turning TO me with an apologize air.
Il forgot yOu don't know all that
we have done" she said. Mr.. Drake
has a man in tow who was an assoc
ciate Of our cherubic acquaintance
in one of her particularly hectic es-
capades. one for which the authori-
ties OF a certain city would particu-
larry like to see her. He thought il
might be a good idea TO have him

we want on her

sion Lillian's words called up. The
very atmosphere into which we were
entering was charged with crime and
disgrace. As 1 looked up / saw Allen
Drake watching me solicitously. but
he turned his eyes abruptly toward
Lillian.
You know" he said hesitatingly
Chat IL really isn't necessary for Mrs
Graham TO come with us tonight.
We have all the proof we need

behind bars. But she no doubt will
never annoy Mrs. Graham's father
again"
You're brilliant man. Allen
Drake" Lillian interrupted. I've
no doubt you're kind 10 your parents
and have sound views on politics and
religion. I've no doubt also that
you'll train your wife in the way
she should go when you get one.
Eut you've something yet to learn Of
the ways of a woman when she has
a revengeful bee in her bonnet AS
long as that woman thinks Madge
is in ignorance OF her fathers past
nothing on earth is going TO keep
her from spilling the beans.
"Of course, she won't blackmail
Madge's father any more, but there'll
always be the danger that when her
FIRST fright is over shell try To com
municate with Madge in some way,
and there's more chance that Mr..
Gordon will find it out, That we
mustn't let happen, He's an old
man, and obsessed by the fear that
his daughter will learn about this
woman. No, Ia like 20 spare Madge,
but there's no other way, She must
confront the woman and let her
know that there's nothing more her
venom can accomplish"
You mustn't think OF sparing

THE I. w. w. CONFESSION

Those officials of the l. w w. in Butte did not
tell us anything when they testified to the
Coroners jury there that the purpose of their or
ganization control of the industries of
the country through strikes and the slowing down
of production so that there would be no profits
in private ownership and operation. The facts have
been well known, yet this testimony put them
in such a way to dispense with the need of Of
fering proof 1t a frank confession that they
are trying to change the social, political and indus
trial fabric of the country through force-for such
a strike is a weapon of force just much as is
the sword and lot cowardly 1t is
appeal to reason. 1t is not an appeal to
sentiments of honor mercy justice. The strike
is designed to force people to yield their judgments
and principles through necessity
These Butte l. w. W. officials declare that they
would strike just the same they were getting $40
a day They are not after higher wages because they
should have more money to meet the cost of living.
They using the strike a political weapon,
just the strike has been used in Europe as a
weapon OF warfare to change the form of govern
ment. The /. w. w. and the radical labor papers
of Seattle and elsewhere less than year ago were
urging general strike throughout the country to
force California to give Mooney his freedom Now the
l w w. is striking avowedy to destroy the value of
property, and change whole system of living
and doing business
This of striking is revoutionary-as much
SO as was the intimidation of the McNamaras the
MONEYS and other dynamiters 1t is just revo-
lutionary it would be to take up for the
purpose of overturning form of government. 1t
is attempt of a minority of the people to force
the adoption of principles of which the majority
disapprove That is revolution, and it is sort of
that and freezes the innocent and
helpless 1t is designed to force people to sacrifice
and freedom in order protect the lives
those dependent upon them 1t is among the
most cowardy of all the forms of warfare devised
by ngenius revolutionists.

Luke McLuke SAYS

Remember the old tad who used
to hunt up big dirty cobweb every
time he cut his hand? What has be-
come of him?
A man finds it so hard to save
money when he is single that he
quits trying after he gets married
1t is wrong to say of wife that
she insists on having her own way
She doesn't. She simply has it and
let's it go at that.
No man was ever so absent minded
that he can't remember the money
you owe him.
The woman who married for a
Home sometimes has six fights q
week with her husband because he
won't take her out for her meals.
Never whip a small boy because
his ears are dirty The only time
some men get their ears washed is
when they go to a barber shop for
a shave.

MEXICO'S BEST BET

That Gen. Obregon will be President of
Mexico is the general opinion 1t is also generally
admitted that he is the strongest in that dis
tressed country. A of wealth, experience and
vision he also is good soldier and is credited with
strong executive capacity Hailing from a border
State and having spent considerable portion of his
time within the United States he is said under
stand the American people and realize fully that
contrary to the opinion of Carranza and a lot of
other Mexieans. America has designs on Mexi-
Mexico's development the best interest of her
the United States, the cultivation closer com
mercial and social relations with this country
That Oregon is ambitious is admitted but that
he is loyal when loyalty has been pledged has been
proved by many years of active life
Obregon's ancestry is said be Mexican and
Irish. and declared by those know HON that
he has lot of wholesome practicability and wisdom
of the Irish in his makeup He is good mixer
understands men, is not suspicious but knows how
to take of himself.
1t is all to the credit of Obregon to know that
he firm believer in and a close personal
friend of Madero, whom he gave loyal support.
1t is said that he adheres to the political philosophy
of that martyr to better Mexico. However, he
understands Mexicans and the conditions there, APP
preciates the need for strong arm and again,
clearly than did the victim of the treacherous
Huerta.
All things considered. it would look to the aver
outsider who has followed the situation south
of the Rio Grande less closely that if any
man in Mexico can set things right down there it
is Oregon He seems to be Merico's best bet

Credit Where Due
ATLANTA Constitution

ATLANTA Constitution
when | hear people say that America won the
war, said Sir George Paish speaking the other day
according to dispatch before large audience
in Queens Hall, London.
And there Sir George paused, finally finishing
his sentence, not in the way that is generally sup
posed to be popular among English folk not in the
way his audience expected him to say it, but with
two words delivered with emphasis and that
red surprise to his countrymen: Il assent" stl
More than that, Il go farther" Sir George went
lon to say
Il say that the by the
of America. In the years of
food shortage it the American wo-
who made it possible for us to have
enough food to go around. American
women ate maize that we might eat
wheat"
Sir George Paish is one of Great Britans fore
most publicists, international authority econo-
mics and an intense patriot, who played an import
ant part in aiding his country and the Allies to
carry on" throughout the world
What he says has weight; and it is gratifying
that of Sir Georges influence and position
lin Great Britain should stand before gathering
lof his fellow citizens and give the lions share of
the credit for winning the war, not only to America
but the of America.
Having disposed of the question of who won the
war; Sir George entered into a discussion of Amer

the people of Europe have driven out the militarisc

people satisfied. Then shall not need
to appeal to the American government to help us

lappeal to investors to give Europe the credit which
these tened countries must have If they to

Especially is this true with reference his state
