During WEEK END
Three Mentioned for 1886
Race Make Talks on
Politics.

Words of wisdom end words Of
politics continued TO pour forth over
the week end as members Of Congress
took advantage Of recess opportunities
to air their views on national and
international issues.
In the current instance. the output
was credited entirely to Republicans,
three Of them already being mentioned
as possible nominees for the presi-
dency and a fourth a cochairma1 Of
their campaign committee.
From Boise, Idaho. Senator Borah
went On the air to discuss Our For
eign Policy" The feature OF his ad-
dress, however, proved to be a de-
nunciation of Intense partisanship
which sometimes places party inter-
ests above country"
Others to crowd into the week end
political spotlight were Senator VAN
denberg Michigan Republican, and
Representative Wadsworth. New York
Republican. rs both addressed the
Young Republican National Com
mittee.
Attack on New Deal
Pointed attack on the New Deal
administration was made by Repre-
sentative Bolton. Ohio Republican,
who quoted statistics to show that
Congress has placed $50, 720 900 900 at
the disposal Of President Roosevelt.
in addition to allowing acceptance Of
SO, 400 .OO0,0 900 more in contingent
liabilities.
Borah opened his radio address with
his denunciation of intense partisan
ship, declaring the greatest danger
10 constitutional government. the most
insidious enemy of our dual system Of
State and Federal sovereignty is that
intense partisanship which sometimes
places party interests above country.
which surrenders conscience, abdicateS
reason and compromises patriotism
that the party's hold may be strength
ened and the party reign extended.
Talk About Dictators.
I'VE talk much in these days about
dictators, here and abroad. Every
political party in power in this country
tends to become a dictatorship. and If
it remains long enough in power with
its retainers and pro-consuls, and po-
ltical satraps, becomes so in fact"
Turning to the matter of war dan
gers in Europe and the question OF
foreign policy for the United States,
Borah admitted the shortcomings OF
the neutrality resolution passed in
the closing days of the recent Congress.
But even so, its import and its
purpose are clear and unmistakable.
1t plainly discloses that it is the policy
Of this Nation TO remain aloof from
all foreign wars" he said.
In pledging his support to the
Young Republican movement. VAN
denberg took occasion TO strike sharp
ly at Roosevelt policy. charging that
the present administration lis de-
stroying the birthright of American
youth, upon the one hand, and COM
hitting American youth to the burden
Of insufferab.e debt. upon the other
hand. These reasons alone should
rally American youth to the Repub-
lican banners of 1886"
Wadsworth assailed the growth OF
Federal bureaucracy and the increase
in public debt, warning the young
Republicans that it is the people Of
their generation who will bear the
heaviest burden of the expenditures
of today.

But the real problem was what to
do with the outbuildings, part of
the me- eSsary equipment Of a farm
but apparently without practical use
to the new owner.
At times. however. a good architect
is something of a magician. The barn
continued as an clubhouse, but was
transformed into a garage and work
shop. Real inspiration was shown in
the utilization of the tWo-room hen
house and the granary The two build

Pine knots cracked in the crude fireplace and filled the little room with the pungent fragrance of burning pitch. Occasionally there was an explosion among the glowing embers, and gray ashes, lying thick on the grates, swirled upward and lit again for fleeting instant in a myriad fo sparks.
 Outside, night was closing down on the little shack. Low-hanging clouds skinned the treetops and raced toward 8 heavy storm bank that hung in the distance. Rain spattered fitfully against the win dow.
 Kaleb shifted restlessly on the cot he had pulled close to the hearth. With tired eyes he looked out across the sodden pastures. A half-mile away he saw the trees reaching up from the river banks.
 Even as he looked the threaten ing storm drew shade over the scene. Kaleb's brow corrugated. For the hundredth time that day his wrinkled hand went to the pocket of his gray shirt and with drew a sheet of yellow paper.
 
 It was a telegram. Kaleb had been too proud to tell the new bus driver, who had brought 1t to him that morning from the city, that he couldn't read. So he looked at it again now, wondering what it all was about. Kaleb had re- before. He never had known what 4 ho hanr, o hn bered Ezra had come to visit him that night.

 The fury of the storm loosed it. self on the countryside. Thunder claps shook the heavens. A deluge of rain pelted down with such force it seemed to rebound when it struck the ground. A menacing November wind whipped and tug ged at the little shack.
 Kaleb coughed. Sharp pains stabbed his chest. Old Kaleb was 8 sick man. He worried about the bridge across the river. Would 1t hold against the current? He feared for Ezra. He was sure Ezra was coming on the night bus.
 He wondered if the new driver would stop and make sure the bridge was safe before risking a crossing. Old Kaleb decided not to take chance; not with Ezra com ing. His hands trembled when he lit the lantern. He pulled on his heavy rubber boots and thin, tat

Like a hen guarding a brood of chicks, old Kaleb lowered over the lantern, protecting the feeble flick CT from the wind and rain. He needed the light to flag down the bus.
 Far down on the highway twin lights flashed out of the darkness, Unconsciously his fingers felt for the telegram.
 Here comes Ezry," he said, ex- citedly.
 He could hear the purr of the powerful motor. The bus came lurching on, splashing through great puddles of water. Old Kaleb lifted the lantern to signal. A sud- den blast of wind whistled out Of the night; the light flickered mo- nentarily, then blackened. The into the trees.
 The bus was coming. Kaleb had no time to fool with the lantern. With Ezra on there, he had to stop the bus. In desperation he stum bled to the middle of the road and stood there in the full glare of the oncoming lights. He swung his arms wildly. The bus was almost upon him. Kaleb braced his feeble legs for the leap to safety. Nowi But Kaleb hadn't counted, on the suction of the muck around his boots. He sprawled.
 Visibility was poor. Jud Shivers, wheeling the heavy bus, saw the old man too late. His face paled. He bore down heavily on the brakes and the bus screeched ot a dizzy stop. A Several passengers followed Jud back along the highway. They found him, half buried in the muck. Jud turned the huddled form over on it's back.
 "It's Kale-old Kale Lum!" one of the men exclaimed.
