tramp as he cam* to rest against the
barnyard fence.
"You're just the man I'm looking
for;" exclaimed the hurried farmer,
grabbing a hoe in one hand and a
basket in the other. "I'll give you five

Relief for the Heathen.?"Charity

Crafts, of the international reform bureau
of Washington, "but no truth is
so disregarded as this one. Two beggar

other day. "Fine coat you've got there.
Where did you land it?' said the first
one. 'Old Mrs. Gobsa Golde gave it to
me," said the second beggar wofnan.
'Is that so? I've begged at Mrs. Gobsa
* Go'd's a hundred times and she never
gave me a cent. 'How did you work
her? 'Well, you soe,' said the first
beggar woman, stroking her new coat
complacently, 'I-didn't'tell her I was
begging for myself. I pretended I was
Pegging for the heathen.'"
Their System.?"The scarcity of
teachers has got to be a powerful
serious matter," said a member of
the school board. "Since our last
school-ma'am quit us six weeks ago
we hain't had no school a-tal!. Just

nowhere for love or money."
"Well, I'll b'dogged!" suprisedly

While passing thrpugh Liverpool on

"Halloa! old man. Where are you

"Australia," was Smith's blunt reply.
"Ftight-o!" said his friend. 'I'll

GOVERNOR IS ARRESTED
Len Small of Illinois Submits to
Sheriff and Gives Bond.
Snrincfiold III.. AtlET. 9.?GOV. LCIl
Small of Illinois, after resisting arrest
on indictments charging embezzlement
and conspiracy, for three
weeks on Ae plea of executive immunity,
or "that the king can do no
wrong," as stated by his counsel, today
finally submitted to Sheriff Mester
after the latter besieged the state
capitol with deputies for several hours.
The governor protested his arrest
until the last, charging .persecution
and asserting his innocence, but the
sheriff of Sangamon county was adamant
and insisted on taking the governor
from the executive mansion to the
courthouse,!;!where Abraham Lincoln
used to practice law, before accepting
the bonds. There the governor gave
surety for $50,000 and went his way to
await trial on the charge of defrauding
the people of the state of some $2,000,000,
while state treasurer through
alleged failure to turn over to the state
the proper interest on state funds.
It was a dramatic day in the capitol
of Illinois and the whole city was at
white heat for hours as the c'lmax of
the long contest between governor
and county officers drew nearer after
the governor had refused yesterday to
yield to service of the three warrants
held by the sherifT. The latter had told
him he would serve the papers today
or as soon thereafter as possible either
quietly or with any necessary effort.
Governor in Office.
When the sheriff went to the capitol
to perform his duly as directed by
Judge Smith, of the county court; Governor
Small, attended by several advisers,
was in his office and refused to
come out at the sheriff's request. The
sheriff then placed deputies around the
building to block any undeterred
egress of the governor and sat down
in the lobby to smoke until the chief
officer of the commonwealth shou'd
decide to emerge.
He announced that he had the advantage
of the besieged man because |
he had taken precautions to eat his!
luncheon before going to the capitol,
and laughingly remarked that he had!
little else except the arrest Qf the gov-;
ernor to occupy his time.
The governor finally sent out word a
couple of hours after the luncheon
hftur that the sheriff might come into
his office and serve the warrants, but
the' sheriff declined, saying he was in
no hurry and would prefer to make the
arrest outside to avoid any technical
charge of interrupting executive business.
This tack of the sheriff'was in
pursuance of the attitude adopted from
the time the indictments wet-e returned
on July 20.
Crowds gathered around the state,
house as the afternoon wore on and |
ther$ was a holiday appearance within
the structure as flashlights boomed
and the high rotunda fl'led with smoke.
But the governor kept at work in his
office sending out two lists of appointments
during the evening.
As the shadow of Lincoln's monument
in the capitol yard grew long
under the declining sun, the chief executive
finally sent out word that he
would surrender to the county officer
at the executive mansion at 5 o'clock
if it could be arranged to give bond ut
once.
Truce Finally Arranged.
The capitulation was accepted by
Mester, who withdrew under the truce
with his troop of deputies.
At 5 o'clock the sheriff with his war- !
rants somewhat thumbworn from long
handling drove to the governor's house. |
"Governor, I am here with tlie warrants,"
he said when he met the governor.
The sheriff then read the warrants
and said: "Governor, you are
under arrest."
"Very well, wh?it shall I do?" asked
the governor.
G. B. Gillespie of the governor's
counsel then produced a bond which
tw? *) Unan i\hai\u o n/1 ft ul/oH tho '
IIUU ucril |/l V|/?ll tvi, auu uanvu ?MV I
.slierlff to take the apreties in the mansion,
but the latter declined.
"You must go with me to the courthouse,''
the sheriff declared.
Then the governor entered Mester's
automobile and went to the courthouse
where the bonds were signed by Roy
and Harry Ide, and C. H. Jenkins. The
governor then returned home.
Governor Small was indicted by the
Sangamon county grand jury July 20
on charges of embezzlement of $f>00,000
of state funds and conspiracy to
embezzle $2,000,000. The acts of which |
he was accused took place while he
was state treasurer. Indictments also
were returned against Lieutenant Governor
Sterling and Vernon Curtis, a j
Grant Park, I I., banker, both of whom
submitted to arrest and gave bonds.
Following his indictment Governor
Small came to Chicago, for a confer- i
ence with his advisers including Mayor
William H. Thompson. Later the gov- j
ernor notified Sheriff Mester that he
was willing to be arrested in Cook
county. The sheriff replied that he
would wait to serve his wurarnts until
the governor's return to Springfield. |
Governor Small then began a tour of
inspection OI Wie ?iuie nisnnajii, ui.i ing
which he declared that he was
wil'lng to be arrested but not in Sangamon
county. He finally returned to
Springfield Sunday night.
Morality Counts.?For three days
last week the Enquirer man sat at the
press table in our courthouse and reported
proceedings of the court in the
case of criminal assault now on trial.
Used as he is to hearing deeds of
criminality and of gross sins told of,
the testimony of witnesses in this case
was revolting.
Men went on tin* stand and fair'y
boasted of the commission of disgusting
acts of sin, if not of criminality.
As the writer sat there his mind for
a moment wandered far from that time
and occasion and went back and back,
passing more than forty mil** posts on
I
his life's journey and to one summer!
evening down at the c!d home and in'
his imagination lie heard his mother!
call him to conic to the porch where!
she was sitting. Evangelistic services
were being conducted in a church a
few miles away and mother and son
had attended them that day. When
the son, then but a boy, answered hisj
mother's call to come to her she said,;
"Clegg, sit down, I want to talk to
yoii. 'The preacher said today, as you!
probably remember,1'morality does not!
count.' He must have said that in the,
excitement of the moment and must
have let his zeal get the better of his
| judgment. I do not like to tell you to
| discount what a minister of the gospel
| says, but, Clegg, I can allow no one to
I make such a statement to you and let
it go without telling you that it is not
true. Morality does count, my. boy,
and I want you to be so otean in your
Mfe that you can look every woman in
the eye and I want you to be honest,
tiuthful and upright and when you
grow up to be a man I want you to-be
recognized as one whose integrity cannot
be questioned. Yen, Clegg, morality
counts and it counts for much. I
felt that I could not go to bed to night
j until I told you that."
That was the greatest sermon the
I writer ever heard. Many times since
j then those words, straight from a
I mother's heart, have rung in his ears.
He does ijot remember who the
preacher \yas who made the foolish
statement about morality not counting,
but he does remember and that with
inexpressible gratitude his mother's
sensible words concerning it, and her
words came back down the path of
years as he sat and heard the disgusting
tales of immorality and gross
I vice and they sounded as gracious as
the master-tone of a rich instrument,
inspiring, refreshing and wonderfully
sweet. Morality counts. Young man
and young woman, let the writer pass
on to you his mother's gracious lesson.

BREECHES FOR SKIRTS.
English Women May Discard Skirts
Say Designers.
Will breeches instead of skirts be tomorrow's
fashion for the women of
Eng'and? Dress designers in London
half believe it may, and are beginning
to be haunted by the spectre of the
knickerbocker knut (feminine gender)
'n Piccadilly and Bond street.
At Murren and St. Mortiz. in Switzerland,
where London's smartest set
disports coasting down hill on bobsleds,
nine out of every ten wornerhave
taken to "breeds." The "London
dress designers say that these sportswomen.
once having realized, like the
land girls of war days, how comfortable
breeches are, will insist on wearing
them when they come home again
They thinft that these fair denizens of
Be'gravia and Mayfair at any rate will 1
want to wear knickerbockers for walking
and other outdoor exercise. And
of course, if once one who really is in 1
society sets the example, the middle '
class and suburbia wil. follow suit. '
The offlcia' view of leading London
costumers is:
Breeches have been worn for skating '
for years, but usually they have been 1
covered by a short skirt. The skirt,
however, is now only worn when the '
sportswoman has returned to her hotel,
and not always then. Eng'ishwl)men,
moreover, are now skating (heav- 1
en forgive us for saying this in summer
time, but let it stand) in the
breeches for the first time.
.Bright-colored gaberdine has been
greatly used this season for skiing costurties
and magenta, ?orn dower blue, 1
bright green and yellow figures form an
admirable contrast to the white landscapes.
Pretty Lady Denman, whose husband
is a former governor-general of
Australia, and who is now ut Murren j
with her son 'and laughter, wears
breeches, und so do Lady Chichester,
the two attractive daughters of the
American Viscountess Harcourt, and
ever so many others of London's '
smartest girls and women. The Sketch, J
Tatler and other society journals are
fl'led with photographs of them with j
their?ahem! "nether limbs" thus claa,
and very fetching they look in them.
If the fears of the dress designers
are well founded, "breeches for women"
may presently tecome as much
of a slogan in the Biitlsh Islands as .
"Votes for Women" was a few years
ago.
And speaking of ':he wearing of
breeches instead of skirts I direct at- ^
tention to another Londorfefad which
the new English woman who is not In
the least afraid of showing her legs
seems to be adopting. Long ago the
fashion was introduced in France of
I
rolling down the upp-ir legs or chii-1 |
dren's stockings. It was adopted in
England by cyclists and others, among
them sometimes go'fers who had a (
Scotch precedent. But now it has been ! .
taken up by women, "nice" women.,
really, and if you could peep beneath
the skirts of hundreds you would find
bare knees. ' ! (

TAX BILL LOBBYING
Interests Have Representatives in
Washington.
SOME OF THEM MAY BE INFLUENCED
Hundreds Engaged in Circulating
Propaganda?Representatives Have
Hard Time Keeping Clear of it.
By Frederick J. Haskin.
Wauhimrtnn n c?The members of
nhe ways and m'eans committees of the I
j
louse, struggling with the fdimation,
of a new tux bill, are being subjected j
to pressure from almost every industry!
in the country, designed to infuence
the commiitee to reduce or eliminate
taxes which would bear upon this or
chat business. The most pitiful pleas
are poured Into the ears of the committeemen,
and propaganda work is at*
high-water mark.
When the committee finishes its
work and the bills before the house ^
for amendment and final approval, the;
scope of this arciflcial pressure will be
increased to take in the whole house
membership. Veterans in congress
foresaw all of this and wearily resigned
themselves-to it. They know quite
accurately Just how much of the apparent
sentiment against imposing this
or that tax is manufactured, and discount
it accordingly. Those not members
of the ways and means committee,
are content to let that body work outj
the details of the bill, and cast their j
votes along party lines for or against I
the measure, without delving too deeply
into the intricacies of its many provisions.
But in the i^csent house of representatives
therd are about a hundred
and twenty-five new members, and |
many more thin that whose service
does not extend back to the formation (
of the last revenue act or any of the |
important measures which called Into!,
play all the machinery of Influence to j
exert pressure on congress.
Because this sort of thing is new to |
a big e'ement of the house, it is ex- .
pected that the lower branch of con- <
Kress will be more than usually respon- j
sive. That an element in congress is' j
prone to permit influencing of its ]
judgment by propaganda and. other I,
means was amply demonstrated in (
some of the important legislation
which preceded America's participation
in the war. " '
Just now there are in Washington
the representatives of scores, possibly
hundreds, of industries and interests .
whose sole duty is the effort to prevent
tax legislation which would affect
those industries in what they contend
would be" an adverse manner.
rhese representatives generally open!
'bureaus," headed by men well sup-;
plied with money and loquacity, who
tfe not niggardly in the expenditure of c
sither. ^
Lart Tax Law an Example.
The enactment into law of the|
Kitchen tax bill brought to Washington
a tremendous number of these rep- ]
esentatives. They all had their inlings
before the ways and means committee
and later before the finance
:ommittee of the senate. Had their ?
pleas been heeded, the Kitchen law1
.vould have been a Joke instead of the
means of providing billions of dollars j
innually with which to pay America's 11
, I m
?xpenses incident to the war. With
the Fordney measure in the formfctive
stage, the same -thing is happening
igain.
It is safe to predict that the efforts
if these special representatives wil"
accomplish little, so far as the action
jf the ways and means committee is
concerned. That committee must
frame a measure to ease the tax burlen
as at present imposed, but at the | *
same time raises a great deal of money,; *
which means that a great many people jc
ind industries rtiust have their pocket- s
books lightened somewhat whether 2
they like it or not.
But the task of the persuasive "bureau"
does not end with this com- I
mittee. The members of the house I
generally will become the targets when
the measure is before that body. These
agents will follow the tax bill on its
legislative journey through the senate
finance committee, composed of both
senators and representatives, which '
will iron out the differences bound to i
arise in the views of the two bodies.
Of course if there should be written l
into the measure some item of tax- ]
ition which should prove extremely
Linpopulur, the members of congress
who supported that part of the bill or j t
failed to register a protest against itji
would find themselves in hot water'1'
when next they sought the votes of
:heir constituents. The proposed consumption
taxes might fall into this
2lass. The Democratic members of ^
louse were quite willing to see this c
written Into the low, but the wary t;
Republican leaders fought shy of it,
Jespite a considerable amount of prop- j
xganda put forth in its favor.
Cause of*Political Defeats!
Belief that manufactured propagan-;
la represented the true state of mind
>f their constituents can be set down
is the reason for the retirement to pri- |
rate life of many former congressmen.
Even when the pressure exerted could
be recognized a A purely manufactured
sentiment some former representatives.
nave insisted to their sorrow in be-j
lieving otherwise. They took the stand
that tremendous interest had been
iroused in whatever measure was before
the house and that they must follow
the supposed desires of the voters
back home in recording their votes.
An outstanding example of this was
the McLemore reso'utlon, which sought
to put the congress on record as warning
Americans not to take passage on
Xvmed merchant ships. The Wilson
administration focused attention on
the resolution, demanding a vote.
Immediately practically every member
of the house was flooded with telegrams,
all in exactly the same word- -j
inp, urpinp that the resolution be supported.
Although the names signed to
the telegrams were in many cases!
those of constituents, the more astute
congressmen recognized in the same-,
ness of the telegrams and their unprecedented
number that the wires did j
not indicate true sentiment, but false
and manufactured opinion.
A notable instance of what resulted
may be seen in the fate of the entire
Wisconsin delegation then In the
house. /A*one among its members;
Irvine Lenroot stood firm against the j
resolution,'-and did" his best to show his
colleagues the true state of affairs.!
His stand and his advice were disre- ;
garded, though, and as a result those |
men who stood for this surrender of j
American rights were retired to pri- j
vate life, while Lenroot, at a special j
election, was sent to the senate, being
re-elected for the full" term last autumn.
1 Touching the question of pressure1
and propaganda aimed at congress, its
membership may be divided roughly'
into two large groups. One takes the j
position that it has been sent to Wash- j
ington to represent its voters' views regardless
of personal convictions, and
that it should be quickly and comp'etely
responsive to the trend of opinion
at home, to which personal convictions
should be subordinated. The
other group is made up of those who
take the position that they have been
elected to represent a portion of the
people of the country because those
people have faith in the brains and
judgment of the men they have chosen.
This group Insists that whatever situation
arises, its convictions as to the
proper course to follow should be the
sole guide for action. i
In support of this position, it is,
pointed out that the biennial election
lias for one of its purposes the approval
or disapproval of the past public
acts of the setvants of the people, and
that then the sentiment of the people
of a congressional district or a state
should be registered. This group doesi
not rigid'y decline to pay any heed to!
the voices of its constituents, but;
sticks closely to the principle that no |
senator or representative should in!
iny case surrender his convictions for
the sake of political expendiency or
because majority sentiment at home
appears to be contrary to the course
iictated by conscience and conviction.
