be finished quickly, between labor storms or in spite of them, and they promise the only considerable relief from the rack-renters that is in sight, in spite of the ample warning the city has had.
 Hundreds of contractors, men usu- ally of small means, who have under taken these buildings are gambling against rising costs and the delays of strikes and transportation of material, with profits as the stake and often bankruptcy as the forfeit. In thelr adventurous way, they are serving the city and it's people.
 And it is upon the little wooden houses. with their gardens and their light and air, that the blow will most heavily fall if the plans of traction magnates for zoning and double fares succeed.

 The placing aside of the sum of S25,00O yearly to be paid to ex-Presi- dents of the United States or their Widows through the Carnegie Cor poration's Presidential annuity fund IS a matter that is extremely novel, though worthy of appreciation by the American public. It is a subject that might have been taken up by the United States itself if this had not come about. Pensions for Presidents are assured by the deceased at the present time. In one particular in stance we are collecting on the pen sion fund, that being the case of eX- President Taft, who is to receive ten thousand dollars a year. In the days of high living and low salary he could scarce afford to follow the profession of teaching, of lending his vast knowl- edge and experience to the growing man, unless relief came from other this profession and may now follow it with ease, a fact which many of the coming genera tion will have reason to be thankful for.

 Aug. 28, 1919. Editor of the IIerald:
 Have read With great interest re- garding the soldiers parading during Old Home Week. What any organi- zation has given the boys is nothing compared to what they gave The boys had one welcome home last spring-one they have not forgotten, and when we think of it, can we blame them for not para ding? All the unfriendly feeling that may exist between the soldiers and others can be settled in a very few words;-just treat these boys right and they will come back and be glad to do so. They are worthy of the most and best we can give them, and if this is done, there will be no more controversies.
 A FRIEND OF THE SOLDIERS. Very truly,

physical wreckS and it's the duty of us all to rem ember the cause, what they gave for their own home folks. They were only boys, but they acted like men. Let us remember that. We can't blame them for feeling as they do. But if each one will do our part and treat them with respect instead of insulting them, (because they were soldiers) we will find the boys as they were once, ready and willing to do all in their power. When we were in danger we were glad of their services. I have often felt ashamed because the name of my boy was on the honor roll in town which showed so little appreciation and l know others have felt the same. There is no reason for it if we all do our duty toward the boys.
 Truly yours,

An Evil Spirit.
(New York Tim eS. )

Some time in 1786 subsequently, famous citizen of Connecticut, Noah Webster, addressed his fellow citizens in an article with the somewhat per- sonal title, "The Devil Is In You" A spirit of uneasiness of dissatisfaction and disturbance, pervaded the thlr- teen states. The confederation had broken down. The people were in debt The currency was debased. Opposition to the law and the courts was shown in some communities Wild financial schemes were pro- posed. People were in doubt in un- certainty. If the making of con- stitution, a stable form of government and a sound financial system had been delayed many years longer, no doubt such sporadic disorders as Shays' rebellion would have been multiplied.
 The devil is in you:' cried Noah Webster to his countrymen. "Why do you spend money on luXurieS and yet complain of your taxes? Why do you demand bad legal tender? Why are you impatient of authority?' The people might have replied with jus tice that their affairs were in bad position, that they had good reasons to be uneasy and alarmed. What was wanted for the beginnings of pros perity was certainty and confidence.
 If Noah Webster were alive now, he might address an article of dia- bolic title to those senator's Mir. Rrandegee of Connecticut and the rest, who see a large part of the world ruined and all the world uneasy; who see international exchanges demoral- ized, trade and finance everywhere waiting for the ratification of the peace treaty; and let the demoraliza- tion go on and business wait feed ing fat their grudgcs against Mir. Wilson and hindering the welfare of their own country and the restoration of work, production, agriculture, in dustrv, and commerce in most of Flu rope and in much of Asia.

\ Sound Proposition.
(BristOl PreSS.)

At last one individual speaking be- fore a congressional committee has hit upon a suggestion of prime inn
 portance, one that should be heed ed and worked out. He says that rail employees must be obliged to waive the right to strike when accepting employment. Recent events have shown beyond argument that some thing of this sort must be done to give the public the protection to which it is clearly entitled. The right of the many is far and away superior to that of the few. When men en- ter the army or the navy they make no objection to setting aside all priv ileges of collective quitting. Such requirement in transportation need not conflict with acknowledged right to organize or resign from the serV- ice individually, but it would prevent leaving in mass. Politicians on the eve of a great election will evade such a proposition as this, but eventually it must and will be met. The present condition is $ impossible of continuance as it is intolerable.

You phone to the office That you'll be late, Your car has gone bad At an unlucky date. The garage man repairs ii In a minute or two It costs one-fiftY per hour Or really twenty-two. When you oh the office You find a telephone oil It's grown twenty per Cer But you must keep still. If objections are made You're phone will go out, So empty your pockets And hand the cash out.

 After a catastrophe comes the in vestigation. The commission of white and colored citizens of Chicago ap- pointed by Gov. Lowden to seek a solution of the problem of race re- lationships in the western city Will at least make a notable study of the situation which eliminated in the re- cent race riots. Of l2 members seven are colored, giving the colored race a majority. The chairman Ed gar A. Bancroft is associated as representative of the white race With Julius Rosenwald and Victor F. Law son. two of the best known citizens of Chicago, and Harry E. Kelly and William s. Bond. Gov. LoWden does not anticipate an easy solution of the race question from his comm1s- sion What he hopes for is outlined in his remark that "these riots were the work of the worst element Of both races. They did not represent the great overwhelming majority Of and will remain here. The great ma iority of each realizes the necessity of their living upon terms of cor dial good will and respect, each for the other. That condition must be brought about" What is evidently sought is a workable mOdus VlVend1, which means simply patience, self restraint and respect for other peoples rights by all concerned.

 making report to his government.
 Captain Rydal, coastwise trader and
 fugitive from justice, sees the girl and attacks her. Her father comes to her res cue and in the struggle with a companion
 of Rydal kills him. Rydal pretends to arrest LeBeau, but hurls him over cliff,
 killing him.
 Burke returns just in time to see
 Dolores swimming from stream with
 the body of her father. He takes her to his home, where they are happily mar
 ried.
 Later Burke takes his wife on another exploration trip. They accidentally get
 on Captain RydaPs ship. ~He drops a heavy sail on Burke, seriously injuring him. Then he plots with a storekeeper in the Arctics to lose Burke in the ice fields so that he can secure the girl. Dolores hears of the plot and at the point of pistol forces the storekeeper to send her sled to the nearest settle ment. Rydal pursues, and is about to capture them when Wapi, a savage dog that Dolores has been kind to, attacks
 the dog team and kills or cripples the dogs.
 The couple finally get to the settlement and Rydal, lost in the ice fields, plunges | to his death in an icy stream.
