walked down the room to study the

Sinclair drew nearer to Ursula, TO say
softly:
You we're speaking of wanting this

Ursula. And that IL there was any

Before he could finish. Delaney
came back, and Rev. Simms-Sinclair is
yet wondering whether lie fractured

been released from jail only to learn
that his Job had not been held for
him during his stay In the cells.

Without the mistletoe," Delaney
interrupted. "Simms-Sinclair take a
look at that wreath Jones has hung
upon the brow Of the bust of Grand
pa Allen. AS an arbiter of what is ele-
giant and decorous in this community,
doesn't 1t give the benign old gentle
man rather a bacchanalian air?"
Such an idea!" Ursula gurgled,
glancing at the bust
While the rector was adjusting the
wreath on Grandpa Allen, Delaney
told Ursula that he had something to
say to her when she had a moment to
spare.
My goodness" she said. Il don't
know when I'm going to have a rest
full moment until after New Years"
But this will only take a minute.
Maybe"
Shall l put the mistletoe on the
chandelier or will you trust to luck?"
Jones asked suddenly, from behind De-
lancey. and Delaney is quite sure he
consigned Jones to a place where
Christmas is entirely unknown.
Il didn't know we had any mistle-
toe" Ursula pouted.
It is a wrong idea to tell girls about
the mistletoe
"Mistletoe," Simms-Sinclair re-
marked, ponderously, II may say, is
a relic of an ancient pagan rite. and

smile: But they always stood up for

he was swiftly rejecting that whoever

would be kept from the side Of Ursula

We'll TO GO SLOW
Evil Of Hasty Legislation Has
Been Proved.
Especially on the Matter Of Currency
10 the Utmost Care Advisable
Matter Of Vital Interest to
the Country.

Senators seeking safe and work
able currency scheme and unwilling
to be hurried in their labors should
take note Of and be instructed by the
fate of the ship bonus clause of the
Underwood tariff law.
That clause was adopted by the
house In the haste that marked the
passage of the bill through that body.
Apparently the majority did not
know, or sufficiently consider, what
the effect Of the provision would be.
The object was to encourage Ameri-
can shipping, now. and for long Lam
gushing.
Later, II was discovered that the
provision would violate treaties be-
tween this country and nearly all the
leading foreign countries. Several of
those countries promptly protested.
and their protests we're taken into
consideration.
In response, a proviso was adopted
excepting the importations from all
treaty countries from the operation
of the bonus The correction looked
simple, and was concurred in by dis
tinguished lawyers in both houses of
congress and by the president
Now the attorney general decides
that the correction utilities the pro-
vision, and so the whole thing goes
by the board. The matter may be
taken into court, and costly litigation
be the result.
There are two warnings in this.
First, against haste. If the house
had taken more time for investiga-
tion-or rather had made an investi-
CATION of the SUBJECTIVE blunder
might have been avoided. Either the
provision would have been omitted,
or else put, II possible, into accept
able shape.
The second warning is against in6i-
rection. Everybody sees that Ameri-
can shipping should be revived, and
everybody wants 1t revived. 1t is
equally plain that revival Will re-
quire government assistance of some
kind. But there is a popular pref
udice against the word subsidy" and
nenCe the euOTl u uiuc thc hoSioNohSo
in the capsule bonus"
And then the Democrats shy at the
word protection" They want a mer-
chant marine, but not as the result OF
legislation clearly according to the
strict meaning of protection. They
have seen American manufacturing
promoted by that policy, and Amerb
can railroads built by 1t, but they
have inveighed against 1t so long they
fear the charge of inconsistency as
respects the merchant marine.
In the matter of the currency-a
most delicate matter-let everything
be done with elaboration and the
utmost care, SO that no clash or crash
may follow. The Glass bill as 1t
passed the house is impossible The
senate, instructed by public senti'
ment. is against 1t, and the president
will accept an amended bill. No
haste. or delay, for party advantage,
but months of time IL necessary TO
draft a measure Of benefit to the
whole country.

was but another one Of the opportuni-
ties he was watching for and never
overlooked, and for just an instant he
felt he had scored heavily on Delan-
cey.
