H 12 GOODWIN'S WEEKLY. H though dumfounded and follow the stretcher upon H which he lay as It was borne toward the hotel. Hi H All through the grim hours of that gray, over- M cast morning she waited in the dressing room that H had been "His," while in her room soft-footed H doctors moved about, the very carefulness of M their tread sending an agonizing feeling of doubt h into her heart. M It was just as the first rose tints of a new H day began to smile down upon a sea grown H weary of its frenzy that the doctor opened the m dressing room door, and smiling, took Mrs. For- H estier's hand in both his. H "Your husband is conscious now," he murmur- B ed, "and is asking for you." M The1 color flooded into Maribal's face. j "He will livo " she whispered tensely. m The doctor's laugh -was soft, but it conveyed a H wealth of reassurance. H "He will play the hero many more times yet," M he said slowly. "It was a nasty knock, but he B will be as fit as a trivet in a few days. Go in H now he wants ytfu." B Slowly Maribal entered her room, and mov- M Ing shyly to where Allen lay, crept into his B arms. i New York Telegraph. I DEMOCRATIC IDEA OF "PITILESS PUBLICITY' M Washington, July 27, (Special.) The most M ubiquitous form of "pitiless publicity" fostered H by the administration is that of the Democratic M campaign publicity bureau in the department of Hl commerce. M Since the passage of the Underwood tariff K law the department of commerce has been to the H perpetrators of that outrage the object of their H tenderest -solicitude. Every wish of the depart- W ment has been indulged; every recommendation B of Secretary Hedfield has met with congressional m sanction. B The reason for this partiality is becoming H more and more apparent as the months roll on: 'l Secretary Redfield is the anointed champion of M the Democratic tariff policy. He has com- W mandeered the bureau of foreign and domestic H commerce ("the spearhead of the department," M as he terms it) and has pressed government em- B ployes into service. With a generous allowance M from congres, dipped from the public purse, he M is running as busy a little Democratic campaign M publicity bureau as one could wish to see. M Note the following items in the appropriations for the department of commerce for the fiscal B year 1915: "To further promote and develop the H foreign and domestic commerce of the United M States, $75,000; field investigations at home and h abroad, $50,000; to promote and develop the com- Hi merce of the United States with South and Cen- H tral America, $75,000; for commercial attaches, k $100,0000." All of these sums to be expended un- H der the personal direction of the secretary of, H commerce. Wha.t the secretary says, goes. Here M are the sinews for "hidden" advertising. Three H hundred thousand dollars appropriated for pur- M poses of present doubtful utility at a time when m economy should have been the watchword of the m "government! What could have been done "to m further promote and develop" commerce after m the Democratic tariff law was passed, it is dif- m ficult to imagine. M The concrete result of these appropriations, M aside from the money devoted to printer's ink M publicity, is the appointment of a large number H of "deserving Democrats," some of whom have Hj been sent to Europe as commercial attaches and H are drawing large salaries to study commercial m conditions which are in temporary abeyance. V Others as special agents, whos chief function B is to gumshoe around the country, snoop into M the business of manufacturers, and then render reports so partisan and abusive as to be utterly valueless for economic purposes, even if their authors had any ideas respecting the science of economy. The report on the pottery industry in New Jersey and on the hosiery industry in Mont gomery county, Pennsylvania, are examples of the lengths to which these political pets will go in villifying the manufacturers of the country. Still others are being put on the payroll to correct "the methods of collecting export statis tics." The terrific slump in our export trade following Democratic control convinced Secre tary Redfield that "the statistics of our export trade are incorrect to an extent sufficient to al ter at times a trade balance on mercantile trans actions which is actually in our favor into one which appears to be the reverse." It is apparent that Mr. Redfield received this Illumination some time after August, 1914, when the balance ot trade for that month was over $16,000,000 against us, and he sent Dr. Frank R. Rutter, assistant chief of the bureau to the New York custom house to fix that little matter. The large exports due to our war orders having, for the time being, put that subject in the background, Dr. Rutter is again at his desk in Washington. But it is the audacity of campaign publicity work at the taxpayers' expense which amazes. All this Democratic propaganda, furthermore, is sent out under government frank. For some months the "Commerce Reports," which are in tended to be devoted solely to matters concern ing our trade, have been carrying pages of matter having nothing to do with commerce, and adul atory of the administration. In plain, words, the public is getting a correspondence course, at its own expense, full of partisan teaching designed to create favorable feeling toward the adminis tration, and this whether the public wants it or not. Mr. Redfield is running a Democratic cam paign publicity bureau on forced subsidization. He will close in 191G.
