"A our object be our country, our
whole country, and no tiling but our
country." Daniel Webster.
Thu United States owes no 1cm of a
debt to the men who oHUblinhed a
government out of the chaos that In
evitably succeeded
tho revolution than
to those heroes who
fought the battles
of liberty on the
Held of war. Had
It not been for the
untiring energy of
the nation builders
the work of the
r e to In tlonlsU
would have been
for naught.
No ouo saw more
clearly, or urged
Ri-rus KI50. tnoro zealously, the
want of a consolidated government
thnn did Ituftts King. He was one of
the most ardent of the Federalist, de
voting himself to upholding every act
of Washington. Ho collaborated with
Hamilton In several articles thnt ap-jK-ared
over the signature "Camlllus,"
King's unimpeachable honesty and
undoubted loyalty led to his nppoint
itietit to the post of minister to Eng
land. Ills mission bad to do chiefly
with the question of the right of
search. Through the unpleasantness
that finally culminated In the war of
ISt'.! King acted with discretion nnd
the mont earnest patrlotlKtu.
Although not at the outset an advo
cate of that war, nevertheless when It
was once declared he gave It his most
decided support. One of the Incidents
which marked hts attitude was his ap
pearance in New York nt. tho time
when a financial panic was threatened
and by his advice and example restor
ing confidence In the government.

BIO QUESTION TO 80LVE.
J. Hill Bays that United fltiitca Is Fac

"I don't believe In viewing condi
tions through the colored glasses of
either optimism or pessimism," said
Jamca J. IIIH, of the Great Northern
Hallway, to a representative of "Suc
cess Magazine." "I bellevo In exam
ining them without prejudice, in order
to form conclusions Hint approximate
tho truth. For Instance, I don't try to
palliate the fact that In this country
we have som? big and threatening
problems to solv.
"One of them is the labor Question.
The present standard of wages Is arti
ficial. It must be reduced if this coun
try Is to compete with others In tho
markets of the world. Our foreign
trade In manufactured products, In
stead of increasing with the Increased
production. Is falling off.
"Consider the single but important
Item of steel. A very few years ago
wo were told that our steel was com
manding the world's markets. Nobody
dares to tell us thnt now. Even na
tives of our own country. In the Philip
pines, havo recently been sending big
orders for steel to Germany. Why?
Simply because they can get it cheaper
there.
"As It Is in steel, so It Is In many
other products. Germany is making
grant strides ahead of us. She is, in
fact, leading the world,' nnd promises
to increase her lead. Her mechanics
work cheaply, nnd spend sixty -six
hours a week In tholr factoiles, where
as ojtrs spend but forty-four. More
over, they aro better workmen.
"We cannot liopo to compete with
her hi foreign trade until wo reduce
the cost of our manufactured products
ami Improve their quality. Even Eng
land, suffering from Industrial paraly
sis because of the power of the trades
unions and other Influences. Is moving
faster than we are. The simple truth
Is that wc are being badly beaten In
tho race for the markets of the world."

"A trifle over two miles," he replied.
"As far as that? You must find It
rather lonesome bore."
"No. I can't say us I do."
"Perhaps you aro not one of the

"No. I'm not. Hut, you see, I mort

"Yes."
