the real beauty of her features. And
then I suddenly realized that this re.
nlarkable woman was deliberately
trying to charm the coroner by her
demeanor!
She was beautifully gowned, as al
ways, in black lustreless crepe de
chine. which chung to her beautiful
figure in long sinuous lines and
which. to my imagination; gave her
the effect Of a beautiful serpent. Her
personality affected me ~unpleasantly
and yet absorbed my attention en-
tirely. She was so evidently con-
scious of the effect she produced
that it was as interesting as a play
to watch her.
The very way in which she sat in
her chair was a picture of itself. Bu1
1t was no strained or forced pose
merely the careless grace of a per
fectly poised woman l glanced az
Anne. and was surprised to see thai
she, too. was looking at Mrs. Car.
stairs admiringly. The two won,er
were deadly enemies at heart, and il
seemed to me to indicate a fine, gen
erous nature in Anne to forget he1
prejudice in an honest appreciation
of the others charm.
Mr.. Mellen looked at his witness 9
little uncertainty. Clearly he did no,
understand Mrs. Carstairs, and was
not sure how to address a woman OF
this type.
After the preliminary questions, al
to her position and length of SO.

abruptly:

who IL bound by it a pulpit rather
tain an independent representative Of
his constituents. 1t makes him the
slave of a chance majority. no matter
how that majority may be obtained,
whether by fraud, Misrepresentation
or intimidation: and the Townley man
ayers have used all three. Such a
pledge requires a legislator to vote at
times in opposition to his own convic-
tons n contrary to what he believes
to be his duty to his state and his own
constituents.
There Is n pledge that the new
Official is required to take, and that
pledge is sufficient for every purpose.
1t is, that he will support the constitu-
ton OF the United States and that of
the state of North Dakota. To add to
or subtract from that pledge is to de-
stroy its force and strike at the very
foundations Of our government. for
n Of the essentials Of that govern
ment Is that the lawmaker shall be
absolutely independent, free to use his
W judgment on all questions that
arise, and not to be molested for the
use of his own judgment in perform
ing what he believes to be his duty.
There are two or three questions
which citizens may appropriately ask
of YER maj who presents himself
before them as a candidate for leeis-
1ative honors. Among them are these:
Have you signed a pledge SIM
liar to that signed by L. D. Bailey
OF Burleish county?
a you been asked to sign
this or any similar pledge?
Would you sign such a pledge
II asked to do so?
II you have signed any pledge
with reference to your legislative
work, what is its exact text?
These are things that the people
are entitled to know. They are things
that the people need to know before
tney can pass intelligently on the
and. general fitness of the
men who ask for their supper for
any public position. If these cues
are asked, and if he answers
unsatisfactory. or refuses to answer,
the voters should know what to do
with him without advice from any
quarter.
