CHICAGO. Aug. S.-The principal
feature of the platform adopted by
the National Progressive convention
follow:
The conscience of the people IN a
time of grave national problems mas
called into being a new party, BORN
of the nations awakened sense OF
justice.
We of the Progressive party here
dedicate ourselves to the luinliiiene
of the duty laid upon US by our
fathers to maintain that government
of the people, by the people ana 1or
the people whose foundations they
laid.
We hold with Thomas jefferson n
Lincoln that the people are
the masters of their Constitution TO
f,,lfl it's and to safeguard
II from those who, by perversion OF
rs intent. would convert 1t INTO an
instrument of injustice.
Political parties exist TO secure re-
snonsible government and to execute
the will of the people. FROM 'hese
rreat tasks both of the old partles
have turned aside. Instead OF IN
,,men to promote the general
welfare they have become the tools
Of corrupt interests which use tnem
impartially to serve their seinsh pun
poses.
Rakes Old Parties.
The deliberate betrayal of Its trust
BY the Republican party, the fatal IN
capacity of the Democratic party TO
deal with the new issues of the new
time, have compelled the people to
forge a new instrument of govern
ment through which to give fife TO
their will in laws and institutions.
Jnhampered by tradition. uncorrupt-
ed by power. undismayed by the mag
nitude of the task, the new party
offers itself as the instrument of the

Fit to BE President"
I'm Governor Johnson we have a
nan whose every word is made good
by the deeds that he has done. A
man who, as the head of a great
State, has practically applied in that
State for the benefit of the people
of. that State the principles which
we intend to apply throughout the
Union as a whole. We have nomi-
mated the only type of man who ever
ought to be nominated. For the
vice-presidency we have nominated
a man fit at the moment to be Pres
ident of the United States.
Friends, | have come here not to

that no people can justly claim to be
a true democracy which denies peo-

We pledge our party to a constitu-

We pledge our party to 81 constitu-

appointees from holding office in
State or national political organiza-

delegates in political conventions for

Courts and Judicial Methods.
The Progressive party demands
such restriction of the power of the
courts as shall leave to the people the
ultimate authority to determine fun
damental questions of social welfare
and public policy.
The Progressive party in order to
secure to the people a better admin
istration of justice and the means to
bring about a more general respect
for the law and the courts pledges
itself to work increasingly for the re-
form of legal procedure and judicial
methods.
We believe that the issuance of in
functions in cases arising out of labor
disputes should. be prohibited when
such injunctions would not apply
when no labor disputes existed.
We also believe that a person cited
for contempt in labor disputes, ex-
cept when such contempt was ON
mitted in the actual presence of the
court or SO near thereto as to in
terfere with the proper administra-
ton of justice, should have a right
to a trial by jury.
We pledge ourselves to work I'M

SOFFOCA1ED

ENDETeLIN, Jan. 16.-Rex Linde-
mann, who has been in charge of the
store his father recently purchased at
Lucca met with most Serious mis-
hap which might easily have cost him
his life. He had been sleeping in
the store and some time during the
night gas began escaping from the
large heating stove, almost overcom-
ing him. He crawled around over the
floor in dazed condition most of the
night. which probably saved his life,
as the air was better near the floor
than any where else. At some time
during the night he had in some way
broken a small hole in one of the
windows, and he was found sitting by
the hole the next morning at 9 o'clock
by a passer by and the door forced
and Rex taken out.
His father went to Lucca as soon
as he heard of it and brought tie
young man home, where he is now out
Of danger, but quite sick from taking
so much of the foul gas into his lungs.

The barrels are not beer. but -four
barrels. In early colonial times under

selection for the city seal.-New York

TRAIN ORDER WILL Be
DISPATCHED BY Phone

WlBAUX, Jan. 16.-The Northern
Pacific force Of linemen reached here
on Thursday from Glendive, to in.
stall the telephone system for dis.
patching train orders land completed
the work today, when they started
on eastward.
In a conversation with Operator
G. H. Rake today it was stated that
the Northern Pacific contemplates
installing telephones for dispatching
train orders throughout their entire
system, but that none of them will
be put in use until all Of the phones
have been installed, which in all
probability will take from four to
six weeks.
Whether or not the new system
will in any way effect the operators
remains to be seen, but it is not be-
lieved that the number of operators
be reduced for some time yet, at
least, and in all probability the same
number of employees will always be
required at the local station.

RHAME SCHOOL
HOUSE BURNS

| RHAME, Jan. 16-About six o'clock
yesterday morning, the Rhame school
: house was discovered to be on fire
The fire was first seen from the farm
of w. w. Thorne, east of town, and
George Thorne ran all the way down
town to spread the alarm. The fire
probably got its start in the primary
room, on the first floor, on the south
side of the building. or as is thought
by some. from the stove in the room
above, and had gained such Roadway
before it was discovered that there
was no possibility of saving any Of
the contents of the building.
The origin of the fire is not def
nitely known, and probably never will
be, but is supposed to have been
caused by an explosion of the stove
in the south room, where the fire was
first seen.
The school building was put up in
the summer of 1909, and cost little
| over $1,000. In addition to that, the
furniture and books in the building
cost over $1,000 bringing the total
loss for the district to more than
$1,000. On the building there was
$4,000 insurance, and $500 on the con-
tents. Beside the loss to the district,
Miss Nellie Elliott principal of the
school, had her piano in the building,
and it was burned There was no in
surance on the piano. Miss Elliott
loss on the piano, books and other
property in the school house amounts
to over $500. A subscription paper
Was passed around during the day
yesterday and $50 was subscribed by |
the people in the town to partly re-
imburse her for the loss.
A meeting of the school board was
held today to consider what to do
about school for the remainder of the
year. and after considering the matter
thoroughly, it was voted to discon-
tinue school for one month, during
which time the board will try to
arrange for temporary building in
which to hold school for the balance
of this year, either by renting some
small buildings, or by erecting tenn
porary school house.
The district will undoubtedly re-
build the school house during the COM
ing summer, and We hope to see a
good brick school house take the place
Of the one destroyed by fire. It will
cost more. but will be worth the ad-
ditional cost of the building. It is
not probable that anything definite
will be known for some time regard
ing plans for a new building but the
sentiment of the district seems to be
% have a brick school house this year.
