Three times that year Newt Meldrum
was in town and called on Deborah. She
asked him to supper once and he simply
raved over the salt-rising biscuits and
the peach pusserves. After supper he
asked If he might smoke. That was the
last word in masculine possession. If
frankincense and myrrh had been shaken
about the room, Debby and Mrs. LARA
bee could not have charished them as
they did the odor of tobacco in the cur
tains next day. Mrs. Larrabee cried a
little. Her husband had smoked.
Deborah was only now passing through
the stages the average woman travels in
her teens and early twenties. Deborah
was having callers. Sometimes Asaph
and Jim Crawford came the same night
and tried to freeze each other out, Deb
orah knew the superlative female rapture
of being quarreled over by two males.
And finally she had n proposa-from
Asaph from Josies and Birdalines
Asaph They had left him alone with
Debby once too often.
1t was not a romantic wooing, and
Asaph was not Offering the first love of
n bachelor heart. He was trade broken
widower with series of assorted Or
phans on his hands. And his declaration
was dragged out of him by jealousy and
fear.
Jim Crawford, after numerous failures
to decOy Deborah, had at last offered her
the position of head saleswoman this in
cluded not only authority and increase of
pay, but two trips year to New York
as buyer!
Deborah's soul hungered for that jour-
ney to Carcassonne before she died. but
she put the temptation from her as an
ingratitude to Asaph. Stll. when Asaph

1t was such a luxury TO Deborah to be
sought after even with this hippopota-
mine stealth that she rather prolonged
the suspense and teased Crawford 10 an
oiIer, and to an increase in that, before
she told him that she would have TO

lie fingered on the porch steps to offer
Deborah anything within reason" but
she told him she would think it over
When she thought it over she felt it
would be base ingratitude to desert Asnph
Shiliahcr, who had saved her from starv-
alton by taking her into his beautiful
shop No brlbe should decoy her thence
so long as he wanted her.
a few evenings later there was another
ring at the Larrabee bell This time Mrs
Larrabee showed no alarm except that
she might be late to the door. Ii was
Asaph! He was as sheepsh as a boy.
He said that 1t was kind of lonesome over
at his house and seelng their light he
Kind of thought he'd drop round and be a
little neighborly. Everybody was grow
ing neIghborly nowadays.
Once more Mrs Darrabee vanished AS
she sat in the dining room pretending to
knit she thought how good it was to have
man in the house The rumble of a
deep voice was so comfortable that she
fell asleep long before Asaph could bring
himself to go home.
He had previously sought diversion in
the society of some of the very young
and very pretty salesgirs in his store,
but he found that, for all their graces
their prattle bored him. They talked about
themselves or their friends But Debby
talked to Asaph about Asaph.
That long silent doorbel became a
thing to listen for of evenings Jim
Crawford dropped round now and then.

order to know it was her very own

By and by along came Mr.. Rooster.

"You have never seen fluffy little

A MAKER OF HISTORY.

And so the college professor who
wrote history, has become maker
of it. He has done what future his
torians will record with admiration
and pride. This quiet man who
came from clustered haunts of
scholarship and was supposed to be
unschooled in the arts and articles
of public life; this inexperienced
man who was looked upon by parti-
san politicians and bosses as an i'm
practicable dreamer who would soon
reach his limitations and have his
little day; this gentleman who failed
to shout from the housetops what he
was going to do and refused to de-
scend into the arena of personal con-
troversy and vituperations of all who
differed from him-he is the man of
the hour and of the century. This
man of peace, too, who did not rat
tie sword or mobilize regiment or
lift the anchor of a single warship,
who breathed no threats and spoke
quietly and calmly; this man who
words for deeds''-he is the man who
brought a proud empire in the height
of it's victory to terms and wears the
imperishable wreath of bloodless and
honorable victory. He did "substi-
tute elocution for action and words
for Deeds" but then what words
they were! What reason they ex-
pressed, what potency they embodi-
ed, what humanity they breathed,
what powerful appeal they made to
German reason and conscience and to
the court Of the world? And what
are courts of law and of internation-
al law for but to Substitute elocu-
ton for action and words for deeds. .
The old way OF barbarism is to
strike and kill an opponent first and
then talk about the matter after
wards, but the first step in ciVlliza-
tion is to talk first and see ii words
will not settle the matter better than
force A victory by words is infinite
ly better than victory by war, for
words kill nobody but win both sides
to common justice and knit ali COM
batants into common brotherhood.
The man that sneers at words as
a substitute for war knows not how
blind he is to the deeper forces and
mightier movements and nObler TIL
umphs of our advancing civilization.
Let us beware Of how we belittle
and despise "words;;" those mere
puffs of air or bits Of paper may have
in them more might than a million
bayonets or a thousand superdread-
naughts or supersubmarines. Wood
row Wilson may we'll forgive in COM
descending pity the men who have
ridiculed and stabbed him; his patti
ence and self control and caimness
and reason and conscience have now
put him far above their criticism and
envy He stands laurelled with vic
tory, and history will not forget him
when it comes to make up the pages
of it's last edition.-Presbyter

ANOTHER ISSUE" GONE.

The Journal will reserve its detail
ed comment on the plans of the Will
son administration for the national
defense till those plans are announc-
ed officially. Meantime, this paper
desires to offer it's coincidence to
those grieved republican politicians
who see another promising issue
snatched away, just as they were
coming to pluck it with a moving pic
ture apparatus and brass band.
While republican orators and
newspapers have been raving about
democratic neglect of our national
defenses," President Wilson and his
aids have been making a careful sur
vey of those defenses and getting ex-
pert testimony as to the improve
ments needed The administration
will come before congress, not with
vague palaver, but with carefully
thought-out and comprehensive plan.
1t is one more case Of that quiet, UNI
assuming efficiency which revised the
tariff and gave the nation the first
sound currency law it had known in
two generations.
One by enc the roses fall. One by
one the tissues" on which republi-
can politicians hoped to ride back in
to power are taken UP and settled.

THE GRAND PRIZE FOR STUPID
TTT

If a grand prize We're offered for
the stupidest political proposal ever
made to the eternal gulliDle,' it
would go, without fail, to the repub-
lican leader who is chiefly respon-
sible for the campaign to induce men
10 vote for prosperity by voting
for a protective tariff.
The only thing protective tariff
can do is to keep foreign products
out of the United States. That is
what these fanatics want to do. And
our bankers and financiers are Just
at their wits end to devise means to
keep prices UP and business normal
in the United States, in view of the
fact that while the foi ei2n dem ANA
for American products is greater
;han ever, foreign surplus production
has so far fallen Off on account of
the war that the foreigner has moth
ing to send us in return, and is COM
PEELED either to pay us out or his
constantly decreasing hoard of cash,
II get us to give him credit. That
$500, 1000 Anglo-French war loan
which we have had so much trouble
tc raise is simply extending credit
France, when, under normal circum-
stances, they would have sent us
goods to that amount to pay for what
we sent them. We are confronted
With the NEST serious international
trade crisis in our history, and it is
crisis arising solely out OF the fact
that the foreigner cannot furnish,
md we cannot get, the amount of
foreign goods necessary to normal
and natural trade.
To propose to cure business disor-
Ganization which has arisen from
such a cause by imposing a protec-
tive tariff and still further reducing
the amount of foreign shipments to
this country is like proposing to cure
suffocation by a tight band around
the throat.
To-day with American bankers,
merchants, manufacturers and states
men racking their brains to prevent
irreparable harm to our commerce
and industry through the collapse of
values which threatens because our
customers overseas haven't anything
to trade us for what they want, a set
of political leaders who propose to
lead us "back to prosperity" by max
ing it still harder for foreign goods
to be sent to us to pay what the mon
eyless foreigner owes US ought to be
examined for softening of the brain.

THE THRESHOLD OF PROSPER
lT1.

In the business world it is an open
secret that prosperity is here. The
Republic recently gave publicity to
the fact that the three largest whole
sale dry goods houses in st. Louis
had the largest months business in
their history in September. The re-
yival Of the shoe trade is familiar to
st. Louisans. Steel is becoming
scarce. The demand of the war nlu-
milton industry upon manufacturing
facilities is making itself felt; far
seeing hardware jobbeIs ordering
goods today which cannot be daliv-
cred for months to come. Farmers
are getting good prices for their cot
ton and their wheat. All over the
country there is to be observed Z
stimulus to business of the kind that
always follows period OF enforced
economies, restricted buying and
thrift, such period as began when
the effects of our greatly reduced
1913 harvest first made themselves
feet, and has been greatly prolonged
by the war. We are just at the
Threshold of the greatest prosperity
OF the new century.-St. Louis Re-
public.

: MIGHTY CHILDISH GAME.

It is strange about that Underwood
tariff-passing strange. 1t is bad
tariff: it is responsible for the pres
ent hard times; it is drying up our
revenues; the decrease Of imports to
such an extent that we have to lend
England and France cool half bill
lion in order to balance exchanges
has no relation to the war, which has
closed shops and factories IN those
countries, but is all attributed to the
tariff. The Underwood law, in fact
in the hysterical republican press, Is
a sort of combination Of the plague,
the grasshopper, the II year locust,
the boil wevil, the foot and mouth
disease-especially prevalent among
republican orators-and the upas
tree in the Valley Of Hinnom. And
vet we cannot get any OF the enemy
to point out anything that is the mat
ter with it.
Let us speak seriously for a mo-
ment. If the charges against the
Underwood tariff were true, the re-
publican press would reek with spec
ific criticisms of the wool schedule.
the cotton schedule, the metals
schedule, the lumber schedule, and
SO on. We should not be able to get
away from the moving accounts OF
industries which have suspended be-
cause of changes in the market dl-
rectly attributable to tariff change.
And republican statesmen-particu-
larly those of experience in the max
ing of republican tariff schedules
would be prolific of suggestions as
to the revision necessary in order to
give relief at the points of the great
est pressure on industry. Not only is
this not now the case, but when re-
publican senator with the courage of
his convictions proposes to bring in
new tariff bill there is general
cutlery that this would not, do at all.
The republicans know that the I'm
derwood tariff has done no harm.
They know-if they knew any fin
ance at all-that in it's first year it
yielded $22,0O0,0O0 more than the
estimates of it's trainers, and that In
it's second year it fell short only 81 -
100000. They don't know, for the
life of them, what they would do to
it if they had the chance. They do
not dare to say how they would re-
wise the wooden and cotton schedules.
and for adult men, they are playing
a mighty childish game.-St. Louis
