was passed by the house. but smoth-
cred in the senate incidental TO the
appearance Of the state blue book
minus the pledge.
This was one Of the pledges on
which the republican party was elect
ed TO power in the state. 1t was
unanimously concurred in by the COM
mittee on resolutions at the republican
state convention, and the governor
insists that its absence from the blue
book does not excuse the party from
fulfilling it.
The treachery indicated is part of
the struggle between the reactiohary
and progressive wings of the republi-
can party for the survival of the
fittest. The incident illustrates to
what extremes the reactiOnaries will
go to prevent recognition of the pro-
gressives.
Apparently the war is as much in
progress and the bitterness between
the factions as pronounced today as it
was a year ago when Roosevelt made
his historical exodus from the repub-
lican convention in Chicago.

FOgarty went TO the institution the
BLACK hole" or solitary confinement
punishment was in vogue and harsh
methods had brought about a dispo-

among the prisoners. All Of this has
given way to a spirit of helpfulness
and real reform.

ton of the prison finances is of les.
Importance than his influence toward
better results in treatment of those
within his care. The beneficiarie!
Of his humane policies will rejoice
that no change will be made in tn,

A PURIFYING PROBE.

These things are said 70 be true:
That the National Association of
Manufacturers annually raised fund
of 100000 to S7OO.O 600 to fight labor
and influence legislation.
That this association was largely
Instrumental in securing the nomina-
ton OF William Howard Taft for the
presidency.
That in consideration of its support
this association was promised the
right to1name a member of Mr.. Tafts
cabinet and member of the republic
can campaign committee.
That Mr.. Taft adopted the views Of
the association with respect 10 anti
Injunction.
That the association cooperated
with the reactionary element Of the
republican party TO defeat Pres. ROos-
evelt's legislative program.
That it fought the proposed amend
ment 10 the Sherman antitrust law.
This IS the testimony Of Col. Null
hall supported by voluminous CORE
spondence with the officials of the as

Invisible government. the existence OF

sumed from results. 1t is perniciOus

Despite its fat failure TO wipe out
republicanism in South Bend at a
single stroke at the Wednesday night

forum. our amusing contemporary
Is still eager 10 see the central COM
mittee turn its back on the party to-
night And still hopeful.
And it may we'll happen that freed
from the presence Of men who are
accustomed to follow their own judg
ment in politics, the committee or a
majority OF its members may do this
thing. Committeeman Currise says
that he and II. ID. Warner pOlled the
committee and found IA out of 10 IA
voring the merger.
Whether the under current Of op-
position that fared up Wednesday
and which kept many staunch repub-
licans away from the meeting and will
keep them away from the polls in No
vember in case OF a merger Will effect
the judgment of the committeeman
remains TO be seen.
Here seems TO be the whole situa-
ton IN a nut shell. A merger is the
practicable thing TO do 10 better the
anti democrats chances in November
IF all the republicans in the city
can be brought to believe that victory
is more important than principles.
There's no question that it is the ex-
pedient thing TO do.
But the committee not any one
else should accept this as any thing
else than a compromise TO try TO Sc
cure a victory. The American people
can't be bunkoed in large quantities.
They are quick nowadays to see
through hypocrisy. The committee

far by trying to disguise the real is
sue by calling it a non partisan move

With that tip to act on Steckman
made short work Of the mystery. Just
how he traced it out is of less interest
than his conclusions. He found that
the fitting on and off of the lights
comprised love signals. Just that.
| The engineer a. the light plant did
not have enough TO occupy his time,
and when the machinery was all run
ming nicely, he let his mind dwell on
the beautiful young woman on whom
he had centered his affections. AT
the twilight hour he flashed a signal
that meant: I'm thinking Of you. True
| it reached not her alone; yet 1t did,
| too, for she was the only one who
understood. The engineer was sorry
about the annoyance his signals caus-
! ed other citizens, and If there had
| been any way to have a private cir
cult to the young woman's home he
would gladly have confined himself
TO that. Late in the evening when he
was Obliged to stay at the light station
! instead OF calling at her home, he
never failed to send a flash that by
there secret code, meant: Wish 1 were
near you. And so on.
The engineer would have been less
persistent at his signalling if she had
/ given him more announcement in his
suit for her hand. AS IL was he felt
that he must do something to prove
his love. She had twitted him when
/ the signals became town talk, and
said that he would probably get
scared and cease to fash the mes
! sages. So he dared not stop. In
fact, he fell into the habit then. when
he felt completely carried away by
his love, Of footing sharp blast or
two on the whistle. 1t was this
whistling that helped Steckman TO
| dispose of the mystery.
Having solved the thing to his own
satisfaction, Steckman printed his
findings in the paper. To him II was
all simply a good Joke. And that was
all il was to anybody else-save only
the engineer at the electric light sta
ton. He declared that he would
either kill or cripple Steckman for ex-
posing his little scheme and making
him the Laughing stock of the COM
munity.
Two things helped TO save Steck-
man from violence at the hands of the
engineer One was that the young
woman in the case relented and agreed
10 marry the brave engineer who had
risked so much haunting for her sake
This pacifed the engineer somewhat
and he took the view that except for
Steckman's publication Of the case
he might have courted her on for
many a month all in vain.
| Furthermore. a st. Louis editor
heard OF Steckman's ingenuity in sift-
ing down the light mystery, and he
wired 20 offer the young man Job
That removed Steckman from the dy-
ing embers OF the engineers wrath
and everything ended happily.
Irwin s. Cobb. the magazine CO.

your picture in the paper. and wish

Getting the News
BY PRED c. KELLY.

Frederick W Steckman. a we'll
known Washington correspondent,
used 10 work on a little paper in his
native town down in Missouri. While
there 1t was Steckman's good fortune
TO solve a mystery that had the town
agog for weeks and weeks.
1t was not a murder mystery, and
there was no hint OF crime in connec-
ton with it. but it. nevertheless. was
a real mystery; and Steckman became
the hero OF the place when he pub
lished the solution.
The mystery was about nothing
more or less than the funny way the
electric lights carried on at night. They
would go out all of a suddenfi without
warning, then on again. in second off
again-and all such strange carrying
on as that.
Electric lights were still a novelty
in the little place. and everything they
did caused talk. The fluttering OF
the light annoyed any one who hap
pened TO be reading, but the light it
self caused much les distraction than
wondering what made the light do it.
Citizens appealed to the manager of
went TO the plant with experts and
tried to ascertain what allied the dy-
namos or the rest of the outfit. They
could find nothing wrong. The nice,
new machinery seemed to be working
right up to specifications. Yet every
night occurred the funny goings on
and off Of the lights. Not only the
lights in the homes and stores, but
on the street corners, were in on the
mystery. After a time il was about
all the people talked about. Not that
II matter so much, you understand;
| they simply struggled against the idea
or nurturing a mystery that defied So
luton. Some advanced the theory
that ii was due to local meteorological
| conditions, and others thought the
whole town was improperly wired or
something like that, and that some
| day every dwelling house in town
would be set on fire. So the theories
| and hypothesis grew and multiplied,
! but the mystery remained. The lights
| futtered usually around dinner time
or, rather, supper time, as it was
| still known in those parts-and again
about 10 o'clock.
Frederick Steckman had given q
| greatdeal of thought to the problem
| but with no hope Of making headway
| until one night. He was standing IN
the lobby of the little postoffice dis
cussing the mystery with other citi-
Zens when he noticed a young woman
the daughter of a leading butcher
walk by and chuckle to herself. Some.
| thing in the talk about the light mys-
terry had made her chuckle. apparent

made inquiries and learned that sh5
was a young woman who kept com,
pany' with the engineer at the ligh
plant.
