FREEDOM I There are . amwations to every crVo freedom. For one who isonr'l to frojsuxo this the work!

The Dollar or the Man

We offer s word of advice to a'J the well-meaning people who have been confused regarding the exact meaning of "stand-patter" and "progressive," who have been left uncertain about whether "Insurgency Is but another name for patriotism and Independence or what their conservative newspapers and the interests that boss those newspapers would have them believe radical, confiscatory, demagogic lunacy. Our counsel to all such puzzled citizens Is for them to study a little part of the testimony taken in Washington, Saturday, in the case of the manufacturers of chemically preserved foodstuffs against the state of Indiana. Indiana is one of the states which, unlike Pennsylvania unfortunately, refused to permit the health of Its citizens to be Imperiled by the sale of foodstuffs loaded with benzoate of soda and other poisonous preservatives of unfit or decayed raw materials. The prolonged campaign of the dealers In embalmed foods to break down the pure-food standard, although abetted by the department of agriculture and sanctioned by the president, did not inculcate In Indiana respect for the rulings of the discredited Remsen board. In the suits filed to nullify the law forbidding the sale of "doped" foods the expert testimony desired was that of Chief Wiley, of the national bureau of chemistry. This v. as the result of the effort to uphold the law and protect the lives and tealth of the people as set forth by the attorney general of Indiana before a Washington court: The state of Indiana, which is seeking evidence In its defense against the suit brought by food manufacturers because Indiana prohibits the sale of foods containing benzoate of soda as s preservative, has been given a "raw deal" by the department of agriculture. The officers of the state or Indiana hare been hampered In every conceivable way in their efforts to obtain this evidence. When I applied to the department 'of agriculture to send Doctor Wiley and his assistants to Indiana to testify In the case which has been brought against the state by the manufacturers, the request was refused. Yet the department permitted and re- f quested the members of the Remsen board and their assistants to testify In the cast against Indiana. But the Indlanians were persistent. Thwarted in every way by the heads of departments of the present administration in their efforts to uphold the laws of their state, they moved to Washington and obtained a court order enabling them to place Doctor Wiley on the stand. It was the old story, even after Doctor Wiley took the stand. He could do no more than reiterate the truths and warnings of science. We should not have considered the case one requiring especial comment, had .not his cross-examination brought forth an unconscious, but none the less striking and illuminating, disclosure of the mental attitude of Big Business toward the American people. Attorney Baldwin, representing the food manufacturers, crossquestioned Doctor .Wiley as to his experiments. Commenting on the absence of records of the presence of nitrogenous matter in some of the foods, Mr. Baldwin added: "These tests were Immensely important to the business world and involved thousands of dollars In property and products." Eyeing the attorney Doctor Wiley replied with emphasis: "I don't give a hang for the business world. What I care for Is the health of the people." "You consider that more Important than the Interests of those who have hundreds of thousands of dollars tied up in property and products?" inquired Attorney Baldwin. "I most certainly do," repeated Doctor Wiley. "Where there are hundreds of thousands of dollars Involved, there are millions , of lives hanging In the balance." This tells the whole story. That one sincere, astonished query embodies the essence of the issue that constitutes America's irrepressible conflict: "Then you consider the health of the people more Important than the interests of those who have hundreds of thousands of dollars tied up in property and products?" Philadelphia North American.

. Little drops of Water Little chunks of wet Them's what we're prayln fer , But alnt got yet. We have never advocated lynching as a method to right wrongs still. If that Weather Man don't get busy very soon we will be inclined to uncork some mental suggestions wave thoughts on the dear public.

We take the liberty of suggesting the following excuse for Saturday: "The children are so anxious to see the circus and I do not approve of them going out to the grounds Without some' older person to look after them." This has been used with success for years.

With that $21,000 that has dribbled out of the city treasury the 'city would now have a large enough fund to do some street repair work this year and install an up-to-date bookkeeping system.

The Palmist's Prophecy By JEAN DUPLESSIS

" Is everything decreed in advance," she asked and the palmist said : it was. "But If that Is so, are we then responsible for our evil deeds?" "That is a very difficult question," he said, "but to me it appears that we are all puppets In the hands of some superior being, perhaps the spirits." he added dreamlngly. "Then if we do anything wrong, we really cannot help It," she said, and looked anxiously into the palmist's deep dark eyes. "It really looks that way, but perhaps there is some explanation. I cannot believe we have come into the world to do wrong. Perhaps the signs of a future crime would not be found if yes, it must be so if the heart were pure, its purity would show." "How can you believe in your kcience and say this? The lines that foretell coming events, prove that these things must happen, no matter what we do. Either you do not believe in palmistry or you are a fatalist" "I cannot help believing in palmistry, fof time and again I have seen the lines of the hand tell the truth. The most lncrediable things have been predicted and happened. Sometimes the science fills me with horror and then I wish I had never tried to look into the future. Believe me it is better not to know what is to happen to us." "I cannot agree with you," she said with a cold, unpleasant laugh. Forewarned is fore-armed. I am glad I came to you, though I am afraid you have not told me everything you read in my hand." "Let me look at it once more," he said and she held out her little white hand. "Are you quite sure my husband will die this year?" "Yes, quite sure," he said slowly, "at the very end of the year, but If you nurse him very carefully the line may disappear and he will live. I have seen dangers averted and lines disappear." "Even in case of death?" "Yes, but not when death lias seemed so near. No, this time it will happen and I wish you had not come to me," he said and dropped her hand with an expression of horror. "You will not tell me what you read in my hand?" "No," he said curtly and turned away. "What is your charge," she asked putting on her gloves. "Nothing I will take nothing from you," he replied and instead of getting angry that she was not allowed to pay, she Just smiled and left. . Madame Dunbois had married the man she loved and ten rears ago her pretty little face had seemed Irresistible to- her husband and he had been jealous whenever another man as much as looked at her. During the early part of her marriage Marguerite Dubois had thought no man half so good as her husband. He was .her ideal, almost her God, and her passionate nature loved him only as a woman can love. At that time he was her constant companion, ber chivalrous friend and everyone thought their marriage an ideal one. But after a while his love cooled, but she excused his coolness and business cares. He no longer confided in her, because, he said, he would not trouble her with his worries. At times be seemed to have forgotten that he had a wife. In spite of all, she continued to adore him and always praised him to others. Married life had disap

pointed her, but when she thought of

many other marriages she knew of, she felt she had much to be thankful for, and she was always bright and lively whenever her husband was around. The years passed and his love slowly died. First his kisses grew less 'tender, then scarcer; and at last he seldom kissed her, but she never gave up hope of winning him back and was always patient and gentle. He knew he had a good wife, but his knowledge only seemed to' Irritate him, and he grew tyrannical and cruel. Then one day, she was told, he was unfaithful to her, but refused to believe it and broke with her friend who told her, while she grew even more tender in her ways with him, because he had been clandered. But. some weeks later, she told him what she had heard and that was the reason she had broken with her best friend.

I truat you so." she said and threw

her arms around his neck and kissed him.

"I wish you would give up that eten-

nal kissing," he growled. ."I am sick

and tired of it"

She felt aa if he had slapped her

face, and for the first time she got angry.

"You act as if it were true," she

said.

"Perhaps it is. You must not im

agine you are the only woman in the

world, and I do pretend being better than other married men, so the sooner you realize it the better." - "Do you mean to say, it Is true," she asked excitedly? "That is Just what I do mean, and what is more, it is none of your business as long as I give you food and clothes. I don't want to hear another word about it" She said nothing, but from that moment she changed. She seemed to be happier and brighter, but hatred against her husband grew in her heart Then she went to the palmist and she felt happy when she heard her husband was not to see the next year. He had been in poor health for some time for of late he had dissipated considerably and had begun to drink heavily. When fall came she was watching for a sign of the approaching end, and he did grow worse for several weeks, but when December came with crisp cold air, he picked up and seemed better than he had been for a long time. ' The month dragged along' and on the last day of the year her husband went to business apparently in the best of health and she. sat alone In the

houae, alone with ' her miserable thoughts She felt it would be impossible for her to live another year with him. Good men died, but her tyrant was allowed to live to torture her. It was not Just; he ought to die, she told herself a hundred times. At nine in the evening he returned intoxicated and his lungs worked so that it seemed almost impossible for him to breathe. She helped him to bed and when he ordered her to give him more whiskey she left him have it without a word. Then she put a mustard plaster on his chest and sat at his side until he fell asleep. . The old year had only fifteen minutes more to live and she stood at his bed with a face full of dispair. The palmist had said her husband waa to die before the year waa gone and now

it seemea impossible that this waa going to happen. Unless and she shuddered and grew cold at the idea perhaps he had meant she was to be the tool, and then she must be quick. It is fate, she mumbled. She looked at the clock. It was almost twelve. Her face grew hard and she tightened her lips. She raised a corner of the plaster near his heart went over to her workbasket and took a long needle and with her thimble she drove It Into his heart He set up in bed, gave a short cry of pain and a fer minutes afterward 'she wiped off a single drop of blood and pressed down the plaster. The next day the palmist alone guessed the secret of this tragedy. . . .
