Politicians, Not Morgan, Embarrassed mHE Morgan hearing, it develops, is proving more of an X expose of the politicians than it is of Morgan. J. P. r. himself seems to be enjoying the inquisition. He has actu ally laughed and chuckled. The discomfiture is among the poUticians who find themselves on the favored list, rather than with Mr. Morgan who is giving the information. And the most discomfiture is among the democrats; because they have made a profession of abuse-of the republicans, claim ing they were merely the champions of Morgan and the high priests of privilege and of "Wall street.' If there is anything reprehensible in the disclosures thus far, the democrats are showing up with as much tar on their clothes as republicans. Already the republican sena tors are making political capital out of the revelations. Robinson of Indiana says that the usefulness of Woodin as secretary of the treasury is ended, though a great many others had not observed it had begun. Robinson would recall Norman Davis, embassador extraordinary to Europe in the cause of world peace, because he borrowed money from Morgan & Co. Names also on the list are Senator McAdoo, Newton Baker, John J: Raskob, John W. Davis, all tried and true democrats; Clearly there is nothing illegal in Morgan's offering to . a select group the privilege of buying shares at prices under the prevailing market. But the distribution of the bounties to so many politicians has a sinister aspect, and the ethics of it is bad. However each case has to be decided on its own merits. Lindbergh for example, was son-in-law of Dwight Morrow, one of the Morgan partners, so it was a matter of relationship there; likewise Charles Francis Adams, who bought stock at cut prices before he became secretary of the navy, was father-in-law to Henry S. Mor gan, another partner. McAdoo was not in politics when he participated; and Calvin Coolidge had definitely retired from public office and politics. Hence, so far as the personal ethics is concerned, the circumstances of the individual case must govern. The result of the expose will be to lift the standard of business ethics another notch. Perhaps by law the offering of shares to "friends" at such bargain prices may be for bidden. At any rate the public reaction is adverse to such practice. . Slowly as these legal but unethical practices come to light they are appropriately condemned. A quarter century ago rebating was common with railroads It has now been effectively ended. Railroads used to distribute passes with a free hand, but that practice has stopped. Steadily higher conceptions of ethics gain foothold. And it is safe to pre dict that Morgans will not again pick a list of favorites and practically hand them a bonus check. Just this final comment: there were no names of newspaper publishers on the Morgan lists. Considering the hullabaloo about the subsidized press, one would think that Morgan would seek to cultivate friendly relations with the press by this device. But if the offer was made, it was not accepted. Democrats and republicans in high place are shown as recipients of Morgan's bounty; but no newspaper publishers or editors. Here is one case where the news papers have no apologies to make. Still Waiting for Tea Te "I""" 1 ATn 'j-... l e m inLuuiN b deserving democrats are sneadmg copious J tears over the slowness to boil. Here they are standing round with their tea cups ready for the refreshment in the way of appointments to office. But Jim Farley, in the role of cook, seems in no hurry. N The particular office which is causing restlessness is that of district attorney. George Neuner's term has expired. carl Kj. Donaugn, state democratic chairman, has designated himself for the appointment, with approval of Congressman-National Committeeman Walter Pierce. Donaugh has gone to 'Washington to peddle his wares, ,and together he and Pierce call on Farley to see if the tea isn't ready to serve. They went with brave demands. The delay should end, and the appointment be made pronto. But when they reach' the Farley offices they are told to sit down while Farley is "in conference." . Pierce and Donaugh sit and sit. Though they grow fid gety and nervous, they are helpless. Farley can't be hur ried. It's slow fire with him, and the tea isn't ready to serve. Finally Pierce puts on his ten gallon hat and strides away, leaving Donaugh to get chillblains in his heels with protracted waiting. On the home reservation .the tomahawking continues.

Diary of a teaman who ' V ' was with Capt. Wilkes In Oregon Country, 1341: . v (Continuing; from yesterday:) Capt. Wilkes was commissioned commodore July 16th, 18(2. and was placed in command of the flotilla which shelled City Point. Virginia, and later of a squadron sent to the West Indies to protect American commerce in those wa ters. w He was commissioned rear ad miral on the retired list July 25, 1866. His services as an explor er were recognized by the Royal Geographical Society by the pre sentation of a gold medal, snow ing that the English people did not at that time hold malice against him, either on account of his operations in the old Oregon country or because of th slidell and Mason affair, or what was al so known as the "Trent affair." He died In Washington, D. C, Feb. I. 187T, aged about 79. hav ing been born in New Tork April 3, 1798. He entered the navy as a midshipman in 1818, and was commissioned a lieutenant April 28, 1826. That was his title when In the Oregon country, though generally known as cap tain, acting aa such on his flag ship, or commodore, being In com mand of the fleet of the exploring expedition. Resamiifg, from the text of the Joseph. O. Clark book: "Situated about a half mile from the sound is a trading post (Nlsqually), be longtng'to the Hudson's Bay com pany, composed of upright posts eight, or 10 feet high, secured with trunnels at top and bottom. At the corner is a sentry box or house, large enough to hold II or 20 persons, perforated with holes large enough to admit the mussle of a musket. U S "Within this stockade are a number of wooden houses, serv ing aa dwellings, store houses, magazines and workshops, and al so one or two small buildings oc cupied by the laborers or servants. . . . The Hudson's Bay company has here about 1000 sheep; 600 or 800 cattle. . . . The 17th.of July, having completed our sur vey of Puget sound, and its mul tifarious arms and bays, and com pleted the series of observations, we . . . left our anchorage off Nlsqually and commenced beat ing down the bay for Columbia river. (What was left of the Wil kes buildings at Nlsqually was razed, a number of years ago, by a railroad surveying party. But the site is marked.) "A surveying party was sent overland to meet us at the mouth of the (Columbia) river. ... At 2 p. m. of the 22nd we came to anchor at Point Dungeness. . . . Three boats were got ready and sent on surveying duty for three days. Here we met the brig Por poise. She had been engaged in surveying this part of the sound. and Hood a canal, tor two months. . . . At this anchorage our anchor was scarcely gone before we were literally surrounded with canoes, bringing salmon, codfish and ven ison to sell. ... On Point Dunge ness is one of the most remark able settlements of Indians seen any where on the sound. "e S "They have a stockade of con siderable size, into which they retreat-when driven to extremities in time of war; . . . necessary rrom tne irequency of their wars: and since most of them have ob tained guns and amunition they are very destructive to each bel ligerent party. Their prisoners taken In war they do not murder as many savages do, but keep them as slaves, and make them perform all the more laborious work. "At each corner of this stock ade Is erected a bust of one of their most distinguished chiefs, roughly carved and constructed of wood; these are venerated and worshipped by the Indians. In this place they also deooslted their dead, the chiefs always hav ing a separate place allotted to them. Their bourl, or spirit house, Is also here. S "We remained at this anchor age six days, during which time we were plentifully supplied with salmon, venison, etc., by the In dians. On the 28th of July we got under way and proceeded down the straits of Juan de Fuca, bound lor the Colombia river. On the 2nd of August we were oft Cape Flattery. After beating with light and head winds for four days, we succeeded la reach ing the outer extremity of the straits, opening into the north. Pa cific, and were then nearly oppo site . Clausette harbor, so named after a tribe of Indians inhabiting this part of the coast. Is "At i o'clock came a canoe oft to Dallas with Mr. and Mrs. How ard Coy. Mrs. James Coy, mother ot the boy, and Claude Smith returned with them. Leland is in the Dallas hospital. CLUB SEASON ENDS CLEAR LAKE. May 26 The women's clnb held lta last meet ing until fall this week with Mrs. Dutoit. Plans for the annual pic nic will be made later.' HENDRICKS - to us, cringing fish, etc, tor trade. In the party was a chief of aome distinction, who stood erect in the canoe, not donbt to reader himself more eonspleuona. When he came alongside, Capt. Wilkes asked him if he wished to come on board, to which he re plied in broken English in the af firmative; and accordingly he was permitted to come on board. 'Af terwards several others were per mitted to come on board. One or two of them spoke a little Eng lish; the chief in particular spoke many words Quite distinctly. The chief informed Capt. Wilkes that opposite to us there was a good harbor, and invited him to go In and anchor. s ' "The stature of these people, like most on this coast, la much below general standard. The height ot an old man who came on board, and who was rather bent with age, was about five feet. Their faces are flat and broad, bat quite plamp in the young Indians; their skin is smooth complexion not very dark, except in aome who were smeared with charcoal; their teeth were very white, nose flat and broad, hair blaek, straight and glossy, and their hands and feet extremely, diminutive. Their adult f emalee are quite aa tall aa the men, being from four feet 11 inehea to five feet. ... Some of the younger females seem to hare much bashfulness and timidity, and differ very materially from the women in the South 8ea Is lands, in not being tattooed. "The chief was very decently the only one In the party who the only one in the party waa was. ... He waa quite loquacious, and spoke to the captain of many Interesting subjects relative to the different tribes of Indians with which he waa acquainted. W "At 3 o'clock we came to an chor in Clausette harbor the first ship, no doubt, that ever an chored here.. It has never been properly surveyed, and has been but little known, even to the fur traders, probably on account ot the savage disposition of the na tives, with whom they trade very cautiously; they never trust more tfan a half dozen on their decks at a time." - (Continued tomorrow.)

New Tork City FREQUENTLY I am asked about the value of certain foods as blooc builders. If one Is run down or giv ing other evidence ot anemia. It h Important to choose wisely la the eating. With a fickle and unresponsive appetite, the quantity of food taken Is small. This makes It mportant to take exactly the right things: One ot the great authorities said this: "Food Is the most Im portant thing In blood regenera tion. A properly Or.

Joan Hastings, seventeen, and beautiful, lives a secluded life with her two old maiden aunts in a run down house. She falls in love with Bill Martin, a garage worker. Meanwhile, the aunts plan to send Joea away to schooL Bill telle the girl that he's very poor and it may be years before he can think ot marrying; but aha vows she will wait for him. Joan is overjoyed when news arrives that she is to go away to school, and writes a note to Bill asking him to' meet her. Through a series of 'unfore seen circumstances she is unable to keep the appointment. Later Bill sees Joan standing outside a store, but before she can tell him the news. Aunt Ewie appears and Bin makes a hasty retreat. As Joan passee Bill, he whispera 'To nightIll be at the hedge." NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. CHAPTER VIII. 'The tall French windows stock under Joan's trembling fingers. The long red velveteen curtains kept getting' in her way. She pushed them furiously back, and with a faint; rusty squeak the latch gave. The sweet night air came in with a rush. All her nervousness was gone now. She was going to Bin, and he loved her. With a Lttle sigh of per fect happiness she stepped down in to the garden, ran lightly and swiftly toward the south hedge. Bifil- she whispered. Tnt here where are you? He stepped out of the darkness. 1 T was afraid you wouldn't he cried. "Oh. Johnnie if yon hadn't" They clone to each other aOently. The wind made little rustling sound in the leaves, some birds stirred aleepily in the trees. He kissed her soft hair shining palely in the moonlight, the little hollow in her neck, her soft red month, I love you dont yon know I love yon, Johnnie? I couldnl live without you now. When I thought you werenl-coming this-afternoon Oh, I cant tell yon how I felt I guess you wouldn't believe me" "111 always believe you. and IH always love you, too. Bill,'' she said gravely. A little pucker of pain gathered between her brows. How could she leave him. even for a little while? How could she have been glad, even for a minute, to think of going away? She shivered in his arms. "Joan I What a wrong something's wrong I can feel it" She held his big, freckled hand soothingly against her cheek. "No no" How could she tell him? How should she begin? And all of a sudden she burst out breathlessly "I'm going away day after tomor row! To Philadelphia to boarding school 1" There it waa out. His face was in shadow, she couldn't see it. He didnt answer. "Don't you think it's all right?" she whispered anxiously. "I thought you'd be going away soon anyway, and I couldn't stand it here without you ... so when Aunt Ewie told me I could go . . . Bill . . . what are yon thinking?" She was crying a little now, the tears were splashing miserably down her cheeks. A century passed. The trees cast ominous shadows on the grass. Long, reaching shadows. Like skinny hands. Once he kissed her soft hair. Once his arms tightened trembling ly about her, as if he would never let her go. And still she waited, despairingly, for what he had to say. "I waa thinking," she said after a long time, "that maybe you could come East, too. . Yon have to go somewhere and we could see each other" He laughed shortly. "It's no use, Joan. Let's not pretend. It's all right I dont blame you. I I might have known I'd lose you. Well, It'a all right, I guess. It would be years before I'd be any good maybe never " He gulped brushed his sleeve furiously across his eyes. Tvebeen an awful fool!

She eouldnt make hint understand . . . he waa -moving away ... another minute and he'd be gone ... her love ... gone . . . for always.

The scent of the roses lay over them like n presence. The moon was lost behind the eucalyptus trees. The stars paled, and there came the small chill breeze that cornea be fore the dawn. But Joan waa lost to time, lost to all the world, but Bin. e "Bffl didnt come home an night!" Eunice, dangling the colicky baby en her hip, stirred the bubbling stew with her free hand, and glared at her mother aa if it were her fault. Mrs. Martin, with one plump white-stockinged leg propped np on a chair, moved uneasily rn her pat ent rocker. "Hell turn up," aha said. "He always does. An bring home his wagea too. BUl'a a good boy. He never caused me one mite of worry all his whole life, an' I'm not startin' in now." - Eunice brushed her stringy hair out of her eyes with an angry ges ture.

Mild and cheerful and clean those were her prevailing charac teristics; and mild and cheerful and clean she waa now, in the face of Eunice's peppery temper, her own sprained ankle, and the steamy dis order of the small cluttered kitchen. "He was no comfort to mo last night I " Eunice returned tartly. "I went stumbling down that dark road looking for him wasted an hour pretty near and he isnt home yet." "HeU be along for lunch. Be sides, dearie, I don't think it hurt Milt any to drive that truck last night." "With a Jumping, throbbing toothache!" The younger woman ut the whimpering baby on the cor with a soft thud of sodden garments, and began to dish up the stew viciously. "No. It was all imagination because it was my hus band. If it waa BUI it would have been different." "Now Eunice, you know that ain't fair. I dont mean Milt was pre tending. I'm iust saying that long as it was his job and he just got it after bein' out of work so long and all, that it seemed like he should have been willin" to go, even if he did have a toothache, instead of wanting his brother-in-law to go the first thing." "Oh, Ma! Youll drive me crazy! Cant you see my head is bursting! Alwaya picking a fight! Now Junior fa crying! Heavens, what a house" An inner door opened, and Milt shuffled into the kitchen. He sat down at the table, with his head on his hands. "I didn't sleep a wink," he said in the querulously patient voice of the ehronie sufferer.
