Mr.. Johnson ridiculed the idea that

said the president had tried to do his

war had been permitted to be sent to

permitted such dealings. He said that

urged Progressive support of the Will
son candidacy, declaring the Demo
cratic party was now the only Pro.
gressive party.
Mr.. Zolla informed his audience
that Theodore Roosevelt had betrayed
the Progressives by giving his sup
port to the Republican party, which,
he said. was still controlled by the
same bosses who were the direct
cause of the revolt of 1912 which had
been led by Col. Roosevelt. Zolla
stated that the Democratic party had
placed upon the statute books nearly
all the legislation the Progressive
party had advocated and that real,
patriotic Progressives would support
Wilson at the polls next November.
Flags James e. Watson.
Mr.. Johnson in his forty-five minute
address branded James E. Watson as

became the salaried emissary of the
interests" within month after he
had been retired from public office.

he had acquired concerning the men,
bers of congress while acting as
whip" Of the house.
do you suppose this man, James
E. Watson, paid emissary Of the in
terests, will, if he is elected, require
an introduction to any lobbyist" Mr..
Johnson shouted.
will it be difficult for these lobby
lists to convince this man that legis-
lation aimed against the interests of
he masses is, in reality, designed to
promote the interests Of the masses?"
Predicts Party Victory.
In the beginning Of his speech Mr.
Johnson predicted Democratic vic
tory this fall He said the nation had
enjoyed both peace and prosperity
despite the fact that during the last
campaign the Republican spellbinders
had predicted calamity in the event
of Democratic success. He said the
farmers had never enjoyed better
markets, that the capitalists were sat

ton all his life had practically repu-
dated such policy and had confessed
to his mistake in the last speech he
made before he was assassinated.
Mr.. johnson recited long list of
legislation enacted during the Wilson
administration and declared that il
Tor no other reason Mr.. Wilson was
entitled to second term because of
the currency reform act. He said
the currency question had always
been ignored by the Republicans be-
cause the great New York banking in
terests had always objected to any
currency reforms.
Defends Mexican Policy,
Referring to the Mexican situation
he said the only policy to he pursued
by the United States was to keep it's
hands on Mexico and let that country
light out its own salvation as all other
nations have been obliged to do. He
touched lightly upon the Vera Cruz

phesy that the Democrats were In
capable Of conducting the affairs OF

son stated that but small per cent
Of existing prosperity was due to the
foreign war; that domestic industrial
activities were almost wholly respon-
sible for this condition. He answered
the criticism that the cost Of living
was too high by declaring that the
increased incomes Of the American
workers permitted them to keep pace
with the increase In the cost Of COM
modities.

Referring to the tariff question Mr..
Johnson stated that the Republicans
were now predicting that if the war
ended during Democratic admins
tration the United States would be
flooded with the products OF European
pauper labor and that they were call
ing upon that old fetish, a Republican
protective tariff, to safeguard the ma
ton from such. peril.
He said the Republicans were &C
tually promising the enactment Of an
other such tariff as provided during
the Taft administration, one schedule
of which had been denounced as
outrageous by Mr.. Taft. Mr.. John

The Caverns.


When Kitty Gray awakened to con
seriousness upon the beach of a strange
land whittier she had been carried by
no purpose of her own, she looked
once more into the face of peril The
savages who surrounded her showed
no sign of pity or kindness. Upon the
contrary whooping and yelling, they
fell upon her and dragged her in spite
OF herself toward their own village.
This village had ruler of it's own,
no doubt chief for that part of the
country.
He was savage of peculiarly fierce
and forbidding visage, and Kitty felt
her blood run cold as she faced his
evil gaze. The natives, yelling in
glee, practically cast her at his feet.
Evidently they were giving to Caesar
the things which they thought were
Caesars-in this case, woman, the
spolia opima of all wars and all con-
quests. The evil face OF the savage
monarch relaxed into a grin which
made Kitty shudder.
What woman was this now brought
by chance to the presence of this ogre?
Surely he had never seen her like be-
fore. Moreover, she was alone, a pris-
oner helpless. The progress of rea-
son hereabouts was swift and simple,

most ludicrous activity amongst the
natives. In CONSERVATION they flung
themselves before him. clasped his
knees, and laid their foreheads upon
the earth even as Man Friday had in
the presence of Crusoe of old. Obyi

a place where he was offered food and

by his starved body.
Unable to understand what was de-
sired of him, and Indifferent as to the
meaning of the colloquy going On
about him, for some time his interest
in life and its affairs was so lax that
he paid no attention to anything that
was happening. At length, however
he noticed something which caused
him to take a sudden and eager inter
est in his surroundings.
Two men came running, evidently
from a distant part of the island and |

portance, as could be proved by the re- |
eeption given their hurried story. But |
what was that story?

pathic quality of the mind itself. Count
Frederick understood not one word
OF this language which he heard, yet
ne knew-because he must know
something of the subject which these
persons were discussing.
The men had come far-one could
tell that. their looks proved it. They
had seen something strange, some
thing extraordinary had happened.
some event of interest or importance
had occurred. else they would not have
come 80 fast and so far. This was
easy enough to reason out.
What was that event? What could
happen out of the ordinary on this
desert island. unless 1t were some
thing coming from beyond the narrow
horizon of that island-say, a ship
wreck, or the landing on these shores

| and the chief himself did not lack
directness in his methods. He gave
sign to his men, and the girl was
dragged away, struggling as best she
might, and flung into hut which she
knew was to serve as prison.
Here III corner of the dark interior
she covered in terror before the APP
partitions conjured up by her own
imagination. She had not long to
wait. The chief himself came. little
suspecting the resistance he was to
meet-that of an enraged and despair
ing woman. So valiant did Kitty prove
herself in repulsing his odious ad.
vances. that he was glad enough to
give her up and make his way back
to his hammock, leaving her to her
own devices.
Outside the hut Kitty could now
hear loud cries, orders. shouts, eI-
carnations, all the sounds of a crowd
gathcring-for what purpose she could
not guess. The meaning OF this also
was not long left in doubt for her.
Again the door of her hut was dark
ened, and again the natives intruded
upon her privacy. Forceful hands
dragged her once more before the
chief.
The latter, smiling his hideous pu..
pose OF vengeance, pointed to a pile
OF hrewood burning at the brink of a
ueep PIT in the ground. He made
signs to Kitty which she could not
fail to understand.
Yes, she saw it now-she was to
suffer the most horrible of deaths, that
by fire! These people either were
eannibals or fiends. Perhaps they
purposed for her some rite of a horri.
