benefit of one inconsiderate class.
We have learned that Congress is
easily stampeded if the pressure is of
a certain kind and is of sufficient
force. II yields, often, to the loudest
clamor. and through this demand it
may. possibly, be hurried into action
that will mean the destruction of our
entire national fabric.
From the reports coming from the
strikes it would seem that individual
and local bodies walked out without
anything from the general headquar-
ters of the various bodies and in the
face of a referendum of the members
which is now being taken but whose
results are entirely uncertain. II they
will not acknowledge their own au-
thority, if they will not acknowledge
the authority of the United States
Government, we are indeed in a bad
fix.
But it should be remembered that
these unions form but an inconsider-
able part of the people Of this country.
Take the whole membership of labor
organizations and they do not con-
stitute anywhere nearly a majority
of the people. There is an exceeding
ly large class who are affected by
these demands who are not members
Of unions, and their interests are
as much to be consulted as are those
of labor organizations. Their rights
are also to be considered. They have
the same interest in reducing the cost
of living as have labor unions. They
have the same right to participate in
the profits of the railroads as have
railroad operatives. They have the
same right to demand that the Govern
ment surrender it's functions to them
as the railroad operatives have.
If all classes should rise and make
the same demands as are now being
made, backed by the threat of gen.
eral strike, chaos would come almost
instantly, Government would disap-
pear. and human life and property
would not be safe for another minute
1t would be going back to the days
of barbarism where every man was
for himself and the strongest took
what he wanted.

DANGER IN THE THREAT

The peremptory manner in which
the recent railroad strike was called
shows that those who went on strike
are, not willing to obey their own
laws, and will not yield to the authori-
ties whom they, themselves, have set
over them to guide and direct them.
Under such conditions, if not i'm
mediately corrected, there will come
| serious divisions in the ranks of labor
that will eventually weaken their
cause.
While there are no authoritative fig
ures as to the demand in this country
for the Government ownership Of rail
roads, it is quite clear that the vast
majority of the people are utterly
opposed to the proposition now ad-
vanced by certain railroad operative
unions.
The strikes recently inaugurated for
the ostensible purpose Of either Sc
curing an advance in wages or a re-
duction in the cost of living, have for
their ultimate purpose, if they can be
said to have definite aim, the COM
pelling Of Congress, or the country,
to purchase the railroads and turn
their operations over to railroad men,
with joint control by the public, for
the benefit of both.
We cannot separate this demand and
these strikes, coming as they do from
the same group Of men at the same
time.
Clearly the demand for public own
ership, with control by class Of op-
eratives, is a one-sided proposition,
and erects class distinctions in this
country that are contrary to every
principle of our Government. Public
utilities must not be operated for the
benefit of one class; they must be
conducted for the benefit of the whole
people.
If railroad operatives are to be
given control, even joint control, of
the railroads, there would be no log
ical way of denying to cotton oper-
atives the control of all cotton mills.
for the benefit of the cotton opera
tives; nor for the control of iron mills
for the benefit of those who make the
iron; nor for the control of shoe manu-
factories for the benefit of those who
work in the shoe factories. That is
the soviet program. We need not GO
very afar afield to ascertain how it
works in practice.
The dangerous feature in all this
demand is the threat that there will
be a general strike of all labor, unless
Congress speedily complies with this
demand for the appropriation of the
railroads from their owners and their
appropriation of them for the use and

able thought that this country would
never be disturbed by any real at
tempts to put the soviet theory into
practice here, because as we believe
the people of the country were too in
telligent to take any risks of the kind.
This demand indicates that we were
not speaking by the book, and that
there is very real danger that here
will be an attempt to establish the
soviet here by and through bolshevik
methods-provided the more level

He forgot to greet the Mexican. She
stood waiting; her eyes full of him.
Surely, the kind senior had something
to say to her? He had taken the white
girls hand. He was staring into the
white girls eyes. Something came to
her, q memory like forgotten music.
Silently, she slipped away into the
night.
Richard would not release Innes'
hand; her eyes could not meet the
look in his.
"Come out and have a walk with
me! You were not going to tell me
you were going. You were running
away from me?"
"You know that | love you! I have

"Ah, but you loved Gerty!" That
slipped from her. She had not meant
to say that!
"Does that hurt?' Abashed by her
own daring, yet she was glad she had
dared. She wanted him to deny it.
For he would deny it? She wondered
if he were angry, but she could not
look at him.
The minutes, dragging like weighted
hours, told her that he was not going
to answer her. 1t came to her then
that she would never know whether
Gerty's story were wholly false, or
partly true. She knew, then, that no
wheedling, wife's or sweetheart's,
would tease that story from him. 1t
did not belong to him.
His silence frightened her into ar
ticulateness. He must not think that
she was foolish! 1t was not that, in
itself, she meant. The words jostled
one another in their soft swift rush.

fore. He had liked the sort of woman
he had thought Gerty was. She her.

orders that Eduardo was closer to Mar
shall than to him. "As near a son as
he'll ever have" He turned a minute
later to see his chief standing bare
headed. His own cap came off.
"We're burying the lad" said Mar
shall.
The minute of funeral had to be
pushed aside. The river would not
wait. Train after train was rushed on
to the trestles; wave after wave hit
them. But perceptfbly the dam was
steadying. The rapid fire of rock was
telling.
Another ridge of yellow waters rose.
The roll of water came slowly, dwin-
ding as it came; it broke against the
trestle weakly. For the first time the
trestle never shuddered. Workers and
watchers breathed as q unit the first
deep breath that night. There was a
change. Every eye was on the river
where it touched the rim of the dam.
Suddenly a chorused cry rose. The
river had stopped rising. The whistles
screamed themselves hOarse.
And then a girl, sitting on the bank,
saw two men grab each other by the
hand. She was too far away to hear
their voices, but the sun, rising red
through the banks of smoke, fell on
the blackened faces Of her brother and
Richard. She did not care who saw
her crying.

Richard was dining with the Mar

to pull out the next day. Hardin's

dismissed the woman. 'But she's

Richard, il was discovered, had
nothing to say on the subject of the
elopement.

Richard gulped down his coffee,
boiling. Mrs. Marshall, will you let
me run away early?" Why should he
give any excuse? They knew what he
was running away for!
He made his way to the little white
tent on the far side of the trapezium.
Innes, by the door, was bidding good
by to Sonora Maldonado.

from the tips of her limp fingers. His
mouth, close to hers, stopped there.
He whispered:
"You-kiss me, my girl"
Slowly, unseeingly, as though drawn
by an external will, her face raised to
his; slowly, their lips met. His arms
were around her; the world was blot
ted out.

against his ear. 1t was the Innes he

SIBERIA DESIRES U. 5. TO FINANCE
 THAT COUNTRY
President-Elect Suggests This Country Alone Act as
 Receiver.

London, May 28.-Proposal that the United States alone should undertake the whole responsibility of. the finan- cing of Liberia, is made by C. D. $. King, Secretary of State, and Pres ident elect of Liberia, who is visiting here.
 MT. King said that the negotiations for loan of $5,0O,0O0, ,00O from the United States government to Liberia had not been completed. At present there was an international receiver ship to which Great Britain, France and the United States were parties. "As this loan is to be used in paying off the existing international obliga- tions," said MT. King, it will neces- sarily follow that the United States Government will undertake the whole responsibility to administer our fin ances. Negotiations on these points are now proceeding between the Am ican, British and French governments and there may be withdrawal of Great Britain and France from the international receivership in it's pres ent form, as the receivership has not worked altogether satisfactorily.
 "lt would simply mean that atHinstead of our having financial representa- tives of three powers assisting us, in applying our finances to the needs of the country, we would have one set of officers and those nominated by the United States government" " MT. King expressed pleasure over the fact that the British and French colonies in West Africa proposed to bear out the use of alchohol as a bev- craze. "We in Liberia, are in cor dial agreement with this policy" he said, " and the adjoining countries may depend upon it. that if they decide to apply, prohibition, Liberia will work with them loyalty"
 Concerning the condition of the people of the negro race in America, MT. King said: "If there are in the United States still any people of ne- gro descent who are dissatisfied with their position there, Liberia stands open to them as home and as an opportunity for the development of their national desires"

TROOPS END TROUBLE
 IN WYOMING FIELD

CHEYENNE, Wyo, Nov. 21.-With the arrival tonight in Gebo of federal troops from Fort D. A. Russell. trouble between foreignborn and American miners, which has stopped production, is expected to end.
 The troops were sent last night fol- lowing reports that armed miners had prevented American miners from enter ing the coal mines. A report today said miners of this same racial ele- ment today had gone to Kirby, coal camp three miles from Gebo, and in- timidated miners with guns.
 A detachment of the Fifteenth cav airy under Colonel M. c. Bigelow and a detachment of former service men under command of Major F. NJ Bennett, private secretary to Governor Carey, left here last night and are ex- pected in Gebo tonight. The troops were ordered to disarm the radical min CTS and suppress illicit sales of liquor which have been reported greatly in- creased of late.
 Reports tothe Capitol late tonight said the troops had arrived at Ther- mopolis, the nearest town toGebo, the mining camp, and had raided 15 places including hotels, suspected of illicitly selling liquor. Only smal lamounts oi whisky were seized, the dispatch said

 EXPORT 0N DEC. 15
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-Emba bargoes on wheat and wheat flour will be lifted December 15, it was announced by the United States grain corporation late today.
 Lifting of embargoes on both ex- ports and imports followed the action of President Wilson in Washington today in signing a proclamation com pletely terminating the embargo con trol which has been in effect for more than two years.
 Control over embargoes first was exercised by the war trade board to protect the supplies of wheat and wheat flour for the allies. Later con- trol was taken over by Julius H. Barnes, wheat director under the wheat guarantee bill.
 Discussing the lifting of the embar- go, MT. Barnes said:
 This is one step in the necessary reconstruction of trade facilities broken by the war which must func- ton when the grain corporation ter inmates it's three years work. While ocean transport conditions and also disorganized international finance will 1 probably prevent free trading between merchants of the various countries for some time. it is expected that, step by step, international trade may be re- knit in the usual channels. Until this | is fully accomplished, the grain cor poration win continue to sell from its stocks of wheat and wheat flour, the foreign trade that is not supplied un- der private business initiative

PRINCE IF WALES
 HONORS ROOSEVELT

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The Prince of Wales laid wreath on the grave of Theodore Roosevelt today and later presided over function which would have had particular appeal to the former president. For one entire aft ernoon the prince was host to 1000 school children on board the Renown. At the princes own request the chil- dren were left free to wander at will over the warship.
 r The prince had wished to visit Roosevelt's grave at Oyster Bay, ac- companied only by his immediate per- sonal staff, but he found it impos- sible to avoid the enthusiastic crowds that have sprung pas if by magic whenever he has made his appearance in New York. When he arrived at the cemetery the roads in every direction were blocked with automobiles and many hundreds of pedestrians had trudged to the spot Some of the more thoughtless started to cheer as he left thecemetery, but the cheer was quickly suppressed.
 Luncheon at a neighboring country club proved a longer ceremony than had been estimated, and on his return to New York speed limits were thrown to the winds in order torelieve the princes expressed anxiety that he might be late toreceive his guests or therenown.
 1 The scene on board the warship 1T the afternoon was one of the most picturesque that has attended the princess visit to America.
