Dear sir:-
There win be sent to you BY Thu
mail a copy Of Senate document con
tanning much valuable information up
on the subject Of bankruptcy legisla
ton.
The Senate has made the bankruptcy
bill a special order and no doubt vii
pass a bill before adjournment.
VIII you kindly consider editoriaIly the
subject of bankruptcy legislation and
kindly send me q marked copy Of your
paperi
Please observe from the printed mat.
ter on this letter head that the Torrey
bin has been considered and very gen.
orally endorsed throughout the country,
and has been twice passed by the House
of Representatives
The bill of Mr.. Bailey of Texas, as
modified, has been recommended as a
substitute for ours by a majority of
the Senate Committee; it has never so
far as I know, been favorably recon-
mended for enactment by any CONNER
cial, industrial or professional body in
the country, but it, in effect, has been
condemned by a number of them. Our
bill has been reported favorably by a
minority of the Committee.
Heretofore, the controversy has been
as to whether or not Congress should
enact a bankruptcy law as provided by
the Constitution but the question now
is whether or not there shall be enacted
a complete equitable voluntary and in
voluntary law (the TOrrey billy or the
temporary bill recommended as above
which many good people believe would
be determined to the best interests of
the debtors and creditors Of the whole
country.
Earnestly hoping that you viii give
to the proper solution of this question
the benefit Of your influence, I beg to re-
main,
Very sincerely and truly yours,
JAY L. TORREY.

Michael G. Walsh, Republican candi-
date for nomination for member of the
legislature from the Fourth Senatorial
District was born in 1873 and resides
with his family at 525s Emerald avenue.
Mr.. Walsh has been at all times q
stsneh supporter Of the Republican par
ty and its candidates. In 1900 he was
the Republican nominee. for alderman
from the 3Oth ward, and although the
ward was then about four to one Demo
cratic he made fast and vigorous cam
paign, and lost by only ffty-seven votes.
In 1901 he was again honored by the
Republican voters of the ward and made
their nominee for alderman, and again
after a hot campaign was defeated by
less than 100 votes. In 1904 he was
elected by the Republicans of the. Fourth
Congressional District (of which the
Thirtieth Ward is a part) as their dele
gate to the Republican National Con-
vention, and had the honor to vote for
Theodore Roosevelt for the nomination
for President. In 1908 he was again
The broad ax. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1895-19??, 1918-09-07

honored by the Republican voters of the
Fourth Congressional District as their
candidate for Congress, and although
the district was strongly Democratic
and the race seemed hopeless, he cast q
very large vote and ran several thou
sand ahead Of his ticket. He was elect
ed by the Republicans of the Thirtieth
Ward as a delegate to every state con-
vention from 1896 to 1914, and repre-
scented the voters of the ward in this ca
pacity in faithful and efficient manner.
He has served the party without COM
pensation Of any kind, spending his own
time and money in promoting clean Re-
publican politics. In 1906 Mr.. Walsh
was appointed by the Hon. Peter N.
Hoffman as deputy coroner Of Cook
County, and has held that position up
to the present time. Everyone who has
had occasion to meet Mr.. Walsh in his
Official capacity can but say that he al
ways assisted the poor and unfortunate,

Mr.. Julius F. Taylor,
Publisher and Editor The Broad Az,
Salt Lake City, Utah.
Dear Mr.. Taylor
The copy of The Broad Az arrived
this morning containing the marked ar
tiele headed: "The Torrey Bankruptcy
Law"
Please accept the thanks Of the other
friends Of the cause for this strong con-
tribution to our literature.
Senator Brown has twice entered OBJ
jeetions at critical periods to the con-
sideration of the bill, and if it should
fail to pass for want Of consideration
IL viii, I think, be largely due to his
obstructive tactics. Hence have tele-
graphed you and beg to confirm my
as follows: "Please have urg-
snt kilograms sent Senator Brown favor
ng bankruptcy Legislation"
There is danger that the bill will not
be considered at this session in view of
The short time yet remaining. If so, it
will fail and win be introduced in the
next Congress as q new measure.
We shall, however, continue the
struggle until the gavel falls on the
'ourth Of March and most earnestly hope
hat we shall succeed in securing the
'assage Of the bill.
You are without assignment or in
laws in Utah, as I am told.
4ast year there was q larger percentage
Il those engaged in business in Utah
allied than in any other state in the
Union, your average being 4s5 per cent,
While the average per cent for the whole

our bill was passed to protect debtors |
nd creditors that there would be q |
mailer percentage Of failures; the hon
st debtors would get . discharge; the
ssets Of insOlvents would be rateably |
evided between creditors Of equal
ights. Are net these results earnestly

CHAPTER Ill.
At the Ridinu School.

His royal highness the Crown Prince
Ferdinand William Otto was in dis
grace.
He had risen at six. bathed, dressed,
and gone to mass, in disgrace. He
had breakfasted at seven-thirty on
fruit, cereal. and one egg, in disgrace.
He had gone TO his study at eight
o'clock for lessons, in disgrace. A
long line of tutors came and went all
morning, and he worked diligently, but
he was still In disgrace. All morn
ing long and In the intervals between
tutors he had tried to catch Miss
Braithwaite's eye.
Except for the most ordinary civil
tiles, she had refused to look In his
direction.
The French tutor was standing near
photograph of Hedwig, and pretend
ing not to look at it. Prince Ferdinand
William Otto had a suspicion that the
tutor was in love with Hedwig.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto did
not like the French tutor.
He also found the sun unsettling.
Besides, he hated verbs. Nouns were
different. One could do something
with nouns, although even they had
way of having genders. Into his
head popped a recollection of a de-
lightful pastime Of the day before
nothing more nor less than Tipping
paper wads at the guard on the scenic
railway as the car went past him.
Prince Ferdinand William Otto tore
off the corner Of piece of paper,
chewed 1t deliberately, rounded and
hardened it with his royal fingers, and
aimed it at M. Puaux. 1t struck him
in the eye.
Instantly things happened. NJ.
Puaux yelled, and clappad & hand TO
his eve. Miss Braithwaite rose. His
rOyal highneSs wrote rather Shaky
French verb, with the wrong termina-
ton. And on TO this scene came
Milky for the riding lesson.
Milky surveyed the scene. He had,
of course. bowed inside the door. and
all that sort of thing. But Milky IVES
an Informal person, and waS-quite apt
to bow deeply before his future sover-
eign, and then poke him in the chest.
"Well!" said Milky.
"Good morning" said Prince Ferdi-
nand William Otto, in a small and
nervous voice.
Nothing wrong. Is there" de-
manded Milky.
NJ. Puaux got ont his handkerchief
and said nothing violently.
"CIttoi" said Miss Braithwaite.
what did you do?"
Nothing" He looked about. He
was quite convinced that NJ. Puaux

poor sport, and had no. played ths

Perhaps the old kings memory was
good. Perhaps there was change in
Mettlich's voice.
"a good boy?"
"NOne better, sire. He is devoted
to his royal highness. He is outside
now"
Bring him in. I'll have a look at
him"
Milky, summoned by a chamberlain,
stopped inside the doorway and bowed
deeply.
''Come here" said the king.
He advanced.
''How old are your"
"Twenty-three, sire"
'Tn the grenadiers, I believe"
Milky bowed.
Like horSes?" said the king sud
denly.
"Very much, SIRE"
"And boys"
"I-some boys, SIRE"
"Humph! Quite right, too. Little
devils, most of them" He drew him
self up in his chair. Lieutenant
Larisch," he said, His royal highness
the crown prince has taken a liking
to you. I believe it is to you that our
fright today is due"
Nikky's heart thumped. He went
rather pale.

isch, to place the crown prince in your
personal charge. For reasons I need
not go into, it is imperative that he
take no more excursions alone. | want
real friend for the little crown
prince. One who is both brave and
loyal"
Afterward, in his small room, Milky
composed a neat, well-rounded speech,
in which he expressed his loyalty,
gratitude, and undying devotion to the
crown prince. 1t was an elegant lit
tie speech. Unluckily, the occasion for
it had gone by two hours.
I'll am grateful, SIRE" was what
he said. "I-" And there he stopped
and choked up. It was rather dread
full.
81 depend on you, Captain Larisch, p"
said the king gravely, and nodded his
head in gesture of dismissal.
Milky backed toward the door, struck
a hassock, all but went down. bowed
again at the door, and fled.
"a fine lad" said General Mettlich,
'but no talker."
"All the better" replied his majes-
ty. 81 am tired of men who talk
well. And" he smiled family II
am tired of you. You talk too well.
You make me think. I don't want to
think. I've been thinking all my life.

"Her royal highness-"
"Annunciata is a fool" said his ma
3esty. Then, dismissing his daughter
with a gesture, eve don't know how
to raise our children here" he said
tmpatiently. "The English do better.
And even the Germans"
1t is not etiquette to lower ones
eyebrows at king and glare. But
General Mettlich did 1t. lie was rather
a poor subject. "The Germans have
not our problem, SIRE" he said, and
stuck up his mustache.
I'm not going to raise the boy a
prisoner" insisted the king stubbornly.
General Mettlich bent forward and
placed a hand on the old mans knee.
1--WE shall do well, SIRE" he said
gravely, Ito raise the boy at ALL"
There was short silence, which the
king broke. "What is newT'

small groups. / was gratified, how
ever, to observe that group of stu
dents cheered his royal highness yes
terday as he rode past the university

"They are waiting, of course, for my
DEATH" said the king quietly. IF
only you were twenty years younger
than 1 am, 1t would be better" He
fixed the general with shrewd eyes.
"What do those asses of doctors say
about me?"
Even at the best, sire" He
looked very ferocious, and cleared his
throat. He was terribly ashamed that
his voice was breaking. even at the
best, but Of course they can only give
an opinion"
"Six months?"
"a year, sire"
"And at the worst" said the king,
with a grim smile. Then, following

people love the boy, / think"

when have you taken to fearing?"

Mettlich doggedly, 81 fear. This quiet

and demanded explanations: "for
untidy nails, five marks! A gentle
man never has untidy nails, Otto. For
objecting to winter fiannels, two
marks. Humph For pocketing sugar
from the tea tray, ten marks Humph
For lack of attention during religious
instruction, five marks. Ten off for
the sugar, and only five for inattention
to religious instruction! What have
you to say, sir?'
Prince Ferdinand William Otto
looked at Milky and Milky looked
back. Then Ferdinand William Otto's
left eyelid dropped. Milky was
astounded. How was he to know the
treasury of strange things that the
crown prince had tapped the previous
afternoon? But, after a glance around
the room, Nikky's eyelid dropped also
He slid the paper wad into his pocket.
81 am afraid his royal highness has
hurt your eye,/ NJ. Puaux," said Miss
Braithwaite.
"Not at ALL" said the unhappy young
man, testing the eye to discover if he
could see through 1t. 81 am sure his
royal highness meant no HARM" NJ
Puaux went out, with his handker'
chief to his eye.
While Oskar, his valet, put the
crown prince into riding clothes, Milky
and Miss Braithwaite had q talk. II
began by Nikky's stating that she was
likely to see him great deal now
and he hoped she would not find him
in the way. He had been made aide
Count Lussin, who had resigned on
account of illness, having been reused
at day-break out of a healthy sleep
to do K.
Not that Milky said just that. What
he really observed was: "The king
sent for me last night, Miss Braith,
waite, and-and asked me to hang
around"
Thus Milky, of his sacred trust
None the less sacred to him, either
that he spoke lightly. He glanced up
at the crossed swords, and his eyes
were hard.
And Miss Braithwaite knew. She
reached over and put hand on his
arm. "You and l." she said. "Out
of all the people in this palace, only
you and /! The archduchess hates
him. / see it in her eyes. She car
never forgive him for keeping the
throne from Hedwig. The very
guards down below. the sentries al

doggedly.
'sThe peoplel Sheep. I do not trust
the people. I do not trust any one

food we eat"
HE is coming" said Milky softly
And fell to whistling under his
| breath.
Together Milky and Prince Ferdi
Dand William Otto went out and down
