 I don't need warrants to make arrests. Lengstreth, you're ignorant of the power of Texas Rangers
 You'll come none of your damned ranger stunts out here. I'll block you"
 That passionate reply of Long streth's was the signal Duane had been waiting for He had helped on the crisis. He wanted to force Long streth's hand and show the town his stand.
 Duane backed clear of everybody.

 Duane paused in his cold. ringing speech. In the silence, both outside and inside the hall, could be heard the deep breathing of agitated men. Longstreth was indeed study Yet cid he betray anything but rage at this interloper.

 ''The court has this to say. West of the Pecos we'll not aid any ranger service. We don't want you out here. Fairdale doesn't need you"
 That's lie, Longstreth." retorted Duane. "Pve letters from Fairdale citizens all begging for ranger serv- ice"
 Longstreth turned white. The veins corded at his temples. He appeared about to burst into rage. He was at a loss for quick reply.

Housewives, Do You Know
That You Can Clean
Silver Without
Rubbing 1t?

If you don't this sounds
strange, of course, but it is true,
nevertheless. To prove it we
have a demonstration in our
Housefurnishing Department,
using the Silver-Clean Pan and
the Lightning Silver-Cleaner, and
she will be pleased to have you
come and see for yourself-and,
if you like. bring a piece of your
own furnished silver that we may
clean it.
Tarnish ruins your silver and
rubbing and scrubbing to get the
tarnish off takes away part of the
silver and all the smooth beauty.
If you have Silver-Clean Pan
you can and will clean silver SO
often that tarnish will not have
time to do it harm, and it will not
be scratched and made ugly by
rubbing and scrubbing.

Federal Workmen's Compensation.

A bill is now pending in the House,
with favorable report from the jul
dietary committee, which is giving some
concern to those members of the ma
jority who are anxious to make party
record for the campaign. This is the
McGillicuddy bill to establish an equi-
table system Of compensation for gov
eminent employees injured in the line
of duty, extending to all the civilian
workers of the public service the prin-
ciples Of this relief, now covering, in in
adequate manner, only about one fourth
of the whole number under the act of
1903. The reason for democratic anx-
iety on the subject is that in the Bal
timore platform of 1912 plank was
adopted pledging the democratic party
to enact q law providing adequate in
demnity for injury to body or loss of
life" as far as the federal jurisdiction
extends. Although nearly four years
have passed since that pledge was given
nothing has been done, save the report
ing Of the pending bill. Now a special
effort is being made to secure action on
the bill in the House, at least, before
the democratic convention meets week
after next. 1t has been limited that if
the MEASURE is not passed at the present

Piles. Is not republican leadership alb

All the republicans mentioned for the
Chicago nomination are well known
party men. Not one has ever bolted
party ticket. All represent loyalty not
only to the party, but to principles to-
day recognized as republican in origin
and essence. Any one of them if nOmi-
mated will be supported by Mr. Taft.

As republican he asks from his place

Roosevelt and the Tariff.

BY stopping at Newark to deliver an
address in which the tariff figured Mr..
Roosevelt confessed that preparedness
is not the only issue this year. The
place was well chosen 1t is manu-
featuring city in manufacturing state.
Protection is topic which commands
attention Voters will listen when it is
discussed 1t touches them "where they
live"
New Jersey does not like the Under
wood law 1t has so declared at the
polls. The election returns of 1914
showed reputation of the revision
advertised by its authors as shaped to
stimulate business, provide the govern
ment with sufficient revenue, and lower
the high cost of living, The people
could see that business had not been
stimulated. but been depressed. Their
behind; and they had daily proof that
the cost of living was going up instead
of down. Hence the defeat of demo
cratic candidates, and the success of re-
publican candidates.
1t cannot be said, however, that Mr..
Roosevelt did more than pledge him
self to protection in stereotyped gener-
alities. This may have been due to the
fact that the tariff is not his strong
hos u att a
was conspicuously neglectful of it while
President. Had he charged himself then,
as he promised, with carrying out the
Mckinley policies-tariff revision was
the leading one-his party would not
have faced the endorsements of 1909,
which sent it to grass in 1910, and, cou-
in 1912. The tariff is "loaded" when
Mr.. Roosevelt's record comes up.
Mr.. Roosevelt indicts the democrats
and justly-on their record respecting
preparedness He contends that they
have neglected the matter, and are busy
with it now only for election purposes.
MI. w IleOn anu peeh
stirred to action by the approach Of
the presidential campaign.
With Mr. Roosevelt az their candi-
date, what reply would the republicans
make to the taunt of the democrats that
he neglected the tariff when he should
have insisted on it's revision, and to the
charge that his interest in it now is
vote seeking device3
The nominee of the Chicago conven-
ton should be as sound on the tariff as
on preparedness. In fact, the two
things are indissolubly connected. A
thoroughly adequate preparedness means
large expenditures, and the tariff will
be the means of raising large part of
the money Mr. Roosevelt promises pro-
lection. but twelve years ago he prom
ised not to run for President again. Who
will go bail for him nows

session friends of labor will during the
eampaign charge the democratic party
with failure to observe its platform
promise to its working force.
The McGillicuddy bill adopts the prin-
ciple of two thirds compensation for all
who are injured in the government serv-
ice, save through their own palpable
negligence. regardless of the nature of
their occupation. 1t has been carefully
drawn. Upon the basis of actuarial sta
tistics it will cost the government for
tour or five years actually less than
the present measure, which provides for
full payment of wages for one year of
disability, with nothing beyond year
One authority has estimated that the
cost of the proposed law the first year
would approximate one-tenth of ] per
cent of the government pay roll and
gradually rise to the maximum, to be
reached in thirty years, of one half of
l per cent.
The United States should certainly be
willing to stand for a prospective ex-
pcnditurc of one half of per cent of
the pay roll in order to put itself along
side of enlightened private employers
OF labor who have accepted the respon-
sibility for the injuries suffered by their
workers in their service. Not merely
in common justice. this measure should
be put upon its passage at the first OPP
portunity.

The Passing of Rule As"

Yesterdays ruling by the District
Court of Appeals on the celebrated
rule As of the board of education sets
al rest the question of the eligibility of
woman teacher in the public schools to
continue in service after marriage The
lower court held both that the rule was
unreasonable and that it was incon-
sistent with the organic school law The
with the law and therefore void, and
does not pass upon the point of its rea-'
snnablencss or unreasonableness. There
is no appeal from this decision, and so
the law is finally interpreted to give all
woman teachers the right to marry and
continue to serve in the schools so long
as they remain capable of performing
their duties and measure up to the
standards of the educational system. This
would seem to be the most just inter
probation of the law. 1t conserves to the
public school system the service of ex
perienced teachers without depriving
them Of the right of matrimony If un-
der this practice, required by the courts,
the schools are found to suffer in de-
Perforated service relief can be had
through change in the law Such a
law. however, would probably be diff
cult to secure, unless there were strong
evidence of need developing from a
thorough trial of the system resulting
from the abolition of rule A.

This bears Pittsburg date line:
Asserting that he had not given the
question Of the republican nominee
much thought, Mr.. Taft in an interview
stated that he would support any re-
publican who might be selected at Chi
cago. He said with emphasis that he
was and is republican,
"'A statement at this time by me is
almost wholly out of the question: he
said, inasmuch as ! have given the mat
ter very little thought. I have always
been and am republican. The repub-
leans are all my friends and ! will sup
port any republican they name. 1t
would be ingratitude for me to do
otherwise. They were very good to me
