HARDSH|PS
WITH WIFE AND CHILDREN,
CHRISTIAN ALLIANCE MINIS
TER NEARLY PERISH IN ES-
GAPING CHINESE TORTURE.

One of the saddest stories that
have come out of far-away China
since the recent revolution was
brought by the Pacific Mailer Persia
arriving in San Francisco, Tuesday,
from the Orient. Among the passen-
gers we're E. NJ. Ekvall, a mission
airy of the Christian Alliance, his
wife, Emma, and their four little
children, who have experienced suf-
ferings that are particularly heart
rending.
In consequence of the hardships
and terrors she went through in the
past few months Mrs. Ekyall is a
nervous and physical wreck. During
the voyage home across the Pacific
the unfortunate woman, existing I'M
der the hallucination that she was
being pursued by murderous Chinese,
made frequent attempts TO end her
life, and finally had to be strapped
in her berth and kept constantly un-
der guard.
Shortly before the vessel touched
at Honolulu Mrs. Ekyall, eluding the
watch of her husband and another
missionary, tried to leap overheard.
She was weakly trying to get over
the rail when caught and returned
to safety.
The condition of the Ekvalls Is
perhaps the most pathetic of any in
yolying missionaries that have come
to light with the exception of the
case of a missionary named Beck
man, whose entir e family, save a
baby daughter, was murdered by
Chinese rioters. 1t was five months
ago that the missionaries and theii
children began the flight from theii
station at Nincheo, in the province o.
Kansuh, near the Thibetean border
an isolated part of China, inhabited
by but few white people.

family we're sick. and during thu
long trek of 1000 miles to the Yang
tse river, the only safe avenue o
flight to civilized districts, one of thu
infants died of yellow fever. Mrs
Ekvall, it is said by fellow mission
aries, had no sleep for a month
With rare fortitude and, buoyed III
by a great love for his family, Ekval
struggled onward.
The long journey overland to Han

PROGRESSIVE
REPUBLICANS
CONVENTION AT CHICAGO, A.
GUST 3 WILL CALL FOR Ma
TIoN-WIDE MOVEMENT ON
NON-SECTIONAL LINES.

A call to the people of the United
States who are in sympathy with the
National Progressive movement,
to send delegates to a national con-
vention 10 open in Chicago August 8.
was given out Monday by United
States Senator Joseph NJ. Dixon of
Montana, Theodore R~ooseyelt's
campaign manager. The call is sign
ed by members of the committee
chosen at a meeting held in Chicago
and also bore signatures of Roose-
welt followers in forty states.
The territories have no place in
a national convention and will not be
considered" declared Senator Dixon
in commenting upon the signatures.
As for the missing eight states.
the most of them probably will send
delegates although they have not
taken part in the call. Maine, for
instance. postponed any definite ac-
ton because there is now a strong
fight on in the primaries. with the
sympathy running in favor of the
progressive movement. Delaware,
North Carolina. Arkansas and Ne
vada probably will take part in the
convention. Mississippi and South
Carolina may possibly be n
represented.
The call lays down no rules as
to the methods of choosing delegates,
since each state will be expected TO
select its delegates by its w par
aphernalia. The representation will
be cut down TO just one-half of the
previous conventions. which IA
deemed advisable since this eonye
ton is to be notably a deliberatiye
body and will certainly be composed
of a class of men altogether different
from those who usually attend on
ventions.
1T is probable the convention will
adopt the name National Progressive
for the new party. but l cannot say
definitely what will be done. Thus
far no issues have been authoritative
" stated and of purse the platform
itself will have to be decided upon
by the delegates"

Text of Call.

The text of the call is:
To the people of the United States.
without regard to past differences,
who through repeated %betrayals,
realize that today the power of the
crooked political bosses and of the
privileged classes behind them is so
strong in the two old party %organiza-
tions that no help in the real inter-
ests of our country can come Out of
either.
"Who believe that the time has
come for a national progressive
movement nationwide movement
on non-sectional lines, so that the
people may be served in sincerity
and truth by an organization I'M
fettered by obligation to conflict
ing interests.
Who believe in the right and ca
pacity of the people to rule them
selves and effectively to control all
the agencies of their government,
and who hold that only through So
cial and industrial justice, thus Sc
cured, can honest property find per-
manent protection.
Who believe that government by
the few tends to become, and has in
fact become, government by the sor-
did influences that control the few.
Who believe that only through the
movement proposed can we obtain in
the nation and the several states the
legislation demanded by the modern
industrial evolution; legislation
which shall favor honest business
and yet control the great agencies
of modern business so as to insure
their being used in the interest OF
the whole people; legislation which
shall promote prosperity and at the
same time secure the better and
more equitable diffusion of prospect
ty; legislation which shall promote
the economic we'll being of the
honest farmer, wage worker, profess
sional man and business MAI alike,
but which shall at the same time
strike-in efficient fashion. and not
pretend to strike-at the roots Of
privilege in the world of industry 10
less than in the world of politics.
Who believe that only this type OF
wise industrial evolution will avert
industrial revolution.
Who believe that wholesome par
ty government IAN come only If there
is wholesome party management in
a spirit of service 10 the whole u
try. and who hold that the command
ment delivered at Sinai, Thou shall
not %steal,'' applies to politics as well
as to business.
To all In accord with these views
a call is hereby issued by the pro-
visional committee, under the reso-

LOST-A TIDAL WAVE.

What becomes of Mr. Roosevelt's
beautiful dream that there was an
Overwhelming public sentiment in
favor of lis nomination for presi-
dent?
In the Maryland primaries he
polled 29,124 votes. The total re-
publican vote in 1908 was 116, 10.
Exactly one Maryland republican in
four voted for Mr. Roosevelt at the
primaries.
In Massachusetts, he polled 1854
votes at the primaries. The total
republican vote cast in 1908 was
265,966. About one Massachusetts,
republican in three voted for Mr..
Roosevelt at the primaries.
In no state have half of the quail
flied republican voters taken the
trouble to declare their preference
for Mr.. Roosevelt at the primaries.
Even where he has won his most de-
cisive victories only a minority OF
the party has declared in his favor.
There has been no general uprls-
ing, and the nomination has become
a football of political intrigue and
Stubbses have stopped talking about
landslides and tidalwaves
When he became candidate Mr..
Roosevelt announced that he would
accept the nomination "if it is ten
dered to me-" He is more modest
than he was. Now he will accept the
nomination if he can get it.-NeW
York World.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1912-05-23
TWO L1NCOLNs OF TODAY.

Mr.. Roosevelt continues to try to
have it understood he is in a class
with Loncoln.
The months have not been many
since the colonel thus spoke of Mr..
Taft: He would be as emphatically
president of the plain people as Lin
coin himself; yet not Lincoln him
self would be freer from the least
faint of demogogy.'
The people, 'plain' and other
wise, have not noted any special
change in Mr.. Taft's character or
methods since those words were
spoken.
Accepting the Roosevelt dictum of
the days when he was boosting his
Friend Bill" for the presidency and
also his own claims of today, there
must be two modern Lincolns strug-
Cling for observation-disclosures Jour-
nal
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1912-05-23

In the republican party the i'm
mense personal popularity of Colonel
Roosevelt, built up by thirty years of
deserving and trustworthy leader
ship, has focused the progressive vote
to an extent thus far uneXampled
If, in spite of the overwhelming ev-
idence that most of the republicans
want Roosevelt, the nomination Of
Taft is bulled through, and if, on the
other hand, the democrats nominate
Underwood, Harmon, or Clark,
Roosevelt will, in our opinion, be
forced by irresistible pressure to run
on a third ticket-a nonpartisan pro-
gressive ticket. With a strong and
progressive democrat running with
