One boast that Senator Harding makes
Is that he has always been a republican.
IL was he who presented the name of
PRESIDENT Taft for denomination at the
oh,cago convention in 1912-the most
turbulent convention in the annals of
repupilcanlsm. Four years ago he was
CHOSEN chairman of the republican ma
tlonal convention and delivered the key
note address. He presided over the con-
ventlon with poise. showing himself an

the other two quickly followed, and
all three, reunited on the top of
the old tower, formed a single radi-

Christiane was astonished by this
peculiar circumstance. She asked
herself why these three were always
together, while everywhere else one
sees these amorous little creatures
in pairs, cooing to each other and
disdaining the rest of the world.
She went downstairs and into the
court TO question the hotelkeeper.

feared the burdens imposed on them
by love. She continued to dream.
Had she, too, not committed this
latter fault? What wouldn't she
give to-day to repair her error?
Suddenly she trembled. The
symptoms of annunciation, the first
stirring of life which was begin
ming within her, filed her with
mysterious tenderness. She ran up
TO the chamber in which she had
slept alone and depressed. And in
place of the long melancholy letter
which she was accustomed to write
each day to her absent husband she
traced for him these words, weight

The calm of this tiny provincial

ME very important factor in
q counting up the probable

for a trump declaration is
the ability to ruff. Nothing is more
deceptive than five or six small
trumps, with two or three rags in

Not only beginners, but players of
many years experience, are continu-
ally falling into the error Of over

the fact that dummy's trumps are
of no value unless they can be made
separately from the declarer's.

NEWBERRY AND BERGER

If recent precedent is to gov ern, it would appear that Newberry should be excluded from the senate by an almost unanimous vote, but. as the lawyers say, his case is not exactly on all fours with that of Berger. The position of the oratori- cal gentlemen from Wisconsin was weak because he never constituted a majority of the House and he never was able by his vote to give or de prive any party of a majority. Counting only one in a minority out he went.
 While in law and in morals New berry's status may be the same, po- litically he is impregnable. If his election had not been bought the Republicans could not have re-or. ganized the senate and by means of a packed foreign relations com. mlttee headed by Henry Cabot Lodge, defeated the peace treaty. If he were to be unseated now that he has served this great purpose man, people would applaud, but how coulc the Republican party ever justify such ingratitude? As long as New berry can keep out of jail he is z Senate majority, and majorities rule New York World.
