FOR AMERICANS

1--WE have up before us the ques-
ton of whether or not we shall keep
ourselves free from entangling ALLAN
ces with European powers and wheth
err we shall keep the western contin-
ent free from the intrigues and con-
splracies of the old world, whether
we shall determine for ourselves and
upon our own sense of justice and
righteousness when we shall send our
people to war or whether we shall
delegate that power to a tribunal
composed almost entirely OF foreign
ers; whether we shall keep our
young men at home free from the
sacrifices Of war until our own sense
of duty and our own loyalty to coun-
I try demand otherwise, or whether we
shall send them to the northern
shambles of Asia or TO perform the
mental service of police dogs in Eur
ope under the order of the council
controlled by those who are in no
wise responsible to the American
people.

this country will continue to be UNI

- rue there are thousands of
legal Do-.oerats who, placing their
country above their party. are not
for Il. These men will never be for
the party again while 1t stands for
this treacherous scheme. They are
entitled to the commentator of their
countrymen. But having left par
ty because 1t is for the league, will
they take refuge with party which
would have no policy in regard to IL?
DEMANDS oUTsPoPEN POLICY
But vastly more important is
this: Can political party survive
the miserable role OF having no word
to utter, as a party to its millions
OF supporters when the most vital
problem ever presented to our people
is up for consideration? What is a
political party for? To steal into
Office upon passing incidents and by
reason OF temporary plumbers and
leave the great questions which in
volve the honor of our country and
the tranquility and the happiness of
our people as whole to go unnot-
iced? The great mass of the people
are not members of a political party
for the loaves and the fishes, haunt
ed with an eager appetite for the
fleshpots They are there because it
furnishes them the method and the
only method under our form of gov
eminent OF effectuatlng their wish
es and their purposes in regard to
questions which touch most nearly
the welfare of their government and
the prosperity and power OF their
nation. The greater the problem;
therefore, the more searchingly II
reaches for the fundamental princi-
pies of government, the more quickly
and boldly should political organ
iation speak forth. It must take a
position in such controversy.
FATE OF WING PARTY
The old Whig party died in moral
bankruptcy of sheed political fright. |
When the great question of slavery
began to stir the hearts of the Amer
lean people 1t would remain silent in
order to preserve unity and enjoy
harmony. 1t resulted in the har-
mony of the grave. The great Web
ster in his 7th OF March speech, ex-
pounded the principles OF expedien-
cy as no man ever has. before or
since. 1t was the funeral Grafton of
his party and a fearful moral satac-
trophe in an otherwise noble life.
What the organization of the party
did not have the courage to do. It's
voters with many splendid acquisi-
lions, did do under another name.
1.-The old federal party committed
political suicide in the enith of its
power by striking at the rights Of a
free press and free speech, things
without which free institutions are
a mockery.
mo political party can live in a
government controlled by its moral
forcess and public opinion and dedi-
acted to liberty which refuses to take
position upon the great problems
OF national existence or which strike
at the fundamental guarantees of
personal liberty.

BOUDO1RWEAR
Everything for the Boudoir.
Exquisite Things for Brides.
MISS KIP. MRS. CHIVVIS.

The. cousin painted it we'll and illu-
minated it with elaborate initials and
an allegorical figure of a young lady
in Cubist negligee. 1t had the tradi-
tional charm of a tavern board. In
fact, their shop was to be a tavern for
women in search of sartorial refresh.
ment.
Troubles mustered about them as
weeds shove up in a garden faster
than they can be plucked out. Ex-
penses undreamed of materialized in
swarms. Everything was delayed ex-
cept the demands for their money
The petty-cash box, like a sort of per-
verified fairy purse, emptied itself as
fast as it was filled.
The petty cash was the least of
their dismay. The grand cash was the
main problem. They had stitched
their fingers full of holes and piled up
reams of fabrics, but the total was
pathetically tiny.
One thing was instantly demon
strated. They must give up their plan
or go into debt. Indeed, they already
were in debt.
"We've got to take the plunge" said
Daphne. I'D rather die than go on
paying a years rent for an empty
shop"
II know" Mrs. Chivvis fretted,
gnawing her thin lips, "but it's a risk.
You'd better ask your brother"
"Now Daphne stormed. I'm going
to win out on my own. Poor Bayard
is too busy to be bothered with my
troubles. He doesn't know I have any.
And Leila is SO busy with her social
business that she never asks me what
I'm up to.
"But what are we to dol" Mrs.
Chivvis walled. I'VE can't go on with
our stock, and you have no money
left, and ! hadn't any to start with"
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1919-04-10

have a window! With her name on
it! That would be more fun than a
limousine with crest on door.
Gradually her scheme enlarged. She
would devote her shop to the whole
mechanism of the boudoir. "Boudoir-
wear" was the word that pleased her.
It was in human nature that the
partners should quarrel over a name
for the BABY before the baby was
born. They spoke Of themselves as
"The Firm"
Finally Daphne, claiming the ma
jority of the power, voted en- bloc for
"Boudoirwear," and claimed the vic.
tory. Mrs. Chivvis surrendered with
the amendment that miss Kip"
should be at one side, "Mrs. Chivvis''
at the other. She bribed the assem-
bly, by promising that a cousin of hers,
a young artist living in the Washing
ton News, should paint a pretty sign
board on a swinging shingle. After
many designs had been composed and
destroyed they agreed on this legend :

Obedience Required,

The Bible rings with one long de-
mand for obedience. The key word
of the book Of Deuteronomy is lob
serve and do" The burden Of our
Lords farewell discourse is, If We
low me, keep my commandments
We must not question or reply or ex-
cuse ourselves. We must not pick
and choose our way. We must not
think that obedience in one direction
will compensate for d~isobedience in
come other particular. God gives one
command at a time; If we obey this
he will flood u soul with blessing,
and lead US forward into new paths
and pastures. But If we refuse we
shall remain stagnant and water
logged, make nc progress in Christian
experience, and lack both power and
joy.-F. B. Meyer.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1919-04-10

caring us all for spite? What else
is it but cheap, nasty spite?"
"It's a great deal more than ,spite,'
Bayard groaned. do you think I'll
accept favors from a man who has
been counting you and got caught at
it? I'd rather starved"
swell, I %wouldn'tw Leila averred.
"And I'm not going to starve. And
I'm not going to let you commit hari'
kari or Wetherell's doorstep just ia
spite him. I tell you again, once for
all, there was nothing wrong in Weth.
erell's behavior, absolutely nothing,
It's outrageous that you should accuse
me of such horrible things"
So Bayard was coerced into having
his life saved by his enemy. 1T was
one thing, however, to consent to deal
with Wetherell, and another to devise
a tolerable reconciliation.
SWELL" Bayard sighed, "beggars
can't be choosers. If I'd saved my
money I shouldn't have to thke Weth-
erell's money"
Bayard called up the president of
his company at the office. His 'oration
made q huge success. Bayard began
to smile to himself, to wink at the
spectators, and finally to share in the
apparent rapture of his distant ear
to-ear.
The end Of the matter was that when
Bayard left the telephone he was a
new man. he had cunningly raised
his chiefs hopes to the highest de-
gree, yet withheld the mine of the
English agent. He explained that he
intended to take Leila's advice and
use his knowledge as a lever for his
own advancement and Clay's.
Clay and Bayard sat down to make
figures, and the talk grew too tech
nical for the women to endure. After
hearing the first music of I;ayard and
Clay chanting in hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Daphne stole out un-
needed and went up to her own room.
Mr.. .Chivvis was sitting by a win
dow in mournful idleness. Mrs. Chiv-
Wis was stitching away at her en-
broidery. She was cheerful--for her.
She told Daphne that she had found
a market for her needlework; the
prices were poor but they were real.
She advised Daphne to get to work
with her.
Daphne had not the courage to say
that her brother and her %betrothed
were about to become plutocrats. She
said only that she was very tired.
And there is no more exhausting drain
on the nerves than their response to
unexpected good news. 1t is more
fatiguing than bad. She was sur
prised and shocked, too, to find how
snobbish she was all of a sudden
about the petty earnings Of a Chivvis.

in a lot. That's one reason he has
been kept down so. He never could
get ahead. That was what we were
saving up for-to get a little capital.
And then the war came along-and we
had to spend u savings. That same
war has made your brother so rich
that he could give you a small fortune.
u don't believe you could do better
than to put that into a business"
"Neither do II" Daphne cried.

CHAPTER XXI.

In those days the United States of
America suddenly woke to the fact
that they could pull themselves out
of bankruptcy by helping the benight-
ed states of Europe into it.
There were sudden geysers of for.
tune and sudden collapses of failure,
AS in bonanza times, many were ru'
ined, while the few prospered. But
Clay and Bayard seemed to touch
nothing that did not turn to gold.
Bayard had gained immense prestige
