CHAPTER XIII
The Captain Disposes.

Sidi Mahommed Bergash once told
Sir George Chesterman that tradition
in the Atlas said the architect VINO
built the campanile in Saint Marks
Sauare at Venice was Berber, and
| that he got his idea for the inclined
footways Of that much overrated bell
tower from the mode Of descent to the
siege-well in his ancestral fortress.
The legend may or may not be true,
but anyway, it is plausible. and except
that the man at Venice turned the
idea inside out and from a. we'll evolv-
ed tower and incidentally eased the
, angles of the inclines, the plans Of the
! two works are identical.
Captain Kettle felt that he could not
afford matches. and, after the day mad
passed, explored the slopes in the
inky dark. So, as I have only his re-
port to go upon, details will. for the
most part, be lacking in this memoir.
The cut was only a trife over four
feet wide, so he could easily keep a
hand on each wall and having all OF
sailors dstrust for navigation IN
strange waters. he always took care
! full sounding with his advance foot,
and assured himself that the floor was
! in place. before putting weigh on II.
There are such things as wines in
these inclined shafts. and Captain ket-
; tie did not propose to walk into etern-
, ity unawares, if ordinary precaution
could keep him alive and useful.
! OF course, as he foresaw, the critical
bit was the last hundred feet, which
| as the saint had told, the old sinkers
, had driven vertically. 1t is easy to be
/ wise after the event, but really If Cap
! tain Kettle had been the slenderest
student Of archaeology, his qualms on
f; this point would have been at rest
! The windlass is comparatively mod
ern machine, and the sinking of that
+, first hundred feet of well-shaft had
antedated it by certainly ten. and very
possibly twenty centuries.

was brought into being by act Of the
legislature in 1906. 1t is composed OF
three members who are appointed by
the governor and who serve without
pay. There is paid secretary and
engineer and about fifteen office men.
Some very prominent citizens Of Min
nesota. including Louis w. Hill, of the
Great Northern railroad, are serving
without compensation on, this COM
mission. George w. Cooley Of Mime
apolis. veteran engineer Of high rank
and an expert in road building, is sec,
rotary and state engineer. He has gen.
eral charge of the work throughout
the state.
The commission began business with
limited appropriation but so we'll
was their work performed that the
people becams aroused to it's import
ance and in 1911 the legislature ap.
propriated $250,000 year. The people
have authorized levy Of one mill,
fact that the funds are disbursei I'LL
der the supervision of the state COM
mission and expert road builders. That
TIE skilled road makers are popular, is
evidenced by the fact that many OF the
counties have called upon the boarf!
for advice and assistance in the hand
ling of their own work. This is given
lthout expense to the counties. The
Minnesota plan Is worthy OF the
raost serious attention Of the people OF
Iowa, and it is to be hoped that the
general assembly this winter will
study the systems adopted in Mime
sofa and other states that are far
ahead of Iowa in road building and
that out of the investigation and dis.
cussion this year will put Iowa far
in advance in dealing with the good
roads question.

RocKEFELLER's DEFIANCE.

Forty assistant sergeants-at-arms or
the house of representatives and
scores of detectives have been en-
gagged for several days in the search
for William Rockefeller, one of the
chiefs Of the Standard Oil company,
who had ignored subpoena to ap-
pear as q witness before the money

hOuse It is certain that Mr.. Rookie
teller will not profit anything by this
omen defiance of the law. He will be
brought before the committee, as he
should be, and be forced to give the
testimony he seeks to withhold.

Rockefeller places himself below the
level Of the common law breaker. He

tives of labor are being sentenced to

Press Comment.
BRYAN AND SENIORITY

Sioux City Journal: 1t is improb.
able that either the senate or house
OF representatives will be swift to act
upon the view recently expressed by
Mr.. Bryan through his Commoner on
the danger to representative govern
ment by the recognition accorded
seniority in the appointment of COM
mittees, especially in assigning COM
mittee chairmanships.
Mr.. Bryan has stated his case very
WE'LL ag follows:
The democratic victory of 1912
brings in another group of new demo-
Gratis, all of them progressives. The
progressive democrats will now be in
the majority in the senate caucus.
Will they allow reactionary minority
to man the ship? Will they allow
length Of service to outweigh SYM
pathy with the progressive cause?
II it were a personal matter the
new senators might prefer to yield to
the older ones, but man who acts in
representative capacity Is not at
liberty to be courteous at the expense
of his constituents. The democrats of
the organization represent the prevail
ing sentiment in the party and thus
enable it to work in harmony with
the administration. To do this the rule
of seniority should be ignored. Assign
ments to committees should be made
unon the basis of fitness and with &
view to giving faithful expression to
the will Of the majority.
The democratic party is pledged to
the doctrine of representative govern
ment. The doctrine of seniority is
destructive Of both the theory and the
practice of representative government.
|, Mr.. Bryan, for instance. is not in
favor of the continuance of Oscar w.
Underwood as chairman of the COM
mittee on ways and means, which posi-
ton carries with it the majority lead
ership on the floor. Senator Martin,
who has been reelected from Vir-
ginia despite the disapproval of Mr..
Bryan, Is not member of the senate
finance committee, and senate leader
ship under democratic control is an
open question Mr.. Martin would not
now be the leader of the senate minor
fly if the active interest of Mr.. Bryan
in opposition had prevailed.
No one, to be sure, can deny the
general proposition that. assignment
to committees should be made upon
the basis of fitness and with view
of giving faithful expression to the
will OF the majority" But how is a
leader to maintain his leadership un-
. less he shall give faithful expression
to the will of the majority? Other
things being anywhere near equal, eX-
perience in congress and length of
service on certain committees should
contribute a good deal to the equip
ment of the individual for Intelligent
and useful work-the same in con-
gress as outside Of congress. ... .
Mr.. Bryan's contention has it's seat
in factional politics. He wants Bryan
democrats" in the lead, and neither
Senator Martin nor Mr. Underwood
come under that designation; and
now, to be sure Speaker Clark also is
to be excluded.
After man has made good, Just as
in the case of Mr.. Bryan himself, he
should Ia encouraged, and it seems to
