OF the list Of those who to constitute his adj

will be occupied ny partisans Of the Governor =

Of the Washington authorities in naming men
for offices now administered by hold-overs has
made the local situation more difficult. There

positions are important, though they represent
to persons appointed a great amount Of work

a better opportunity to devote an undivided

EDITOR
GLORIOUS CANADIAN INCIDENT

Detective Burns was hired by the "outS Of
he province of Quebec to spot graft at the pro-
vincial capital Burns forthwith opened ii swell
office in Montreal and in charge of it placed one
of his hest men. who advertised the establish
nent as headquarters of a new company that
wanted charter from the legislature. The char
er contained franchises for various sporting en-
terprises shady and otherwise. and was in fact
us raw and rank a proposition as was ever sub
nttrl to any legislative body in the world.
For the first step the manager got into COM
nunication, on the advice of d professional fix
or, with the law partner of Premier Gouin as the
the bill through. This lawyer took it as a gen
lime transaction and quickly furnished a list OF
members of both houses capable Of being "ap-
preached" for value received The business was
dispatched with prOmptness worthy of a bet
ter cause, the required number of seattle" hay
ing been bought for about $75 up. Then the
trap was sprung by means of a resolution de-
manding probe into the circumstances attend
ing the passage of the charters Several cOnvic-
tions of members for receiving brides resulted,
and the premier was put to some trouble in
clearing himself of guilty knowledge of the part
his partner had in the transaction.
4 This Quebec incident is one of the most gro
tesque happenings in the annals of Legislative
corruption. That it should have occurred in
one of the cool preserves of "Our Lady of the
Shows, " as Kipling calls the northern Domin,
ion, adds spice to the narrative.

MEXICO MUST BEHAVE

President Huerta will do as he is told by the
President of the United States or the principal
ports Of his nation willabe taken in charge and
held until such time as he comes to his senses
This will be done with Mexico just as it has
been done with other Central American nations
lacking in selfrespect and self-controI.
Though this is written previous to the receipt
Of the days dispatches from Washington, there
IS not the slightest doubt of. what Congress and
the Nation will do in supporting the demands
Of the President The full power of the country,
moral and financial, will be placed ait the dis
posal of the commander-in-chief to use as seems
10 him timely and proper in maintaining a.
proper respect for our own place among nations
and at the same time dealing in the kindest man
ner with recalcitrant neighbor
No one will question that the President has
done his utmost in displaying a kindly spirit to-
wards Mexico He has gone so far that he has
been bitterly assaulted for holding SO tenaciously
10 the traditional American '.hands off policy
Many have felt that Mexico could not appreciate
the meaning of this kindness and interpreted it
rs fear. This, however, did not restrain the Pres
dent from giving the man mt the head of affairs
IN the City of Mexico every opportunity to see,
understand and to act inteligently
Now that Huerta is determined to 90 from
bad to worse, there is but one thing for the
PRESIDENT TO do-demonstrate the dignity and
power of the American nation i'm manner which
Huerta and other assassins must understand.
just where the affair will end, no one can
foresee. Ordinary observersdo not know whether
Huerta is forcing the United States to land
troops in order to bring Mexican support TO his
waning cause or playing the game of Europeau
and other foreign powers that are ALWAYS busy
creating and fostering distrust and jealousy of
the United States among all Central and South
american states When one hampers with the
powder magazine of war. the eventual result is
absolutely beyond human power to forecast.
Critics of the present administration have
charged that the diplomacy ofsPresident Wilson
and Secretary Bryan is too much. of the. parlor,
ladies' sewing circle variety. Criticism is easy.
Patience is less popular for the moment than
the big stick - So, -.
But behind the criticism and the apparent
faults, is an abiding recognition Of Amprica's
natural distaste for war, faith in the COURAGE
and loyalty of the men in control, and a self
respecting nation that is unaShamrtI and I'M
afraid.
americans are patient sometimes hcvond all
reason. But if any outsiders believe that this
patience indicates weak heart, il is their privi-
lege to be foolish and test our national patience
to the limit. -......--------.--

Progressives sometimes complain that the
Jews associations do not treat them fairly when
handling the political facts. An instance in
point may be the figures of the recent New Jer-
sey Congressional election. Only the totals for
the Republican, Democratic and Progressive can
didates were given and the ProgressiveS made a
sorry showing The complete returns show the
Socialist candidate to have received within so
votes of the Democratic candidate. These So
cialist totals were forgotten. The figures for all
parties do not especially help the Progressive
cause except to make it appear that some one is
ready to spread bad news for that party. The
fnal returns show that Roosevelt, as Il prrSi-
DENTAL candidate, evidently drew votes I'M this
particular district from the Socialist as we'll as
the Republican ranks. The PrOgrr$SiveS of to-
day were not able to hold the Roosevelt strength

CHAPTER XIV.
The Time o. Might.

Not illpleased to be lett to his own
devices Cwhose proposed character
Digby would never have approved had
he so much as suspected them Alan
none the less deferred action until
after midnight.
And espionage was all he feared
save and except always, of course, fail
ure to find his Rose.
It was about one in the morning
when he arrived inconspicuously (but
not SO much SO as to seem deserving
Of police surveillance in the neigh
borhood Of the Riverside drive home Of
his mortal enemy, grim white house
that lowered, stark and tall, upon a
corner.
His preliminary reconnaissance pro-
vided little more than comtortless ex.
ercise. Huge, still its wall bathed in
the milk aud ink OF moonlight and
shadow, all its windows dark but
one-aud that one, in the topmost tier
showed only feeble glimmer SO slight
that Alan almost overlooked it.
But once discovered, it focused upon
itself his thoughts With power little
less than hypnotic.
He believed with small doubt that
Rose was a prisoner within those
walls: that judith must have con
yeyed her there with all speed
And. this being the presumptiye case,
that small, high window of the light
might well be hers.
Directly across the street from the
Urine residence, on the opposite cor
ner, a colossal apartment structure
stood half-faished, stonework to its
second story, gaunt iron skeleton rear
ing above.
To his infinite disgust, Alan found
the guardisn very wide awake, very
much on tile job no chance here to
steal unseen into the building.
This in itself might have been
deemed suspicious circumstance
not for nothing does an honest night
Waterman SO deny the laws of nature
and the tenets OF his craft. But Alan
merely praised the man while cursing
the very fact Of his existence; and, &C.
costing, oycrcame with bank-notes
what seemed an uncommonly stubborn
reluctance, and got his way.
He could not know that another
sllulked behind a barrier of lime bar
rels and overheard all that passed and,
when Alan had ducked smartly into
the unfinished building, rose and stole
after him with footsteps as noiseless
as. cats and face that had the saw
aEery of tigers when it was tran
silently revealed in shaft of moon
light
At length Alan gained the gridiron
of girders on a plane with the lighted
window nsgess the way and crePt
