idea sagely and dragging it out to a
great length.
Bob having had plenty of time to re-
volt, wouldn't promise to do his share.
He would call on Miss Miller again
to this he assented almost too readily
to please me-and he would comb Mex
! leo from the Rio to the peninsula in
search OF Babs, but he couldn't so far
forget his own honor as a gentleman
he couldn't coax Miss Miller into a
mock elopement.
"Elope with her in earnest then! l
don't carei" flung at him before them
all. OF course did care as only a
bride could possibly care, but at the
moment no possible sacrifice seemed
too great to make for that helpless
baby's sake.

man, so sympathetic, so lovable that
it was a comfort to feel his dependable
arm around me.
Morrison laughed as if he were try
ing to overlook disagreeable domes-
tic episode.
Bob flashed at me Indignantly:
"You don't know what you are say
ing!" Then he relapsed into one of
his silences and remained in it the rest
of the day.
But in the evening he dressed to
make another call upon our lovely
neighbor. He moved with an alacrity
which irritated me, but we didn't dis
cuss his visit as we had the others.

Love is conceded to be the deepest
of human instincts, the one which de-
termines the most important events in
the lives of men and women, which
makes them saints or sinners, rulers
Of earth or prisoners of misfortune
Love is held to be, also, transient in
stinct, by many modern writer's.
That line of thinking made me ex-
tremely uncomfortable, but l couldn't
avoid it, in the light Of Bentie's and
his fathers fault, and my husbands
temptation.
1t was wonderful to realize that love
shapes human conduct, it was so won
derful, 50 satisfying that /, bride
couldn't possibly believe love to be
passing emotion, except occasionally.
But, looked at in the light Of the
modern theory, how much depended
upon my husbands attitude toward the
advances made by Katherine Miller!
More than my poor heart was at stake.
If Bob failed me, my faith in love IL
self was lost forever.
Scruples concerning the ethics OF
my plan to have Bob elope with the
lady didn't bother MIR. Morrison at all,
The detective listened with a vast de-
light in the plot. lie said that if Bob
could locate the child by agreeing to
meet Miss Miller in Mexico, leaving
the town to be named by her, then the
plan was good In his estimation it
was poor plan only in case it failed!
The girl would give Bob the name
of the place which was uppermost in
her mind almost involuntarily, he
thought She wasn't highly educated,
probably. Such pretty women seldom
were, he had observed that they didn't
need to be. Probably her knowledge
Of the geography of Mexico was ex-
tremely limited. If she wasn't given
much time to think-was just jollied
along-any man would know how to
do it-probably she would mention the
name of the town which was hidden in
her sub conscious mind. And that,
very likely, would be the name of the
town to which she had sent the child.
Certainly the scheme was worth try
out

VOTES FOR WOMEN.

Women in more than half the states
now have full or partial franchise,
and will vote on the presidency next
year.
| When-there is no eff" about it
The states ratify the suffrage amend
ment to the Federal Constitution
which the senate voted yesterday to
submit women will vote on equal
equal terms with men in ALL the
states.
Which is right, just, fair. Nothing
else is fair, and without it-with Wo-
men politically ranked with criminals
and idiots-democracy is still a pre-
tense and not yet reality.
Will this amendment be ratified IN
time to let all the women vote on pres
ident next year? Not unless there
are many special legislative sessions.
Next winter is the off-year in legis-
lative sessions. In most of the states
the legislatures meet biennially, and
had their meeting this year. Next
winter, in the ordinary course OF ev-
ents, only these eleven legislatures
will meet: Kentucky, Louisiana, Mary
land, Mississippi, Virginia, Georgia,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York
Rhode Island and South Carolina a
very poor eleven to get even eleven ra-
tifications out of, not to speak OF the
three dozens that are necessary.
! Probably, unless the women can ex-
ert influence to have two or three doz-
en- governors call extra sessions the
losing fight of the opposition to equal
suffrage will at least have won this
victory; that the first nationwide vote
on the presidency will be postponed
until 1924.
Please, for your enlightenment on
this and other issues, examine yester-
days negative vote. There were sew
enteen Democrats voting no: sixteen
Southern B0urbons and Senator Reed,
bitter opponent of the League of Ma
tons.
There were eight Republican voting
no: Borah, Brandegee, Dillingham;,
Knox, Lodge, Mclean, Moses and Wad-
sworth-every one a bitter opponent
of the League of Nations. Yur Tory

THE RICH AND THE POOR

Editor Herman Haislet in his st.
James Independent last Thursday has
an interesting editorial on the subject
of the rich and poor IN which he says,
eve, read an editorial the other day
in one of the Twin City daily papers
dealing with the question of why the
rich grow richer and the poor become
poorer, and it Impressed US deeply be-
cause of the fact it presented fact
that all may observe but which is usu-
ally overlooked while we base our
complaints upon industrial and econ
mic conditions. The editorial in ques-
ton cited the fact that of the three
classes, the poor, the middle class and
the rich, the rich were the only ones
who gave heed to opportunity to buy
direct from the farmer, using the par
eel post as a medium of eliminating
The middle man. The poorer and the
middle classes chose to pay more at
tho corner grocery than to take the
trouble to place an order several days
in advance for farm produce and rea-
lie a saving on the transaction, while
rich, practicing the trift that had en-
abled them to become rich, took ad-
vantage of the opportunity to save
and the result is that only the rich pro-
fitted by a movement inaugurated
primarily for the advantage of the
poor. It must be noted that no one
is responsible for the failure of the
poor to profit by the direct buying
process, excepting the poor themselves
and it brings to our mind this all i'm
portant fact that thrift and thrift a
lone is the foundation for financial
success. We see the same thing de-
monstrated on every hand. The rich
man SHES at a proposition where the
poor rush in and the rich save while
the poor spend. This explains in
large measure why the rich become
richer and the poor poorer 1t is
proof in a measure of what we have
previously said that ''it is not so much
the high cost of living as the cost of
high living that keeps US poor" We
know, for we belong to the middle
class and there isn't fact set forth
in these lines that doesn't apply TO our
self as we'll as to our middle class
neighbor. But why complain about
conditions we fail or refuse to help
improve when opportunity presents
itself? Thrift and not kicking, will
spell the success we all desire"
julius Barnes of the United States
Grain Corporation, which handles the
pheat problem of the country, says
that the government will pay the
farmers storage on their wheat when
the elevators of the country are not
able to handle the crop. With fix
ed price there is no inducement for
the farmer to hold his wheat, but if
he is obliged to do so because of the
fact that the elevators are filled up
he will be paid storage for the time
he is necessarily obliged to hold the
same. This is playing fair to all con-
cerned and should meet with the ap-
.proval of every wheat grower The
storage will about even up any inter-
