The Old Guard Dying
The Old Guard dies, but never surrenders, and the Old
Guard ia dying off pretty rapidly, in fact just as rapidly as
the primaries are being held. Indiana, Pennsylvania, Iowa,
North Dakota, Kansas, all record the passing of the stand-j
patter, all mark the dissatisfaction of the people with the
conduct of the government, and j et the Old Guard pays not
the slighest heed, and speeds headlong to political annihila
tion. Everyone except the reactionary bourbons in control of
congress sees the handwriting on the wall, senses the popu
lar dissatisfaction with the proposed tariff, which appar
ently has no defenders outside of congress besides its bene
ficiaries, yet there is not the slightest break in the ranks
of those atempting to force it over.
History repeats itself. The McKinley high tariff de
feated the republicans in 1892; the Payne-Aldrich high
tariff defeated them in 1912, and the unpopularity of 'this
highest and worst and most inexcusable of all the tariffs,
the Fordney-McCumber tariff, will defeat the republican
party in 1924, yet the Old Guard will go down to defeat
sooner than surrender to reason, for campaign promises
must be made good at the public expense even though it
means political suicide.
It, seems that framing of the tariff schedules has been
turned . over to about a dozen men, some of them captains
of Industry and some of them United States senators or re
presentatives. Senator Gooding of Idaho has charge of
the wool schedules with the assistance of John P. Wood of
the National Association of Wool Manufacturers; Senator
Frelighuysen of New Jersey, with. Senator Dupont of Dela
ware in the background, of the duties on dyestuf fs ; Senator
Smoot of Utah of the duty on sugar; Representative Lit-
tauer of New York of the tariff on gloves; former Senator
Lippitt of Rhode Island of
Campbell -of New York, chairman of the National Associa
tion of Hat Manufacturers, of the duties on hats; Horace
B. Cheney, chairman of the Silk Association of America,
has written the duties on silk and silk goods, and a group
of United States Steel Corporation officials, the duties on
metals.
So it goes. The public pays

Charges Blow Up
1 That there were hundreds
ot errors In the ballot count fav
orable to Governor Olcott and
detrimental to Hull.
t That hundreds of voters
cast their ballots for Olcott by
reason ot undue and unlawful In
fluence exercised by priests and
officials of the Catholic church
and others opposed to Hall.
For more than eight days the
actual recount has now been In
progress. Approximately 20.000
ballots in 200 representative pre
cincts of the two largest voting
counties In the state bave check
ed without changing the result
of the official canvas mora than
half a dozen votes In favor of
either candidate at any time.
Even the attorneys for the con
testant are freely admitting that
they bave failed completely In
their attempt to reveal errors In
the work of the election officials,
or a conspiracy to favor either
candidate in the count.

out to be no more than heresay

There now remains one loop

It will not aufflce for them to

clared that such a vote is legal,
even though the technical pro
cedure ot such change in regis

Mast Prove Fraud
It will avaU them naught to
establish that a voter cast his
ballot without being registered at

otherwise Qualified voter cannot
be disfranchised by the tact that
he is not registered.
They must prove that contest

What Happened Wlien

"Well, perhaps I am jealous
Kay," confessed Phil "but I'll jus
tell you one thing rgiht now; if
Sheila Elliaton goes back to the
hospital here s where yonr brother
Phil finds something chronic the
matter with, himself; something that
no nurse can adequate!)- care for
except Sheila.
"I shall give her a permanent
position in my sick room no roas
ter how much it costs, then that
meddling doctor can take it out in
worrying about her duty to human
ity if he wants to."
Phil had been pouring out hif
protests at such a great rate that
I had not looked at the message
in my hand. I knew, of course, that
it told him that Susanne Jones way
returning. I glanced at it now. It
was dated from the ship and read:
-L France will dock tomorrow
noon Baddy I am on it and most
anxious to see you. Started home
earlier than I Intended to bnt It was
lonely over there with all my friendt
back home. Expect to see you fran
tically waving as the boat slips in
"STJSANNE.''
"Wellt" the word left my lipi
with rising inflection.
Phil had the grace to blush, but
he stood staunchly by his guns.
"Don't be a goose, Kay. I'm just
what she calls me "her buddy.
Men and women became very 'torn-
rady' during the war, yon know.
There s nothing in it I told you a
when I told vou about Susanne."
"Phil " I asked as solemnly as 1
could, because my lips were smil
ing, "is it possible that you are
arehaie enough to believe that there
is such a thing as platonic love J"
"Of course not, Kay," he grinn
ed, "but there can be sometimes a
wonderful kind of friendship be
tween a man and a woman pro
vided they are both too much en
grossed la some great cause to br
interested in each other."
"Why keop harking back to the
war, Phil it's over years ago."
"Simply because we who were in
it can never think quite the same
of life as we did before, Kay."
''Yes, I know," I answered softly
"it changed all things for mi
when it took Blake away from me.
But you know that you are jus)
beating about the bush. Vou are
trying to find a way to put 8usanne
Jones off for a day or two until yor
have settled matters with Sheila.
I do not blame you for trying to
settle that before there is any in
terruption. However, I think Su
sanne's coming' is rather a good
of exercising his own free will In
the choice of a candidate. Only
one course Is open to them In
proving this the possibility of
getting the individual to take the
stand and swear that be cast his
vote with fraudulent Intent, or
under influences which subordi
nated bis own free will.
Up to Voter Alone
Under any circumstances there
remains one bit of evidence nec
essary to the contestant which no
one has yet suggested a means of
securing the name of the can
didate for which the Individual
voter cast his Ballot. The voters
alone can answer' that question,
and when asked to do so nine cut
of ten of them will probably In
form the lawyers that it is none
of their business for whom they
voted.
The hopelessness of their re
maining task will become clearly
apparent within two or three days
after the taking of testimony has
begun. The first witness will
probably be summoned when the
court reconvenes In Salem Thurs
day morning.
From then on it ts but a mat
ter of days until the recount col
lapses. Court Hay Dismiss
There are those who contend.
ot course, that the proceedings
will continue until the J10.000 or
$60,000 raised among klansmen
and other has been completely
absorbed by the lawyers and oth

But they fail to taka Into consid

lawyers ot costly established le
gal reputations connected with
the Hall forces who cannot af
ford to jeopardise their standings
by remaining connected with a
case which has "fiasco" .written

nothing but your desire for a new

"Stop, Kay! Please don't tell me
:hat again. Don't you snppoae a
man knows when he is in lore with
a woman 1" -
"Xot always my dear brother.
Else there would be no breach of
promise cases in court."
"Don't be sarcastic. I know I
love Sheila."
"Well, I expect that will not keep
you from meeting your Buddy," 1
interrupted.
"Of course not," answered Phi:
in surprise. "I could do nothing eUe
VVhy do you know that Susanne an!
1 were 'Buddies' as you call it "
"So, my dear Phil; it was not
I that called you 'Buddies.' It wa
.Susanne."
"Well, we were intimate friendt
all through the war and she did ni
many a' favor. She's a nice girl and
I think possibly I might have mar
ried her some day if I hadn't met
Sheila."
"I'm going to find her now. Wisli
xe lack, Kay, for I am going n.
try to make her promise that a
least she'll take a little interest in
me.
'tp to date, she has been most
delightfully casual and impersonal,
you know. !
"In other words, Phil, you are
going to do the thing I told yoc
you wanted to do. You are going
to try to get things settled with
Sheila before you meet the boat and
Susanne in the morning."
"Kay, you are incorrigible. I'm
ot going to stay with you another
minute."
Phil stepped forward through the
long French windows onto the ter
race and was gone in search of
Sheila.
The night was glorious; , how I
envied them! I remember when
Blake first told me he loved, me.
Again the old sorrow seemed to en
gulf me. I could not understand
why I should be left alone when
we loved each other so much. Sure
ly there were other war wives who
would 'not have cared as much as
r.
J, hoped that Phil would find his
happiness in Sheila and I said a
little prayer that all would be well
nith them. There seemed so little
happiness at that moment in all
this world with Blake gone from
