CHAPTER X— Continued
The woman now called to them that
supper was ready so they (fathered
Around the table and Dorothy ate
some delicious porridge and a dish of
scrambled eggs and a plate of nice
rwhlte bread and enjoyed her meal
The Lion ate some of the porridge but
did not care for It saying It was made
from oats and oats were food for
Siorses not for Hons The Scarecrow
and the Tin Woodman ate nothing at
tall Toto ate a little of everything
and was glad to pet a good supper
again
The woman now gave' Dorothy a bed
to sleep In and Toto lay down beside
her while the Lion guarded the door
of her room jso she might not be dis-
turbed The Scarecrow and the Tin
'Woodman stood up in a corner and
kept quiet all night' although of
course they could not sleep
The next 'morning-' as soon as the
aun was up they started on their way
and soon saw a beautiful green glow
in the -sky just before them-
‘That must be the Emerald City”
aid Dorothy
Ax they walked on the green glow
became brighter and brighter and It
teemed that at last they were nearing
the end of their travels Tet it was
afternoon before they came to the
great wall that surrounded the City
It was high and thick aad of a bright
green color
In front of them and at the end of
the road of yellow brick was a big
gate all studded with emeralds that
Guardian of the Gate
'glittered so in the sun that even the
I painted eyea of the Scarecrow were
'dazzled by their brilliancy
There was a bell beside the gate
end Dorothy pushed the button and
beard a silvery tinkle sound within
Then the big gate swung slowly open
and they all passed through and found
themselves In a high arched room the
walls of which glistened with count-
jless emeralds
Before them stood a little man
i about the tame size as the Munchklns
He ws clothed all In green from his
j bead to his feet and even his sktn
1 was of s greenish tint At his side
was a large green box
When he saw Dorothy and her com-
panions the man asked:
I "What do you wish in the Emerald
Cltyr
i "Wa came here to see the Orest
Ox" said Dorothy
i The man was so surprised at this
r TiT Cut t sat down ts tliri ft
ev r
Tt has been tuny years since any
one asked mo to sea OzH he said
shaking his head in perplexity "He
Is powerful and terrible and if yon
come on an Idle or foolish errand to
bother the wise reflections of the
Great Wizard be might be angry and
destroy you all In aa Instant"
"But It la not a foolish errand nor
an idle ons" replied the Scarecrow
Tt la important And we have been
told that Oz la a good Wizard"
"So hs lx" said the green man "and
ha rules the Emerald City wisely and
well But to those who are not hon-
est or who approach him from curl'
oslty he Is most terrible and few
have ever dared ask to nee hla face I
am the Guardian of the Gatea and
since you demand to nee the Great
Oz I must take yon te bin palace But
first you must put on the apectaclea'
“Why!" asked Dorothy
"Becauie If you did not wear spec-
tacles the brightness and glory of the
Emerald City would blind you Even
those who live In the City must wear
spectacles night and day They are
all locked on for Os no ordered It
The Scarecrow and the Tin Woodman
Are Nothing at All
when the City was first built and 1
have the only key that will unlock
them"
He opened the big box and Dorothy
saw that it waa filled with apectaclea
of every size and shape All of them
had green glasses In them The
Guardian of the Gates found a pair
that would just fit Dorothy and put
them over her eyes There were two
golden bands fastened to them that
passed around the back of her head
where they were locked together by
a little key that was at the end of a
chain the Guardian of the Gatea wore
around his neck When they were on
Dorothy could not take them off had
she wished but of course she did not
want to be blinded by the glare of the
Emerald City so she said nothing
Then the green man fitted spectacles
for the Scarecrow and the Tin Wood-
man and the Lion and even on little
Toto and all were locked fast with
the key
Then the Guardian of the Gates put
on his own glasses and told them he
was ready to show them to the palace
Taking a big golden key from a peg
on the wall he opened another gate
and they all followed him through the
portal into the streets of the Emerald
City
CHAPXI (
The ‘Vokderpj
Even with eyes protected by the
green spectacles Dorothy and her
friends were at first dazzled by the
brilliancy of the wonderful City The
streets were lined with beautiful
houses all built of green marble and
studded everywhere with sparkling
emeralds They walked over's pave-
ment of the tame green marble and
where the blocks were joined together
were rows ef emeralds set closely
and glittering In the brightness of the
sun The window panes were of
green glass even the sky above the
City had a green tint and the rays of
the aun were green
There were many people men wom-
en and children walking about and
these were all drexxed In green
clothes and had greenish sklna They
looked at Dorothy and her strangely
assorted company with wondering
eyes and the children all ran away
and hid behind their mothers when
they saw the Lion but no one spoke
to them Many shops stood in the
street and Dorothy saw that every-
thing In them was green Green
candy and green pop-corn were offered
for sale as well ss green shoes green
hats and green clothes of all sorts At
one place a man was selling green
lemonade and when the children
bought it Dorothy could see that they
paid for it with green pennies
There seemed to be no horses nor
animals of any kind the men carried
things around in little green carts
which they pushed before them
Every one seemed happy and - con-
tented and prosperous
The Guardian of the Gates led them
through the streets until they came to
a big build' rg exactly In the middle of
the City- xLlch was the Palace of Ox
the Great Wizard There was a soldier
before the door dressed in a green
uniform and wearing a long 'green
beard
“Here are strangers" said the
Guardian of the Gates to him "and
they demand to see the Great Os" -
“Step inaids" answered the soldier
"and 1 will carry your message to
him" " ' r: - '
So they passed 1 through the palace
gates and were led into a big room
with a green carpet and lovely green
furniture aet with emeralds The sol-
Cer cade them all wipe tlslr f1
epca a green mat before entering tl'i
room end when they were eeated tt
aid politely:
"Please make youreelvee oom fort-
able while I go te the door of the
throne room end tell Ox you are
here"
They had to watt a loog time before
the soldier returned When at last
he came back Dorothy asked:
"Have you aeon Oar
"Oh no" returned the soldier: T
have never eeen him But I spoke ts
him as ke eat behind hla-screen aad
gave him your meeaage He eeys be
will gnat yon an audience if you eo
deelre but each one of you muet en-
ter his presence alone end be will
admit but oae each day ' Therefore
ee you muet remain in the palace for
eeverel days 1 will have you ahown
to rooms where you may rest la com-
fort after your Journey"
‘Thank you" replied the girl "that
la very kind of Oz”
The soldier now blew upon a green
whistle end at once a young girl
dressed In a pretty green silk gown
entered the room She had lovely
green hair and green eyes and she
bowed low before Dorothy as she said:
"Follow me end I will show you
your room"
8o Dorothy eald good-by to ell her
frienda except Toto and taking the
dog In her arms followed the green
girl through seven passages end up
three flights of etelrs until they came
to a room at the front of the palace
It was the sweetest little room In the
world with a eoft comfortable bed
that had sheets of green silk and a
yreen velvet counterpane There was
a tiny fountain In the middle of the
room that nhot a spray of green per-
fume Into the air to fall back Into a
beautifully carved green marble basin
Beautiful green flowers stood in the
windows and there was a shelf with a
row of little green hooka When Doro-
thy had time to open these books she
found them full of queer green pic-
tures that made her laugh they were
so funny
In a wardrobe were many green'
dresses made of silk and aatln and
The Soldier
velvet and all of them fitted Dorothy
exactly
"Make yourself perfectly at home"
said the green girl "and if you wish
for anything ring the bell Oz will
end for you to-morrow morning”

MATERIALS OF STORK’S HOME

Town Found to Contain All
Sorts of Plunder
The following details concerning the
structure and contents of a stork’s
nest Investigated on the summit of
the Cathedral of Colmar in Upper Al-

The city architect baa just delivered
a public lecture there on "Storks and
Their W’ays" He described a stork’s
nest which was about thirty years old
it measured six feet acroes and was
five feet In height It weighed six-
teen hundredweight or over three-
quarters of a ton and It was such a
solid mass that it bed to be broken up
by using e pickax The nest was

VOTER AWAKK TO FALLACY OP
HIGH TARIFF ARGUMENT
RssulU Have Proved That Wages
Mere Often Ce Oewn Then Up Un-
der Excessive Protective Rates
—Cost ef Living Increased
There wee a time when American
wage earners were asked to believe
that employers are forced by an
economic lew to divide equitably with
their employes the special profits re-
sulting from high tariff
In thle way the Republican party
alwaya claimed to bare e mortgage
on a large share of the labor vote
Workmen were supposed to support
without question the party that main
talned high wages even at the gener
el expense of Americas consumers
Even this wages argument la out
worn and discredited wherever the
tariff le Intelligently dlecueaed The
labor vote la manufacturing centers
la no longer deliverable by high tariff
politicians Wage earners have die-
covered that more often wages go
down under e robber tariff then up
And the reason le simple The high
tariff landlords merely flood the coun-
try with European pauper labor when
the wage ecele goes too high to suit
them American workmen ere given
the alternative of accepting European
standards of living or subjecting their
families to Idleness end starvation
Worse than this the price of life’s
necessities to the American workman
and hie family continues to mount un-
der high tariff He Is caught between
the upper end nether millstones This
explains the uncertain character of the
labor vote as compared with former
party alignments
And It la as certain as day that
when real friends of the people are
put In nomination for the next con
gross the nation's breadwinners will
atone for past errors by scoffing at the
old Republican campaign slogans
' "As Firmly Pledged
From a review of the results of the
first half of the campaign tour of the
United States on which President Taft
Is now engaged this Illuminating para-
graph la taken:
"The president has acknowledged
that he accepted a tariff bill that fell
short In some of Its details of the
pledges of the party He did this as
he has said for the sake of party soli-
darity He did It to save the rest of
his program of legislation to which
In his opinion he and the Republican
party are as firmly pledged as they
were to the downward revision of the
tariff” " ‘
The Innocent bystander will recall
the perfervid declarations made by
numerous members of Mr Taft's party
to the effect that the Republican party
waa pledged to "downward revision"
of the tariff He will aearch the pres-
ent tariff law In vain for any evidence
that the customs schedules have been
generally lowered And then he will
wonder what the outcome of future
recommendations of the president will
be if be In days to come accepts on
other subjects statutes as Uttle to his
liking and as foreign to his pledges as
Is the Airlff bill he approved "for the
sake of party solidarity"
"Patriotic Considerations"
In his message to congress at Ita
next session Mr Taft will urge the
enactment of a ship subsidy law He
is going to do this because his obser-
vations have convinced him that the
country is ready to try such a law
We fear that he has mistaken the
noise of the shipbuilders' lobby at
Washington for the sentiment of the
country
At the last session of congress the
Hon Gustav Kustermann of Wiscon-
sin in answer to the eloquent appeals
to the pride and patriotism of the
American people made by the ship
subsidy grabbers maintained that
“the only satisfaction we the Ameri-
can people will get will be the glory
of paying a few million dollars a year
to some special interests sums that
these interests cannot legitimately
and bonestly earn"
Just exactly what share of this steal-
ing would come to the south It Is dif-
ficult to estimate at this time but
we should think from certain develop-
ments during the late debates on the
tariff question ftie attitude of at least
some of our members would be Influ-
enced by such a patriotic considera-
tion — Charleston News and Courier
Home Consumer Fleeced
The money collected by benevolent
persons In the United States to be ex-
pended In foreign countries for mis-
sionary purposes runs yearly Into mil-
lions of dollars but It la mere pit-
tance In comparison with the discount
made to foreigners who buy our ’’pro-
tected” wares We sell them tools
from 20 to 100 per cent less then the
prices exacted from home purchasers
Haws are sold for export at 40 per
cent reduction from domestic rates
We “put the screw” to home buyers
of screws by asking them 100 per
cent more then the export price And
so It goes through the whole range of
protected manufactures Of course
the American consumer should in fair-
ness pay no more for What be buys
thaa le demanded of outside consum-
ers but he cannot help himself He
staggers along ee best be can under
the weight of tariff exactions framed
for the benefit of the trusts — Phila-

The fight which President Taft
started when he hit the western tariff
Insurgents with the "big stick” of the
chief executive gives Uttle promise of
ending until all the tariff reformers
era la oae party and all the reaction-
aries are In the other
One thing made certain by ' Mr
Taft'a Winona speech la that the In-
terests which control the Republican
party fwIU from now on listen no
more peUently to revision of the tariff
la the Interest of the consumer then
southern leaders la the slavery con-
test listened to the talk of abolition
that emanated from Boston In vie-
tory or defeat these Interests will In-
sist that the Republican party remain
committed Immovably to a policy of
tariff as nearly prohbttlve as It can
be made
It la altogether probable that In
the fight which the president bee pro
cl pits ted the Western Republicans
wlU stand by the senator and repre-
sentatives who did their bidding In the
struggle for e better tariff revision
then they get in the Payne act But
those of them who held their places
In congress will be as powerless for
reform as they were In the special ses-
sion High protection being still the
declared policy of the Republican
party they can never get the co-operation
of a sufficient number of Repub-
lican congressmen to pass a bill lor
tariff revision downward
Forcing ths Tariff Issue
President Taft's extravagant eulogy
ot the Payne tariff and bla declara-
tion that "party solidarity” muat be
preserved at whatever sacrifice de-
stroys the last hope that this country
will ever get relief from the robbery
of monopoly tariff taxaUon through
the Republican party
As long as party solidarity la para-
mount to the fulfillment of party
pledges the extreme protectionists will
have their way In every Republican
congress and every Republican presi-
dent will be forced 1o bow bia neck
to their yoke Strong aa are the presi-
dent's Inclinations toward a reason-
able measure of tariff protection
strong as have been hla expressions
favoring a margin of protection that
would only suffice to cover the differ-
ence in cost of production at home
and abroad be has - been forced to
surrender unconditionally to the radi-
cals of the Aldrlch-Cannon faction of
hla party Any future Republican
president who may favor moderation
In tariff taxation will je subjected to
the same humiliation
Fut the Consumers First
President Taft admits la express
terms that certain portions of his
party's pledge are unredeemed Lower
wool duties for Instance In the next
breath be says that fee reason for
this failure waa because the "solidar-
ity" of his party vould have been
recked by the exercise of bla veto
lower
Republicanism first nnd the Inter-
ests of American consumers second
place! -
Can Mr Taft or anyone else com-
rlnin If the west proceeds to roll up
a congressional majority that will
stand for Americanism first and the
Interests of the Republican party
last?
Is there not immediate Justification
or a congress that will war on special
privilege in the form of unequal tariff
schedules regardless of the immedi-
ate effect on the fortunes of any po-
I 'I leal party?

How Workers Were Duped
When the Payne-Aldrich-Taft bill
was pending the hosiery mill workers
of eastern Pennsylvania petitioned the
congress to Increase the tariff on hos-
iery as specified by tbe manufacturers
They had been promised a restoration
of recently reduced wages If the de-
aired revision were granted and there
was gloomy prediction of low wages
in case of refusal Now they are get
ting their reward Instead of receiv-
ing more wages on tbe day the tariff
bill waa signed according to prom-
ise they have been notified that wages
will not be restored until March 1
1910 In addition the number of
hours of labor has been Increased
from 65 to 60 per week The pity of
It Is that tbe workers are duped so
easily— HarriBburg (Pa) Independ-
ent Country's Real Rulers
The tariff bill bee passed and the
legislators have returned to their

fess we would have a higher opinion
