me at least an eminently satisfactory
and businesslike arrangement. Ward
bought the outfits for both Of us. 1t
turned out that he was IL Mexican war
veteran-hence the military cape-and
III consequence an old campaigner. His
experience and my rural upbringing
saved us from most of the ridiculous
purchases men made at that time. We
had stout clothes and boots, q water
proof apiece, picks and shovcls, blan-
kets and long strips of canvas, three
axes, knives, Il rifle, 4 double shot
gun and q Colts revolver apiece. The
latter seemed to me Il wonderful weap-

cylinder, but l had 10 opportunity to
try it.
Ward decided instantly for the Pan.

Its the most expensive, but also
the quickest said he. "A sailing ship
around the Horn takes forever, and
across the plains is ditto. Every day

Louisiana. | suppose, too, all grades
of the social order must have been
represented, but in u youth and high
spirits we did not go into details Of
that sort. Every man, with the excep-
ton Of a dozen or SO, wore q red shirt,
a SLOUGH hat, q revolver and Il bowie
knife, and most Of us had started to
grow boards. Unless Il scrutiniZed
closely such unimportant details as fea-
lures, ways Of speech or manners, n
could not place his mans former sta
tus, whether as lawyer, physician Or
r%oustabout. And we We're too busy for
that. I never saw such a busy place
as that splattering old ship slowly
WallOwing her way south toward the
tropical seas. We had $4,000 things
to discuss, beginning with MarshalI's
first discovery, skipping through the
clouds Of rumors Of all sorts, down to
intimate details Of climate, outfit, pros
| poets, plans and the best methods Of
getting at the gold. And to all these
subjects we brought a dozen points of
view, each Of which was strange to
all the others. We had with us men
from every stratum of society and
from every point Of the compass. Each
was a product Of his own training and
mental upbringing and was incapable,
without great effort, Of understanding
his neighbours point of view. Com
munication and travel We're in those
days very limited, it must be remem-
bered, and different communities and
sections Of the country produced strong
types. With us discussion became an
adventurous exploration into a new
country. The man from Maine could
not but be interested in finding out
what that strange, straight haired, dark
creature from Carolina might think Of
even the most commonplace subject.
Only u subjects We're not common

and the hum of voices rising and fall

camp-a calculated appeal to all that
hate sin and strife and the noise Of
arms
What is war?
The secretary of state Of the Viii
son administration in the Mexican
note of June, 1915, says:
For three years the Mexican Re
public has been torn with civil strife.
"The lives OF Americans have been
sacrificed,
Vast properties developed by
American capital and enterprise have
been destroyed.
Bandits have been permitted to
road at will through territory contig-
uous to the United States
The lives of citizens Of the United
States who yentured to remain in
Mexican territory or to return there
to protect their interests have been
taken.
THE murderers have neither been
apprehended nor brought TO justice
And what of Vera Cruz? Naco?
Tampico?

New Wppr ScalrS.

Money is circulating in America
very freely. Manufacturers have
made large profits and a large new
list Of millionaircs has been created.
Prosperity, originating with war mu-
nitons, has spread throughout the
nation. Labor, realizing this condi-
ton, has insisted upon a large share
of the profits. This tendency has been
largely responsible for the labor trou-
blcs Of the country
Labor has been paid high wages, in
some instances Voluntarily and in
others as result of the threat of
strikes, but the fact should be faced,
warns the Washington Post, that while
capitalists may consider their present
prosperity temporary. labor considers
the present high wage scale as per-
mancnt.
II any injury results to the market
Of the United States at the close Of
the European war labor will be the
first interest affected There will
have to be either large curtaiImcnt
of the force employed or else a gen
eral reduction in the wage scale.
The protection Of the American
market, therefore, is Of far more i'm
portance to American labor than to
American manufacturers With the
labor cost abnormally large when
compared to the foreign labor cost
manufacturers will not be able 10
retain the great export trade that has
been secured during the two years Of
the war.
