THE PROGRESSIVE MOVEMENT

Some three hundred progress
sive republicans of Minnesota,
representing practically every
section of the state, banquetted
in Minneapolis last Thursday
night, listened to three hours of
fervid oratory, and adopted res
olutions pledging their support
to Robert La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin for the presidency.
The progressive republican
movement has taken tangible
form during the administration
of President Taft, and The Her
aid believes it speaks within the
bounds of truth when it says
that the executive and those
close to him are to blame for it,
if blame there be. 1t is unneceS-
sary to state details: the plain
fact remains that, justly or un-
justly, there is widespread I'M
rest among the republican mas
ses, and that unrest is the re,
suit Of the policies and methods
of the president and his advis-
Ors.
Progressive republicanism has
for it's object, not the disruption
of the party, but it's reform and
regeneration; and this was forci-
bly, put by one of the speakers
at the banquet. Those three
hundred republican voters re-
present a solemn protest against
existing conditions. They did
not endorse all the speakers
said; they were not agreed as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of putting can
didate in the field; some of them
took issue when the administra.
ton was caustically criticised
but they were unit in voicine
an indignant protest against the
domination of h e republican
party by the big interests anc
their agents.
The movement cannot be ridi
culed and cried down by assert
ing that it's leaders are no
practical policians,' that they
are visionary" is engineered
by lf-seekers and that the pros
pective offices have already beer
farmed out in advance. 1t i:
true that there was a notable
absence of the professional poll
tician from the Minneapolis ban
quet; that so-called prominent
Headers were not in evidence
that, like every reform move
| ment, progressivism is handi
capped to some extent by some
who hope to reap personal pro
| fit or preferment. 1t is also true
that the banquet was notable fol
the absence of federal office
| holders with cut and dried reso-
lutions in their pockets. 1t may
have been poor policy to endorse
La Toilette and he may be de
! feated in the race for the nomin
alton. But, unless existing con
ditions change for the better anG
| that soon, the movement is sure
! to progress, regardless of thu
individual.

Now they're saying that the
progressive republicans m Y
unite on Hughes, giving as a
reason that La Toilette will not
stand for the presidential nom

The Minnesota state fair this
wear was unfortunate 10 having
unprecedented conditions with
which to contend. Rain fe l
heavily half the time, and not
until Saturday did the sun show
it's face. This caused a great
falling off in the attendance,
enough to make the management
face large deficit. The fair this
year was the finest ever seen in
Minnesota or the West and had
weather conditions been right
would have been money maker.
The exhibit of agricultural pro-
ducts far exceeded anything be-
fore attempted. One in the
agricultural building in charge
of George WEIGH, commission of
immigration, consisted of corn
from every county of the state.
The samples were artistically
arranged and plainly labeled
and the exhibit attracted much
attention. It is to be regretted
that the management of the fair
have elected the news
paper men of the state from the
building that represented Mime
sofa at the St. Louis Exposition
and which was later dedicated
to Minnesota newspaperdom, and
housed them away in a dirty,

they feel that it needs doctor

The intolerance of the party
bosses is partly responsible for
the existence of the progressive
movement. T h professional
politician, who has entrenched
himself behind the bulwarks of
the good old republican party
almost to that party's undoing,
does not concede to others the
right to entertain political opin-
ions other than those manufac-
tured and handed out cut and
dried for them to swallow. In
tolerance caused the French re-
volution; it drove the Pilgrim
fathers to America; it impelled
our forefathers to revolt against
Great Britain. If the regulars
are wise they will heed the pro-
test; if the progressives are wise
they will do nothing hastily.
Each needs the other and the
Nation needs the united efforts
of both.

With the increased population
that Alamosa will command when
the valley is properly drained
and irrigated, numerous other
manufacturing and industrial en-
terprises are sure to make this
their home. Among which will
be canning factory for peas,
beans, cauliflower, asparagus, etc,
starch factory to use up the
understandable and surplus po-
tato crops; straw board and pa
per mills to consume our surplus
grain straw; a rolled oats fac
tory-for no where is the oat
berry larger or more perfect than
in the San Luis Valley-and the
milling industry in the manufac
ture of flour will increase many
fold.
And why will we have these in
dustries? Simply because we
will produce the raw materials
that are necessary for their oper-
alton and because we enjoy a
central location that warrants the
lection of Alamosa as the place
to establish the enterprises.
All of these things will come
and come III time to be of great
benefit to you If you will but
contribute your assistance to-
bring them about.
Put the land in shape to pro

WILL MAKE CONfjOS GREATEST COUNTY ON MAP
Everyone Should be vitality Big Drainage
Proposition which will Make Fertile Thousands
Of Idle Acres.

From The Aiamosa Courier.
Have You ever stopped to think
what the consummation OF the
improvements proposed by the AL
amosa Irrigation district means
To the town of Alamosa? What
{ really means to us to have one
hundred and twenty-eight thous-
and acres of land, that to-day
lies idle a barren waste put
iulo ii high state of cultivation,
with the hundreds of families that
this land will support coming
constantly to this city ~ trade !
Can you realize what it means
individually and to the commun-
ity generally
This Improvement will easily
make Alamosa a city of 10000
people. 1t will give us a position
In the matter Of relative import
ance which, added to our geo
graphical and railroad advant-
ages Will make our city the whole
sale as well as the distributing
point for the entire valley. 1t
will, in fact, make it the supply
point for vast territory to the
south and southwest of the valley.
Now is our opportunity. Every
BUSINESS man, every lot holder,
every owner of suburban proper
ty, has a vital interest in carry
ing through this great drainage
and irrigation proposition. 1t
means money in your pockets to
do it. Boost this work and see
it comp eted and the time is
very short until the land to the
north of us will also be similarly
reclaimed, thus converting the
entire valley into the richest
section of the state, sustaining
population of 100000 instead of
10000, as at present, with Ala
mosI, located in the center of it,
reaping her share of benefit
from every acre. Now is the
time to lend your hearty moral
support as well as your finan-
cial support.
You are most surely helping
yourselves when you help this
work along. Nothing has ever
been proposed that means so
much to the valley in general
and Alamosa in particular. With
the land around Alamosa put in
proper soil condition by drainage
and sufficient water provided to
insure an abundant irrigation
supply at all seasons, you could
not keep a sugar factory away
from Alamosa. With the valley
