.pro-Joseph aspirants were eliminated and Meier pushed into

Meier is not just satisfied with the brief, dazzling but
deceiving platform of Joseph. He not only adopts it in toto,
he adds several new planks which make it now a most for
midable mouthwash. Besides accepting the Joseph dictum
of cheap power "without cost to the taxpayers" and the glit
tering1 promise of more industries without telling whence
nor why they come, Meier dangles the bait of more tariff on gim to clear away, tiny scales or
lumber, cessation of unemployment by digging up jobs for
the workless, bringing more population to the state, and
promises the best schools and roads along with "economy in
public expenditures . To make sure that all possible flies
are on his rod : brown hackle, royal coachman, flying caddis,
etc., he adds the following:
"If there be any other matters on which you or other members
of the committee desire further information from me I shall be glad
at any time to frankly outline my position with respect to them."
That should open the way to add any new brilliants
which Lester Adams or Rufus Holman or Jay Bowerman
may not have thought of .
Thus with the journalistic fanfare of the Portland press
broadcasting the blah of their principal advertiser, the state
committee will meet tomorrow. There is the Telegram self-

be relieved by applying petroleum

MacPherson on Cabinet Plan
TJECTOR MacPherson, member of the legislature from
LL Linn county, and advocate of the cabinet form of gov
ernment, has taken notice of the pot shots taken at his pet
scheme in recent months using the dismissal of Judge Saw

Pherson has to say:
"Two or three recent editorial comments on the cabinet form of
government constitutional amendment indicate that the writers be
lieve that the recent unsettled political conditions nave tended to
create distrust of the cabinet plan. It was stated that the amendment
weuld place too much power in the bands of a radical or erratic gov
era or. The dismissal of Judge Sawyer from the highway commission
by Governor Norblad and the assumed radicalism of the late Senator
Joseph were cited as reasons for the distrust.
"Fortunately onr experience under Governor Norblad gives us
material from which we can compare our present system with the
proposed cabinet form of government. - :
. "The most Important part of our reorganisation scheme was
achieved during the last session of the legislature, under the higher
educational consolidation act. There was one vacancy under that act
which Governor Norblad filled. Herman Oliver's term expired and
necessitated an appointment which is ope of the most important non
salaried positions within the gift of the governor. Why was TCe rmaa
Oliver re-appointed I He waa re-appointed because the terms of the
higher educational act made Irresponsible action impossible. When
vacancies occur between sessions under that act, every appointment
must be endorsed either by two-thirds of the senate or by two-thirds
of an interim committee of six senators. The knowledge ef having, to
face men like Senator Corbett ef Portland, Senator Eddy of Rose
burg. Senator Straycc of Baker, or Senator Wlllard Harks of Albany,
who are members of the interim committee, lor the approval of his
appointments, would hare a sobering effect on any governor.
"Compare the appointment of Herman Oliver with the dismiss
als and appointments of other officials under Governor Norblad and
we have the contrast between our present system and the proposed
cabinet form of ' government. The cabinet system mskes respon
sible, carefully considered action 'a necessity tor every governor. This
Is vouched for by the foremost political scientists from their knowl
edge of the operation of the cabinet system in other states."

CSnby murderer of his neighbor, to kill himself. Was it fear or re

OF AN

CRUISE
CHAPTER XU
Faith never asked herself whe
ther Brander loved her; she had
always known that known It
without admitting tne knowledge.
even in her thoughts. She loved
him, body and heart and soul; her
eyes yearned for his, her tongue
to tell him what her heart was
singing, her arms to embrace bim.
She got up at last a little wear
ily. It was only a matter of min
utes that she' sat there, looking
within herself. When she listen
ed, now, ahe could hear Noll's
voice on deck, roaring in .the old
way. Once she Ijeard Brander ans
wer him from somewhere amid-
shlps Again she caught the mur
mur of Dan'l Tobey's tones.
Brander was her love: but Noll
Noll was her' husband and she
his wife. Faith passed her hand
across her eyes as if to wipe away
these visions she had looked up
on. Noll was her husband; her
vows were his. She was his, he was
In her keeping, his lite and hers
could never take diverging paths.
He was her charge, to strengthen.
snd guide and support; his tasks
were hers, his responsibilities
were her responsibilities, his burd
ens must rest upon her shoulders.
But she did not deceive herselt
Old Noll waa dead, old Noll Wing
who had mastered men for year
on year. That Noll waa dead; the
Nou who lived was weakling.
But she was a part of the living
Noll; and she was no weakling.
So .
Her lips set faintly. Love Bran
der though she did, there was no
plaea for him In her ute. Her lite
was Noll; her life belonged to Noll
NoU was failing; his flesh
might live, but his soul was dead
and his strength waa gone. His
task had fallen upon her.
Quite simply, in that moment
Faith promised herself that what
ever happened, the Sally Sims
should come . safe home sgain;
that no man could ever sav that
Noil Wing had failed in Ue end;
that -no man should. ever make
lest of Moll's old renown. It NoU
Could not manage these things for
himself, she would.
She began, suddenly, to err. She
locked herself In her eabin and
frept bitterly for hours, but after
ward,-bathing her eyes, freshening
herself to meet'NoU's eyes, she
looked into .the mirror end smiled
and lifted bar t kA"
, "Ton can do it Faith," she told
nerseu. -You can do it full as
well as he." Then more seriously:
"You must do it Faith Wing. You
must bring the Sally safe home!"
; When she stepped out Into ths
after cabin, she saw the revolver
still on the floor where Noll had
left it She picked it up, to return
It to its proper drawer.
: But on second ', thought she
changed -her mind and took tt and
hid it in her bank.
' A curious lull settled down up
on ths Sally Shns during the days
after Nott's open accusation of
Faith and his collapse betem Jier
steady courage. Apathy was In the
sir. They saw tew whales, low
ered for thftnT without teal, and
missed more than one that should
tare been killed. There was a
Silence upon the ship, like the
hush of listening men who watt to
hear an expeetad i a&v This srs
ysa' sapped .every jwul aboard
save NeU Wing alone t , t r
Noli. In those last days, stalk
ed his deck like ft parody of the
man he once had been. Faith had
put within him ft fictitious eour
age; he thought himself one mors
th master, as in the past EQa
heels pounded the planks; , his
head waa high; his voice roared!
there waa trembling about the
poise of him; there was quaver

to a conspiracy to befool him.
They leaped to bis bidding; they
shrank from his corses as if des
perate with fear; and Noll waa so
delighted with all this that ho was
perpetually good-natured and jo
vial.
He was, of course, drinking
heavily and steadily; but the
drink seemed to hearten him and
give him strength. Certainly it
made him lenient; for on three
occasions when the men found a
bottle forward and befuddled
themselves with it NoU only
laughed, as If at a capital jest
Faith wondered and was dis
tressed, and watehed to see how
the liquor was being stolen. She
waa disturbed and. alarmed; but
Noll jested at her tears.
"A little of it never hurt a
man, he told her boastfully.
"Look at me, to see that! Let be.
Faith. Let be."
When she protested, ho over
rode her; and to show his own
certainty of himself, he did a thing
that Noll, sober, would never have
done. He had the rum drawn from
the barrel in his storeroom and
served out to the men ration
daily. It amused him to see them
half-fuddled with it He forced it
on them; aad once, while Faith
watched hopelessly, he command
ed a hulking Cape Verder the
biggest man in the fo'c's'le to
drink ft bout with him. They took
glass for glass till the other was
helpless as a log; and Noll vaunt
ed his own prowess in the mat
ter. Dan'l Tobey contented himself
with watching the progress of the
tragedy. He no longer stuck a
finger in the pie. The captain was
going that was plan to see to
any seeing eye.
Faith could do nothing; Bran
der could do nothing. Between
these two, no further word pass
ed; but there was no need. Corn
lag face to face on deck, the day
after NoU aurprsed them, their
eyes met in a long steady glance.
Their eyes met aad spoke; aad af
ter that there was no need of
words between them. There was
a pledging of vows in that glance;
there was also s renunciation.
Both saw, both understood. Faith
thought she knew Brander to the
depths.
Neither, in that moment knew
that Danl Tobey was at hand;
but the mate had seen, end he had
comprehended. He slipped away,
held, his peace, considered.
. Brander was fighting for Roy,
t fulfill bis pledge to Faith. He
had set himself to win the bora
confidence and esteem; he applied
himself to this with all the
strength there was In Aim, Yet ho
was careful; be. did not force the
Issue, he did not harass Roy with
his attentions. He held off, ler
