Only the Bum at Hs esaUlasd la iti rtyert en GILDER Richard Watson Gilder died In New York, not long ago. As the editor of the Century, "and a literary man, his career was perforce sedentary and ac tion was not conspicuous. It is un necessary to recount the incidents of his life of his friendships. Dates and reminiscences do not throw any light on the life of such a man. Biographies do not satisfy. Nothing can portray the real and vital force which is the real measure of such a man, save his written words which is his life and monument. Amid the hurry and rush of selfish business in the great city of New York, Richard Watson Gilder lived and died. And he died unspoiled of any taint. He was the prophet lifting up his voice in the wilderness. Battling with great wrongs, with that apparently puny instrument of words. But what words they were vibrant and courageous, with the unpent indignation of a noble soul. In this generation it is thought that deeds and not words; action and not dreams; money and not character, are the potent forces. But the giant forces of selfishness felt the stinging' lash of the sedentary man who dealt only in words and verses. The corporation of Trinity, smug and eminently respectable, rich unto dreams of avarice, quailed before this man and his verses mere lettera on a printed page. ST. JOHN'S CHAPEL Guardians of a holy trust Who, in your rotting tenements. Housed the people, till the offense Rose to the Heaven of the JustGuardians of an ancient trust Woo, lately, from these little ones Dashed the cup of water; now Bind new laurels to your brow, Fling to earth these sacred stones, Give the altar to the dust!

Itere beside the frowning walls Where no more the wood-bird calls, WTiere once the little children played, Whose paradise ye have betrayed, Here let the temple low be laid, Here bring the altar to the dustGuardians of a holy trust! :And that was the thing which chang ed the attitude of Trinity corporation toward the poor; that is what awaken ed and quickened the consciences of men who do not read poetry, but who do look over the stock quotations with avidity. A poet and a dreamer, frail in body, but strong in spirit, he was more than a good American. Hems Gathered in From Far and Near The Crime of Zelaya. From the Philadelphia Press. The prompt and energetic action taken by our government in the case of Nicaragua is what we would natur ally expect of an administration gov erned by the true American spirit. The American people expect their govern ment to see to it that Americans in foreign lands are not imposed on, mal treated or killed with impunity. The British government set all civilized nations a good example in taking care of Its subjects in foreign lands. At one time when the United States was navyless Americans in foreign countries were feign at times to seek the pro tection of the British flag in emergen cies. That time has passed. The American government is able to look after Americans and American inter ests in other lands when the occasion demands, and in doing so it will have the earnest support and approval of the whole body of the American peo ple. Railroads and the Public. From the Boston Post. The railroad, whether it wishes it of not, holds different ground in the public regard from that of any other industry. It is a public service cor-

CONGRESS OPENS Today Congress opens. Today the so-called representatives of the people are assembled. Today Cannon is triumphant Today Big Business rejoices. Today the men who serve the people can be numbered. Today the men who serve the Interests are legion. Yesterday it was the tariff, and there is talk "about it, and about' tomorrow it will be what Cannon and Aldrlch please to allow. And yet it is not the tariff, nor the monetary situation, nor even the Insurgents and the Reactionaries that we are really concerned with. These are mere bubbles in the floating stream of passing history. It Is the old question which has made all the revolutions and which has overthrown governments and changed maps and" the constitutions of nations. It is the same old war of the many against the few in which the odds are always against the many. This you can see in village, town, county, state and nation it has been so since the beginning of things. Just now, because of certain rules which give a few men power. Cannon and Aldrich and their lieutenants have the power to pervert the wishes of millions of people into the means of their spoliation. Congress has opened. The ba'tle has commenced. The forces of the Selfish are relying on the people to forget.' But will they? The people can not win unless they stand firmly behind the men who are for them. The forces against the people never forget. The people have only won when they stood unremittingly behind those who really represented them. The people will win. They have every favorable sign of victory, if they will not forget the men who are battling for them. The people can win if they will only remember.

Much has been given to it, and much is expected of it. And in any event it cannot rightfully claim to be immune from discussion of the freest and fullest sort. If a railroad's operations are to suffer because the public is informed of them, those operations ought not to succeed. No Fear for the Lords. From the London Spectator. We are not in the least afraid of the liberals wanting to abolish the house of lords, though we own that we are sometimes afraid of their insisting on keeping the house of lords in existence for fear that if it is abolished, the nation will demand a much stronger and more efficient check on the action of the lower house. An Early Prophet. From the Houston Post. It is gratifying to read Chairman Mack's predictions of a democratic victory next year, but we wish him to remember that we first launched this prediction the morning after the last great steam roller passed over the prostrate form of our party. Patriotism and Coins. From the Galveston News. The government authorities will re spect George Washington's expressed wish that no coins bearing his likeness should be minted. It is not necessary that one who is enshrined in the hearts of his countrymen should clutter up 'their pockets. - - Obsolete Stairways. From the New York World.

Gonzaga Council of This City Has Just Entered Strenuous Campaign. aaaaHaaaaaaaa TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING Gonzaga Council, No. U12, Young Men's Institute, has just entered upon a strenuous campaign for new members. Louis F. Budenz, a representative of the Grand Council of the Indiana Jurisdiction of the Institute has been in the city for the last two daya. completing plans for the campaign, it is the hope of the officers and members of the council that at least fifty new members will be acquired during the next two weeks.

M. I. officers will be present at this affair. An entertaining program of amusements will also be furnished by the council members and talent from Indianapolis. Gonzaga Council is the only council of the Y. M.

The institute of which it is a subordinate council, is a fraternal organization for Catholic young men. HE PLEADS GUILTY Young Man Admits He Embezzled $20 From a Local Plumbing Company. IS SENT TO COUNTY JAIL Carl Vance, aged 20, was arraigned before Judge Fox in the criminal court this morning and plead guilty to a charge of embezzlement. He was fined $5 and costs and sentenced to the county Jail for 60 days. The defendant alleged he did not realize the wrong which he had committed. While collecting for a local plumber, he appropriated $6 from the account of Thomas Crabb. He went to Eaton and spent the money. He was arrested last week upon his return to this city. Vance told Judge Fox that this was his first offense and that he intended to see that the money was paid back to the plumber after he was released from jail and could get work. True--Wlore Do Than Don't. An old colored man who could neither read nor write and who had been found by his master to be deficient in his market book accounts blamed the butcher for tampering with his book. The gentleman of the house remonstrated by saying: "But. Tom, figures don't lie." "No," answered the old man, "but liars do figger. Ladies' Home Journal.

GREAT LOVE STORIES of HISTORY By Albert Pays on Terhune

Horatio and Curia this tCopjngot, by tut Amber.) Horatia was the daughter of a noble Roman family, in the ancient days when Rome was a small city and ruled by a line of kings. The nearby city of Alba Longa was Rome's chief rival for the supremacy of that part of Italy. In Alba Longa lived a young nobleman named Curiatius. who bad won Horatia's love. The two were betrothed. The girl had, with her own hands, woven for her lover a rich cloak of many bright colors. This cloak was the envy of the rough Albans and was the dearest possession of young Curiatius. The king of Rome was Tullius Hostilius, a warlike sovereign, who desired to make his city the strongest in all Italy. He began by declaring war on Alba Longa. A few border skirmishes started the hostilities. Then an Alban army under King Cluilius marched against Rome. Tullus and the Roman troops went out to meet the invaders and the . two opposing armies drew up in battle line, waiting their leaders' orders to begin the conflict. Then it was that the Alban king. Cluilius, sent a messenger to Tullus A Strange with the follow" Triple Duel. ln?,PPl"I: 2! said it was useless to sacrifice many lives in warfare when a smaller number might serve the purpose just as well. He therefore suggested that each side select three champions, and that these six men fight to the death. The army whose three representatives should be slain was to be declared defeated without further battle. The idea appealed to Tullus. He accepted the challenge and chose for Rome's champions Horatia's three brothers, known as "the Horatii." Cluilius selected young Curiatius and the latter's two brothers to fight for Alba Longa. Curiatius was thus forced to contend for his life and the honor of his native city against the brothers of the girl he loved. The three "Horatii" and the three "Curiatii" put on their armor and marched out into a great open space between the two waiting armies. There the strange triple duel began. For a long time the fight waged and the issie hung in doubt. One after another, at last, all three of the Curiatii were badly wounded. Two of the Horatii were slain outright. To the surprise of both armies, the third of the Horatii turned and fled. He was still unwounded. As he was known to be a brave man, no one could understand his flight. But the ruse was soon explained. The three wounded Curiatii pursued him fiercely. They did not keep together, but "strung out" some distance apart in the chase. As soon as they were so far apart that they could no longer assist each other, Horatius suddenly turned upon the one who was nearest to him. Rushing at the wounded, tired man, he killed him with one blow of his sword. Then, in the same way, he attacked and slew In succession the second and third of the Curiatii. Dragging from the body of his sister's dead lover the gorgeous cloak the girl had woven, Horatius threw the garment about his own shoulders, as a trophy, and was carried back to Rome on the upraised shields of his applauding comrades. He had saved the day for his city. Horatia, with the other Roman women, had been watching for the army's return. As her brother was borne in triumph through the gates she saw the cloak about his shoulders and knew what had befallen her lover. Eursting through the cheering crowd, she barred the victor's way. Weep ing and with dishevelled hair, she solemnly cursed Killed for Love's Sake. him for the death of Curiatius. Horatius, the fury of battle still upon him, drew his sword, that yet reeked with Curiatus blood, and stabbed Horatia to the heart, shouting: "So perish all who mourn their country's foes!" In an instant the triumphal procession was changed to a throng of angry soldiers and townsfolk clamoring for the murderer's blood. Horatius was dragged before the judges. They condemned him to be whipped to death. But in recognition of his battle record it was later decided that a heavy fine and a public humiliation would suffice as punishment. Horatia's body lay unburied where it had fallen until passersby piled a heap of stones above it to mark the last resting place of the woman who had dared to place love before patriotism. Telephone to Scare Burglars. The manager of a telephone exchange is living alone during his wife's summering in the country and he has little on his mind save the constant fear that while he is away from the flat burglars will go through It. To alleviate in a measure his pangs of trepidation he has given the exchange over which he has charge standing orders that the telephone in his fiat shall be rung up once every half hour from nine o'clock in the morning until six at night. He believes that the ringing of that bell might some time startle a burglar at work and drive him away. New York Sun. Ntvtr Despair.

Business Review of The Past Week by Henry Clews

Conditions in the stock market ar such as to induce hesitancy. Money is growing firmer. Congress opens next week. Serious strikes have been inaugurated on Western railroads. The Nicaraguan troubles disturb confidence. Sugar and telephone investigations stimulate hostility to large corporations. Industrial magnates dislike recent interference with mergers and segregation plans. New security issues have depressed many high class stocks: while the coming British elec tion deranges trade and finance in England. All these conditions are adverse to bullish operations. On the other hand, the satisfactory conditions in general business have thus far been sufficient to prevent any sharp or radical decline. General trade continues large in vol- I time, especially in the interior. Bank ' clearings demonstrate this. Railroad j earnings are very satisfactory, and the extraordinary activity in steel as ye shows no signs of abating. Textiles are also in good demand. Secret a ry Wilson's annual report emphasizes anew the phenomenal prosperity of the agricultural classes, showing that lv? crops of the current year are valued on the farm at approximately $s,7ta. nmxjo, or sa,x ,ono more than a year ago. This is an increase of more than lo per cent in value in twelve months .which is considerably greater than the increase of quantity in farm products and goes far towards explaining the present high cost of living, about which complaint is so universal. This propsperity of the farmer, the largest factor in our industrial life, is the bedrock of the present general activity in business. He is probably making larger profits than are his due, and at the expense of the temporarily helpless consumer. But no one begrudges him his good fortune, for he must use it either in getting out of debt, building up his bank deposit or spending more or less In luxuries. the production of which keeps others well employed. In the steel trade present activity reflects the natural industrial devel opment of the nation. This latter involves great constructive activity and a large use of building materials. Rail road construction and improvements are going on at a rapid pace, and th? rebuilding of our cHies consumes im mense quantities of iron and stee' Other metals partly enjoy the activity John R.

Deputy Marshals Take Turn About Guarding Convicted Millionaire During Night Walsh in Collapse.

Chicago, Dec. fi.-John R. Walsh, convicted of wrecking three big banks in Chicago and sentenced to a fiveyear terra in the federal penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Is in a state of collapse and confined to his bed in care of a physician, as a result of the crushing order of the United States Court of Appeals that he be taken into custody. He is guarded every moment of the night and day at his home, 24.'i3 Calumet avenue, by Deputy United States Marshals, who do not once let him cit of their sight, and who sleep in relays. Saturday Mr. Walsh complained of feeling ill, and after arising immedi ately returned to bed without eating breakfast and a physician was sent for. The two deputies. Thomas MIddleton and Edwin Northrop, do not insist on sleeping in the same bed with the financier, but it is necessary that they sleep in the same room. The difficu1ty was adjusted when Mrs. Walsh gave up the alcove of her husband's room, in which she usually slept, to accom modate one of the deputies. Watched Every Movement. Mrs. Walsh, who felt a personal re sentment toward the officers of the law that her husband did not seem to share refused to allow the officers to eat with the family, and the financier tactfully explained the situation. "You get your meals wherever you like outside and I'll pay for them," saii he to the deputies. Walsh retired at 10 p. m.. and was soon sound asleep. Deputy Middleton went to bed in the alcove, while Deputy Northrop sat up reading, but occasionally casting a watchful eye to ward Walsh's bed. At 1 a. m., Northrop awakened Middleton, who took up the watch 'while Northrop slept, till 7 a. m. "Is it raining?" was Walsh's first question when he awoke. He follow FdDF si

allotted to steel. The demand for copper has improved considerably, but production still keeps ahead of consumption, and the world s supplies are exceedingly heavy. The true remedy for the present copper situation rests in a lowering of price such as would close many of the more expensive producins mines, and thus check overproduction

by natural means. Artificial methods of restraining production through combinations do not succeed, and as long as they violate both economic an-l statutory law. should not be encourag ed. Yet they are most persistently promoted by the managers of hig! cost producing companies which are in an unenviable position, and would be seriously hurt by a substantial drop in the price of the raw metal. Bank clearings are very heavy and testify as to the activity in business. The strikes in the West are such as ac company prosperity, but there is a pos sibility of their spreading and injuring business, besides more or less impair ing the net earnings of roads affected. General trade is in sound condition and the commercial outlook, as well ssj me inniisiriai. is generally promising. The chief complaint heard is the growing cost of conducting business: and the outlook is for diminished profit in the coming year unless prices can be forced to a still higher level; a contingency which in many cases will b impossible, for consumers are already rebelling and economizing. Congress will open today. The outlook is confusing. The tariff is out of the way, for the present at least, but the question of regulating monopolies and preserving competition threatens to be one of active discussion during the coming session. A return of confidence in this respect can hardly be expected until the sentiment of congress is more clearly defined. President Taft's message will be looked forward to with special Interest: and. while he must be expected to keep his promises and maintain the Roosevelt policies, it is probable that he will do so with as kindly a hand as the situation will permit. Recent exposures concerning the sugar scandal are exceedingly unfortunate at this time, since they serve to stimulate the public dislike to great corporations. The Nicaraguan troubles, though un settling, are not serious and can have no permanent effect upon this market. Money promises to be firm at least during the balance of the year.

And in addition to that surveillance, which will be most complete, his movements will be watched by secret service men. for the secret service department has been assigned to the task of backing up the marshal's office to provide against any possible mishaps. "Mr. Walsh is in custody," said Marshal human T. Hoy. "He is in charge of this office. I shall put as many guards around him as I think necessary to protect myself. Mr. Walsh will be taken care of. The order of the court is to permit him to go about the city. He will be allowed to do tha He can go to his business and hold all the conferences he wants to with his friends or business associates, but the marshal will be present. "He may go to theaters or to the houses of his friends, or to the houses of his relatives, as he pleases, but the deputy marshal will be present. "If Mr. Walsh wants the deputy marshal to accompany him to any expensive restaurants, or upon automobile rides, Mr. Walsh must pay the deputy's expenses, or the deputy will not permit him to go.
