ium at Mount Vernon, Mo. The
furniture and fixtures mention
ed become the property of the
Sanatorium at the close of the
San Francisco Exposition on De-
cember 4th. Mrs. Eaton ac-
companied the Doctor on the

Business conditions through
out the country, as a whole,
were never in finer shape, and
they continue to grow better, ac-
cording to Dunn's and other con
sentative trade journals. But
our old standpat politicians are
not satisfied; they would rather
see everything going back
ward instead of forward, and
are trying to convince them
selves and the people that such
is the case, all for the sake of a
little party clap-trap they inn
agine is to be gained by such
talk. But like the old woman
who tried to sweep back the
waves of the sea with a broom,
their efforts are futile. What
the people see and feel they
know and are not to be fooled,
We suggest to our calamitous
standpatters that they recall
one Of their old campaign cries,
LET well enough alone" and be.

Preparedness Of the govern
ment against possible outside
assault might be compared in q
measure to fire insurance. To
insure ones home against fire
is not to invite a confagration,
neither is defensive prepared
ness on the part Of the govern
ment an indication that it wants
to fight, and no government not
bent on belligerency will so re-
gard it.

"A SCHOOL NECESSITY


Winter is coming on and with
it the recurrence of an old ques-
ton in relation to the heating,
of the South Ward school build
ing. There are four large rooms
in this building with only one
stove, and a place for only one
stove in each. In very cold
weather they are inadequately
heated, and it is next to impos-
sible to keep up a uniform tenn
perature in them, while the hall
ways are chilly and cold at all
times.
Think what a menace is this
condition to the health, to say
nothing of the comfort, of the
children who attend school in
these rooms, which are crowded
more than those Of the other
school buildings, which are uni
formly heated with steam, and
ask yourself the question if
this ought not to be remedied,
and that at once? The only way
to remedy it is to install a fur
mace and steam heating appa-
ratus in the building. The dis
trict owes this much to the pa
irons whose children are com
PEELED to attend the South Ward
school, and it owes it to the
children whose comfort and
health are placed in jeopardy.
But the Board of School Direc-
tors hasn't the money at it's
command with which to make
this urgently necessary improve
ment. The revenue of the dis
trict is barely ample to pay reg
ular public school expenses.
Indeed the Board has had to Dor
row funds on the individual re-
sponsibility of its members to
pay teachers salaries, etc, I'M
til the taxes are collected for the
current year, and turned over to
the district. It has no authori-
ty to incur Indebtedness to in
stall a furnace and therefore can
do nothing to relieve the situa-
ton at the South Ward school
building.
Then what may be done?
There are two ways that might
be suggested: One is to call a
special election to vote a tax for
this purpose. Another is for the
generously inclined people Of the
district to try to raise q sufi-
Gent sum Of money by subscrip-
ton or otherwise. It will take.
about $1,000 to install a heating
plant, and such a movement
would test the public spirit Of
the people of the district rs well
as their concern for the welfare
and comfort Of the children. The
possible saving Of one child |
from a severe spell Of illness or
saving its life would more than
compensate for any money sac
rifice they would have to make.

M. Hensley and Preparedness.

district is quoted In an inter-
view from Washington as being
skeptical of the Presidents pro-
posed preparedness and defense
plans. He says he is willing to
be shown that increases in the
strength of the navy and army
are necessary, but is disposed to
adhere to the idea that any in
crease will invite trouble rather
than insure against it; also that
he doesn't believe any of the ma
tions engaged in the present
European war viii care to attack
the United States at the conclu-
sion of their fight.
AS to the latter observation,
we don't suppose any one else,
except it may be a few alarm
lists, believes or anticipates any
such thing. If there were such
a belief or feeling among the
people, they would demand the
organization Of an efficient fight
ing force large enough to meet
such an attack. The small in
crease in the army proposed
would be but poor defense
against an invasion by any one
of the greater powers of Europe,
once they had passed our navy
and coast defenses. The purpose
of the policy of preparedness
outlined by the President is the
training of a sufficient number
of officers, disciplined men and
sailors to meet the first shock Of
any assault that might possibly
be made against us as a nation
and hold it in check until an adj
equate army could be enlisted,
modified and placed in the
field.
The United States is not an
aggressive nation, it has no pol
icy of territorial expansion and
conquest, and may always be de-
pended upon to go to the utmost
length of peaceful diplomacy to
avoid a clash with any other ma
ton, strong or weak. 1t has Civ
en- every evidence Of it's attitude
in this matter, and other nations
are aware of our peaceful incli-
nations and would never regard
policy Of initiative prepared
ness on our part as a covert
threat or invitation to fight us.
Yet the fact remains that the
United States is one of the great
est commercial nations of the
world, and that wars of the pres
ent age may be attributed more
largely to national commercial
ambitions, jealousies and greed,
than any other cause. Take any,
of the wars of the past century,
analyze their causes, and it will
be found that national CONNER
cial supremacy has been one of
their most potent incentives.
Expansion and conquest of terri
tory has been but a corollary of |
the greed of commercial suprem-
acy, and so long as this spirit
dominates the world there is dan
ger of war. Even the United |
for it is not immune from
this baneful influence, doesn't |
know when its rights upon the
high sea may be interferred |
with, or boundary disputes and
troubles may arise, that will
strain the honor of the nation
and tax the most conscientious
efforts of our wisest diplomats
to the utmost to preserve peace.
Is it not the part of wisdom,
therefore, for our government to
practical and efficient
military foundation upon which
a citizen soldiery may be organ
lied and fitted for defense?
There is no militarism about
this, in the sense which the term
applies to Germany and other
governments of monarchial char

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Sisters Story.

If she hesitated outside the room to
summon the courage to face the man
who would demand so much of her,
there was nothing in her manner now
to indicate that such had been the
case. She approached him without
symptom of nervousness or irresoIu-
ton. Her dark eyes met his without
wavering and there was purpose in
them.
She devoted a single glance of sur
prise to the uncurtained window on en-
tering the door and an instant later
scrutinized the floor with unmistakabie
interest as if expecting to find some
thing there to account for his motive
in admitting the glare of light-some-
thing to confound and accuse her. But
there was no fear or apprehensiveness
in the look. She was not afraid.
Brood remained standing, little be-
yond the broad ray of light, expecting
her to advance into its full, revealing
glare. She stopped, however, in the
shadow opposite. 1t was he who moved
forward into the light, and there was a
deep searching look in his eyes. In an
instant it was gone; he had satisfied
himself The curious experience of the
morning had been a phantasm, an IL
lusion. a mockery. There was moth
ing in this woman's smoldering eyes
to suggest the soft, luminous lowell
ness of Matilde's- ~ He drew a long
deep breath of relief.

that time he had barred his soul to the
smirking Buddha and, receiving no
consolation from the SNUG image, had
violently cursed the thing. Since then
he had waited-he had waited for
many things to happen. He knew all
that took place below stairs He knew
when Lydia came and he denied him
self to her. The coming of the police,
the nurses and the anesthetician, and
later on, Mrs. John Desmond and the
reporters-all this he had known, for
he had listened at crack in the open
door. And he had heard his wife's
calm, authoritative voice in the hall be-
low, giving directions. Now for the
first time he looked about him and felt
himself attended by ghosts. In that
instant he came to hate this once-loyed
room, this cherished retreat, and all
