PARTISANSHIP ABOVE PATRIOTISM Proijress of the Gorman drive is awakening the country to the failure ft the -democratic party to'cepe with national crisis. The democratic party i nwonvb!e for the three wasted years during which the country slept in inoral lethargy and physical unpreparedncss. Pacifist administration of the. rrk-ukinjr departments of our government, and failure to grasp the scri eiuinriu of the situaticn in time to make war with sufficient vigor during the ifirst year we were in it, are both chargeable to the democratic parity. Orem Voter. . The biggest German drive in this country is being made by men like the editor of the Voter whose patriotism subservient to their partisanship. They are for the republican party first and aH the time and for the gov ernment only when it is administered by republicans. The editor of the Voter knows, if he knows anything at all, that it is the fault of no political party that this country was not prepared for war. Our people are not a war like people and the republican party, in power three- Xourths of the time since the civil war begun inl860, built up neither army nor navy. The democratic party did no )jette,r in its short periods of power except that Secretary Win." C. Whitnev. under President Cleveland, laid the real foundation for our present effective ocean fight 5ntr machine, brought to perfection by Secretary Daniels upon whom the editor of the Voter and others of his ilk heaped all manner of ridicule and abuse, misrepresenting him and seeking to discredit his work, in the same man ner they are seeking to undermine President Wilson at the present time. . . Two years before war with Germany was declared, President Wilson toured the country as far west as Kansas City speaking on the necessity of "Prepardness for War." What did the Voter and other republican papers say then? that the president was playing politics of course, and urged the people to pay no attention to his warnings and no attention was paid to it! The editor of the Voter knows the facts in the case but he prefers to play party politics instead of playing his part as a real American citizen. And he is helping to smash the republican party to smithereens because the people are back of the government in this as every other great crisis and the objectors ami critics will be swept I i By JANE PHELPS That was good advice minority leader Mann gave his colleagues yesterday when leaving for home on account ' n,. wA ' trift n,ornJ of his health.

He added: "The American people do not need to be mis informed by over-optimism to keep up the determination win the war." He might have added that they do not need to have the facts of losses or defeat kept from them to keep them from weakening in their determination to carry the war to a successful conclusion. si V.t' '"WiJHi!irii IS SjSsS 14 A LONQ WAIT. was was1 CHAPTER LXXIV.

I settled for the wooden leg I bought nine years ago last May, and Jones and Smith and Brown and Gregg paid up for groceries and hay. I, long had shunned the busy streets, and through the alleys took my way, consorting with a lot of beats who couldn't or who wouldn't pay.- Alas, I lacked the nerve to face the men I owed for fountain pens, for calico and Irish lace, for poodles and for setting hens. It filled me with a dread intense to see the tailor just ahead; and I would hide behind a fence on hearing Jinks the butcher's tread.

General Maurice will probably be court-martialed and made to answer for his unwarranted attack on the Hntish war adtninsirtation. Which only indicates that if we had come of the European efficiency that so many mal contents professes to believe they want over here, Roose velt, Chamberlain, arid a lot of irresponsible senators, congressmen, politicians and editors, would be talking through prison bars now if they did any talking at all. Most of them are simply abusing the American right of free speech at a time in the nation's history when talk is pure evil and deeds are wanted. If they were on the kaiser's propaganda payroll they could do him no better pervice than they are rendering now, presumably without being paid for it. ' The kaiser in commenting on the surrender of Rumania 23 disposed to give God some of th credit, but it is plain lie places the results at the door of the Hohenzollern palace in the main, and his soldiers and his "brave com manders" come next to him in the way of credits. He thus places God in the light of what a politician or a horseman would call "a bad third." War makes the sentimental give place to the practical, and the stories of the rains throughout the Northwest yesterday did not speak of them a "raining violets," but mentioned the fact that the crops were benefitted at least ten million dollars. It wasn't raining violets but pouring down a shower of golden wheit. The weather man is doing his bit toward winning the war. A headline in the Telegram reads: "Tied to a tree and ordered to leave."

I had not realized how lote it was until, hearing him come in, I glanc ed at the clock. I .'nought I had forbidden you to sit up foe me, he said m a harsh voice. "I didn't know it was so late; my story was interesting. I had no inten tion of sitting up for you," 1 explained trying to stave off a scolding. "Well, go to bed at once. An'd don't k-t me find yon up at -.this hour again, when I am obliged to be out." "OBLIGED to be out!" I thought, indignantly, as the clock struck two. I knew onlv too well that he had remain ed out because he WISHED to. It Is Terrible to Be Ordered The next morning before he left for the office, George said: "I shall be at the studio, today, I want you to remember that I expect to see that you sit properly," then, af ter a moment. "And I want you to uii derstaud once for all, Helen, that I will not bo lannoyed by finding you sitting up when I come in. I am my own master, I have a perfect right to remain out, 01 come in. Next time I am detained, I want to find you in bed and asleep when I come in. Understand me, I will be obeyed in this." After he lef: I ran to my room and fairly threw myself across the unmado bed. The windows wero open and the cool morning air fanned my hot cheeks. It was drendful to be ordered, as I was! I would not endure it, I .declared over and over, knowing all that timo that I would that nothing I could do would alter George's disposition, or make me .brave enough 'o stand up against mm. let, as always, after such a feeling of embarrassment, there came that determination to SHOW him, some time, that I was his equal in poise in everything that he seemed to think worth while; and '..hat he could not or der me, no belittle me in any way, I was no longer a child, to be told when 1 should go to bed. I would NOT obey him in that, but I would not remain up quite so late, again. Then I remembered that if I did not do as he bade me, he would find means to compel me. Oh, yes. I WOULD go to bed when he was out. and I- would PRETEND to be asleep. Anything, even deceit, to make him caie for me. Yet even as I decided to do as he had ordered, I wondered if I were not help ing to destroy my chance for happiness. If be shouldn't care for me in the end after I had made myself over to please him, would I not have destroyed all personality I now possessed and become j that uninteresting creature a woman! who has no mind, save as it is mirrored : in her husband si The Society Woman's Idea. I4 seemed to me that tho women George knew and so admired had one idea, and only one. That was to be out all the time, to be seen, to be dressed in the height of fashion, and to bo sought after by all the men and envied by all the women. They belonged not to themselves, not to ,heir husbands (those who had husbands), but to society to men as a whole and they were never happy unless in the public eye, doing what Evelyn called "stunts" to attract attention. They seemed so callous, mos : of them Hard, as nails, I thought. They were around. They appeored to think that they were performing their entire duty when they were perfect hostesses of in teresting guests. Very likely I was not fair to them.
