I. R. DECLARES
FOR PROGRESS
tBy United Press Leased wire.)

Dy United Press Leased Wire.)
JERSEY CITY, N. J., Jan. 3 -
I'm a progressive. l couldn't be
anything else, for a progressive is
one who really believes in the
people," is the message which
Theodore Roosevelt sent to the
New Idea republicans at Jersey
City last night. Today the lead
ers are discussing the letter the
colonel sent in answer to an invi-
tation to speak.
The letter was read by George
Record before the progressive
gathering.
Il am sorry 1 cannot accept an
invitation to speak before the Pro-
gress,ve Republican League of
Hudson county," Roosevelt wrote.
I'VE must work and fight for the
restoration of popular rule through
the direct primary, a corrupt prac-
tiees act, popular election of SEN
ators, direct nomination of nation
al convention delegates and the
initiative and referendum where
they are needed. These are good
only If, when adopted, they are
used to secure the welfare of the

gressive measures. Some excellent
mn, sincere progressivcs, are
strongly opposed, for example, to
including the judiciary ia the re-

THAT judges, regardless of per-

no choice but to render decisions
within the certain defined limits
of the law as 1t exists.
Second, that these limits, so
clear to minds trained in the laws,
are frequently not observable to
the person not so trained; that,

Efficient Tuners and
Regulators

We have a corps of thoroughly efficient tun-
ers and action regulators, every one of whom has
had experience in Eastern piano factories and
who understands the making of piano in every
detail.
Every piano shipped from our stores is first
thoroughly tested by these experienced men in
our shops. The action is adjusted with the
greatest care so as to meet the varying climatic
conditions in which it is to be used and it is so
regulated as to insure rich, round, full tone.
Many good piano is unsatisfactory because of
poor regulation.

Factory Inspection

There is often a big difference in pianos of the
same make and style. They may not vary in
the quality of material used, but in the general
workmanship and the homeopathy of the piano.
We have an experienced piano man, who under
stands piano construction, constantly in the
Eastern factories, to select the very choicest in
struments. He chooses from thousands of in
struments, the pianos Of the best construction;
those most beautifully finished and those having
the most rich, resonant tone. Other dealers must
be content to accept from the factory pianos
shipped them-we get our choice Of the choicest.

LITTLE LONE SIMPLIFY
 SHOT BY PLAYMATE
Bullet Entered Child's Mouth and
 Was Swallowed.

About 4:3O Tuesday evening a shot was heard by the neighbors living near the residence of pr. Tom Young, on East Second avenue. The report was followed by Mrs. Young rushing out of the house with little four-year-
 old lone Stapley in her arms. the blood gushing from the child's mouth. The frightened women sent for Mrs. Stapley and telephoned to the father
 and to Dr. Palmer. The latter ar rived in a few moments and exam ined the injured child, giving its in
 juries a nasty temporary dressing. He
 found that the child had been shot in
 the mouth, the bullet removing nine
 teeth The broken teeth were picked
 up from the lawn, and a Cureful search was made for the bullet but it could not be found. Fearing that the ball had lodged in some part of the child's head, pr. Palmer took her to his office where n careful exam ination was made and the wounds properly dressed. The ball had en- tered by way of the upper lip, which was badly torn, cut off a part of one side of the tongue and took out a number of teeth in the lower jaw, then ranged upward. removing more teeth and was checked at the jaw bone. Where the bullet then went is somewhat of mystery. as the doctor could find no opening either where it came out or any part of the head where it could have lodged His theory is that the force of the shot was spent when it reached the jaw, dropped into the child's mouth and was swallowed by her. IL is possible that she might have spit it out on the lawn, although a careful search failed to find it. The injuries are very painful but there is probably no danger of fatal results. Being young, the wounds will probably heal in such manner as to leave no bad
