sachusetts until the greater part of
the police force of Boston went on
strike in September, 1919. Coolidge
was governor of the state. He order
ed out the state guard to patrol the
streets of Boston after a night of riot
ing, and announced that law and or
der would be preserved and declared
that the strikers were deserters and
that their places would be filled by
other men.
The strikers never regained their
positions. Troops maintained order
for several weeks an da new police
force was recruited. The stand taken
by the governor carried his name to all
parts of the country and in his own
state he was promptly nicknamed "Law
and Order Coolidge"
Calvin Coolidge was born on a farm
in the little village Of Plymouth, VT, on
July 1, 1872. His father, in addition
to carrying on the farm, was the viii
lage storekeeper. Coolidge's ancestors,
in WATERFOWL, Mass, in 1880, were
all farmers.
In 1918 he was nominated by the
Republicans without opposition for
governor and was elected by plurality
Of about seventeen thousand votes. He
was renominated in 1919, and, aided
by the prestige gained through his re-
lation to the Boston police strike, was
reelected by plurality of more than
one hundred and twenty-five thousand
and received the largest total vote
ever cast for governor in Massachu-
sets.

VALE! CARRANZA.

; There seems to be some question
just vet as to whether or not General
C~arranza, late president OF Mexico,
has been captured by the revolution
lists. But OF the utter collapse of his
government there seems to b. no room
for question whatever. Practically
the whole country has gone over to
the revolutionists, and Of the former
Carranza regime there is left only
scattered remnants. +.
The downfall Of Carranza will cause
few tears to be shed on this side of
the Rio Grande. His character and
his course have alike been mysteri-
Gus. He went into office with the
good will of the American govern
ment and the American people, whose
only interest in Mexico was to see a
responsible, stable government estab-
Ilisf1ed there, and the development of
political and economic conditions
which would at once tend to raise
the status OF the masses of the populA-
ton, develop the natural of
LIN II1C DIOVOCLlOn
which is expected of all civilized gov
ernments for foreigners legitimately
present in the country.
Carranza has from the first D
ed to be suspicious Of the United
States, and his attitude has invariably
been offensive and insulting. He has
permitted the most a]trocious acts to
be committed against Americans, and
has on no occasion demonstrated a
desire that the conditions should be
mend Hence there will be a very
general disposition on this side to
welcome the revolution on the. ground
That n change is not likely to make
conditions worse, while there is at
least a fair possibility that they may
be made better.

and candidates began to ask for SUPP
port on the basis of their party aft
liation, which affiliation was made a
matter Of record, especially on the
election ballots.
At first each party proceeded ac-
cording to it's own sweet will in the
matter Of making nominations. eau
cuses and conventions were held with
u any legal regulation, and public
officials charged with the duty of list
ing nominations had to take the dec
larations of the various party sccre-
taries wholly. on faith. Contests were
numerous, and charges of irregular
ity and bad faith filled the air in ev-
cry campaign. Then it was decided
that conventions, and the %caucuses
leading up to them. should be regu-
lated by law, but they still remained
in charge Of the party committees.
Then came the day OF the primary.
election. The nominating convention.
was declared obsolete, and it was de-
creed that the primary should take its
place, the voters declaring by direct
vote their choice among the candi-
dates who were available.
Presently it was found that the
primary election had by no means
killed the factional spirit. People
were as factional as ever, Inc there
was the same tendency among them
to group themselves into factions
and ~ror1co ,0~r11<o +;oIyot, nooh
ticket representing the views Of it's
particular faction. But in order that
this might be lone it was necessary
that there should be conference and
something in the nature Of popular
choice of hose who were to be en-
dorsed as the fractional candidates,
The method adopted is that. of the
pre-primary convention, which is in
full swing in all.parties just now.
1t is interesting to note the steps
by which We have reached the pres
ent status. First there was the gen.
erel election, without any very def
mite party alignment. Then came. the
more elaborate party organization and
the convention to determine who
should be the party candidates: Then
we had the primary election in an at
tempt to do away with the convention.
Now we have the convention in ad-
vance of the primary to. determine
who shall be the candidates OF the
faction or group at the primary
Presently. in all probability. some
body will think it necessary to have
this matter adjusted by another pri-
mary instead of the present unofficial
convention, and then the convention

A WORTHY

ThesTgreat storm which swept the
northwest in the early spring was
attended by many tragedies, but we
element Of tragedy vas combined
with that of heroic self-sacrifice in
greaterrn,easure than in that which
culminated in the death of Hazel
Miner, of Center, North Dakota, who
deliberately gave up her own life in
order to save the lives of her little
brother and sister who, with her, were
tlost. in the storm.
The press reports at the time gave
q bare recital of the facts. They
told how the elder girl, with the two
little ones, were caught in the storm
some distance from home; how their
sleigh was overturned and the horses
broke away, leaving them stranded
in a binding storm; how Hazel her
sexESs butasaa young girl, devoted, herself
~ the safety of her brother and sis
ter. neglecting her. own, gathering
h little ones to her in the shelter of
the overturned sleigh, sheltering and
warming them with her own body, de-
priving herself Of blankets that they
might be better sheltered, and quiet
ing them with words of assurance un-
til her own life went out and the lit
tile ones were saved.
AL Of this has been told, but it is
at best but a bare, outline. There
were no witnesses other than the two
,schildren, who scarcely realized their
plight, and could not realize what
their sister was doing for them. But
the bare facts are enough to touch
the emotions and stir the imagination.
and there is no danger tina emotion
or imagination will do more than
justice to the brave girl.
The people OF Center, desiring to
p~erpetuate the name Of this splendid
sample Of young womanhood, and to
commeNpPrate her noble act. have or
ganized a memorial committee which
has undertaken the work Of collect
ing funds for a Hazel Miner memoir
tal5 hospital. the profits from which
are to be devoted to giving free treat
r1ent TO the poor children Of North
Dakota. It is suggested that COOP
Grating committees be organized in
eacn community in the state in order
that those who wish to make some
contribution to this work may find
q convenient way to do so.
Such q memorial will be emtnent1y
I . fitting one. and The Herald is glad
to give publicity to the movement.

CHAPTER xuI-(Continued.)

Irenya responded to the summons
with alacrity. She had ever ceased
to delight in that task. and had be-
come expert in brushingNand arranS-
ing the Americans thick, waving
tresses in bronze-hued coils and
braids. Already she had insisted on
trying every combination of brilliant
and ribbon Delight would permit;
now she set herself choose the most
successful.
"You must look most beautiful to-
night, Countess Delice. We are to
please Lord Stefan. You will regard
him softly, and he will think
After all, you are married to
him." reminded Irenya the frank.
She had nearly lost her desire. De-
light went to meet Stefan Balsic with
an acute self-consciousness that
made asking a concession of him al
most impossible.
But one does not dine with, the
same companion night after night
without gaining a certain intimacy.
Little by little Delight recovered her
poise, as the meal progressed. AS
always. they were alone together;
the night Of Sir Roberts visit alone
had broker the rule. When the cof-
Zee was OH LiS ldule, size brought NeT-
self to the point of making the re-
quest.
"Mr. Rupert has invited Irenya to
drive, in his car she announced. in
spite of herself. with some con.
straint. HE is an American, and
saw nothing unusual in the matter.
She wishes very much TO 60, but Of
course she cannot go alone. Should
you object If I went With them as
Ichaperon? Captain LesendraAts not
here to accompany US. Or"
You are not my prisoner, but my
wife" Count Balsic quietly returned.
'"You had no need to ask"
She looked at him quickly.

night of Owens visit"
You would let me go away"
He was silent for a time-playing
with his cup.
What do you want me to say" he
asked.
Delight had the sensation Of being
struck. She had not suspected the
very masculine Stefan Balsic Of 80
much penetration: she had not Ell
.plored her own mind to the recesseas
his brief question had illumtned with
the indecent thoroughness of a
searchlight. She lifted her eyes
langrtly. then let them fall; she dared
not take up the challenge. For she
did not want to go away suddenly
and clearly she saw that. She want
