in Denver. Colo, to attend the sessions

Mrs. Decker has for several years
been one of the most prominent club

Always interested in the furthering
of the cause of woman suffrage in her
own State, Mrs. Decker has been an
ardent worker in the cause and has
urged the adoption of 1t in other States.
She has always been ardently enth-
siastic in reform work of all kinds and
has done much in the advancement OF
reforms in laws in her own State and
city. As president of the Woman's
Club she did much toward having the
civil service system inaugurated in
many branches of the city government,
including the police department.
No arrangements have as yet been
made for the funeral, but the body viii

CALL FOR NEW PARTY is OUT.

OAEI fOn NEW FAN 1slS OO u
NEW YORK, N. Y, July THE
formal call for the convention of the
third party, to be known as the Pro-
gressive Republican Party, has been is
sued by Senator Dixon, who managed
Theodore Roosevelt's campaign for the
Nomination on the regular Republican
ticket. The call was sent out tonight,
and Mr.. Dixon declares that forty
States have already signified their in
tention of having delegates at the con-
ventfon of the new party, which will
meet in Chicago on August 5.
The call reads ito all sympathizers
in the national progressive movement"
and asks support from all classes of
citizens.
According to a statement made last
night by Senator Dixon. the Territories,
the Philippines, Hawaii, Alaska and
Porto Rico will not be represented in
the progressive convention. The rep
resentation will be cut down to half
that of previous conventions.
The chief work of the delegates win
be the framing of platform, said Mr.
Roosevelt's manager. This will take
up most of the time and may, he adj
mitted, cause more or less trouble in
the new party ranks.
Mr.. Roosevelt will insist upon such
planks as the recall of judicial deci-
sfons. or even, the recall of judges,
should his own ideas be turned down
by the delegates; the direct election OF
Senators, the short ballot, direct pri-
maries, and governmental sanction for
trade combinations that are not in
| furious to the public welfare, and the
Initiative and referendum.

All bordered with flowers in June,

And meadow-larks tune!

With kindly, God save, you, as

But here l am weary, so weary,
The citys smoke spreads like a

The skies are SO gray and SO dreary,
