CONE, LORENZEN & WOODMAN Foreign Advetrising Representatives. 225 Fifth Avenue, New York. Advertising Building, Chicago SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, NOVEMBER 22, 1913. NO MILEAGE GRAB. Democratic administration in congrtsrj h;us 'orn? cl-an aaiti in avoiding a "mll(n;v; Krah." In the oll d.'iys f republican adill 1 ki i. li ii 1 i 1 ii ml iiiiu1 iiii.ni n. customary to arrange ad journmnta ktwot-n regular and s;cial sessions, ro that the im-mbiTs of e'ni;n-s vukl Le alIe to k tf the trca.surer's office and draw out money for a round trip ticket home, at the rate of 2 0 onts per mile so iix to include all po.-.-iMe expenses ptich as meals, sleeper, and a tip to the porter although not one cent of the money miht he actually Fp"nt In this way, and the members miht not stir out of Washington. The custom was always indefensible and In ppirit at least was little different from Krand lan-eny. The "constructive adjournment" as told about in this newspaper by (lilson Gardner as vote! once by a republican conpresd where the two sessions ran together without lapse of a minute, and yet the congressmen drew their $200,000 ?n mileage, was only a little more raw than others in the past. Had Woodrow Wilson been a "political president," so anxious to get through certain measures he advocated that he would be willing to make unworthy compromises in order to conciliate opposition, he might have permitted certain congressmen who J wanted an adjournment, to put their Ian through. Hut Wilson and the majority of congress set thc'.r faces steadily against such a ptoceduro and their act will be approved by good Americans of all parties. There is Just this Justification on tho other hand. The lower house of congress has had little to do since it tent the currency '.till up to the senate, yet must remain in session marking time till the senate sends the bill hack. Many members of congress, unprepared for all summer and all fall sessions have hail to make trips home at some expense to themselves to look after their business or to their political fences. Quite a plausible case could he made cut that the members of the lwer house be allowed their mileage, even if the senators had not earned theirs. It was an opportunity to do some political trading between the - two houses and for some sharp deals to bo manipulated. Hut congress as a whole took a high stand" anl the session passes with u clean record. moiu: rriii,isiTY. The tendency of the times, in the government of cities, and not only in the government of cities, but of the state and the nation, i less secre-cy and a wider publicity for all oilicial actions. This therefore is one of the things that the next administration might well take up, among its reform measpures, and, since it is never too late to begin, it is a reform which, forsooth, the present administration might do worse and to inaugurate, and hand it down as a keep-sake. The suggestion is not made in criticism. According to what the citizens party has promised, nnd we do nt question its good intentions to deliver; fouth Hend is about to enter upon a new era of up-to-dated-ness, and the modern, up-to-date city, relegates secrecy and the "star chamber" to the limbo. It is true that there are some phases of oilicial discussion, such as sometimes take place in what South Itend cll "executive sessions" of the council, or of the board of public works, or board of public safety, that ought never to t into the public prints, but this can easily be avoided where confidence extends both ways. Close confidential relations between the press and public otlicials, maintained in the interests of the public, has saved many a city administration from gross public suspicions. and ser cd to keep the public much better informed on what an administration is doing, fre-juently to the administration's great credit. Take Grand Kapids. Mich., for r passing example. In that eity Mayor I'l'.is. following the wati-rwurks scandal that came near emptying the city hall into the state prison , decade ago. laid down the rule that the city hall reporters should be admitted to all meetings of all boards, and even of council committees. The reporters met and di-eused the budget with the board of estimates. If anything happened which, if made public. mUht work to the detriment of the eity. the reporters were askt-d to keep juiet about it and failure to do so in ant the future fxclusii.ri i-f the reporter io!:itin;r the rule. After this manner public - ffidals and newspapers Co-operated for the best intere-ts of the eity. v re always in each oth r's confidence, and while all the papers occasionally criticised, and as frequently commended, there s eined to 1 1.0 s 1 h tiling in Grand. Kapid tfs an administration or opposition newspaper, by d'T.t of political or news lines. 1b an administration bke Mayor-

Klect Keller has ben chosen to carry out a non-partisan citizen administration, why not go the limit, and take tho public into full confidence, non-partisanizing and citizenizing tho press; that dally reflector of passing events which is the public's chief source of information. Tin; L.UCK OF IT. Mi.-s Huntington, who is to marry Vincent Astor, "the richest young man In the world", is called "the luckiest girl in the world". It sterns to be a case of luck. Vincent is lucky in being heir to about J 70,000,000 and the girl is lucky In attracting him to the point of marriage. What's the sense In monkeying with eugenics? Iet's have .a test of pure luck! Vincent never worked, and he sals his intended has "practically spent her life outdoors at tennis, golf or riding". Figuratively speaking, it is grasshopper mated with grasshopper. It is a love match? Sure And they'll be luckier than ever betore in their lives if it doesn't turn out grasshopper love-ephemeral. The love that must always dance in the sunshine, or chirp in the sweet grasses is tomorrow a dried, empty shell. The love worth while never has all the luxuries of life at its call, but it loyally Tears burdens of self-sacrifice and obligation. The love that endures denies itself and grows on mutual struggle, not on complete satiety. The happiest mates are those who have had to build for themselves. "We earned it!" is tho triumphant exclamation of mutual bliss. The man who picks a rose off a hush may enjoy its perfume and beauty for a time but the real happiness lives with the fellow who planted, cultivated, irrigated and fought the bugs and thereby earned the perfect flower. The love that knows not mutual struggle, denial, failure and success, mutual climbing upward, knows no ties that bind heart to heart to withstand Hfe'3 tests, but, in a brief season, is very, very apt to become like the burnt, vacant shell c f the grasshopper that was so careless ami happy in the summer that has passed. AVI IV NOT 11AIN CIIKCKS? Times have changed. When a tribe of "hos-tyle" Indians will decide not to swoop down on the cowering whites with bowie knife and scalping irons because it's too rairty to raise cain comfortably, we must conclude that we have fallen on degenerate days. What would Sitting Hull and Rain-in-the-Face and Geronimo say if they could come back from the Land of the Great Spirits and see their followers give up the battle because they didn't have umbrellas and goloshes? Why the Indians in the moving pictures would have - done better than that. other Indian battlers have been broken up by tho superior force of the white men and their better firearms, but this proposed battle of Beautiful mountain is perhaps the first one in history to be called off on account of rain. That roar coming from the cast like the mob scene in "Julius Caesar" is the celebration by dressmakers, tailors, caterers, and social climbers oer the news that Wilson has called off the New Year's ball. That Is their way of expressing their feelings. Outside of Washington and its "GOO" the incident won't make much stir except that the country at large will nod its approval of its great president's refusing to be diverted from his very important and very arduous duties. Whatever they may say about Hetty Green, no one can charge that wealth has spoiled her. Son Kddie, too, is not wasting much lime or money in the gay social whirl or on Kroadway. Kill Hap7as a baseball magnate is a new manifestation of the versatility of our well known townsman. However if he helps brings a ball club to South Herd we'll vote to let him pitch the first ball next spring. susmui:i. All Kritish coins are legal tender in Canada.

(Continued from Friday.) CIIAITKH XV. I Said It. ami I Will. A rushing mountain stream whiteveiled in the falling, black-brown in the foam-flecked pools tumbled, splashed, brawled down the mountain: the mountain hung over, shadowy; banks of fern held the rampant brook in chains of green. Alixe and Francois, riding slow ly IrT the coolness of the road below, looked up and saw it all. familiar, beautiful, full of old associations. "One misses Pietro," Francois said. "He alwovs wanted to ride past the 'Trou du GeuverneurV A Roman legend had given this name to the deep pool of the brook by the road; it was said that the cruel olu governor had used it, two thousand years back, for drowning refractory peasants. Alixe gazed steadily at the dark murmuring water. "Yes. one misses him. Is life -like that, do you supose. Francois? One grows up with people, and they get to be as much a part of living as the air, or one's hands and then, suddenly, one Is told that they are going away. And lhat ends it. One musx do without air, w ithout, hands. What a world, Francois !" "We are not meant to like It too much, I believe, Alixe," said Francois sunnily. "It is just en passant, this world, when you stop to consider. The real business will come, I suppose, when we are moved on a step farther. Friendships and separations will not seem so" badly arranged then, probably. This is school, this life. I gather. M.y rqother says it is not very Important if one has a good Feat in the schoolroom or a bad; if one sits near one's playmates or is sent to another corner, so long as one is a good child and works heartily at one's lessons. It is only for a day and then we go home, where all that is made right. Not a bad idea of my mother's, is It, Alixe?" "Your mother is a wonderful woman," Alixe answered thoughtfully. "She lives like that. She never let thlng.s trouble her, not even when your father lost everything. Did she, Francois?" "No," said Francois. "She is one of the few people who know what the real things are and live in them. It is hard to do that. I can not. I care so bitterly for what I want. It is" Francois hesitated "it is very hard for me to -give up what I want." He stumbled over the words; his voice shook so that Alixe shifted in the saddle and looked at him inquiringly. "Francois! Is anything wrong? Must you give up something?" Francois laughed then and patted the brown arching neck of Capitaine, successor to Coq. "Everybody must give up things: and renunciation is the measure of strength," he said with twenty-year-old generalization, yet with a light in his face which might have been the smiling of an aged saint. "You were talking about Pietro," he went on rapidly; "about our separation from him, our good old Pietro! I do miss him. Yet that was inevitable from the beginning. That was life. Pietro is Italian; he has his place-over there" and he nodded to where far-off Italy might lie. "He is a man. Pietro, every inch, already. He hns gone to fill his place, as quietly, as unhesitatingly as he will do everything that comes to him." "Everything that comes to him yes." Alixe spoke a-little scornfully. "Kut Francois he does not go very fast to meet the things that come to him." Francois eyes flashed at her. "You have never heen fair to Pietro. Alixe." SECOND YEAR OF MARRIED LIFE

HY MAHKIj HERBERT URNER.

Helen hurried down tho street towards the subway station, her eyes shining and a bright coloring in her cheeks. Dinner with Warren at a fashionable restaurant and the theater afterwards was what tho even held for her. It was not often that they dined out now, and she looked forward to this with all the more pleasure because of its infrequency. She had put Winifred to sleep and left her safe In Delia's care. And now she hurried down to meet Warren, free to enjoy the evening that lay before them. He had said he would meet her at the Thirty-Third st. subway station at 6 o'clock. That would give them time to dine e.t their leisure and still be at the theater at S. It was Just twenty minutes to 6 by the clock in a drug store window. i?he had more than enough time. Kut she always was very promfX in her appointments with Warren. She would always rather wait for him than have him wait for her. He was very apt to grow irritable if he were kept waiting, and" she wanted this evening to be unmarred by any impatience or irritability. She wanted it to be a happy outing. It had been so long since they had had one. Togged Out in Her Best. She had dressed with unusual care and had a pleasant consciousness that she was looking very well. Her brown velvet suit was most becoming. And there was always an air of delicacy of appealing femininity about Helen, which was one of her chief charms. Artd now. when ehe entered the crowded subway car, and a man rose instantly to give her a seat. She thanked him with a gracious smile. Helen was the type of woman who rarely had to stand. It was just five minutes to six when she left the car at the Thirty-Third st. station. She waited happily, walked up and down the platform, adjusted her hat as she passed the mirror in the penny-in-the-slot machine, and read the advertisement along the wall. he smiled at the moustache some misehivvous boy had penciled on the pretty girl advertising a tooth paste. he re-read the claims of health and long life promised to every wearer of a certain advertised article. It was 6 o'clock now. by the clock over the ticket window. :s"he began watching for Warren as the trains drew in on the other side. While of course he would come from down town, he had often told her, whenever she met him. at any subway or elevated station, to stay on the other side and he would cross over to her.

"Not fair?" Alixe interrupted, and laughed. "No. not fair," repeated tho boy. "You do not seem to 3ee what he is a heart of gold, a wall of rock. It is not his way to talk much, but he has great qualities." "What?" asked Alixe. "What!" Francois repeated. "You to ask that! You know as well as I that Pietro is a Bayard without fear and without reproach. He is unchanging as the ocean he is to be believed in his slightest word. You know that it would be a commonplace for Pietro to be killed rather than play, false to the smallest trust. He is a fanatic of reliability." "You make him out a slow worthy person," said Alixe. and drew up the horse's bridle. "You can respect a man with all those sterling qualities, buthe isn't very dashing to be like that. Is he? I like a man to have initiative some gift of leadership." Francois looked at her sternly. "Dashing! Initiative! Do you remember. Alixie, what it is that Pietro has done? Do you realize that Italy Is in the stress of a desperate struggle for liberty? That a forlorn tight against the power of the Austrians is on her hands, and that Pietro went back at eighteen to take his part with the patriots? Do you realize what danger that means? Danger not only of death, but of worse, of years of imprisonment in some dungeon. Noblemen of higher rank than Pietro are living in chains there now. It is our playmate Pietro who is facing this Pietro, who has breathed the free air and ridden with us through this valley for so many" years. He realizes it. He went with his eyes open. His family are marked; he will be a leader against the Austrians; he will be one of the first to he punished if the Austrians conquer and they are very strong. He went back to Italy to a lonely life to a life of Intense effort and activity and danger, as quietly as if he were going back to school. And you, you whom" Francois stopped and went on "you whom he loves better than any one in the world wrong him." By now Alixe was half sobbing. "How horrid you are, Francois! You jump at conclusions. You are not the only person who cares for Pietro. I do not wrong him not in my thoughts. I abused him to you on purpose. I wanted to see what you would say for him. One does that. If one really cares for a person, one has a right. It is not disloyalty; I could abuse my father I could say any horrid thing. I chose, and not a word, not a shadow of a thought, would be disloyal, because I love him so that It would all be nothing compared to that. I know Pietro is brave; I know he has gone into danger is it so very bad, Francois? But I am irritated often with Pietro because you are always the hero. It is always you wtio do the brave thing, and it is easy for even' one to to adore you, Francois. You seem only to smile at .a person and they they car for you. And Pietro is Just quiet and reliable. It isn't fair for you to have everything." There were tears in her eyes now, and a quiver in her voice, and the last word was punctuated by an indignant sob. "Alixe dear" then Francois stopped. "You need not be afraid that I shall have more tHan DIetro." he began uncertainly. "For it Is not going to be so. lie will have what what I would give my life for." Then he hurried on. "I see how it is," he said gently, "and you tire right to care so loyally for Pietro. He is worth It. And you must never care less, Alixe never forget him because he has gone

HFJiEX WANTKI) SO MUCH TO MAKE WAURKX HAPPY. From where she stood she could se through each car as it drew up to the opposite platform. JCvery train brought a crowd of people who rushed through the station and disappeared up the stairs. Kut Warren was not among them. Ten fifteen minutes past six! Helen was growing restless and a little anxious. Twenty-five of seven' Could something have happened? Should she go back home, where she could be reached by telephone? What if he were hurt and they were trying to send for her now? There was no way any message could come up here. The clock now pointed to a quarter of seven. She would wait for one more train. . The man at the ticket window was watching her curiously. She caught a glimpse of her face in the mirror of the slot machine. How pale she was! So Hero You Are. With a little scream she turned to find Warren beside her. He had come down the stair from the street. he clutched his arm. For a moment she could not speak. "Where have you been?" she said. "Oh, I have been so frightened!" She was almost sobbing. "Oh, dear, what kept you so where have you been?" . "Whe.-e have I been?" angrily. "I've been at the Thirty-Third st. elevated station at the elevated since 6 o'clock just where I said I'd be!" The" elevated?" weakly. ,7I said the elevated thi3 morning as plainly as I could." "Oh, Varren I couldn't have made such a mistake." "It seems that you could and did. I was just about to go home when it occurred to me that it would be Just like you to make some fool mistake like this, so I thought I'd come by here and " "Oh, dear, I'm so sorry! I was sure you said the subway. Oh, you know how sorry I am!" "Well. it won't help to be sorry." Impatiently. "You've succeeded in making a fine mess of the' evening. It's 7 now." "You mean we won't have time for dinner?" fearfully. "Not at any decent place. We'll have to go to some quick lunch room that's all there is time for. Come, let's get out of here." $ lie saw the ticket agent watching them with much interest. Helen followed him up the subway steps to the strict. And she had so wanted this tobe a happy evening. an evening free from all irrigation ami discords. And no Oh. why must things so often happen wrong.

away. He will come back." The boy spoke with effort, slowly, but Alixe was too much occupied with her own tumultuous thoughts to nctice. "He will surely come back and belong to you more than ever. He will come back distinguished and covered with honors, perhaps, and then and then Alixe, do you see the chestnut tree at the corner that turns to the chateau? It is a good bit o! soft road we will race to that tree shall we? And then I will tell you something." (To be continued Monday.)
