no proper retreat now for tubercuar PATIENTS and this
money VII be entirely expended under the direction Of the
County Commissioners STILL the precedent is unfortun
ae and the Majority agrees with Commissioner Haler
who voted against it.
It means that public money being expended toward
maintaining private institutions which the public has not
the right to inspect 1t that every INDECENT
''emergency not sent to such institution is being
Disseminated against Itmeans that every local charity
not being provided for is being Disseminated against The
Associated Charities give their whole existence to dis
pensing charity The local Dental Clinic is treating
free Of charge the teeth Of the children Of INDECENT par
ents Possibly every physician does charity work to
even greater proportion than any hospital Why, then
favor and spurn the other? If the hospitals to-
send in their bills to the taxpayers then let the Charities
send in their bills let the dentists send in their bills let
the physicians the surgeons the ocusts send in their
bills! Why make fish and flesh!
Not that opposed to public aid for the POOR
The the tax payers have the whole responsibility
for poverty the will poverty be abolished We are
in favor Of public aid because believe poverty be
public matter, public danger What object to pub
lie payment Of the bills and private assumption of
philanthropy
When the public clipped and raised the money fer
the building Of the Ohio Valley General Hospital it
with the express understanding that the hospital would
fill charitable need when the public has Clipped in on
Tag Days. and in the many other affairs conducted by
the Branches and Twgs has been in the belief that the
hospital doing charity work To learn that this
money has been used to pay interest notes discounted
by bankers not conducive that confidence that
the public should have in institution.
And yet this is the usual condition where there pr
cate administration OF public need 1t has been shown

readers famiar it is just evidenced in the dis

people to control Of their AFFAIRS longer

duplication OF public service.
But should forget that after ALL caring for
poverty and disease and accident is but pouring oil upon

Garment Workers Turn
Down Agreement Offer
(caM News service.)

New York, August 10 With the
tentative agreement drawn up by a
committee representing the $4,000
union cloak strikers and the Cloak
Suit and Skirt Manufacturers Protec-
tive Association, rejected by acclama-
ton by the workers, settlement of the
strike seems long way of in this,
its fourteenth week.
The objections of the workers to
the agreement may be summed up as
follows:
1. It provides no machinery for the
peaceful adjustment of arising dis
putes, such as existed under the pro-
tocol broken by the manufacturers
when they locked out the workers on

CHAPTER w.


As Hardy was unpacking his scant
wardrobe, an Indian boy came to the
door, thrust In his head and announced
gutturally:
"M'ree him say you come six"
Hardy nodded to the boy and signed
him to 60. Ten minutes later he
stepped up on the porch Of the Dupont
house. Before he could knock, Du
pont stepped from the rear door of his
trade store, which faced away frUm the
porch.
Hello, Capt." he greeted the guest
with bluff cordially. "Glad to see you.
Walk right In"
Hardy crossed the threshold and
paused. The floor was covered to re-
semble waxed hardwood. The oriental
rugs were real. The walls were pa
pered with qriet tapestry pattern.
The adobe fireplace was set with d
modern CRATE and faced with tile
mantel. The few pictures were well
chosen. There was no sign of the
guns, skins and Navajo blankets that
Hardy had expected to see.

for a father-in-law! Only thing, his
squaw died five or six years ago. That
was when he sent the girl to Ottawa"
Hardy looked at the mountains and
changed the subject: MAY ask you
to give the particulars of the killing Of
Mr. Nogen"
Vandervyn's eyelids dropped low and
opened again In wide, guileless stare.
There's little to tell. Nogen and
and Redbear were riding into the noun
tains. We met the murderer. He and
Nogen quarreled. He shot NOgen-
killed him. Then Redbear and fired,
and one of US got him-we don't know
which of us it was. That's all. You'll
find it In the coroner's report. I kept
a copy in the Office at the agency"
Strange that an Indian should ut

Hardy. 'Was the cause ascertainedr'
yanderyyn twisted the tip OF his
blond mustache. SWELL, 1t may be all
