the wire, Lanny. Ask Partow!" she
concluded. OF the two she was the
steadier.
"Well?" said Partow, looking up at
the sound of Lanstron's step. Then he
half raised himself from his chair at
sight Of a Lanstron with eyes in
daze of brilliancy; a Lanstron with
his MANNED hand twitching in an out
stretched gesture; a Lanstron in the
dilemma of being at the same time
lover and chief of intelligence. Should
he let her make the sacrifice of every
thing that he held to be sacred to a
woman's delicacy? Should he not re-
turn to the telephone and tell her that
he would not permit her to play such
part? Partow's voice cut in on his
Generalization with the sharpness of a
blade.
well, what, man, what?" he de-
manded He feared that the girl might
be dead. Anything that could upset
LanstTon in this fashion struck a
chord of sympathy and apprehension.
Lanstron advanced to the table,
pressed his hands on the edge, and,
now master of himself, began an ac-
count of Mart, s offer. Partow's form
less arms lay inert on the table, his
soft, pudgy fingers outspread on the
map and his bulk settled deep in the
chair, while his eagle eyes were see
ing through Lanstron, through a noun
tain range, into the eyes of a woman
and general on the veranda of an
enemy's headquarters, The plan meant
giving, giving in the hope of receiving
much in return. Would he get the re-
turn?
"a woman was the ideal one for the
task we Entrusted to Feller," he unused,
"a gentlewoman, big enough, adroit
enough, with her soul in the work as
no paid wOman's could be! There
seemed no such one in the world"
But to let her 90 i'll" gasped Ian
stron.
ut is her suggestion, not yours? She
offers herself? She wants no per.
suasion?" Partow asked sharply.
Entirely her suggestion" said Ian
stron. she offers herself for her
country-for the cause for which our
soldiers will give their lives by the
thousands. 1t is time of sacrifice"
Partow raised his arms. They were
not formless as he brought them down
with sledge-hammer force to the table.
Your tendon of Achilles? My boy,
she is your sword-arm!" His sturdy
forefnger ran along the line of from
tier under his eye with little staccato
leaps. ''Eh?" he chuckled significantly,
finger poised.
Let them up the Bordir road and
on to redoubts SO and 81, you mean?"
asked Lanstron.
You have it! The position looks
important, but so well do we com,
mand it that it is not really vital. Yes,
the Bordir road is her bait for Wester-
ling!" Partow waved his hand as If
the affair were settled.
But" interjected Lanstron, I'VE
have also to decide on the point of the
main defense which she is to make
Westerling think is weak"
"Hm-m!" grumbled Partow. THAT
IL not necessary to start with. We can
give that to her later over the teIe-
phone, can't we. est"

ANY system of law, religion or government
which cannot afford to allow the people to
learn the truth about it, is not fit to live.
By telling the truth on the bad old laws Of
England, such lawyers as Sir Samuel
Ronilly, and Henry Brougham aroused Par
lament and people to the necessity for better
legislation.
BY telling the truth on the bad prison sys-
tenn of Great Britain, the noble Howard
awakened the conscience of public men, and
brought about a change.
BY showing up the evils Of government in
Ireland, in France, in Germany, in England,
and in Portugal. reforms were made.
AS long as nobody can speak of the abuse,
the abuse is safe. Those who benefit by the
abuse, never do away with it. They are the
ones acho do not 2cant 1t spoken Of.
The people who are the benefciaries of
wrong whether in law, in government, or in
religion-have always objected to reform,
and have always opposed free criticism.

Popery Fights Tree speech and Press

Can you imagine the Methodist Church
prosecuting me for quoting in Watson's
Magazine a chapter from one of their theo-
logical books?
No: you cannot: the idea is preposterous
Can you imagine a Baptist minister hav-
ing warrant sworn out against me for tell
ing the truth, about any Baptist dogma or
practice?
No: you cannot. 1t is equally unthinkable
to suppose that the Preshyterians, Episcopal
lans, Adventists, Russclhtes, Christians, or
Mormons would do such thing
Now, then, if it should come to your knowl-
edge that there is one church, claiming to be
a Christian organization. which wants to so
change our laws as to make it impossible for
speakers and writer's to tell the truth on it,
what would you think of such church?
II it is the only church that objects to free
speech and free press, what is it that free
speech and free press can do to it?

You can't criticise freely, unless you can
talk in public, and write for the public.
Therefore, freedom of speech and freedom
of the press have always been opposed by
those ach0se interest 1t a0as to hide something
from the public
In England, the powers that be used to
punish people, under the law of libel, for TELL
ing the truth.
The adage was "The greater the truth, the
greater the libel"
Those in power felt that they could not
afford to have the truth told on them hence,
they used their power to crush and silence
criticism.
That is no longer the law, but hard fight
had to be waged before Parliament changed
it.
Can you imagine Methodist preacher
prosecuting me, for telling the truth on
MethodiSn1?
No: you can not. You know that the very
idea is absurd.

Crawford, James Boyzin and others who had
been Hardwick men in every campaign, pre-
tended to drop Hardwick and take up Fielder.

Juarez. Mexico. March 3O.-An Off
cial message from the front Sunday
night stated that fighting was still go
ing on for the possession of Torreon.
The telegram said that the rebels now
hold all positions except the main bar
racks and the smaller barracks
In the last twenty-four hours it is
reported that General Villa took Cerro
de la Cruz and the 1crreon foundry.
1t was reported by private in a mes
sage received at Chihuahua that Cen
eral Villa had been wounded, and
forced to retire from the frcnt.
Another telegram received here ad-
mits rebel loss in the last six days
of 900 killed and wounded, and places
the federal loss at 1000. AS there are
already at chihuahua 500 wounded.
the report of rebel losses is thought
to have been minimized. Among the
rebel wounded is General Tomas Ur-
bina.
1t is said that private soldiers taken
prisoners are being taken into the
rebel ranks, but their officers are exc
cuted unless they take the oath of al
legiance to the constitutionalist cause.
All irregular troops in the federal
garrison are executed upon capture.
General Venustiano Carranza ar
rived last evening. Absence of ad-
vices from General Villa were taken
to indicate to certainty that il he has
not been repuised, at least he has not
yet taken Torreon.
In Juarez it was confidently ex-
pressed that news of the capture OF
the city would form the chief feature
of the welcome to General Carranza
and the fact that no message of sue
cess of any kind was awaiting him
was accepted as indicating that the
fate of the city was still in the bal
ance.

Asked to say something about the

He said he knew Congress like a

Washington. March 2S.-President
Wilson won the opening skirmish OF
the greatest legislative battle of his
administration when the House, over
protests from the recognized Demo
cratic leaders and almost solid minor
ity opposition, adopted a special rule
for the consideration of the bill repeal
ing the provision of the Panama Canal
act exempting coastwise American
ships from tolls.
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader
Underwood. Republican Leader Mann
and Progressive Leader Murdoch were
at the heads of those lined up against
the administration-but the House re-
sponded to the Presidents personal
appeal for prompt consideration of the
repeal bill as means of supporting
his administrators foreign policy.
Two votes demonstrated the Presi-
dents influence with his party in Con
gress. On the first test a motion to
end debate and preclude amendment
on rule carried by vote of 207 to 176;
the rule itself was adopted. 200 to
172.
Nothing to compare with the scene
Friday had occurred in the House
since the famous Cannon rules fight
four years ago.
In vain Representative Underwood
took the floor of the House and urged
his colleagues to vote against the rule.
The rank and file Democrats after
listening to three hours of passionate
argument, swung into the Presidents
column, 1879 of them voting to prevent
the amendment of the special rule,
while but So followed the leaders in
joining with the minority in opposi-
tion.
Friday night administration support
ers considered the~ crucial point
passed and jubilantly predicted the
passage of the repeal bill itself by a
majority of more than 100.
Colorado Delegation Divided.
The Colorado delegation in Congress
is divided on the issue of free Panama
tolls. Senator Thomas will vote
against the repeal OF the free tolls
provision fer coastwise shipping.
Senator Shafroth will vote for the
repeal.
The Colorado Democrats in the
House divided half and half on the
rule to limit debate which Speaker
Clark called a gag rule. Seldom
ridge and Heating voted for the adop-
tion of the rule; Kindel end Taylor
voted against it.
On the main proposition, however,
that of whether or not free tolls shall
be repealed. all four of the Colorado
members of the House will vote in IA
vor of the repeal, thus standing by the
President.

THE TOLLS REPEAL GILL.
President Holds Conference as Con-
oress Battles over Measure.

Washington. March 31.-While op-
posing factions we're clashing in ora
torical flights on the tolls repeal bill
at the capitol Monday. President Will
son held several conferences at the
White House and expressed keen re-
gret that what had promised to be
dignified contest over principles had
degenerated into a fight upon the ad-
ministration.
Wilson characterized as "a crowning
insult of number of insults" in the
debate. the declaration OF Representa-
tive Knowland of California that the
administration had made deal to re-
peal the toll exemption with Sir Will
lam Terrell, secretary to Sir Edward
Grey. British secretary for foreign af-
fairs.
Little doubt as to the result OF the
vote on the bill is entertained by any
one. the majority for the repeal being
estimated at from 80 to 75 votes.
