IN WALT0N'S CASE
Document Given Supreme
Court Objects to Plea of
0usted Governor.


The Attorney General of Oklahoma
ana officials of the state assembly
who Were in charge of the impeach-
nent trial of Gov. John C. Walton
aled in the Supreme Court yesterday
their objections to the application Of
The former governor for review of
the proceedings.
The brief declared that Walton does
not assert his innocence of the
-tharges nor does he claim he was
wrongfully convicted In the final
analysis the only objection urged by
the former governor, the brief as
serted. is that certain senator's were
disqualified to sit and that the i'm
peachment court refused to permit
my senator to be used as a witness
On either side.
In reply to the first of those points
che brief said the Senate was the
sole Judge of the qualifications of it's
members and that its decision in such
matter was final. 1t also argued the
impropriety of a person sitting as a
Judge appearing as witness in the
@aSe. Had the twenty-eight senators
objected to by the former governor
Jeen QlSqudll1leQ the result would
have been the same, the brief de-
Jared, explaining that on two of the
articles which resulted in his i'm
peachment the>vote had been unani-
nous.
The Supreme Court would not as
sume jurisdiction. the brief stated,
to review the action of state court
which involved the removal of an
0lHccr OF the state. 1t denied that
The former governor had been de-
uriYed of any of his vested rights
.sHaranteed by the Federal Consti-
tuition, and asserted that the only
right he had been deprived of was a
political right conferred on him by
the people of Oklahoma which could
be taken away from him without
raising any question which would
give the federal courts jurisdiction.

 It was Ted Butterfly" wasn't it?" asked the gentleman who always acted as though he were the maih source of wisdom. N
 There must be as many. Butterflys on earth as there are Yarps down home!" asserted the temporary visitor understandingly. You never saw any thing like that Yarp family! Why, if they ever tried extracting the Yarps from that town it would look like a sieve and all the best residence streets would resemble that picture where the lions are prowling alone by moonlight through the desolate ruins of something or other-you've seen it.
 "1'he oldest inhabitant remembers his father telling about. the time when the town was entirely Yarpless and even after the original Yarp appeared he didn't make much of a splash-but when his eight sons and two daughters grew up and married and began to buy baby cabs folks sat up with jerk and took notice. It was exactly as thought some power above with a giant pepper pot had shaken a cloud of Yarps onto the town.
 Nobody could cash check, order pound of butter, buy a new dress, build house or ask if there was any mail without negotiating with Yarp. They were all-pervasive. It was Mrs. Henry Yarp who managed all the church suppers and Mrs. Thomas Yarp who was so interested in uplifting the schools. Tillie Yarp taught basket weav- ing, Melanie Yarp developed a voice and went abroad for it. Edgar Yarp ran the Daily Clarion. Yarp Brothers bought the sash and blind factory, an- other brother owned the hotel and Clar- ence Yarp started an opposition bank.

It was so lonesome up there that it made you re- gret your past life. So when the bag gage man came along to feed crate of hens waiting for the s o'clock train, I was glad to see him.
 Hello. Jim,' I said. Say, I'll betcha dollar that a Yarp shows his head here inside of five minutes You can imagine how bad the day was and how desolate the scene when I tell you that the baggageman who knew all about the Omnipresence of the Yarps, said bed take me and never batted an eye on it. He said he had good use for a dollar right then.

true and strong,

Whose heart is true and strong,
 Who ne'er gives up to grim despair Will find some day that skies are blue
 And all the world is bright and fair. If you don't believe it just ask MT. and. Mrs. Quack. They know. Ger tainly the world never looked darker for any ane than it did for them when the terrible gun of the hunter broke Mir. Quack's wing on the Big river and ended all their dreams of home in the far Northland. Then through the help of Jerry Muskrat they had found the pond of Paddy the Beaver and there, because their secret had been we'll kept, presently they found peace and hope and then happineess. You see the heart of Mrs. Quack was true and brave and strong. She was the kind to make the best of things, and she at once decided that if they couldn't have their home where they wanted it they wonld have it where they could havet it. She was determined that they should have home anyway, and Paddy the Beavers little pond was not such a bad place after all.
 So she wasted no time. She ex- amined every inch. of the shore of that little pond. At last little back from the water she found a place to suit her, place so well hidden by bushes that only the sharpest eyes ever would find it. And a little later it would be still harder to find, as she well knew, for all about clumps of tall ferns were 'springing up, and when they had fully unfolded not even the keen eyes of Sammy Jay looking down from a near-by-tree would be able to discover her secret. There she made nest on the ground, a nest of dried grass and leaves, and lined it with the .softest and most beautiful of Things, down plucked from her own breast. In it she laid ten eggs. Then came along weeks of patient sitting on them, watching the wonder of growing, things about her, the bursting, into bloom of shy wood flowers, the unfolding of leaves on bush and tree, and all the time dreaming beautiful duck dreams of the babies which would one day hatch from those precious eggs. She never left them save to get little food, and just enough exercise to keep her well and strong, and when she did leave them she always carefully pulled soft down over them to keep them warm while she was away.
 MT. Quack knew. all about that nest though he had taken no part in build ing it and had no share in the care of those eggs. < He was very willing that she should do all the work, and and thought it quite sufficient that he should be on guard to give warning if danger should appear. So he spent the long beautiful days lazily swim ming about in the little pond, gossip ing with Paddy the Beaver, and taking the best care of himself. The broken wing healed and grew strong again, for it had not been so badly broken after all. If he missed the company of others of his kind which he would

the next town to see his girl, had caught the slow freight back, which crosses our line at the siding above the depot, and just as he came along dust ing his hands, Alonzo Yarp rattled up in the express wagon with a lot of un- expected boxes, while Dr. Ellis Yarp's sedan broke down just as he crossed the tracks and he had to get out to fix lit. The baggageman declared he'd be. shot dead before he'd ever pay me the $3 due me. 39

The silence following Lois confiden- tial speech was so long that she became uncomfortable. Stealing look at Summers face, she was startled by its gravity.
 "I hope" she said timidly, '.that you are not displeased at my talking to you so freely? I just said what was in my mind-and heart.' 7
 Her tone reused him from his revery.
 Indeed, I am not displeased," he as- sured her. T am honored that you confide in me--and am also g0ateful for your advice with regard to my rec Iommendation of your sister as a teacher. If I seemed grave it was because I was thinking deeply of matter that your remark brought to my mind"
 "Yesw the monysllable suggested well-bred interest, but not the curiosity that. the speaker felt.
 "Yes," the man went on, "There has been movement lately among some of my church people to try to suppress cer- tain types of entertainment going on in this town, at some restaurants, for in stance. At these places liquor is sold in defiance of the law. Yet decent peo- pie have done nothing to bring the law breakers to justice. I have been asked to do my part toward checking this evil"
 1T have heard" Lois ventured, that drinking is allowed at Ralph's."
 ''So have heard" the minister ad- mitted. "Yet-I do not fancy that Ralph's is nearly so bad as some other resorts. I understand that there is a cabaret and dancing-but not of n coarse type, and that while patrons may bring their own liquor, it is not sold there. Of course. you were never in the place"
 "Oh, mo-" the blue eyes were calm as summer skies. "But," with a little smile as of regret, Marian has been there. She told me of it. You see, as an afterthought, she went only for the dancing, and because some of her friends took her. She knows nothing about its reputation one way or the other"
 "Yet," the man opined, flushing slightly, Eff it were not entirely proper, Miss Marian would have denounced it in telling you of her visit"
 Perhaps" Lois agreed. 'tBut," with an indulgent laugh, '.poor dear Marian is so dance-crazy that she would notice

have had during these long days of waiting had they been able to reacn their usual nesting place in the far Northland he never mentioned 1t.
 After that first visit, of which Mir. and Mrs. Quaek knew nothing, Farmer Browns boy came often to the pond of Paddy and was content to sit quietly on the shore and watch Mir. Quack so that Mir. Quack grew quite used to him and did not fear him at all. In fact, after the first few times he made no attempt to hide, for he dis covered that Farmer Browns boy was a friend. Always after he had left there was something good to eat near where he had been sitting, for Farmer Browns boy brought corn and oats and sometimes a handful of wheat.
 He knew, and Mfr. Quack knew that he knew, that somewhere near there was nest, but he did not try to

first, for hardly had they touched the water when they changed into little puppy dogs.
 Do not drink from the little brook !" Raggedy Ann cried to Harry Hooly- gooly and Mrs. Hoolygooly who had gone down the brook a piece to get a drink, 'The brook is a magical brook and the nice fat kind policeman and the Wild Gazook have changed into little puppy dogs,!"
 Of course, when Harry and Mrs. Mrs. Hoolygooly heard Raggedy Ann cry out this warning, they did not drink, but came running back to see the puppy dogs. The Wild Gazook and the nice fat policeman made very cunning little puppy dogs and they jumped about Raggedy Ann and her friends and parked loudly.
 Ut will never do to let them stay puppy dogsw Raggedy Ann said when

Harry Hoolygooly thought it would be nice to take the two puppy dogs home and build Ca dog house for them. So Raggedy Ann hunted through her bas- .ket of magical medicine she had taken from the magician's house, and in a few minutes by putting some of the magical medicine on the puppy dogs, she was able to change them back into the nice fat policeman and the Wild Gazook. These two were very glad to be changed back again, can tell you, for while really puppy dogs like to be puppy dogs and are very cute, anyone who has been a nice fat policeman or a Wild Gazook, does not care to be a puppy dog; not even a nice little fat puppy dog with brown spots on his coat. So now that everyone was happy at the adventure turning out so well, they all again followed the trail of the mean old Magician through the woods.

There was tiny little waterfall and the little brook seemed to be giggling to itself just as if it had funny joke it was keeping secret.
 Indeed, this was just what the tiny little brook was doing, and it giggled quite loud when Raggedy Andy sug- gested that they might all take nice drink from the tiny brook.
 It was so sparkling clear and so cool, the Wild Gazook and the nice fat policeman were so warm from running, they were very glad to find a refresh. ing drink, so without waiting for the others, and especially Mrs. HoOlygooly and Raggedy Ann, the. nice fat police man and the Wild Gazook each took a long drink.
