hugging the tourniQuet-stick against
his side.
He stumbled over the rough ground
until he reached the cleared road
through the trees. Here the going was
easier, but the burden numbed his
right hand and shoulder, the throbbing
pain in his left seemed to beat time to
his footsteps, and the ache of the
cramping muscles increased the agony
of his wound and began to spread
down his body.
A wind sprang up, driving gusts Of
whirling snow into his eyes. A deadly
lethargy was creeping over him, and
presently, turning his head to shield
his eyes from the beating blasts, he
saw a triCkle of crimson on the road
behind him.

was only after an almost superhuman
struggle that he could get Joe over

forced to set the body down again he
could never lift it.

roots of the trees, and reeing
through a swimming world, he stag

At once the fierce swirl of the gale

probes. The ice that fringed his
lashes blinded him and pulled them
from the lids when he tried to open
his eyes. He reeled on, clutching Joes

HIGH TARIFF-HIGH PRICES.

AS the enactment Of the Fordaey-
McCumber Tariff law was preceded by
visible manifestations of higher prices,
and was Immediately followed by
numerous upward movements-the
price profteers could not even wait
until after the election--it is now prac-
tically assured there Will be an era
OF excessive prices during the entire
life Of this law in its present form.
Advances up to last week had been
very noticeable in pork. sugar, butter,
eggs, cotton, steel. iron, aluminium
and various other products. Build
ing materials also have advanced IS
and 90 per cent.
But this condition is merely an evil

was the new Tariff law, with its large

NEWBERRYISM AS AN ISSUE.

The election OF Woodbridge y. Fer
ris, the Democratic candidate for the
Senate, over Charles l.. Townsend,
Republican, gives the result in Michi-
gan a remarkable significance of its
own. It was in Michigan that the
Newberry crime against the ballot was
committed. and it was in Michigan
that Newberry was convicted and sent
enced to prison. and where he would
have been punished had not the Su-
preme Ccurt given a decision upon
purely technichal grounds that saved
him from that disgrace and ignominy.
When the Senate came to pass on
the Newberry case the large and con-
venient Republican majority came to
his rescue in sufficient numbers TO
apply a coat OF whitewash and TO save
him from expulsion from his seat.
His colleague, Senator Townsend, who
voted for Newberry, has now fallen
before the wrath of the voters of his
State and Ex-Governor Ferris. who
defeated him, will go TO the Senate
with fresh mandate from his consti-
tuency, for the issue In Michigan was
Newberry and not much else.
When Mr.. Ferris takes his seat>in
the Senate he will find the Democrats
there greatly strengthened as a re-
suit of Tuesdays election. II seems
certain that he will question anew
the right OF Newberry to a seat in the
Senate, and the fight will be on again
So it was in the case of Lorimer. Of
Illinois. The first time the effort was
made to effect his removal he was
able to muster up enough sympathetic
votes on the Republican side TO saw,
his face for the time being. With Sen

THE NEXT CONGRESS.

While Tuesdays elections played
havoc in the overwhelming Republican
majority in the House OF Representa-
tives and heavily reduced the large
Republican margin in the Senate, it
is now known the next Congress will
be Republican in both branches. But
the Republican majority in the Senate
will be only eight. instead of "a as at
present, while the overwhelming Re-
publican majority in the House has
been so dissipated it may not be more
than half dozen when the final re-
suits become definitely known.
Possibly it is best that the Republi-
can majority in both branches Of Con-
gress, thus so impressively reduced.
has not been altogether obliterated.
1t leaves fun responsibility upon the
Republican administration. And with
such heavily impaired majorities, the
Republican party will not be in posi-
ton to aflict the country with mis-
chievous legislation, directed to the
profit OF special interests and against
the welfare Of the people.
Indeed, it is probable the next Con-
gress will find 1t impossible to enact
any kind of partisan legislation. Its
meagre majorities will be very un-
certain. The radical elements included
in those partisan majorities Will be
more insistent than ever, and THEN
demands will incite opposition among
the conservative members Of the ma
jority. And with radical legislation
thus checked and partisan Legislation
/ barred, II should be possible To restrict
the work of Congress TO Legislation

NEWBERRY AGAIN.

The Newberry case, which was sup
posed to have been settled when the
United States Senate, by a bare major
ity. seated the Michigan Senator but
felt impelled TO adopt a resolution
roundly condemning the corrupt and
lawless expenditures Of money that at
tended his election, again comes 70 the
front as result of Tuesdays election.
Newberryism was a potent issue dur
ing the campaign, and aided materi-
ally in securing a large number of
Democratic triumphs, and now it may
again come before the Senate for an
other and more righteous determine
ton.

who were elected in the sweeping
landslide was former Governor Wood

Ferris, on assuming office next March,
proposes to reopen the Newberry con-
test. with a view to unseating him.
and he believes the changes In the
Senate membership wrought by the
election will assure success to the
movement.
There is good ground for this be-

to hear limitations from Washington
that Newberry will anticipate this ac-
ton by voluntarily resigning his pur-

NO NEED FOR ONE.

1t was said before election that
President Harding would call Congress
in special session on November 20, for
the purpose ot considering the Ship
Subsidy bill and other measures in
which he had a concern. Yesterday
he ordered the call.
AS Congress VIII assemble in regular
session on the first Monday in Deem
Der, there is no occasion for a brief
special session. It will only pile
up expenses unnecessarily, and fur
nish members with a pretext for charg-
ing extra mileage, even should the
special session continue to the hour
of adjournment and reassembling in
regular session. This happened once
before. when a memorable record was
made in creating a constructive re-

CANADA'S NEW HONOR.

Canada, Great Britains most inn
portant Dominion, has been granted a
new honor, which in effect raises that
country almost to tho dignity OF a naH
ton. Power has been conferred upon
the Dominion government to appoint
a Minister or a High Commissioner
with ministerial power, as her direct
diplomatic representative at Washing
ton.
Canada has long been one OF the
most independent OF Great Britain's
colonial possessions. Her government
is practically complete in it's Legislative
and administrative powers, the Gov
ernor-Gencral, who Is the direct repre-
sentative of the British Crown, being
always In accord with the Dominion
Ministry. whose acts he approves as

their national status: Daughter in
