by Buick Sales Chief.

Original parts are extremely hard

In the original construction, yet there
are a number Of small concerns that
are seeking to market repair parts
for various makes of cars by claiming
that these parts are Just as good as
the original. Price, of course, is
largely their claim for preference.
The average owner or garage man
has no means of testing such parts,
but must take the claims or word of
such outside manufacturer for their
quality. This is especially true of the

binding force and effect as if enacted
at the regular session,


at the regular session.
1t is, however, possible and even pro-
bable, that the brethren have council
ed together and reached the conclu-
sion that to change the primary law
so that the Non-Partisan Leaguers
and their sympathizers may be divid-
ed up and parcelled out to the old
party machines would be the prop
er caper" just now.
In North Dakota, the Leaguers cap
tured the Republican party bag and
baggage. In order to prevent the
same thing being done in Minnesota,
they might require every man who
desires to vote in Republican Pri-
mary, to make oath that he supported
the last Republican Candidate for
governor; and they could apply the
same test of course to the Democratic
party primary. Where would that
leave more than 100 men who sup
ported Evans?
l have a suspicion that this is just
what the stand pat leaders intend to
do. The Democrats saved Burnquist
last year, but owing to National con-
d1tions. they cannot be relied upon to
respect the performance for the bene.
fit of the next Republican candidate
whom Big Biz may favor.
Whether or not any reform legisla-
ton advocated by the League is put
through as sop to the dissatisfied
voters, 1t is morally certain that the
purpose and intent Of the contemplat-
ed changes in the present primary
laws are aimed at the division of the
vote in the farmers and workingmens
forces, or showing those out of regular
party primaries who have independent
leanlngs and have not always support
ed the regular party nominees.
While will be unable to attend this
special session, l will keep close
watch of its proceedings. I already
have tab on each individual mem
Der that made up at the regular
session. It will be interesting to note
how the reactionary leaders, especial
ly in the Senate, will take to any pro-
posed legislation along anti-monopoly
or reform lines. But little can. be ex-
pected of a body that would vote to
unseat a member honestly and fairly
elected, like the Senate did in the vii
cox case, on the flimsy pretext that
somebody left a bundle Of electioneer-
Ing documents or political circulars

Then who is opposed to taxing the
royalties derived from leasing the
mining privileges except the Hill in

Yet it was laws like these that the
opponents of the League refused to
pass. It is no wonder that they are
nearly scared to death, and are going
to get together and try to do some
thing.
Judge Niece and his famous Safe.
ty Commission, after making hole In
the public treasury of nearly million
dollars, has apparently gone into re.
tirement and would probably like to
be forgotten. We don't want to be
investigated The question is when
they come together, will the August
Legislators, to save thir own hides,
dare to take the animal by the horns
and defy the unseen powers that domi-
nate public affairs.
For instance, the big packers don't
want oleo shut out of state institu-
tons. The fat boys "who run the
big banks" are feminist" a bank guar
antee bill because it would add to
their taxes a charge they cannot we'll
pass over to the depositors. The big
mine owners who have long time leas-
es are naturally opposed to royalty
tax since It could not well be passed
along to fall finally on the consumers
of iron and steel products.
The question is: Will these inter-
ests consent to be quietly slapped on
the wrist" by friendly Legislature to
save the steel trust from paying seven
million dollars annually In taxes, and
the great lumber barons from a rigid
and searching investigation by fear

It may be that the two last named

Dream Reveals Crime.

A dream once played it's part in a
celebrated criminal case-the Red
Barn Murder""-the memory Of which
is kept alive by the melodrama still
played in country towns in England.
Mrs. Marten, the mother of Maria
Marten, the victim, dreamed three sue
cessiye nights that her daughter had
been murdered and buried in the red
barn. She Insisted that the floor
should be taken up. This was done
and the body Of the missing girl was
found, and constituted link In the

ests back of him think that they know
what they are doing. It will be in
teresting, to say the least, to note the
effort they will take and the laws they
will favor in the hope of dividing the
League vote in the next election as
they are well aware, that unless this
is done, the people will win out in the
coming contest.

CHAPTER ~.

And the years passed, and Mark
Wallace grew grayer and older, and
more set and dispirited, with long al
ternating intervals of resignation,
when he took life as he found it and
was satisfied. But he always came
out of these into brief periods of un-
rest, with the sense that he had awak-
ened from some lethargy that was
damning his soul as the alkali and the
winds of the plains had scanned his
face and taken the last particle of his
youth away.
Now In Texas, now in Arizona, now
in some lonely border post in the
freezing Northwest, he remained a cap
tain. He had no friends in Washing
ton. In time-in long time he would
reach his majority, no doubt, to be re-
Ieved soon after, and waddle, with
stout old majors of his own age, into
ornate clubs in army centers not quite
so far removed from civilization. He
looked upon this prospect with ironical
patience, and now and then asked
himself the unanswerable question
why he had remained in the army.
Eleanor was grown up and domiciled
permanently in Colonel Howard's town
house, and her letters had grown more
infrequent and perfunctory, until their
arrival became q quarterly affair in
stead of a monthly event, and not al
ways that, either.
And by and by the feeling came
over Mark that If ever he were to see
her again there would remain no COM
mon link between them. From doubt
ing his future he had come to doubt
himself. He doubted whether the des-
ert life had not blunted him, blunted
his finer instincts, and made him unfit
for social llfe-certainly rendered him
unfit for the guardianship of a young
girl.
But that he had rellnquished to Col
onel HOward-grudglngly but unCom-
promisingly. Never in any of his let
ters did he put forward the shadow
Of his former claim.
Then, swiftly and unexpectedly,
chance turned and beckoned him.
