Boston wool interests seek through the Interstate Com
merce Commission, preferential rates on wool shipments
from northwest points via the Panama canal, that would
effectually destroy the growing wool market of Portland,
Oregon, and cripple wool manufacturing on the coast, so that
New England may remain supreme in the woolen industry.
The proposal is the principal of the protective tariff,
applied however to the west, instead of a foreign land. The
heavy investments in plant and huge payrolls in New
England are put in jeopardy by the growth of the industry
in the Northwest and hence the effort to place a handicap
upon the latter.
Railroad rates create and ruin industries and commun
ities. It is no new thing to manipulate them so as to build up
terminal cities at the expense of interior points. Portland
herself, through her chamber of commerce, has for many
years contended for preferential rates, and usually secured
them, againstt upstate cities, with the result that Portland
has developed at the expense of the state by following the
same policy Boston is seeking to enforce against Portland.
It was, however, to prevent rate and traffic discrimina
tions and special favors that the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was created, to protect the general public as well as
Insure the railroads a square deal. It is not its province to
halt industrial development or curtail competition to benefit
established interests.
SAVING BY STAT I T I
The school board of McPherson, Kansas, has prohibited
playing marbles on school grounds because it thinks the
pime instills the desire to gamble. Thus are youths like the
skiers, reformed by the passage of sumptuary laws removing
temptation. It's the modern way of the uplifter, to make the
law and the school do the work of the parent.
Little Tommy plays hookey so a law is passed forbid
ding it and hiring a truant officer at public expense to make
him go to school, instead of the parents looking after him
themselves. If he has a toothache, then there must be
dentists in school paid by taxpayers. If he has a headache,
then there must be a public health nurse to examine him
also at public cost. If he is hungry, the schools should
supply hot lunches, to save the parents the trouble of pre
paring them. If he runs away nights, pass a curfew law,
abolish the places where he goes and have police bring him
home.
Thus the merry work of saving the youth of the land by
statute enactment proceeds despite which youth jam our
jails and prisons and most of the crimes of violence that fill
our newspapers are their handiwork. After all, juvenile
delinquency is merely another phrase for parental neglect'
and neither law, police, teacher nor matron can take the
place of the parent.

Wen, mothers and maids
A Romantic Serial of Modern Life
By ID AH McGLONE GIBSON
ONE OF THOSK MEN
When her mother returned Lille
may thought to herself bitterly:
"Harold Kennedy finds no trouble
in bringing" color to mother's
cheek, at least."
"Nonnte, do you not think that
Harold Kennedy's kissing: me to
night was the act of a bounder?"
aaked Liilemay Vail of her friend
and companion who was putting
away the girl's jewel In the travel
ing bag ready for the trip the next
day.
'I don't believe that Mr. Ken
nedy would have kissed you if your
mother hsl not virtually aked him
to," wa the surprising com me tit
from Alias Norton.
A wave or color dyed Liilemay
lice. Her breath came sharp and
chokingly. Then it was mother
who was at fault," she said.
"If there wai any fault," was
Nonnio's response to the bitter
crlticUm that wa contained In
the daughter's lntinatiou. "I do
not see any great fault in it. You
mutt remember that your mother
has known Harold Kennedy for
over a year. He bu probably
been at her house dully. She wants
him to like you as she does. Truly,
Lille, you did look very provoca
tive a you lay there on that chaiae
longue."
"I've no desire to pose as a mov
ing picture vamp," said the girl
hotly.
"You were far from a moving
picture vamp, my child. You had
the expression of a tired child ask
ing for caressing arms in which
to rest."
'Nonnle, I never thought that
you were sentimental. Ho Har
old Kennedy bewitched you too?"
Perhaps. I am sure that all
women like Harold Kennedy, even
a creature of sentiment, even an
old maid like me, for Harold Ken
nedy is ono of those men who can
not help flirting with a woman,
be ihe hit grandmother, his wife,
his sister, his sweetheart or name
less one.
"I think, my dear, that you do
not give him any credit fur Ins
kin due of heart or his loyally. '
"Loyalty, loyalty," jmiffed Lille
"to whom is he loar.'"
"I think he Is quite loyal to
everyone he likes and to evety
thing in which lie bilieves. If I
were asked i would nay that loy
alty was a creed by which Har
old Kennedy shaped his lite."
"Then you think he Is. loyal to
my mother?"
"Surely, my dear, you must see
that. I am sure, however, that
outside of hifl loyalty to II rs. Vail
which I think ,how in every ac
tion, he admires and repecu her
greatly."
"Perhaps, but mother doesn't
want admlratlun and respect. She
wants love, and that L'ncle Ovid
gives her."
"Perhaps again," said Miss Nor
ton rather ambiguously, "but have
you noticed that Ovid March
niont gives her love without pas
sion and Harold Kennedy gives
her passionate admiration, held In
leah by respect?"
Liilemay looked curiously at
Nonnie, but the older woman held
her ground. She knew the young
er one was arrogant In her beliefs
and self-centered in all her ac
tions, having been made so by her
great tragedy.
She was melted, however, when,
as rhe laxt jewel was placed In the
casket and securely locked in the
specially made traveling bag that
would be N'onnie's one rcsponsi-i

billty on the tri,
to her and aaid pathetically f "o
you think that Robert la very un
happy tongiht? I wish I knew that
he was having a HUls comfort from
somewhere. I would cable him.
Nonnie, but you can see I must
not. Jt would look us though, now
Gcruldine was dead, I was calling
myself to his attention, that I was
asking him to come to me.
".Nonnie, I am a very unhappy
girl"
"N'on&eni," suld Alius Nor to',
with a hardness she did not feeL
"V ou have iwlhing to make yoe
unhappy. You should be the hap
piest Kit! in all the world. A niott
er who adurea you, wealth beyond
a miser's dream, beauty aud brains
What more cm any sir! want?"
yes, I know, di-.ir, I am a scl
finh creature, but having known
love I want it usain. 1 want that
kind of love that walked beside
mo In the Tuillt-riei (Jankns and
who ran from me hiding his face
the next day.
"Will he ever come bark to mo,
Nonnie? Will Oeraldine stand be
tween Kobert and me in death as
she did in life? Ik you think that
Hobert will return to me ngfiin?'
"Of course he will, child. Yon
have only to wait patiently ani
Robert will return wUh love in hU
train."
"Do you think I will want him
them, Nonnie? You see I shall al
ways be afraid. I can never apatn
allow myself to be hurt .is Rob
ert hurt me. I am afraid I shall
never again believe any man wht
talks to me of love."
From the vantage point of net
advancing years, Antoinette Nor
ton knew that it was only youtt
talking, youth that always though)
everything was finished as eact
leaf of the book of life was turn
ed. But she said nothing as sh
kissed her charge and went InU
the adjoining room.
She heard Liilemay turning an
twisting for a long time, but at
last she knew from the silence thai
the girl hr.d forgotten all hei
trouble in leep.
