AN UNGRATEFUL LOT
The self-selected heirs to the admin-
istrative record of Mayor Black showed
Scanty gratitude to His Honor when
they were in convention assembled in
Beethoven Hall. The Mayor did the
best he could for them in the speech
that he delivered and then they hit him
rwith bricks. For gentlemen who are
.seeking to make friends for themselves
that was no way in which to behave.
After the mayor had concluded his
address he was followed on the rostrum
. by Mr. L. B. Stoner candidate for
mayor. Just by way of proving bow he
appreciated the mayor’s efforts in his
behalf Mr Stoner said:
•‘I am also In favor of clean street#—
but I do know thia: up to two years ago
we had the cleanest afreets I ever new
a e <nd that can’t be said for the past two
F years.”
That was really a tender tribute to
render to the man whose administra-
tion is just drawing to a close and who
had honestly done his best for the man
who turned around and made that rank
criticism of his administration.
The next rap at the mayor came from
Nr. Davenport the chairman of the
■meeting who said in introducing Mr.
Koepps candidate for tax commissioner:
“J have the pleasure of Introducing
to you now a man who has been an
Accountant most of his life; a man whn
I Is thoroughly familiar with tax con-
ditions; a man who owns his own home
and who is having to pay thr*»e or four
|| times as much taxes a- he did a couple
of years ago.”
Considering that Mayor Black was
‘.elected largely because of his pledge to
‘reduce taxes such a slam as that seems
a bit inconsiderate to say the least.
The next Chesterfieldian outburst came
from Mr. LeStourgeon who whanged this
►< little laurel wreath down on the brow
; of Mayor Black and invited him to
Mike it.
"Now. w« didn’t come here to blow;
we came here to work; we cam* here to
pull Ran Antonio out of the awfulest
hole Into which San Antonio ever got
Itself; we came here to make Ban An-
l tonlo saf* from future floods; we ram*
here to save ©ur homes from practical
confiscation; we came here to make a
better San Antnnlo possible and I want
to tell you that we cam* here to work
and I am going to pull off my coat and
■tart to work.” (Applause.) (The
•peaker removes his coat.)
U “Awfulest hole’’; “practical confisca-
Mon.” Why could not the heirs cf the
jßlack administration let him even get
|but of the hall before they commenced
attack their benefactor and political
godfather?

LAW ANNULLED
Il The so-called Supreme Court of the
Wnited States has reached and made
ntblic a five-to-thrcc decision to the
1 :ff<£t that “wages cannot be fixed by
t aw.” That decision was made a few
• lays ago in a case “brought to test the
. onstitutionality of an act of Congress
i txmg minimum wages for women and
I ninor girls in the District of Columbia”
an Associated Press dispatch from
mV ashington
I effect will this have upon mini-
-1 mum-wage laws throughout the coun-
Doubtless it will depend upon liti
? Ration in the various states; but wh)
J jhould it? If the nation’s highest trib
’ Jtnal were truly supreme every sucl
’ ‘aw would automatically be nullified In
। he court’s action in the District of Co
umbia case and with no more ado that
WEDNESDAY.
official notification of that action. More-
over under a practical Operation of this
country’s original plan of government
any state would be violating the con-
stitution by administering a minimum-
wage law of its own after the United
States Supreme Court’s formal announce-
ment of such a comprehensive opinion
as the one in the District of Columbia
case seems to be.
One may or may not agree with the
majority opinion from the standpoint of
cither law or the public welfare. But
if the majority opinion of the nation’s
highest tribunal on any legal question
is the law of the land then no further
action than the court’s own official an-
nouncement of its decision should be
required to make it so and authorities
undertaking to enforce a minimum-wage
law in any state rather than persons
accused of violating the latter statute
should be the defendants in any case
growing out of an attempted application
of such statute.
Upon the question of the constitu-
tionality of minimum-wage laws or per-
haps more particularly upon the ques-
tion whether such laws perform a ser-
vice or a disservice to society popular
opinion is likely to divide abruptly. But
irrespective of whetherthe majority de-
cision of the Supreme Court is right or
wrong either legally or morally accep-
tance of that decision as ”the law”
is the test of our governmental system’s
workability in practice.
There are those who will contend on
the moral side that even if minimum-
wage laws are at odds with the consti-
tution there should be some legal means
of protecting workers against uncon-
scionable exploitation.. They will print
out that under certain conditions a labor-
er must cither accept the small com-
pensation offered him or else starve.
Time was when some employers did
not realize that they were handicapping
themselves doubly by paying less than
living wages—that they were limiting
the efficiency of their own business by
employing the cheapest labor obtain-
able and were incurring popular dis-
favor by exploiting the unfortunate.
Wages are lowest when unemploy-
ment is widespread and widespread un-
employment is a reflection of general
economic conditions from which em-
ployers as well as employes suffer. It
is possible that an employer should pay
low wages merely as a means of keep-
ing his business going and not for
purely selfish reasons; it might be a
question of either low wages or none
at all.
As a more thoroughly practical prop-
osition the tendency has been for mini-
mum wages fixed by law to become the
maximum wages. Thus the arbitrary
fixing of wages may easily impair rath-
er than promote the interest of those
for whose benefit such interference with
economic forces is intended.
THEORY OFFERED AS FACT
Senator Ransdcll of Louisiana presi-
dent of the National Merchant Marine
Association issued a statement a few
days ago in which he asserted that the
United States itself would pay Great
Britain’s war debt to this country as a
result of the failure of Congress to enact
the ship-subsidy bill. The British he
said were admitting that this would be
the effect of the measure’s defeat.
The United States may in effect
within the sixty years allowed under the
recently adopted .funding plan pay the
loans it made to Great Britain during
the war. But is there any assurance that
it would not have done so if Congress
had voted millions in gratuities to Ameri-
can ship owners? Senator Ransdcll and
other advocates of a ship subsidy pre-
sented a mere theory and arc now
talking as though that theory were an
established fact. One may accept the
forecast that the United States will pay
to the British within the next sixty
years enough money in the form of
ocean freight rates to enable them to
meet their installments on their debt
without drawing upon other sources.
But it requires no little pro-subsidy
prejudice to accept the cause which
Senator Ransdcll assigns for that possU
ble development.
Opposed to the pro-subsidy theory is
a principle that is as old as commercial
intercourse between nations. Application
of that principle to Britain and America
brings the conclusion that the granting
of gratuities to this country’s ship own-
ers far from precluding the effect which
Senator Ransdcll forecasts might easily
if not inevitably aggravate it.
If conditions arc such that American
merchant ships cannot profitably com-
pete with British would those condi-
tions be removed or even greatly modi-
fied by a subsidizing of the former or
by undertaking to support them in any
other artificial way?
The sheer fact that a subsidy was
proposed testifies to the existence of
conditions unfavorable to American ships
in competition with British ships. Even
with a subsidy the former would still
be operating at a loss so far as 'ncomc
from actual operation of the ships would
be concerned. And the ship owners’
consciousness of the fact that the gov-
; ernment stood behind them would not
| in the natural order of psychological
processes afford an incentive to ecoaoni/’
and efficiency—oifly two of the man)*
factors which will have to be brought
to bear upon this country’s shipping
business if it is ever to bccohie able to
hold its own in competition with the
most successful maritime nations.
So voting of millions in subriV.es to
an enterprise which is unable to stand
on its own merit would most likely ie-
sult in augmentation of the sums which
the American people —those who foot
the government's bills—would have to
pay out. There would most likely be
two bills instead of one to be paid on
account of the entire merchant-marine
situation. Tn addition to the subsidy
money the American people would have
to provide whatever amounts represented
the profits of Great Britain’s shipping
business. In other words the United
States instead of paying in effect only
the British war debt to this country
would have to add to that total enough
to keep American ships on the seas at all.
All this does not imply that the United
States should withdraw from the carry-
ing trade and leave Great Britain or any
other foreign nation the commercial mis-
tress of the seas. It means simply and
solely that before this country can rea-
sonably hope to build up a creditable
merchant marine it must remove by
natural means if it can the handicaps
which give it the disadvantages it has
been suffering in its attempt to com-
pete with Great Britain in this great
field of worthy endeavor.
POETS’ SERVICE TO MAN
Poets are proverbially regarded as
impractical folk. They arc supposed to
live in a sort of rarefied atmosphere
to have little if any conception of the
value of the prosaic homely things of
life and to be of little value to the
work-a-day world.
But the old and popular appraisal of
poets fails to embrace one vital reality.
It is too one-sided for it assumes that
the only things worth while in life are
of a material nature. If a poet is im-
practical with respect to activities upon
which the welfare of the body is de-
pendent be serves a distinctly albeit
seldom recognized practical end in that
he affords an indispensable balance be-
tween the physical and the spiritual for
those who arc by nature inclined toward
the former.
Exceptional is the man who does not
have moments of longing for freedom
from the wearying work to which he
must devote himself to keep body and
soul together and to perform his duty
to those dependent upon him. He has
feelings and half-formed thoughts which
he cannot express in words. He goes
out into the hills or upon the prairies
or into the valleys and there feels im-
pulses which seem to be out of keeping
with his every-day affairs. Momentarily
he revolts and would break the shackles
of economic necessity. And then he
may wonder at the impulses that surge
within him.
But he should not be ashamed and
he will not if he accepts the statement
that real poets however impractical they
may be in relation to those things in
which men bargain and trade neverthe-
less perform a function which after all.
may be appraised from the utilitarian
standpoint. To be able to interpret life
in poetic terms is to enjoy it in the
fullest measure. There is no more
wholesome recreation than definite medi-
tation upon the manifestations of Na-
ture. No wonder that old Omar in-
cludes “a book of verse” in the items
which make up his formula for perfect
bliss.
But no book is necessary if one has
taken time to read beforehand. Senti-
ments expressed by poets need not neces-
sarily remain in one’s mind in the form
of lines of iambic pentameter. Dactyls
and “feminine endings” are not indis-
pensable to the enjoyment of the beau-
ties that await every appreciative ob-
server in the great field of the out-of-
doors. However to have a speaking
acquaintance with the works of the
great poets is to make that enjoyment
fuller and perhaps more certain. To
identify this or that impression as one
which has called forth sweet rriusic or
been recorded in immortal verse is to
experience a diversion which uplifts the
spirits and rejuvenates the body thus
preparing both for the arduous "prac-
tical” tasks of tomorrow.
Poets are not so “impractical " after all.

and his band of riders appear. Ve-

then wins LOLA SANCHEZ the rose

as a stake for Brideman. Velantrie
fills Lola's sash with gold and tells
her to go home to her father.
Go on With the Story.
Present they swung far and away
toward the north and west to skirt
the foot of the Mesa Grande that lift-
ed its flat top high above the sur-
rounding levels to find the narrow
trail that went up its south side in
steep and dangerous slants and to
climb to its high tableland where the
ancient Indian huts stood hollow and
deserted whipped by the winds and
eaten by their sands.
These silent places held a lure for
Vai Hannon had always drawn her
from the time when a little child
her father bad first brought her here
to sean the world below.
Vai sat straight in her saddle her
hands folded on the pommel.
And as they rested so ia the hush
of the eternal silence alone on the
mesa with its ghosts of a vanished
people something moved on the
plain below far off to the west and
caught their searching gaze.
A band of horsemen rode there
Hwiftly sweeping out of the north
where lay the town of Santa Le-
andra and one shot out ahead a
leader.
The girl shaded her eyes with her
hand and watched this rider and his
horse. A red horse it was—-a great
red horse whose man lifted above
him like a cloud whose beautiful
body lay stretched along the earth
in skimming flight whose whole
make and seeming were oddly fa-
miliar.
For a long moment site watched
while Iter eyes grew round with won-
der and Iter lips fell apart. Then
she dropped her hand and laid it on
Redstar's neck as if she made sure
of his living presence.
"Sweetheart.” she said at last in-
credulously. "if you weren't here be-
neath me I'd swear you ran yonder
as sure death!”
And far off there where he rode
like the wind itself toward the mys-
tery of the all-engulfing Border Ve-
lantrie rose in his stirrups nnd
scanned the solitary horse and rider
standing like a statue high on the
mesa's edge.
He was too far away to sec the
wondrous beauty of the red king
facing him or to know his rider for
a woman. But with his characteris-
tic gaiety he stood up for a second
and sweeping the broad bat from his
bead waved it in circles.
And Vai Hannon answering the
stranger's signal raised a hand
above her head.
The summer drowsed upon the land.
The winds had died this day nnd the
brazen sun was monarch. Whore the

tween its low banks to nurse the
straggling growth of trees that lined
it. the heat was somewhat tempered.

and many wasatcha trees to spread

desert flowers planted in stone-

rugged grassless inured to hont and
drought yet pleasant to the eye and
mind r.s many a more favored spot
was not. To the west of the garden
and beyond the trees standing out
against the sun and the desert winds
like a speared and shielded warrior
the long blank walls of the Mission
took the light on their pale expanse
in a way to be seen for many miles
across the plains.

CHAPTER IV.
The Cross in the Wilderness.
Movie of a Man Drinking From a Folding Paper Cup
lent land across the Border those
broken and dispossessed by the war-
ring factions that destroyed their
own and got nowhere .the sick in
mind and soul and body—these came
to the doors of Refugio and none was
turned away.
For at those doors stood Father
Hillaire who for 40 years had watch-
ed the stretching plains. He had
seen some piteous things and more
that were tragic and some that were
bright with faith and courage and
everlasting fidelity—such as John
Hannon's love for his blind wife —
and he was gentle with understand-
ing.
But those who came to the Mission
must work for Father Hillaire was
poor in worldly goods and the Meant
fare that was so free on the long
board in the great bare living room
behind the church must be taken
from the soil with unceasing labor.
Frijoles grew on the level stretches
across the stearm and a few bands
of cattle ran on the open range
while sturdy grapes purpled on the
wall that Hasped the garden. Brown
bread and milk and simple home-
made wine and the frijoles always
these waited the comer at the Mis-
sion steps be it dawn or dark .or in
the dead .of night. But sometimes
the slices of the dark bread were
thin the tea strongly flavored with
sage for gold came scarcely to the
padre's coffejs in these days.
The sun went down toward the
west and the long blue shadows
started out across the level floor
from the lone shafts of stone and
the table lands of the mesas and the
little wind began to whisper from
the south while the wondrous colors
came sifting through the light.
These colors had been to Father
Hillaire one of the priceless posses-
sions of his life a gift of God in all
truth a wonderful healing and in-
spiration.
Never was the day so dark the fu-
ture so uncertain but that his bur-
dened heart found peace and hope in
their beholding.
Today as they flushed the high
vault above the garden. Father Hil-
laire shut his beloved books and rose
to greet them.
In that instant there came the
sound of the long-roll of a running
horse upon the distant plain.
He hurried to the opening in the
high wall where the great gates
turned back upon it and looked
eagerly out. For a moment a pucker
of concentration drew in between his
brows then smoothed away as the
chaining smile came upon his features.
"Ah!” he said aloud delightedly
“Velantrie!”
It could be no other.
There was not in the land another
pair like the two who came skim-
ming forward like a swallow the
man and the horse—there eould not
be. They seemed not two but one
so perfectly did they blend together
in motion and appearance. The rider
carried his broad blaek hat in his
hand and the wind of their coming
blew the black hair back from his
white forehead .and his face was
bright with laughter to greet the old
priest in the gate.
“Father!” lit cried as the great red
horse thundered up to slide in the
dust and stop with his haunches to
the earth bis fiery eyes a-shine in
bis broad bay face. "Padre! Ave!”
He flung himself from the saddle
and caught the padre's hands in
both his own pumping them up and
down boy fashion.
“My son!” said Father Hillaire
gladly searching the sparkling face.
“Son—son! It has been long long
since Refugio has seen you. Come
in. Have you eaten?”
“Not since yesterday but what
matters?”
He laid his arm affectionately about
the old min's shoulders and turned
toward the garden carefully gather-
ing the bridle rein he had not loosed.
So they entered the garde?! draw-
ing the great red stallion after and
the father stopped and securely
closed the gates.
“Bonifacio” he called into the
depths where the shadows were al-
ready falling “come and take The
Comet. Give him” he continued ns
n slim youth came briskly up
through the wasatcha trees “a little
water—not much-—and rub him
down well. Then a feed from the
binq in the north stable. Keep watch
upon him thyself until I call.”
Dusky women their faces meek
with the sweetness of .hat house
went noiselessly about the setting of
th« evening meal and old Josephina
for many years the chatelaine greet-
ed the stranger with a warmth of
recognition in her wrinkled features.
And so presently Velantrie of the
Border sat at the long table with the
padre of Refugio and ate as one fam-
ished though with grace and man-
ners. He bowed his black head
through the short blessing and with-
held his hand with a slow repres-
sion. though hunger was with him
keenly.
When the meal was finished the
two men went outside again to the
starlight and the dry garden drew
together the worn chairs by the little
table where lay the ancient books
and talked in that deep communion
comes with liking and under-
standingg.
Twilight deepened and the tip of
Velantrie's cigarette glowed in the
dusk sign-manual of comfort.
They talked swiftly and eagerly
and the padre leaned forward and
laid his worn hand on Velantrie's
knee.
“Oh my son” he said softly “I
have grieved over this waste for all
the months I have known you! Loss
—loss! It is not right a crime
against humanity for a man like you
—a man who can control himself—-
to cast his high chance to the four
winds.”
Velantrie smiled in the gathering
darkness.
“You know father” he said “that
I'd take that from none but you.”
“I know” said the priest firmly
“and I dare. I have dared much in
my time. The keen knife is the
kindest. I dare because I love you.
“And I take it and come back—for
the same reason. See.” he laid aside
his cigarette in his fingers and reached
in a pocket on his hip.
