The books Of few authors ever
achieve a sale Of 100000 copies-
Fewer still are the authors who live
to see such popularity. Yet this tai
ented daughter Of the Empire state
has lived to see it and the end is not
yet, for she continues to write and
sales show no diminishment. 1t all
started with "Tess of the Storm
Country" That story made the for
tune Of a magazine for women which
ran it serially. Moving picture pro-
ducers and players have also gained
fame and fortune through it. A later
romance, "The Shadow of the Shell

charming, pathetic little heroine very
much like "Tess." We propose that

At BeIIingham.

BELLINGHAM. Wash. Sept. IL
Government must never be at the
mercy OF lower or an upper mob,
Gov. James NJ. Cox. Democratic nomi-
nee for President, declared in a speech
here today, and asserted that IL Gov
ernment is kept always responsible to
the will OF the people there will be
neither exploitation Of the worker nor
injustice to the employer.
Evidence purporting to show that
Seattle has raised $50, 900 Of its $685.
900 allotment was submitted by Gov
ernor Cox In the form of a letter
which he said was signed by II. +.
Alexander, chairman OF the Rcpubli-
can finance committee, and in the
same document the quota OF Pierce
county. Wash, was given as $4,000.
"I hold" said Governor Cox, that
in the United tSates there Is no call
for extreme radicalism. II govern
ment is fair, there will be no specia!
privilege and certainly no unfair ad-
vantage to anyone. Just as surely as
the pendulum swings TO the extreme
right in favoritism and unfair privi-
lege, there is certain to result a
swing to the extreme left OF radical
ism with resultant smash"
The. purpose Of government as a
democracy, the governor continued. is
to hold the scale OF justice true. To
give every person OF every class
opportunity to achieve happiness, is
the only way, he said.

WOMAN TO Be
NEW D. c. HEAD
Miss Boardman, Red Cross o.
ficiaI, Said to Have Ac-
Cepted Post.

Miss Mabel T. Boardman, the new
District Commissioner, will begin her
duties Immediately upon her arrival
from her summer home in Canada.
Miss Boa rdman win arrive in Wash
ington on September "a
From her home at Pointe Au Pic,
Murray Bay. Provincssef Quebec, Can
ada, today Miss Boa rSlman said that
she had accepted the place In the
District gover~n4e 1dt did not know
whether she was going to succeed
Commissioner Brownlow or Commits
sioner Gardiner.
She said that she would resign from
the secretaryship of the American Ma
tional Red Cross, but would keep up
her activities with the District Chap
ter.
Miss Boardman said that she had
made no definite plans for work in the
District government, preferring to
look over the situation after she ar
rived here.
Much speculation was INDUCED IN
here today when it was learned that
Miss Boardman would not arrive here
until September "a as to the status
of things between September 10.
when Commissioner Brownlow leaves,
and when Miss Boardman arrives.
During that time the District will be
without a quorum for doing business,
as Colonel Kutz will be the only men,
Der of the board. The law requires
two members to transatc business.
1t Is not known here whether Miss
Boa rdman has been appointed to sue
ceed Commissioner Brownlow or to
fill the vacancy left by Commissioners
Gardiner. 1t is supposed that IL the
President is going to appoint two
Commi issioners at this time he Will
appoint Democrat to succeed Brown
low. and give Miss Boardman the
place left vacant by the recent resig-
nation OF Commissioner Gardiner
This theory is based upon the fact
that the successor of Commissioner
Gardiner will not receive pay for the
time the lob is held unless the ap-
pointment 10 confirmed by the Senate
Then the nominee will receive back
pay. Miss Boardman is wealthy, and
one of the few available appointees
who could afford to take the place on
these conditions.
The first inkling of the appoint
ment of Miss Boardman is said to
have come from a woman high in the
councils of the Red Cross, who re-
ceived word from Miss Boardman that
she had been offered and h&d accept
ed the place.
1t is probable the President will
appoint a Democrat to the other Com
n.issionership, as Miss Boardman is a
Republican and warm personal
friend Of former President Taft Miss

Prostrated-Police Fear Riots
When End Comes.

LONDON, Sept. l1.-Terence Nc
Swiney, hunger-striking lord mayor
of Cork, suffered a sharp relapse in
Brixton Jail infirmary this after
noon. Annie McSwiney, a sister
left the infirmary at $40 o'clock

ing precautionary measures to cope
with riots about the jail when the
lord mayor dies
McSwiney, who has been on a
hunger strike for thirty days, again
spent a restless night. He slept Mt
fully and was very weak.
McSwiney's iron will to defy the
British government to death shows
no sign OF weakening. He made II
known to his wife that he would die
rather than make any promises to
the government that would gain his
release.
SEEDS MESSAGE TO BROTHER.

lowing message to his Oldest
brother, Peter, who lives in New
York:
''ln life or in death the victory
is ours. In death we shall be ever
greater. This makes ur end happy
God is watching over us, and In
