The second Bryan cam paign was. based on anti-imperialism and he was badly de feated in 1900. The Spanish war had taken the stars and stripes off the continent and placed in distant seas. Our people were profoundly influenced by the Rudyard Kipling philosophy of the "white man's burden". Orators thundered v about the destiny of the Anglo-Saxon as the ruling race. Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines, Samoa came under the rule or protection of the United States. Later Roosevelt ob tained the strip for the Panama canal Disturbances in Haiti and Nicaragua called for intervention of our marines, and the Latin-Indian republics of this hemisphere grew to fear the encroachment of the "colossus of the north". Our imperialism reached its climax in the world war when for mingled motives of idealism and self-interest we engaged in foreign warfare on a vast scale. Ever since then this country has been "liquidating imperialism." We have pulled out of Europe save as participants in the negotiations for general restoration. We refused to join the league of nations, rejected man date over distant territories. We have taken the lead in scrapping navies, the pride of the Rooseveltian era of expansion. We have substituted diplomacy for force in dealing with Mexico. We compensated Colombia over the loss of Panama. The last of the marines were withdrawn at the new year from Niearamia. The congress has voted to set the Philippines adrift, thus "licmidatinir" our far eastern colonial attempt. The nation has thus radically reversed its policies of expansion" which was the polite name given imperialism after the Spanish war. In company with other nations, ex cept Japan, we have adopted a policy of economic national ism. This is carrying the country to the opposite extreme of narrow provincialism, embargo tariffs, anti-foreign agita tion; until it may be as productive of discord and difficulty as imperialism. The marines are coming home from Nicaragua. The news is a brief item in the daily prints. The fact is, that it marks the end of an epoch, our adventure in imperialistic ex pansion. Politics Adjourned? GOVERNOR MEIER closed his special message with the reverent hope, quoting Woodrow Wilson, "Let politics be adjourned". That is breath thrown into the wind, in a situation so agitated by politics as the sessions of the legis lmtnrn promise to be. In this tax matter politics cannot be adjourned, because there is the jockeying between groups as to the distribution of the tax. Groups of consumers like ffca iw rmlnna rmnnse the sales tax.

Of late the Major had been more friendly; but never genial. There was always in his bearing a certain aloofness, suggesting that he never lost sight of the fact that he was a gentleman of family holding the King's commission and that de Bernis was lust a pirate rogue towards whom necessity alone pre scribed a certain degree of civility "At your service," said Monsieur de Bernis, and they fell into step and paced on towards the southern rampart of rock, beyond which, unknown to them, lay Prlsdlla'i bathing-pool into which she was not likely again to venture. "I am distressed, stab me! I tell you frankly, de Bernis, I am dis tressed. Ton seem at odds with these buccaneer rogues, Leach and the rest of them.-! ask myself, if harm should come to you, what is to become of us, or, rather, what is to become of Priscilla." ."Can you suppose, sir, that I am not considering it?" "Ton are? You relieve me a deal. Yet not altogether." The Major was very grave. Tear with me a mo ment, de Bernis. You were impa tient with me once before when I asked you what is your intention by us when yoa sell away on this Spanish raid. Yet now that the time is drawing near, I am driven to ask this again. To ask tt again. Yew cannot surely Intend that we should saQ with yom. It would be ah unthinkable, stab me, that you should take Miss PrisciBa into the horrors and the dangers of a aeev fight." "Yea mlrht remain here at Mal- dita until i return to take yoa off," said do Bernis. "Ahl" Some of the gloom lifted the Valor? eoanteaance. Tea." Els tons was Baaing.

Monsieur do Bernis sailed, "sty dear Major, do yoa suppose that tt to from blindness to the obvious that I have contrived to survive sfl the perils of such a life as mine? The Major did mot like his tone. and the refleetioB it contained open hia own acumen. His manner lost some of its geniality. Tom mean that tt had already occurred to yoa? And not merely as a poasfhQity. Long before oar yesterday's dis agreement, I have known that tt Is not the Intention of Leach to keep faith with me.

Monsieur do Bernis, aneossdoms of the resentment he had loosed Miss Priaeffla ones I have led him to the plate fleet.1 "Oh, heavens!" said the Major la a horror that blotted everytUng else from hia mind. "Then . . . Then ," He was utterly at a loss. He had stood stm sgain. His heavy face was pale as ho turned It upon de Bernis. "But if this is so Still he could find no conclusion to his sentence. There was a sort of chaos in his dull mind. Monsieur de Bernis smiled. "It is something to be forewarned. Things may not fall out quite as Tom Leach expects them. Indeed, they may fall out very differently. I, too, have my intentions and my plans." The Major stared, his mind In labour. T suppose you think you can depend upon his followers, upon the leaders?" "What I think la of no great ac count. It is what I know that mat ters. And what I know Is that I de pend upon myself. Not for the first time, Major Sands." Considering him, so straight and calm and resolute, Major Sands came nearer to admiring him than he had yet done. This, after all, seemed to be a man upon whom it was good to lean in aa awkward situation. "You have no anxieties, then?" "Oh, yes. I have anxieties. Few things are certain in this life, how ever shrewdly a maa may plan. And too great a confidence is, they say, unlucky, which possibly is true be cause it make a maa care lees. That, behind him, was overtaking the half-caste aa he entered his tent. But before bo could ask the ques tion that trembled on his lip, the half-casts presented a blank coun tenance to him, thrust out a nether lip, shook Us head, and shrugged. "Sea da tout," ho said dismally. Monsieur do Bernis' eyes dilated under a frowning brow. "Ahl Bat this becomes serious." e e o On the following morning. Mon sieur do Bernis, a little grey of face and with the deep linos la tt mors marked than usual, sat brood. rag alone oa a Ettle knoll at some distance from the hut, staring out over the sunlit lagoon at the Cen taur, riding there with bare trees. Throe days, at the utmost, was all that remained of this sojourn oa Mak&ta. And tt was tills immiaenoe of departure that was so deeply fretting Monsieur do Bernis, that had stripped him of that sir of as sured confidence which hitherto ha had worm. Pierre, as usual, was absent, Xa the last two days this absence had not merely been confined as previ ously to the morning, but had beea repeated again la the lata after noon. According to the custom ho had established, his return was not to bo expected until midday. But now, suddenly, although tt could not yet be nine o'clock, ho appeared at Monsieur do Bernis side, to arouse his master from Us preoc cupations. So effectively did the mere sight of him move Monsieur de Bernis that ho was oa his feet before Pierre had even spoken. His expression so strained aa to be si moot seared, ho clutched the half caste's wrist, and stared questioav ingly into his face. Pierre grinned and nodded, show ing signs of excitement. "Enftn," he said. "Les vofla!" "C'est Men vrai?" Monsieur de Bernis demanded, Hke a man afraid to believe, lest his hopes should fool him. "Venes done voir, vous-meme." Pierre drew a telescope from Inside his cotton shirt, which once had been white but now was grey, and handed it to de Bernis. ' Then the two of them turned, and set off up the beach. Monsieur de Bernis observing that the Major was with Miss Priscilla, and satis fied that he would remain there on guard. They vanished into the woods, taking the path acrosss the Island by which Pierre had once conducted Miss Priscdlla. In less than half an hour they came out upon the western shore, and halted on the very edge of the sands to gaxe out to sea in the di rection in which the exultant Pierre was pointing. Less than five miles away three great ships were beating up to east ward, close-hauled to the northerly breeze and listing to starboard un der the weight of it until the edges of their white bellies showed below their red hulls.

"Cy" Woodworth's girl: Best wheat in the world: S S S Oliver Jory, owner of the Ore gon fruit dryer factory, tf 7 South Commercial street, and whose home la back of the factory build ing, comes pretty near to being the longest continuous resident of Salem. If he is not truly entitled to that distinction. . S He remembers "French Louie," and confesses that he was one of the mooch era of the grapes of that old recluse. But this was so long ago that the crime. If any,, has for time approaching three-quarters of a century been outlawed. . Hugh S. Jory, early pioneer, father ot Oliver, up to 185S or 1858, lived on "Boon's Island,' north of Mill creek, near where Liberty street becomes Broadway. That was near the vineyard of French Louie." The Jory family occupied a house there In which two famUies lived the others be ing the McBees, prominent in Polk county history. That was be fore the Jory family moved to South Salem. S Oliver Jory tells the writer ot an early courtship of "Cy" Wood worth, who has been contributing some interesting old time stuff of pioneer Salem days to this col umn. Silas Jones, sawyer in th old South Salem saw mill, who then lived at the extreme west end of Miller street, had three fine daughters, Sarah, Columbia and Sabina. Cy was sweet oa Sabina. One day at a public function ho braced up to Sabina and asked to see her safe home. When they ar rived at the front gate ot the Woodworth home, Commercial and ' Oak streets, now the homo of Mrs. Rose Babeock, til 8. Commercial, Cy stopped,-and, bid ding her "good day." passed into his parental front door, and left Sabina to walk oa homo alone. That was the eurrent Joke of the season of the -extreme Salem young set of the day believe it Mr. Jory recalls many incidents of the old Salem dars, and has memories of conditions that would seem strange to the ears ot pres ent day young people. He recalls the pioneer blacksmith shops. which were numerous, and among the leading business and indus trial enterprises, when their wares and services were necessary under conditions as they were then. The biggest blacksmith shoo of the town for a generation n that of Bash A Serlber J. J. Bash and C. W. Serlber. It a located on Trade and Commercial streets, where the freight depot of the Southern Pacific Is now. A large industry and business was carried on In that old shop, and the tamUles ot Its proprietors were among the most prominent and prosperous in the growing city. S Mr. Jory has given the writer several items of old landmarks and local history, about which there will be things to tell later in this column. S . Mrs. Mary V. Charlton. 109 X tOth street.
