Dinner Stories

"You baggage smashers seem to
handle things more gingerly than you
used to- remarked the travelling sales
man.
"If we don't" said this station agent,
we find it is likely to leak"
The rope that held the scaffolding
had all but parted. One strand saved
the luckless. Clancy on the platform
from being dropped to the pavement
many stories below. While the fore
man and his aids were rushing few
erishly hither and thither seeking a
ladder something slipped from Clan
cy's hip pocket and crashed onto the
sidewalk. With a wall he turned up
toward the roof, where his comrades
were hanging onto the last strand:
Hey. Mike he beloved. "get an
axe and cut the rope!"
"Ethel,' he whispered, will you
marry me?"

coyly. a.,. .~.... ~ -. .,.J..s.. :.

amcable understanding arrived at with Great
Britain before any change is made in canal tolls.
Americans will not tolerate their congress plac
ing them in that abhorred class that declared, in
the case of Belgium, that treaties are merely
scraps of paper" Congress must keep our
national honor unsullied among the nations Of the
world.
Aside from the international aspect Of the
question, however, the Panama canal was built
with money raised by taxing all the American
people. Every section of our country contrib
uted it's share toward the cost of this great
achievement. Therefore, in the matter of tolls
no one or two sections should be benefited to the
exclusion of all the rest. All sections should be
impartially treated. This only be done by
maintaining tolls that apply equally to all ves-
sells that use the canal. That is true, untarnished
Americansm.

Monopoly Again

Eastern manufacturers are behind an attempt
to have Panama canal tolls on American vessels
plying between Atlantic and Pacific ports of the
United States abolished. They would have such
ships use the canal free of cost. The reason is
plain. The saving in tolls would result in lower
ocean freight rates between Atlantic and Pacific
ports, enabling eastern shippers to quote lower
prices on their products to western purchasers.
The fasteners scheme is unjust and unprin-
cipled If tolls on coastwise traffic, as it is
called, abolished, the loss of that revenue will
necessarily have to be made up by increasing the
tolls all other vessels using the Panama canal.
This means American ships using the canal on
their routes to South America and the Orient, as
we'll as foreign.
AS we'll might the easterners demand the
privilege of shipping goods by rail from, say
New York to San Francisco free of charge The
effect of this on competition between eastern and
middle western shippers for Pacific coast trade
can be easily seen. There would be no competi~
ton. The fasteners would enjoy monopoly of
the far western trade.
That monopoly is exactly what the easterners
are aiming to obtain if they can succeed in their
little scheme to abolish canal tolls on coastwise
traffic. Freight rates by water carriers are al
ready and always have been far less per mile
than by railroad. Relieved of paying canal tolls
in their water freight rates the fasteners will
have differentia that middle western shippers
paying railroad freight rates cannot meet. The
effect of this on Richmond manufacturers who
are competing with fasteners for Pacific states
trade is obvious. It's ultimate effect on employ
ment for Richmond workers and on business of
local merchants is equally apparent.
Before the United States could go ahead and
build the Panama canal it was necessary to make
some arrangements with Great Britain, which
also had some interests in the isthmus. This was
done under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. Great
Britain has objected to the proposal to grant free
tolls to American coastwise shipping because the
naturally higher tolls that will have to be levied
on all other classes of shipping will vitally affect
her merchant marine that the canal She
has raised the point that such action will amount
to violation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.

tied by our best international lawyers and an

A Masterpiece By WINFIELD SADLER

e. 1921. Western Newspaper Cnio1-} For years Herbert Bainfield had aimed to be an artist, but many things had stood in his way, principally the lack of money; but six months be fore an uncle had died, leaving him and his sister a modest sum, and Her bert had commenced to study art He had taken lessons, then started off on a sketching trip through the South, for il was then winter. On his return he rented a studio, devoted himself to his art, painting steadily for q week. No one, not even his sister or The Girl had been admitted Now he was giving a house warming. and behind an embroidered silk curtain was the result of his efforts
 What's the subject of your pie ture?" asked the one who thought he might make good on houses. She knew that real estate had formerly been Herbert's business.
 I'm keeping it secret" he re- turned gravely, and Mabel. his sister, chimed in:
 'Yes, a really and truly secret. Why, not even Helen has wormed it out of him." and all the company present realized that If Helen Smith could not make him tell no one could for she was The Girl, a fact which everyone. including Helen herself, knew very well As yet Herbert had not had the courage to tell her so, so he did not know whether he was The Man or not.
 Tell us Put an end to the misery" suggested the young man who had asked if Herbert could paint, and the tea and sandwiches being all con sumed, Herbert walked slowly across the floor to the silk curtain. Pausing an instant. the young man viewed the crowd. He saw Helen, of course, but was delighted 10 notice Hammond. He was art critic on the Courier. and Herbert knew he needed the good will of those who might not appreciate his artistic efforts. To tell the truth, though, Hammond was there because Mabel was. He would have sacrificed himself much more than this for her sake.
 Ladies and gentlemen, and hon. ored critic" remembering Hammond just in time
 "I am glad 10 meet you there, I would say greet you here, l mean beat you where. Really. I mean you are welcome" and he polished of his face with a paint rag, hastily caught up. thereby decorating his face in a man. ner more startling than becoming.
 'Yes, you are welcome, I'm well come, Hammond is welcome, and we're all welcome" he managed to get out.
 Lets welcome each other" mur- mured Hammond. and then stopped, touched by Mabels appealing eyes.
 'Yes, of course We are all well come" Herbert foundered, but Mabel helped him out by suggesting:
 Show us the picture"
 ITO be sure, the picture. I'll show it to you and you'll see then whether or not I'm an artist-if I'm not an ora- tor" and Herbert beamed, flourishing the paint rag.
 T call my picture A Quiet Cos sip" Herbert continued, suddenly drawing the curtain.
 There was silence; then Helen gave sob. It was awful.
 Women can always be counted upon to rise to the occasion. The picture
