SAYS PARTY POLITICS
GOVERNED SELECTIONS
Senator Burton Crihcises Appointees
to Board of Managers for Ma
tional Soldiers Home.

A joint resolution providing for the
appointment Of five members of the
board Of managers OF the national home
for disabled volunteer soldiers was
adopted by the Senate yesterday. The
resolution had previously been adopted
by the House. The appointees named In
the bill are James Steele Cstherwood, of
Illinois, George H. Wood. OF Ohio. John
c. Nelson. Of Indiana. Frederick J.
Close. of Kansas and Thomas F. Bing-
ham. Of Maine.
Senator Burton Of Ohio criticised the
resolution on the ground that party pol
tiles had played a part in the selection
OF the appointees. He pointed out that
Democrats had been selected to succeed
three Republicans. He said that the new
ly constituted board might attempt to
change the personnel of the employees
in the various soldiers homes in a par
tisan manner, and that the acts Of the
board would be carefully scrutinized in
the future.

WILSON FAYORS PLAN
TO RAISE COTTON FUND
Bankers Conference at St. Louis
Proposes $l5O.OOO.OO0to to
FINANCE Crop.

President Wilson yesterday expressed
his approval of the plan evolved by a
bankers conference at st. Louis this
week for raising fund Of s15oooo.ooo to
finance the cotton crop. The plan already
had been approved In substance by the
Federal Reserve Board. and committee
Of the conferring banks, headed by Fes-
tus J. Wade, president Of the Clearing
house Association of St Louis, has been
invited to Washington TO confer with the
board. Mr. Wade Informed Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo that he will arrive
In Washington tomorrow.
The plan is for the subscription by
banks, corporations, and individuals
OF $3.50, 900, 600 in a manner similar to
that followed in the formation of the
gold pool by which the banks of the
country are to meet their international
obligations. The money is to be used
in purchasing and making loans on
cotton at the market price. The plan
is said to have met with enthusiastic
support in the South and Middle West,
and citizens of st. Louis alone already
have subscribed. 81, ,o00, 900.

wants No Mail EmpIoyes to Oppose
Him on BIII.

Him on BIII.
"I will pursue General superintend-
ent A. H. Stevens, Of the railway mail
service, as long as he remains in the
postal service" declared Senator
Borah, OF Idaho, in the Senate yes
terdsy. speaking in regard to a speech
recently made by Mr.. Stevens. In this
speech, which Senator Borah submit
ted to the Senate, threats were made
by Stevens to dismiss men from the
railway mail service who signed Pc
titions in support of the Borah bill
forbidding the use OF stopwatches and
other timing devices to speed up the
service.
Senator Borah's denunciation Of Mr..
Stevens included the statement that the
threat in question was an attempt to
gag men and prevent them from exercis-
ing the right of petition. Threatened dis
charge coming from the bead of a de-
partment in the civil service with intent
to influence the political attitude OF an
employe is a very serious matter under
the civil service regulations, and Senator
Borah has expressed the hope that the
President and Postmaster General would
take up the matter. He said that II no
action was taken he intended to go fur
ther in the affair.

those first few years OF grinding pow
erty, anxiety and suspense. His moth
er's mind had stood the strain bravely,
but IL gave way ut last: not. however,
until that fatal winter journey to New
Hampshire, when cold, exposure and
fatigue did their worst for her weak
body. Religious enthusiast. exalted and
impressionable. natural mystic, she
had probably always been. far more so
in temperament. indeed, than her hus-
band: but, although she left home on
that journey frail and heartsick wo-
man, she returned a different creature
altogether, blurred and confused in
mind. with clouded memory and IRA
tional fancies.
She must have given up hope just
then, Ivory thought. and her love was
so deep that when it was uprooted the
soil came with il. Now hope had re-
turned because the cruel memory had
faded altogether. She sat by the kitch.
en- window in gentle expectation,
watching, always watching.
And this is the way many OF Ivory
