CHAPTER L.

Introduces the Secretary of the Treas
ury of His Britannia Majesty's Gov
eminent at Nassau, New Provi-
dence, Bahama Islands.
During the summer of 1908 I was
paying what must have seemed like an
interminable visit to my old friend
John Saunders, who at that time filed
with becoming dignity the high-sound-
ing office of secretary of the treasury
of his majesty's government, in the
quaint little town of Nassau. in the
island of New Providence, one of
those Bahama islands that lie half
lost to the world to the southeast of
the Caribbean sea and form some
what neglected portion of the British
West Indies.
Time was when they had a sounding
name for themselves in the world;
when the now sleepy little harbor
gave shelter TO rousing freebooters
and tarry pirates, tearing in there I'M
der full sail with their loot from the
Spanish Main,
But those heroic days are gone, and
Nassau is given up to a sleepy trade
IN sponges and tortoise she'll, and
peace is no name for the drowsy tenor
OF the days under the palm trees and
the scarlet poincianas.
Here handful of Englishmen,
clothed in the white linen suits of
the tropics, carry on the government
after the traditional manner of Brit
ish colonies from time immemorial,
each of them, like my friend, not with
out an English smile at the humor of
tne thing, supporting the dignity of
oIlces with impressive names-lord
chief justice. attorney general, speak
ct Oh the house, lord high admiral,
colonlal secretary and so forth.
MY friend the secretary of the
treasury is man possessing in an I'M
common degree that rare and most at
Facuve of human qualities, compan-
,ohaDleness. AS we sit together in the
hush OF his snuggery of an evening,
surrounded by guns, fishing lines and
oio prints, there are times when we
scarcely exchange a dozen words be-
tween dinner and bedtime, and yet
we nave all the time keen and sat
,siying sense of companionship. 1t is
oolh Saunders gift. Companionship
seems quietly to ooze out of him,
"l.hout the need of words.
ana occasionally we have as third
u those evening conclaves big, slow
smiling, broad-faced young merchant

one must not forget the one subject
O =" which now and again the good
piafile Webster achieves eloquence
- spite of himself-duck shooting.
e Sohn Saunders subject is shark
as,1ihg. Duck shooting and shark
nslllng. It is enough. Here, for SEN
,'oie men, is sufficient basis for life
lons friendship, and unwearying, in
eAnaustible companionship.

The Pulaskian., 1919-09-19

Good morning, Mr.. Saunders" said
an unpleasantly soft and cringing
voice.
Good morning" said John, some
what grumpily, what is it you want?'
1t was some detail of account, which,
being dispatched, the man shufled off,
With evident reluctance, casting a
long, inquisitiye look al us seated at
the desk, and John, taking up the man
uscript once more, resumed:
sum of one million and one
half dollars-buried at a cay known as
Dead Mems Shoes near Nassau, in the
Bahama islands. About fifty feet $50 ft)
south of this Dead Mems Shoes is q. rock
on which we cut the form of a compass
And twenty feet GO ft.) East from the cay
is another rock on which we cut cross
CX). Under this rock it is buried four feet
a ft) deep.
The other is sum of one million dollars
Isl 000,000). 1t is buried on what was
known as Short Shrift island; on the
highest point of this Short Shrift island
is large cabbage wood stump and twenty
feet GO IT'D south of that stump is the
treasure, buried five feet 6 ft) deep and
can be found without difficulty Short
Shrift island is a place where passing
vessels stop to get fresh water. No great
distance from Nassau, so it can be easily
found.
The first pod was taken from Spanish
merchant and it is in Spanish silver
dollars.
The other on Short Shrift island is in
different kinds of money taken from diff
ferent ships of different nations-it is all
good money.
Now friends. I have told you all that is
necessary for you to know to recover
these treasures and I leave it in your
hands and it is my request that when
you read this, you viii at once take steps
to recover it. and when you get it, it is
my wish that you use it in a way most
good to yourself and others. This is all
ask.

MUST THE KITCHEN PASS.

Must the kitchen pass? 1t seems
so. Mother can't do all the work. and
hired help cannot be had, though the
hours of work have been shortened,
higher wages are offered and the SER
want may become an honored member
of the family If only she viii stay and
help do things in the kitchen.
But not America alone is suffering
from a servant famine. French house
holders are as helpless as our own.
Women there are taking the places of
men-men dead or disabled-in the
business and industries of the country,
and they are serving in the hotels and
tenanted
This situation has brought to the
front the community kitchen idea, so
extensively tried in England during
the war, These were not soup kitchens
or bread stations, but were self-sup-
porting democratic Institutions owned
by the communities and patronized by
all classes. In most cases the food
was not eaten on the premises, but
taken heme by the patrons who
brought their own containers. Some
of these kitchens delivered the food
to the homes or to distributing sta
tons.
The community kitchen has been
tried in many parts of the United
States and it never has ben popular.
The American home IL not ready to
give up the kitchen. If some way can
be found to maintain It without max
ing a slave of the housewife.
To omit the kitchen would be to
leave out the chief Joy of home for
the average American boy or girl, nor
can the grown-ups easily forego the
fragrance of the buekwheat cakes and
coffee in the morning.
The institution may demand some
sacrifices, but after all, 1t is the CEN
ter of the home, and radiates its cheer
through the whole house. 1t is about
the table that the family really be-
comes acquainted. and the fellowship
of the home circle deepens.
The kitchen may pass in spite of all
protest; but if it does many good
things to eat and many cherished and
happy moments will go with it,

WILSON'S NARROW PARTIsANIsM

England Strengthened out her war
problems when the government quit
trying to run a war as a party affair,
and established coalition cabinet, in
which all parties. were represented.
That gave all elements a chance to be
heard, and it drew the wisdom that
was needed from all sources. 1t con-
centrated the entire strength of the
nation in the administrative body, and
enabled the entire force Of the nation
to make itself felt.
The American war was run on a diff
ferent principle. None but democrats
could be trusted in the inner govern
ing body. No wicked republican. no
matter what his services. no matter
what his genius could do for the ma
tional cause. was permitted to enter
the cabinet council.

1862, when he went to the democratic
party for his great war secretary,

Under -Belsheyistic system. re-
sources would be used wastefully, as
people would feel that no incentive to
thrift and economy was given them
Under the shiftless and inefficient
control of politicians, machinery, rail-
roads, and other means of production

constantly be in a state of disrepair

The system of private property Is
attended by some evils. BY fair taxa
ton, elimination of profteering. and
honest and sound government, these
evils are perfectly removable. But
with all faults, the system of private
property does accomplish two things
First, it stimulates every worker to
create his maximum product.
Second. 1t stimulates every thrifty
person to save money. exercise
economy, and keep the productive
facilities of the country in the best
possible condition.
An economic system that accom-
plishes these two fundamental aims
does more than any other human
ingenuity ever conceived

HOW BOLsHEyIsM WOULD
et WORK.

Economic we'll being depends upon
two factors, ofwhich the first is labor.
Incentives must be given to every
worker and every organizer to do his
best, and turn out his maximum pro-
duct. Under Bolshevism there would
be no motive for anyone to improve
or increase his product. Production
would drop to low volume and famine
conditions would exist. iefe
For economic we'll being, there must
be abundant capital to create ma
chinery, tools. plants, etc. All these
means of production are constantly
wearing out and must be replaced.
New inventions and labor saving de-
vices are constantly needed to make
production cheaper.
The system of private property en-
courages thrift and economy. 1t in
duces people to save the capital with
which railroads. ships, factories,
mines, farm property. water powers.

MORE ECONOMY AND MORE
PRODUCTION.

More economy and more produc-
ton, is the remedy for the high cost
of living recommended by the federal
reserve board. The suggestion of d
contraction of the currency as a rem
edy is scorned. as it should be.
I But there must be greater produc-
ton, and that does not necessarily
mean more hours of labor, but II
means more productiveness of. the
hours of labor.
Nothing more harmful has appear
ed in the life OF this or any other
country than the Idea that reduction
of production per man makes more
work. The belief that there is only a
limited amount of work to be done in
the world is an economic fallacy
Lower the price of an article and a
demand springs up for it. Henry Ford
demonstrated that fact when he pro-
duced the cheapest automobile, and
he made one of the great fortunes OF
the world thereby. The work to be
done in the world is never finished.
and 1t never will be. SO long as there
are people with ever increasing wants.
Never was the work to be done so
unlimited as today. when there Is a
shortage of millions of mem who lost
their lives in the war or were In
capacitated through wounds or dis
ease, We are told by Mr.. Hoover that
we must supply Europe with 10000
600 tons of foodstuffs. whereas. be-
fore the war; 100000 tons was
enough.
Industry Is living organic institu-
ton. Its opportunities are not closed,
nor have its fields been mapped out
and chartered. Higher wages. shorter
hours and greater profits can be
legitimately earned only by improve
ments in the methods of production
and increase in product. This ought
to lower the cost of production and
the sale price.
That is the result we want to strive
for 7"t' - ftfe ~ F'-'
