This statement of yours meets
with the hearty approval Of the Or
ganized tOilers of this city and vicin-
ity who recognize that the Chamber Of
Commerce should be an organization
that does things'-an organization
that follows out the principles advo-
Gated i'm its platform.
There are many movements that
have as their hope some betterment

} ours, there are many things on which
we could agree.
AS an instance OF a particular
movement in which this organization
is deeply interested, we cite the Mar
ket street paving project The Cham
Der OF Commerce. representing the
business interests OF our city should
certainly be on record as fayoring this
project. yet to this date. your organ
ization has remained silent. The Cen
tral Labor Union believes that the
paving OF our main business street
should be started as early as possible
this spring and is directing its ef
forts toward endeavoring TO induce
the City Council to appropriate IN,
funds TO have the Street and Sewer
Department do the work. Should no
the Chamber of Commerce act il
favor OF this project? With the lab
oring men and the business men co
operating in this movement, aren't
possibilities greater for the securing
OF action?
Paragraph four Of your platform
, which reads:
"TO produce practical results tha

public cannot fail to see them. an,
TO express appreciation OF our work

Huahes a Man Of Action.

With the course of Justice Hughes
in resiCning from the Supreme bench
and placing himself entirely at the dis
posal of his party and with the state
ment of his views on national ques-
tons read to the Republican cOnven-
tiOn accepting the nomination, the
country is introduced to Charles Evans
Hughes, candidate for the presidency
as the nominee of a great party.
Mr.. Hughes has shown himself q
man of action. In an instant the re-
served juriSt becomes the active party
leader. His telegram to the Republi-
can convention may well arouse the
enthusiasm of his dropping party. He
unreservedly accepts the Republican
platform and dedicates his life to the
attainment of true Americanism and
to the vindication of American rights.
He denounces ire foreign policy of the
present administration as weak and
vacillating, and iashes its policy in
Mexico as aimless and without regard
to the protection of the lives of Amer
ican citizens. Here speaks the mill
tant Hughes. From his shoulders has
slipped the Supreme court robe, and
the great battle for the control of the
United States government is on.

I CHAPTER XIII !
Exodus

In the Yellowstone National park
there is an apparently bottomless pit
which can be instantly transformed in.
to a spouting, roaring Vesuvius of boil
ing water by the simple expedient OF
dropping bar of soap into it,
The spotlight went to press at three
o'clock. BY the earliest grazing of
dawn, and long before the sun had
shown itself above the eastern Timan-
yonis, Brouillards bar OF soap was
melting and the Mira oolitan under
depths were beginning To heave Like
wildfire, the news spread from lip to
lip and street to street. and by sunrise
the geyser was retching ana vomiting.
belching debris of cries and maIedic-
tons. ana pouring excited and riotous
crowds into Chigringo avenue.
Most naturally. the Spotlight Office
was the first point of attack. and Har-
Ian suffered loss. though it was incon-
siderable. At the battering down of
the doors the angry mob found itself
confronting the young reclamation
service chief and four members OF his
staff. all armed. Brouillard spoke
briefly and to the point
Il am the man who wrote that ar
ticle you've been reading. and Mr.. Har-
Ian printed it as a matter of news. II
you have anything to say to me you
know where TO find me. Now. move
on and let Mr. Harlan's property alone
or somebody will get hurt"
Nobody stayed to press the argu-
ment at the moment. An early-morp
ing mob is proverbially incoherent and
incohesive; and. besides. loaded Win
chesters in the hands OF five deter.
mined men are apt to have an elO
quepce which is more or less con,
vincing.
But with the opening Of business the
geyser spouted again. The exchanges
were mobbed by eager sellers, each
frenzied struggler hoping against hope
that he might find someone simple
enough to buy. At ten o'clock the bank
closed Temporarily. the placard no
tice said. But there were plenty to be-
lieve that it would never open again.
BY noon the trading panic had ex-
hausted itself little though the lobby
and cafe of the Metropole were crowd.
ed, and anxious groups quickly formed
around any nucleus OF rumor or gossip
in the streets.
Between one and two O'Clock, while
Brouillard, Lexington and Arson were
