Calls British ChurIish
LONDON. Aug. ss.-In an editorial
dealing with Great Britain's refusal TO
participate in the Panama Pacific ex-
position the Outlook says:
TT seems pretty churlish that Great
Britain should refuse to take part in
the exposition because it would cost
her a little more than sh= expected.
Unless there are other and better
reasons to be given for this policy we
fear that England has cut rather
bad figure over the business and will
lose something far more valuable than
the orders she might have gained by
a hearty lookin at Uncle Sans big
worlds show"

Unpleasant Is the prospect which

his schoolmaster's conceit shall carry
us into foolish and ruinous war with
Mexico. Not in the lifetime of gen.
Grafton would we be able really to
compose the country; and even when
it should be done, If ever, the result
would involve an unending RESPONSE

quered province would put upon us a
strain to which our system is not
adapted and which 1t could hardly
sustain. To incorporate Mexico with

probably one tending to national de-
struction. And this being so. we ought
by every expedient consistent with
honor and dignity to avoid the kind of
mix-up In which the presidents course.

Plea for Party Unity.

In a recent speech former Vice
President Charles w. Fairbanks said:
circumstances which unfortunately
led to party division year ago no
longer exist. The Democratic party
is in full power. and it can be over
thrown only by the united effort of
the great body of those who believe
in Republican principles. l have no
doubt whatever that the logic of
events will bring all Republicans into
cooperation again. This cannot be
accomplished by coercion Of any sort;
1t must come about naturally by the
exercise of a spirit of tolerance and
patience; old scores should be forgot

put it. 1T does not do to keep books

never POPULAR TAX
Assessments on Incomes Always
Opposed.
Great English and American states
men Have Gone on Record In Op-
position to Pian-Lincoln's
Words Of Denunc alton.

When Edward Gibbon, the historian.
tells US that the Roman emperors as
certained the incomes of their subjects
by burning them ut the stake, we feel
little regret that the glory OF Rome is
no more. When we read how the busi-
ness men of the middle ages. especial
ly the very successful Jews, were In
geniously tortured to make them re-
veal their incomes we see some ad-
vantages In not living even In that
picturesque period. But We must not
exult prematurely!
The English income tax is the model
come tax is based. A quarter of a
century after the English tax went In
to force 1t was repealed with an en-
thusiasm that Is worth recalling. Dur
ing the Napoleonic wars the income
tax had been endured as necessary
evil. But after Waterloo popular op-
position could no longer be restrained.

expressing adherence of tax repug-
nant to everything like British feel
ing"
Throughout the debates in the COM
mons at this time it was always the
inquisitorial nature of the tax, an in
herent evil, rather than the high rates
which aroused most bitter hostility.
The intensity of feeling may be gath
cred from Brougham's very popular
proposal that all records of the tax be
burned that posterity should never
know that such tax had existed. Well
may the Democrats ponder over these
things!
Gladstones denunciation of the in
come tax came just ten years after
Abraham Lincoln, who must have had
in mind England's experience, wrote
ito the voters of Illinois," by the
direct tax system the land must be
literally covered with assessors and
collectors. going forth like swarms OF
Egyptian locusts, devouring every
blade of grass and other green thing"
We do not wish to press the analogy
between Democratic tax officials and
locusts OF any other kind of insects. in
structive though such analogy be. We
do wish, however, to counsel great re-
straint and good sense in administer
ing what has proved In all times and
places to be the most unpopular OF
taxes.

CHAPTER XIV.

Even as Wright held Gloria in his
arms there came back to him her
words:
Yes. believe in you-as l believe
in my father"
They were like lead about his heart.
and cautioned him. that he must get
her away from Belmont as quickly as
possible. Words of love must be post
poned, new-found bliss be treated as
commonplace, until he had finished
his hard task of persuading her to go
away.
You've made me supremely happy.
Gloria. l want you to believe in me
and trust me-always."
She smiled up at him her love and
confidence as she answered, II dc. l
do"
Il want you to be happy. and 1
know you're not happy in Belmont.
You must go away at once. I'll follow
YOU"
But why?" she questioned. The
smile was still there. but surprise
peeped forth from her eyes. I'm
happy now"
Wright laughed at her with that de-
lightfully patronizing air of possession
that lovers assume. caught her III his
arms once more and kissed her.

stand. Can't you trust me?'
"Ye-es, but father would"
"He won't oppose your going.
know he won't" At thought OF David
Kerr and the fierce fight they were
this for me, Gloria. You can get late
train for st. Louis tonight. I'll have
Mrs. Gilbert go with you. Next week
I'll join you. and we'll make plans for
the wedding"
But. Joe, that's 30 foolish" she
complained. II like Belmont i'm
mensely now" Then she struck
more serious note. Besides, 1t
wouldn't be fair to father. He's put
me through, and I'm not going to dis
appoint him. To go away-well. feel
It would be disloyal."
You can write him we're engaged"
he pleaded. Then I'll go to see him"
Gloria could not altogether under
stand his insistence. Then, too. to
send her away just after they had
found each other was something she
could not explain to her father.
Further discussion was put out of
the question by the appearance of
Judge Gilbert.
Would you object to waiting for

which the men had been comforting.

replying. Then she asked Wright with
smile, You won't be long,"
He walked with her to the door. to
Gilbert's surprise, crossed the thresh-
old and went into the little office.
Somehow or other-such things are al
ways mysteries, certainly they are ac-
cidents-the door seemed to close Of
its own accord.
Wait for me little WHILE" he said,
taking both her hands in his. It's go
ing to be such glorious world for us.
l never knew what happiness meant
till now. To be wherever you were
has always made life sweet, but now
everything takes on a new meaning
by you"
She loosed one hand from his grasp
and put it over his mouth.
Naughty boy, you must go back to
work. You're playing truant here
mustn't listen to you. When l listen
to you. you make me forget every
thing but that l love you. And now
want to be alone and think"
To leave her for an instant was like
having his life's sun in eclipse. At
last she freed herself from his arms
and bade him 60 He had gone as far
as the door. his hand upon the knob,
when she quickly crossed the small
space between them, threw her arms
around his neck and whispered:
Remember, dear, in whatever you
do I'm with you. May my love and
my confidence support you ever"
1t seemed to him like a benediction.
Again were his arms around her, again
their lips pledged their hearts last
ing love. Gently he released himself
from her embrace, and with a parting
smile was gone.
Wright stepped into the library, his
eyes upon Gloria until the closed door
shut her from his sight. He turned to
find himself face to face with David
Kerr
/ While Wright had been talking to
Gloria, Kerr and Kendall had joined
the attorney in the library. AS soon
as the editor saw with whom he had
to deal, he recognized how hard
pressed were his friends the enemy
since no go-between was employed. He
was being asked to treat with the
boss of Belmont himself.
You know Mr.. Kendall and Mr.
Kerr Gilbert said, without resorting
to his social manner, as was his Gus
tom. This he knew to be a case OF
diamond cut diamond. and there was
no occasion for any seeming show Of
friendliness.

at your house."
1t was easy to see from the direct
opening of the conversation that there
was to be little beating around the

the first step. Where do you propose

He came step nearer. but she did
not turn to him. She stood half
turned away, her eyes downcast. her
lips parted into half a smile. Her
breath came fast and she could feel
her heart beat. Then she heard him
say in lower tone, so gently:
Nothing to say, Gloria? Can't you
believe me?"
She turned to find herself gazing
into his eyes,
Yes, l believe In you-as l believe
in my father"
This answer was not enough. He
had asked her to be his wife. Not yet
had she replied.
Say that you care for me, Gloria;
tell me that you love me-"
I've always cared. Joe; I do love

his arms.
