Dinner must wait while, Simpson,, said Dick.
" And when this lady luggage arrives, send it round

With that he crossed the hall with Miss Livingstone,
and the next moment the pair were on their way to
the hotel.
As they entered. Dick nodded pleasantly to the
manager who to his surprise, gave look of blank
asonishment at his fair companion and, with face
full of perpexity and concern, led the way mysteri-

to Dick that he wished to him aside for moment.

"Wen, what she said seemed straight enough. She

Indications are that the sundry civil
appropriation bill as reported from
the house committee will not carry an
appropriation for the further main
tenance of the Platt National Park at
Sulphur. This it is thought will oper-
ate to turn over the park to the
state, unless the house and senate re-
fuse to follow the lead of Chairman
Tawney's committee. The prospec-
tive action of the committee win be
taken over the protest of the Okla
homa congressional delegation.
There is a law on the statute books
which authorizes the transfer. If the
Tawney scheme carrier il remains to
be seen what the state will do in the
premises. No money is available to
continue the park after July first, and
unless the state should come to the
rescue it is feared that the park will
be closed temporarily at least.

There is no question that American
democracy is yeering away. from rep
resentative government toward a
form of democracy in which execu-
tives and the people themselves will
make laws. And. notwithstanding all
the perils that come from centraliza-
tion of power. which is the ultimate
eject of the abandonment Of repre-
sentative government for so-called di-
rect action, so long as legislative
bodies continue to be proved unrelja-
Bile, and strong-willed and honest exc
cutives offer themselves to the peo-
pie, so long will this trend continue.
Unless the people discover and utilize
ways OF selecting better representa-.
tive lawmakers, or legislators prove
themselves more trustworthy, the
transfer of power and prestige from
the legislature to the executive will
continge, until there is in effect a king
ruling by popular consent, uncrowned,
but despot to the extent that he can
play on the popular mind, its passions
or prejudices.

himself as unqualified opposed to any

which few meritorious cases could
be taken care of by statute. He
would not commit himself to action
for the final disposition of the affairs
Of the Five Civilized Tribes at this
time
The president brought up the mat

approval. and that the burden of proof

snort. that If it could not be shown
that a service equal to three million
dollars could be rendered the Indians
then he would refuse to approve the
contracts. The president seemed to

contracts and when his inquiry wheth-
