Michigon's Expensive Senator

WHEN the liberalism Of the Republican
" party was complaining bitterly last spring
that the seating Of Senator Newberry was
party crime the reply Of the Old Guard was
that the Newberry issue was joke. II surely
was a side splitter, but it split the Repuo-
lcan side. OF the dozen senator's who voted
for Newberry and who came up for election
this autumn only four will be able to answer
to the roll call after next March. Those who
voted for Newberry and are out Of the Senate
by reason Of the primary or the election or
other causes are Calder, France, Freyling-
huysen. Kellogg, McCumber, New, Page, Poin-
dexter and Townsend. Lodge who also voted
for Newberry, ran disgracefully behind the
Republican ticket and may have contest ON
his hands. Pepper, who voted for Newberry,
had been in the Senate but few days when.
he cast the vote. Only Pepper, Mclean and
Hale from Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
Maine. rock-ribbed, hard-boiled Republican
states, are back in their seats without risk
or danger But those Senators who came
from states that know any sort Of political
variableness and shadow Of turning, states
where the Republicans have any moral sense,
either went down or barely squeaked in il

dences of politics that the extremes Of politics
always hope to sec each other win over the
moderates. The dripping red would rather see
the ultraconservative come back than the
bourgeoise. And Ludendorfr would naturally
rather see Bolshevism descend upon Germany
than to have the present middle class govern
ment stand the strain Of the coming winter.
Il is easy to explain this desire Of the ex-
tremsts for their antipathes to win. For they
both know that the middle group will not al
ways stand for either of the extremes, and in
the melee Of tipping over the house the "outs
expect to get in. Politics is a great game If
you don't weaken, and If you want job badly
enough you never do weaken. Hence the
Reds cheer for the monarchists, and the tories
hope for the triumph Of the Reds.

"HERE are some variations Of the con-
ventional double which are but little
- known and therefore seldom used. This
is partly due to the fact that the nice
ties Of the convention are too deep for the
average player and partly to the fact that
they may not be correctly understood.
One Of these is the double Of a suit after
having denied or assisted the partners bid.
Take this case: The dealer bids heart; sec
ond hand, spade: third hand, two hearts;
fourth hand and dealer, passing.
What has the third hand assisted upon? The
dealer may be able to guess from his own
cards that his partner has helped him on
strength in particular suit, say, diamonds,
as the dealer himself has clubs. But it may be
on ability TO ruff something. At least he has
three or more hearts. The second hand goes
on to two spades and third hand doubles.
Now it is perfectly clear to the dealer that
part of the strength that assisted the hearts is
sure trick in spades, or perhaps two tricks.
1t is therefore up TO the dealer to leave the

The Great American Desert

LROM an esteemed contemporary in Scot
land, "The Aberdeen Free Press" we take
an account Of lecture given by person who
is called "Lord Shaw" He is talking to the
"Torphins NJ /. Association" which sounds
like something particularly good to eat out
OF Dickens novel. In the course Of his re-
marks Lord Shaw" who has crossed the
American continent, told his auditors about
his Western trip. "The Free Press" quotes
him thus:
"From Chicago they journeyed to Kansas,
and here they traversed an altogether differ
ent kind of country. 1t is the NO Mans Land
--nothing but vast expanse Of sagebrush
and scrub: everywhere the blazing sun, every
where the barren earth, and, except for the
prairie dogs, nc. signs Of life for journey
of 1000 miles"
Probably lord Shaw did not mean to in
clude Kansas in the great American desert.
For II he cared to look out Of the window he
would find in Kansas about the same kind
Of a country that one sees in Iowa, Ohio OF
Michigan. save that the trees are not forest
trees and were set out generation ago BY
the homesteaders. But west of Kansas,
through Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona ana
eastern California, a casual traveller might
think the country is something like the pic
ture which "Lord Shaw" paints. From
train window il does look bleak; blazing sun
does seem to scar and blister the landscape,
and there is to the casual eye mo sign OF
lie for a thousand miles, But to the seeing
eye, to the traveller who knows the country
this vast senni-arid region is the most unique
and interesting part Of our American civili-
zation.

ican desert are hundred good httie 'o"hs'

In this case the double is a half-and-half
affair. 1t is willing to be taken as a business
double well able to defeat the spade contract,
or to be accepted as hint to the original bid
der to size up his chances of going game in
hearts, with the assistance shown.
Another form of the double much more used
is when the dealers no-trumper is overcalled
by an ask for lead on his right. say, two
spades If the dealer says nothing his part
ner should be very strong to put in bid be-
cause If the dealer wants him to bid he will
double the two spades.
This says to tho third hand: Il have to drop
my no-trumper unless you can stop those
spades twice. But what have you got in
hearts or, failing them, in a minor suit?"
In this case the dealer is not asking his
partner to support the nO-trumper, except
under the rather improbable circumstances
that he could twice stop named suit that will
be led through him, or can stop it once and
has remarkable cards somewhere else.
But there is another case in which the double
does not ask the partner to support the deal
er's original call. Suppose the dealer bids a
spade and second hand says two hearts, both
the other players passing. II the dealer
doubles the hearts he says TO his partner "If
you cannot support my spades what have you
got?"
The usual answer IS to cali the longest suit.
But this is a mistake If the long suit is a minor
suit and there is anything as good as average
in trumps. Take the hand in the first column.
Y dealt and bid heart, a a spade and Y
two hearts. Y has not much beyond ultimate
shoppers in the suits. but he has four trumps

When and 4 passed A doubled and Y
passed.
This double says to b: "You did not help
my spades, so suppose you have not the usual
strength required for an assist; but what
have you got?"
The mistake made by three players 10 whom
this situation came up was to bid the diamonds.
But the diamond suit is not worth anything
as a game-going suit, and one should never
forget that the object Of all bidding is to get
n game. going contract. Two players who un-
derstood the intention Of the double went TO
two spades, showing that they had enough to
have supported spades in the first place, had
they had anything outside. The double says:
"Never mind about the outside if you have
some spades"
The bidding at this table was carried to four
spades over four hearts. II is game hand in
hearts, as z gets a club discard on the da-
monds It is also game hand in spades IL
the trumps are not led too often. Here is how
it went at four spades:
got the first trick with the ace Of hearts
and put dummy in with the king Of trumps to
lead club. Not Knowing A was out Of hearts,
z won the club and led another heart. A
trumped and led another club, holding with
the eight 1t does not matter What he does
next. The third club is trumped, establishing
the queen, losing diamond at the erd.
This is the solution TO Problem No. 132, in
which hearts were trumps, z TO lead and w
to win all the tricks.
The situation in this problem demands some
method Of getting 20 discard before 2. and
the only-way TO accomplish this is =, to ar
range matters that z can get rid Of the king
" clubs. In this respect the problem some
what resembles No. 100.

whatever A plays and leads two rounds of
trumps. On the first Of these z discards the

The Senate Radicals

HAT a gang of highbinders and
M hatchct-throwing tongmen is gath
" ering in the United States Senate
w under. the Republican banner these
days. The hold-over Republican radicals are
Cspper, Borah, Ladd, La Toilette, johnson
and Norris; the new radicals are Shpstead,
of Minnesota; Howell, Of Nebraska; Brook
hart Of Iowa, and Frazier, Of North Dakota,
IL he wins And not far from these scouts and
pioneers Of reform are Lenroot, Cunmins,
Mccormick and Pepper, who arc much more
than mildly progressive. These men are so
placed geographically that their Republican
colleagues in adjacent states, or in the states
where a liberal is planted, fear TO follow the
reactionary program too closely. So they are
irving distinctly liberal cast TO the Senate
Among the Democrats arc dozen other
fairly liberal Senators, but none OF the La
Toilette, Norris, Capper, Ladd, Frazier type.
These Democrats, men like Kendrick, Pitnan,
Pat Harrison and three or four Of the newly
elected Democrats like Ralston, Of Indiana,
who got the labor vote from Beveridge; Cope
land, who defeated Calder, and Ferris, who
comes from Michigan to rebuke Newberry, are
men of liberal tendencies. They will join the
non-partisan Republicans above named quickly
on any proposition to defeat the Old Guard OF
either party In the Senate easily are thirty
votes which will 60 with the Democrats or the
Republicans for any progressive measure
Party lines rest loosely upon the backs OF these
thirty Senator's. And for that matter, they
rest even more slackly upon the backs Of the
reactionary Senators Of both old parties If il
is necessary to put across a genuinely reac-
tionary proposal.
AS matters stand to-day, parties mean 50
little in the Senate and so little back home
among the people that it is odd to see the party
managers going through the idle mummery Of
party organization. Yet with all its false
face front. party organization is still power
full piece Of machinery. You cannot elect a
Republican in Texas nor Democrat in Iowa.

towns that range in population from five hun
dred 10 a quarter Of million are most ex-
ouisitey set among the mountains and
around these towns is an agriculture that
harks back to the time of Abraham. For the
cattle range upon thousand hills. In the
valleys alfalfa, wheat and sugar beets thrive.
And the wealth of the region is distributed
so fairly among the people that no Utopian

Queries and AnstUers
PINocHLE

Question-why is it not right to count 240
for the round trip and yet right to count 100
for the trump sequcnce?-W. +. c.
Answer-All pinochle melds in any form Of
the game are governed by the same rules.
The rule that covers these cases is that there
must be at least one fresh card from the hand
for each additional med called and scored.
You cannot score 300 with four kings and
queens under this rule. Try it But you can
score $50 and 40, or 1870, for the trump
sequence.
