Mary's voice trailed off into silence.
She was thinking of that low, square
room in the farmhouse where she spent
SO many happy holidays.
Janet leaned forward and touched
her softly. SIT is beautiful way to
explain your Kindness" she whispered,
''but whom am to pay?'
Mary looked at the frail girl in the
big chair I overheard the little
maid who comes in to mop your floor

as kind Of goddess. Maybe you can

Mary left in breeze of cheerfulness.
A quarter Of an, hour later found
Janet and the little maid who m0pped
the floors in a gale of laughter. Janet
was telling her story and had heaped
her arms with fruit. The little maid
seemed TRANSPORTED with happiness.
And it is said that she later gave most

two years in prison. Nevertheless
Mr.. Newberry was seated.
But although the Senator'S ha@
cleared Mr.. Newberry's trailing skirts,
the public had not. In the elections
of 1922, the same year in which MI
Newberry was seated, nine Senators
who had cast their votes for him were
showed under. Mr.. Newberry re-
signed.
Majority Vote is all That is Needed
To Close Door
Then there is the case of Uncle
Ike" Stephenson, of Wisconsin. I'm
Gle Ike" had made his millions in lum-
Der. Evidence was presented to the
senate showing the lumber trust had
paid for some planks in his platform.
Senator LaFollette forced a vote but
enough Senators stood by "Uncle Ike"
! to keep him from being ousted.
1t has been pointed out too, that a
majority vote will keep Ware, Smith
and Watson from their seats but it
will take two-thirds of the senatorial
toes to kick them out after they are
seated.
The evidence would seem to indi-
cate that the task of unfolding the
integrity of the senate will be less
onerous if action is taken before the
newly elected senators accused of cor
rupt practices sit in the seats it has
been shown they bought.
Senator Clarence C. Dill, of Wash
ington, has presented two resolutions
intended to prevent the senate from
receiving the credentials of either
Ware or Smith. While the present
senate has no authority to consider
the qualifications of either, Senator
Dill feels they should be prevented
from exercising the privileges usually
accorded a senator-eleet.
Senator Dill said that "while there
have been other instances of attempt
ed purchases of seats in the Senate,
these are the worst"

More Homes Are Now
Being Built in South

! Atlanta, Ga.-Good news - home
owning is coming back Instead of
fewer homes there are to be more
| homes than ever. So says G. l..
Preacher and Company, Atlanta ar
chitects, who design structures of all
kinds over the South and get authen-
tic reports on construction work.
Apartment houses are being built
and will continue to be built in all
parts of the South, as more and more
they are appealing to certain classes
of people and prove profitable in
vestments for the owners, the Preach
er company officials state, but. il; is a
fact that figures show the home own
er is growing in numbers.
What has caused the beneficient
change? The automobile, yes, the
automobile, condemned by some as
home-breaker, is the chief agent in
the reform, it was pointed out. 1t

burbs where they can have the attrac-
tive one-family houses impossible to
them in the crowded city where land

Written Especially for The Leader by
ROBERT FULLER

The 70 to z vote in the Senate to
investigate the past political actlvl-
ties of Senator-elect Arthur r. Gould
of Maine, brings up the question OF
what action the next Senate will take
when William S. Ware of Pennsylvan'
ia, Frank Smith, of Illinois, and James
E. Watson of Indiana, next March
claims the seats they are charged
with obtaining by corrupt methods
and practices"
Several senators have declared they
will fight to uphold the integrity OF
the upper house by slamming its doors
in these mems faces.
The senators do not agree as to the
plan of campaign to be used. Some
insist Ware, Smith and Watson should
never be seated at all. Others in
sist they should be seated and ther
ousted.
Easier to Keep Them Out Than to
Kick Them Out
A glance back over the Senate's
history indicates it will be much
easier to keep them out than it will
be to put them out once they are al
lowed to take their seats.
William Lorimer, like Smith, from
Illinois, is the only Senator ever kick
ed out of the legislative chambers by
direct action of the Senate for having
bought his seat.
Action in Lorimer's case was taken
in July 1912, after it had been shown
he had purchased his seat from mem.
bers of the Illinois legislature. Be.
fore they threw Lorimer out, in
March 1911, that same Senate voted
him a clean bill of health, 46 to 40.
The more recent case of Senator
Truman H. .Newberry is another in
stance i'm point. Not mere accusa'
tions had been presented against Mr.
Newberry. He had been indicted and
convicted of corrupt methods and
practices" in United States District
Court. He had been sentenced to

MISTLETOE FOUND

The word has gone forth that war
is to be declared against mistletoe
in national forests, since it is proving,
it is claimed, serious injury to the
trees and in time may seriously cur
tail the growth of the forests.
