A SERIOUS CHARGE

Against Hon. L. c. Dulaney. a gen
tleinan distinguished as a senator OF the
State Of Mississippi there is charge
Of bribery, which on having been inves-
tigated BY the grand jury, has culminat
ed in an indictment which may be dis
proved, but which is nevertheless un-
pleasant, to say the least.
Il would seem that this development
-. - rOused the most intense OF feeling
in Jackson, Miss, the capital of the
State, where the Legislature is in ses-
sion and that the friends of Senator
Dulaney are superheated with resent
inent. Incidentally the Caucasian would
suggest that this is the time for keep
ing cool and Ia serene temper.
II the charges are urfounded or can
not be sustained, Senator Dulaney will
be fully and honofably vindicated.
However, ii such turnioils, which are
unfortunately too frequent and not
ereditable and to which Mississippi is
no exception, the intense eagerness, the
sometimes reckless ambition to reach
power and Office is so overwhelming
that men become deaf to reason and go
to the fullest limits to defeat an oppo
nent.
As was to have been expected, Sen
ator Percy has disclaimed all connec-
ton with this alleged attempt at brib-
cry which he construes as rejecting on
his honor, but as he has not been con-
nscted with the charge, as an impartial
criterion. we do not believe that he
should take issue in the case as it is
being iudicially investigated.
Il will be time enough for him to de-
ferd himself should he be implicated in
this otfense.

We no longer groan and heap ashes
upon our heads when the flames Of
Tophet are mentioned, for even the
preachers have begun to tell us that
God is radium or ether or some scien-

wicked ones may expect is chemical

esis, but there fingers yet some Of the
old, goodly terror Of orthodoxy.
There are but two subjects upon
which one may discourse with free
Imagination and without the POSSIBLE

Somebody kh6cI,cd ut the door. Dull
Gle opened 1t. Tie landlady stood
there with spurious smile. smiling
for cooking by stolen gas.
"A gentleman's downstairs to see
you," she said. Maine is Mr.. Wig
gins"
By such epithet was Piggy known
TO unfortunate ones who had to take
him seriously.
Duleie turned to the dresser to get
her handkerchief, and then she STOP
ped still and bit her underlip hard
While looking In her mirror she had
seen fairyland and herself a princess
Just awakening from a long slumber.
She had forgotten one that was watch
Ing her with sad, beautiful, stern eyes
1.-the only one there was to approve or
condemn what she did.
Straight and slender and tall. with
q look of sorrowful reproach on his
handsome, melancholy face, General
Kitchener fixed his wonderful eyes on
her out of his gilt photograph frame
on the dresser
Dulcie turned like an automatic doll
to the landlady.
TELL him can't co." she said duly.
tell him I'm sick or something. Tell
him I'm not going out"
After the door was closed and locked
Dulefe fell upon her bed, crushing her
black tip, and cried for ten minutes.
General Kitchener was her only friend.
He was Dulcie's ideal of q gallant
knight. He looked as If he might have
secret sorrow, and his wonderful
mustache was dream, and she was
little afraid of that stern yet tender
look In his eyes. She used to have
little fancies that he would call ut the
house some time and ask for her with
his sword clanking against his high
boots.
Once when boy was rafting piece
OF chaip against lamppost she had
opened the window and looked out.
But there was no use She knew that
General Kitchener was away over In
japan leading his army against the
savage Turks and he would never
step out of his gilt frame for her.
Yet one look from him had van
quished Piggy that night--yes, for that
night.
When her cry was over Dulcie got
up and took off her best dress and
put on her old blue kimono. She want
ed no dinner. She sang two verses of
Sammy" Then she became intense
~ interested in a little red speck on
the side of her nose. And after that
was attended to she drew up a chair
to the rickety table and told her for
tune with an old deck of cards.
1.-The horrid, impudent thingl' she
said aloud "And | never gave him
word or look TO make him think
itp'
At 8 o'clock Dulcie took a tin box
of crackers and q little pot of rasp-
berry jam out of her trunk and had a
feast
She offered General Kitchener some
jam on cracker, but he looked at her
only as the sphinx would have looked
at butterfly-if there are butterflies
in the desert.
Don't eat it If you don't want to-
said Dulcie. "And don't put on so
many airs and scold SO with your
eyes. wonder If you'd be SO superior
and snippy Il you had to live on SO
a week r.
1t was not good sign for Dulcie
to be rude to General Kitchener. Aud
then she turned Benventto Cellin1 face
downward with. a severe gesture. But
that was not inexcusable, for she had
always thought he was Henry WILL,
and she did not approve of him.
At half past o Dulcie took a last
look at the pictures on the dresser,
turned out the light and skipped to

THE JUNIORS

The Juniors of the Linden High
Who number just eleven,
Have ever been a loyal band
Since they entered In '07.
For every member does a part
Under their blue and gold,
And in the contests of the school
Their share of hOnors hold.
Amidst tie strife of the football
grounds,
Where Lynden gained great fame,
A Junior lad by his skillful play
Made for himself name.
So, likewise for the diamond
This class player gave,
| Who always plays on "first-base"
Now we the pennant wave.
Our class was represented in
The girls team of basketball.
These for two whole years have held
The championship of all.
They have entered every battle
With their war-cry l.. H. s.
\nn as trophies of their victories,
| Two banners now possess.
But you must know, the Junior stunts
Do not end with athletics,
fey've tried their arts at journalism
And dabbled in poetics.
Then I'm sure you all remember
Il W high excitement ran,
When our High School team debated
On 'Des Moines Commission Plan"
They were royalty supported,
Our debaters nothing feared
For with crys of "Skookum Wa Wa"
They were ever onward cheered.
Anacortes was our rival,
And the victory was hers
But it was hard-fought struggle
AND our team great praise deserves.
Two members Of our Junior class.
| We in actors role did see.
AS Wilhelm and as Jacob
In the German Comedy.
Then last month we had occasion
To be proud of a classmate.
When TO the state oratorical contest
She was chosen alternate.
But the term is almost ended;
Soon We'll Juniors be no moro
And for our sweet girl graduates,
Happy high-schcol days are DER
Well remember our first Seniors
May their future be all bright.
md, 'Mehr LIGHT" their choe.n -
Ever guide them as tonight.
