With one army Finn-ished K r:iniinc the League ' "The present issue is the League of Nations. It finally culminates now in solemn referendum to the people. r. Cox says if he is successful, he will go in. Mr Harding says he will stay out. Mr. Harding, happily for himself and for i America, has scrapped the League." . So declares Senator Hiram Johnson, ana in piuoi ui republican candidate's wrecking ability, quotes Harding as declaring that the "criminal League of Nations, mistaken y conceived and unreasonably insisted upon, has undoubtedly passed beyond the possibility of revocation." "The destruction of the League through the republican party "arouses not only our greatest enthusiasm, but our loftiest patriotism" declares Johnson. And so we see the Portland Oregonian and the Salem Statesman and all the other political organs who have championed the cause of the League of Nations, place partisanship above principle and enthusiastically help to scrap the League because the sena torial oligarchy maneuvered the party into that position and named one of its members as chief executioner. Is it any wonder the people lose faith in partisan news papers, when they hasten to stultify themselves at the behest of party bosses and repudiate at election times principles and purposes they have earnestly championed between elections and blindly follow the label, regardless of what it hides and meekly swallow the party prescription, regardless of the poison contained. . . Does any one for a moment think that had this identical League of Nations been brought back by a Republican presi dent it would not have been enthusiastically ratified? Does any one suppose that had the Republican platform endorsed the League instead of straddling it, that the republicans would not be its strongest advocate? If the convention had named Taft, would not the republicans be solid for the LeajuUhnson has been consistent and logical in his opposition to the-League, Harding has veered with every wind of politi- :al expediency.

But if you wake tomorrow and find the boom is dead, will you-be forced to borrow before the week is sped?

How many have you car ried to some safe banker's vault, while foolish spendthrifts tarried with grape juice and near malt? It is a time en chanted, when roubles grow like weeds; how many have you planted, how many helpful seeds ? Harding on Taxation. In the existing fiscal condition of the government, no question is of greater importance than that of the tax poli cies to be adopted. The public debt is nearly twenty-five billions. Interest and sinking-fund charges alone call for more than a billion dollars a year. A floating debt in ex cess of two and a half billions remains to be founded or other wise cleared up. For the fiscal year 1920-21 provision must be made to meet claims of at least eight billions. The feder al government by one means or another is going to take near ly $250 from every family in the United States during the coming year. It is a matter of the utmost importance to all the people that tax policies be wisely framed. What does Harding's record indicate in this respect? Whom would be taxed, and how? Speaking on February 26, 1917, Harding said: I for one am speaking in opposition to the pending revenue bill because of the two hundred and twenty-six millions of unfair, unjust, unreasonable and uncalled-for class tax upon the great corporations of the land (C. R., 4277). Addressing himself specifically to the proposal for a tax of 8 per cent on profits in excess of 8 per cent on capital stock, the Ohio senator went on : I want to put into the Record, Mr first place is not necessary; that it is sectional in character; it is distinctly cl but well inclined to discourage succos. it ia utto.-lv Imnracticable to collect it 'C' During the last three years we have actually collected bil lions in excess profits taxes.

It was winter. And for several days a strong south wind had swept up Pleasant Valley. That as Solomon Owl knew very well that meant a thaw was coming. He was not sorry, because the weather had been bitterly cold. Well, the thaw came. And the weather grew so warm that Solo mon Owl could stay out all night without once feeling cliilled. He found the change so agreeable that he stayed further from home i gut he was a slow walker than was his custom, indeed, he vas far away on the other side of Blue Mountain at midnight, when t began to rain.

And the only com forting thought that entered his head was that on so stormy a night Tommy Fox and Fatty Coon would be snug and warm in their beds. They wouldn't go out In such weather. And Solomon Owl wished that ,he, too, had stayed at home that night. From midnight until almost dawn Solomon Owl sat there. Now and then he tried to fly. But It was no use. He could scarcely raise himself off the ground. At last he decided he would have to walk home. Fortunately, a hard crust covered the soft snow. So Solomon started off on his long journey.

Harding voted nay (C. R., 4488). On the same day Senator LaFollette proposed eleven amendments to the measure. Harding joined with practi cally all the other republicans in supporting nine of them, but followed Lodge and Smoot in voting against the two pro viding for publicity of income returns (C. R , 4513-451.). He also opposed the Lodge amendment exempting from corporation income tax, income derived from agriculture or from personal or professional service (C. R, 4518) and voted ZT&S a ms- amo-rlment exempting the income of farming and professional corporations from such tax (C. R., 4521) Continued Wednesday. Love and Married Life By the Noted Author Idah MctJlono Gibson Alice stood for a moment beside the deck chair on which my baby was lying asleep, and for the first time I realized how great had been her desire and how unsatisfied her longing for a child.

Some way, although Alice had always told me that she had never known the creat passion for Tom that we are lantfht is necessnry to a successful 1 1 wish I ki 1 I knew that of all my when we arrive into port tho marrian of Alice and m. 1 want to watch his face Tom Staunton was the most suc-iwv,erl 1 tell him.

And now this mar riage was going to be crowned with a child. And looking at it, each of these dear friends of mine will come to realize that if there are such thines as matches that are made in heaven, the match, of Alice and Tom Staunton is one of them." Almost as though I had spoken aloud.

It's a wonderful thought, Isn't it, Katherine, to think that because two people learned and lived, their children's children's children's children shall go singing dancing, and mayhap, stumbling down the paths of time. Oh, as imagination to run riot, and I saw my baby a girl, a maid and a matron. And I even went so far as figuratively to dangle grand children on my knees. And then I shook myself out of the dreams that the moonlight seemed to make almost real. I heard Alice's light step coming down the deck, md when she got very close to me she said; "Look, Katherine, do you not see the lights are growing brighter, al ready you can smell the land, and am very glad, Katherine. WJien we sail into port tomorrow, let's go from there back home." (To Be Continued.) refusing to The rain was still beating down steadily.

With good grace, little hesita tion and no confusion, they crossed their ballots for the first time at the primaries in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. They were distinctly feminine about it, however. There were wo men who came to the polling booths with their baby carriages; there were women who forgot their umbrellas and had to go back to the marking places for them; there were women who used shop ping tactics; there were women who wanted their ballots back af ter they had been put in the box because they changed their minds; there were women who demanded a new ballot because they hadn't been neat with the first; there were women who wanted to "talk it over," and there were women all aflutter.

A neighbor, who discovered the blaze, called the fir eladdies. The fire was soon put out. Then the firemen started an investigation to learn what caused the fire. When the firemen left, the police ar rived. Mrs. Bolagan was arrested and fined $200 and costs.

Solomon had grown heavy all at once and goodness knows it was not because he had overeate,:, for food was scarce at that season of the year. Moreover, Solomon's wings were strangely stiff. When he moved them they crackled. "It must be my joints," he said to himself. "I'm afraid this wet. ting has given me rheumatism." So he started home at once though it was only midnight. But the further he went, the worse he felt and the harder it was to fly. "I'll have to rest a while," he said to himself at last. So he alighted on a limb; for he was more tired than he had ever been ln all his life. But he soon felt so much better that he was ready to start on again. And then, to his dismay, Solomon Owl found that he could hardly stir. The moment he left his perch he floundered down up on the ground. And though he tried his hardest, he couldn't reach the tree again. The rain was still beating down steadily. And Solomon began to think it a bad night to be out. What was worse, the weather was fast turning cold. "I'm afraid I'll have to stay in bed a week after this," he groaned. "If I sit here long, as wet as I am, while the thaw turns Into a freeze, I shall certainly be ill." Now, if it hadn't been for the rain, Solomon Owl would have had no trouble at all. Or if it hadn't been for the freezing cold he would have been in no difficulty. Though he didn't know it, his trouble was simply this: The rain froze upon him as fast as it fell, covering him with a coating of ice. It was no wonder that he felt strangely Albany, N. Y., Sept. 21.
