There was a time when most of them were very partisan They were Republican and Democratic papers first and newspapers afterward. Now most papers are nearly always very independent in politics, and those which support one party or the other are newspapers first and partisan, if at all, only incidentally. No good paper will lose a chance for a clever or witty comment just because it might make a point against its political party, if it has one. For instance, here| comes the staid old New York Herald Tribune, generally regarded as the leading Republican new - | paper of the East, with the following its e torial page, under the heading, “A New Leaf”; | Senator Harrison TDem.),” of "Miss!s: J | The Senator is v close to the Pri Senator Fess (Rep.), of Ohio: No; Senator is not.

The Free Trade Conference. (Manchester nations wers represented at a Free Conference held in London on Friday, and the deleg included eminent foreign economists and industrialists, who brought first-hand evidence of the working of Protection in their own countries. The principal British speaker was Lord Snowden, who prophesied that Protection had not “come to stay” in Great Britain. This suggestion was warmly by Dr. Demuth, adviser to the Berlin Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Schroeder, another Ger- man delegate, advocated large regional Free Trade |Unions, and Dr. E Heldring, of the Amsterdam CI\«IthI of Commerce, suggested a “nucleus of low- | tariff countries on the North Sea” as an immediately practicable step. The countries which he had in mind were Great Britain, Germany, Holland and Scandinavia. Such a group, he suggested, might agree on a moderate maximum of import duties (say 10 per cent.) and would be free to apply lower duties or none at all, and ‘rationing of im- ports” would. be mutually excluded. Just Tribute to Carl Reiter. Guardian.) Seventeen (Seattle Times.) Carl Reiter, who passed away Saturday, will be sadly missed in Seattle, It is doubtful if any man was more widely or more pleasantly known than he throughout the years of his residence here. A good showman, a delightful entertainer and re- a sterling citizen, he was at home in any company, claiming and easily holding the warm regard of all with whom he came into contact.

She makes one condition. The marriage must be kept secret, for if her employer, Grafton Matching, hears of it he will discharge her from the posi- - ticn she is so proud cf. Eddie agrees and they plan a week together before he leaves for Mexico. George takes the work she has been doing in to Mr. Matching. She has been ab- ruptly called away from Ryder Vale's dinner party for the night work, leaving her cous- in Jenny with Ryder Vale. Jenny has been interested in Garth Avcney, whom Vale in- troduced to the girls that ev- ening, but Aveney has seemed attracted tc Georgie and is new wailing outside Match- ing's house for her. Matching is using his nephew to test the pessibility that Georgie is rccponsible for the “leak” of the firm's private business and it has been implied that Av- cney is the nephew.

Is that clear?” “Quite, sir. Goodnight.” She turned away. A familiar sound followed her —the muffled hum of the model dynamos. Grafton Matehing had switched them on and, twisted| grotesquely, his wig crooked, hung over them. MHe was talking to them but not in his dreadful fal- setto. “Pretty—oh, very pretty indeed.” Tt was a thin monotone that merged into the humming of the wheels. “Reserve of power there.

Of all the men met, Aveney was the only one the type that funny Jenny called “worth while.” But Georgie was not a flirt she got no great pleasure of the infatuation of a man meant nothing to her.
