THE MAN WHO DARED

means. Z
Love has its lawless moments

II spoke of some tremendous crisis
in the girls life. And it delayed,
too, my confession of love.
She had avoided any explana-
ton, and for two weeks after
ward would not permit me to
call for her, assigning reasons so
vague that l knew them to be
spurious.
Then suddenly she surrendered
to my opportunities with pathetic
eagerness. And under the spell
of her presence the whole Incl
dent seemed to me insignificant.
Thus We CROPPED toward each
others inner selves, through sem
timental torments, alternately
rearing and leveling barriers of
distrust. / was soon to look back
at this period of my life as sur
prisingly boyish, as a bewilder-
ment. My blindness to things
that should have been apparent
to a man of mature experience
now seems scarcely believable.
Anna, too, seemed profoundly
perplexed.
l think her discovery that she
was losing her heart was an amaz-
ing realization. It was evident
that she tried to battle against It;
that she succImbed only against
her will, slowly, fearfully, as a de-
corous maid might surrender to a
half-concealed temptation after
much tantaliZing.
Once surrendered, however, her
emotions grew tempestuously.
1t was when, once again, we
sat on the cliff in Sutro's garden,
that the last passionate revelation
of scruples against her love came
In a burst of weeping.
Her hand rested placidly in
mine. We watched the steamer
Yale move gracefully southwark
under a slanting sun. An uncoAth
lumber schooner for San Pedro
followed. Out on the horizon an
Oriental liner hung it's smoke
dragon. And close at our feet,
In garrulous contrast, a dozen
sparrows wrangled. Never had
we seemed more in accord, more
at peace.
Then without warming she slid
down off the bench, placed her
head upon my knees and wept ter
ribly. Nor could l console her un-
til the paroxysm had passed and
she had resumed her seat beside
me.
What is it, Anna; can't you

"and that nothing else matters?
THAT'S exactly IL, John"
she responded quickly, with n
timid smile. "As IL we two
were alone I'm all the world,
and IL was IA young, green,

birds and flowers and"
"Witbout any ugly pitt
falls" l added.
"Yes, that's it,"
But" argued, "then
we'd be like the original
lovers who were innocent
fools and were run out of the
Garden with a flaming sword.
Simple human strength and
tolerance and kindness and
satisfaction comes from
climbing out of the pitfalls;
scraping off the muck; salv-
ing each others wounds;
cropping on without bitter
ness; working and sweating
and grinning when we're
hurt - that's better than

II have seen some ugly things,
| responded. I've seen 'em IL
Alaska mining camps, in Manila
Calcutta, Mexico City and in SaI
Francisco; in dens and drawing
rooms, and the latter were the
ugliest because they masqueradet
as beauty and wholesomeness."
"And what" she asked,
with wide eyes and white
face, "dO you think of ugly
women, you know what /
mean; those who have fallen
into the mire?"
"Well," l replied truthful
~, ~ have never been able to
feel so much better or supe-
rior to them that l could see
only their ugliness."
She began to laugh Historically
And just then the caretaker, will

cliff with gentle admonition

He watched us until we hat

Anna, calm again; The only car

With full realization that I
loved Anna Sterling, my concern
as to her identity became a deep
urge. At times was on the point
OF ascertaining by stealth where
she worked and who her every
day associates were. Then my
sense of loyalty would restrain
the wild impulse.
Indeed. 1t became battle with
me whether to wait for Anna to
unmask the mystery in which she

AN EXPLODED ALIBI

For a long time after the pass
age of the Underwood free trade
tariff the Schoolmaster and his
coadjutors Indignantly denied that
times were hard or that there had
been any interruption to prosper
ity. Now, however, they admit
general depression, stagnation and
unemployment, but they lay it to
the European war; The fact is,
times were dreadfully bad before
the war broke out, and have been,
to some extent, made better be-
cause of decreasing imports OF
competitive goods and increasing
exports of few lines of domestic
production. The free trade alibi
has broken down. The tariff IS
the guilty party.
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1915-04-24
deficiency TAXES" DUE
TO TARIFF

When Europe went to war last
summer and our Congress was
called upon to levy new taxes,
though we were not at war and
not at all likely to be, it seemed
natural to speak of them as war
taxes" as a burden put upon is
by Europe's war.
Some who strive for accuracy
in language objected to the term
then. However, President Wilson
in his special message to Congress
ascribed the necessity oil these
new taxes to the European var,
and boldly challenged the od 'wn
supposed to attach to war taxes
by making the term his own.
Time has proved thac Mr.. WI.
son was somewhat in ar The
new tariff law having now been
in effect Is months, it is pos :. 'e
to make accurate comparisons
showing the relative effects upon
the national income of the war
and of the Democratic tariff

Nations Daily Balance Sheets.

which compares with the present
effects of the war as 8 to 7.
Therefore it is plain that tn,
new taxes were mainly made nee
essary by tariff change, and b,
appropriations of Congress, will
little regard to the effects of tina
change. Hence the Herald, il

that they be hereafter referred

JUST ON THE EVE"

For eighteen months we have
been told by the free trade press
that we are just ION the eve OF
the greatest prosperity the worll
has ever known" Now they are
telling us that the mines are run
ming about 90 per cent of their
capacity, the blast furnaces are
running at about SIS per cent Of
their capacity. These figures arc
based on the way they were run
ming under "robber tariff" Then
the cry was for more cars to han
die the stuff, the railroads couldn't
handle the products; under free
trade we have a string of empty
railroad cars over 1000 miles
long-Collinsville (Ala.) Courier

ANOTHER CASE FOR
DIR. REDFIELD

The Association of Silk Manu-
facturers of the United States,
while considering that the general
conditions of its trade are neither
as bad or as good as they might
be and on the whole justiFylng a
feeling of hope, declares that the
difficulties with which it has to
contend and which are handicap
ping its efforts are chiefly do
mestic, traceable but indirectly 10
the war in Europe, and composed
principally to the extent OF nom
employment in the United States
and the consequent decrease of
buying power, and the underlying
timidity of business due to the
fear of disturbing legislation.
Here is another psychological
case for DR.. Redfeld. The war
has not negatived the operations
of the Underwood tariff law in the
case of the silk manufacturers,
and has brought about an in
creased dumping of foreign made
silks at low prices, which have
come in competition with home
products, but the chief factor ii
the depression of the industry is
the curtailment of home conSunlp-
ton. The American people have
not been buying-silks or any
commodity, for that natter
usual quantity. This brings the
diagnosis directly to the state OF
mind for which DR.. Wilson and
DIR. Redheld have so frequently
prescribed.
Possibly the silk manufacturers
are as mistaken or as incompetent
as the New Jersey pottery men
or the Montgomery manufacture
ers of all classes were found to
be as a result of the Redfeld ex
aminations. If the people are not
buying there is something wrong
with the American system of pro-
duction and distribution, accord
ing to the theories of the admin
itsration school, but the silk man
ufacturers are yet to be taught

THE PRICE OF NEW
FREEDOM

When President Wilson ven
lures to refer to the unsatisfactory
condition of business he airlly dis
misses the subject by ascribing
depression to a state OF MIND
When Secretary of Commerce
Redheld touches upon hard times
in American productive enter
prises he charges up everything
to inefficiency and mismanage-
ment. When the average defend
err of the Democratic faith is
speaking of such matters he places
entire responsibility for the diff
culties of capital and labor in the
United States upon the European
war.
None of these factors, however,
can explain away the summary OF
results as to the United States
Steel Corporations operations
for 1914. Take the item OF en-
ployes and wages alone: In 1913,
during nine months of which the
Republican tariff was operative,
there was an average of 1855
more employees than in 1914, dur
ing all of which year the Under
wood Democratic tariff was in
force. Last year the corporation
paid out S44,826,269 less in wages
and salaries than in 1913, although
there was an average increase per
day per man. Yet it is safe to say
there is no concern less influenced
by state of mind than the Uni
ted States Steel, and certainly
there is no more efficiently man
ned and managed institution in
the country:-Pittsburgh Gazette
Times.

WILL BE FOLLOWED BY
EXHAUSTION

The New York Evening Sun,
in a recent issue says: mo war
has ever before so deranged
finance, commerce and industry
none has ever cost so much in
money, and the end is not IN
sight. If continued upon the pres
ent scale for another twelvemonth
it may result in national bank
ruptcy for half dozen countries
and perhaps more. Neutral ma
tions in no wise connected with
the questions at issue, have been
forced to unusual expenditures
and suffer great economic losses
equally with the belligerents.
Whatever advantages may be de-
rived from this reversion to bar
barism can be but temporary, for
the one certain thing about the
war is that the world is growing
poorer in men and money with
each day of its continuance.
"As to the position in which
the war will leave the world and
this country in particular there
is ample room for divergent opirl-
ions.
Long before the war so high
an authority as Paul LIE Roy Boil
lieu asserted that leading nations
of Europe were well on their way
to general insolvency, and the
contest has accelerated the move
ment in that direction for many
of them.
"That peace will be followed
by an interval of exhaustion as
the result of the awful loss OF life,
expenditures and dimin-
ished purchasing power of various
stricken communities is self-evi-
dent. Even should the contest
end in the general disarmament
the burden of taxes will be enor-
nous. Of course, some of the
property destroyed will have to
be replaced and that will result in
a demand for materials and labor,
but the stimulus is likely to be OF
a temporary rather than of an
enduring character, and if former
wars are any criterion the law of
compensation will find expression
in a period of industrial contrac-
ton or in financial unsettlement
at some future date"
Yerington times. [volume] (Yerington, Nev.) 1907-1932, 1915-04-24

If business men were convinced
that the same causes that brought
distress before the war would not
prolong distress after the war we
might look for a notable revival
but they are not so convinced.
They have the same distrust Of
the tariff and of experiments in
business regulation. Before per-
manent improvement will come
+ fear must be removed and conf
dence restored. The war is only
partial factor.-Wilkesbarre
