CHAPTER Xxx
recognized the man

VIRGINIA recognized the man
instantly. It was the same
figure she had seen step hastily
back into the shadows when she
and Nathinel were taking a taxicab
from the Russian restaurant. and
now she knew where she had first
seen him.
He was the man on the bus! The
man whose behavior had puzzled
her. She remembered how silently
he had come down the steps in her
wake on that occasion, how he had
slipped quickly away when she had
CHANGED to turn and find him
directly behind her.
AND now here he was. Virginia
was certain he had not been invited.
Hes spying on me-" she told her
self furiouSly, back in her room.
Her fury was not for the man
who had Swallowed her, however. 1t
burned hot against the person she
believed had employed him.
$50 that's how he knew where to
send the orchids!" she cried, think
ing Of Frederick Dean. And he
was the one who went to Mrs.
Phelps. I'm sure of It'll"
She was glad that she had not
attempted to find a position under
an assumed name If Frederick
Dean had set himself to hound her,
or interior, he could have made it
very unpleasant for her in that case.
AS it was she had an answer. She
was fighting, face to the world, and
she vowed silently that never, no
matter what the outcome, should
Frederick Dean hear her whimper.
Later she was to be even better
pleased because the newspaper
stories brought her many oppor-
tunities that otherwise would not
have come to her.
First of all, old friends came forth
with offers of a home, and Virginia
found great difficulty in refusing
them.
One by one they ceased to i'm
perfume her as her perfectly in
sane" firmness made itself felt and
they were thus compelled to take
her seriously.
Then the offers Of positions Of all
kinds began to pour in on her and
Virginia soon learned how valuable
her name was.
She could sell it for large SUMS If
she wished, and in regard to one
or two proposals she wondered if
she should not accept.
But consultation with Mr..
Gardiner put an end to her interest
in these. He warned her that I'M
scrupulous persons could make dis
honest use of the prestige that at
tached to the name. Virginia, in
fear of this, promptly turned down
all offers to pay for the use of the
Brewster name.
But the estate was still unsettled
and investigation had shown that
most OF the offers of employment
that were made to her were fig
ments Of some imaginative persons

rience such as she did not possess.
Some Of them she might have
been tempted to take had they come
to Viola Browne, but she felt en-

NO ONE KNEW GOFF

By Times Special
KANSAS CITY, June 11.-Senator
Golf Of West Virginia, "favorite SON.
candidate of his State for the presi-
Dental nomination, is a small and
somewhat unimpressive looking
man.
A score Of photog apherS, few of
whom knew him by sight, we're wait
ing at the Union Station, when he
came in Sunday.
But off the train at the same
time came a big, suave looking per-
son-probably an alternate delegate.
The photographers dashed after the
Dig man, and before he realized it
he was surrounded, posed and photo
graphed.
Then some who knew Golf saw
him departing and stopped him.
But the photographer had the
argument of his life to convince his
fellows that the little man from
West Virginia was really the presi-
Dental candidate.

OBSOLETE SPEED LIMIT SIGNS

Commissioner Babcock's decision
to remove speed limit signs from
State Trunk Highways, including
those portions that lie within the-lim-
its of villages and cities, is good
move for highway safety.
Many of the more forward-looking
communities long ago replaced their
antiquated fifteen-mile-limit signs
with the more sensible requests that
motorists drive reasonably through
their precincts.
There are times and conditions
when speed as high as thirty miles an
hour or more, through a village street
endangers nobody. There are other
times and conditions, when speed
of even ten miles an hour is extreme
ly dangerous.
If a motorist lacks the sense to
know for himself when thirty-mile
gait is safe and when a ten-mile gait
is unsafe, then he should not be driv-
ing a car at all. He should be ar
rested for unsafe driving. regardless
of what his speedometer shows.-Min-

RUSSIA SPEAKS FOR PEACE

We are optimistic enough to believe
that the world is moving closer to
world peace and disarmament with
each passing week. There have been
indications within the past week to
further strengthen that belief and
chief among these was the announce
ment that Russia will adhere to the
Kellogg treaty. .-. ra~.ess
To us it seemed mistake that that
great power was not invited to be one
of the original signators. M. Litvi-
noff, who speaks for Russia, complains
that the treaty does not go far enough,
and urges that not only war should be
of territory, and even the Withholding
of recognition which contributes to
the creation of an atmosphere favor
able to the outbreak of wars These
are all points that seem to us to be
well taken. ,z,s:
The fact that Russia is willing to
sign the treaty is, however, signifi-
cant assurance that war will be less
likely in Europe from now on.
Another important event in the
peace movement, as far as this coun-
try is concerned, was the appointment
of Charles E. Hughes as one of the
Justices of the Permanent Court of
International Justice. established by
the League of Nations. This is a
worthy recognition of one of the great
est public men which America has
produced and comes to country
which has consistently refused to as
sumo any of the responsibilities of
the League His appointment is GER
tain to stimulate interest in this coun-
try and lead us to a greater appreci-
alton of the Importance of the World
Court.
1t would seem to us to be entirely
proper that this World Court should
be made the body to arbitrate diff
culties rising under the Kellogg Peace
Pact. The Kellogg treaty specifies
no medium for arbitration and it
would be given great deal more
weight were this body the court of
appeal.-Minneota Mascot.

HOW TO DISCIPLINE PARTIES

There is usually a good argument
against boiling. where party regular
ity forms large part of public
mans assets. But while an ambitious
leader may shrink from boiling, there
is not the slightest reason why the
private citizen who is not in profess
sional politics should hesitate for a
moment to scratch his ticket and vote
in any election, local or national, ex-
actly as he pleases. This is the only
possible way to discipline parties, and
make them responsive to public SEN
timent.
1t is absurd for people in the south
to continue to be slaves of party
name. If they choose to vote for
Hoover, it does not make them Repub-
licans unless they wish to enroll
themselves as members of that party.
Nobody on earth could read a private
voter out of the Democratic party
because he might choose, in given
election, to scratch his ballot paper,
or to go hunting and stay away from
the polls.-Review of Reviews.

bumper crop is probably so named
because it bumps the price, not only
by bushel or bale but on the total
amount of money received. But the
cotton grower has less to contend
with than the wheat grower. The
former increases production II per
cent and takes IL per cent drop in
price. The latter increases his pro-
duction 90 per cent and takes 81
per cent drop in price, compared to
last year.
Not only in that respect has the cot
ton grower less cause for complaint.
OF the % million bales world prOduc-
ton for 1927, the United States pro-
duced Ii million. Within his grasp is
possible control of market and price.
But the wheat farmer of the United
States furnishes less than one-fourth
of the 3b billion bushels of wheat
produced in the world. His chance of
controlling the market is much small
er and it is further reduced by the
fact that he exports but 20 per cent
of his crop, while the cotton grower
exports approximately 60 per cent.
The Southern farmer is not watchful
and fearful of MeXico's cotton crop.
The Northwest farmer, however, is
watching Canada for its 500 million
bushel wheat crop which is in direct
competition with him. That is un-
doubtedly why, though the cotton
growers loss is large the wheat grow
ers' is even larger. World supply gov
erns Americas wheat price. Amer
ica's supply governs to much greater
extent the cotton price.

THE TARIFF ISSUE STRONG

The studied manner in which both
the Democratic platform and the &C
ceptance speech of Governor Smith
have avoided the use of the word
protection" is generally accepted as
proof that the theory underlying Re-
publican tariff making-that it is
written purely to protect home indus
tries-is not recognized by Democratic
leaders, in spite of the high sounding
phraseology of their tariff plank.
The effort of the Democratic plat
form to adopt the difference in cost
of manufacture at home and abroad
as the measure of adequate tariff pro-
lection recalls that leading Democrats
at the time of the adoption of the I'm
derwood tariff in 1913, during the
Wilson administration, asserted that
the cost of production theory had been
absolutely rejected" as a guide to
tariff making.
"In 1913, the Democratic ways and
means committee repudiated the very

RIVER DWELLER-MAN WITHOUT
COUNTRY

The people who dwell in households
on the river, of which class there are
several, may be likened to the Man
Without a Country" Recently it was
handed down in court decision that
two people living in houseboat on
the Connecticut river could not vote
unless they moored their bark on the
shore to live in the hereafter. The
question arose in view of the coming
Presidential election this fall, and
was too perplexing for the registrars
of voters of the city of Hartford to
answer, and a decision was finally
reached by Corporation Counsel Cole.
There are many angles to the law
governing the voting game. but this
seems to be the most unique that has
been called to our attention for some
time. If you want to vote. you have
to establish home and live there
for stated length of time before cleo
ton.

BALES VERSUS BUSHELS

The eyes of the Northwest are so
closely fixed on the price of bushel
of wheat that they are likely to over
look the price of bale of cotton.
Yet the cotton crop is even greater
in value than that of wheat. Upon
both staples the well-being of vast
population depends. That both suf-
fer like vicissitudes will be brought
home to the Northwest by the news of
the drop of approximately cent a
pound for cotton in the New York
market, following the issuance of the
government cotton crop report on Sat
urday. The report indicated an in
crease of ~ million bales or II per
cent over the 1927 crop.
The cotton producer is suffering a
severe penalty for overproduction, as
in the case of the wheat grower. A

ABIDE By THE GOLDEN RULE

This thought is taken from an edi-
torial appearing in last weeks Graf
ton, North Dakota Record and the
credit if this is masterpiece.
The time was not many years ago
when party affiliations governed con-
siderably, the association of the citi-
zens of a community. If one was a
Democrat, he was not fit to associate
with the Republicans, or if he was a
Republican, it was vice versa. Even
the children carried the hostility to
school, so deep had it been instilled
into their hearts. For six months
before election until several months
after, one party had nothing but SLAM
der for the other in many commune
ties.
But now, thanks to the broad-mind-
edness of the present generations, in
most communities that feeling has
been greatly confined to perhaps very
few, and in general the people, in
spite of their party affiliations are
broad-minded enough to realize that
no matter who is elected, We will
live during the next four years side
by side as before and much more
pleasantly if every one is on agree
able terms.
OF course, both of these instances
had exceptions, and we presume there
will be exceptions as long as time
goes on but it is the general trend
of opinions now to be agreeable even
though the election may go against
us.

PARTIES HAVE THEIR SAY

tariff theory the Democratic party of
1928 assumes to be the only correct
one." says Francis A. Adams, well
known economist of New York City.
Governor Smith would administer to
American business the same sleeping
potion as Cleveland and Wilson used
in 1892 and 1912. Both those Demo-
Gratis recommended tariff reform
Immediately after their election. re-
sulting in lowering of all duties,
which made it harder for American
manufacturers to do business and to
employ labor at good wages and for
American farmers to market their
produce at a profit"
The tariff issue is figuring more and
more in the clash of the two parties
in the eastern states. The progress
and prosperity they have experienced
for more than so years under Repub-
lican tariff policies is not likely to
be forgotten in the effort of the Demo-
Gratis to stress more sensational is

FEWER AND BETTER PAPERS

In a recent editorial the Duluth
Herald pointed out that in five years,
from 1923 to 1928, the number of
cities served by only one newspaper
has increased from 1872 to 915. 1t
goes on and states, that 'the decline
of political partisanship among news
papers has helped in this process.
Where newspapers felt that they had
to be party organs, naturally a city
must have at least one newspaper for
each major party. Now that field Of
ten is filled by single Independent
newspaper.
THE country has far fewer news
papers than it used to have, because
the pressure of costs and competition
squeezed out the weaker ones. But
for the same reason it has better
newspapers than it ever had before"

CANDID AND FRANK

While a strong partisan, Governor
Smith does not hesitate to give credit
to those men of opposite political
belief in public life who have stood
for the things he believes in. He
leaves no doubt in the mind of any
one as to his party sympathies and
affiliations. But if elected president
he will not hesitate to pick and
choose his appointments without re-
gard to sectional, political, religious
or purely partisan qualifications. He
shows a keen grasp of public affairs
and frankly says that if matters are
presented to him with which he is
not familiar he will confer with the
best minds in the country upon these
subjects and be guided by their find
ings and recommendations He makes
no pretense of knowing everything
that is to be known about world af-
fairs, but touches sufficiently upon
current events to indicate the trend
of his mind to the extent that the pub
lie can easily form a fair estimate of
the position he is likely to take upon
affairs affecting our foreign relations.
In no particular does he reveal a
disposition to be disturber of the
peace or trouble-maker for the sheer
opportunity of involving the country
in needless controversies. His speech
is not remarkable for its erudition or
rhetorical accomplishments. He does
not turn loose flow of words aimed
at the moon or try to sail the ship of
state through the milky way to some
star in the nebulous planets beyond
the blue, but he cracks down with
both fists on the things that affect
the affairs of the nation and particu-
larly the plain common people.
If there is a bovine in the AL Smith
corral he has carefully and securely
tied him on the outside, and with a
smile on his face and a wallop in both
fists he starts out to fight his way to
victory if possible, giving no quarter
and asking none.
Taken altogether it is the most can
did and frank speech ever made by
any candidate for the presidency of
the United States and to that end is
gladstone relief from the flubdubbery,
evasion and clap-trap usually INDUCED
in by most men in high places.-Tulsa

IN A BROAD WAY

It's big problem before the in
term commission and to solve it with
any degree of success it must be ham
died in big way.
The big problem of handling state
lands is not to be met by simply con-
solidating the sale of timber with the
fire prevention service of the forestry
department 1t is to be met only by
restoring the auditors office to its
full power of audit, and creating at
the same time a comprehensive de-
partment of state lands-as pointed
out 20 years ago by Iyerson and lately
repointed by Chase.
The problem of forest taxation is
not to be covered by bidding meas
ure affecting possibly 100000 acres
here and there or an occasional forty
in a woodlOt. 1t is not solved till a
measure is found that applies to TO-
100000 acres of land that will raise
trees or do nothing for the next 100
years.
The problem of reforestation is not
to be solved by measures for en-
couraging tree planting. Not one acre
in 20 needs to be planted. And the
acre that needs to be planted is the
last that requires attention. 1t is
the 10 acres growing trees to which
thought should be given. When any
one can afford to own forest bearing
land, the planting will be done. I'm
til then it is useless.
1t is big problem; it concerns, per-
haps controls, the destiny of one-third
of the entire area of the state. 1t
can be solved only by approaching ii
in big way and by measures that
apply broadly to all its acres.

HOLDING WHEAT

Frequently very frequently the
farmer is advised to hold his wheat.
Don't sell now, because if you do,
you will be losing money" is the ad-
vice that is given to the grower and
has frequently proven to be disas-
trous-when the word disastrous" is
used, the year of 1920 is brought
forcibly to mind. The writer is very
well aware what happened in that
year, having lost the sum of 80 cents
per bushel himself, after needing the
hue and cry of the wise Ones"
Of course, as all know, the year of
1920 was an exceptional year, every
thing seemed to be reconstructing af-
ter the war, but if more of the grow
ers had figured out the conditions and
the general trend of things, how much
different it could have been.
A good advice to the grower is Use
your Head" figure things out your
self and have uniform way of doing
things. DON'T let the other fellow
do all the thinking.
Some farmers have made money
holding their wheat, but especially
where the grower has a very high in
terest rate to pay, it does not seem to
pay in the writer's past experience
and association with the ones who
have done both ways, it has seemed
that the man, who has bills and in
terest to pay, was further ahead to
apply his grain income at the time
and where it was needed. Figure
things out for yourself-practice

A HARVEST DANGER

Almost every day in our exchanges
the harvest field being injured on or

those who do not come in contact
with information concerning these
grave dangers, this article is written.
These, like the deadly motor exhaust
the people will only take warning and
guard against this habit. Either
throw the fork far enough away when
climbing down from the load or stick
it in the side of the load while de-
scending to the ground. In many

The season of the year will soon be
at hand when it will pay to be on
guard while working on the motor of
your car or warming it up in closed
garage. First be sure that fresh air
can be circulated into the room where
the motor is running. The poison
gases take their toll every year among
the careless. 1t is a painless death,
but don't try it.

cases where death has occurred from
this practice, the victim had either
thrown the fork down and then jumped
on it or had slipped and had fallen
on the fork, and in almost every in
stance had died from the effects.
