no answer. ''An you are not salts

her misfortunes came about! To re-

THE GOVERNOR
AND THE EMERGENCY


Praise for the work of Gov. Cox during
the distressing period OF Ohio's great
flood is heard on all sides. He deserves
it all.
The governor was suddenly put in a
position Of the highest responsibility. He
was commander-in-ch of the state mill
itia, the natural head of the relief move
nent and the man to whom Ohio looked
for leadership. He labored hard and
continuously without rest, subordinated
personal interests and comfort to the
public service and throughout a most
trying week stood an example and in
spiration for those who were working
to relieve suffering and prevent an cpl
demic.
An official often proves his worth by
the manner of his rising to an emergency.
Mr.. Cox proved himself to be the right
man in the right place when disaster
overlook thousands of his fellow Ohioans.
He was OH trial before the people of this
state and his conduct is written in the
praises of a commonwealth.

a very pretty bit of evidence, Mr..
Blake" he said slowly, "but you can
not prove that 1t was who placed the
package in my desk. 1t might have
been some one else, who, finding he
was detected, has planted the crime
upon my shoulders. 1t might have
been any one OF q dozen others. It
might have been you! And, after all,
have no proof that this package does
contain the Golden Buddha," he added
heatedly.
Jimmy Blake drew the package to-
ward him and calmly united the red
silk cords that bound the covering Of
blue cotton cloth and presently dis
closed a lacquered box about twelve
inches square.
He pressed a spring, and the cover
few up, revealing an object that caus-
ed Jack Gordon to utter a cry Of
amazement and to lean forward with
unconcealed interest
Squatting in bed Of green silk, with
crossed hands and feet and terrible,
impassive countenance, was a Buddha
wrought in pure gold set with dia-
monds and rubies that famed in the
faces of the two men with dazzling
radiance.
"And that is it?" murmured Jack
breathlessly.
Nothing less" returned Blake as he
lifted the image from the box and
pressed firmly on the top Of the head.
The creases in the neck thlckened as
the head sank between the shoulders,
and then from the base of the squat
figure poured forth a stream of enor-
nous gems which ran like living fire
and fame across the blotting pad on
Jimmy Blake's desk.

"And they accuse me Of stealing that"
"They certainly do" said Blake cool
ly as he replaced the image in the cas-
ket and retied the crimson cords about
the outer covering.

reasons to thank Governor James NJ. Cox

government to do everything in its power
for the quarter million people, vic
Tins of the flood. He asked aid from
other states, He got it. He sent an
appeal to President Wilson. 1t was an
swercd. He called upon cities not
afflicted for help. There was hearty
response. As Commander in Chief Of
the National Guard he placed them on
duty to preserve order and protect people
and property against looters and thieves.
He has scarcely slept since the disaster
came. He has left nothing undone that
he could do. He asked the legislature
to vote a quarter million dollars from the
state treasury to relieve suffering. 1t

A Rascal Meets the Fate In
tended For Another.
By RtLuNG II. WILLIAMS

A little after 2 o'clock one afternoon
Jack Gordon looked up from his desk
In the Shanghai banking house Of
Blent & Co. and met the weasel eyes
OF Jimmy Blake fastened upon him.
James Patrick Blake was the audi
tor and in his own opinion quite a per-
Bonage. To his subordinates In the
office he was merely "old Jimmy"
with whom they had played from
childhood and whom they unmerciful-
" licked at all out of door sports
when office hours were over.
Mr.. Blake lifted a delicate forefn-
rer and beckoned TO young Gordon.
"Come into my Office" he said curtly.
"Are you speaking to me?" demand
ed Jack haughtlly.
Jimmy nodded and turned into the
little paritioned room which bore his
name on the door.
The eyes of his fellow clerks follow
ed Jacks tall, young figure until the
door closed behind him, and a mean
ing glance went the round Of desks,
and, although not a sound was utter
ed, the room seemed to echo with the
words:
"Beastly little cad, Blake"
Inside the Office Jimmy Blake sat
before his polished mahogany desk
twirling a fan in his white hands. He
glanced with narrowed eyes at Jack,
who stood back against the door
"What about that package In your
desk, Jack?" he asked abruptly.
Jack stared. "What package"
Blake famed himself leisurely. "Of
course 1 knew you would deny it," he
said in his smooth accents. but l
may as we'll tell you, Jack, that the
game is up! All is discovered-hee
for your life and all that rot. you
know"
"I don't know. What's up? What's
discovered? You'll have to explain,
Jimmy" sneered Jack
"Still deny it2 Still assert that you
have not concealed in your desk-in
the second drawer, to be more explicit
"a package wrapped in blue cloth
which-well, never mind that. You
deny that such a package is In your
desk?" raped out Blake.
'T distinctly deny that to my knowl-
edge, such a package is there" assert
ed Jack Indignantly.
"You have no objection to proving
that statement?"
"None whatever"
Jack shot out of the Office, and after
a few moments he returned with a
very white face, bearing in one hand
the described package.
"You win" he said sullenly as he
placed 1t on the desk. "You seem so
we'll informed in the matter perhaps
you will tell me how it got there"
"I was about to ask you that ques-
ton, jack" returned Blake coolly.

Jack, step to the window there. Stand
behind the blind. Now, look across the
road. See three coolies gambling I'M
der that portico?"
Gordon nodded.
"They have been there for several
days; they are not coolies; they are i'm
perial spies watching the bank. Night
and day we have been under espion-
age"

eide what you will do within very
few minutes. have tried to think Of

is for you to take the image and go

of Wasoo. Once there, we will meet
a man who has power from the exalt-
ed rulers to negotiate for the box
When the matter is concluded you
and l will return to Shanghai and all
will be forgotten-by me, at least"
Blake twirled his mustache compla-
Gently as he watched the changing
emotions on Jacks face. Pride strug-
gled with fear and defiance, and once
spasm of horror contracted his fea-
lures.
It seems to be your day, Blake" ]"

maintain to my last breath that am
guiltless of this matter, suppose the
quickest way out of it is to pose as a

AN EPOCH-MAKING
DECISION

Bryan's Commoner has the followin
editorial on President Wilson'S decisio
in the matter of the six-power loan.
THE president has reached the
only conclusion that a democratic
president could reach. President
Taft and Secretary Knox acted in
good faith in asking a New York syn
dicate of bankers to join with similar
ones in five other countries to finance
Chinese loan but they looked at the
matter from their standpoint, which
is essentially different from the dem
ocratic standpoint. The conditions
upon which the six power loan was
tobe made would be entirely in keep
ing with the principles upon which
therepublican party has administered
affairs at home, but a democratic
president committed to the program
which President Wilson has outlined,
looks at the entire situation from a
different standpoint, and it is well
that the announcement of the presi-
dent S position came at the beginning
Of his administration. 1t clears the
air and gives our fnancers at home
and the borrowing nations abroad
notice Of the change that has taken
place i'll the government at Washing
ton.
This administration will encourage
the extension of trade but it will be
an extension open to every legimate
trader-not trade limited or restricted
to few. Other nations, too, will
understand that the United States
does not propose interference with
foreign governments or the indeperl-
dence of nations when it encourages
American capital to invest abroad
China will breath easier as she recog-
nizes the friendliness of our country

While the eyes of the public are
naturally turned upon the drivers who
will participate in the third annual
50O-mile International Sweepstakes
race which will be held at the lndi'
annapolis Motor Speedway, May 80,
there are other men who have their
share of the work to do and upon
whom the driver is largely dependent
for his success. These are the men
at the pits" those expert workmen,
who are able to make the most com
plicated repairs on car in a miracu-
iously short time. Every car must
have it's pit-men, and these men must
work with the speed Of lightning and
the precision Of machinery. When a
car is compelled to come to the pits
for repairs or tire changes seconds
are precious, and every man must
know exactly what to do and when to
do It. For the spectators, this pit
work is as interesting and as excit-
ing as the contest itself, and this year
arrangements have been made so that
