party known as progressives at a con-
ference held in Chicago last week
went on record as supporting Senator
Robert NJ. La Toilette for the Repub-
lican presidential nomination. the
conference OF progressives laid plans
to carry their fight into the national
convention next year.
In order to make their declaration
OF principles OF the broadest possible
scope. the conference abandoned the
original plan Of specifying exact re-
forms for which the progressives
stand, and the platform as adopted
urges greater control by the people
in governmental affairs, and the
Wrestling of power from the represen-
tatives OF the special interests. The
exact measures by which the progress
sives expect TO accomplish this re-
form will be outlined later.
Endorsement Of Senator La Toilette
came as the. climax when the declara-
tion of principles was unanimously
adopted. The Wisconsin leader was
lauded as the logical candidate.
His record the platform said,

istrative ability meet the require
ments for leadership such as present
conditions demand" AS to business
conditions, the declaration of princi-
pies asserted:
The present condition of uncer-
tainty in business is intolerable and
destructive Of industrial prosperity.
1t is worse than idle to leave the
question of whether great business
enterprises are legal or not merely
to judicial determination"

Former Well KNOWN Alma College Kinder

The convention OF the State FEEDER
alton of Women's Clubs held at De-
troit last week closed last Friday.
Next years meeting will be held in
Saginaw, in response to an invitation
extended by the board of trade, the
mayor and the women's clubs of that
city.
Officers for the ensuing year were
chosen as follows:
President, Mrs. Lucy White Will
iams, Lapeer; first vice-president,
Mrs Elinor Chamberlin, Hartford; (;
second vice president, Mrs. Nina De
Long Sands, Pentwater; recording

Brooks, Saginaw; Mrs Adeline
Blakeslee, Galien, and Mrs. Myra B.
Jordan, woman's dean Of the Univer-
sity of Michigan.
1t was decided to increase the dues
from So to 81 for every club of the
federation having 100 or less mem
bers, and to $1.50 for every extra
hundred members.
A Detroit dispatch i'll speaking OF
the convention said: "One of the
principal addresses of the closing day
was given by Miss Clara Wood Min
gins, the we'll known educator who
installed the kindergarten system in
Detroit.
81 sometimes wonder she said,
"if the great public school system of
this country which we boast so much
about is not productive of more evil
than good. Certainly | do not be-
lieve we are better than we are; on
the contrary, our sense of moral OBJ
legation and duty is diminishing, and
we are in sore need of studying the
Ten Commandments anew.
"You must begin with the child
very early TO teach him moral res
possibility. You tell him to set up
false gods, and what is the worship
of money and social position, pleas
ure and of himself, but false gods
which make him forget every duty
and obligation? Somehow, some
where, you've got to make good and
no one can do it for you, and the
child must work out his own saliva
ton through suffering, not through
being pampered and coddled and car
ried through life by parents who
think that their money and position
are going 10 save him every obliga-
ton, every pang.
"No wonder that girls today are
rude and selfish and vain, no wonder
that they think high-heeled shoes and
skirts too tight 10 sit in, are a neces-
sary part Of thir happiness, when they
look at the older generation for mod
els. No wonder that flippant gossip
ruins the peace of innocent people
when the child is not taught that
what somebody else did or said is
none of his business, when he is never
told that holding his tongue is a part
Of manhood and womanhood.
1--WE have mistaken silly sentiment
ality for sentiment, and tenderness
for softness. We have made too
great difference in sex, and we hem
the girl about with restric tons that
fret and hamper her, and give too
little consideration to the protection
of the boy. who is just as impressions
able as the girl"

Recently there have been six new
houses erected, also a new store, bak-
cry and restaurant.
The amusements of the town folks
are well looked after in the form of a
merry go round, two theaters and pic
ture shows, also a skating rink The
population has at least doubled in the
last year.
The electric power plant is doubling
it's capacity and there are from eight
to ten automobiles in town.
There is no question about the per-
manency of all improvements on ac-
count of the value and established life
of the mines, so many of which are
now on a permanent dividend paying
basis. Probably more attention is be-
ing paid to that district than any other
in Arizona at the present time. The
old properties are being Systematically
developed and worked and new prop
critics are being opened up, and there is
no evidence lacking of a very bright
future for all the surrounding country.

noon before the state convention of the

Tveitmoe said the strike would be
precipitated by a demand on the part
Of the carpenters union for an advance
of so cents a day in wages.
TveitmOe explained that the carpen-
tiers of California had not been dis
owned by the council, as has been done
in the east That the action was taken
in accord with a ruling of the building
trades department of the American
Federation of Labor at the st Louis
convention and applied 10 steam filters
as well. But in California, said Tveit-
moe. the carpenters and steam filters
have committed no offense against the
union rules and their franchises have
not been revoked.
