody
Jeames sprang with a cry of horror.
But the parody was more than he bar
gained for, that was evident in less
than five seconds. However, rein
forcements were at hand. Rev. Arthur
rushed to the rescue, and a little be-
hind came Delaney.
The door stood wide open. The
scuffie was plainly to be seen from
the street, and two men. one in a tan
overcoat. were rushing across the
lawn, intent on taking a hand OF their
own In the affair. Altogether it was
lively while it lasted. But it was
short.
AS ths two men from outside dashed
ur the steps the big door swung to
with a click, and Jones. who had
closed it. said, in his quiet way:
Get up. Get up. Don't you know
his voice? It's McAdam."
They scrambled to their feet. 1t is
safe to say that unless they knew his
voice they could hardly have recog-
nized him. The disguise by now. at
least. was effective.
They looked at him aghast. Then,
as they heard Ursulas step ON the
stairs, Jeames, with, as Shakespeare
says, "one suspicious and one
dropping eye" helped him to his feet.
Jabez pulled off his wig and dropped
it on the floor. He tugged impotently
at his beard. The damned thing

thing like a sob It's glued on!"
Ursula stood before him. Pretty
much everyone else in the house was
there. too, for the sound of the scuflle

experience of the last two hours had
reduced him TO his element. There
was an epic simplicity about him. He

for the time all the Joy out OF life.
Not one of the trio spoke. for there
was nothing more to be said.
In the drawing room the tide of fun
was rising steadily. Expectation stood
at tiptoe. II was nearly time for the
Christmas tree. For the moment the
leaders of the merriment had disap-
