The business man in politics thus be-
comes topic of genuine interest. There
are evidences that he IS awakening to
the realization of the full measure Of
his responsibilities. As the case now
stands, business is not going to be
divorced from politics. The two seem
destined to be more closely associated
than ever before.

in dispute between the railroad cor

More Lawyers Than Business Men.


While there are more mercantile
men in Congress today than ever be-
fore, it is also true that the prepon-
derance of lawyers is very great.
There are in the present House of
Representatives no less than e6o law
yers, or nearly two-thirds of the men,
bership. The Ways and Means Com
mittee, which has to deal with the
technical details of business, has a
Democratic membership of fourteen, of
whom eleven are lawyers, while the
other three do not appear from their
autobiographies in the Congressional
Directory to have had any business ex-
perience. The time is coming, how
ever, when this condition of affairs
will be changed. The large number
of business men in the House today
is an indication of the new movement
toward recognition of the commercial
world in politics. The people want
more action and less academic discus
sion. Senator Aldrich once said that
if he could reorganize the government:
on.a corporation basis and apply strict
business methods to its management,
he could save $3oo.oooooo year. The
trend now is toward this end. Some
of these days the country will drift
away from its tradition regarding Pres
idents and will elect some foremost
business man to the highest Office
within the gift of the people. 1t is a
pity that a man like John Wanamaker,
whose business capacity amounts to
genius, could not have had term in
the White House. He would have
mastered the intricate details of the
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1913-04-18

place and dropped them for a full spin
upon the whirligig Of life.
In due time they arrived at Alexan-
dria. There they found the great
transatlantic liner, homeward bound.
Ryanne would beat them into New
York by ten days. He had picked up
a boat Of the p. & o. line at Port Said,
sailing without stop to Marseilles.
From there to Cherbourg was a tri-
fling journey.
George knew the captain, and the
captain not only knew George, but
had known Georges father before
him. The young man went to the
heart OF the matter at once; and when
he had finished his remarkable tale.
the captain lowered his cigar.

how they laughed! Indeed, SO high
were their spirits that they would
have laughed at any i~nconseQuent

bought up all the pennies from the

beggars. At five they went aboard the
ship, which was to leave at shutdown.
some hours ahead of scheduled time.
The captain himself welcomed them
as they climbed the swaying ladder.
There were a hundred frst-class pas
sengers for the final voyage. The two,
however, still sat at the right and left
of the captain; but the table was
filed, and they maintained a guarded
prattle. Every n at once assumed
that they were a bridal couple, and
watched them with tolerant amuse-
ment. The captain had c~onsiderate-
ly left their names off the passenger
list as published for the benefit OF
the passengers and the saloon-sitting.
So they moved in a sort of mystery
which rough weather prevented being
solved.
One night, when the sea lay calm
and the air was caressingly mild,
George and Fortune had gone forward
and were leaning over the starboard-
rail where it meets and joins the for
ward beam-rail. They were watching
for the occasional flicker of %phosphor-
essence. Their shoulders touched, and
Georges hand lay ~protectingly over
hers.

how. all earth's puzzles had that night
been solved.
George lighted a cigar, doubtless
all Naples that night. The intermit-
tent glowing of the end family out
lined his face. Far away across the
shimmering bay rose Capri in a kind
OF magic, amethystine transparency.
A light or two twinkled where Sorren-
to lay. His gaze roved the half-circle,
and finally rested upon the grim dark
ash-heap, Vesuvius. Beauty. beauty
everywhere; beauty in the sky, beauty
upon earth, in his heart and mind He
was twenty-eight. and all these Won
derful things had happened in a little
more than SO many days!
Goods in his heaven,
All's right with the world!"
He flung the half-fnished cigar into
the air, careless as to where it fell,
or hat in falling it might set Naples
on FIRE. 1t struck a roof somewhere
below; a splitter of sparks, and all
vas dark again.
Il shall come" ALI through his
dreams that night he heard it. Il

Next morning he notified the cap
tain to retain their cabins. After that
they proceeded to storm the shops.
They were like March hares; irrespon-
sible children, both Of them. What
did propriety matter? What meaning
had circumspection? They two were
all alone; the rest of the world didn't
count. 1t W had counted to either

gone to a parsonage; Mrs. Grundy
would %prudently have suggested it.
The trivialities Of convention, how
ever, had no place at that moment in
their little Eden. They were a law un-

Into twenty shops they went; mo-
diste after modiste was interviewed;
and Fortune at length found two mod
els. These were pretty, and, being
models, quite inexpensive. Once,
George was forced to remain outside
in the carriage. 1t was in front of the
lingerie shop. He put away each re-
ceipt, just like a husband upon his
honeymoon. Later, receipts would

This oversight vas easily remedied:
and then George sought the tailor
shops for ready-made clothes. He had
more difficulty than Fortune; ready
made suits were not the easiest things
to find in Naples. by noon, however.

parapet. It was then that she be-

shook her head slowly.
