committee OF the county republican

year the closing OF the business con-
nected with the presidential cam

some OF the accounts OF 1912 remained
unsettled IL IS a confession, that the
party organization has remained dor
mant till prodded into activity by its
creditors.
II IL is not true and the real purpose
was TO get an expression from either
representative republicans or repre-
sentative bull moose from which to
draw a line for the guidance OF the
republicans in the coming county and
congressional campaign then judging
BY its results, the session was a flat
failure. II others than members OF

cause they feared to be placed on rec

The Daily Story
THE MAN IN SEEDY CLoTHESLBY F. A. MITcup,
Copyrighted Literary Bureau

Half century ago the celebrated
gambling house at Monte Carlo did not
exist. At that time Baden Baden was
the center OF attraction for those who
wished to buck the tiger" The build
ing devoted to the purpose was not as
splendid as that now at Monte Carlo,
but it was a handsome one for those
times.
One night a man Of mean appear
ance entered the spacious gambling
hall at Baden Baden, shambled up to
the table and stood behind those in
closing 1t looking at the game. His
eyesight seemed to be sensitive, for he
wore colored glasses. His clothing
was shabby, and his appearance was
by no means improved by his beard,
which was long and scraggly.
After watching the game for awhile
he pushed his way to a seat beside the
table that had been left vacant by a
woman who had lost all her money
and had nothing for stake. On the
strangers left was a German baron,
who, looking aside at his new neighbor
and not relishing the proximity of such
a looking man, gathered up the coins
before him and withdrew.
The seedy individual drew from his
pocket purse, from which he took a
few gold pieces and distributed them
over the numbers he wished to cover.
The wheel was spun. the ball ratified
about in the Enclosure, and the crou-
pier announced what had won and
what had lost. The stranger was
ahead on his bets The next time he
lost, and next won and continued to
win and lose, his winnings usually
equaling his losses.
At the table directly opposite the
newcomer sat a young man, whom
number of the players recognized as a
member of the ducal court. He was
known to be talented and a favorite
with his sovereign. Much of his time
was spent at the gaming table, and re-
port said that a splendid estate he pos
sessed was gradually being transfer
red to others through the roulette ia
BILE. On this occasion he was playing
feverishly, risking large sums and usu
ally losing.
At last he had nothing more TO lose
and sat with his hat drawn down over |

Capital Comment
BY CLYDE n. TAVENNER
Congressman from the Fourteenth District

I tho people had all this work been
done by the government. And the
men actually doing the work would
have received considerably higher
wages for eight-hour work days that
the employees of the steel companies
received for nine and ten-hour Work
days, and In some instances IL hours
day and seven days a week.
But the days of the armor ring and
the ammunition ring are numbered.
Their friends are no longer in the
saddle.
Secretary OF the Navy Daniels has
told the gentlemen behind the armor
trust they can no longer reach INTO
the public treasury and appropriate
whatever sums they please, as has
been their custom
Chairman James Hay, OF the house
military affairs committee. is bring
ing out testimony showing that the
war department is paying the private
manufacturers So per cent more for
ammunition and other supplies than it
can, and is, manufacturing the iden-
teal articles for in the government
arsenals.
The dawn of the new order of things
is revealed in the annual report of the
secretary of the navy, recently issued
THE time has come" states Secre-
tary Daniels. when the department
should be freed from excessive prices
charged by private manufacturers of
armor plate, guns and gun forgings,
powder. torpedoes. and other supplies
and other munitions"
The real meaning OF the secretary's
recommendation that hereafter the
government manufacture practically
everything it uses in large quantities,
is that for the first time in years the
United States government, and not the
armor ring, is in control of the navy
department.

nobleman, she went to him. stood be-
hind him and was about TO lay hand
on his shoulder when the seedy indi-

the table and placed the money he had
offered on spot where If il won it

This incident held the hand of the
lady behind the nobleman, and instead
of letting it fall where she had in
tended she waited. The wheel was
spun, the ball ratified. and. being at
last caught in one of the receptacles,
the croupier announced the result. A
dozen gold pieces that the seedy man
had placed for his vis-a-vis were coyer-
ed by sixty pieces of the same de-
nomination.
All eyes We're fixed on the winner to
see what he would do Would he ac-
cept his winnings? II so would he
repay the loan? Would he replace his
new stake? Would he leave the whole
amount where it was?
He answered these questions by do
ing nothing. He made no motion. His
hat concealed the upper part Of his
face so that no one could see what &c
expressed Since he did no. with
draw his winnings it was assumed
that he would leave them where they
were. If he lost he would lose the
whole amount; If he won he would
win five times the sixty or 300 gold
pieces.

given. and the wheel was twirled.
By this time those about the table
had largely lost interest in their own
