BRYANS appeal:The efforts of those who have been receiving an undue advantage at tiie hands of the government to "manufacture” a business depression have been exposed by President Wilson. Monopo ly• through its various channels of communication, Is endeavoring to have congress adjourn without passing the anti-trust bills that will protect th-* public from the many forms of oppression that they have suffered from for years past. The plan of the "interests" is to have big business houses writ* letters to their customers and request them to write the president, their con lressmen and senators, and demand that all trust legislation be abandoned for the present and that congress cd journ and go home, etc., on the pretext that the effort of the president to protect the people from monopoly 1. hur lug business. Chambers of commerce, commercial clubs, and other business organisations are being requested by various interested groups to pass resolutions requesting that the railroads b*> given permission to raise their freight rates five per cent, and that no antitrust legislation be passed at the pre sent session of congress. The presi dent is to be commended for his prompt action in giving publicity to the manufactured * business deprog sion scheme and for his insistence that the anti trust bill, .hall be passed before congress adjourns. Now is th* time for every citizen who believes in ' equal rights to all and special privi leges to none to take an interest in what is going on at Washington. Pres ident Wilson is lighting for legislatim. to protect the people against monopoly The reactionary senators and repre tientattves in congress, supported by big business,” are endeavoring tc block action by the senate and to force adjournment. If you believe in the Democratic platform adopted at Balt imore; if you believe the people are entitled to an "even break" with mm opoly before the law; If you believe in the anti-trust bills now before th. s.-nate; if you believe in the honesty of purpose of Woodrow Wilson; 1! you believe that it will be better for Imslness and all concerned to senle the trust question now rather than keep the matter In doubt until next tail or wialar, wire or write your sen a tor a and congressmen at once and give them your opinion as to whether they should stand by the president, or stand with those who are opposing the I Hat* The best expression of the Latest Ideas IMPERIAL STRAW HATS $1.50 $2.00 $2.5C & $3.00 PANAMAS and BANKOKS $5.00 wwnft — -i *i THE MYERS-DAILEY COMPANY

Katherine said, with gay cyni-eh-m. at their last Interview “We’m not the kind who settle down Brow, and be married, and then do nothing but give house parties and dinner par ties, and yachting parties, and all the rest of tt You were rich and nobody in particular, and I was poor and a Lorimer, and the wise little mothers simply saw a chance to found a dynasty of mutual benefit, and we drifted until they landed us under the orange blossoms. It is a little tangle of Yate s skeins. We can't go back and un tangle tt. but we can do the Alexan dee trick, and cut tt." He had agreed to the separation too readily, she thought. Even acknowl edging perfect indifference on both sides, a little hesitancy sould have been desirable. He had almost seem ed cheerful when he had asked her i what she Intended doing at Berber. "You haven't the ghost of a right ( to ask me.” she had told him, "but there is nothing to correal Martigny keeps up his summer classes still. You knew I studied under him there, and in Paris, too. when we were poor, before"—she hesitated, and went on with a light touch of bltterneas—"before I was the fortunate Mrs Hetherington. There is certain to be some of the old class left, and I can rest and study " “And be happy.” concluded Hetherington She had not answered. A sudden sharp rapping on her stateroom door startled her She caught her breath as she rose un steadily, and clung for support to the side of the berth. The moment ot danger had come "Kit! Let roe in!" 1 It was Hetherington’s voles. She turned the lock with steady fingers, a sudden peace strengthening her. He , paused in the doorway, tall and dark, ' and storm beaten In his dripping oil skins, his face white and grim as he looked down at her "Has ft come, dear?" she asked, lift Ing her face to him. "I'm not afrafß —with you " He caught her to him closely, and pressed his lips to hers with hungry intensity"Not afraid in death. Kit?" he said . bitterly. "Then why In life!" She closed her eyes and shrank cfoa er to him Death had become a friend to be met with smiling eyes and -welcoming happiness. As Hrherlngtoa raised his head „s le wa i tw | MpM-tant-ly The lurching and groaning had •lopped. She wondered If they were sinking, and tightened the clasp of her arms about hla neck as she smiled up at him. "How dear death is together," she said softly. "I'm not one bit afraid ” His eyes lighted with sudden comprehension. and he s'ood back loosening her arms. "The danger Is past." h«* said. '1 came to tel! you we had made the barber at St. Hilaire.
