a weekly magazine, devoted to the public
interest upon lines broad enough to ap-
peal to the progressive people of the en-
of public officials and political parties on
vital questions. I shall discuss men and
measures impartially and fearlessly.
with the assistance of able writer's and
correspondents l will furnish readers a
summary of important news. a digest Of
proceedings in Congress, a report of the
progress made in the struggle for self
government in cities and states. and time
ly, we'll considered contributions and edi-
torial discussion upon economic. financial
and social questions. The paper will deal
not only with these problems. but as
widely as possible with other questions
of human interest. Mrs. La Toilette will
have a department in which education
and the home will be discussed from the
womans standpoint.
1.-The peoples cause can never be too
we'll served. The contest between special
privilege and the common good is draw
ing close and Is becoming more critical
The need of plain speech and sound meas
ures was never greater. I shall make
this paper before all other things the Wig
liant champion of true representative gov
ernment."
