his former abruptnees: Have you no
idea who this Mrs. Averill Isl or why
she broke into my house?"
There's but one explanation. sir.
I've been thinking about it ever since
got wind OF where she took my
Peggy. The woman is not responsible.
She has some sort of mania. Why
else should she go into a strange gate
Just because she saw 1t open?"
"You speak of her as stranger.
Are you quite sure that she is a
stranger to Shelby? You have not
been SO very many years here. and
her constant wearing of a veil indoors
and out is very suspicious"
so I'm beginning to think. And
there is something else. Judge, which
makes me suspect you may be quite
correct about her not being an entire
stranger here. She knows this house

everyone at all conversant with
international trade conditions. Natu-
rally the republics of the western
hemisphere are no exception. Every
one of them has felt the disastrous eff
fects, but not in equal nor even in
proportionately equal measure. Nearly
all of them have experienced a large
diminution in their export trade, and
consequently decrease in purchasing
power and a resultant diminution in
their imports. One remarkable ex-
ception is the Dominican Republic,
says the Bulletin of the Pan-American
union. THAI little country enjoys the
distinction of having sold more of
its products, in point of value, to the
outside world during the year 1914
than 1t did during 1913. The in
s11s.S40, but that it should have in
creased its sales at all is an astound-
ing fact. Its purchases from other ma
tions during the year were consider
ably less, but the net result is that
the country has made n material
financial gain.
The Dominican Republic is one of
the smallest OF the American repub-
lies. with an area OF about 1895
square miles. This is nearly equal
TO the combined areas OF New Hamp-
shire and Vermont. 1t has a popula-
tiop of between six and seven hundred
thousand inhabitants. Haiti is the

CANDIDATES MUST BE BEGGARS

Frank B. Kellogg has declined to for the United
States senate stating among other that he is
"'not willing seek the office, beg for votes, to
ganze self seeking campaign with personal workers in
every precinct and county of the state"
His refusal has already started profitable discussion
of this manifest weakness of primary awthat the
people have opportunity to call to Office but
that he himself brazeny proclaim his virtues in the
mad scramble for votes.
The candidates for state office must build political
organization complete the organization of potia
party and the doing of this involves expense which
of moderate afford Furthermore he must
and trim every public question that by some
means he may be selected
The easiest way to gain cheap popular favor is to
"knock'' unpopular law institution official be-
people united in opposition to certain
thing than can agree on a constructive remedy
Politicians not slow to discover this fact and for
that practically every candidate is elected his
promise reform. One hundred may agree that
certain thing should be reformed and yet be hopeless
divided how should be reformed, and at the next
election arises reform the reformers In this
way political contests degenerate into the most mis-
cradle of squabbles.
1t little WONDER therefore, that the of ability
and integrity avoid the expense and the humiliation OF
seeking public Office.

Public Spirit is Essential

Public spirit is essential force in town and COM
munity building. Public spirit is mighty power that
will accomplish almost anything. 1t is dynamic force
that practically irresistible. Let the citizens of town
community make up their minds to better conditions
and the work will be done. The towns that have made
the greatest the past and the towns that will
make the greatest progressive strides in the future the
towns whose citizens take united stand for better
things. It is the spirit that wins. No man, two
three men, accomplish very much in program Of
building The spirit must be practically unanimous
1t takes concerted actionand then there is practically
limit to what town may achieve.-Winnebago City

Now it is said that Minnesota needs much smaller
legislature but cannot get because the legislature will
submit such constitutional amendment to the people.
The mputation that the members of the legislature who
would refuse to vote for such amendment would there
fore be acting from selfish motives is farfetched 1t takes
anyway two years to pass constitutional amendment and
if it passed, the work of reapportionment would
still have to be done. By the time the change really
accomplished all the members of the legislature first sub
hitting the change would have lost all desire to in

less OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Again Tonight.

In his third lecture on Catholic
doctrine to be given at the South
Bend High school auditorium this
evening at s O'Clock. Rev. Bertrand
L. Conway will speak on The
Papacy." This is a subject on which
Father Conway delivered no formal
sermon during his course here last
fan. but IL is a subject concerning
which he receives many questions. II
is expected, therefore, that this Will
be one OF his most interesting talks.
Conduct, not dogma, is the new
watchword. The true Christian is to
initiate the virtues Of Christ and to
care absolutely nothing about his d.
vinity. the doctrines he preached, the
divine government he founded or the
divine worship he established"
This is Father COnways definition
Of creedless Christianity as given last
evening in his lecture on that subject
before a large audience OF Catholics
and non-Catholics in the high school
auditorium. Father conway was in
troduced by David l. GuilfOyle. Be-
fore opening his lecture he spent half
an hour answering questions concern
ing the Catholic faith and practice
which had been handed him during
the day. After a piano solo by Miss
Maud Weber he began the lecture Of
