stonci tools the dace of Mr Lariiok
who was to he Mr Copley's colleague
but could not lie present on account of
t-lckuos. The debaters for I he nega

Mr. Copley, the first speaker on the
cfiinnatlve opened the debate stating
Jhnt tho question for debute was;

Hue thousand liftv seven bills are now
fcefore the House of Representative to
be noted upon. Of tills number of
bills, no bill hasauythluj; in it to pro

lartuor hold out ualnst tho different

who opene'l hislde of the question by
Mating 'he cpistlon for ilcoate as;
" The vniloi. farm oriralilz.atlons
sl'ouhl not iix for direct political
action ' Mr om called the atten
tion of Hie .Im-.m-h to the fact lhat Mr.
tropic . Ids h able opponent, had
in'istale I the i nation for debate and
Iherofoie his iiguinptit was not based
upon the (iiciion for debate. Mr
Doom -luted (h i theie were tinly four
funnels orgniiz.itlons in Nidnuska,
that were s'ate wide in , existence
These ere 1 1. l''a filler's Union, tho
Kipiltj, N'on I'mtlsnti leaKue, and the
lliaiiiu Mr. Iloom sta'ed that he
was '.vl tli his li"iioiube opponent when
it came to th funnel h uniting, but
when it came lo the different farm or
gunlzalions uniting, it never could lie
dune, because if they were to unite and
try to puss laws, one org'inlzitlon
would want this, and would waul
something clue, another would still
want things a little different and it
would be a fight on right there, they
could not get along auv letter than a
cat and dog trying to eat out of the
same bowl Mr. llootn brought out
the fact that some man would not
change his way of voting because
"Well, inv father and and my grand
fa her all voted a straight ticket and
It's too'late now for me do chanire '
He stateil there were too many diiret
cut idois of tho farmers, and the
fanners in tho different organize
lions to gt together and form direct
political action. The lust statementof
Mr. Iloom, hearing with It the most
weight, was that the bylaws an i
ijonstituti'ins of ihusc four stafe-wi le
orgaul.ali ins would lot permit that
organization to enter into politicks for
direct actn n.
!r. H'oner, the seen i-l speaker foi
the aillruritive, did not restate the
qucst'on imt held lo the question as
.Mr. tjoplev, hi eollcaeue, luid statoil
it that tio fanners, instead of tin
fill II) oivimizutious, should unite for
political action. Mr. Stoner read of
the hlstoi v rd' farmers fifty years ago
trying to u'ei duecr political action.
He stated that Captain John Smith,
the leudu- of tho Virginia Colony in
l(!07, once -aiil, "They that do not woi k,
shall not cut". Mr. Stoner then point
ed out that it had been that way witli
the farmers of Nebiaska the past three
years and that it was time that they
organized for diiect political action.
Mr. .Stoner was only getting nicely
started when tiniH was called. He
pleaded for more time to talk and his
his hnuoratdc opponent was kind
enough to grant him all the titno he
wanted. Mr. Stoner then read of ha -pollings
back In liiblc limes to help
nold his argument together, lie end
ed that debate by reading u slimt
speech by President Harding, ivhlc'c
stated that the fanners sluhild nolle
for direct political action.
The s.-eond speaker on tho negative,
Mr. Koertner, pulnl"d out again, the
fact that their honorable opponents
hud ini-stated tho question. Mr. ICoert.
uer refilteil the s'litemenf uiiidli by Mr
Stoner, his h inoiubl" opponeu', that
the oiyunr I'tou of some IH'lv vcus
ago, lr. Uoi-rtner went on to Mute
Unit this organiz. itlon had failed, and
also thui it did not go into politics be
cause it-i bylaws would not permit

thai Wallace, in the House of Kepre
o'litat ives uiaito the statement hefoie
the lloiiso thai it would do for the
fHt'iuei's to unite and form ami estab
lish stable pi Ices for their grain and
livestock After Mr I-Coeitner talked,
the ullii inutive agieed to have the neg
ative have their rebuttal if they wish,
oil
Mr. Iloom gave the rebuttal, only
stating that the next time that he hop-
ed the question for debate would be
written In large letters across tln buck
of I lie room, so there would be no mis
lake in the question for debnle.
The negative icbuttal was followed
by one given by Mr. Copley. Mr. Cop
ley made a few further statements to
prove some of the first statements lie
had made. Mr. Copley said that the
faun organizations of California or
those of New Iihigland states would
not be conserved about the utV.iirs of
tho farmers of Nebraska should unite
for Direct Political Action

(5, 1D23, Wt-rti-rn Newiuiicr I'lllon )
IF MARY Winston had nol been In
love with her husband, of course
she would never have done what she
did. Hut she was one of those women
who, having inmlc llidr vows, remain
constant to Ihcni for life. That was
why.
'Thru was why, Inning gathered ut
the dust mid ghen the lust Hock to th
wlilsl.-hroom, and having put tin
clothes In the hopper foi the morrow's
washing, she was linlllii ahultl In i

thought. "He'll enjoy his dinner."

"Oh, nil right, dear," she said
"Then I'll have a little .supper for

tit the olllce."
She hung up the receiver ami stood
with clasped hands In the middle id
tho mom? "Dear fiod," she prayed,
".some day, In Thine own good titno
give me buck my husband."
About an hour after this John Win
ston was sitting In n cafe with u very
bountiful woman. He was comparing
her with Mary, lie thought of Mary's
graying hnlr, of the hollows under her
eyes, and the crow's-feet ho cotill
never stand for wrinkled women

Mary was thinking. Ami an lutlultol
tender thought came to her:
"John's getting old and ho doc-n't
know It. What will ho do, what would
ho have done If I hadn't curcd'i"
And she prayed again: "Dear iod
let my heart not change toward my
husband, and turn him hack to mo in
Thy good time."
And about an hour after this Minnie
Clark was leaning forward over hei
cigarette and laughing.
"Oh. that love Junk's pretty ancient.

John l.awson lled in u model house
on thn outskirts of the factory town.
He was forty years old mid had u Job

lie wns married, hut had no children.
On this particular afternoon he was
leaving early. It was u Friday, mid j
hy arrangement he had to stay
Saturday afternoons. As he walked
up the hill toward his homo Ids dog
caiuo hounding to meet him, leaping
up at him. It was an old dog twelve

married, Ilo stooped and putted It.
"Well, Ranger, old boy, we've gone
through some J lines together," he said.
was ii little sentlulentiil with his
dog, because It was all he had to he
sentimental with. He lit his pipe,
nnd ho dawdled, so us not to get homo
too soon. Ho wus not eager to get
homo, lie wns not eager to moot Kiln.
Sometime on those Friday after
noons, during the walk home, Luwson
Indulged In the luxury of bitterness.
At such times Ids past would rise be
fore him. Ho would remember his fa
ther's home, from which he had been
expelled for an act of boyish folly,
his struggles, his love ufl'ulr that had
ended so disastrously.
lie had been madly In love with
Mary Haines. Hut he had been a poor
clerk, and she had boon brought up
In luxury. She had promised to wait
for him. She hud waited a year, two
years three. Then, instead of the
expected promotion, Law son had lost
his Job.
He wont lo Mary ami they talked
things over. There was no hope that
ho would bo able to niairy her, per
haps for yours, lie had released her.
She hud boon too proud to refuse.
She would have waited endlessly. lie
had seen that aft oi ward, when it was
loo late. Hut she had married an
other; and he bud mairled another,
too,
Ilo had married F.Ila In the reac
tion. She had captured him on the
tide of misery. She was a vain, shal
low little thing, and had never cured
for him, uny more than ho had cared
for her. They had quarreled from the
beginning, all through the honeymoon.
She had craved 'hlugs that ho had
been unable to give her. had been
envious of the neighbors, of the wom
en. s clothes, ot their cars. . . .
Yes, l.awson had gone through hid
eous times with her. Of late, however,
Kiln's outbursts hud grown loss fre
quent. Hut. dear Lord, how long could It
last! lie was wondering, as he
climbed the hill with Ranger, whether
ho wus hound to u lifetime of this serv
itude. And nil his being responded
to llio call of the far spaces.
To ho free, to go out Into the world,
to live niuotig men! lie would go
West, he would phty a man's part In
tho free world, get to know the sun
mid moon end slurs, to r-:id the faces
Of his lellow-l'ien Alwn.vs he had
dro.iuied that, until bis lot hml tied
him lo a desk In tl o grinding, shriek
ing f.n tory.
And now he was going homo to Kiln.
Sh" would offer him hr mid cheek at
the- dour, and they would quarrel over
the supper, or the we.ilher, there wore
always things to quarrel over. Then
i4ght witild conic hideous, Inimitable
night, and the umiMitig arising, and
the fiu tory whistle!
And ulwnjs tho f.uv of his lost love,
In the dark hours-, to torment him!
Ilo was marly ho.ue now. Kven
Ranger seemed to become subdued, In
compliance with his muster's mood.
Now ho was ut the door and opening it.
I In knew immediately that Klla was
not in tho house. There was that
sense of freedom. . . . Perhaps
she had gone into town, shopping.
Sometimes he had a respite like this,
for which ho never ceased to bo grate
ful, lie wandered through the shabby
rooms. And "How long?" the soul
within him culled.
Ilo perceived a letter addressed to
himself In Kllu'.s writing, lying on
(he table, lie opened It. read it.
She had left him forever. She had
gone avvny vfth Tedernuinn, n fellow
clerk. Ilo would never see her again.
Unto hteiithod from ever line. He
had never guessed she hated him so
much.
He folded up the letter, Ut u match
and burned It. All the unholy past
seemed to shrivel away with It. He
stopped outside and whistled to Ids

"Ranger, old man, we're free at
