THE PROGRESSIVE DEMAND
Mr.. Roosevelt Does Not Seem to
Realize What the New Spirit Of
the Country Is.

Ihe fact, surprising as It may seem,
Is that Mr.. Roosevelt does not realize
the depth and the strength of the
public sentiment which he himself has
helped so much to arouse. His homi-
lies have been potent factor in fix
Ing the attention OF the people upon
the political, economic and social
abuses which prevail in the country.
While he was president. he under
stood the people pretty well, but
when he was in Africa, he got out of
touch with them. Since his return
he has not fully caught the new spirit
OF the country. He has no idea Of
the extent of the progressive move
ment. He does not realize that the
light now in progress is fight to the
death.
Tories and progressives look very
much alike to him. Thus he prom
ises to help Senator Lodge In Massa-
chusetts and Senator Beveridge in In.
diana. He asks for support OF tory
congressman In South Dakota, and he
says good word for Miles Poindexter
in the state of Washington. He labors
under the delusion that the crucial
contest which is now being waged
within the ranks Of the Republican
party can be settled on the basis Of
compromise. Any man who knows
the situation understands that this is
impossible. The Republican party
must be wholly redeemed or It will
be wholly destroyed. There is no
room In the party for many Of the
men with whom Mr.. Roosevelt is
willing to work or for some of the
men whom he has commended to the
support of the people.
In Its leadership the progressive
movement demands grim. unyielding
determination and constructive abil.
ity of high order. Colonel Roose-
velt does not possess these qualities.
He talks fiercely and he acts tamely.
His Inconsistencies and his willing.
ness to accept compromise rather
than defeat make him an unsuitable
leader The people themselves are
wiser and firmer than he. The pro.
gressive movement is their movement
and they will not brook compromise.
They are going to fight 1t out to the
end. AS leaders they require men
who are strong enough, courageous
enough and persevering enough to di-
rect a war rather than men who are
content to appear on the skirmish
line now and then and to spend the
rest of their time in preaching
against the enemy or in singing songs
across the elines.-Milwaukee Journal.

Between our Office boy and the sue

long course of studying that has to be
done besides what he has learned In
the office. The time has long since

he will have to be able to superintend
the construction of the buildings for
which he has drawn the plans, and
this includes a general knowledge Of
all that the contractor does. Also. he
must have studied contracts and the

conformed to.
These subjects seem a somewhat
forbidding array. particularly when II
is added that the architect has to
know the strength and adaptability OF
every timber or stone or piece of steel
or iron used; but all this is no more
than thousands of successful men
have already learned, and no more
than your boy can pick up during the

and has unremitting application. Let

ter appreciation of the food value of
nuts for the average family, and sec
ondly their use by the vegetarians as
substitute for meat and other fatty
foods. Nuts, as a rule. contain little
water. much fat, are rich in protein,
and have been regarded as more or
less indigestible. The indigestibility
in nuts is said to be largely due to in

that they are often eaten when not

American Nuts in Demand

In earlier days wherever nuts were
found growing in the United States
they were to be had for the gather
ing. and were of no commercial iu,-
portance. Foreign grown nuts were
expensive luxuries. Now our princi-
pal nuts are staple market commodi-
ties and bring good prices. Foreign
nuts are being grown in quantities
here, reducing the price of imported
nuts. There is constantly increasing

was made in the shipbuilding line SO
far as Belfast was concerned. In
that year Messrs. Thomas Barnes &
Co., in addition to starting the Belfast
iron works, erected small slip on
the now famous Queens Island, which
has long since lost its insular posi-

which was given it after the late
Queen Victoria's visit in 1S49, previous
