II CANYON TRAIL

Do YOU remember, Pard o. Mine, the
dear old canyon trail?
The trail we followed together many
a year?
Or have you forgotten, dear old Pard
o. Mine,
The wild old canyon trail, and the
canyon we held so dear?
Out in Wyoming's Rockies, where
Heaven is mighty near,
Where many a danger turks along the
path,
The dear old canyon trail, its rugged,
winding length,
With mountains on each side, the en-
blem of Gods wrath.
Where are you now, Pard o. Mine?
We parted long ago
And you have never written, Pard o.
Mine,
But my heart is just as rue to you
and to the trail.
| am waiting, dear Trail Pal, for a
sign.

lin humanity-awaited many a soldie
who had counted upon his better half
to KEEP the home fires burning.
But even in the true 'Enoch Arden
stories there has seldom, il ever, ap
peared more impressive suggestion Of
subimity than that afforded by recent
account of the situation which a Georgia
Judge found at home upon his return
from an unnamed island upon which he
had been shipwrecked.
Absent many months on cruise in
snail boat, with no word from or OF
him reaching his family, he was thought
to have been lost at sea. But n few
days ago he Showed up in his home
town. What did he find there? Doubt
less he had expected, at best, TO find
his accustomed means of livelihood re-
moved from his reach. Perhaps his home
had tcon sold for taxes, or something.
1t would not be proper to speculate uron
what he may have thought about his
family.
Actually, no outrageous misfortune OF
any kind was awaiting him. He was able
to take up the threads OF his affairs just
where he had dropped them. Had some
of his friends. his fellow-townsmen. kept
his business in order although they had
accounted him dead? Not that exactly.
albeit they must have helped. Helped
whom?
The Judge had a wife, helpmcct, a
partner. She, too, had given him up as
dead-a victim of a storm at sea. What
had become of his office, his govern
mental position?
His term OF office was about to ex-
pire. Doubtless there were other men
who aspired to it. But he, found him
seli-in effect-again candidate for
the bench and with excellent chances
OF being "re-elected.'
Briefly, his wife, his helpmeet, his
partner, had "announced.' She had
stepped into his place as candidate.
She would fill his position, do his work,
carry out his purposes, project his repu-
tation.
So, his return from the limbo of the
lost was like an awakening from an evil
dream. No disagrceable complex to
face, no sacrifice to make, no ordeal to
undergo.
Some alleged wit has said. "a wo-
mans only woman How cheap that

UNFAIR! UNFAIR!

1t makes a lot of difference in this
world who is made the object of criti-
cism.
Stree the opening of the present Con-
greSs it has attended to but little husi-
ness, comparatively speaking. Members
of both parties have for months been
engaged in a mud-slinging contest ar
ranged chiefly for political parties. There
has been nobody that members of the
ElCrse and Senate have hesitated to
make target for charges of all Sinds.
:Attorncy-General Daugherty has been
assailed in the most bitter manner and
he is now being investigated" as
thcrgh he was a criminal and the House
voted to commence the investigation al
though it had not single concrete fact
upon which to base its vote. It may
find something against Daugherty but it
began to investigate him before it had
anything.
For months DENLY and Daugherty
have been charged with all sorts of
crimes. Constant yells have been made
for theii designations and nothing has
been proved against either man.
In both the House and Senate the
most unfounded charges have been made
against President Coolidge, when the
men who made them knew they had
nothing upon which to base them.
Now, however, insinuations have been
thrown out against the moral purity of
two members of the House. Instantly
Congressman Upshaw of Georgia rises
to his feet to make an imprisoned pro-
test against "this campaign of unbound
ed SANDER against members of this
House"
That, it seems. is Something else
again" when something is alleged against
members of the House. 1t is all right
for Congressman to rend the air with
shriekings against this person and that
person, to hurl mud in all directions. to
demand designations Of cabinet Officers.
to attempt to smirch the President OF
the United States-but for anybody to
say anything against u couple of con-
grcssmcn-that is treading on holy
ground. oh. surely, yes.
1t surely does make lot OF differ
ence whose on is gored.

Mr.. Etheredge sat down and
studied his friend, pursuing his lips.
"And all this for prude who has
no notion of being kind! Let me
perish, Bucks, but 1 don't know

Etheredge got up, and went to set
a hand upon his arm.

you must have some definite purpose
in your mind. What is it,"
"What was in my mind before you
came to trouble it. George. To end
the matter where / should have be-
gun it," And he adapted three lines
of Suckling's:
"If of herself she will not love,
Myself shall make her,
The devil take her" p
Etheredge shrugged in despair
and disgust.
"Ye're not only mad, Bucks" said
he. "Ye're coarse. l warned you
once of the dangers of this thing.

in hell. She INDUCES q cruel and per-
verse zest to torture q man whors
she sees perishing of love for her."
He paused moment, to pursue with
even greater fierceness, his face livid
with the working of the emotion that
possessed him-that curious and
fearful merging of love and hatred
that is so often born of baffled pas
sion. 81 could tear the jade limb

A FARCICAL INVESTIGATION

1t 1t is true, as indicated by reports
from Washington. that alleged or posi-
bic irregularities in the issuing of crop
estimates are to be investigated bv a
committee of experts chosen from the
department under whose auspices such
estimates were made. then it would seem
pertinent to suggest that the investi-
gators themselves be investigated.
The ramifications of suspicion attach
ing to various governmental offices have
become so complex as to battle the av-
erage lay citizen-the man who paws
the bills. Small wonder if he should
lose faith in Official Investigations as
means of cleaning house"
Whether experts appointed to in
vestigate the activities of men in their
own department would give a thorough
iy disinterested report in any given case
F., should not be a question at issue But
as a matter of policy they should be
disqualified for any such enterprise. Nor
would such disqualification reflect anv
discredit upon them as individuals. As
between member of that department
and non-member, which one would.
as matter of common sense, be in a
position to make the more searching in
vestigation and disclose more fully any
irregularities that might have been prac.
ticed in that department?
he answer partakes Of the nature OF
all axiom. 1t is so obvious as to make
proof unnecessary if not impossible. 1t
is largely matter of instinct.
An investigation of the sort reported
to have been proposed would be farci-
cal in form if not a farce in actual ef-
feet. 1t were better to have no investi-
CATION at all than one which would
whitewash anybody who had for any
reason, or for no Ubiquitous reason al
all, padded the actual facts concern
ing the country's stock of cotton. For
such an investigation would encourage
the dishonest or the incompetent, giving
them feeling OF security in which they
might multiply and aggravate any IT.
Irregularities of which they had been
guilty.
If there is to be any investigation al
all, it should be conducted by men who
have had no kind of connection or asso.
citation, either personal or institutional
with those who are under suspicion. To
inquire into the practices OF the cror
estimators on any other basis would be
to add insult TO the injury which it is
alleged the farmers and the people OF
this country have already suffered by
reason of erroneous ''official" reports.

A GEORGIA HEROINE

The tale of Enoch Arden has been
parodied, in both general philosophical
import and narrowing details, many a
time and oft since modern man lost
moral and perspective in an orgy OF
cupidity, hate and bloodshed. The varia-
tons have been innumerable. Now and
then the charitable spirit of Enoch mani
tests itself in actual experiences; utterly
unselfish love comes into evidence, and
sometimes is bestowed upon those who
deserve it not. But in perhaps most OF
the stories of such adventures, or mis-
adventures, since the men who faced
death on European battlefields came
kooping home with visions of the beau
tific life they longed to resume, there has
been large element OF the sordid
Tragedy, or its next of kin-loss of faith

FEDERAL INVESTIGATIONS.

Washington, filled with suspicion
and rumor, does not attract prospec-
tive appointees to high federal gov
eminent positions. They are wary
about the national capital for fear
that they will be summoned before a
Senate committee and examined as
to their past life before the Senate
votes to confirm their nomination by
the President. That there may be
nothing to hide does not alter the sit
uation They do not like that sort
of inGuisition. Three men are under
stood TO have notified the President
in the last few days that they did not
care to be considered as possible sue
,cessors to Secretary DENLY, Of the
Navy Department.
The situation is not difficult to I'M
derstand, with many Senate inquiries
already under way and more being
proposed almost daily. Doubtless it
would not exist had it not been for
revelations concerning navy oil land
grants. There is now hesitancy to OPP
pose any investigation proposed. be-
cause an impression might be given
that an effort is being made TO con-
ceal something that the public has
a right to know. Yet it will be well
for the Senate to use discretion. I'm
less there are substantial reasons for
examining into the conduct of differ
ent agencies, which ought to be set
forth, no examination should be or
dered. There was no cause to inquire
into the American peace award made
by Edward w. Box, but there is suf-
ficient to justify an inquiry into the
Department of Justice.
While it is better to have too many
investigations than to permit incom-
potency and possibly corruption to es-
cape exposure, there, is plenty of room
for a wise exercise of discretion
