"Politics I sometimes think Is pure
hypocrisy and sometimes something
worse. A ia gets Disguised with the
trickery and dishonesty and corrup-

Then" drawled Langdon. t thing
to do is to jump In n stop It'll l
read In the newspapers a great deal
about corruption. The gentlemen In

honor Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Moseley,

"But the days do get short In No

they?" laughed Haines, rising. I'm
afraid I've taken too much of your
time, aud l seem to have talked a lot"
Langdon was amused.
Does look like I'd been interviewing
you. l reckon each one of us has got
q pretty good notion of what b other

daughter, with a smile. "Wha do you

Smiling her approval, the young girl
squeezed her fathers hand in her en-

Asked about new developments in the
committee on naval affairs, the ready
answer was: Better see Senator
Langdon. He knows all about the
naval base; a the matter in full
charge. / really know little about It,
So by hiding behind the unsuspect-

As he stood before his two
found friends-for such Haines o
considered the Mississipian and his
daughter-he could not suppress feel
ings of surprise tinged with uncertain
ty. He had, like other newspaper men,
received offers of employment from
politicians who desired to increase
their influence with h press. Some
times the salary offered had been large,
the work SO light that the reporter
could earn the money and yet retain
hdS newspaper position. a ~scantily dis
gulsed species of bribery, which had
wrecked the careers of several promis-
ing young reporters well known to
Haines. young men who had been thus
led into selling their columns by un
wcrupulous machine dictators.
Haines knew that the Mississippian
had no Interior purpose to serve in his
offer, yet he must have time to think
over the proposal.
II thank you, senator" he finally
said. 81 appreciate the opportunity.
coming from you, but I've never
thought OF giving up he newspaper
profession. It's a fascinating career,
One that am too fond of to leave"
Langdon started to reply, when a de
sightfully modulated southern voice in
terrupted:
"Father, I've been out with Mrs.
