The point also Is made that hotels do
not look upon tipping as compulsory,

not. Only it has become customary

CHAPTER Ill
Reflections and an Encounter.

Reflections and an Encounter.
The sun was barely above the east
ward wall Of trees when Kenneth and
his man rode away from the home Of
Phineas Striker.
The master was in a thoughtful,
troubled mood. What he had just heard
from the lips of the settler disturbed
him greatly. That beautiful girl his
half-sister! The child of his own fa-
ther and the hated Rachel Carter Ra-
chel Carter, the woman he had been
brought up to despise, the harlot who
had stolen his father away, the scarlet
wanton at whose door the death Of his
mother was laid! That evil woman,
Rachel Carter!
Could she, this foulest Of thieves, be
the mother of so lovely, so sensitive, so
perfect a creature as Viola Gwyn?
He revisualized the woman he had
known in his earliest childhood
Strangely enough, the face of Rachel
Carter had always remained more firm
ly more indelibly impressed upon his
memory than that Of his own mother
This queer, unusual circumstance
may be easily, reasonably accounted
for his grandfather's dogged, almost
daily lessons in hate. He was not al
lowed to forget Rachel Carter-nOt for
one instant. Always she was kept be-
fore him by that bitter, vindictive old
man who was his mothers father
even up to the day that he lay on his
deathbed. Small wonder, then, that his
own mothers face had faded from his
memory while that Of Rachel Carter
remained clear and vivid as he had
known 1t now for twenty years.
Then there had been little Minda-
tiny Minda who existed vaguely as a
name, nothing more. He had dim
recollection of hearing his elders say
that the babe with the yellow curls
had been drowned when a boat turned
over far away In the big brown river.
Some one had come to his GRANDPA
theirs house with the news. He re-
called hearing the talk about the acci-
dent, and his grandfather lifting his
fist toward the sky and actually blam-

lovelorn friend knew him ALSO"
The other was silent for half a
dozen PAGES, looking straight ahead.
"Yes," said he, with curious delib-
Grafton. "She was sayin' as how she
told you a lot about him last night
what sort Of a man he was, an all
that"
"She told me nothing that"
"Jist. a moment, Mr.. Gwynne," said
Striker, laying his hand on the riders
knee. Kenneth drew rein. II guess
maybe you didn't know who she was
talkin' about at the time, but 1t was
your father she was describin'. We
all three knowed somethin' that you
didn't know, an it's only fair fer me
to tell you the truth. now that she's

play. Perhaps she is over there, even
now She and Viola. 1t is not likely
that they would have started for town

And so they rode again, at times
breaking into a smart canter where
the road was solid, but for the most
part proceeding with irksome slowness
through the evil slough. Ahead lay the
dense wood they were to traverse be-
fore coming to the town.
Suddenly Zachariah called his mas
ter's attention to a horseman who rode
swiftly. even recklessly, across the
fields to their left and well ahead Of
them. They watched the rider with in

Half an hour later Kenneth and his

barnyard and prepared to depart.

HEADLINING SINS
BY n. ID. Cochran

Much of the criticism Of newspapers and the kind
of news they publish can be traced to a very common
trait in human nature-a disposition regulate the
lives Of Others to make them live think they
ought to live.
If we happen to be so constituted mentally that
we don't like to read about crime then think
people ought not to want to read about crime; and
even If they do want to do something don't want
to do, we don't think they ought to do it.
Sometimes it is even worse than that. If we could
read the secret thoughts Of others would probably
find that reformers eritcse others for doing what
reformers would really like to do, but afraid

Human nature is weak We all admit that We

Ten Commandments sought to restrain people from
doing things they do but in the light Of
human experience ought not to do. If hadn't been
the disposition Of people to do these things
mandments would not have been necessary.
Newspapers publish the acts that people were
interested in and talked about among themselves be-
fore there were any newspapers; and human nature
hasn't changed fundamentally since the days of the
cave man and his woman.
The Bible itself is full of human interest stories
dealing with all the dispositions of human nature that
the Ten Commandments sought to curb Some Of the
pous critics of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass
attach holy significance to the Song of Solomon and
think it is all right. But they'd kick If a newspaper
told the same story or sang the song in modern

The stories in the Old Testament dealt with life as
the people Of those days lived life. The time any
mention was made of anybody laughing, 1 ren1em-

didn't have babies then any than they do now;

papers printed story about who had been

stronger than in any other State He Is intelligent
and he is honest.
But how does great part Of the country see
him?
Particularly how does the South, home of Demo
cratic hopes, see him, AS Catholic and opponent
of prohibition. Neither of these two attributes has
made Smith any less the champion of the plain c.ti-
zen's interests Neither has DETECTED him from a
true course. Neither would prevent him serving the
whole citizenship of America as President.
But they do put up the bars against his candidacy
for the presidency at this time
The two prejudices, neither Of which ever should
have been allowed to obtrude in the Democratic
party, to eliminate the one outstanding rarty
leader. What be offered in his stead? That Is
up to the party leaders of other States.
They have to meet AL Smith half way. They
have to eliminate prohibition and Professionalism as
party issues, 1t is our belief that if they are big
enough to do this, Al Smith will renounce any White
House ambitions he may have. We believe he is big
enough to do this, 1t is equally our belief that if
the fight on AL Smith continues to be fight his
religion and his view that personal habits not
subject to political control, then AL Smith will be
candidate again and will fight 1t out as disastrously
as he did two years ago-as disastrously for the
party, that is. We believe he is too much of a
man to avoid the fight under such circumstances.
So, if our theory is correct the Democratic
party must first eliminate religion and prohibition
from its system and then start making a program

Conspiracy

1t has taken four years to break
through a conspiracy of silence to
such an extent as will permit the
law to begin functioning.
This conspiracy was due partly to
social snobbishness, partly to official
incompetence and partly to the fact
that a lot Of people refused to tell
what they knew rather than reveal
their own misconduct.
There has been lying and evasions
not only on the part of those who
know, but on the part of those who
didn't want to know. Only last week,
the bodies Of Mr.. Hall and Mrs
Mills were exhumed for a second
time and examined for a third, be-
cause Of medical bungling. Much
of the evidence brought out in the
first investigation has either been
lost or thrown away, witnesses have
disappeared, one of them claiming
he was paid to do so, private de.
tective who worked for Mrs. Hall
has been indicted and the whole case
has come to be bound in such n
swirl of scandal and suspicion as
staggers the mind.

Yesterdays election inspired hope among Dem
ocrats of winning the presidential election two years
hence.
This is due to the fact that the myth of Coolidge
popularity has clearly failed to stand the test of an
ofyear national vote. The fact stands out amid all
the confusion of State returns.
Coolidge did not welcome the test He avoided
it as far he could. Talk about prosperity, not
about me- he told the Republican campaign mana
gers. But, regardless of the Presidents wishes in
every State where the Republican candidate found
real fight his hands, he discovered in the clos
ing weeks franticaly graspng for the elusive Cool
idge coat-tais.
And in State Coolidge openly lent his name.
In his home State of Massachusetts asked the vot-
to return the Republican national chairman to the
United States Senate In any a vote for Butler
would have been vote for Coolidge because Cool
dge and Butler in national politics have been prac-
tically and the same, just they in State
politics before Coolidge reached the White House
Coolidge, through Butler.
This, taken with dramatic gains elsewhere, is
what inspires Democratic hopes today
When all States have completed the count it may
be found that Democrats have majority Of the
United States Senate. In any they have taken
control away from the Republican national organiza
ton since La Toilette Nye, Brookhart and others
labeled as Republicans can not be counted in any
regular Republican organization.
The result, at its very minimum is to put it up
TO the Democratic party to produce program for
the consideration of the country between now and
1928. The country is about through with Coolidgism
Have the Democrats anything to offer in its stead?
1t not be said they offered much in the cam
paign just closed beyond opposition to things they
are.
First, have the Democrats national leader
the material out of which to make one? There is no
yet to tell. Of national size there appears at
the moment only AL Smith of New York and he truly
is Of national size. But AL Smith illustrates the very
weakness of the Democratic party, rather than its
strength, through the opposition felt toward him
throughout the strongest Democratic section of the
Countrywide South.
What makes AL Smith Of national size is his
sheer character and ability tested for six years
in the hardest field of American politics and state
craft, the State of New York.
AL Smith has kept himself the peoples leader in
New York, the peoples Governor, working solely for
the people whole and refusing claims of private
interests in State where the private interests are
