A Hard Issue

A LTHOUGH they were visited by

odus is the plague of the straw vote.
So acute is this visitation that
we have had straw votes on every
thing from which side to part your
hair to and including prohibition, of
which no doubt you have heard a
faint rumbling
But occasionally some interesting
cross-currents are revealed by one
of these polls.
Down in Bloomington resides
Paul Feltus, who edits the Bloom
ington Star, dyed-in-the-Wool
Democratic paper.
Paul is taking a little straw vote
Of his own in Monroe county. Here
are the figures: For President:
Roosevelt, TAI; Hoover, Isl. And for
Governor: McNutt, 7O6; Springer,
312.
Strangely enough, and disproving
the theory that prophet has no
honor in his home county, McNutt,
who resides at Bloomington, leads
his opponent by large majority.
But it isn't with this vote that
observers are so much interested
as with that in the Seventh dis
trict congressional race. Arthur
Greenwood, incumbent, is given 492
while his opponent, George w
Henley, Republican, gets 482.
Henley also resides in Bloom
ington, but that is not the reason
why he runs neck and neck with
Greenwood.
Something else tits the balance
in favor of the former, although
many in other parts of the state
have forgotten all about it.
Last year, if you recall, there was
stirred up great row about the
type of stone which should go into
construction of the George Rog-
ers Clark Memorial at Vincennes
The limestone industries, located
in and around Bloomington, nat
urally desired that their product be
used, but when a vote was taken
the material selected was New Eng

that it is Canadian granite.

Greenwood who had the new
Seventh district gerrymandered tC
make it safe for him, for some in
applicable reason voted for granite
and against the product of his own
district.
That, children, explains why the
incumbent congressman isn't SC
popular in couple of counties in
his domain.
And the straw vote is an evidence
that Congressman Greenwood is

IF you were brought up on the
Il great sea stories of Melville,
Dana, and the rest, you have prob
ably wished, now and then, that
there was some way in which you
could find out just what the every
day activities on the old sailing
ships looked like.
The writer's have painted great
word-pictures of life at sea, but the
ordinary landlubber has a hard time
getting a very clear notion of the
actual appearance of things aboard
ship.
Now, however, comes Alan j. Vii
Tiers with THE Sea in Ships" to
meet that need-and a fine job he
does of it, too.
Mr.. VillierS sailed from Australia
to England On square, rugged ship
in the grain trade-sailed on two
ships, to be exact, for he made the
voyage twice.
He took his camera along and kept
the shutter clicking, and his new
book is simply collection of 112
photographs made at sea.
To me, this book of pictures is
simply invaluable, and I believe it
will be to every one who likes tales
of the sea.
Mr.. Villiers' camera has caught
just about every aspect of life
aboard Square-rigger of the old
type.
All his pictures are fascinating;
some of them truly are beautiful.
He has appended a brief, informa-
tive account of the status of the
square-rigger today, coupled with a
very short description of the sailors
life on such vessel.
Having put together a fine col
lection Of photos, he has the sense
to stand back and let them speak for
| themselves.
THE Sea in Ships" is published
by Morrow, and retails at $2.75.

his brown face. His skin darker

was brown and vigorous. In this

how they endured It, Steve was
grinning broadly. "You?" he cried.

fort to break the tension.

Steve. We'll, you look handsome

Surprised? We're overwhelmed!

instructed them.
TINE arrival of the young ladies
l. had provided much speculation
In the kitchen Maria, the old cook,
had waddled to the door, about
which she peered with misplaced
confidence in its power to conceal.
Josie, another maid, the counter
part of Florence, in a red skirt
and white blouse, was watching,
frankly absorbed. Under a convent
ent tree several barefooted native
boys had gathered in silent admira-
ton of the new arrivals.
THE ladies will have coffee with
American sugar, Florence. Pawpaw
do you like pawpaw, Mona? Steak
and breadfruit.
I'm glad you came today, because
we only have steak once in a blue
moon. Ask Maria to toss together
a salad, too"

certainly don't care what happens to

This is the best coffee I've had
in the south" Mona announced.
Like it? I taught Maria how to
make it," Barry said proudly. The
best coffee in the world is right here
in the West Indies, but no one
seems to know how to make it,"
Your mother made pretty good
coffee, I remember" Steve said,
turning to Mona. What is that old
proverb? Black as night, sweet as
love, hot as-you know the place"
Every man for his own country,
Lottie remarked demurely, and there
was a burst of laughter.
Sweet as love! Why had she come,
Mona wondered miserably. Out
wardly she was calm enough, ac-
cepting the dainty service of the
little maid, responding to Barrys
casual remarks. smiling at Steve
and regarding Lottie with quizzical
affection.

throngs from Tammany torch

headlined figure of the town.
He asked no quarter; gave none;
the bigger they came the harder
they fell.
He twice prosecuted Thaw. He
convicted eight dishonest lawyers.
He sent Edward M. Harlan,
millionaire paWnbroksr, to Sing
Sing for two and a half years;
he def1ed those who said he
would kill himself politically and
prosecuted Sam Parks and Dia-
mond Phil WeinSeimer, labor's
walking delegates, sending them
to prison for extortion; he logged
Dick Garfield, king of all gam
blers and finally convicted him.

told them. you've got to shut

They did.
He sent Al Adams, policy
prince, to Sing Sing, and con-

121 gambling house proprietors.

LITTLE DAMAGE DONE
TO BRIDGES HEREABOUTS

According to information gathered by
County Commissioner Brink, very lit
tie damage was done to bridges here
abouts. One end of the samll bridge
on Miller creek was undermined and
the bridge swung down stream by the
current. This can be replaced with lit
tie expense.
The small bridge just east of the
large bridge over Libby creek, lead
ing to the Herbst ranch, was washed
out at one end Some one had thrown
large quantity Of brush into the dry
bed of the stream This was picked up
by the water and jannned against this
small bridge in such manner as TO
effectuaIly dam it. The water then over
flowed the roadway at one end of the
bridge and cut it out. This, too, will
cost only little to repair. This is evil
dence that people should not throw
brush into q stream or into dry bed
of a stream. This brush is matted SO
tightly that it required powder to blow
il out.
That is about the only damage done
in the immediate vicinity Reports were
current the first of the week to the
effect that the Gateway bridge had
gone out. There was absolutely no truth
to that report. A telephone inquiry
bought the answer that the bridge was
intact and that the water in the Koo-
tenai there had not risen to any ex-
tent. Even had this bridge gone out,
the county has saved more than its
cost in the saving of ferryman's salary.
