FOR THIS GIVE THANKS.

There are to he 40 public hearings
on the tariff before the senate finance
committee. For this the country has
good reason to he thankful. 1t is only
a couple of years since We had n Sc
ries of public hearings on this sub
ject. and now it has been proposed to
do 1t all over again. Had public hear
ings been decided on the greater part
of the summer would have been spent
in this way. and we would have had
men going before the committee to
make arguments in favor of the re-
duction of duties on certain commodi-
ties, n other men dividing the time
with them to make arguments against
these same reductions. Reams of pa
per would have been covered with ar
guments and figures. and when we got
through we would have known no
more about the subject than we know
now. The delay in coming to some
conclusion as to what disposition is
to be made of the tariff would have
kept business of all kinds waiting to

it is to be doubted if the least desir-
able features of the pending bill,
whatever they may be, would have
done one-tenth of the damage that
would have been lone by his need
less and futile delay.
If republicans and democrats alike
would refrain from playing politics
with the tariff. and would devote
themselves to only such considera-
ton Of it as is gernane and necessar y,
as good a bill as is going to be passed
could be passed in a week. and the
country would be saved a lot of agony,
and a long and costly wait. 1t is nom
n to say that it is necessary to take
time for consideration of such an inn
portant subject. For three years con-
gress and the country have been taxi
Ing time for consideration of this sub
: ject. ana IL they have not learned
enough about it in this time to pass
a fairly workable bill, in about how
many generations are we to under
stand that 1t will take to acquire the
necessary wisdom? There are to be
no public hearings. Now if we could
only olt out the long speeches and get
down to business the country would
have u to be happy.

We have been told a good many
times that the panic Of 1907 was a
bankers panic. brought about DELHI

by Wall street bankers whose purpose
was to bring about a causeless and
artificial scarcity of money, force in

GOOD FOR THE TOWN.

The Lansford Journal has lust in
stalled a new two revolution cyclinder
press to its equipment, and has not an
unusually fine outfit, and Editor Hol-
bein is naturally pleased to be able to
turn out a good paper and to take care
of all the other work that comes To
MS shop. Holbein is one of the most
progressive newspaper men Of the
state. Through his position as secre-
tary of the North Dakota Press asso-
citation he has been brought into close
contact With every publisher in the
state and everyone who has met him
has been impressed with his energy.
his thoroughness and his efficiency.
He has made the name of his town
known to a good many people who
would never have heard Of it other
wise, and the town derives the bene-
mt. His newspaper reflects his own
personality. Ut is a good d and
1t reflects credit on the city in which
it is published. Lansford is like a
multitude of other cities, large and
small. 1t is being benefited by the
~presidence among its institutions Of
a creditahle publishing house, and
these benefits are so many and so va
ried that undoubtedly a good MANY
OF them escape attention. The b,,si-
ness men of Lansford evidently find
that the circulation of the Journal
means something to them in a BUSH
ness way, for they patronize It's coll
umns literally. 1t is to be hoped that
none of them have the idea that they
are making a present of anything to
the newspaper. for a good paper, such
as the journal is, not only benefits the
community at large, but aids in deye,.
oping the business of every man WIN

Her name was Patricia Fayre. II
YOU were of Westmore her name
would have accounted for much to
you, for the Fayre name Is as old as
Westmore itself. Indeed, Westmore
came near being called Fayrc, there
were so many F'ayres there to begin
with and they had SO much to do with
making it what it is. For a long
time the Fayres owned everything and
left only the widow Fayre and Patri-
cha. And all that was left to them of
the Fayre riches was a little old house
on m of the streets which the new
Westmore had gone and left forgotten.
Mrs. Fayrc was sickly and Patricia
worked for the support Of both. Six
days out of the seven h sat behind a
typewriter and remembered only that
SHE was earning money and needed to
earn it. But on the seventh she put
on her best dress and her best hat and

usually had a new book or magazine
to read.
Iva sVe. IL was 1Ihe lulS Wltll td-
tricia. Westmore, being now more
new than old, had forgotten what the
Fayre name stood for. But Patricia
had not forgotten and never could.
The people she might have had for
friends she did not care for, and the
people she wanted as friends didn't
care for her. So she went her way
alone. And at twenty-three she had
serious ideas of living and dying an
old maid.
Then something happened. The
right man arrived. He walked into
her employers office one morning. He
was tall. slender, and very dark. His
square and clean face looked as if the
manhood behind it was square and
clean, too. Patricia, however, never
noticed him, save for one thing and
that was his name. He introduced
himself as Felix Fayre. Fayre:

In these few words he stated the
whole proposition. But the real es-
tate agent. who was Patricia's employ
er, was a great stickler for details. He
made his client sit down IN nswer
a good many questions. And Patricia
heard them all.
