CHAPTER I.
"a grateful king will know how to re-
ward you"


ward you"
rT is an amazing thing that the
English, who have the reputa-
ton OF being a practical ma
Il ton, never saw the danger to
which they were exposed. For many
years they had been spending nearly
hundred millions Il year upon their
army and their fleet Squadrons OF
DreadnOughts costing two millions
each had been launched. They had
spent enormous sums upon cruisers,
and both their torpedo and their sub
marine squadrOns were exceptionally
strong. They were also by no means
weak in their aerial power, especially
in the matter of hydroplanes. Besides
all this, their army was very efficient
in spite of its limited numbers, and II
was the most expensive In Europe.
Yet when the day Of trial came all
this imposing force was of no use
whatever and might as well have not
existed. Their ruin could not have
been more complete or more rapid II
they had not possessed an ironclad or
a regiment And all this was accom-
plished 10y me, Captain John Sirius, be-

came as the direct product Of animos-
lily on the part Of a few headstrong
bosses, who care not for political
principles IS long as they are able
to pay political debts. This is the
most charitable view that can be
placed upon the Whole transaction Of
Mr.. Schuck's candidacy. But there
are hints Of sinister things even less
creditable than this, and many are
disposed TO credit rumors that the
ruling motif Of the unyielding Pro-
gressive propaganda in West Vir-
ginia at present is in the nature of a
secretly planned conspiracy, framed
In aid of Democratic candidates. This
may be untrue, but in effect 1t is the
same, in any event, and it is no long
er concealed that there is plenty OF
Democratic money available. to fl
nance progressive campaigns, wher-
ever desired, and to start mushroom
PROGRESSIVE newspapers wherever
1t is deemed helpful or epedient so to
do. But waiving all of this, the
fact remains that a few Progressive
leaders. representing hardly half of
the counties, without taking counsel
of the Progressive voters, and GER
tainly contrary to the will of the
many thousands who voted for Roose-
welt and Sutherland in 1912, nomi-
mated a candidate personally identi-
fled with the worst phase of West
Virginia politics, and one who, were
there considered but two parties, and
were he identified with either as its
nominee, would fall from 5000 to
10000 short of receiving his. party
strength, il pretending to run as the
candidate of a party which, in good
faith, made clean politics and high
standards requisites and forward
principles. The voters Of the state
are not uniformed on this point.
And were it not true, us has been
shown in a dozen states, and yer: re-
Gently in Kentucky and Ohio, that
the Progressive party vote has dwin-
dled away, and that the Republican
party is assimilating progressive men

their progressive beliefs, Mr.. Suth-
erland would. all the same, be ac-
'orded a triumphant reelection

ANOTHER SLANT.

1t is related that a certain New
England manufacturer closed up his
shop when the Underwood Simmons
tariff law was passed and turned oves
all his force Of laborers to the mer-
cics Of their country and God. Hu
then began importing from Germany
Mt a cost less than that at which he
had formerly been able to manufac-
ture. He was able to hold a large
per cetn Of the trade which he had
built up for his American made goods
and was doing a. business quite as
satisfactory rs before. The war has
shut of his source Of supply for the
German made goods, and he now pro-
poses to open up his factory and re-
lieve the country and God of the job
of looking after his laborers.-Spen-
