OF COURSE.
Several states permit votes to be
taken on the choice of the people for
senators and candidates for the leg
islature to pledge themselves to vote
tu accordance with the will of the
people as thus declared, regardless
of party. The Supreme court of
North Dakota has Just decided that
iuvU'.Iki of .i legislature thus pledg
.-1 cannot be compelled to keep their
pledges. Commenting ou * this the
San Francisco Chronicle says:
Of course they cannot. Everybody
knew that. The method of choosing
United States senators is determined
bv the Coustitutlou of the United
States, aud no state legislation can
in any way affect it. But neither
does the federal constitution prevent
legislators from promising to vote
as their constituents direct. If, how
ever. they make these pledges no
power on earth except their own
sense oJ decency can prevent <hem
from "welching." If a man desires
to publicly confess himself a liar and
a sneak he has the moral ? no, the
iui moral ? right to do so. And if a
legislator thus pledged should thus
violate his promise it would be ut
terly 'legal for his constituents to
duck him in a horse pond after he
got borne. But they might do It and
take their chances with the law and
the recording angel.
Chicago rather put a crimp in that
record (or speed claimed with so
much warrant tor Canadian justice
when a distinguished citizen was yes
terday plucked from a high place in
public esteem and soeial station and
j-t-nt on his way to the peuitentiary

THE PARTING OF LAUNCeLOT
AND GUINEVERE.
INTO a high walled nunnery had fled
yueen Guinevere, amid the ahad* to
w??P
And to repent mid solemn boughs ul
love
The cold globe of the moo a, but now u
aha
Meekly the scarcely breathing garden
.walked
Shu saw and atood and swooned at
Launcelot.
Who burned In sudden steel like a blue
flame
Amid the cloister. Then, when ahe re
vived.
He came antj looked on her. In the dark
place
So pale her beauty was, the sweetness
such.
That he half closed his eyes and deeply
breathed.
And as he (axed there came Into Ms
mind
That night of May, with pulsing stars, the
strange
Perfumed darkness and delicious guilt
In silent hour, but at the last he said,
"Suffer ine. lady, but to kiss thy lips
Once and to go away forevermore."
But she replied: "Nay: I beseech thee gol
Sweet were those kisses In the deep of
night.
But from those kisses Is this ruin come.
Sweet was thy touch, but now I wall at It
And 1 have hope to see the face of Christ.
Many are saints In heaven who sinned
as I."
Then said he. "Since It is thy wiii 1 go."
But those who stood around could scarce
endure
To see the dolor of these two. for he
Swooned In his burning armor to her face.
And both cried out as at the touch of
spear*.
And as two treee at midnight when the
breese
Comes over them now to each other bend
And now withdraw, so mournfully these
two
Still drooped together and still drew a^ort.
Then like on* dead her ladle* bora a Way
The heavy queen, and Launcelot went out
And through a forest weepln# rode all
night.
?Stephen Phillips.
DECEMBER SMART SET
America's next war forms the
theme of the complete novel publish
ed in the December number of The
Smart Set.? This is an imaginative
romance by Arthur Stanley Riggs,
whose fancy soars to almost as great
heights in dealing with the future as
did that of Jules Verne. In this nov
el. "In Quest of Fame," the author
cleverly interrupts now and then the
progress of a charming lore atory to <
draw a very logical picture of the ;
conditions that may bring on an ul- j
timate conflict within the next two |
decades. The clashing of ponderous
armored fleets, the swift swooping
of aerial croft, great cities crashing
down amid ruin and riot and the
thrilling exploits of the hero make
one of the most readable stories of
the month.
Among other Smart Set fiction of
the month are to b aoted "Seven
teen Candles," by George Bronson
Howard, an eerie, fanciful tale fit to
be told by an open fire under shaded
lights; "Consequences," by Leigh
Gordon Giltner, a story of a love
won after marriage; "In Deep Wat
ers," a story of primeval passions,
by Walter Hackett; "Symphonies
and Oysters," by Grace Ellery Chan
niug; "The Love of Canulnelle," by
Mary McNeil hVuolloaa; "God or
Man?" by Lulah Kagsdale and "The
Serious Side," by Owen Oliver.

Two years ago a certain quartz pros

quartz producer in that district.
