''Yes-like fits | will !" retorted the

VERY we'll: you've had your warn
ing. The next thing is the auto. l
want to catch Judge Warner before he
goes to bed. I'll telephone while you're
getting a car
Starbuck had no farther to go than
to the garage where he had put up his
car, and when ne got it and drove to
the Kinzie building, Smith came out of
the shadow of the entrance to mount
beside him.
Drive around TO the garage again
and let me try another phone" was
the low-spoken request. My wire
isn't working"
The short run was quickly made,
and Smith went to the garage office.
"A moment later a two-hundred-pound
policeman strolled up to put a huge
foot on the running board of the wait
ing auto. Starbuck greeted him as a
friend.
"Hello, Mac How's tricks with you
tonight?"
9Th tricks are even, an I'm tryin'
to take tn odd wan" said the big Irish
man. "Tis q man named Smith I'm
lookin' for, Misther Starbuck-J. Mon
tay-gue Smith; tn fi-nanshal boss av
tn big ditch comp'ny. Have We seen
'um?"
Starbuck. looking over the police
mans shoulder, could see Smith at
tle telephone in the garage Office. An
other man might have lost his head,
but the ex-cowpuncher was of the
chosen few whose wits sharpen hand
lily in an emergency.
He hangs out at the Hophra House
a good part of the time in the eve
nings," he replied coolly. Hop in and
I'll drive you around"
Three minutes later the threatening
danger was danger pushed little
way into the future, and Starbuck was
back at the garage curb waiting for
Smith to come out. Through the win
dow he saw Smith placing the receiver
on its hook, and a moment afterward
he was opening the car door for his
passenger.
Did you make out to raise the
judge?" he inquired, as Smith climbed
in.
Yes. He will meet me at his cham
bers in the courthouse as soon as he
can drive down from his house."
what are your hoping to do. John7
Judge Warner is only circuit judge;
he can't set an order of the United
States court aside, can he?'
'Ne; but there is one thing that he
can do. You may remember that 1
had a talk with him this morning at
his house. l was trying then to cover
all the chances, among them the pos
sibility that Stanton would jump in
with a gang of armed thugs at the last
minute. We are going to assume that
this is what has been done"
Starbuck set the car in motion and
sent 1t spinning out of the side street,
around the plaza, and beyond to the
less brilliantly Illuminated residence
district-which was not the shortest
way to the courthouse.
You mustn't pull Judge Warmers
leg, John" he protested, breaking the
purring silence after the business quar-
ter had been left behind; hes too
good a man for that"
II Shall tell him the exact truth, so
far as we know it," was the quick
reply. There is one chance in thou
sand that we shall come out of this

AMERICA AND PEACE

What effect peace will have upon
the United States is discussed in a
letter by Mr.. Henry Clews, the we'll
known New York financial expert. Mr..
Clews incidentally holds to the view
that because 1.-The side that has the
preponderance of facilities for
slaughter and money power is bound
to win, the war is not likely to hold
out through another severe winter.
Assuming that there will be COM
paratively early ending of the con-
flict he takes an optimistic view of
Americas role in reconstruction.
There is no doubt that peace will
necessitate extensive readjustments,"
he says. Concerns devoted to war
business will be obliged to scrap con-
siderable of their plants or prepare
for other Ines of work. War profits
would of course disappear and few
lines of endeavor would cease entire

which has been sent by housewives.
Women here should not make the
serious mistake of patronizing mail
order houses. In only a very few, If
any instances, quality considered, can
goods be bought cheaper from them
and brought here than from local
merchants. But aside from this ma
terial fact, the chief reason why trade
should not be given to the mail or
der houses is because doing business
with them is ruinous to this commun-
ity.
Mail order concerns do not contri-
butte anything to the support of An
chorage. They pay no taxes nor wages
here. The money they receive from
local customers is lost to the people
here forever. In time, if their trade
prospers, they will almost deplete this
communities, as they have many
places, of cash.
No knowledge of economics is re-
quired to realize that with every de-
crease in available cash, local bust
ness will suffer in corresponding ra-
ito. Professional practice, labor, and
real estate will rapidly follow mer-
chandise in experiencing the loss of
local market. >,
The housewife that sends money
to mail order concerns is taking the
most effective means of reducing the
income of her husband, no matter
what his occupation or calling, and
of decreasing the value of the house
and lot that constitute her home. She
is tearing down, while he is trying to
build up.
Upon the prosperity of the COM
munity as a whole depends the pros
perty of every person in the commun-
ity. Depicting a community Of its
money by sending it to mail order
houses operates to the misfortune of
erybody.-Anchorag Times.

ly. Optimism would at once succeed
despair and the work of rebuilding
and re-arranging the civilized world
would start with a vigor that would
soon overcome all confusion and hes
fancy. f.
"Our steel mills would receive no
more war orders, but far better, they
would be pressed with orders for
shipbuilding, for railroads, for build
ings and for all kinds of construction
work in all parts of the world. Our
textile mills would soon recover from
loss of war orders and be fully occu-
pied with both domestic and foreign
orders. Our secondary industries such
as automobiles, typewriters, agricul-
tural implements, machinery, etc.
would also be pressed with orders to
make good war losses in Europe. Our
mineral producers would be equally
sure of good markets and good prices,
so too, would the American farmer,
who may rest assured of good prices
for all he can grow for some time to
come"
MIR. Clew says that the truth is the
war has impoverished the whole
world; the waste of life and wealth
has been uncomfortable. The total ex-
penditure since the war broke out in
1914 he estimates at $90,0OO,000,O0O
while millions of lives have been lost
or impaired.
Everything grown or made by the
head of man." he continues, lis
scarce. Years will be required to fill
the enormous vacuum, and the scar
city of men at time when most
needed means high wages, high prices
and a long period of industrial &C
tivity, OF course, there will be per-
iods of weakness and depression.
There will be grave impoverishment
of some sections, as we'll as the crush
ing burden of debt upon all. Diff
culties, at present unperceived, are
likely to develop, and recovery from
war does not mean escape from all
it's losses.
But let 1t be distinctly kept in
mind-peace when it does come will
find the United States elevated to
pre-eminence industrially, commerce
tally and financially that would have
required a generation to attain, had
it not been for this cataclysm in Eu-
rope. Even should Great Britain re-
cover her leadership after the war,
we will still be a close second, instead
of a distant third or fourth, as before
the war"
America can view the prospect OF
permanent peace with equanimity.
and indeed, with longing. The advan-
tages this country has gained by rea-
son of the war have not been of it's
own choosing. But it would gladly
forego any world benefit it might
reap for the kind of peace it demands
peace that will make the world
"safe for democracy"
