have little attraction, no matter how
vociferously recommended as cure-alls

ply and demand, along with labor or

legislation as may properly be en-

The higher cost Of living as |
have said before, is wor divide. The
aim of the Republican party Is to
see that American workers are eA-
abled to meet the cost OF living by
keeping employed at good wages. 1t
{ is a simple purpose, and as direct and
practical as it is simple, and does
not need volume of rhetoric to eX-

necessaries Of life are concerned, is
not so high here as in Europe tie

than double to six and seven times
the wages paid in Europe, and is IN

ber of the Democratic party, refused
to be carried away in the current idle
reasons for the high cost of living,
lie attributes it chiefly to the in
creased annual product of gold to
$500 900, 900 from about one-fourth that
amount twenty years ago and he eX-
poets that as long as the present out
put of gold continues, with no change
in the weight of gold coins, prices Will
have a tendency to mount higher.
Obviously, the Democratic party and
Governor Wilson, with such conditions
facing us, could not select worse
time for proposing to the American
worker-as in effect they do propose,
by urging a reduction OF the tarli1-
to consent to lower wages, with a
view to more, open competition with
labor abroad Wages must be kept
up, and the way to keep them up Is
to keep the tariff protective, and not
for revenue only"

What Col. Roosevelt Said to
His Milwaukee Audience.
no CONCERN FOR HIS OWN LIFE
In the Greatest Campaign Speech on
Record, with Bullet in His Body
He Answered Forever the Argu.
ment That the Progressive Party
ls a One-Man Movement.

The speech that Col. Roosevelt de.
livered at Milwaukee with bullet in
his body was the most dramatic cam
paign utterance on record.
Just before he rose to speak Henry
+. Cochems, head of the Progressive
Party's Speakers Bureau and Mil.
waukee man, came forward and said:
IN presenting Col. Roosevelt to you.
good citizens, good fathers and good
civilians, you should know that tho
Colonel comes to you in the spirit OF
a good soldier.
LAS we were leaving the hotel a
few moments ago dastardly hand
raised revolver and fired a shot at
him, and the Colonel speaks as a sol
dier with bullet in his breast; where.
we don't know"
shudder ran through the audience,
accompanied by cries of "Oh, Oh"
from the women present, who made up
half of the audience.
Col. Roosevelt stepped forward and
was greeted with cheer that shook
the building. He had the old grin on
his face, and it was hard for the audi
ence to credit the statement that he
stood there like soldier with the
lead of an enemy in his body.
That there was no question Of this
was shown by little incident. When
the Colonel started to read his notes
he took his spectacle case from the
vest pocket, and turning to those just
about him, exhibited it, indicating
where the bullet Of the assassin had
nicked it. This brought another SYM
pathetic cheer, to which Mr.. Roosevelt
responded with one OF his smiles and
began his talk.
Friends, shall ask YOU to be as
quiet as possible" he said. az don't
know whether you fully understand
that have just been shot, but it takes
more than that to kill Bull Moose.

manuscript, SO you see l was going to

q bullet-there is where the bullet
went through and it probably saved
me from it going into my heart. The
bullet Is in me now, so that | cannot
make a very long speech, but | will
try my best. (Cheers)
And now, friends, | want to take
advantage of this incident and say
word of solemn warning as | know
how to my fellow countrymen. First
of all l want to say this about my.
self: l have altogether too important
things to think of to feel any concern
over my own death, ana now | cannot
speak to you insincerely within five
minutes of being shot.

Prosperity in the Nation.

"The same news comes from all di-
rections. A Baltimore trade paper,
which has been gathering the views
of manufacturers N all parts of the
United States, thus sums up the sftu-
atom "A rapid expansion in business
interests, increasing activity every
where, factories overtaXed with Or
ders beyond their capacity to fill, a
growing scarcity of labor, especially
of skilled mechanics; a car shortage
which, in many cases, is greatly re-
tarding shipments-such is the condi-
ton of business throughout the coun-
try as voiced by leading manufac-
turers of every section.
1.-The principal reason for the x'st-
ing prosperity is the assurance that,
under the Republican policy of home
protection and trade expansion, Amer
lean industry while reaching for the
foreign market, is not in danger of
losing the home market. While our
foreign trade is growing more rapidly
than at any time in our history, do
nestle commerce is making advances
fully as remarkable. Our population
is increasing the demand for the
portionately, and, thanks to active
business and good wages, the people
are able to pay for what they want
and to keep our industries busy sup
plying their wants. Hence general
and growing prosperity, with a cer-
tainty of still better times, provided

ities is not disarranged and brought

the tariff or anarchstic assaults upon
our institutions, and upon the har-
moniOus relations now existing, as a
rule, between employer and employed.
There is no serious danger be-
lieve, to our institutions from indus
trial agitations. SO long as such agi-
tation keeps within legal bounds it
Is not without wholesome Significance,
and may teEd to improve conditions.
When it passes beyond the legal limit,

nected with capital or with labor, it

A PROOF OF CONSIDERATION
Roosevelt Has Made Proeresslves, but
He Did Not Make Progressivlsm-
He CrystalIzed the Longings Of
Men But the Party Principles Were
Born Long Ago In the Hearts of
the Nation.

Roosevelt the ambitious egotst, the
would-be Caesar-that monstrous fig
ure of caricature drawn by enmity
and malice has been destroyed, never
to reappear. But We fancy the other
thought-that this is a 'one-man
movement persists, and it is
upon this point that we purpose to
speak with somewhat personal en-
phasis.
With the narrow escape from the
tragedy fresh in mind, we say that
Colonel Roosevelt was not the creator
of the Progressive movement, that he
is not the guarantor of its permanency
nor his life necessary to it's ultimate
success.
The Progressive cause and the Pro.
gressiN e party are at this time mil.

spending to the call of duty, he sacri

ton to become their leader. The es-
tablishment of social and industrial
justice in this country is, we believe,
pearer by quarter OF century be-
cause of the work unselfishly done by
his great man.
But he did not create the cause. He
has made Progressives, but he did
not make Frogressivsm. He is, It,
nas been said, the political parent"
of Folk and Hadley and Johnson and
Wilson and others who have won
prominence in the faith. But he did
aot implant in the breasts of men the
aspirations for freedom and justice
which the cause embodies.
The principles which now are set
forth for the first time by a great
political party as contract with ths
people" have long been the growing
beliefs of millions Of citizens. Roose-
welt during his Presidency began to
interpret them and to put into con-
crete form and phrase these aspira,
tions and convictions.
Like all effective leaders of historic
movements, he crystallized and gave
visible substance to the deep-rooted
longings Of men. He voiced what mil
lions felt. But the cause was born In
the heart of this nation, and there lies
It's strength. Even though that bullet
had not been providentially detected
that marvellous fraction Of an inch and
he had fallen a martyr, the cause
would still have gone on, because 1t
is in harmony with the irresistible
forces OF human growth and evolution.
Had Grant died in the field, would
that have meant the permanent dis
ruption of the Union? His loss would
have cost battles, but it could not have
prevented the ultimate triumph of his
cause. So if the Progressive leader
had fallen, there would have been pro-
found sorrow for the passing OF .
loyal friend and leader, but no feeling
Of hopeessness.
If this seems a cold and calculating
view let us say that we believe 1t Is
the view Theodore Roosevelt would
have his followers take. We believe
that had he lost his life the epitaph he
would wish to be written of him would
be that he had served well, but that,
as he himself said in the face Of death,
the cause would go on without him.
This was what moved him to that
supreme proof of devotion last Mon
day night. This has been his spirit
since the beginning. He showed 1t
when, confronting the formidable NOM
ination of Governor Wilson, he decid-
ed to make the fight. He said he felt
like a soldier under orders: if he was
summoned even to lead forlorn hope,
he must obey.
And this, we believe, is the view OF
the great body of Progressives. They
look upon Roosevelt as an unequaled
figure of brave and sagacious leader
ship; they are profoundly grateful
for the strength that he gives to the
movement, and they rejoice that he 10
spared to head the march to victory.
But they know the cause would not
have died with hin, because 1t Is
founded on the eternal principles of
Justice, because it is the cause OF
humanity. i

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the sub
ject. made the astonishing statement
that the reason why so many appll-
cants for insurance are rejected is be-
cause kidney trouble is so common to
the American people, and the, large
majority OF applicants do not even
suspect they have the disease.
He states that judging from his
own experience and reports from
druggists who are constantly in d.

one preparation that has probably
been more successful in relieving and
curing these diseases than any rem
