MITTKEM \\»
Tile Republicans of the State seem
to he having some difficulty in agree- 1
fell! on a successor to Judge John J.
Parker as National Committeeman.
There are plenty of men willing to
take the job but leaders of the party
are Uncertain just where the honor
should go
The l*nion Kepubliean in n recent
issue, charged the Democrats with
. trying to stir up strife in the matter
by suggesting several men who in the
opinion of that newspaper are not
‘Wegular" enough to be considered.
The I’uion Republican found no fault
with t 111"-* 1 men whom it charged had
Democratic backing, except that they
had not been prominent in Republican
circles long enough.
The Democrats arc not in this con
troversy at all. Surely tlic Union lie
publican docs not argue that Demo
cratic newspapers cannot make sug
gestions concerning the Republican
party. The Democratic papers arc
not going to support anybody but
. they have tile right to make a sug
gestion. They are serving the gen
eral-public and I hey have the right
to make suggestions that they think
will be to the benefit of the public.
Democratic papers, including tills one,
suggested Judge Parker for the posi
tion he now holds. Does the Pnion
Republican think ivc overstepped po
litical bounds or any other kind for
making the suggestionV
Os course the Union Republican '
; sees a trick in the interest being tak
en in the matter by Democrats. It
intimates that in its opinion, the .
Democrats would suggest no one ex- j
cept a man calculated so be displeas
ing to the rank and tile of Republi
cans in the State. That attitude is
entirely wrong. Those Democratic
papers which have made suggestions
mimed men who would be a credit to
their party, men not necessarily prom
% {pent politically, but men calculated
to handle the job in good fashion. j
K It is not a Democratic controversy,
| to be sure, but Democrats are inter
v ested enough in the future of their
' State and Nation to want to see the
l.fecst men possible put an positions of
l respmis’hility, even when the man
, named to such place is not a member
of their party.
LOSING INTEREST IN VOTING.
■r
Bite Figures published recently showed
if jtbat -forty years ago 80 per cent, of
t «hc American people cast their ballots
in the Presidential ; elections. Last
i year and ulso in 1920 only about 50
per sent, of the people exercised tlic
rJwMne. right.
f. '4Qar*laek of interest in Ibis matter.
raBKH&a prelates cios. ly to our govern
i lipplits conduct, stands out
when contrasted with the
titude of the people of Great Britain
jfijh the same subject. In the last
HprihUmtetury ejection people of
Gnat Britain i '(vd 76 j"i cent.
||jrtroug and iu life electiou pjeccdlug
i the last one they voted 82 per cent,
strong. (■
There is another surprising thing
brought to light in connection with
I this question. Figures'show that the
foreign-born population of the United
1 States vote more generally than tbe
native-born. ,In other words the for-i
eigner takes more interest in his
adopted country than the American
does in his own country.
In discussing sach a condition The
Charlotte News issues a timely warn
ing. "A democracy cannot prevail as
a democracy." says The Charlotte con
temporary, "until a majority' of the
governed constitute a majority of those
who are they rulers thereof.”
We sit around and "cuss” and crit
icise our Governors. Senators, Repre
sentatives, Presidents, Sheriffs, May
ors and other officers, yet half of the
people who do the missing and criti
cising took so little interest in the
election in which these officers Were
selected that they didn't vote. Too
many of our people are content with
things as they find them politically.
It doesn’t make any difference to
them which parly is in power.

TRIO OF PUNCH BOARD
FRAUDS ARE IN JAIL
Man and Two Women Who Worked
Scheme oil Rural Stores Taken to
Caswell.
Danville. Va . Oct. 28.- -The arrest
lias been effected in Sniithrteld of a
trio eagerly sought by the Virginia
authorities who have been successful
in perpetrating a punch board fraud
in rural stores. A man and two
women travelling in a closed car
Chose responsible.
Most of the rural stores in this sec
't ion have punch boards on their coun
ters., Payment is required for each
chance and there are lucks numbers
for which prizes are given. The
stranger usually punched a few num
bers, put the slips in his pocket and
after noting the winning numerals
posted on tile board retired to his
car. and changed tlic unlucky num
bers he had drawn. Then lie returned,
played tile board again and presented
the forged numbers and drew the
prizes. _
C. K. Fowlkes operates a store at
Hell’s Half Acre on the Yaneeyvil'.e
road. He reads the paper and a few
days ago read of the punch board
scheme. When a stranger and two
women entered his store and played
the board he became suspicious. They
punched a few numbers and then
i left. Fowlkes put his revolver where
lit was handy, referred to his “key"
'of the board which is not exposed
to view and from tiie back of the
board extracted all (the winning
| numbers. ,
j Then the stranger returned and
punched the board again. With nil
feigning glee he announced 'that he
had punched all the willing num- .
bers and as he presented the slips
he had forged to Fowlkes he found
himse.f looking down the business
end of a revolver and Fowlkes told
him lie was acquainted with the
fraud.
i It was Fowlkes' intention to hold
'the party under the gun until Yan
ceyvi > officers arrived, but the
sUranger 'exhibited sangfroid, dared
Fowlkes to shoot and shepherded his
two companions out of the store and
muttering curses left. Fowlkes was
unwilling to fire under the eircum
sances. Yesterday afternoon word
came that lhe trio had been arrested
at Kmifhfield and they have been re
turned to Caswell county for trial.

CHAPTER XXII
Pierce Phillips possessed the aver
age ypurig American’s capacities for
good or evil. Had he fallen among
healthy surroundings upon his ar
rival at Dawson, in all probability
he would have experienced a healthy
growth. But, blown by the winds
of chance, he took root whore he
dropped—in the low grounds. Since
he possessed the youthful power of
quick and vigorous adaptation, lie
assumed a color to match his en
vironment. Os necessity this altera
tion was gradual; nevertheless, it
was real; without knowing it he
suffered a steady deterioration of
moral fiber and a progressive change*
in ideals.
His new life was easy; hours at
the Rialto were short and the pay
was high. Inasmuch as the place
was a playground where cares w-ere
forgotten, there was a wholly arti
ficial atmosphere of gaiety amt im
providence about it. When patrons
won at the gambling-games, they
promptly squandered their winnings
at the bar and in the theater; when
they lost, they cheerfully ignored
their ill-fortune. Even the gamblers
themselves shared this recklessness,
this prodigality; they made much
money; nevertheless, they were usu
ally broke. Most of them drank
quite as freely as dm tne customers.
This was not a temperance coun
try. Although alcohol was not con
sidered a food, it was none the less
regarded as a prime essential of
comfort and well-being. It was in
evitable, therefore, that Pierce Phil
lips, a youth in his growing age,
should adopt a good deal the same
habits, as well as the same spirit
and outlook, as the people with
whom he came in daily contact.
Vice is erroneously considered
hideous; it is supposed to have a
visage so repulsive that the simplest
stranger will shudder at sight of it
and turn of his own accord to more
attractive Virtue. If that were only
true! More often than not it is the
former that wears a smile and mas
querades in agreeable forms, while
the latter repels. This is true of the
complex life of the city, where a
marr has landmarks and guide-posts
of conduct to go by, and it is equally
true of t’je less complicated life of
the far frontier whgre he must blaze
his own tr-jil Along with the
strength and vigor and indepen
dence derived from the great out
doors, there comes also a freedom
of individual conduct, an impatience
at irksome restraints, that frequent
ly offsets any benefits that accrue,
fA>m such an environment.
So it was it Pierce’s case. He re
alized, subconsciously, that he was
changing, had changed; on the.
whole, he was glad of it. It filled
him with contemptuous amusement,
for instance, to look back upon his
old puritanical ideas. They seemed
now very narrow, very immature,
very impractical, and he was grati
fied at his broader vision. The most
significant alteration, however, en
tirely escaped his notice. That al
teration was one of outlook rather
•l;an of inlook. Bit by bit he had
come to regard the general crowd—
the miners, merchants, townspeople
—as outsiders, and himself as an in
sider—one of the wise, clever, ease
loving class which subsisted without
toil and for whom a freer code of
morals existed. Those outsiders
were stupid, hard-working; they
were somehow inferior. He and his
kind were of a higher, more ad
vanced oyder of intelligence; more
over, they were bound together by
the ties of a common purpose and
understanding and therefore enjoyed
privileges denied their lees efficient
brethren.
u - jackals were able to reason,
doubtless they would justify their
existence and prove their superior
ity to the common herd by some
such fatuous argument.
Pierce's complacency received its
first jolt when he discovered that lie
had lost caste in the eyes of the
better sort of people—people such
as he had been accustomed to asso
ciate with at home. This discovery
came as the result of a chance meet
ing with a stranger, and, but for it,
he probably would have remained
unaware of the t uth, for his newly
made friends had treated him "with
Consideration and nothing had oc
curred td disturb his complacency.
He had acquired a speaking ac
quaintance with many of the best
citizens, including Hie" Mounted Po
lice and even the ntgher Dominion
officials, all of whom came to the
Rialto. These men professed a gen
uine liking for him/and, inasmuch
•s his time was pretty full and there
was plenty of amusement close at
hand, he had never stopped to think
that the side of Dawson life which
he saw was merely the under side —
that a real speial community was
forming, with real homes on the
back streets,- where already women
of the better sort were living.
-After numerous half-hearted at
tempts, he arose one day about
noon; then, having eaten a tasteless
breakfast and strengthened his lan
guid determination by a stiff glass
of "hootch,” he strolled out of town,
Inking the first random trail that
offered itself. It was a wood trail,
lending nowhere in particular, a fact
'which precisely suited his resentful
I mood. His blood moved sluggishly,
|he wits short of breath, the coSd was
(bitter. Before long/he decided tfaaf
walking was a profitless and stulti
fying dccupation, a pastime ’’for
idiot* and solitaire-players; never
the tee*, he continued in the hope of
deriving some benefit, however in-
Mirnct nr remote.
| It was a still afternoon, A sil-
THE CONCORD OAH.Y TRIBUNE
very lyigntncai beyond the moun
tain far to the souiiward
sJjpwjnl where the low winter sun
was sweeping past on its flat arc.
The sky to the north was empty,
colorless. There had been no wind
for some time, and now the firs
sagged beneath burdens of white;
eV.n the bare birch branches car
ried evenly balanced inch-deep lay
ers of snow. Underfoot, the earth
was smothered in a feathery shroud
as light, as clean as the purest
swan's-down, and into it Pierce’s
moccasins sank to the ankles. . H «.
walked as silently as a ghost.
Through this queer, breathless hush
the sounds of chopping, of distant
, voices, of an occasional dog barking
followed him as he went deeper into
the; woods. v
Time was when merely to be out
in th forest on such a day would
have pleased him, but gone entirely
there Came now an irritation at the
physical Discomfort it entaifcd. ✓He
soon began to perspire freely, too
freely; nevertheless, there was no
glow to his body; he could think
only of easy-chairs and warm stoves.
He wondered what ailed him. Noth
ing could be more abhorrent than
this, he told himself. Health was a
valuable thing, no doubt, and he
was that pleasure, and in its place
agreed that no price was too high
to pay for it—no price, perhaps, ex
cept dull, uninteresting exercise of
this sort. He was upon the point
of turning back when the trail sud
denly broke out into a natural clear
ing and he saw something which
challenged his attention.
To the left of the path rose a
steep bank, and beyond that the
bare, sloping mountain-side. In the
shelter of the bank the snow had
drifted deep, but, oddly enough, its
placid surface was churned up, as if
front an explosion or some desper
ate conflict th.at had been latcfy
waged. It had been toiscd up and
t’.rdwn down. What taused him to
stare was the fact that no footprints
were dbcernijle nothing except
queer, wavering parallel strca’.s that
led downward from the snowy tur
moil to the level ground below.
They resembled the tracks of some
oddly fashioned sled.
Pierce halted, and with bent head
was studying the phenomenon,
when close above him he heard the
rush of a swiftly approaching body; -
!:c looked up just in time to behold
aif apparition utterly unexpected,
utterly astounding. Swooping di
. . . what seemed at first glance to
be a bird-woman . . .
rectly down upon him with incredi
ble velocity was what seemed at
first glance to be a bird-woman, a'
valkyr out of the pages of Norse
mythology. Wingless she was, yet
she came like the wind, and at the
very instant Pierce raised his eyes
she took the air almost over his
head—quite as if he had startled her
into an upward flight. Upon her
feet was a pair of long, Norwegian
skees, and upon these she had
scudded down the mountainside;
where the bank dropped away she
had leaped, and now, like a meteor,
she soared into space. This amaz
ing creature was clad in a blue-and
wr.ite toboggan suit, short skirt,
sweater jacPet, and knitted cap. As
she hung outlined against the wintry
sky Pierce caught a snap-shot
glimpse of a fair, flushed, youthful
face set in a ludicrous expression of
open-mouthed dismay at sight of
him. He heard, too, a high-pitched
cry, half of warning, half of fright;
the next instant there was a mighty
upheaval of snow, an explosion, of
feathery white, as the human pro
jectile landed, then a blur of blue
and-white stripes as it went rolling
down the declivity.
“Good Lord!” Pierce cried, aghast;
then he sped after, the apparition.
Only for the of that un
i li-gnified tumble, he would have
• doubted the reality of this flying
1 Venus and considered her some
: creature of his imagination. There
i she lay, however, a thing of flesh
. and blood, bruised, broken, heln’ess;
• apprehensively he pictured himself
: staggering back to town with her in
i his arms.
He halted, speechless, when the
» girl sat up, shook the snow out of
, her hair, gingerly felt v one elbow,
! then the other, and finally burst into
, a peal of ringing laughter. The face
t she lifted to his, now that it wore a
1 normal expression, was whollv
, charming; it was. in fact, about the
i freshest, the cleanest, the healthiest
E and the frankest countenance he
• had ever looked into.'

Fierce glanced apprehensively M
the bluff overhead. “Hadn't we bet

quired. “If the royal family comes
dropping in, we'll be ironed out like a

“There isn't any king—nor anj

The girl nodded.

“Have you ever ridden them?” ths
girl inquired, quickly.
“Never.”
“You " don’t know what fun is.

detached her feet from the straps,
"Just have a go at it.” Pierce pro
tested. but she insisted in a busi

too long for me. ThcvHl just suis

“Really, I don’t care to —"
“Oh yCs, you do. You must.”

“You needn’t jump right away."

there was a dancing light of malic*

“Nothing of the sort. I was

with blue-and-white stripes, and 1
was afraid it was going to fly away

then—” He, slowly finished buck*
ling the rgnners to his feet and,
looked up interrogatively. “What
are your Majesty’s orders?”
“Walk around. Slide down tUv
hill.”
“What on?” V
The girl smothered a laugh and
/ waved him away. She looked on
while he set off with mo-e or less
caution. When he managed to
maintain an upright position despite
the antics of his skees her face ex
pressed genuine disappointment.
“It’s not so hard as I thought it
would be,” he soon announced, tri
umphantly. “A little awkward as
first, but—” he cast an eye up a*
the bank. “You never know what
,vou can do .until you try.”
’’You’ve been skeeing before,” stm
accused him, reproachfully.
“Never.”
“Then you pick it up wonderfully.

Her mocking invitation spurred
him to make the effort, so he re
