The mountaineer's bronxed face was
earnest and intent in the bright lights
Of the club. Steele thought he had
known his breed. Now he began to
have doubts Of his own knowledge.
He won't be; don't count on It." he
said humbly. ''The Failings have done
much for this region. and I'm glad

but don't count puch on this eastern

The bronzed face changed; possibly
shadow Of disappointment came IN.

repeated. "Yes-it's true that II he'd

"Afraid HI! He can't infect those

pounds and is hard as steel. Never

know Bill, Of course"
Yes, Steele knew Bill. Bill weighed
two hundred pounds. and he would
choose the biggest of the steers he
drove down to the lower levels in the
winter and. twisting its horns, would
make It lay over on Its side. Besides.
both Of the men assumed that Dan
must be only In the first stages Of his
malady.
And even rs the men talked. the
Drain that bore Dan Failing to the
home Of his ancestors was entering
for the first time the dark forests Of
pine and fir that make the eternal
background Of the Northwest. He was
wholly unable to understand the
strange feeling of familiarity that he
had with them. sensation that In
his dreams he had known them al
ways, and that he must never go out
of the range Of them again.
Dan didn't see his host at first. For
the first instant he was entirely en-
crossed by a surging sense Of disap-
pointment-a feeling that he had been
tricked and had only come to another
city after all. He got down onto the
gravel Of the station yard. and out on
the gray street pavement he heard
the clang Of trolley car. Many au-
tomobiles were parked Just beside the
station. some Of them foreign cars Of
expensive makes. such as he supposed
would be wholly unknown on the
frontier. A man In golf clothes
brushed his shoulder.

BEGAN LONG AGO

A supporter of the democratic ticket
in the last election writes to the
New York World to ask this ques-
tion:
What do the republicans intend to
do with the vast governmental pow
ers soon to be in their control in an
epoch Of falling prices, falling wages,
falling markets at home and abroad,
factory shut-downs, surplus labor and
increasing numbers of men out of
work. etc, ETC.?
Now. for history's sake, let us re-
cord that this question was asked
on November 6, four days after cleo
tion. The falling prizes, falling
wages, high interest rates, etc, has
been on the way for several months
and had reached such stage by the
time of the election as to impress
this democrat with the idea that the
republicans face an almost super
human task. And they do. The re-
publican party will! take charge of
the government at time when every
condition and circumstance is ad-
verse. 1t will require constructive
statesmanship of the highest order
to rescue the United States from the
chaos into which it has been drawn
by eight years of democratic rule.
But we should be thankful to
democratic paper for publishing the
communication of democrat. admit
ting that the conditions existed four
days after the election. The country
could not have been reduced to such
condition in four days, hence the
long list Of evils must have been
brought on before the result of ne
election was known.

FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 6. 1920.
RetTPnChment Needed.

The taxpayers Of this State are
looking for retrenchment in the
expense of running our State
government. While anxious for
ret. enchment, they realize th,t
the expenses for the ensuing two
years are likely to be greater,
and are willing to stand it. if al
disposition is shown by those in
control of out State affairs, TO
conduct the same economically
and with an eye single to the PEG
Tle's welfare. The people are al
ready too heavily burdened with
taxation and will resent the i'm
position of additi NAL taxation
which is unnecessary and can be
avoided through and by bust
ness management of the affairs
of our State.
Already, it appears, that the
expenses for the next two years
will exceed the income by APP
proximately 100000, and we
hear that a new source of reve-
nue. must be found, but there
viii be less need for a new reve-
nue., if number of useless off
COS are either consolidated with
others or abolished entirely.
The consolidation of the Office
of Automobile Commissioner
with the State Roads Comnis-
sion, TO. an example, would save
money. The adjustment of the
Office of State Auditor and plac-
ing the work done by that Office
under the Comptroller of the
Treasury, will also save money.
The looping off Of the member
ship of several Commissions will
save money. And there are still
other ways to save money, even
if it has to be done at the expense
of a few hungry politicians.
The fee system should be abol
ished and all Offices placed upor
a salaried basis. The fee sys
tenn is one of the greatest NUS
ances in this State and opens tbs
way for the INSCRIPTIONS to i'm
pose upon the poor. Aside from
this, the placing of all off ses up
on salaried basis would ever
mean more efficiency and bettei
service. 1t would mean NOR,
capable and better men in publ,
office.
Money can be saved the tax
payers of the State if those il
control of its affairs will take thu
bit in their mouths and abolish
all useless offices, the hungry
politicians who live off the tax
payer, to the contrary, notwith
standing. Let them get out anC
do real work like the saloon
keeper and bartender now has t,
do to earn their livelihood.
Retrenchment must be had
though it be slow, until our Stat,
gets back on its pre-war basis.

NEW YORK, July 26.-Today's stock exchange session was again given over largely to professional traders That element made vigorous extension of recent commitments on the short side, meeting considerable success in the absence of public support.
