HENRY S. JACKSON
SURE TO GET JOB
S' WASHINGTON. May 24-It may ba
> stated on the highest authority that Hen
ry H. Jackson, of Atlanta, te slated for a
good official position under the Taft ad-
[ mini* t ration. Indeed, Mr. Jackson can
have almost anything he wants, either in
i. Georgia or in Washington.
It U believed here that he will elect to
come to Washington, where he has a wide
circle of friends and where he could en
joy exceptional advantages for the edu
* cation of bis children. The information
i. relative to the honoring of Mr. Jackson
i eomes from an unimpeachable source,
though, of course, the statement as to Mr.
r Jackson's personal preference is a sur
■ ’ mise.
President Taft and the late Judge How
| eU E- Jackson, of Tennessee, father of
Henry Jackson, of Atlanta, were warm
personal friends. They served on the
| united circuit court bench at the same
time, and Mr. Taft s fondness for Judge
• Jackson has been Inherited by the son.
STRONG PERSONAL FRIENDSHIP.
It was the understanding of President
Taft until very recently that Mr. Jackson
‘ did not want an office under the adminis-
5 traiion. and would not accept any ap
pointment. The president, it is stated,
had about determined to appoint Mr.
Jackson to be internal revenue collector
hl Atlanta, when he learned that he was
in no sense an applicant and would prob
t ably decline the office.
Since that time, it appeals the presi
dent has learned that Mr. Jackson might
* accept an office, and he has definitely de
b tarmined to give him one. If he declines
the Atlanta collet tor ship, which it Is be
lieved ne wri!. then the president will
find a good berth for him in Washing
ton. as one of the assistant secretaries
I In one of the departments, probably first,
H aecond. third or fourth assistant postmas
; ter general under Mr. Hitchcock, with
* whom Jackson is very frlendlv.
From the same source eomes the Infor
mation that the president has definitely
!|p" decid- d to displace both Rucker and De
weaux. the colored office holders in Geor
gia Rucker* place at Atlanta will be
I given to a white ran, whether ft is de
, dined by Mr. Jackson or not. and De
. veaux is certain to be ousted.
•« In the matter of honoring and reward
ing Mr. Jackson, the president proposed
‘ to gratify a personal desire, but as re
-9 garde the removal of Rucker and De
*‘.waux. the president preposes to make
good on tlie promise he made In his At
. la nt a speech, and incidentally strengthen
the Republican party In the south.
It is tnterestirg. in this connection, to
observe that within the past week, ln-
I deed, since his return from North Caro
lina. President Taft has stated that he
propose-! to overcome for the Republican
party whatever loss it may experience in
t the middle northwest by gains in Geor
gia. North Carolina and Tennessee. In
. a word, the pr-'si.ient believes, and has
I stated taht the Republican party is on it*
last legs in lowa. Nebraska, the Dako
tas. Minnesota ard Wisconsin, as indi
cated by the insurgent movement in
a congress. The loss of strength in this
K’s. quarter be hopes to overcome by gains
in /Dixie as outlined.

When the guardian of the ground ap

CHAPTER V.
The Rat-Faced Frenchman Has Words
With Monsieur at the St. Regulus.
It was nearly noon before a stray
shaft of sunshnie, falling across M. le
Due’s pallid face as he lay sleeping sod
denly in his luxurious chamber at the
St. Regulus after a most wearisome
night journey from Chicago, woke him
to blinking consciousness of his uncared
t for condition.
He gaped and yawned, caught sight of
1 the clock, and sat up with an exclama
[ tion of anger. There was no sign of
I nls morning chocolate —his dusty clothes
i were lying untended where he had left
I them. Where the devil was Jules! Os
what avail was a valet who did not at
! tend to his duties! He reached for the
■ bell-push, and pusued it hard.
A red-headed bell boy appeared with
a pitcher of' ice water.
“Send my servant,” said monsieur, and
the boy, having bowed with great out
ward deference, left him to brood over
his many wrongs.
It was Jules’ advice which had sent
him off on a fool s errand to Chicago.
He had traveled unattended, with the
' common herd. He had been subject to
1 all He had not been able
to sleep in the train, and. when he had
once more reached the St. Regulus, at
half past eight in the morning, he had
to turn on his own hot bath and get into
bed without heip—oecause J files could
net be found. These and a number of
other fermenting grievances much in
flamed monsieur. And, even now, no one
came hurrying to his assistance.
He rang a second time. The red
headed youth reappeared.
"Are ye stuck to th’ wire, or thryin
to bore a nole through th’ wall, ye frog
eatin* FrlnchmanT’
"Send Jules Chevrel to me. Where is
Jules? Send me Jules! Send me my
servant, Jules.”
"Awright,” said the red-headed boy,
bowing still more deeply.
He once more withdrew, and monsieur
threw himself back on his pillows with
a great air of exhaustion. But wnen
Jules Chevrel did at length arrive, a
short, thick-set man, close-cropped after
the French fashion, carrying a cup of
chocolate in one unsteady hand, and in
the other a morning paper, his eyes blood
shot. his employer had enough energy left
to berate him roundly.
“You were drunk again last night,
Jules.”
“I was sober,” Jules contradicted inso
lently.
“Have the goodness to hand me my
boots,” cried monsieur, getting half out
of bed in his rage over such futile un
truth.
I “You don’t want boots on your bare
feet,” Jules objected. “You aren t going
to bathe In your boots. What do you
want your boots for?”
“I want them to kick you downstairs
with, you scoundrel!" cried monsieur, but
Jules merely darted a glance of contempt
at him and went on with his own occu
pations unmoved. He would have a card
or two to produce from his sleeve ere he
should be kicked downstairs.
Monsieur subsided presently, but he did
not altogether forego his complaint.
“Why did I bring you with me from
Paris?" he grumbled bitterly. "Because
you can speak the barbarous language
they use in this barbarous country, and
that you might assist me in my search.
I place myself thus in your power, and
how do you help me? By getting drunk!
Look you. Jules. There is now enough
of this folly. The next time it happens
you go back to Paris.”
“Is it my fault," growled Jules disre
spectfully, "that it takes a little time to
find a needle in such a haystack? Have
not I tolled devotedly to serve monsieur?
Monsieur forgets, it seems’’—
"I forget nothing, Jules,” monsieur
broke in. in a tone more placable. He did
not care to be reminded of some services
Jules had done him. “I forget nothing,
and—when the time comes you will not
find me ungrateful.”
“When you get hold of the girl, you
mean,” muttered Jules to himself. “I
may get the smallest possible share of
the plunder—if I can force you to dis
gorge. But I know a trick worth two
of that. I’ll squeeze her purse first, and
yours afterwards—since it will then be
better filled. I wish I had not let her
slip through my fingers last night, but—
I’ll find her again. And, in the meantime,
I suppose I must humor you.”
“Monsieur’s bath is ready.” he said
aloud. He was sober enough now, and
had all his wits about him again. He
would tell nothing of his chance en
counter with the object of their joint
■ quest.
I "Events will develop themselves.” Jules
assured himself with great philosophy.
“And when I find her again, as I certain
ly shall, she will pay dearly for any ex
tra trouble I may have, before I turn her
over to monsieur." „
He helped his employer to dress, and,
by the time that operation was over, both
were !n much better temper. Then
Jules was dismissed for the day. He had
been pondering what hb had seen after
the girl had left him at Martin’s. Tho
street car he had caught had carried him
quickly up Broadway, and he had sight
ed her in her automobile as she had turn
ed east. He had cunningly deduced that
she was bound for the ferry.
' With only that slender crew to guide
'him he made up his mind to look for her
ion Long Island.
I He hired a small auto, and having made
| Inquiry about her at Long Island City, he
[discovered a dock-hand who recalled hav
ling seen a lad/ alone in a runabout leave
i the boat between nine and ten on the pre
vious night, and from the description he
• had no doubt that it must have been the
HK7
l girl he was seeking. But which way she
had gone no one could inform him, and,
while he stood there debating the best
road to follow, a big new touring car
passed at an easy pace.
He ducked down behind his own ma
chine as he recognized at the wheel of
the other, beside a gray-haired individual
unknown to him. the man he had seen
overnight at Martin’s. A sudden suspl
sion shot through his mind. He promptly
decided to act on that.
Quaintance had not been idle since he
and O’Ferral had parted. during the
small hours. He had found It vain to
seek sleep, while his brain was yet busy
with the strange events of the evening.
I Dawn found him pacing his room.
1 He had been thinking during the dark
hours of a face too fair soon to be for
gotten. He had been wondering whether
he could forget it in time. And day
light brought clear understanding. He
could not.
He must find her again, at all costs.
By 8 o’tlock he had O’Ferral on the
phene, and immediately after breakfast
he bought a high-powered and no less
high-priced automobile.
Then, as soon as he could get in touch
with O’Ferral again, he had insisted on
taking him out for a trial spin.
The correspondent by a curious coinci
dence was called to Rockaway Beach.
If Quaintance could carry him thither,
and back to the Cornucopia club, it
would be convenient to join him. Quain
tance could. They crossed the ferry and
headed through Far Rockaway to the
beach, where they drew up at the Inn,
allghed, refreshed themselves, and stroll
ed toward the shore.
Jules Chevrel, following from the fer
ry at a safe distance, also stopped at,
the Inn long enough to absorb two brim
ming bumpers of absinthe frappee, and
set out to dog them afoot.
The two men strolled slowly along the
boardwalk, discussing the topic upper
most in Quaintance’s mind.
“I wish I had got a better view of
the runabout that girl was driving last
night,” he remarked. "I don't believe
I’d know it again unless she were in it
herself.”
“I should,” answered his companion.
“It was a Cadillac, two-seated, model
Q, ’O6, lacquered In olive green, dark
canvas cape-cart hood, three headlamps.
Most of ttie brasswork had been coated
over} to save cleaning. The only thing
I couldn’t get a line on was the num
ber—it was too thick with dust.”
"You’re a marvel,” said Quaintance.
“When special corresponding becomes a
lost art, you ought to get good pay as a
detective. How did you manage to no
tice so much in such a short time, eh?”
“The faculty of observation,” retorted
his friend. “In my trade one has to be
as quick as a snapshot and accurate as
an adding machine at the same time.
I’d have been dead and burled a long
time kKo « 1 hadn’t learned the trick.
I’ll give you another bit of my mind if
you like, Steve. You remember the rat
faced Frenchman?”
“I do,” said Quaintance concisely.
“And a cheap-looking car we passed
just outside the dock gates In Long Island
City?”
“I didn’t notice It particularly.”
“Well, the Frenchman was with it. He
followed us down here. He’s close to us
at this moment.”
“Where?" asked Qflaintance eagerly.
“Keep cool,” requested O’Ferral, grip
ping him by the arm as he would have
turned. “Be more circumspect, confound
you. What d’you want to do?”
“I want to feed the fishes with him,”
confessed his companion. "Last night I
offered the girl a seat when he left her
standing while he was away wrangling
with a waiter about 10 cents. When he
came back he gave me a scowl that would
have earned him a broken neck then If
she hadn’t been looking on. Let me have
just a couple of words with him, and I’ll
be as circumspect as an oyster.”
“W’hat you’re going to do at present Is
.to ignore him,” O’Ferral declared peremp
torily. "And the reason why,” he contin
ued, as Quaintance reluctantly fell into
step with him again, “Is that we want to
find out first what his little game is. It’s
my belief that he’s out after the girl, too,
and, if she’s anywhere In this neighbor
hood. we’ll let him find her for us. I have
an Idea that he thinks you know a good
deal more than you do about her. We
don’t need to undeceive him, and while
he’s hanging about here she’s safe—from
him.”
"True for you,” agreed Quaintance.
“He’s a thoroughly ba<j egg, that fel
low, and—he seemed to have some hold
over her. I’d give a great deal to find
her again, O’Ferral, and, when I do”—
"If you do,” corrected his friend.
“When I do,” he repeated stubbornly,
“I’ll make quite sure what It was and
then settle scores with him.”
“But what will you do If you find she’s
married, or, what’s still more likely, en
gaged to somebody else?” O’Ferral asked
gravely.
"She wore no rings.” retorted Quaint
ance. “She’s free still, and that’s why
I’m In such a hurry.”
They faced about, and the Frenchman,
who had drawn closer as they slowed
down, suddenly found himself confront
ing them. They drew to one side, and
waited for him to pass.
A wiser man would have gone on his
way. Their steady stare boded Jules
Chevrel no great grace. But the French
man was fuddled by the drink he had
swallowed and in the hot sunshine. He
stopped, and eyed them with swaggering
self-assertion. He addressed himself to
Quaintance. 'X
“You are no doubt on Intimate terms
with the lady who sat at your table in
Martin's last night during my unavoida
ble absence?”
Quaintance stepped very quietly up to
him.
“See here, my man.” Quaintance said.
”I’ll give you one chance to go on un
hurt. though you don’t deserve it. An
other word in that strain and I’ll man
handle you.”
The Frenchman ignored the warning
and went on in French.
“I want her address.”
‘What you want andiwhat you’rp going
to get are two very different things,”
said Quaintance. “Put your hands up—
I’m going to begin.”
•I want her address," the Frenchman
' repeated obstinately. "And you will do
I well to beware what you are about. If
yoM are abetting her in”
Quaintance seized the Frenchman bj
his coat collar, plucKed him off the
ground, carried him to the water’s edge
and cast him seawards with all the swing
of two muscular arms.
It was high tide at Rockaway and the
human projectile came down with a
squelching splash.
The Frenchman rose, spluttering, all
the fight washed out of him. He clam
bered ashore, dripping, hatless, and as
Quaintance spoke a few low, menacing
words to him, went toward the Inn,
swearing blood-curdling oaths to himself
but without looking back.
Having rough-dried himself there and
donned a coat he made for Manhattan at
spteed, planning prompt revenge for the
cruel Indignity Quaintance had put upon
him.
AMERICAN TARIFF LAWS
PROTECTION PROPAGANDA
Some Idea may be formed as to the far
reaching consequences of the unending
campaign of education in favor of pro
tection when it is stated that 20,000 votes
properly distributed would have made the
present congress Democratic, and 40,000
properly placed would have made the six
tieth congress of the same political com
plexion. A hundred thousand votes In
the 'close states would have placed Wil
liam Jennings Bryan In the white house
instead of William Howard Taft, and
200,000 cast in certain states would have
made Alton B. Parker president over
Theodore Roosevelt. Ordinarily the re
sult turns on even a narrower margin
than this. For instance, had Mr. Bryan
secured 28,000 more votes in the critical
states in 1896, he would have succeeded
Grover Cleveland. It is safe to assume
that the senate’s political complexion
would be likewise changed, and that the
balance of power between high tariff and
low tariff is held by less than one per
cent of the voters of the United States.
In all the history of politics there has
never been a more unrelenting, thorough
going, and effective campaign of education
waged than that in behalf of protection.
This campaign began almost before the
constitution became an accepted fact, and
It has continued from that day to this,
gathering strength, garnering influence,
and assuming new proportions, until now
It reaches more people every day In the
year than any other campaign of educa
tion can reach in a full week. Beside It
the literary crusade that was carried on
against slavery pales as does the moon
before the noonday sun.
• • •
No one can estimate the thousands up
on thousands of pounds of printers’ Ink
that have been expended In this cam
paign. Weekly and monthly publications
are devoted exclusively to the propaga
tion of protection doctrines. Others are
published In which the promulgation of
these doctrines is certainly not a second
ary Interest. Every maker of “boiler
plate” stuff for the small daily and the
weekly newspapers is regularly supplied
with matter tending to uphold the pro
tection theory. Speeches are circulated,
tracts distributed, free editorial matter
supplied, suggestions freely handed out.
And so it goes on incessantly, only with
more energy today than yesterday, and
more tomorrow than today.
• • •
Many are the organizations that are en
gaged in spreading the protection senti
ment broadcast, such as the Home Mar
ket club, the Union League club, and the
American Protective Tariff league. The
latter is the most aggressive and the most
unrelenting of all of them. Political‘par
ties get active during the stress of a
campaign. But as soon as it is over they
fall back into a state of do-nothingness
until the next approaches. But not so
with the American Protective Tariff
league. It works as hard between cam
paigns as it does while one is in pro
gress. Right now It Is getting things in
shape for the congressional election of
1910. It is sending out cards to protec
tionists everywhere and Is getting from
them la list of men who will cast their
first votes that year. These cards will
give them all of the information neces
sary upon which to base a systematic
bombardment of the judgments of these
first voters, and from now to the election
a year from next fall these young men
will be well instructed In the cardinal
doctrines of protection.
• • •
Nor Is this all. While seeking out the
first voters the American Protective Tariff
league Is not taking any chances that the
first voters of last year or any previous
year shall be exposed to the dangers of
backsliding. They are being cultivated as
assiduously as the prospective voter. Lit
erature is being got out all the time, and
the tremendous circulation of “boiler
plate” and patent outsides. Is being used
to the utmost advantage. In a recent year
in which there was no election the league
distributed twenty-two million pieces of
literature.
• • •
After this goes on for nearly two
years the political campaign opens up.
The party orators, party workers, and
party organs suddenly get busy and con
tinue so for a few months. Then comes
the voting and the announcement of
the result. Little wonder is it that the
party espousing protection is the win
ner. Men differ as to the questions in
volved in the tariff; but those who know
what has been taking place cannot but
ascribe much of the credit of victory to
the missionary work of the protection
propagradists.
On the other hand, the low tariff advo
cates are able to do but little mission
ark work between campaigns. There are
not those wealthy people who have suf
ficient motive to put up the money re
quired for an out-of-season campaign In
behalf of a low tariff. It Is always hard
enough for the low tariff people to get
money sufficient to carry them through
a campaign, much less to wage the war
between elections. Only a few tinges In
the history of the country has It been
different,
• • •
The constant fight in favor of protec
tion, before the people, was begun about
1820. New York and Philadelphia had so
cieties pledged to the support of home
Industries, and the test which determln-
“They are Indeed Intimate, he and she!
And It will be safest to strike him
through her,” said the valiant Jules to
himself, his whole mind bent on condign
revenge. “It will hurt him most to see
her suffer, and—monsieur must play the
catspaw for me.”
Still chewing the sweet cud of such
schemes, he reached the St. Reg-ulus some
time before monsieur came in from his
afternoon promenade, and tended to all
the details of that connoisseur's evening
toilet so deftly as to win a word of ap
proval. Whereupon he opened fire on bls
absent enemy, at long range, from a
masked battery.
"I have news for monsieur tonight,” he
began. “I do not think-that it will be
very long now before we strik# the true
trail.”
“Proceed, Jules.” cried monsieur eager
ly. “What news? Is It that you have
seen her?”
“I have not seen her myself,” Jules lied
glibly,- "but I have found those who have.
It is not in Chicago that she resides, but
close to New York, on Long Island.”
“Sacrebleu!” cried his master, excitedly.
“Let us go at once, my good Jules. Why
did you not tell me before! She may yet
escape us if we lose a moment.”

ed their attitude toward a politician was !
whether he would wear American-made
clothes. Similar societies sprang up in :
other states, and the politician who op- j
posed them had hard sailing afterward. |
Even presidents of the United States
found it advisable, if not necessary, that
they become members. About this time
the petition and memorial to congress
was freely brought into requisition, and
that body might well have concluded
that the world was on fire for protec- f
tlon if they had judged by the number ;
of long papers presented, whose breadth !
has long since been squeezed out of
them by their Incorporation in the big'
'volumes of “The American State Pa- j
pers.” At one point a Philadelphia high ;
tariff society took a Virginia low tariff i
association to task for advocating free j
trade, and the argumentative fur flew
for many weeks.
Then as now, the tatriff was largely a
local Issue, and when the southerner had
something to protect, he labored for pro
tection as assiduously as any other man.
The propogandists knew , this full well,
and always sought to take advantage of
the situation. This sort of crusade did
not suit the free trade advocates of that
day, and many of them took the propa
gandists severely to task for it. Os
their work in 1820 one member ssJd:
“Their unfounded and inflammatory
sTElements have pervaded every part of
the union. Each member of the pres
ent congress has been deluged with
enough stuff to fill two large volumes.”
The high tariff publicity campaign
which resulted in the passage of the bill
of abominations, was the greatest that
had yet been undertaken. The country
was fairly deluged with protection liter
ature. Hezekiah Niles and Matthew Ca
rey had come onto the stage of action,
and they trained their most powerful
guns on the free trader. Niles had start
ed his Register in Baltimore years be
fore, but Is was now coming into its
own. A man perfectly sincere in his
convictions, with no selfish Interest in
termixed therewith, he made the “Amer
ican System” the passion of his life.
He made Niles’ Register the recognized
authority on all tariff matters, and ac
quired an Influence perhaps never be
fore or since enjoyed by any tariff writ
er.
• • •
Matthew Carey went at it in a different
way. He was the greatest pamphleteer
protection has evei had. In one of his
later pamphlets he states that he had
written and published fifty-seven booklets
on protection, aggregating some 2,23 i
pages, besides many essays, circulars, me
morials and newspaper articles. He charg
ed the manufacturers whom he had
helped by his work with being ungrateful,
and when they refused to pay him $570 for
expenses incurred he published the letters
of gratitude they had written him along
side of their answers to his requests for
compensation.
• • •
From the days of Carey and Niles down
to the present time the output of litera
ture in favor of protection has never been
allowed to fall off. The manufacturers of
the country contribute liberally to the
propaganda, and in aditlon to this use
their Own instrumentalities to reach the
public. At the present time a leading
manufacturer of automobiles is sending
broadcast to the press a liberal supply of
high tariff literature, and others are fol
lowing his example.
• • •
When one looks over the list of publica
tions dealing directly and indirectly with
the tariff, as shown by the indices of the
library of congress, he is astounded by
their vast number. They range all the
way up from a ten-page pamphlet to a
six-hundred-page book, and from that up
to a ten-volume set. Nearly all of this lit
erature is controversial, and most of It
bears the mark of partisan and the politi
cian, rather than that of the student and
the historian. In all the vast array there
are not over half a dozen books whose
statements are not more or less tinged
by partisan bias. The protection litera
ture bears a proportion of more than
two-to-one as compared with the free
trade literature.
• • •
The propaganda has justified its exist
ence many times over to those responsi
ble for it. Representing as it does the
most incessant and complete missionary
effort ever made by any political party in
any country, It has also yielded fruits be
yond the richest dreams of avarice.
Whether the doctrine of protection is
right or wrong, it has been hammered so
deeply into the minds of the people thai
at the present time it seems not to be a
question of protection or free trade, but
of the degree of protection. The propa
gandists have taught the nation to forget
the old idea that protection should be a
temporary thing and to regard it as a per
manent principle.—(Copyright, 1909, by

TAXICABS' KEPT Bust •
AS RESULT OF STRIKE
The Atlanta Taxicab company, which
is having many calls for vehicles to
transport passengers down the Georgia
road and which has made trips as far as
Madison, is charging regular meter rates,.
For instance: Covington is forty miles.
If a passenger goes there he must pay
the $16.50 for the outbound trip and a
similar amount for the time it takes the
taxicab to get back to Atlanta. In oth

cab costs $33. The price is the same for

Already two of its machines have bro

wheel pop off in a mudhote, while four
miles out from Covington. Both cars
were carrying four passengers each at the
time of the accidents and the company’s
offices in Atlanta were telephoned and
sent out two more machines. The disa
bled cars are still by the roadside where
they broke down.

ESTATE OF ROGERS IS
WORTH $100,000,000
NEW YORK, May 25—The will of H.
H. Rogers is to be read tomorrow after
noon at his late residence in East 78th
Street by his personal attorney, James M.
Beck. Only the immediate relatives will
be present.
Previous to the reading of the docu
ment, Mr. Beck would not discuss the
contents nor the amount of the estate in
volved. Estimates of the value of the
estate range from $40,000,000 to more than
$100,000,000.
A number of anonymous friends of the
late financier are quoted as saying • that
Mr. Rogers left an estate worth much
more than was popularly supposed. In
the Wall street district it is not believed,
however, that the public will ever know
the approximate value of Mr. Rogers’
' forune, as it is understood that the will
was so drawn as to confine this informa
tion to the Immediate beneficlariea There
is a possibility, however, that the state
tax upon inheritances may bring to light
the much discussed figures.
The widow, who is said to have col
lapsed after the final funeral services at
Fairhaven, was reported as improving to
day and it was said that following the
reading of the will she would return to
Fairhaven for a long rest.
