make his protest against the liquor
traffic in the prayer meeting or by his
manner of life, but If he would really
tell the government. as well as the
Lord and the people, that he wants
the saloon closed, there is but one
method by which he can be recoR'

his opinion can declare itself, and
his conviction makes itself felt, and
that law and method are fulfilled when

rain trickling clammily down the back Of
his neck, he stopped and retrieved the
trophy.
The wrapping Of coarse yellow paper
fell aside, revealing sheaf of fresh, crisp
bank-notes, surcingled by broad strap
OF paper fastened with bank-pin. The
topmost bill was of the denomination OF
hundred dollars. AS nearly as Morgan
could estimate, there were about twenty
of them. For a moment he surveyed
them stupidity, stunned.
The rapid steps Of a hurrying pedestrian
recalled him sharply to his senses Wide
eyed and breathing rapidly, he thrust the
bills into the side pocket Of his coat; hesi-
tated, wavered, and went slowly on to
the entrance Of the hotel. The doorman,
eyeing his draggled clothing contemptu-
ously, suffered him to proceed. At that
instant, in the vortex of his emotions,
Morgan recalled that every doorman in
the city of Boston had once called him
by name.

company disgorged into the sod

of fully three hundred clerks. One of them
was Harvard graduate. Because it was
raining gloomily, and because, too, dis
couragement lay heavy upon his heart, he
felt more than usual the need of human
companionship so that he buttoned tight
his coat collar, dragged his soft hat over
his eyes, and waited, dripping for the Am
herst man who had room in the same
boarding-house across town and liked to
walk home with him.
Other clerks, lighting inexpensive ciga-
rettes under shield Of their umbrellas,
cheerfully accused him Of lettering for a
pretty stenographer; and Morgan grinned
mechanically, as he had learned to grin
when youths of inferior social position, q

twitted him on his university or his per-
sonal appearance or his habits.
.Bookkeepers and local salesmen, acutely
conscious of their exalted rank, passed by,
nodding diffidently without condescend-

that one calendar year ago not even the
president left him ungreeted in the Yard,
smiled inwardly in resentful bitterness.

the house-owner can use
the money to better ad-

business or other invest

is only a small one there is
no difficulty in having it re-
newed. Another important
point is that a house can be
sold more easily with a

Considers Socialist Legislation.

Considers Socialist Legislation.
Washington, April GA mammoth
insurance fund, to draw from which
the only requirements are that one
is ill, too old TO work or honestly can't
get a job, is under consideration by
the House labor committee today.
Representative Meyer London, New
York Socialist, is sponsor for the fund.
He wants it to guarantee workingmen
against unemployment.
Mr.. London's proposal, the first of
it's kind that has been considered by
congressional committee, instructs
the president to appoint a commission
of two organized labor representatives,
with the secretary of labor as chair
man.
The commission is to draft a gen.
eral social insurance act along the lines
indicated and report within year to
the president plan to reduce unem-
ployment by furnishing work on pub
lie improvements and developing natu-
raj resources on public lands. This,
London's resolution says, would re-
duce calls on the fund.
DR.. l. M. Rubinow of New York, au-
thor of a book on social insurance,
was an early witness before the COM
mittee at its opening session today.

No Border Patrol.


San Diego, April 6.-That conditions
in Lower California do not warrant
the patrol of the border by United
States troops is the opinion of Gen.
eral Bell, commander of that depart
ment of California, expressed in a con-
fident mood this morning with Mayor
Capps and Chief of Police Wilson.
General Bell expressed confidence in
the ability of General Cantu, governor
Of Lower California, to maintain peace
below the border.
Following the conference it was an
nounced that no orders to troops here
will be given at this tine.
Mayor Capps later announced that
the city council will be asked to ap-
prove plans for organization of COM
pany of minute men. The company
will be made of a total of 10 men,
divided into squads of 10 each, and
provided with rifles by the city. It
is intended, according to the chief, to
arrange for autos so that the men can
be dispatched to scenes of trouble
along the border in quick time.

Demands Exceed Supplies.

Columbus, April 6.-The present
transport facilities are becoming in
adequate, as the demands from the
army far exceed the supplies, which
are being rushed south. There are
200 trucks in commission, but they re-
quire from six to eight days to make
the round trip to the front, 800 miles
from the border.
The cry from the interior for more
supplies is so insistent that General
Funston's attention has been called
to it. The situation soon will be ex-
tremely serious.
Imperial Valley press., 1916-04-06
Withdrawal Is Considered.

Washington, April Washington
is greatly stirred over the suggestion
that the troops shall be withdrawn
from Mexico, and it appears that on
this question there may be raised one
of the greatest controversies of recent
times.
There is no intimation from the ad-
ministration that this is to be done
at once, but the fact is recalled that
at the time of the entrance on Mex
ican soil President Wilson stated most
emphatically that there would not be
intervention, and the restlessness of
the Mexicans is beginning to cause
most serious apprehension that if the
troops are not withdrawn conflict with
the Mexican nation may follow.
But with the mere thought of with
drawal without having either captured
of killed Villa, there is most stren-
Lous demand being heard that at any
cost the pursuit be continued until its
purpose is achieved. 1t is held that
to withdraw the troops at this time
would show a weakness that would
be disastrous to Americans in Mexico,
while it would be an invitation for
further brigandage that would bring
renewal of the chaotic condition of
recent years.
There is no doubt that intimations
are coming to Washington from many
Mexican sources that the presence OF
American soldiers in that country is
not desired, and the administration
cannot long let this question remain
undecided, it is believed here.
