Washington. April 4--President

ference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at the morning session yester.
day, and in speech both cordial and
humorous In tone, relieved the ten
sion which has developed among the
delegates in the cnsing hours Of
meeting.
The committee which was charged
with inviting the President to the cen

Rev. w. w. Barnes. pastor OF Douglas
Church, and Rev. D. II. Martin. OF
Frostburg Md.-escorted the Chief
Executive to the platform, accomrani-
ed by Major Archibald Butt, his mil.

Bishop William r. Anderson in pre-
senting President Taft expressed the
! hope that the President would find
Congress as"docile. willing and favor.

"But it is a real pleasure to come

Arizona republican., 1911-10-29

States that is producing the present alignment in our politics. We are now divided, not so distinctly into democrats and republicans, as we are into progressives and those who resist change.
 Prosperity itself rests upon the people and the facts. A contented and hopeful people means a rich and varied economic development The people of the United States are not contented. They are just now They are suspicious of the founda- tions of their business. They are convinced that something negotiable lies at the basis of the great power which small bodies of men now eX ercise in the business world. These are the conditions not of prosperity, but of disquiet, and there is only one remedy for them-the remedy which progressives seek. They seek it, not with hostility to business, but with hostility to the present conditions possible. They are seeking the facts. They are analysing them without fear or favor and they are seeking remedies which will meet them.
 It is worth while to note that the chief representatives of the progress sive political thought of the country are the men who are hard students, who always go into debate furnished from top to toe with the facts of the case they are discussing; that their speeches are not inflamed with rhet- oric. but bristle with verifiable facts. They are seeking adjustment, accom- modations of interest. They make startling statements, but tEey seldom

lie opinion.
 Because we want a just, well con- sidered, moderately executed read justment of our present economic conditions-a readjustment based upon the facts-we have become i'm patient of all sophisticatiOn about the facts; we have determined to go to the root of matters in our analysis of them and to be perfectly fearless in our discovery of them. We mean to be conservative in the remedies we apply. because we know that it is absolutely necessary to hold the deli cate fabric of business together. We know that too great speed in change would defeat our very object, which is not destruction but the purifica tion and rectification of what is wrong. Many things that look rad ical by way of remedy are no doubt conservative enough, because a state cannot be tender with things that are manifestlly wrong, unjust, intolerable to our people But the change that comes step by step, that addresses itself to the correction of one mani fest evil at a time, that bases itself upon actual facts, and not upon ex- travagant theories, that intends what is just and accomplishes it by never going too far, is not only not radical, but is profoundly and essentially con- servative. If there be diseases in our economic body, it is conservative to cure them, not to let them alone. They will work eventual destruction much more surely than any well in tentioned remedy could bring it about.
 It is the rapid formation of thought upon these matters in the United

propose startling changes in our law. They merely propose sober regulation. They are fighting not business. but monopoly; not prosperity, but the de- termination by limited bodies of men of the form which our prosperity shall take. They cannot be silenced. They cannot be shunted on one side. They are speaking the opinions and con victions of the people. once entrust- ed with authority, they will accom- plish their objects with the self-pos- session and moderation of statesmen and patriots.
 Things cannot go on as they are, and only the democratic party is ready to alter them. Its leaders come from every quarter of the country; are in touch with conditions of every kind; are keenly aware of the care full accommodations which are neces- sary if a whole nation is to be prop erly served; have the points of view of populations of many kinds, living in many circumstances. Are not these the conditions of progress and en- and achievement?

Five Rules for Women Takers.

In the WOman's Home Companion a contributor advises. women on talk. Five rules are laid down:
 l. Don't tell long stories. or even short ones, unless you have an especial gift for it.
 . Remember that talking about yourself is an indulgence. and as such. should be strictly limited.
 :. If another woman tells you of some sensation or experience of her own, don't immediately cap it with one of yours. Swapping tastes" is of the lowest order of conversation. I have been in circles where the talk con- sisted in each woman's taking her turn in telling how much she thought or felt about some commonplace subject. such as indigestibility or shellfish, or liability to colds
 f. Never lose consciousness of the of the talk your are usurp- ing, and if you are talking more than your share. be sure that the quality the quantity.

the government at Washington is not so much a constitutional danger as q practical danger. It is the danger of an artificial uniformity. of an ar bitrary unity, of a system without elasticity. of regulation without local accommodation.
 Reform began to come in our states as the people awakened to these circumstances and bestirred themselves to take control of their own affairs once more, so that we have come upon one of the most i'm portant, because one of the most diff ficult periods of our politics. We are trying nothing less than to revise our methods of political action, while we are in the midst of a great eco- homie readjustment Both our in strumentalities of action and the ob- jects we employ them to accomplish are under debate. We are discussing both what we shall do and what means and instruments we have at hand by which to do them.

 Some one has said that there is, when all is said, nothing for breakfast but breakfast bacon. There are persons who hold the opinion that when an earnest lover proposes. even stammer- ingly and awkwardly. he does all there is to do in the circumstances. There are women who regard the lover who is embarrassed and overcome by emo- tions as representing a higher type Of devotion and a higher type of manhood and as paying a higher tribute to the sex. the individual and the Institution of matrimony, than the sleek and con- posed fellow who philanders like a comic opera tenor or proposes like the Heavy man. in a romantic drama. But there are also women of another type who believe that suitOr ought to swear by you pale mOon"-after hav- ing found out how much cash the ob- ject of devotion will put up to acquire first rate mOonswearer-and it is fortunate that many of such women are well enough heeled to acquire bus bands who know how to make love in a manner that no American would re- gard as suitable off the stage for other

 It is also fortunate that there is a large supply of American women who think more of the motive than the manner of the proposal. and do not re- quire third act style of proposal from
