Immortals of American History
There are many, many, immortals of American
history. There are two who have passed out of the
picture and the living third is the new chief Justice
of the supreme court of the United States.
Roger Williams planted the flag of the Baptist
faith among the New England Puritans. Wales was
his place of birth. And the Massachusetts colony his
place of activity. As for the Puritans, they disliked
his teachings and loathed his convictions.
They finally agreed he could preach the gospel of
religious liberty "for all Christians.” He refused the
compromise. His battle cry was “religious liberty for
all mankind.'' For safety he was compelled to flee
from the Puritan settlements and seek refuge in the
wigwams of the wild Indians of New England.
Then came Thomas Jefferson, the greatest of
Americans living or dead. He was of the Welsh Stock.
His forebears came from the Welsh mountains. Rog
er Williams is an immortal of history and Thomas
Jefferson will live while history lasts.
Charles Evans Hughes is of Welsh origin. He be
lieves in the fundamentals of the gospel that Roger
Williams preached and the bill of rights that Thomas
Jefferson had a hand In making. This Is his rec
ord to date. As for the future the record may be
improved or marred, but not if Hughes walks in his
beaten path of the past as to the basic fundamentals
of government given to the American republic by
the early fathers.
Thomas Jefferson believed In one flag and ccuol
rights for all. Roger Williams believed in rellgicus
liberty for all mankind—not for all Christians.
Now the torch has been placed In the hands of
Charles Evans Hughes. Those who know him best
predict that he will carry it fearlessly and loyally.
Time will tell the story.
Mexico
In the red lottery of assassins and assassinations
Mexico has drawn nnnv bloody prizes. Throughout
the centuries or since the Cortez blight fell upon the
Indians of the Aztec empire, the assassin has ever
been in evidence.
Tills is the truth of history, but why recall ancient
history or all that happene before the abdication
of Porfirio Diaz and his forced departure for an alien
land?
In recent years Carranza became an all-powerful
figure. An assassin's bullet terminated his rule and
ended his life.
Before hts passing Huerta, the soldier, picked up
the reins where Diaz tossed them aside. Huerta died
In an American prison on Texas soil. This while
Woodrow Wilson was president of the United States.
Next came the ill-fated Medero. He was as mild as
a dove In a land where iron handed soldiers had rul
ed with steel gloves.
Madero had a colorless reign, a very brief one, and
then found repose in a bloody grave.
Obregon was a towering figure on the stage. He
was a soldier and a statesman, a man of iron, who
had his dreams of the future, of Mexico and the
elevation of the peon class to citizenship of a high
order,
He was elected president. An assassin’s bullet sent
him to a bloody grave before the day fixed for his
Inauguration.
Then came Portes Gil aa the successor of Calles.
Then came a general election, and Pascual Rubio
was declared to be the choice of the voters of Mexico
by an overwhelming majority.
Rubio's defeated rival swore that he had been rob
bed of his victory and fled the country. Inaugura
tion day came for Rubio.
After Inauguration. In his triumphal march from
halls of legislation to the palace of the president, an
assassin fired five shots st the man who wields the
sceptre of power and holds in his hand the Mexican
sword of destiny.
As if by performance of a miracle, the life of Rubio
was spared. One bullet entered the left jaw and lodg
ed in the right. He never lost his nerve. He never
lost his head. >
His surgeons say that the wound will heal rapidly
and that this descendant of an Aztec emperor of the
long ago will carry out the program of the revolution
ary reform party which calls for the rehabilitation
of Mexican finance and the material uplift of the
millions of Mexicans who are landless and penni
less. largely through no fault of their own.
Of course a conspiracy is charged by the govern
ment and the would-be assassin of President Rubio,
a youth of 25. is a follower of the defeated rival of
Rubio who fled the land of his nativity after predict
ing an uprising in the very near future.
It will be a bloody grave for the assassin. It will
be bloody graves, perhaps, for many of his associates,
regardless of their innocence or their guilt.
Out of the long carnival of blood and smoke and
fire and rapine, some day Mexico will take its place
among the nations.
Then the red lottery of political assassination will
be discarded and the vanquished will gracefully yield
to the victors called to high or minor place by a
majority of the ballots of the qualified voters of the
sister republic. Let us hope that the millenlal dawn
of Mexico is so close at hand that men of vision
without the need of glasses can discern In the dis
tance the vanguard of the marching order of peace
and prosperity, high economic endeavor, patriotic pur
pose and the total eclipse of the assassin of the
crazed brain and the crimson hand.
Chicago in the Picture
Municipally speaking. Chicago is bankrupt. Mu
nicipally speaking, most of the time Chicago is ruled
by a stalwart republican statesman, Mayor Big Bill
Thompson.
He is the pride of the Black Battalion of the black
districts of Chicago.
He is the pride of the stalwart republican machine
of Chicago.
He has the backing of the underworld of Chicago.
Now Big Bill and his bands of patriots have beer,
compelled to accept a dictatorship and the dictator
is Silas H. Strawn of the citizens* rescue committee.
Dictator Strawn and his hardboiled business men
will advance $50,000,000 to get Big Bill and that Chi
cago represented by Big Bill out of the financial mud.
There Isn’t a great city In the world where the ad
ministration of affairs has been as disgraceful and
dishonest.
Why tallk of Boss Tweed? He was a mere piker.
Why talk of all the crooked political bosses of his
tory? They were amateurs.
Big Bill and his Black Battalions and his under
world mob keep Illinois In the republican column of
states, and In Indiana the steel centers furnish the
votes to keep in the senate of the United States
“Slippery Jim" Watson and his henchmen. Demo
cratic and progressive leaders of many parts or sec
tions of the country may be the sons of wild jack
asses. but they have something to their credit when
It comes to practicing honesty In government and an
American regard for the rights of the taxpayer.
Scotch Bishop Lauds America
Bishop P. L. Dean. Episcopal prelate of Scotland,
is touring America. He loves America and American
ways. This Is what he said to the professional men
of Omaha: "You Americans Invented the League
of Nations, you know, and then wouldn’t join it:
you Invented the Treaty of Versailles, and would not
sign it; you invented the cocktail, and now you won’t
drink it. We admire you Immensely.” How about
the cocktail? Americans Invented it. and they do
drink it. Millions of them drink it.
The thing that caused that Spanish dictator to
quit was the fact he so frequently heard the Spani
ards singing “Old Man Rivera, He Don't Say Nuthin*.
He Don’t Do Nuthin’.”

Herbert Maxwell, guardian of Pa-1
taricla and Jimmy Blair, twins and
joint heirs to an immense estate,
makes away with half of their for
tune through the substitution of a
fake brother at the settlement of the
estate at New Yore. Jimmy, an
aphasia victim, is held captive by
Maxwell. Nurse Margery Lynne, and
Lieutenant Rex Dallard and Dr.
Frank Gordon, both in love with
Pat, attempt to frustrate the plot,
but fail. Then Jimmy is discovered
through a friend of Margery's, who
recognizes his picture as that of a
man under care at her father's sanl
torium. He and his sister are brought
together once more.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
CHAPTER 40
“They are two very dear pals of
ours whom we met in France," she
explained. “Lieutenant Rex Dallard
and Dr. Frank Gofdon. We both
met the lieutenant first in the field
hospital at C—, after he had been
carried nearly a mile by Jimmy
here from a shell hole in No Man s
Land almost to the American
trench. It was there and then that
the big shell dropped that injured
poor Jimmy so terribly!”
She went on then outlining In
terse, abbreviated from the story
of Jimmy's and the lieutenant's
arrival at the hospital, the latter
paralyzed from the hips down. She
told of Pat's and Dr. Gordon's
coming with the young man Pat
had mistaken for her brother when
he had crashed in his airplane al
most at her feet; how Pat missed
seeing the real Jimmy and went
back to Paris to be kidnaped, and
then of the fake brother's and Jim
my's removal to Paris to be fol
lowed immediately by Dallard and
herself: of Jimmy’s kidnaping, of
Maxwell's coming and return to
New York with the pseudo brother.
and finally of Pat's release by the
Leclercs and the quartet's return to
New York. The reaminder of the
story she had told her on the jour
ney out to Yonkers.
“Why. it’s the most wonderful, the
most astounding and most dramatic
story I've ever hear!” proclaimed
the romance-loving Lucy, her blue
eyes big with awe. “Just to think
that anvthing like that can happen
in real life!”
“There are more wonderful things.)
probably, things more astonishing
and more dramatic happening every;
dav in real life than can ever con- i
sistently happen in fiction." averred
Margery, sagely, from out of the
vast knowledge of her own large
worldly experience.
“I suppose a story written around
and describing, with strict attention
to truth, this scheme of Maxwell's!
would be ridiculed if embodied In a
book of fiction." said Pat. whose un
qualified resoect for her friend's
keen observations on life and hu

man nature had grown out of a
daily association with the other and
a fine appreciation of that others
capabilities. She patted the hand
she had been holding of the young
man at her side as her thoughts
flashed back with kaleidoscopic
rapidity over the series of astonish
ing events that had gone into the
workings and the successful ter
mination, up to date, at least, of
Maxwell's scheme to rob Jimmy of
fourteen million dollars.
Oh, well, she consoled herself,
.nmmy should be none the loser even
If they failed to force Maxwell to
disgorge. In such an event and if
Jimmy recovered, as he would, she
was sure, she would turn her share
over to him.
And yet she knew In her heart,
even as she told herself what she
would do, that Jimmy, with his
mind all straightened out properly,
would never accept more than half,
at the most, of the fourteen million
then in her nairt and in her de
posit box.
"The only part in tills daylight
robbery of old Maxwell's,” said
Margery in ansyer to Pat's passing
observation, “that is particularly
grange or might tax the belief a
the public is the airplane accident
in which the man who looks like
your brother the man who robbed
him of letters, tag and uniform,
happened to crash to the earth Just
where Dr. Gordon and you should
see it all and bring him to the hos
pital. And the strangest part of
that, to me, is that you should
have mistaken him for Jimmy! But
then,” she added in extenuation of
that action, “his face was all cover
ed with dirt and blood at the time,
you were greatly excited, and. to
make confusion worse confounded*
he had Jimmy's letters and tag.
And then. too. you hadn’t seen Jim
my in fourteen months!”
"It does seem ridiculous to me
now," said Pat. still caressing iri
an absentmlnded way the hand of
her brother, "that I could have been
fooled so easily. And yet—" She
turned suddenly and looked into
the face of the young man at her
side. Then, after a moment’s study,
she turned back, her gaze embrac
ing the two girls. "I'm certain now’,"
she continued, ‘that I really knew,
in a sort of sub-conscious way,
even while I was accepting Him as
Jimmy that he wasn't Jimmy at j
all! I revolted at the very thought
of kissing him—and I didn’t kiss
him. although I would—" She flash
ed that Jimmy a smile that was
a revelation of lo\e and tenderness
—"even if he had been covered
with blood and dirt!”
Rex Dallard frowned, dropped
down with a weary gesture in the
big leather chair and lit a cigaret.
Then he frowned again. Dr. Gor
don. seated in the deep leather
chair opposite, noted the frown
and he, too. frowned Just for com- ;
panv. and both men were miserably
tired and miserably disappointed—
and disgusted with the fruitless
outcome of their day’s determined
efforts. They had interviewed the
officials at no less than eight dif- ;
ferent institutions In and around
Mt. Vernon and had failed utterly
to get the faintest clue to or of
Jimmy Blair. As he thought of the
dismal result of their day's work
the doctor frowned again. Then,
the telephone on the table across
the room jangled and the doctor
SWOre—softly. He felt better im
mediately and looked across at his
companion. That worthy young
man looked back at him. grinned
wearily and made a motion as if
to rise. The doctor wig-wagged in
the old trench code signifying stay
down. Then he rose.
"Keep your scat, old man.” he
said quickly, as he gained his feet.
"I'll answer it!”
He stepped over to the table,
picked up the phone and lifting off
the receiver clamped it to his left
ear. The doctor listened left-hand
edly. Rex watched him more or
less apathetically.
"Yes” he heard the other say.
"this is Dr. Gordon. Who Is—oh.
hello, Margery! How are you, any
way, and how is Pat?"
Rex s apathy vanished instantly
and his ears perked up with a sud
den interest in things. He sat up
straight.
"What's that." he heard the doc
tor ask, a new snap to his voice.
"What’s that—you've found Jim
my? Out at Yonkers? You’ve got
him home with you now? Hooray!
That’s bully!" Then after a wait
of a minute or two during which
Rex sat in a sweat of tense anxiety:
"Sure thing! You bet! All right—
so long!"
Slam went the receiver Into Its
hook! the doctor whirled! Slam
went the phone, slapped down on
the table.
"What do you think of that?”
broke out the man who had just
done all the slamming. "They've
got Jimmy Blair all safe and sound
at Margery’s home!”
He recounted briefly the story as
told to him over the wire.

over for dinner!" he said at the
finish. "This Lucy Pine is with
them. Shall we go?" The query was
accompanied by a large gesture.
"No!" barked Rex Daliard. who
swore only when he was mad or
glad. "Tell Margery we can't come!"
He rushed for the bathroom in a
hurry to acquire a shave. "And we
can't!" he added over his shoulder.
"Were going—not coming!"
Jimmy Blair's first meeting In
New York with Rex Daliard and
Dr. Gordon, the two unofficial
livals lor his sister's favor, mark
ed no epoch in the lives of the men
for historians to shoot at. It was
Just that he met again, without
lealization, the man in the saving
of whose life he had stepped into
a situation that had made him the
plaything of fate.
