port of accented progressive prin
ciples and policies."
Senator Borah says the future of
the progressive movement does not
necessarily demand the organization
of a, new partyunless a "liberal
and sane" legislative program laid
down iby the progressive group is re
jected i the party in power.
"I eleariy foresee a new political
line-up," says Lindley M. Garrison,
former member of President Wil
son's cabinet. "The political division
which is ahead of us will take this
cleavage: The conservatives of both
parties againrt the radicals of both
parties and it will be safer if this is
done by the above-board formation
of a third party under a new name,
and 'by scrapping one or both of the
old parties, or perhaps welding them
under a hyphenated name."
CoMtitution Seen a* Dividing Line
Garrison would call it the Liberal
Conservative party with the consti
tution acting as a sort of dividing
lfne between conservative and radi
cal opjaion.
SMftalr methods, in some respects,
are advocated by Nicholas Murray
Butler, president of the Columbia
University, who says:
"The overwhelming majority of
Republicans and the overwhelming
majority of Democrats who are in
substantial agreement on all funda
mentals should speedily find ways to
take such 'Steps as may be necessary
to form a Democratic-Kepublican
party, whjch would represent the
predominant idealism of cur people
"Over against such a progress ve
liberal party there would naturally
be gamzed a distinctly radical
party to which should go all those
who now call themselves Democrats
or Republicans, but who are in realty
neither."
Samuel M. Vaullain, president of
t'ie Baldwin Locomotive Works, re
plies laconically to the survey ques
tionaire: "I can see no necessity for
a third political party-"
The same reply is made by George
Record, friend of Tneodore Roose
velt and Bull Moose supporter, and
recently a New Jersey senatorial
candidate on the Republican ticket.
Record thinks a new political party
is not "feasible" but wi.l eome gra
dually after the fasrion of the crea
tion of the Republican party.
Smith W. Brookhart, new senator
from Iowa, agrees. He 3ays: "I do
not believe any necessity exists for
a new party. Wllat I believe shoulu
and will come is progressive control
ML the Republican party."
Like Record, 'Senator Ladd of
North Dakota thinks history will re
peat. He says: "No three parties
are continuously possible. The peo
ple will either take over one of the
existing parties or form a new party
as at the time of the Civil War."
"What we need," says Senator
Norris, of Nebraska, "is less, not
more partyism. Rather than a new
party, I should like to see increased
independence by the voter."
Need Lata, Not More Partiam
Senator Norris adds that the chief
evil lies in the. fact that people must
vote for candidatesespecially presi
dential candidateswho are chosen
ruch believes' the difficulty lies in
by organization leaders. B. M. Ba
blind voting by perople aligned with
one party or the other for candidates
nominated by that party.
In declaring he had no intention
of leaving the Democraic party in
order to organize a new political
party a recently suggeted, Baruch
said he believed in the constructive
liberalism of the Democratic party.
He said he thought those who have
liberal and constructive ideas should
get them incorporated into the old
parties.
Predicting that progressives will
control the Republican party within
the next few years, Senator Capper
of Kansas says:
"I do not look for any third party.
However, the progressive spirit justi
fies hope that the new spirit of the
people Can direct action through the
present parties."
Says Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of La
bor: "If both parties commit them
selves to reaction, then both are
doomed. But from the standpoint
of today, I do not se the need for a
third party."

Although these arrangements had
some effect in promoting political
stability 'in Central -America, their
aims were never entirely fulfilled.
During the last fifteen years var
ious political movements have oc
curred ..among the five republics
most important of which were steps
toward a Ceirtral American union.
This union could not be completed,
partly because, of the nonparticipa
tion of Nicaragua, and during the
last two years there has been a gen
eral condition of political unrest
among the Central Republics
Upon the initiative of Nicaragua,
a meting was' held last August 20,
aboard the U. S. S. Tacoma, in Pon
seca Bz, between the presidents of
Nicaragua, Honduras and Salvador,
looking toward the establishment of
peaceful relations between these
three countries. The call for the pre
sent conference at Washington is
the result of that conference
At the meeting aboard the Tacoma
the governments of Guatemala and
Costa Rica were invited to accept
..ne agreement reached there. They
replied that such adherence was not
necessaiy as they regarded the treaty
of 1907 as still in force and intended
to abide by its provisions.
This revelation of a unanimous
wish for peaceful solution of Central
American difficulties paved the way
for the United States State Depart
ment to issue an invitation for a new
conference at Washington, in whjch
the former treaties would be revised
and enlarged and other important
matters discussed.
The result was the issuance of an
invitation "through the American
Legations in capitals of the five Cen
tral American Republics for the con
ference now convened.

CHAPTER XIII
Changes at Forlorn River.
The first of March saw the federal
occupation of the garrison at Casita.
After a short, decisive engagement
the rebels were dispersed into small
bands and driven eastward along the
boundary line toward Nogales.
It was the destiny of Forlorn River,
hov.ever, never to return to the slow,
Sleepy tenoi^f its former existence.
Belding's predictions came true. That
straggling line of home-seekers was
but a forerunner of the real invasion
of Altar valley. Refugees from Alex
i ico and from Casita spread the word
that water and wood and grass and
land were to be had at Forlorn River
and as if by magic the white tents and
red adobe houses sprang up to glisten
in the sun.
Belding was happier than he had
been for a long time. He believed I
that evil days for Forlorn River.
along with the apathy and lack of
enterprise, were in the past. He hired i
a couple of trustworthy Mexicans to
ride the boundary line, and he settled
down to think of ranching and irriga
tion and mining projects. Every morn
ing he expected to receive some word
from Sonoyta or Yuma, telling him
that Yaqui had guided his party safe
ly across the desert.
Among the many changes coming to
pass in Forlorn River were, the install
ing of post office service and the
building of a mescal drinkintr-house
Belding had worked hard for the post
office, but he did not like the idea of
a saloon for Forlorn River. Still,
that was an Inevitable evil. The Mex
icans would hare mescal. A good
many Americans drifted into Forlorn
Riverminers, cowboys, prospectors,
outlaws, and others of nondescript
character and thqse men, of course,
made the saloon, which was also an
Inn, their headquarters. Belding, with
Carter ahd-other old residents, saw
the need of a sheriff for Forlorn
River.
One morning early in this spring
month, while Belding was on his way
from the house to the corrals, he saw
Nell running Blanco Jose down the
rood at a gait that amazed him. She
did not take the turn of the road to
come in by the gate. She put Jose at
a four-foot wire fence, and came
clattering into the yard.
It did not take more than half an
eye for Belding to see that she was
furious.
"Nell, what's come off now?" asked
Belding.
"I'm not going to tell you," she re
plied, and started away, leading Jose
toward the corral.
Belding leisurely followed. She
went into the corral, removed Jose's
bridle, and led him to the watering
trough. Belding came up, and with
out saying anything began to unbuckle
Jose's saddle girths. But he ventured
a look at Nell. The red had gone from
her face, and he was surprised io see
her eyes brimming with tears. Most
assuredly this was not one of Nell's
tantrums. While taking off Jose's
saddle sad hanging it In the shed
Belding pondered in his sdow way.
When he came back to the oorral Nell
had her face against the bars, and
she was crying. He slipped a big arm
around her and waited.
"Dad. I don't want you to think me
aa baby any more," she said. ',Tve
been Insulted."
With a specific fact to make clear
thought in Belding's mind he was
never slow.
"I knew something unusual had
come off. guess you'd better tell
me."
"Dad. I will, If you promise."
"What?" "Not to mention it to mother, not
to pack a gun down there, and never,
never tell Dick."
Belding was silent. Seldom did he
make promises readily
"If you don't promises I'll never tell,1!
that's.all," she declared, firmly/
BcMing deliberated a little longer.l
He lraew the girl.
"Well. I promise not to tell moth-
er," he said, presently "and seeing
you'r here safe and well, I guess I
won't go packing a gun down there,
wherever that is. But I won't promise
to kep anything from E*ick that per
haps he ought to know."
7 fell, regaining her com posure, wiped
hf:r eyes and smoothed beck her hair.
"The other day, Wednesday," she
tegan, "I was coming 1 tome, and in
front of that mescal di finking place
there was a crowd. It 'was a noisy
crowd. I didn't want to walk out Into
the street or seem afral-M. But I had
to do both. There were /several young

across the walk and smiled at me. I
had to go out in the road. One of
them, the rudest, followed me. He
was a big fellow, red-faced, with prom
inent eyes and a bold look. He came
up beside me and spoke to me. I ran
home. And as I ran I heard his com
panions jeering.
"Well, today, just now, when I wa3
riding up the valley mad I came upon
the same fellows. They had instru
ments and were surveying. Remem
bering Dick, and how he always
wished for an instrument to help work
out his plan for irrigation, I was cer
tainly surprised to see these strangers
surveyingand surveying upon Lad
dy's plot of land. It was a sandy
road there, and Jose happened to be
walking. So I reined in and asked
these engineers what they were do
ing. The leader, who was that same
bold fellow who had followed me,
seemed much pleased at being ad
dressed. He said he was glad to tell
me he was going to run water all over
Altar valley. Dad. you can bet that
made me wild. That was Dick's plan,
his discovery, and here were surveyors
on Laddy's claim.
"Then I told him that he was work
ing on private land and he'd better
get off. lie said something about not
seeing any squatters on the land, and
then he shut up tight on that score.
But he began to be flirty again. He
got hold of Jose's hiidle, and before
I could catch my breath he said I
was a peach, that'hf wanted to make
a-date with me. that ,his name was
Chase, that be owned a gold mine in
Mexico. He said a lot more I didn't
gather, but when he called me
'Dearie' Iwell. I lost ray temper.
"I jerked on the bridle and told him
to let go. He held on and rolled his
eyes at me. He seemed sure of con
quest. One thing wag certain, he
didn't know th& least bit about horses.
It scared me the way be got in front
of Jose. I thanked my stars I wasn't
up on Blanco Diable. Well, Dad, I'm
a little ashamed now, but I was mad.
I slashed him across the face with my
quirt. Jose jumped and knocked Mr.
Chase into the sand. I didn't get the
horse under control'till I was out of
sight of those surveyors, and then I
let him run home."
"Nell. guess you punished the fel
low enough. Maybe he's only a con
ceited softy. But I don't like that sort
of thing. It isn't western."
"I'm sorry now, Dad. Perhaps the
fellow was hurt. But what could I
do? Let's forget all about it. and 111
