At their Kansas City convention yes

changed their official name to that Of
tho Progressive Peoples party. The
regular wing Of the Populist party Is
affiliated too closely, they think, with
the Democratic party, one OF the ser
wants of the Money Devil, so there
was nothing TO do but cut loose entire
ly and choose a new name. The sug-
gestlon OF Gen. Carl Browne, of Coxey
army fame, that the Progressive party
should throw Editor Wharton Barker

Money Must be Had, But How? Is
the Puzzle.

Just now the Board of City Commits
sioners Is confronted by condition
that does not inf,sc much jovial hi
larity into it's daily deliberations.
The treasury is almost defunct, and
money is needed to pay the city en-
ployes. The law prohibits the issuing
of bonds to secure money with which
to run the city, and 1t would also not
be good form to take money out of
the general fund to use In bearing
departmental expenses.
Council will be called on to furnish
the Board money, but just In what
manner this will be done is now n
matter of speculation. 1t is limited
that the Board will ask for short
loan."

Wellington referred to a secret under

demanded proof that such an under

in the circumstances il was difficult to
present tangible proof, but he believed
the proof could be found in the secret

government no such understanding
could exist. and as the secretary of

Wellington was very radical in MS
anti-British views. The American peo-

sympathy with the Beers who were
struggling for liberty against untold

claimed, ''and unless we act quickly ii
will be too late" He discussed at
length the origin of the pending war
and declared that what Great Britain
was unable otherwise to accomplish
she accomplished by misrepresenta-

for what he declared was its policy Of

them from place to place, each of
