THE COUNTRY NEEDS PAGE.

When man rises to the point of
influence in the halls of our Congress
that the Hon. Robert Page has, he
has ceased to confine his service to
any special constituency The hun
dred millions of people of the United
States are his constituents. Mr. Page
has long since let the postoffice at
Bingville or a clerkship at Washing
ton be trif1es and not issues with him
He is a man who by sheer weight of
brains and character has been elevat-
ed to the front ranks OF the leaders
Of Congress. No man in that great
legislative body deserved the eleva-
ton more; no man in the same body
has proved truer to his rewards of
last in position to be potent factor
In the shaping of legislation for his
country, it is un-Page like to let a few
disgruntled politicians from his dis
trict influence him to get out of Con-
gress. Whatever he owes to the con-
stituency of the Seventh, he owes
more to his country. and when he de.
cllnes the nomination at the next
Democratic primary. he pleases a
small minority of his district and dis
pleases the majority of the rank and
file of his party all over the land.
Just now when the most monumen-
tai raid in the annals of finance or
government is about to be made on
our treasury, we need real men to
stand up and stay the gluttonous hand
of Wall Street and mun1tion traffick-
ers. More men like Bob Page, who
can stand firm and steadily face the
jibes and vituperations of a moneyed
press and the most riotous and reck-
less propaganda that has been organ
lied in an age, and never waver from
his mornings. He is one of the men
that the people have counted on to
fight this historical preparedness. ~
Has he the moral right to gap the
ranks of the anti-preparedness van
guard?
If the President, the leader of his
party, can smash plank of the plat
form on which he was elected, it
would certainly seem within the prop
rieties of Mr.. Page to reconsider his

The murmurs of the people, vague,
indefinite, had from time to time been
audible at the open door Of the grand
entrance.

They began to edge towards the pal
ace steps, dark dense mass The
soldiery were not eager to oppose
them with steel. The soldiers were
themselves of the people. Moreover,
they had had small cause for loyalty
to the king and court of Gretzhoffen.
They were i'll paid and i'll governed.
The people lacked leadership. Count
Frederick had hinged his own plans
of action upon one event-the public
disgrace of the king-and that event
had not occurred.
He frowned as he stood looking out
over the dense mass which filled the
streets. Even he began to feel, al
most in spite of himself, some scrt of
a vague pity for these less fortunate
ones.
Still over the voice of the strings
and reeds rose the low mutterings of
the mob, strange to hear, impossible
to describe.
King Michael heard this sound All
heard it, this voice of the people, as
yet undecided. The kings face paled
terror smote home upon his soul.
The courage of his usual alcoholic
stimulant being tonight denied him,
his weak nerves gave way.

turning to the salon, from the great
entrance door. The latter saw the ter
ror on his monarch's face, and recog-
