Somehow he guessed Burtons iden-

coded her dramatic departure from the
farm. He knew, too. that he and the
girl were the victims of a woman's
vengeance. Still. putting bold front
on matters. he beloved a demand for
an explanation. John did not answer
but gaZed sadly at Jessie Simms. whose
fo:titude promptly deserted her. be-
cause she hid her flushed face in her
hands and began sobbing.
I've nothing to say" he announced at

 When the present reform war began Tn Mexico, We could have prevented tha tuin of that coun- try with a very little encourage ment of the Diaz government, which we knew was the best the country had ever had. But We not only neglected to do this, but rather encouraged the revolution- ists.

THE REAL TERROR THAT THREATENS US IS NOT
 WAR BUT PENSIONS.


 seventeen men in the Philippines, three in Porto Rico, and 273 in l Cuba. About 38, GOO American soldiers participated in that war, and twenty-nine thousand of them already draw pensions; rom 1848 to 1915, we had aI- ready paid fifty million dollars in pensions on account of the Span ish- American war. And pay ments on this account will con tinue for certainly thirty or for ty years, and steadily increase.
 Is 1t any wonder that the peo- pie are becoming nervous becau- se of the shiftlessness and dis ] honesty which characterize our public affairs?
 The tendency is to greatly in- crease pensions. From 1776 to 1906, we paid only seventy mill ion dollars to Revolutionary sol diers; but We have already paid nearly five billion dollars in pen sions on account of the Mexican war.
 Then came the Civil war, and another increase: last year we paid pensions amounting to more than $l65, 000,0 ,000 on this account fifty years after the close of the war.
 We are spending money with equal lavishness in many other departments. At this rate, how long before bankruptcy stares us in the face, as a result of simp- le shiftlessness, sentimentality, and the extravaganza which al- ways accompanies these bad habits?
 Three. quarters of those who engaged in the Spanish-Ameri- can war are drawing pensions at the end of seventeen years
 Seventenths of these pension CTS are not entitled to pensions; in securing most of them, per jury and trickery were resorted to-
 And think what will happen if we increase our army to four hundred thousand men, and it engages in other wars as un- necessary and foolish as was the Spanish-American war
 What we have to fear in an in. creased army Is not the imme- diate cost; the real terror is the future cost of pensions, and the riot of patriotism and fraud that characterizes the pension depart ment. And thlS pension money does not come out of the air, whenever there is an approprla- ton, there must be another tax paid by tax payers already over burdened.
 The swiss have military sys tem Which is ample, ineXpen- siye, and certainly effective The system encourages thrift arc proper development among young men; 1t is noted for com mon sense, efficiency and econo my. But it does not include eX pensiye and useless forts: the sol diers are trained in the field, and live as soldiers would live in case of war. There are no swag gering officers in the Swiss sys- tenn; all officers are advanced from the ranks by a simplesmer- it system. But have you heard anyone advocating the Swiss sys- tenn? Probably you 1 have not heard it mentioned, except il conecton with statements that will not do.
 Why wont it do? For no oth er reason than it is inexpensive, practical and sensible; because ll would actually mean maximum Preparedness at the minimum of expense. and almost entirely. cut out dishonest pensions.
