Il wonder If am weakening? ?"
| asked myself wearily as l turned
my face to the wall after Kitty's
cynical exposition of life.
l heard her tiptoeing from the
room but did not move. She clos
ed the door softly-the hard
knocks of life make one under
stand If nothing else.
My frazzled nerves gave a little
shudder and I thought of the old
saying and wondered il it were
really true that someone was
walking over my grave, but con-
cluded Immediately that the shud
der was caused by the rustling
bit of paper with which my hand
came in contact. 1t was Theo-
dore Stratton's letter!
Slowly dropped it on the floor
and picked up the large white en-
velope addressed in Eddie Mont
forth's boyish hand. Just hand
ling this letter seemed to send
through my body an intangible
something that calmed me and
took out all the bitterness that
had filled me almost to suffoca-
tion.

FLEXIBLE CRAFTSMANSHIP.

Tariff makers at Washington are
inhexible on only one -point--there
must be a new tariff bill. In every
other respect they are as flexible and
resilient as one could desire. Proposed
Senate amendments to the Fordney
bill would establish a flexible tariff
by comforting on the President broad
powers of discretion in the application
Of customs duties to changing world
conditions. The factual rates would
be flexible within so per cent OF the
statutory rates. up and down. Ameri-
can valuation would be 100 per cent
flexible in the sense that it may be
applied or rejected in specific cases.
And when American valuation Is ap-
piled 1t would receive a second dose of
nexibility by being related to the
actual market value of fhe goods in
question. =.
! The principles Of non-rigid states
manship are being applied TO subjects
other than the tariff. There is the
soldiers bonus, for instance. II is
not to be straisht-oue bonus bill. but
flexible bill conditioned on the re-
covery Of our foreiNl debts. If the
foreign nations pay up, there ill b.

nations do not pay up. there will b,
no money for the soldiers, but there
will be nicely drafted bonus bill OF
the statute books. Possibly the bonu:
bill will be tied up with the sales ia,
instead Of with our foreign debts
possibly with both. Or the order may
be reversed and the sales tax will b,
used TO float the bonus bill into por

USE OF WINE.

Editor - Every Evening: have
watched with indoIcnt interest the
controversy In your paper about
whether or not fermentcd wine be
prohibited In the performance or the
Sacrament OF Holy Communion" until
L have asked myself why q question
OF such n nature should arise. Why
should the use of wine be prohibited
at all? Did we win our freedom from
England to be forbidden the enjoy
ment of these minor things? Even the
old Puritans, who were so instru-
mental In securing for us our liberty,
INDUCED sin moderate drinking. II
Patrick Henry had been living in the
present generation we would have seen
him in tho Senate, when the tVolstead
act was under discussion, informing his
mclllfluous syllables, his body erect,
his head thrown back. his eyes gieam-
ing, his face glowing, his arms ex-
tended In one OF his elucldative ges-
lures, making q servid speech against
n measure which he certainly would
have considered a Nreatcr encroach-
mcnt upon his personal liberties than
the levying OF q tax upon legal docu.
ments and tea by a British Parliament.
But Patrick Henry lived IN an age OF
deeds, and the lethargic legislators Of
our time permitted the ar6endmerit TO
pass.
a Senator recently remarked that
two million dollars have been saved
by citizens OF tho United States since
prohibition went into effect. How does
he account for the fourishing boot
i iegging" business, which has brought
4 in as much money 10 its Illicit dealers
as legitimate traffic in liquor ever
did? Previously the government used
to receive n comfortable sum OF money
from taxes on liquor. but since tho
Volstead act passed, the loss Of tina,
valuable revenue has to be conpensat-
ed by income taxes and in some States
by exorbitant poll taxes.
Before prohibition, men, because o.
inordinate drinking, might not have
