The Argonauts Return to the Rising Sun.
It was mid-October. The two saddle
horses and a team for carriage use had
been shipped ahead. In the private car
the little party was beginning its own
journey eastward. From the rear plat
form they had watched the tall figure of
I'ncle Peter.Bines standing In the bright
autumn sun. aloof from the band of ker
chicf-waving friends, the droop of his
head anc| shoulders showing the dejection
he felt at seeing them go. He had re
sisted all entreaties to accompany them.
His last injunction to Percival had been
to marry early.
"I- know your stock and I know you."
he said "and you got no call to be rangin'
them pastures without a brand. You
never was meant fur a maverick. Only
don't let the first woman that comes ridin'
herd get her iron on you. No man knows
much about the critters, of course, but
I've noticed a few things in my time. You
pick one that's full-chested, that's got a
fairish-sized nose, and that likes cats.
The full chest means she's healthy, the
nose means she ain't finicky, and likin'
cats moans she's kind and honest and
unselfish. Ever notice some women when
a cat's around? They pretend to like 'em
and say 'Nice Kitty!' but you can see
they're viewin' 'em with bitter hate and
suspicion. If they have to stroke 'em
they do it plenty ging-erly and you can
see em shudderln' inside like. It means
they're catty themselves. But when one
grabs a cat up as if she was goln' to eat
it and cuddles it in her neck and talks
baby-talk to it. you play her fur bein'
sound and true. Pass up the others,
son.
"And speakin' of the fair sex," he
added, as he and Percival were alone for
a moment, "that entcrprisin' lady We set
tled with is goin' to do one thing you'll
approve of.
"She's goin'." he continued', in answer
to Pcrclval's look of inquiry, "to take her
bank-roll to New York. She says it's the
only place fur folks with money, jest like
you say. She tells Coplen that there
wa'n't any fit society out here at all,
no advantages fur a lady of capacity and
ambition*. I reckon she's goln' to be 403
all right.+.
"Seems to me she did pretty well here
1 don't see any kicks due.her."
"Yes, but she's like all the rest. The
west was good enough to make her money
in. but the east gets her when spendin'
time comes."
As the train started he swung himself
off with a sad little "Be good to your-
self." ^
"Thank the Lord we're under way at
last!" cried Percival, fervently, when the
group'at the station had been shut from
view.
"Isn't it just heavenly!" exclaimed his
Sister. "Think of having all of New York
you wantbeing at home thereand not
having to look forward to this desolation
of a place."
Mrs. Bines was neither, depressed nor
elated. She was maintaining that calm
level of submission to fate which had been
her lifelong habit. The journey and the
.jpew^ /ifJe.Wjere
they formed for her the line of least re
sistance along which all energy mustflow.
Had her children elected to camp for the
remainder of their days in the center of
the desert of Gobi, she would have faced
that life with as little sense of personal
concprn and with no more misgivings.
Down out of the maze of hills the train
wound and then by easy grades after
two clays of travel down off the great
plateau to where the plains of Nebraska
lay away to a fair horizon in brown bil
lows of withered grass.
Then came the crossing of the sullen,
sluggish Missouri, that highway of an
an earlier day to the great northwest
- and after that the better wooded and bet
ter settled lands of Iowa and Illinois.
"Now we're getting where Christians
live." said Percival, with warm apprecia
tion.
"Why. Percival." exclaimed his moth
er, reprovingly, "do you mean to say
there aren't any Christians in Montana
City? How you talk! There are lots of
good Christian people there, tho T must
say I have my doubts about that new
'Christian Science church they started last
i spring."
"The term. Mrs. Thornlike, was used
in its social rather than its theological
significance." replied her son. urbanely.
"Far be it from me to impugn the religion
of that community of which we are ceas
ing to be integers at the pleasing rate of
sixty miles an hour. God knows they
need their faith in a different kind of land
hereafter."
And even Mrs. Bines was not without a
sense of quiet and rest induced by the
gentler contours of the landscape thru
which they now sped.
"The country here does seem a lot co-
sier." she admitted.
' The hills rolled away amiably and reas
suringly the wooded slopes in their gay
coloring of autumn invited confidence.
Here were no forbidding stretches of the
gray alkali desert, no grim, bare moun
tains, no solitude of .desolation. " It was a
kind land, fat with riches. The shorn
yellow fields, the capacious fed barns, the
well-conditioned homes, alt-told eloquently
of peace and plenty. So, too. did the vil
lagesthose lively little clearing-houses
for immense farming districts. To the
adventurer from New York they seem al
ways new and crude. To bur travelers
from a newer, cruder region they were
actually aesthetic in their suggestions of
an old and well-established civilization.

In due time they were rattling. oxer a.
tang-led maze of switches, barely missing*
crowded passenger trains whose bells
struck clear and then flatted as the trains
flew by defiling by narrow waterways,
crowded with small shipping winding thru
streets lined with high, gloomy ware
houses, amid the clang and clatter, the
strangely sounding bells and whistles of a
thousand industries, each sending up its
.just contribution of black smoke to the
pall that lay always spread above and
steaming at last into a great roomy shed
where all was system, and where the big
engine trembled and panted as if in relief
at having run In safety a gauntlet so haz
ardous:
"Anyway. I'd rather live in Montana
City than Chicago," ventured Mrs. Bines.
"Whatever pride you may feel In your
discernment, Mrs. Cadwallader, is amply
justified," replied her son, performing be
fore the amazed lady a bow that'indicated:
the lowest depths of slavish deference..
"I am now." he continued, "going out
to pace the floor of this locomotive bou
doir for a few exhilerating breaths of
smoke, and pretend to myself that I've got
to' live in Chicago for ever.. A little dis
cipline like that is salutary to keep one
from forgetting the great blessing which
a merciful Providence has conferred upon,
one."
"I'll walk a bit with you," said his sis
ter, donning her jacket and a cap.
"Lest my remarks have seemed indeter
minate, "madam." sternly continued Perci
val at the door of the "car, "permit mc to
add that if Chicago were heaven I should
at once enter upon a life of crime. Do
not affect to misunderstand me.
I beg of you. I should leave
no avenue of salvation open to my
precious soul. I should incur no risk of
being numbei'ed among the saved. I
should be b-a-d, and I should sit up
nights to invent new ways of evil. If X
had any leisure left from being as wicked
as I could be. I should devote it to teach
ing those I loved how to become aban
doned. I should doubtless issue a pamph
let. 'How to Merit Perdition Without a

trust Mrs. Llewellen Ijeffingwell-Thomp
son, that you will never again so far for
get yourself as to utter that wor 'Chi
cago' in rry presence. If you feel that
you must give way to the evil impulse, go
off by yourself and utter. the name be
hind the protection of closed doorswhere
this innocent girl cannot hear you. Come,
sister. Otherwise I may behave in a man
ner to be regretted in my calmer mo
ments. Let us leave the woman alone,
now. Besides, I've got to go out and help
the hands make up that New York train.
You never can tell. Some horrible acci
dent might happen to delay us here thirty
minutes. Cheer up. ma it's always dark
est just before leaving Chicago, you
know."
Thus flippantly do some of the younger
sons of n en blaspheme this metropolis
of the mid-westa city the creation of
which is. by many persons of discrimina
tion, held to be the chief romance and
abiding miracle of the nineteenth cen
tury.
Let us rejoice that one such partlzan
was now at hand to stem the torrent of
abuse. As Percival held back the door
for his sister to pass out. a stout little
ruddy-faced man with trim gray side
whiskers came quickly up the steps and
barred their way with cheery aggressive
ness.
"Ah! Mr. Higbeewell, well!" ex
claimed Percival. cordially.
"Thought it might be some of you folks
when I saw the car," said Hig-bee, shaking
hands all around.
"And Mrs. Bines, too! and the girl, look
ing like a Delaware peach when the crop's
'failed.' Ho.v's everybody, and how long
you going to be in the old town?"
"Ah! we were just speaking of Chicago
as you came in," said Percival, blandly.
"Isn't she a great old town, thoa Won-
der!"
"My boy." said Higbee, in low. solemn
tones that came straight from -his heart,
"she gets greater every day you live. You
can see her at it, fairly. How long since
you been here?"
"I came thru last June, you know,
after I left your yacht at Newport."
"Yes, yes to be sure so you didpoor
Daniel J.but say, you wouldn't know the
town now if you haven't seen it since then.
Why, I run over from New York everv
thirty days or so and she grows out of
my ken every time, like a 5-year-old
boy. Say, I've got Mrs. Higbe? up in
the New York sleeper, but if you're
going to be here a spell we'll
stop a few days longer and I'll drive vou
aroundwhat say?packing-housesxiake
Shore DriveLincoln park"
He waited, glowing confidently, as one
submitting irresistible temptations.
Percival beamed upon him with moist
eyes.
By Jove. Mr. Higbee! that's clever of
youit's royal! Sis and I would like noth
ing betterbut you see my poor mother
here is almost down with nervous pros
tration and we've got to hurry her to New
York without an hour's, delay to consult
specialist. We're afraid"he glanced
anxiously at the astounded Mrs. Bines, and
lowered his voice"we're afraid she may
not be with us long."
"Why* Percival.'" began Mrs. Bines,
dazedly, "you was. just.saying--",
"Now don't fly all to pieces, ma!take
it easyyou're with friends, be sure of
that. You needn't beg us to go on. You
know we wouldn't think of stopping when
it may mean life or death to you. You
see just the way she is." he continued to
the Sympathetic Hiigbeewe're afraid she
may collapse any moment. So we must
wait for another time but I'll tell you
what you do go get Mrs. Higbee and your
traps and come let-us put you up to New
York. We've got lots of roomrun along
nowand We'll have some of that ham,
'the kind you have always bought.' for
lunch. A. L.- Jackson is a miserable cook,
too, if I don't know the truth."
Gently urging Higbee thru the door, he
stifled a systematic inquiry Into the de
tails of Mrs Bines' affliction.
"Come along quick! I'll go help you
and we'll have Mrs. Higbee back before
the train starts."
"Do you know," Mrs. Bines thoughtfully
observed to her daughter, '1 sometimes
mistrust Percival ain't just right In his
head you remember_ he,did have a bad
fall on it when he was two years and five
months oldtwo years.' Ave months and
eighteen days. The way lie carries on

From The Journal Bureau, Room 45, Post Build
ing, Washington.
' Washington, April - 30.rWashington
politicians are wondering if there is to be
a split in the democratic party next year,
the east against the west. ' There are
signs in the west which point toward it,
and the subject is one which is attract
ing a good deal of attention among poli
ticians of both parties everywhere.
Several propositions bearing upon this
possible split and seemingly encouraging
it are self evident:
FirstBryan must be reckoned with in
the 1904 campaign first, in the national
convention second, if that body refuses
to follow him, in the regular campaign.
SecondThe eastern democracy, which
dislikes Bryan, and the trust promoters of
Wall street, strong supporters of repub
lican policies until now, who dislike
Roosevelt, are united in an ardent desire
to retire both permanently from active
participation in public affairs.
ThirdThe rumor of a coalition between
these hitherto hostile elements has
reached the great west, with the result
that both Bryan and Roosevelt haVe been
much strengthened in that Quarter.
FourthThis situation gives promise
that the 1904 democratic national con
vention will be one of the liveliest for
many years. The eastern branch of the
party will go to the convention supporting
Judge Parker, Olney, Gorman, or some
man of that type the middle west de
mocracy will go opposing any man whom
the east may present. In the struggle
which will follow, Bryan will probably be
defeated. Then what?
. It is a- curious fact that the democrats
of the great west, who followed Bryan to
defeat in two national campaigns, are
friendly to President Roosevelt, and en
tirely ..satisfied with him as a man and as
president. .-Free silver being dead, they
stand for him on all the great issues of
the'day, and are prepared to trust him so
far as the tariff is concerned. What these
men will do next year will depend very
largely upoii Bryan. At this time it
looks as if one of two things would hap
pen.. assuming that Bryan cannot control
the. 1904 convention: -
.'(%) The nomination, at Bryan'ssugges
ti'oh: ,of ah. independent democratic tick
e t, adhering to the Kansas City platform
and protesting against the swallowing of
the eastern wing of the party by Wall
street , or . -
(h) tbe support at the polls, by. the
western, ,or Bryan, democracy, again at
Bryan's suggestion, of Roosevelt..
Bryan's friends in the west have said
openly, and Bryan has said the same thing
in his public utterances, but more guard
edly, that the western democracy will not
support any man next year whOjjs under
suspicion of being managed by the trusts.
Cleveland. Olney or Gorman would be re
pudiated on their records Judge Parker
because of the company he is found in,
another case of Old Dog Tray.
It is so evident that the Bryan people
will not vote for any man who is nomi
nated at the behest of thfe old line east
ern bosses, that argument of the propo
sition is useless. If\the eastern states
are* not acquainted with the western
democratic situation, they ^are. sadly be
hind Hhe times. There are : signs, how
eve, that they.'jare" atJQua'irited with it,
elseVwhy the rumor, so frequently re
peated of"-la-fe. that it is.-!-the intention
of the eastern managers, after they have
gained control of the party in the .national
convention,-to-cut-loose from Bryan, aban
don the. great west to Roosevelt, and
focus the campaign on the so-called trust
states, Kew York. Connecticut. Rhode
Island, New Jersey, Delaware and West

vof the solid south, and o
would be more nearly possible than some
of his sanguine friends now think.
It is another curious fact that President
Roosevelt will probably poll .next year the
largest labor vote ever cast for a repub
lican pnesidential .nominee. -. Hitherto this
vote has been JargeJyt: democratic. It is
gathered together in .*he great cities, and
explains, more than any other single fact,
why these centers of population are usual
ly-democratic. -
' Roosevelt's- course regarding the settle
merit ' of the anthracite coal strike, and
his manly, courageous and fair attitude
toward, all questions concerning labor,
have won the hearts of the laboring
classes: They like "his frankness, his very
evident purpose to take the people fully
and freely into his confidence, his stand
for higher ideals and a purer citizenship.
They believe in him because he is typical
ly an American citizen, his veins filled
with rich, red American blood, and his im
pulses steadily and immovably on the side
of the right. They will vote for him in
large numbers, and help swell the popular
majority by which his admirers believe
he will be elected. In this connection it
may be said that the Roosevelt boomers
insist that he w jll break all records next
year so far as popular vote is concerned,
and in the event of a democratic split
establish a new high water mark in the
electoral college.
This estimate of Roosevelt's labor
strength is made as.the result of personal
inquiries made within the past two months
in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Min
neapolis. St. Paul, Milwaukee, Kansas City
and St. Louis, in which cities democrats
as well as republicans, and best of all,
business men not in politics, call atten
tion to the curious political phenomenon of
organized labor preparing to rally in sup
port of a republican presidential candidate.
The feeling that the trusts do not like
Roosevelt has been a factor in this change,
of labor sentiment.
This article has been written on the as
sumption that Roosevelt will have the re
publican nomination next year. Any
other assumption would do violence to the
truths It is true that last winter, while
trust legislation was being urged on con
gress from the White House, and while
the strike arbitration was' at a critical
stage, strong efforts were made to induce,
first Senator Hanna to enter the field
against Roosevelt for the nomination? and
afterwards. Senator Fairbanks. Both gen
tlemen were taken upon a high mountain
and shown all the treasures of the trust
world but they did hot yield to the temp
tation. They knew what the result would
be to them. They saw the irresistible
force with which the Roosevelt tide was
even then gathering, and did not propose
to be' engulfed" by it The time is sev
eral months gone by since the trusts have
thought seriously of - trying to prevent
Roosevelt's nomination. They have seen
that they could not bring into the nomina
tion contest against him anybody who
could command the confidence of the party
or of the country, and, therefore, they
have changed "their tactics. As was point
ed out in the beginning of this article, it
is now their hope to secure, the nomina
tion by the democrats of some such man
as Judge Parker of New York. Having
accomplished this, they propose to finance
the democratic campaign,, confining it to
the so-called trust states of the east, and
one middle west state, possible. Indiana
and these with the solid south, would al
most if not quite elect their man.
Obviously, the effect of Such a victory
would mean the permanent retirement of
both Roosevelt and Bryan.
It should be said of the men who have
evolved this plan,.that they do not know
politics any better-than the coal operators
last winter Hnew the labor problem but
that doesn't alter the fact that the plan
is a very real.one, and that its promoters
are in earnest They will probably fall
but that story will be told with best ef
fect after the elections next year.
If, as has been threatened, the trusts
undertake next year to prevent the nom
ination of Roosevelt thru railroad influence
in the several states, there will be trouble
for the trusts. The undertaking will fail
and the trusts will hasten the day of still
further tetlera.1 restriction. It such tot at
tempt is made it'wiil be due to the fact
thaC the trust managers are not politicians
and know nothing of how to manage
/men. They will go down to defeat just'
is the coal operators went down last win
ter. This plan of interference with the
nomination will probably never get be-
