The November election being
over, candidates for Governor
will now come to the front.
There are four or five gentlemen
in the Democratic party who
have been favorably mentioned
in connection with the race, and
we take it that in a very short
time there will be two or more
announced candidates. Judging
from expressions we haye read
there are as many as three who
stand in the same attitude as did
Barkis when he was courting
Peggotty.

THOMAS NELSON Page.
[EvENING POST. ]

Thomas Nelson Page, whose
death was announced yesterday,
had not, in many years, publish
ed anything worthy of his early
fame, and had for some time
been considered something of a
back number" by the younger
and more pushing men and
women in American literature.
Mr.. Page was not a man of
the literary genius of Rudyard
Kipling, but there were points
of similarity between the two.
MIR. KipIing knew British India
as it was a few decades ago as
did no other English man of let
ters, and he made a great repu-
tation writing ABOUT a subject he
fully understood. His fame de-
clined when he attempted to
write about other things Now
Thomas Nelson Page knew the
old South, as it was Immediately
before the Civil War, during
that war and while passing
through the deep waters of re-
construction, as has no other
man who, in our time, has tried
his hand upon that subject.
Like Kipling, Mr.; Page tried to
write about Othe9 subjects and
failed much more plainly than
did Mr.. Kipling.,
Mr.. Pages short stories of the
old South should never be allow
ed to die. They make up a part
of what is best in American lit
erature, and they rank so much
above other stories Of the same
period that some critics were,
for a time, inclined to place
their author perhaps higher
than he deserved. "Red Rock, 4"
Mr.. Pages novel of reconstruc-
ton, is really his best work.
Lacking something of the charm
of his shorter stories, it is an in
teresting, soberly written nara
tive in fiction form of one of the
most important of one Of the
darkest chapters in American
history. And where Mr.. Page
deserves the highest praise is
that he wrote of reconstruction
without single effort to kindle
race prejudice, or leave a legacy

CHAPTER XIV.

"God-Almighty., Polly brat!" ex-,
claimed Larry Bishop one evening,
o'what made you come out night like
this,s huh?"
The girl went to lie stove and In
silence extended herhands over Its top.
whats up, 'Pollyop?" the man de-
manded again, cnromty, dropping into
a chair. "YoH look something awful"
Aid so she, did, The long-lashed
eyes. had gathered and held an indefin-
able. expression of hatred. The fair,
lovely face knew tender sympathy no
more. She was no longer Polly of the
Sun. For her that orb had become
merely BALI In the sky, hot like the
stove and bright like the candle flame,
only more so. Nor did the1pale winter
moon ever catch her dazzling smiles.
The wlnking stars had forgotten weeks
ago that once squatter girl had stolen
out nightly to throw upward a KISS,
begging them to deliver 1t to the cruel
fed. one there beyond them--the good
Jesus who sat on the golden throne
and. who had sent her the message by
Granny Hope that''"Eove were strong
err hate any day.. -,
AS usual her feet were in Jeremiah's
boots, and as usual she wore his coat.
Her curls were covered with snow,
and as she studied the dark-faced man
she shook drops of water from them,
She advanced toward him. choking
with semotion. Since Wee Jerry had
gone, her hours, spent In planning re-
venge,- had completely exhausted her.
She was so tired thato when she
reached Larry she crOuched before
him on the feor and turned pale, be-
seeching face up to him.
1--WE come, Larry Bishop she be-
gan gravely, ito ask you to help me TO
even up a little with Old Marc"
The sauatter's head went up, and a
startled expression shot into his herce
ewes. Then he sank lower in his chair,
and the fire died out of his counte-
nance.
"Who can get even with that d-n
brute?" he muttered after While
"SquatterS can't! We'd all go to Au-
burn il we muss mp him or his'n."
A white young face showed so close
TO his that Bishop drew back.
"Who cares d-n about Auburn !
Pollyop exclaimed roughly. I'VE won
go there till we've tore Old Mares
heart to pieces an made it hurt like
yours does, Larry, like mine does FOL

wiped his wet lips.

groan. You can turn the trick; L

If jeremiah Hopkins had seen his
girl, his Polly of the Sun, when she
went home that night, he would not
have recognized her. Her face was
crafty, pitiless, and as white as the
snow under her feet.
Then she waited stoically day after
day, feeding the billy goat but absent
mindedly, asking no questions OF Larry
or Lye Braeger how soon her idea
could be carried out. She believed
that they would leave no stone un-
turned to even up with Marcus Mac
Kenzie.

burst into the Hopkins hut without the

older than he had but yesterday; and

COUNTY SCHOOL UNITS
URGED BY PROF. BLACK

COLUMBUS, Ind. Dec. 21-The
county as a unit OF school taxation
and administration was urged by
Professor ". W. Black. head Of the
department OF education OF Indiana
University in an address az the noon
luncheon Of the Columbus Chamber
OF Commerce. Wednesday. Professor
Black asserted that the present town
ship unit IS wasteful. and that II
does not provide efficient education
methods.
The township trustee system was
sharply attacked by Professor Black,
who asserted that expecting a minis
ter 10 be a good banker would be as
directed under the present system
to make a good supervisor OF
schools. He praised the trustees as
individuals but insisted that the
system itself is detrimental 10 school
interests
To replace the present township
and state trustee system, Professor
Black proposed to have the county
the school unit. The county school
board would employ a superinten-
dent, just as the city board now en-
ploys a superintendent, and the
county superintendent would have
authority over all county schools.
The rural school system OF the
state. from the one-roOm school TO
the state department, is shot through
and through with party and personal
politics." Professor Black asserted
