JouInaIist Jonnh Defends the Faith

Journalist Jonah defends the faith.
a new champion of the direct pri-
mar has risen-the Portland ore
gonian.
After ten years of strenuously bat
tling against popular government,
the Oregonian is now posing as its
staunchest defender.
In the Independent nomination of
Jonathan Bourne, the Oregonian pre-
tends to fear the annihilation of the
Oregon system.
The shameful violation of the cor
rupt practices act to defeat Bourne
arouses not a word of protest from
the Oregonian 1t is openly COM
mended But the idea that an APP
pea from the party faction to the
people of the state should be made
by the victim, is revolutionary, in the
eyes of the reactionary journal
The sole object of the direct pri-
mary is to let the people rule.
When the political party became
the creature of the bosses, who con
trolled it for selfish ends, the direct
primary was devised, to smash the
bosses and give control to the rank
and file.
When by means of law violation,
misrepresentation and corruption,
the control of the party is seized by
faction, the remedy also lies in an
appeal direct to the people.
There is no reason why the repuD-
ilcan party in Oregon, which is pro-
gressive, should be bounl to support
a reactionary-and Selling is a Taft
dpatter-because reactionary.
State party nominations mean less
than ever this year. 1t is the person
ality of the man, his record, his be-
liefs, his ability that count-not the
label that he wears.
Jonathan Bourne has made goot
as progressive as well as senator
La Foleltte gives Bourne highes
praise as a true progressive. Ht
ought to receive the support o. al
La Toilette progressives.
Roosevelt strongly commended
Bourne's course as a progressive. HI
ought to receive the Bull Moose vote
Bourne voted with the senate dem
ocrats on tariff revision and othe
progressive measures. Bourne ant
; Chamberlain voted alike. Bourne
course ought to please democrats.
Because of Bourne's progressive
ness, Taft withheld all federal pa
tronage for Oregon from him. Blu

SYNOPSIS.

Howard Jeffries, bankers son, under
the evil influence of Robert Underwood,
tellow-student at Yale, leads a life of dis
sipation, nlarries the daughter of a gam
bier whe-Tfied In prison, and is disowned
by his father. He is out of work and in
desperate straits. Underwood, who had
once been engaged to Towards step
mother. Alicia, is apparently in prosper
ous circumstances. Taking advantage of
his intimacy with Alicia. he becomes a
sort OF social highwayman. Discovering
his true character, Alicia denies him the
house. He sends her a note threatening
suicide. Art dealers for whom he acted
as commissioner, demand an accounting.
he cannot make good. Howard calls at
his apartments in an Intoxicated Condi-
ton to request a loan of 5000 to enable
him to take up a business proposition.
Underwood tells him he ia in debt up to
his eyes. Howard drinks himself into a
maudlin condition, and goes to sleep on a
aiyan. A caller is announced and Under
wood draws screen around the drunken
sleeper. Alicia enters. She demands a
promise from Underwood that he will not
take his life. He refuses unless she will
renew her patronage. This she refuses,
and takes her leave. Underwood kills
kens Howard. He finds Underwood dead.
Realizing his predicament he attempts to
flee and is met by Underwood's valet
Howard is turned over to the police,
treatment of prisoners, puts Howard
through the third degree, and finally gets
an alleged confession from the harassed
man. Annie, Towards wife, declares her
belief in her husbands Innocence, and
says she will clear him. She calls on
JenrfeS. Sr- He refuses to help unless
she viii consent to a divorce. To save
Howard she consents. but when she finds
that the elder Jeffries does not intend to
stand by his son, except financially, she
scorns his help. Annie appeals to Judge

CHAPTER xIV.-continued.

You mean about the Underwood
case?"
Alicia nodded
Yes. Mr.. Jeffries is terribly upset.
As if the coming trial and all the rest
of the scandal were not enough. But
now we have to face something even
worse, something that affects me even
more than my husband. Really, I'm
frantic about it"
What's happened now?" asked the
lawyer, calmly.
THAT woman is going on the stage,
that's ALI" she snapped.
Him." said the lawyer, calmly.
Just think" she cried, the name,
Mrs. Howard Jeffries'-my name
paraded before the public! At a time
when everything should be done to
keep 1t out of the papers this woman
is going to Haunt herself on the
stage!"
She famed herself Indignantly.
while the lawyer raped his desk abb
sent-mindedly with a paper cutter.
Alicia went on:
You know I have never met the
woman. What is she like? under
stand she's been bothering you to
take the case of that worthless hus-
band of hers. Do you know she had
the impertinence to come to our house
and ask MIR. Jeffries to help them? /
asked my husband to describe her,
but all could get from him was that
she was impertinent and impossible. =
She hesitated moment. then she
added; is she as pretty as her pic
lures in the paper? You've seen her,
of course?'
Judge Brewster frowned.
Yes" he replied. "She comes here
every day regularly She literally
compels me to see her and refuses to
go till I've told her / haven't changed
my decision about taking her case"
What insolencei" exclaimed Alicia.
Il should think that you would have
her put out of the Office"

PlMPLES ON FACE 8 YEARS

Il was troubled with acne for three
long years. My face was the only part
affected, but it caused great disfigure-

pimples which later contained white

The lawyer was silent and -toyed
somewhat neryOusly with the paper
cutter, as if not quite decided as to
what response to make. He coughed
and fused with the papers on the
desk.
why don't you have her put out of
the office?" she repeated.
The judge looked up. There was
an expression in his face that might
have been interpreted as one of an
noyance, as if he rather resented this
intrusion into his business affairs,
but Mrs. Jeffries, ST., was too i'm
portant client to quarrel with, so
he merely said:
Frankly, Mrs. Jeffries, if it were
not for the fact that Mr.. Jeffries has
exacted from me a promise not to
take up this case, should be tempted
to-consider the matter. In the first
place, you know I always liked How

your marriage to Mr.. Jeffries. He
was always wild, unnlanageable

full thing and a terrible blow to his
father. Of course, he has had moth.
ing to do with Howard for months.
As you know, he turned him out of
| doors long ago, but the disgrace is
| none the less overwhelming"
The lawyer looked out of the win
dow and drummed his fingers on the
arm of his chair Suddenly wheeling
round, and facing his client, he said:
You know this girl he married is
no ordinary woman"
OH" she exclaimed, sarcasticaIly.
"She has succeeded in arousing your
sympathy"
The judge bowed coldly.
No" he replied. Il would hardly
say that. But she has aroused nv

strange features connected with the
case. Sometimes, in spite of Howard's
confession, l don't believe he COM
mitted that crime"
Alicia changed color and. shifting
uneasilx on her chair, scrutinized the
lawyers face. What was behind that
calm, inscrutable mask? What theory
had he formed? One newspaper had
suggested suicide. She might herself
come forward and declare that Rob
ert Underwood had threatened to
take his own life, but how could she
face the scandal which such a course
would involve? She would have to
admit visiting Underwood's rooms at
midnight alone. That surely would
ruin her in the eyes not only of her
husband, but of the whole world. II
