Origin of Black Maria.

A terror to evildoers was the real
original Black Maria, and quite as
useful In helping to keep the peace
as the Black Maria of today. Black
Maria lived in Boston and in colonial
times. She was q. gigantic negress
named Maria Lee, and she was mis-
tress of a sailors boarding house
down near the wharves.
Sailors came to her from all over
the world. They were often a wild,
rough set. but they never gave Maria
any trouble, for her huge size was
we'll balanced by her prodigious
strength. 1t is told thai h once
brought three drunken sailors at once
to the lookup when they had grown
too o~bstreperous to be kept longer in
the house.
The fame of Marla's strength grew
SO that she became of great assist
ance to the authorities, for when men
got to he violent or quarrelsome
Black Maria was sem for and Don
reduced the unruly to obedience. In
time her reputation spread all over
Boston, and the lawless element grew
so afraid of her that often the threat
of sending for Black Maria was
enough to quell the worst cases of in
subordination.
Few people know of Black Maria
Lee as the boarding house keeper OF
colonial days. but she handed her
name down as a to the VIC
ious of future generations in the mod
ern Jail wagon. To send for the
Black Maria is as much of a threat
now as it was in Maria Lees times.

Democracy and. social and industrial
justice are unattainable unless this
power of the few be curbed and our
democracy becomes industrial as well
as political.
He can meet the demands properly
made upon a present-day executive,
to lead in constructive craftsmanship,
as well as to administer efficiently.
And his character, intellectual power
and previous training fit him pecu-
liarly to take an important part In
progressive legislation.
In the progressive movement there
are three necessary periods. The first
is investigation; the second, agita-
ton; the third, legislation. They are.
in the main, successive periods, but
each overlaps the other to a certain
extent. The work of investigation and
of agitation has been largely per-
formed. Men of insight have DIS
cerned and disclosed the evils exist
ing in our industrial, social AND po-
ntical institutions and the danger to
the common veal. Men of courage
and of emotion. endowed with the
dramatic qualities of the great
preacher, have pierced even that
armor of smug complacency with

Yale Proud of Paper.

OF the many undergraduate organ
izations of which Yale is justly proud
there is none which has more claim
to perfection in it's line than the Yale
Daily News. The News is advertised
as being the oldest college daily"
Started in the latter seventies more
in the shape of a handful than a
newspaper it has now developed into
a six-page daily, with a circulation
of 1000 copies.
The editorial staff of the News is
one of the two or three groups of un-
dergraduates who receive financial
compensation for their labors.
Arson Phelps Stokes, now secretary
of the university, was n of the
cleverest chairmen of the News in the
nineties. OF late years Thomas Day

calm elaboration, he rose superior
to the bosses, local and national.
There is nothing in his present aff1li-
ations or his past relations which
requires explanation or extenuation.
He would not resort to unworthy
means even to advance more worthy
ends. He was nominated by the
people in spite of every effort of the
vested interests to prevent his se-
lection. His campaign is being con-
Quoted so as to avert the possibility
of entangling alliances. He stands
now, and would stand as President,
pledged only to the American peo-
pie.
The progressive movement requires,
however, for success not only a lead
er, but followers: and not only fol-
lowers at the polls, but cooperation
in Congress. Progressive measures
cannot be enacted unless a majority
of the House and the Senate are in
accord with the President. As Cow
ernor Wilson truly said:
Politics now, at last, is intensely
practical and real. We cannot afford
to wait another four years. The
processes Of reform in this country
must take place within the next four
years. If the leader of the third
party is made President what will be
his situation? Doe anybody suppose
he will have a third party Congress
behind him? Is it not inevitable that
In such an event there will be in
Congress such a mixture of elements
and groups and coteries that the
President cannot possibly get any
program whatever put through"
Whatever may be the need of a
new party in particular States, the
cause of progress nationally and the
whole progressive movement will be
most advanced in the election of Gov
ernor Wilson as President.

Perkins has written a letter to Will

Democratic National Committee, re-
garding the t~elegraphed orders of the
Presidential candidate to schedule no
more speaking dates for him. Per-
kins said that the Democratic party
had not begun to meet the questions
of the campaign and that the argu-
ments advanced thus far by Wilson
were not lucid. The letter follows:

THE PANAMA CANAL WILL KEEP.

OOHV NDER consideration is the status of the Panama
u canal question in the British cabinet, according to
Sir Edward Grey. This is the stereotyped answer to
ineonyenient questions in the House of Commons when the for.
eicn Office is not ready to show its hand. "Should there even
tually be a difference between the two countries in regard to
the HayPauncefote treaty which could not be settled by other
means Great Britain would ask that it be referred to Sarbitra-
ton "a wise diplomatic remark which includes two "ifs" and
may mean much or nothing. 1t means nothing to the United
States, for we have nothing to arbitrate. The matter of the
canal tolls is settled for good.

CHILDHOOD IN AMERICAN POLITICS.

nome appeal in the Progressive propaganda that cannot fail
~ to reach the conscience of the American voter is that
which is made for the children, and its eloquence is in its
genuineness. 1t has caught the heart of American womanhOod.
This nation has criminaly failed in its duty to childhood. 1t
has provided schools, the States have passed child labor laws
that are either indiferently enforced or not enforced at all, but
the providence of a great and wealthy nation has in essential
respects neglected childhood. Multitudes of children of tender
years are today in this great country denied the privileges of
childhood, know little of its joys, are put to hard tasks, with
minds and bodies stunted, and are growing up-those who sur
sve-to become ignorant, inefficient, unhealthy and undesirable
men and women. The conditions in the cotton mills of the South
are shocking; the conditions in many mills in the North call for
drastic remedies. And what shall we say of conditions in the
slums of the great cities which volunteer settlement workers are
so bravely but vainly battling with? We have a national de
partment for agriculture and for lands and forests, and for com.
merce and manufacture. We carefully conserve the crops, and
we have no national care of the millions of children, the greatest
OF a nations crops and the most surprisingly important of the
nations interests, for these children are to take our places and
are heirs to all the property interests of the nation, and are to
assume all the responsibilities which this generation will yield
up when it passes away. 1t is time to bring American childhood
into politics. IA

Roosevelt Says Democratic
Nominee Is Not Progressive.
Hits at La Toilette.

CHICAGO. oct. 12.-Arriving here
In this city shortly before noon Col
onel Roosevelt was Immediately hur-
rled away &c Grant Park, where he
delivered an address before the Ital-
ian societies taking part in the Co
lumbus Day exercises. This evening
he is scheduled for two more speeches.
the first under a huge tent on the
west side and the other at a mass
meeting in the coliseum.
In both his speeches of yesterday
at Oshkosh, Wis, and today in this
city Colonel Roosevelt fired grape
shot at Governor Wilson. He char
acterized the latter as not Il Pro-
gressive, but as "a reactionary, a
Tory" He also reproached Sena-
tor La Toilette for his opposition to
the Progressive party. He accused
him of secretly boosting the Wilson
candidacy and of being inspired by
a vengeful motive.
