BY WILL IRWIN

No political expert, glancing over
the bare facts of Indianas history
during the past five or six years,
could fail to see the symptoms of
corrupt machine pulling the
strings.
One community sends its mayor
to Jail for taking his 5 per cent out
of the fake prize fight swindle-
form of the confidence game so
open and fragrant as to be comic to
all but the victims. The same COM
munity rises up and brings i'm
parchment proceedings against its
judge
A Governor is indicted, along
with the engineer of the machine
in the capital and metropolis, on
the charge of offering a former Gov
ernor a bride of $4,000 and a prom
Use of immunity from prosecution.
Arraigned, the Governor and aft
erward his assistant in the deal,
escape the legal process through
which candid men vindicate them
selves-by pleading a technically
in the statute of limitations. The
Governor retains his Office, the
county boss his position in the
State organization.
Next, the State chairman is sent to
Federal prison for bank crimes.
The mayor of the metropolis loses
his office for fragrant violation of
the election law.
All Truth
Every one who understands poll
tics knows that when such sporadic
instances show on the surface there
is much more beneath: that for
every proved and certain instance
Of favoring a bank bribing an Of
fetal, there are a score of hidden
instances known only to the in
siders. The men who have gone
before the grand jury are merely
the careless or reckless or unlucky.
The situation was here before
Stephenson began his singular oper-
alton. Indeed, he probably took this
into account when, with the whole
country to choose from. he lit on
Indiana. A kind of diabolical Ma
poleon, he was looking not for
money alone, but for power.
Being a super-salesman, and hav-
ing line of goods very popular
with one element in all our States,
he could get the money almost any
where. But to get the power he
needed a community sprinkled with
eagerly corruptible officials who
were cogs in good, tight machine.
Only in such a State could he make
effective use of bribery and intimi-
dation, could he pledge candidates
in writing to serve a power above
the law
Things May Grow Worse
Stephenson passed to the obscur-
ity of his cell. but the machine re-
manned. Indiana had missed its
widest opportunity. 1t cannot last
OF course. 1t may be good for this
election. In which case, the machine
in the end will utterly be smashed
by such a sensational, expensive and
explosive election as has Just &C.
CURED in Illinois.
Only, if Indiana does not take the
bull by the horns this time, If she
waits for an occasion of action III
an offense against the civic law
as open and fragrant as Stephen
sons against the moral law, things
will grow much worse before they
grow better
In this scheme of politics, the
senior Senator from Indiana oc-
cupies a position high and unique.

Doris admits to her father her
interest in both men, but is un-
able to decide which to marry.
Nina tells Doris her story, exact
ing a promise that Doris will
not tell the source of her In

Stanley's duplicity and is bro
ken-hearted, realizing that II is

Waterman was startled by this
news. He had known, of course. that
some day Stanley would return, hut
he had not expected II so soon, and
he was not prepared. The announce

he swiftly treasured himself. Stan

He was safe. In fact, II was probably
a good thing. He was perfectly aware
that Stanley's affection for him was
genuine. He had pulled him out of
many hole in the past. and 1t was
more than likely thai he would come
to his help now. Yes, yes-on the
whole he was glad.
His wife had been regarding him

his home is the Kansas state line.
During the last 40 years he has not
passed a week without riding range

CHAPTER X-Continued

"Oh, quite, quite" he said, land

he took her hand, and tried to draw
her to him. But she said quickly,

Like this?"
"YOu know what / mean. You're
not happy with me-Im not happy
with you. Why not end it?"
You mean divorce"
"7es, that's what | mean"
Waterman was taken wholly un-
awares. He Fnew, of course, that he
had imposed upon tie generosity of
his wife. He knew too, that he had
neglected her. he had taken her too
much as matter of course. But he
was so self-centered that he had not
realized that he was as yet In any
danger that she would resent it. 1t
now became suddenly clear to him
that he had gone too far.

so he only asked. "When did he turn
up?"
He telephoned me this afternoon

INJURED. "A key in my bedroom door,"
He shrugged his shoulders and went
out.
1t will be seen that Doris had solved
one of her prOblems-how to behave
toward Jim. She was going to behave
as if nothing had happened, and she
was sure that nothing had happened
except that her life was spoiled.
Thus she sat and waited for the man
she loved.
1t was perhaps fortunate that when
Stanley went that evening to see Doris
he took the Swami Ramanara with
him. He had a feeling that it might
be just as well. He was not certain
he could altogether trust himself
