TAINTED POLITICS
By Peter Radford

This country is suffering more from tainted politics than from any other malady at the present time. There is scarcely a campaign speech made, a platform demand written or a mea- sure enacted into law that does not carry the taint of personal gain of some politician or political faction thereof.
 There is more blue sky in cam paign promises of many politicians running for office than was ever con tained in the prospectuses of the bold est promoters of chimerical business schemes. There are more secret com binations formed by politicians in the name of My Country than were ever formed under any and an other aliases. There are more political re- bates hidden in the phrase Be it en- acted than were ever concealed un- der any and all other disguises.
 The inordinate thirst for political power and unresuained passion for mastery has caused more distress in this nation than the greed for gold, and it ought 10 be regulated by law. No business combination ever pursued their competitors as relentlessly or visited more heartless cruelty upon their customers than a political party that seeks to make junk of an in- dustry. or cripple a business for party success, through tariff measures, po- litical supervision ard ofttimes de- structive legislation. Many political platforms are as alluring to the voter as the story of the rainbow with it's pot of gold and their consummation about as farfetched Selfgain is the first law in politics. There are many men in office today who, If they could not shake plums off the tree of American liberty or cut a melon taken from Uncle Sams cOmmissary, would have less desire to serve the public
 The country is surfeiting with paJri- ots, who will bare their breast to bull lets in defense of their country but there are few men in public life who will bare their breast to voters or run the gauntlet of party disfavor ID de- fense of agriculture or industry No representative of the people, who will permit personal prejudice to dethrone justice, party success to disfranchise reason or the rancor of a political campaign to influence judgment can render capable service.
 The preservation os our prosperity depends upon wisdom, courage and honesty in government, and the Amer ican voter should seek these attri- butes as implicitly as the Wise Men followed the Star of Bethlehem and they will often be found to rest over the stable; the blow or the stan of the Shepherd. The surest cure for tainted politics and machine rule is fresh air and sunshine and these nm portant elements are most abundant upon the farm, and when farmers bankers and merchants are elected to membership in legislative bodies. much of the trouble in government will dis appear

CHAPTER K

 On my return Co London next day ] made inquiry at the admiralty and learned that the battleship Bulwark was lying at Palermo, therefore teie- graphed to Jack Durnford, and late the same afternoon his reply came at the Cecil
 Due In London twentieth. Dine with me at club that evenlng.-Jack.
 The twentieth That meant nearly a month of inactivity. In that time l could cross to Abo, make inquiries there, and ascertain, perhaps, if Elma Heath were actually dead as Chatter had declared.
 Two facts struck me as remarkable: I Baron Oberg was said to be Polish, while the dark-bearded proprietor Of the restaurant in Westbourne Grove was also of the same nationality. Then l recollected that pretty little ! enameled cross that Mackenzie had ! found in Rannoch Wood and it sud denly occurred to me that it might 1 possibly be the miniature of one of the l European orders of chivalry. In the club library at midnight l found a copy of Cappelletti's Storia degli Ordini Cayallereschi, the standard work on i the subject, and on searching the illus trations l at length discovered a pie ! ture of it. It was a Russian order | the coveted Order of Saint Anne, be- | slowed by the czar only upon persons ] who have rendered eminent services to the state and to the sovereign. One ! fact was now certain, namely, that the owner of that tiny cross, the small re- i plica of the fine decoration must be a ] person of high official standing.
 The autumn days were dull and rainy and the streets were muddy and unpleasant as they always are at the fall of the year Compelled to remain inactive. I idled in the club with the recollection of that pictured face ever before me-the face of the unfortunate girl who wished her last message to be conveyed to Philip Hornby What I wondered, was her secret? What was really her fate?
 This latter question troubled me until ] could bear 1t no longer l felt that it was my duty to go to Finland and endeavor to learn something re garding this Baron Oberg and his niece.

our attention but what is thrown at
it; nothing really stimulates our
thought but a loaded headline or a
staring picture.
But here is strange thing: You
would think this wild hurry of writ
ers and readers would at least foster
one of the chief literary merits-brev
ity. Quite the contrary. Our news
papers are one of the wonders of the
world for size--and padding. Why is
it that when most of us want to read
only the headlines, and should appar
emily be satisfied with headlines and
nothing else, every newspaper is stuff
fed with column after column of am
plification which seems to add little
to the few essential words printed at
the top? The reason is obvious. It
is precisely because we have acquir-
ed such happy. facility in the art ct
skipping that we are perpetually invit
ed to skip-like little lambs.
