The End of the Gold.

The End of the Gold.
NTlSER JENKINS drove his auto
lx1 as fast as it could go. He
was eager to get away from the
convict from whom he had taken
the pot Of gold. He wanted. also.
to get it home quickly so that he
could gloat over it. He had the
gold on the floor of the car be-
tween his feet, and he could scarce
ly keep his eyes off the shining
coins long enough to drive the ma
chine.
Peggy and Billy, chasing after
him in the toy airplane. could hear
him exulting to himself.
This gold will make me very
rich" he said aloud. With it l
can get lot of mortgages on the
homes of widows and orphans. Then
maybe 1 can take their property
from them and thus grow to be i'm

President of Marketing Committee

William Kent, who has been
named president Of a national mar
keting committee which will aim to
bring about cooperation of produce
ers and consumers, is a former con-
gresham from California, with a
reputation Of being one Of the most
interesting independents in recent
American political life. Mr.. Kent
is a Yale graduate, with wealth,
whose business interests in Chicago
and in California have provided him
with an income that he has used
chiefly for social betterment and for
education of his countrymen in
what he believes to be the ideals Of
contemporary democracy, humane
industry and honest trade. During
his residence in Chicago he took an
active interest in politics, became
president of the Municipal Voters
league, and was prominent in the
Civil Service Reform league. On
returning to the large estate he had
inherited in California, he continued
his participation in politics, first as
a progressive republican and later
as an independent.

"The restlessness throughout the
country, which. the President ascribes
to the failure to bring about final
peace, is not convincing, since the
ratification of the treaty by the Euro

not relieved them in this respect. One
unsettling idea is that it is unthink-
able to return to pre-war conditions.
The bad effect of this statement is in
the apparent justification of the law

upon the fact that most of the mes

that labor is not commodity or

Gore, of Oklahoma, another Democrat
who disobeyed the Presidents COM

MARTINS GARAGE, Oakland, Md.


Mr.. Wilson, at his best, would have
commented upon is the treaty of
peace, and that this the one subject
| his Cabinet would not have cared to
touch without consulting him. In
many ways the message is contradic-
tory.
with the exception of one appeal
to America in the hour of test and
trial to stand against disorder and
revolution, the message is weak" said
Representative Simeon D. Fess, of
Ohio, chairman Of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee. "He mentions
the budget as though he had just dis
covered the merits Of that proposal.
and fails to mention that the House
has already passed the measure. The
only additional idea he urges is that the
budget, as in the British House of
Commons, shall not be subject to
amendment from the floor. This is
quite characteristic, both in his ad-
miration of British institutions and
his Impotence with opposition.
after having said that unless Con-
gress took up the question of the rail
roads, he would turn them back to
their private owners the first of the
year, he now, in spite of the fact that
the House has passed the Esch bill
and that the Senate has taken up the
Cummins measure, puts the entire
question off until a later date when
he will address Congress again. The
President vigorously denounces the
protective tariff principle, and yet

Believes His Message Was Written BY
Others and Much of 1t Contradictory
Since the receipt by Congress of the
Presidents annual message, it has be-
come apparent to the National Legis-
latOrs that the President is unable to
attend to the public business, and that
his cabinet is divided as to means and
measures for carrying on the Govern
ment.
The signature of the President. as
he penned the document, is forced,
and that of very weak man. Great
sympathy is expressed for him in his
distress, but there is a growing sus-
picion that Congress is being deceived
as to his real condition. The impress
sion is general in Washington that he
is ailing seriously, and is confined for
exercise to a wheel chair.
In addition to this, it is generally
agreed that the President did not ac-
tually write his annual message. The
style is not his. Only the last para
graph sounds like the Woodrow Viii.
