said Hardness.
"Yes, they're cheap" Mosely as

with poor mans contempt for low
prices.
We'll, that only makes It worse"
replied Garwocd. "But leave them out
entirely. With sfxty-two votes War
rem can control the CAUCUS"
"Providin' al-nys, however" sug-
gested Nosely in statutory language.
"Oh. course" asyentsd Garwood,
petulant from the heat and the situa-
ton, they won't all be elected. That's
why he'll work like hell to carry Cook.
He lies when he says he doesn't give
damn how she goes tomorrow"
"He always does that" said the col
onel, from his bed.
Carroll, to whom political calcula-
tons savored always of the mystery
of higher mathematics, said:
Seems to me you could figure it
better than that"
well, you try it," said Garwood
dropping his pencil and fitting back in
his chair.
There was not much hope, and the
soberness deepened. After a while
there was knock on the door, and q
shaven head was thrust in.
Them lit'ry guys is out here" said
the shaven head, Amy figur's to give

"Figur's?" cried Mosely. We've
got tn official vote!"
And Garwood, taking his papers
from the table, went out and said to
the reporters:
Conventions have been held in all
the senatorial districts down the
state, and sixty-nine candidates are
already nominated OF these sixty
nine, we have beyond any question"
he consulted his paper, as If to
make sure of the number-"we have
flfty-three, and that doesn't include
the nine hold-over senators who are
with us. We can lose ten of them
at the polls and still have enough to
control the caucus. In Cook county,
tomorrow, Wen carry the First,
Third, Fifth, Sixth, Ninth, Eleventh,
Seventeenth, Nineteenth, Twenty
first, Twenty-third and the country
townsville Seventh-giving us thirty
five more candidates, or ninety-seven
in all. This is a conservative esti-
mate, and gives the doubtful districts
to Warren. We can lose Cook to-
morrow and still have a fighting
chance to win out. l regard the bat
tie as ours. Senator Warren is de-
feated."
"over at the Richelieu," said Cow
ley, of the News-Dispatch, Baldwin
claims they have you whipped to a
standstill."
They're welcome over there to any
comfort they can get out Of the stu
ation," said Garwood in superior
way.
1t rained on the day Of the pri-
maries. All morning politicians, big
and little, stamped into Senator War
ren's hotel on Michigan avenue, or
stamped in the Grand, tracking with
greasy mud the muslin that had been
stretched over the carpet in Colonel
Talbott's headquarters.
II was wicked battle they fought
out at the polls that day. The War
rem men had control of the party
organization and named the judges
and clerks. Inmates of lodging
houses, and Lake Front hoboes, their
rags steaming in the warm rain, were
hauled from poll to poll in big moving
vans, and voted wherever Warren
needed votes and as often as he
pleased
AT Z o'clock the polls closed. War.
rem carried some Of the districts, the
opposition others. Both claimed the
victory. It was left for the conven.
ton TO decide.

ferred not to get up the next morn.

how he thought the First district
convention would turn out. Lambert
had no idea.
II hope well win," Foerder would
say. Finally he sent Lambert down
for news. Lambert hurried back.
They had taken forty-six ballots, he
said, and the vote was tied. At ten
o'clock Doctor Foerder examined the
colonel again, examined his eyes, his
finger-nails, drummed on his chest,
listened to his heart.
you're magnificent" he could not
refrain from whispering, but his pa
! tient did not answer or look, or even
smile this time. He was growing very
weak. His breathing was faint, he in
hailed the air through livid lips. He
did not arouse from his stupor.
Doctor Foerder got very impatient
I'VE can't wait much longer" he said
"It's all we can do, now" said Lam
bert.
Foerder went outside The ante
room was deserted. The politicians
! came no more. He would sit down,
then instantly get up, walk back and
forth; his eyebrows knitting In his
scowl, his lips twitching In that mirth-
less smile. And he smoked cigarette
after cigarette. He did this for an
hour.
Along toward midnight he heard a
step. Flying to the door, he saw Car
roll, dragging down the hall with the
step Of defeat and exhaustion. The
boys hair was matted under his hat,
his eyes were dull, sunken, black as
night.
Licked" he said, waving his hands
with gesture Of despair, as If the
world had come to an end. Foerder
went inside, leaving Carroll to sink
into the first chair. But a moment
later the physician opened the white
door, and beckoned with his head.
The motion was conclusive, final. He
held the door ajar and Carroll en-
tered. The useless drugs had been
pushed aside. The room was filled
with the strange silence, the odor of
death. Lambert stood at the win
dow, looking out into the darkness.
The nurse stood by the bed, waiting
to perform her last Office for the dy-
ing man.
Carroll timidly approached and
looked down at the long form, scarce
ly outlined by the sheet, at the rigid
head. at the great, waxen brow. at the
little blue spheres formed by the
closed eyelids, at the mouth slightly
open beneath the white mustache
with its tinge of yellow. Doctor
Foerder was pressing his fingers to
the colonel's wrist. The breathing had
lost all human quality, 1t was but a
series OF automatic gasps, which, 1t
seemed, would never end. Finally
they grew shorter, at last they ceased,
there was one faint inspiration, and
Doctor Foerder, laying the thin old
hand down upon the colonel's breast,
said:
Its all over"
There was silence for a whole min
ute. Then Doctor Lambert tossed up
the window, and Carroll heard in the
street below, a crowd shuffling over
the sidewalk, crowd coming, as he
knew, from the convention in Italia
hall. And suddenly from the crowd
arose raucous, drunken yell:
"Hurrah for Warrenl"

on IN the nope OF beer money, at
least, for their imaginary services on
this decisive day Malachi Nolan, in
black garments and white cravat,
came presently, his big diamond flash
ing, his face shining and red from
his dull razor, and then Carroll, at
the sound of whose young step and
fresh laugh the colonel succeeded in
evoking a wan, tired smile.
Just lazy, that's ALL" he declared
reassuringly, seeing Carroll halt in
surprise. He reared himself on his
elbow, and as he raised his head, its
white hair all tangled, Carroll saw
how haggard he was. He never had
seen him look so old, so white, so
worn, before.
II was waiting for you," said the
colonel, indicating Nolan with a
finger that was like claw. 1--WE
fixed everything but the First dis
trict." He paused for breath. "The
First wards solid, isn't it? Well, all
right. But watch Donahue. I'm sorry
we ever let him geton the delegation.
And then, let's see"-he pressed his
brow in a troubled effort to steady
his senses-"oh, yes. See McGlynn
and have him lay down on Hardy, and
tell Reinhold that if he wants that
job from the South Park board he'd
better get in line, and as to Wright

Carroll, who had turned to reply to
some jest Of Mosely's heard groan
Instantly he looked back at the colo
mel. The old politician, his face livid
was struggling as If he wished to gel

then his head nodded, his chin drop
ped to his breast, and he collapsed il

clothes. Carroll paled with sudder
sickness.

HITS TELEPHONE COMPANIES.
The Zone" System Must Not Apply in
Establishing Rates

OKLAHOMA CITY, March -. 49,
The corporation commission places its
disapproyal upon the cbploymest of
zones by telephone companies IS a
basis Of fixing different rates for the
same class of phones in cities in con-
nection with an order issued today.
fixing charges to be made for service
at Chickasha by the Pioneer Telc-
phose and Telcgrdph company.
After April ;, the following sched-
ule of rates are ordered in Chickasha
by the commission: Residence phones
$50 per month; business phones
$3.50 per month; party lines 81 per
month
The commission states in its opinion
that presest rates in Chickasha vary
from 81 to s1.7j for residence phones
and that the Pioneer company Jus
titles these alleged determinations on
the ground that it has divided the
city into zones. The commission takes
the position that zones should cut no
figure asd that charges should be the
same in all parts of the city for resi-
dence phones of the same class.

posed by the antitrust and other statutes of this
country The ships would float the American nag,
and be available for drafting into American naval
service in case of necessity
1t is not apparent why there should be antagonlsm
to such proposal 1t would be very much less con-
cesson to foreign interests than would be represent
ed by opening the entire coastwse shipping oppor-
tuny to participation of the whole worlds shipping:
proposition which is coming to command more and
support as the facts about the shipping situa-
ton are better understood. The entrance of one
powerful and we-fnanced line of vessels into this
trade, on conditions which assured its independence
of any existing combination conference would be
enough to smash any such combination; which GER
tainly is to be desired.
If there has been any such concerted effort as
Mr.. Baker has believed, to suppress competitive
shipping by the canal the proposition which he now
presents is proof that such combination could not
stand against the attractions of the coaswise ship
ping opportunity There may be people with am
bitons big enough to compass the idea of money
trust, but that sort of combination will hardly stand
as against the worldwide competition for good in
vestment opportunities.

A SURPRISING DEVELOPMENT OF INTER.
EST IN THE JONES-WORKS BILL

One of the remarkable things which the condi-
tions at present surrounding the JonesWorks excise
bill have brought out is the sudden and surprising
interest which all the contemporaries of The Times
are taking in the measure.
During the time when the bill was Gagged up in
the House District Committee and while The Times
seeking to get it before the House for consider
ation, no other Washington newspaper saw any news
in the situation or printed anything regarding it.
Suddenly they have all walked up. They all see, if
their news columns reflect their real opinions dire
disaster to the liquor interests if it is enacted and
practical prohibition as its result.
The Times believes it has given the Jones' Works
bill careful study than anyone else. 1t is free
to say and has repeatedly said that there some
faults in the bill. 1t has in the past opened the way
to a compromise measure which would have elm
mated those faults. 1t was not The Times blame
that compromise was not reached. The analysis
of the bill which reaches the conclusion that all but
seven saloons will be eliminated has neither logic
truth to support it and the prophesed result of
prohibition is not indicated by either the terms
or intent of the measure.
But more surprising than the conclusions is the
fact that after a year of silence The Times con-
temporaries reach any conclusion at all. We wonder
at the suddenly aroused interest.

THE NEAR-oPPORTUNITIEs.

"An engineer commissioner" says Col. William
v. Judson in his valedictoy lis surrounded by near
opportunities for great local public service 1t is
hardest to contemplate the things one would have
done, but could not.
That is true of the whole administration of this
District. Colonel Judson has been untirng work.
er, bringing not merely industry and technical ex-
pertness but also enthusiasm and vision to his task.
No Commissioner of this District in many years has
viewed its problems with so wide-embracing recog-
milton of things present and to come None has
tried so hard to accomplish large benefits for the
city. None has succeeded in so great measure as
he, both in accomplishing and in setting on foot
things whose accomplishment later will be due to
the impetus he gave. 1t has been his good fortune,
and the Districts that he has been associated with
men who have been able to understand and willing
to support his ambitious plans for this city.
Colonel Judson has not been by any means uni
versally popular. He is too big, strong and agress
i've. Too often he crossed the purposes of interests
which were not accustomed to encounter the antag-
onism of municipal authority which was able to
understand and willing to fight for the larger civic
concerns. What's the use?" and 1T isn't up to
you?" were phrases of disparagement and deprecia-
ton which cynicism constantly but Intellectually op-
posed to his enthusiasts for the real public good
They proved quite Intellectual against the amor
of his purpose to do just as much of what he be-
eved was right and constructive for this community.
He made enemies, but the day will come wnen
Washington will love him-as large part of it
now does-for those very enemies
Colonel Judson is transferred from the Engineer
Commissionership to service the Panama canal
zone, Colonel Goethals having especially and urgent
y requested the assignment. There, it is very def
nitely understood, he will take up, with Colonel
Goetnals. the great task of organizing the civil gov
ment of the zone, and the plans for administration
of the completed canal. The assignment is prelimi-
nary to making him governor of the zone at some
future time.
Assignment to such task which demands at
once the highest engineering ability and the largest
capacity for governmental construction and admins
traton, is the tribute which the War Department pays
to Judson. 1t suggests a measure of Washington s
loss in his departure from this city.
