4 KOK
q DAY, :.
BY BRUCE CATION

TINE romance of the highway is
L not thing which only travel
ers can enjoy. 1t is available to
stay at-homes, too; for the way in
which people of former years got
about the country, the vehicles they
rode in, the roads they used and
the customs that surrounded their
wanderings are among the most
truly interesting parts of human
history.
They make up a romance that
can be gotten out of book in a
comfortable armchair, and it's a
first rate romance, too.
You'll find this sort of thing in
"From Hereto Yonder," by Marion
Nicholl RaWson. If you like to get
an authentic peek at the way your
1orefathers lived, you'll like this
book immensely.
AS the title implies, the author
concerns herself chiefly with modes
of travel in early America.
She describes the old-tim roads,
tells how they evolved from mere
wilderness trails to regular high
ways, traces the introduction of
wheeled vehicles, discusses the tav-
erns and inns in which early travel
ers took their rest, and contrives,
all in all, to give an excellent pic
ture of American life century and
more ago.
Here and there, possibly, she
strives just a little too hard for
quaintness; but she gets so much
that is interfering and Informative
into her book that you can over
look the fault.
From Here to Yonder" is pub
lished by Dutton and costs $3.75.

dered If her husband had found and
liked her gift, an Italian leather
case fitted with two photographs OF
herself.
Silly to give ones own picture,
but what was there to give such
man? A man who had every
thing!
Probably he was reading now.
She knew he was light sleeper,
seldom retired early. He had given
her jewels, furs, the happiness of
making her family happy. She had
given him-only her portrait.
Suppose she were to call him now
and give him, as a Christmas gift
herself? A gift in all likelihood for
his last Christmas on earth?
Her mind was made up. She
would make him happy. She would
call him now and tell him.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER THIRTY

MONA stared at her husband.
IV1 What could she tell him?
Should she say that she had thought
him cruel, scheming and revenge
full toward his nephew? That she
had believed he had married her
only to torture both Barry and her
self?
She reminded herself that. save
Tor hearsay, sha was not even Ger
tain that young Barry ever had
loved her. The admiring glances,
the suave flattery might all have
been part Of a game, the merest
Irritation.
BY accepting that Irritation for
more than it was worth, she had
lost Steve's love Of she had ever
had that) as we'll as young Barry
Townsend's.
All this did not alter the fact
that she loved Barry. Now, should
she decide against ending this mar
Tiage, she could bring Barry into his
rightful inheritance.

holidays. Then we can make plans

He would have sent a cable at least.
He could, easily enough"
Her thoughts we're bitter as she
prepared for the night. Barry did
not love her, but she loved him. And
it lay in her power to arrange his
future. Well, she would do it. Her
husband and Barry would both be
happy.
Only she herself would suffer by
the arrangement. Suffer? That
might be too strong word. She
might learn TO love her husband
She could try.

not sleep. The fire she had ordered

Steve wished her, rather stiffly, a

Obligingly Lottie accompanied
Mona to the sixty-third street

despairingly. He doesn't love me.

Paper Ballot Risk

IT begins to look very much as if
Il that vehicle of political chica-
merry, the Australian or paper ballot,
may be used in Marion county in
the fall general election.
No one thing makes cheating in
an election as easy as the paper
ballot, and this county has been
particularly fortunate in that it has
in the past been able to use ma
chimes.
To those unacquainted with diff
ferences between the paper and ma
chine vote, it is necessary to explain
that when the latter is used all that
is necessary to tabulate the vote in
a precinct is to open the recording
section in the back and jot down
the vote for each candidate. In
this manner, by p. m. of election
day, results in a precinct are known.
In using the paper ballot, it takes
days to complete the tabulation and
if there are half dozen or more
tickets on the ballot, it may take a
week. The longer the delay the
more chance for crooked work, be-
cause by then it is apparent how
many votes are needed.
1t is very easy for a dishonest
election clerk to mutilate ballot,
which is done merely by placing a
check mark against a candidate for
an office for which a vote already
has been cast.
If the political organization wishes
to defeat a candidate of it's own
party, the paper ballot affords an
easy vehicle.
An example in case exists in
Marion county, where the Coffin or
ganization is determined to prevent
reelection of Circuit Judge Harry
o. Chamberlin, who has refused to
permit the powers of his office to be
used to feed the Unsuitable NAV of
the organization.
Instead of appointing receivers of
banks and other defunct inStitu-
tions at the beheSt of the bosses,
Chamberlin has selected what in his
judgment are the most competent
men. Therefore, he is marked for
slaughter and the Coffin henchmen
are favoring Earl Cox, the Demo-
cratic nominee, they tell me.
With the paper ballot, it is pos
Sible, as has been. pointed out be-
fore, to scratch the Republican vote
already cast for Chamberlin, so that
it will read as if Cox were the choice
That is one reason, perhaps, why
Lieutenant-G Governor Edgar D. Bush
held up the White bill, requiring a
new or minority political party to
present petition signed by l per
cent Of all the voters in a previ-
GUS general election to be placed on
the ballot.
The present law provides that
only 500 names are needed and that
will permit any group to file ticket
from President to township trustee.
Because of this easy manner OF
getting on the ballot, there may
be half-dozen or more tickets in
the field by the November election
and the voting machines used here
can not accommodate so large a
number. Therefore, the paper bal
lot must be resorted to.
Bush and Coffin have been polit-
ical allies for years, and it is proba-
BILE that, in response to the latter's
desires, the Lieutenant Governor
pocketed the White bill until it
was too late to pass.
The way is open to chicanery and
fraud in the November election.
There seems to be no escape, un-
less absolutely honest election
boards are selected.
This should be the duty of the
respectable members of both parties

Farm and Factory

Evidence of the new social movement
back to the land comes from all quarters.
1t is especially noticeable just now in Cali
fornia. San Francisco reports marked in
crease in the last two months for small and
inexpensive holdings. Most of the people
interested are industrial workers, with little
or no employment seeking this means of
keeping their families together. Many,
though. are small-salaried or professional
people And most of them aim to raise
food for their own use rather than to 60 in
to food production commercially, in COM
petition with regular farmers.
A similar tendency is said to exist in
nearly every section of the country, and is
especially noticeable in industrial areas.
Here is obviously another movement in
which Henry Ford was ahead of his time.
For years he has been urging factory work
ers to have gardens in connection with their
homes, and has tried to develop dual eco
nomic life for workers, combining farm and
factory. Whether this tendency will con-
tinue after normal employment returns is
hard to say. 1t may increase, though, rather
than wane. when city people who have read
the lesson of this depression begin to have
the means of applying it.
