But it is only the lull before on e
of the worst political hurricanes
that Has ever swept over the la nd.
The president--elect went in on an
irresistible progressive wave that
would have swept meaner men into

to keep pace with the tremendous

PALAvER OF A PROGRESSIVE

The progressive has d favorlte
dressing for his thanksgiving turkey
The conservative patriot prepares II
with the chestnuts Of prosperity anu
oysters in the old orthodox fashion.
He stuffs the bird so plum full OF
sweet and juicy things that by no
possibility could it ever get on it's
feet again. It is the very sym Dol OF
fatted faIIaclous pros perity. You
feel thankful and full by just look
100 at it. But this does not APP
zeal to the man on the move. He
uets his wife to leave u few feathers
! on the wing to suggest, at least.
that the turkey might still progress
little. He insists upon a. dress
ing of mushrooms. Now there is
method in this culinary madness.
Thanksgiving for the p oppressive
does not spell upon bountiful crops
and patriotic platitudes which dwell
upon ancient history. His salivary
glands are stimulated by the deli
cate flavor of mushroom growths.
He does not discount the ancient
oyster which suggests delightful
stagnatinn and the raisins and
chestnuts that are so filing. Blu
for him the mushrooms make the
dressing work of art as vel as
science. His whole being sresponds
to that..which is unsubstantial that
which has not yet struck permanent
roots in the lettering soil. There
fore on Thanksgiving day he does
not consider merely the substan tial
achievements of the nation in the
way of panama canals but he re-
ioices over the tentative programs
aud visionary schemes that are ridi-
culed and scorned because they
have found no lodging place and
taken root. His eye is upon the
tenderest shoots, the very seeds
blown about in the air, that will
bear fruitin new day. These very
organisms that are growing in Ethe
night CT ssobscurity have something
of the stars about them, delicate,
intellectual but reassuring. They
add zest and a flavor to more sub
stantial dishes that only progress
sive can appreciate.

1t was a mistake to call the New
party the Progressives. There Is
nothing distintive about lit; all of
us are in some degree progress
sive and insist upon that just as We
insist upon being considered both
democratic and republican in our
sentiments. The word did become
associated more particularly with o
group of up-to-date legislators but
even they had no exclusive right to
it. It would have characterized the
new party far better to have called
it the Nationalist or the Peoples
party. 1t is fact that the so called
progressive movement is demanding
that far greater power ard respon
sib.lity be delegated to the national
government. 1t is also true that
this movement purposes TO give
the people greater and more certain
control over the affairs OF the state.
1t is easy to understand why poll
tics used to bore the average citi-
zen dreadfully. 1t was just a game
in which they were the pawns and
over which they seemed to have no
control whatever. About all they
got out of it was few cheap cigars
and the patriotic privilege of carry
