North Dakota has voted decisively against the kind polities reflected by L. L. Twichell of Fargo and his cohorts. North Dakota has repudiated. President Hoover. North Dakota through a resounding rural vote tells the world that it prefers to work out its agrarian problems unharassed by those sinister interests which pour money into North Dakota campaigns in return for political favors not wholly in the best interests of the farmers of this state and the basic industry of North Dakota—agriculture. North Dakota has repudiated an aimless administration of state affairs, ‘avagant in its execution, nepotic in its tendencies and unresponsive to the farming interests upon which this state depends almost solely for its sustenance. North Dakota towns and villages more nearly than ever before joined hands on some of the major issues. They refused to hear the rural voters called reds, communist: s and socialists by the greatest ring of political manipulators this state has known. Not in the palmiest days of North Dakota bossism has anything equaled the political methods of Twichell and his hench- men who sought to raise the old hue and cry of radicalism, socialism and sabotage. North Dakota imposes an obligation upon the winners in tne Republican and Democratic primaries to see that conditions are changed. The vote is no mandate to launch into an orgy of expenditure or a saturnalia of socialistic experiments. None of the successful candidates on any of the tickets indicated that such were their di s or intentions. Voters were not all wrong who rebuked the bond sales of the present administration, its practice of political strategy, its short-sighted political reprisals on those who would not whip into lin s hypocrisy which promised relief from state ownership but continued that ownership for patronage sake; its legislative hedging and for years dodging on vital issues, but woe unto the winners if they do not develop a safe, sane and constructive policy. North Dakota is big enough and intelligent enough to solve her own internal affairs. Voters have said hands off to those in distant places who would manipulate the politics of this state so they can dominate business also, This is a very definite trend of North Dakota’s 1932 primary vote. North Dakota went into the Democratic March presidential primaries to the tune of 84,000 to rebuke President Hoover. Yesterday on state issues, Republicans kept within their own primaries and rebuked those candidates who stood for President s policies. There can be very little doubt at this orth Dakota stands on the Hoover policies. They have voiced approval in no uncertain terms of Senator Nye’s opposition to certain Republican tenets as they affect North Dakota's basie industry—agriculture. North Dakota can move for ‘d in a new spirit and with a quickened step to solve some of the matters pressing for solution, Demands for tax reduction played no small part in Wednesday's primary. Early returns indicate that possibly every measure calling for tax reduction swept the state. The voters went on the theory that they have been waiting too long for action from their public officials and they decided to deprive them of what revenue they could. How wise this vote has been is speculative and only time and the application of the initiated laws will tell. Th elf evident, however, the voters of the state found in these initiated measures affecting taxation, an opportunity to voice their protest. Legislative candidates will be impressed by the vote and doubt- less will be called upon at the next session to clarify the whole situation of tax reduction and revision. North Dakota faces a great opportunity to end this expen- sive fight against her best interests. The cause of the North Dakota farmer should be the cause of the North Dakota busine: man. The latter to some extent have been misled by petty, self of crats are to be commended.

A Guessing Contest As much as the people generally favor a heavy tax on the inheritance of large estates, it appears that they} fave forced the government into a! guessing contest by revising the in- beritance and gift tax laws. ‘The law with regard to inheritance | is the same, in its general terms, as{ accepted | the wet side of the liquor question.

The dickens of try- ing to explain things in this short space is that one has to explain the meaning of the terms one must use in explaining things. Allergy is & peculiar reaction of the body to the substance. No use in trying to explain parenteral and protein now, for tha‘ would only bring in some more terms requiring explanation, and you know there are so many important things our readers must be told in the paper teday. Perhaps you will get the drift of the idea when you recall that cer: tain individuals suffer from hit when even a minute quaatity of an; animal serum is injected under the skin, and others suffer with asthn dander or cat hair or goose feather if they inhale a few specks of horse, Now the fat} is in the fire and the battle is on in at present, but the gift tax has been added and it is there that trouble! begins. The gift tax was necessary, inheritan® tax laws. - The trouble is in ferreting out con- cealed gifts and the bureau of inter- nal revenue may be faced, in some instances, with the job of determin- ing whether a man made a gift or very bad business deal. A statement sent out by the treas- ury department emphasizes the point. It says: “In the case of the death of a donor, it will be necessary to check all his gift tax returns, The broad and general language of the gift tax suggests many an- moying quesWions, such as the question of distinguishing between @ gift and a bad bargain by ven- dor, even though it be conceded that a sale or exchange in the course of business where the transaction is free from any donative intent does not.involve a gift notwithstanding that the consideration received is inade- quate.

Doubtless these de- tails may seem important to the president and his advisers in the present mood of Washington. But the proposal for an “Industrial Com- mission,” while favuous, is harmless. The plan for additional loans on farm commodities can well be spared, since persistent efforts made by the Federal Farm Board to “steady the price level” by that means have failed. The prohibition against loans to private corporations is not of de- cisive importance. Of the proposal for @ bond issue it can at least be said that the amount involved is com- paratively small,and that the Wagner bill is a great improvement over Speaker Garner’s plan to bring bac’: | prospersiy by building , postoffices.

NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY CHAPTER XXI DX opened the door quietly and entered. He had been gone nearly an hour. “Hello,” he said to Cherry. The girl had turned at the sound of the key in the lock but now she did not glance up. She was, sitting in the window seat, looking very small with her feet curled beneath her, her face white against ‘the cloudy mass of dark hair. The night through the window behind her was dark, too. Cherry had been staring at that starless sky. “Hello.” Phillips put down his hat and crossed the room. “I'm sorry,” he began abruptly. “I didn't mean the things I said tonight. I—well, 1 want you to know I'm sorry about it.” “It’s all right.” But it wasn’t all right. Phillips could see that. The brown eyes raised to his showed how deeply Cherry had been hurt. There were Ro tears in those eyes’now but the wisp of handkerchief she clutched was a damp and twisted ‘ball. Dan waited uncertainly. He wanted to say more, did not know how to begin. © “Can I—sit down here?” She moved to make room for him and he dropped to the seat with a sigh. “I've been walking,” he told her. “Walking? Where did you go?” “Ob, I don't know. Down the street—I didn’t notice. It’s getting cold out.” Suddenly Cherry was concerned. “And you didn’t have your topcoat! Oh, Dan, you shouldn’t have done that. You've probably taken cold and now you'll be sick!” don’t think so.” “But you can’t be sure. You should have a hot bath and—” Dan refuses to g “There's nothing wrong with me, I tell you. I'll be all right.” There was silence again. This time Cherry broke it. She leaned nearer, touched Dan's hand with her own. “I—didn’t mean what 1 said, either,” she told him. “I shouldn't have promised Dixie we'd come without asking you first and I didn’t mean to complain. It was my fault.” eee E stopped her. “No, it was mine. I lost my head and there was no excuse for it, I know you get tired of this life. Cooking and washing dishes and working all day in this hole. It's my fault that you have to do it because I don’t make enough to hiro a maid. That's why you have allthis drudgery. You shouldn't have.married me, Cherry! It was mistake!- I'll never be ablo to give you the things you should have—servants and money and pretty clothes. I'm just a bum Police reporter and that’s all I'll ever be. I'm—oh, what’s the use? What's the use?” Dan's hands opened wide in a gesture of disgust. “But, Dan—” her arm stole about his shoulder. “You mustn't talk that way! You mustn’t because it isn’t true! You're not a bum re- porter and I won't have you saying you are. What do I care for ser- vants and clothes and a lot of money? Those things don’t make people happy. 1 found that out! And I don’t mind about the house- work, either. Of course | know I’m not much good at it yet but if you can stand it I guess 1 can.” Dan shook bis head. “You've been a sport about it all,” he told her, “but that doesn't change things.” 7 “I don’t want them changed.” He looked at her. “Do you real- ly mean that?” Dan asked slowly. “Do you?” “You know that I do.” “You mean that if you knew it was going to be such hard work with bills piling up and never any good times—do you mean you'd want to marry me. if it was to do over again?” “Yes, Dan.” He scarcely heard her. It was the answer in Cherry's -bright eyes that made him catch her close. He held ber in both arms pressed tightly to his heart. His lps, eager and demanding, found the girl's. “You darling!” he whispered huskily. “Oh, you darling! eee ATER as Cherry, with her neglt- gee pulled tight about her, was putting the empty milk bottles in the hall Dan called to her. “Tell you what we'll do tomor- row, honey. We're going to step out!” “But, Dan, we can’t afford—” “Oh, don’t think I’m getting reck- less, We'll see a movie—one I can get passes for.” “That will be fun,” Cherry agreed. “Y'll have dinner ready the minute you get here, And it won't be canned beans, either! Something Bebe ft ©0932 Oy Mea service We. difficult and complicated to prepare like—ham and eggs!” They both laughed. “Don’t kno where you'd find anything better: Dan insisted. Peace and tranquility had been restored in the household. The threatening proolem of financial in- security had reared its ugly head and been put down—for the time. Dan and Cherry did see a motion picture the next evening, They sat hand in hand in the sem!-darkness while a lovely blond actress in the role of a princess lost her heart to an adventurous young American. They watched these two cleverly outwit the diplomats who tried to separate them. The young American was penniless but handsome and he was an audacious suitor, The blond princess sang wistful love songs. When the organ soloist began a Popular dance tune {it seemed to Cherry that the song was inspired, a masterpiece. The words flashed on the screen: “Come let us stroll down lovers’ lane | Once more to sing love's old re- | frain For we must say, “Auf Wiedersehn —Auf Wiedersehn, my dear—” A girl beside Cherry was singing in a high-pitched voice, Cherry did not sing but she was sure that she would never forget that song. It was beautiful though sad. She and Dan knew what it meant to stroll | down lovers’ lane but they would never, never part. They would never say “farewell” as the sweet- hearts in the song. Cherry’s hand, in Dan's, pressed closer, The song was concluded and a news reel flashed on the Screen. Twenty minutes later the two left the theater and walked down Twelfth street. They had gone less than a block when a gay voice hailed them. Max Pearson, crossing the street with great, swinging strides, was with them almost immediately, “Called your place half an hour ago,” he said, “but I couldn’t get an ahswer. What are you doing now?” “Nothing. Just on our way home.” =” “How about joining me for a lit- tle spin? It’s too fine a night to stay in door: Dan and Cherry agreed enthust- astically. They walked to the parking station where Pearson had left his car and all three crowded into the single seat. The roadster Was not to be compared with the smart little motor car that bad been Cherry's at home but the en- gine was ‘trustworthy. Soon they reached a highway along which buildings became farther and far- ther apart. Small stores, oll sta- tlons and low dwellings gave way for houses set in wide lawns. It was a neighborhood given to truck gardening. ! eve HERRY'S head was tilted back- ward. The breeze against ber cheeks was caressing—more like a June'night thathone in May. Well, June was not 6o far ahead. The moon, a silvery half-shell, suddenly appeared from behind clouds. From @ ploughed field there came the rich, warm odor of fresh earth. “It 1s a wonderful night!” Cherry said. “And wonderful to get away from the city, too!” “You miss that roadster of yours, don’t you?” Dan asked. “Not when Max is so genorous.” She was careful throughout the drive and later when Pearson lin- gered at the apartment before say- ing, good-night not to give him the opportunity to address her private- ly. When she spoke it was always to both men and not once did her eyes meet Pearson's in one of those compelling exchanges that could be so disturbing. Something of this must have come to Dan's, notice. He asked, when he and Cherry were alone in the apartment, “Say, don’t you like Max? I thought you two were go- ing to be friends.” “Why, we are!” - “You didn’t seem very friendly tonight. I'm sure Max noticed it.” “I thought I was polite—” “Oh, sure! Of course you were Polite. You couldn't be anything else! Trouble was you were 80 darned polite and formal I think Max was offended.” ‘ Cherry’s back was toward her husband. “I hope not,” she said, “I didn’t mean to offend him. The next time he comes I'll try to seem more cordial.” “That's all right,” Dan said. “The only thing is Max is such a prince I wanted to be sure you like him. We ought to have Max around @ lot, don’t you think so?” Cherry agreed that they should. She asked Dan if he had remem- bered to wind the clock and the conversation about Pearson was ended. . Three days followed in which the household routine went smoothly. The meals Cherry cooked were ap- petizing and Dan praised them. Spurred by this appreciation the tiny apartment became a model of spic and span order, Cherry, in a becoming gown, was smiling and cheerful each evening when Dan ar- rived. She entertained him with lively reviews of the day, listened with interest to the things he had to tell, They went for walks in the spring twilight and drank in the sweetness of lilac hedges, heavily laden with blossoms, of syringas and fruit trees. The neighborhood ot Kensington Circle was old-fash- foned enough to include several homes with gardens behind high board fences, The fences could not shut in the sweetness of the flowers, Then on the morning of the fourth day Cherry found a letter slipped beneath the door. It was almost the first that had come to her at the new home and she stared at it in surprise, She picked up the envelope and studied tho handwriting. Almost before she opened it Cherry knew the letter meant trouble. (To Ke Continued) Vip? Ay bey
