Cuba Libre JUST how far does our responsibility go toward ending the terrorism and despotism in Cuba. Not since the days of General Weyler, the Spanish military governor, has there been as much discontent and as great suppression of popular liberty on the island at the present time. President Machado is a tyrant ruling by assassination. Newspapers print only imder strict censorship. Even foreign papers and magazines are not permitted to circulate if they print the truth about ; Cuba. Higher institutions of learning are closed to end stu ; dent rebellion. Under the Piatt amendment we could intervene by send ing in a governor backed by a force of marines. It ought to be possible to accomplish the same result by diplomatic rep resentations that American support would be withdrawn from the present administration. It then would crumple in ' an hour. For no government in Cuba can live unless it is either very popular at home or else in favor with Washing ton. Much of, the responsibility for the conditions which pre ' vail is laid at the door of . American capitalists who have leagued themselves with Machado in order to protect their investments on the island. But they would have no compunc tion about deserting him when they see the jig is up for him. ' They cannot longer sustain such a bloody destroyer of pop ular liberty. A few words from Washington expressed with appro priate firmness and supplemented with a few additional words from New York financiers would speedily convince Machado that his health called for a long sea voyage. That would be the best way of ending the prolonged exercise of force and murder by which Machado has retained power. A Poor Appointment THE designation of Josephus Daniels as ambassador to Mexico was an unfortunate appointment. It has stirred resentment in that country where it Is remembered that Daniels was secretary of the navy in the Wilson administra tion and ordered the marines to land at Vera Cruz in pun ishment for disrespect to the American flag. Daniels was of the Bryan band of democrats and politicians; and was inno cent of any design against Mexico. But his name is remem bered there, with scorn. The attempt to wreck the train bearing him to his mission indicates the antagonism which his appointment has evoked among Mexicans. The old man may be able to soft soap the Mexicans. He fe Tnoiinur nlrl man with no evil thoughts or bad habits. The ncf rmwpver for ability to think clearly and to ' gloved hand. One of the brightest spots in tne repuDucan rimintafmtinn w the restoration of eood feeline between HfoTi'on nri the United States ritation of Wilsonian days. It is too bad to have that season cf ill feeling brought to mind again by the appointment of Daniels who was a participant in the events creating the ill innrvrPTit of ill intent. He should have been shunted to Finland where another distinguished Amer ican editor is now busy packing his keepsakes and snow- ahoes. There la one Held of sport where the northwest has It over Cal if orala, north, south and middle. That la In rowing. At the regatta ; Saturday the University of Washington crews won all three events at the Long Beach lagoon. Ther made much better time than Cal ifornia did In winning the Olympic championship oyer the same course last year. A start has been made with rowing at Corrallls, but the- sport needs more support financially and otherwise to en- ' able the crews to compete In blgevents. Meantime, we can rejoice at the record which Washington makes with remarkable consist ency. - The democrats who beat their breasts to the accompaniment of lorrendous walls when Newberry and Frank L. Smith of Illinois were having their elections examined by the senate, now find them aelves embarrassed over what to do with Huey Long. Petitions from responsible and respected citizens of Louisiana give Long a charac ter that Is far worse than Newberry or Frank Smith ever dreamed of, but the democrats In the senate show no pious revolt. Instead the disposition Is merely to use the investigation as a club to keep Jluey In line. Virtue Is still more or less partisan in character. i : " Good work by police and sheriffs In Oregon has resulted la bringing to Jail a group-of bad actors. One of them Is Frank But ler, with a long criminal record in Linn and Benton counties, who escaped last fall from the state prison. The gang pulled the Phil omath bank robbery; are suspected of doing the Union State bank hold-up In Portland; and were nabbed In connection with a payroll hold-up near Tacoma. The officers keep criminals pretty well tag ged; and are succeeding In keeping at a low mark the unsolved ma jor crimes of this part ot the country. Ona reason whv the JaDs have ot China is that the Chinese merchants are many of them glad to see "law and order'' established. For years under civil war they hare been subject to heavy tolls from army and bandits alike. Neither property nor life was safe. Japan is sinning in the sight of other powers in violating treaties; but China has been an amoorphous mass so long, she laid herself open to invasion and conquest. China's weakness before the world is her i Republican postmasters will pire, says the democratic paymaster, Jim Farley. This is just one of the courtesy arrangements between the parties. The dems. expect the same treatment when the repubs. return to power. Meantime, too, Farley can keep teasing the stay in line on wanted legislation.

SYNOPSIS Ifary Faith and Kixnberley Far rail have been engaged for some time. Mary Faith, beautiful young orphan, give up her position aa secretary to Mark Nesbit when Kim sets their wedding date. His attitude changes brusquely when bis mother objects. The latter treats Mary Faith coldly. Heartbroken. Mary Faith returns to her office and breaks the news to her co-workers. Mark, taken m. has Mary Faith driven to his country home, daily, for two weeks. He tells her of bis love for her. She halts him, say ing she will never love anyone as she did Kim. While la a jewelry store with Mark, selecting a Christmas ring for bis sister, Mary Faith meets Kim with a girL Next morning, Kim calls at Mary Faith's boarding house. He assures her of his love and pro poses immediate marriage. Mary Faith melts in his arms. Mary Faith tells Mark the is leaving to marry Kim. After a hasty marriage, Mary Faith and Kim drive to his aunt's house in a neighboring town. For two weeks they live their honey moon in ecstasy. They return to town and find Kim's mother QL Kim's aunt is present Mary Faith is called a "Puritan" by Kim's friends, Claire and Jack Maldon, at a Sunday night party when she re fuses to play carda of dance. Kim dances with Claire. CHAPTER XVIII Claire put both of her arms around Kim and closed her eyes as they danced. She evas a little girl and her head came just to Kim's shoulder. It looked very bright against the dark blue of his coat. Sitting in a corner of the blue davenport, watching her, Mary Faith began to feel dull and uncom fortable and out of place. She knew that she bad nothing in common with these friends of Kim's. Claire had told her that she was "funny' and "old-fashioned" because she wouldn't play cards on Sunday. "What she meant was that I'm slow and narrow-minded," Mary Faith said to herself. "But if I am. so was Kim until just lately." In the days of their engagement Kim had never been much of drinker or card player. Certainly he never had played cards for money. "What are you looking so mel ancholy about, Mary Faith?" Jack Maldon came la from the kitchen with a tray of ke and glasses and set it on the mantelshelf. "Aren't we going to play bridge?" he asked, and dropped down beside her oa the sofa. "No. I don't play cards oa Sun- day . . . I m sorry. "Would you like to dancer Mary Faith shook her head and sent him a troubled apologetic smile. "I don't even dance on Sunday, Jack. I'm afraid I'm a terrible spoil-sport' "No," he said gravely, "I think you're aU right ... I get a little tired of doing things all the time, myself. It's a relief just to sit and talk and look at the fire sometimes, isn't h? Even if it's just gas-logs." At ten o'clock Kim and Mary Faith went home. "WelL what do yon think of the Maldon!?" Kim asked as soon as they were out of the little flat "Wasn't the word 'pep' just coined for Claire? She's a dandy girl, isn she?" "Isn't she pretty?" Mary Faith answered him with a question. She was never going to let Kim know that she did not like Claire Maldon and wasn't at ease when she was with her. She was going to ac cept aU of bis friends and make them welcome in her home. . . . She was going to make life peaceful and pleasant for him always. "I enjoy going up to their flat more than any place I know " Kim was saying slowly and a bit thickly "There s always the makings of good time there. Claire sure does know how to do things, doesn't she Wasn't that a slick little supper she got upr "Delicious. . , . But I wish you wouldnt drink, Kim. Yon never ased to drink." since her early womanhood the wife of "Bert" Bowersox of Al bany. The father of the son-ln-Iaw was Rev. J. Bowersox, an old time prominent minister In Salem, where "Bert" grew up. S Mention was made of the fact that Mrs. Owen D. Hutton has been active In lodge affairs. Along with W. T.

"Not I what you could really call drinking. I . . . The next morning Aunt Ella packed up her thing! and went home to Garrettsvillc "I'm doing it a-purpose," she told Mary Faith in her sharp, kindly way. "If Amelia has to depend on you to take care of her for a few days she won't be so high-and-mighty with you. You and she will get to be pretty good friends if there's nobody but the two of you in the house all day so 111 just move myself out of the way and give you a try." What Aunt Ella lacked in English she made up for ia good hard common sense. AU that week Mary Faith took care of Mrs. FarretL She made her bed, brought her her meals of chicken broth and milk toast and gave her the medicine that Dr. Thatcher pre scribed for her. Dr. Thatcher had been the Far relTs family doctor ever since Kim's babyhood. He was a tall, broad' shouldered man with a heavy, hand some face and iron-gray hair. Mary Faith liked his deep, low voice and his air of authority. "He's a widower," Mrs. FarreU told her, "and they say that half the nurses in town have their caps set for him. But I doubt that hell ever marry again and if he does hU be some woman his own age hell pick. I imagine. Every morning, when she was ex pectin g nun, sne would sit up in bed, brushing her thick hair, wind ing h around her head in a coronet braid that was very becoming to her, and powdering her face. Once Mary Faith came into the room and found her rubbing violet toilet water into the palms of her hands. "Please don't get it into your head that I'm fixing myself up because the doctor's coming," she said sharp ly. I just happen to like a uttle perfume now and then. It makes the air in the room seem so fresh.' On Friday Dr. Thatcher told her that she was so much better he wouldnt have to come to see her any more, and on Saturday she got out of bed. Mary Faith sent for her trunks and her cedar chest that afternoon and she unpacked them while Mrs. FarreU sat on the living room couch and showed her where to hang the CLUB MEETS FRIDAY EVANS VALLEY The Evans Valley community club which was to nave neid its meeting Friday 39 Years Ag COXEY'S ARMY MARCHES ON NATION'S CAPITOL I'rom the Nation's News Files, Washing b, l.

"I thought my mother would raise Cain when you brought your things into the house." Kim said the next morning when Mary Faith brought hun his coffee. She would have. too, if you hadn't asked her where to put everything and kidded her along the way you did." "I wasn't 'kidding' her, Kim. I just want her to feel that she and I are partners. Women work to gether in offices without quarreling and there's no reason why they shouldn't do it in houses. YouTl see that she and I will get along all right if you just give us time." Mrs. FarreU said that she felt shaky after her illness, and she spent most of the next week reading the books that Mary Faith had brought from Mrs. Puckett's. She sat aU day in her easy chair at the front win dow, with her feet in her little stool, lost to the world in the pages of "The Duchess of AVrexe or Clay hanger." AU that week Mary Faith had the flat to herself. And to the work ia it she brought the same neatness and deftness that she had given te her work ia Mark Nesbit' s office. But she enjoyed it as she never bad en joyed ofnee work. She took a keen pleasure in the polishing of silver, the washing and ironing of the be draggled kitchen curtains, the mix ing of a salad dressing. She had a system, too. Kim was usually out of the bouse by quarter to nine, and nine o'clock found her in the kitchen washing the breakfast dishes. The damp gray dishcloth disappeared from its nail under the kitchen sink and a brand-new dish mop took its place. Burnt matches no longer lay scattered on the floor under the gas range. The tea towels were washed out after every meal and hung on a line on the back porch. After hmcB she read or rested for an hour or twe. Then she took a bath and dressed herself for the rest of the day, carefully brushing her dark hair and powdering her face, making herself as attractive as she could for Kim's eyes. Along about four she would walk down te K3 banc's grocery and market at the corner and buy the things fur dinner.
