In the Senate late in December. 1873.
Ordinary men could not have raised
1t 10 such climax OF interest; but
the men engaged were not ordinary
men.
1t was not Mr.. Benton's hot protest
that the men of New England should
be always jealous Of the growth and
prosperity Of the West that caught the
ear Of the country: II was the speeches
of Mr.. Hayne. Of South Carolina. and
Mr.. Webster. of Massachusetts.
The debate. as they handled IL.
swung abroad over the whole ground
OF the many closely related topics
which lay upon the borders of the
immediate question II concerned.
Mr.. Hayne was OF the extreme school
of South Carolina. and took occasion
to expound ut length the doctrine of
that school had SO lately perfected.
1t was out of the question. he said,
that u State. when wronged by an ex-
ercise OF federal power. should leave
the decision of the matter Of right
entirely to the Supreme Court Of the
United States. part and organ of the
very government whose power was
challenged.
The constitution was a compact. he
maintained. the Union q free partner
ship; States must stand ever upon the
ground of the Kentucky and Virginia
resolutions and effect their own pro-
lection against deliberate and palpa-
BILE excesses of power.
Mr.. Webster as fearlessly took the
extreme ground of the opposite view.
II was this splendid audacity on
either side that quickened the pulses
Of all who listened. this hardy. in

analysis-and that issue nothing less

Any assumption that the State Department re-
fuses to furnish the German Embassy with reasons
for its demand for the recall of Boyd and Won
Papen simply because it might provide Germany
with basis for resisting that demand is evidently
without justification. The government is not re-
quired to give reasons. and its officials have at last
reached the point where they arc not so deeply
concerned about how Berlin will regard their ac-
tons as they are for the national safety and honor.

The plan seemed difficult one, but
both the girls agreed that it was the
only possible solution. The boys met
rather sulkily at first, and glowered
at each other. But the girls had in
sisted upon their shaking hands and
forgetting the past, except for GER
tain necessary restraint between
John and Peggy and Harold and
Lefty.
The days went by and still nobody
had made a move If John Ford was
turning toward his former love he
gave no evidence Of it. He was al
ways courteous to Peggy, but he
stayed at Letty's side, while Harold
could not be sufficiently attentive to
Peggy. And the four were to be mar

but the chief difficulty had lain in the |
fact that John had always stuck to |
his fiancee's side and Harold to his. |

ened each of the girls. Suppose she
chose the wrong man, making the
discovery after marriage instead of
before! Lefty knew that she would
do something desperate unless she
could find out, while Peggy dreamed
of running away. -
Neither knew her own mind and
neither dared hint anything to her
sweetheart.
The boys arrived in due course,
and the stroll down town was dis
NAL repetition of many such stroIls.
Peggy was desperately unhappy and,
to crown her woe, the boys obstin-
ately refused to join in the game of
general post" which had been de-
vised. Harold sat down with Peggy
and John with Lefty.
Both girls were crying silently in
the dark theater, not watching the

screen at all 1t was too dreadful
Now the last chance had gone by.
Suddenly kissing sound was
heard and then a bright white fame
shot up from the operators box over
head.
''Firep' screamed somebody.
Instantly the theater was in panic.
Peggy felt herself knocked from her
seat. A man was trampling on her.
Women were screaming. She tried to
flee, but, jammed in the crowd, she
fell to the ground in a half-swoon.
Suddenly she felt herself lifted in
a mans arms. He raised her as light
" as if she were a child and, holding
her before him, fought his way
through the happily diminishing
press. When the girl opened her eyes
she was lying outside and somebody
was bending over her.
1t was John, and Peggy twined her
arms about his neck and chung to
him. His kisses were warm upon her
lips. .

because of the cruelty, carelessness and IN
difference of so many men, it is also true
that the women have taken great deal Of
trouble, III many cases, to bring about this
condition.
We will never have any better conditions,
until women again assume and hold to, all
the things which relate to the home and
the care of children; we have had too much
OF the parental form of government in all
the larger cities which have tried to estab-
hsh the substitute for the home and the
mother, and this has come about through
the tremendous amount of immigration
which we have stood for, as people.
The European immigrant comes primarily
as wage-earner; men and women are
brought here, not with any idea of making
this country the home for their future
children, but to use those children as an
asset for more money-making, the end being
to return to the "Old Country" with the
money made; they are quite willing to turn
the care of the children, until they are
wage-earners over to the municipality, UNI
der whatever name it chooses to assume the
responsibility. The municipality is filled
with members who realize the enormous
sums to be made out Of "organized charitv."
and the immigrant the charity brokers, and
the grafters are so closely correlated, it is
hard to tell where the one begins to benefit
NEST.
It is a noticeable fact that the great ma

likely to hasten the day when they may
demand more money for their work, assume
less of the responsibilities of the home. and
HE them back, as prospective landowners,
to the land that refused them anything but
a bare living.
AS to the women Of ''the higher class"
whose names were prominent for 50 long in
the suffrage movement, it has been too often
and too clearly shown that they were fad
dists, pure and SIMPLE and their interest
Waned as soon as their pictures and their
speeches were crowded off the front page by
the European war.

fearlessly as Mrs, Harris has, more women
