Py of es 1 ; By RODNEY DUTCHER (NEA Service Writer) Washington, April 4.—Emotions of grave disquiet, serious doubts whether all's well with the world or all's wet, and certain other sickening sensa- tions, have afflicted members of the Old guard. Senator J. Boomboom McWhorter’s famous features have taken on a greenish aspect. Violent wretchings of his imagination have him pretty near all to pieces. Awake and asleep he holds long conversations with him- self. The other evening, as he and your correspondent sat on a twig in Rock Creek park, the senator finally blurted out his grief and explained why the Old Guard was on the verge of catfits. “It may be,” said he, “that we have been taken in. I refuse to believe it, but if we were, we have been the vic- tims of the most hideous taking in the history of this great republic. “We are asking ourselves today just what the Republicans elected last. November. Look at him! He cer- tainly ain't no Republican, acting the way he is. And they say he was once @ Democrat. They Minded the Senate “You know what Republican presi- dents are like—take Taft, Harding and Coolidge. Did they ever act like this fellow? Huh! Titey stuck to our principles and I mean the kind that were maintained by the nation’s best minds in the Senate. If the right bird wanted government oil or higher tariff duties he got it and if he wanted income tax refunds, too, it wasn't anybody's business. “No, Handsome, I won't say we elected no Democrat. You could tear out my tongue before I'd admit that. But if there's no more gravy in being Republican than this guy is provid- Ing, all of us might as well be Demo- trats and go hungry. Where does he wee the money is coming from in 1932 “After he got elected it was his duty to sce important Republicans. But he'd rather go sce Latin-Ameri- cans, And did! “He must have resisted temptation by not putting more Democrats in his cabinet, but look at what he picked. Can I go to one of them birds and say I want something done and done snappy? Do I know ‘em so they get what I mean. Try and get it! Only one who s a drag with them bi is Hoover himself. Just think of the downright treachery of that postmaster general of his who political institution « and told all the po: it. Why, that was the way Wilson felt! “Who was it squawked about sell- ing posto{fices and oil and tariff cor- ruption? Democrats mostly, except progressives, which is worse. Did you ever hear us Republicans mentioning such things? And do you remember how we have fought all these years against publicity on the tax refunds, We bled and died against the Demo- crats on that and now this guy says they were right! They Miss the Yacht “Did he think presidents were the only ones that wanted free rides on the Mayflower? ‘That yacht made more friends for the Republican ad- ministration than Heinz made pickles. And senators, maybe they don’t need outings, too. “Does he suppose enforcing pro- hibition is going to do him any good with the city bosses and the ward bosses? They gotta live, too, and no bootlegger can pay honorariums when he's pinched. “I don't suppose the Democrats really sneaked him over on us and wanted him to win all the time, but what's biting us old-timers is why we spent so much of our own time and other people's money trying to beat Al Smith. “The worst of it is probably most who voted for him think he’s fine. But maybe they think we're here for our health!" On that ominous note, Tony Tarver | that w resolutely changed the subject.| Against her sudden, reckless gayety, Crystal was helpless. Obediently, but with cold fear at her heart, she an- swered her chum’s rapid string of questions regarding the evening in Cherry's primly austere Early Ameri- zan living room. She told of Harry Blaine's half-formed plans for a Christmas Benefit play, of his tenta- «tive casting of Tony as the heroine end Cherry as the “wicked wamp"; told much more calmly and indif- ferently than she would have be- leved possible a few hours before, of her own prospective job on The Press; received Tony's sincere, excited con- gratulations and prophecies of a “howling success.” And at last, with fearful questions quivering unspoken’ on her lips, Cry- stal had to let Tony curl up on her own side of the big bed, while she lay taut—wracked with fatigue but un- able to sleep. What had Tony meant about— paying? Crystal asked herself the question endlessly, but there were only two possible answers. Tony had made up her mind to pay her “debt” to Dick Talbot by marrying him, or by entering “another and less public and binding relationship,” as she had mockingly expressed it. And to pay in either way meant disaster for gal- lant Tony Tarver. Of that, Crystal Hathaway had not the slightest doubt in the world. Marriage. She con- sidered that first, as the most likely answer to the question of what Tony meant to do. Tony married to Dick Talbot, to whom she was violently at- - tracted physically, but for whom she had almost no respect. Crystal flinched. No, no! A marriage like sf Our Yesterdays J ~ > FORTY YEARS AGO E. B. Palmer, deputy auditor, has returned from Pierre to resume his work at the capitol.

YEARS AGO i IVE ,, Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Ward have re- @ several months’ trip Arkansas, Texas and Califor-' ‘t good enough for ‘Tony Tarver. Tony knew that. Even thougi: she hadn't an atom of conceit in her whole beautiful body and mind, Tony held herself high, instinctively. Without coercion, Tony would never throw herself away in marriage. There was her ideal of marriage, too. She called it—and Crystal had to smile @ little, tenderly, in the dark—an “anti-marriage complex.” Tony so wanted—or Crystal believed she did —a perfect marriage that she shud- dered away from marriage because she did not believe it could be per- fect. “That's because she has never been enough in love to believe,” Crystal told herself. “If she loved Dick 'Tal- bot with all her heart and mind, as well as with her body—But that’s out. She simply doesn’t. If she marries him, it will be with a cynical fore- knowledge of failure. And Tony and failure simply can’t live together. Tony would be crushed out; wouldn't be Tony at all, after a while. No, she mustn't marry him!” But Tony had made it quite clear that she intended to “pay” her quix- otic debt to Dick Talbot. But—was it quixotic? If she were as honest. as Tony, Crystal knew she would have to admit that there was some fair- ness in the charges Dick Talbot had made. Tony had let him make love to her for months, knowing that she did not intend to marry him. But all girls these days were guilty of that. sort of cheating—all girls, that is, ex- cept two classes; those to whom no man wanted to make love, and those who were only too glad to pay.
