DECAUSE his vote was needed by Senator Lodge and - his adherents, the senate refused to probe the charges of corruption in election filed against Truman H. New berry by his opponent for the senatorship, Henry Ford. A federal grand jury has, however, conducted an inves tigation and as a result, returned 134 indictments for cor ruption, fraud and conspiracy, including Newberry among the indicted. Campaign expenditures for candidates for the Unit ed States senates are limited to $7500 in Michigan. The federal statute limits them to $10,000. Yet in defiance of these limitations, Newberry's campaign managers in 1918, filed affidavits of expenditures totalling $176,568 and the grand jury found that the disbursements in New berry's behalf exceeded $500,000. The senate1 seated Newberry and made the excuse that an investigation of the corruption charges would be too costly yet congress has spent millions in other inves tigations of trivial subjects and voted away billions with out stint or economy. The truth of the matter is that Newberry's vote was neededand for this purpose the senate was willing that the laws be violated and a corrup tionist'seated among its members. the time we had reached this point In the conversation, I was too tired and unhappy to press my point. But to got back to the telegram and John. Ayah woman's intuition 1 knew just what Charlie--Ooodwln would say to me If 1 asked him to go with me to send that wire. I knew he would toll me again that he loved me, for no man who cares for a woman could see her pass through what I had been go ing through and be able to keep silent. Under ordinary circumstances 1 should have considered myself a trait or to my husband to let Charlie tell me this, but as It was 1 had a feeling that I should like1 to know just how the "other man" would treat this sit uation, and I said: 'Come on, Charlie, walk down to tho station with me while I send the wire to my husband." (Continued Monday) OUR SLOGAN STORY Did' you know that Salem was the Nut center? It is. Ask old Doe Steincr, world author ity on nuts. He knows.

The indictments may force the senate to act to purge just as good.

Alas, there are no , substitutes for magazines, indeed; I. would not i:ive a dozen hoots for life, v.Mtn naught to read. When magnzine3 are on the stands, appealing to my purse, I paw -them o'er with Idle hands, and sa they're getting worse. But when there lire no magazines my nights are flai and gray; 1 yawn and think of soup tureens until 1 seek the h; the gripping, vital taie th: freeze my blond; and chp. no avail, and life's one ghastly thud. I miss the high, uplifting screed, which tells how one way rise, though down sind out, and gone to sed ,and gain a gorgeous prize. An evening without reading means an evening grim and blue; and so I've missed the magazines -no substitutes would do.

When the president was first stricken, Senator Moses of New Hampshire declared that the President. -'was suf fering from a "blood lesion" of the brain and prophesied that he never would be competent to "attend to business thereafter. Since then we" have been informed by. Dame Humor with her office in the senate cloak-room, that Mr. Wilson had softning of the brain, had lost his mind, and was paralyzed first on the right side, then on the left, then cn both sides. Only a few days ago, the Oregonian had him incompetent again. j bo bitter is partisan enmity, that political opponents are not satisfied with having the president stricken down in the service of his country as .a result of over devotion to work and trying to carry burdens too heavy for any one man, but would kill him off at once. There is no mystery about the president's illness others suffering a nervous break down have suffered as he has, had the same- symptoms, the same slow recovery. Only fme and care can restore his health but we can ex pect a speedy revival of distressing rumors in which the wish is father to the thought. Portland, Or.

I answered Quickly, quite breathless. -T will just telegraph my husband to send me some by wire." And then I stopped, for I realized that I had almost told them that I had lied about the cheek. Poor little 'Inno cent mother said, anxiously; "No. I wouldn't do that, Kathie, you don't want your husbanu to think that you are so careless as to lose his check." Even Mr. Hicks came to, my rescue at this. "Surely it would not be strange if Kathorino lost a check . during . this tragic time. My dear, Mrs. Eurke, you have about n ,-thousand dollars !n the bank and I'll be clad to take check as executor for your husband. I will draw enough to pay your bills." "Then, Kathie, you uieed not tele graph your husband, because I can let you have some money," said my mother, almost happy again. "I will wire him,", I answered de cisively. i..eiiL. "ai just write a check for five hundred dollars and we will pay up all the bills. Your father, Kathie, never liked bills." Mother was all a flutter at the un expected business thrust upon heii. I determined to talk to Charlie about leaving her alone and X had a shrewd Idea that Sarah knew more about the business matters of the household than mother. For I was perfectly aware that father was one of those old fashioned men who imagined he was doing the best possible thing for his wife when he surrounded her with every comfort and kept her shielded from the world. I believe my mother had Been per fectly happy .Her one thought was her husband. She had no other life but his. Would I be happier if I could bring myself to feel that everything John did was right and it was my life to live within the bounds of his de sir? The modern woman cannot do this. Perhaps this is tho reason why divorce is so prevalent. "We break away be cause we know that v.- can sunnort "Write it out, Kate, and I'll send ' ourselves. I know tfiat tomorrow if I it for you," said Charlie. Was It my imagination, or was there a little sneer at the corner of his mouth? I knew that he knew that I had lied. And ho knew that I knew that he knew I had liedt Rut like con ventional human beings, we,stili went on playing the game, and my anger at John made me stick to my first falsehood and vehemently lie all the more to make my fire lie "good." "Oh, John will be so sorry," I said, "(lint he had to rush off in such a hurry that he couldn't cash the check for me while he was here. But I guess it'fc just as well, for you see I might have lost the money instead. I didn't know that I was so careless. Yon can't imagine how many things I have losl since my marriage.'' - Yes?" Charlie said dryly, as ha turned toward the window and care lessly lighted a clgaretto. This time 1 did not mistake the ?neer at the cor ner" of Charlie's mouth and I knew it ihould leave John I could qualify as u gymnasium instructor and sports woman. Just before I left home to come to my father's house I made John very angry one night by insisting that our mothers and grandmothers were not any less unhappy than we daughters of modern days. I said the reason there were more divorces nowadays than there used to be, was not because the modern woman is more restless, and more exlgeant than her mother was, out oecause her mother did not know where to turn to earn her dally bread if she left the household of her husband. John said most peremptorily: "You don't know what you are talking about! Every woman should under tand that there must be n head to. a lu.us hold, even if that household is h business, as you new women are so fond of calling it." It never entered his- mind that the household head might be a woman, P.y 'iho fates favor Salem. Whatever the cause or however U happened. t he nuts are here and we can't get rid of them.
