PROGRESSIVES AND PRIMARIES.

Leaders Of the Progressive party
are impressing very forcibly upon
the people the fact that 1t Is al en-
tirely new and separate organization
that they are backing, and not a
mere split from the Republican
ranks for the present election only.
We are assured that the Progressive
party has come to stay. This fact
cannot be brought out too plainly.
The appeal for men to join its ranks
is made to the Democrats and the
Republicans. This fact, also, should
be prominent in all progressive
campaign arguments, as the follow
ers of Roosevelt realize that in order
to win they must secure Democratic
voters as we'll as Republicans.
The fact that the Progressive
party is an entirely new party and
separate and distinct from the two
old parties puts the members of the
Progressive party in a peculiar posi-
ton for the coming primary. The
primary law provides that only Re-
publicans can vote in the Republi-
can box and only Democrats can vote
in the Democratic ballot box on
primary day. AS the Progressive is
something entirely new 1t has no le-
gal standing as a political party, and,
therefore, will not take part in the
primary election this year.
While 1t is possible that a man
who has been voting either the Re-
publican or Democratic ticket may
20 to the primary this year and cast
his ballot, yet If his vote should be
challenged he must be prepared to
swear that he not only voted for a
majority of the candidates on the
Republican or Democratic ticket,
whichever he may have sided with
at the last election, but he must also
swear that he intends to support the
nominees of the party In whose
primary he desires to vote at the
coming election. But if men who
have got away from either of the
old parties and declare themselves
Progressives do not intend to sup
port either of the old parties at this

STOKES AND THE GUARDIANS.


The election of former Governor
Edward G. Stokes to the position Of
vice chairman of the Republican
State Committee Is significant.
There was a time when Mr.. Stokes
was considered out of the Republi-
can fold. The members of the
Board of Guardians, such as Baird,
Murphy, Voorhees, and others, did
not consider that the former COVER
nor was true to his party and they
had practically read him out Of the
ranks.
These Republican bosses were
very "cockey" about that time.
They seemed to think that they had
everything their own way and those
who did not agree with them were
summarily cast aside as politically
dead. 1t was announced by these
so-called leaders that the party was
a good bit better OFF without the
men who refused to agree with the
machine in everything that was
done. p,., 3,
But things are somewhat different
now. The bosses are not SO particu-
lar about whom they associate with
and are not SO free In reading men
out Of the party as they used to be.
So many thousands of voters have
left the party of their own free will,
glad of the opportunity to Join the
ranks of an organization that stands
for something that the people want,
that this old Board of Guardians of
the Republican party is in a panic.
Stokes, who has been more or less
in opposition to this crowd and who
has shown some independence in
his actions is not at all popular with
these men, but the time has come
when they cannot be so particular
as to whom they choose in filing
the party positions. For this rea-
son they take great pains to show
a friendly spirit toward Mr.. Stokes
and welcome him in an effort to hold
what followers the former governor
still has.
If these bosses dared they would
| only be too glad to push Mr.. Stokes
into political oblivion. But with
their party ranks practically wiped
out Of existence they are forced to
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-09-19

coming election, they cannot take
the last oath here mentioned and,
therefore, can be barred from voting
at the primary.
The New York Evening Mail and
New York Press, both of which are
supporting the Progressive party,
published warnings to the Progress
ives in large type, prior to the prim-
airy election held in New York Tues
day. The Mail said:
do not take part in the primar-
les tomorrow.
do not forget that you are now
a Progressive, and no longer a Re
publican or a Democrat, or an indie
pendence Lacquer, or a Socialist.
do remember that If you take
part in tomorrow's primary you will
invalidate your signature on the
nominating petitions of the Pro-
gressive party"
Tuesday mornings New York
Press, which, by the way, has just
been bought by Frank A. Munsey,
one of the strongest supporters of
Theodore Roosevelt, and who now
controls a chain Of newspapers in all
the leading cities from Boston to
Washington, said:
"Progressives are warned not to
take part in the primaries of any
political party today, If they do so
they will forfeit their rights under
the boss-made Levy elections law to
sign petitions for Independent nom
nations. If you are q Progressive
stay away from the primaries and
urge all other Progressives to pre-
serve their rights by avoiding en-
rollment."
While the primary law in New
Jersey is different from the one in
New York it does insist upon party
distinction. 1t means that every
man who votes at the primary to be
held next Tuesday, classes himself
as either a Democrat or a Republi-
can, according to the ballot box in
which he casts his vote. The real,
genuine Progressive, therefore, will
ignore the primaries entirely this
year and allow the old parties to
name whatever candidate they de-
sire. The Progressives will do their
nominating by petition this year
with the firm belief that they will
poll such a large vote at the election
in November that they will come
within the legal limit and will,
therefore, have q primary box of
their own in 1918.
Judging from the large number of
men who are outwardly affiliated
with the Progressive party in this
section at the present time there
ought to be a great falling off in the
primary vote this year just as there
was a very light vote In New York
last Tuesday. The ~Progressives SIM
ply stayed away because there was
no place for them to vote.

mountain looming up blue in the frosty
atmosphere, brought them to the big
gest and most palatial of barns and
the finest of horses. Whether Shet-
land pony, or Kentucky or trotting
bred, each horse is perfection of his
kind. But the most striking of all is
great black Percheron, big as an
elephant almost, and beautiful as
horse can be.
They next passed through fastid-
iously appointed piggery and visited
the great cattle barn, where dwell in
state the wonderful Swiss Brown
prize winners for which the Speedwell
Farms are famous. The legislators
next visited the greenhouses where
was jungle of palms, orchids and
tropical fruit, to say nothing of great
vines.
After this excursion through the
wonderland of Speedwell Farms, the
lawmakers were driven to the insti-
tute building, a fine, substantial,
modernized structure, where the girls
of the surrounding country learn do
mestic science, and boys from far and
wide pursue academic courses in the
institute or profit by drill of hand
and head in the school of agriculture.
The school of agriculture and the Lyn-
don Institute are really separate
though they use the same building for
classroom work and cooperate to some
extent in courses of instruction.
After the classroom building came
the farm and farm buildings. forge
and carpenter shop, which are really
the laboratory of this remarkable in
stttution of learning. The farm con-
sists of a hundred acres of upland and
lowland, we'll equipped and excellently
stocked 1t is just the place for boys
to grapple with the same conditions
they will meet on farms of their own.
The boys not only learn how to use
farm implements and buildings, but
are instructed to make and repair
them. In the blacksmith shop at six
FORCES were six youngsters, learning
to make hooks, bolts and horsehoes, tt
weld, iron and hammer out the iron fit
tings for wagons and sleighs, anC
passing back and forth, explaining anC
demonstrating, was a trained black
smith teaching them the craft. In thu
same room was sleigh, every part O
which had been made by the boys

The Vail Farms, Lyndon Institute and
Agricultural School.

The Burlington Free Press in speak
ing of the visit of the Vermont legis-
lature to the Vail properties at Lyndon
says: At Lyndon station they were
met by vehicles ranging from automo-
biles to stages, and by John w. Tit
comb, who, besides being a most en-
thusiastic and efficient fish and game
commissioner, is the manager of Mr..
Wallis immense Vermont estate. At
Lyndon Center the guests were shown
into the commodious three story DOR
mitory and treated to just the whole
some, substantial farm dinner that the
boys of the agricultural school have
every day.
In the dormitory. as elsewhere. it is
the policy of the school to reproduce
as nearly as possible the conditions of
actual farm life that students may not
be rendered unfit for real life by an
unreal training. The only Injuries
afforded are those which every farm
may afford. Students are required to
do janitor work and to wait on table.
Practically all the food served at the
school is raised on the school farm.
The legislators were treated to pork
raised there, potatoes and tomatoes
grown there, butter from the school
creamery, pickles and celery which
originated in the farm gardens, and so
on through the whole menu
After dinner the guests enjoyed the
luxury of visit to Speedwell Farms,

the school. Overhead in a carpenter
shop the same general process was go-
ing on.
Upon entering the excellent, airy
cow barn, the visitors were surprised
to learn that the boys of the school
had built it. Here they found a herd
of cows which the boys MIXED and
tended Not far outside were a num-
Der of greenhouses, also constructed
by the boys, where they are taught
the possibilities of profit which lie in
gardens under glass. The legislators
also visited an excellent hennery and
numerous barns and other buildings.
Here the students get the same prac-
teal training they would on their
fathers farms, with the distinction
that here they are Systematically
trained in all the kinds of farm work
and made to work intelligently by
being taught the reason why.
On the farm the father often trusts
the boy with only the routine work
which any one can do. The instructors
at Lyndon said that surprising num-
Der of farm boys hal come to them
unable to plough a straight furroW and
some who were even incapable of har-
Messing a pair of horses. But al
though they train them thoroughly at
Lyndon Center, the boys do not gradu-
ate knowing too much to return to the
home farm. Of the first graduating
class every boy, whose father ran a
farm, returned to that farm to help
carry it on
The visitors saw practical school,
! designed to aid without spelling, cal
culated to fit the needs of the average
boy who never goes through a high
school, to keep him self-respecting and
make him lead a clean, joyful, pro-
ductive life. They saw an institution
which will not only benefit the 81 boys
at present either working their way
through the school under the provision
which affords any boy work and gives
him pay for his time, or paying the
tuition of $200,-but will produce citi-
zens to stay in Vermont and build her
up.
The sentiment most generally ex-
pressed was not wonder that Mr.. Vail
had spent so much money, but aston
ishment that man of so many and
great responsibilities had found time
to work out so perfect and practical
and effective scheme for the benefit
: of his state and the improvement of his
fellow-men.

Parker House Head BOOkkeeper
COnfesSes to PecuIatiOns
He MISAPPROPR|ATES $4,000
Bank Becomes Suspicious When Poor
Job Is Done In Raising SIS Check to
$5OOO-Passion For Rare Books and
Playing Stock Market to Replace
Stolen Money Leads to Downfall

Boston, Dec. George H.
Rounds, for more than five years the
trusted head bookkeeper at the Parker
house, was arrested at the hotel for
the larceny of $31 200 obtained by
Juggling the accounts. At police
headquarters he broke down and con-
fessed. He Immediately turned over
to the j. R. Whipple company stocks
worth approximately SIS, 900 by way
OF restitution, and his belongings at
10 Chenille avenue, Allston, were at
tached.
A passion for rare books and an in
satiable desire to increase his already
valuable library of unusual volumes
are the motives he gives for the pecu-
latiOns that have extended over four
years. He emphatically denies, how
ever, having been a victim of the ''de
| luxe swindlers. Latterly, he says,
his stealings were committed in order
to speculate and, by winning, to re-
| place the borrowed" money.
| His defalcations might have still
been undiscovered, so implicitly was
Rounds trusted by the Parker House
officials, had it not been for the sus-
| picions of the officers Of the Fourth
| Atlantic National bank over a check
| for $4,000 which he had raised from
| IS and cashed a week ago.
| The check had originally been made
payable to G. H. Casey, and had been
unsuspectingly signed by Charles |.
Lindsey, one of the managers of the
hotel. The &c. H. Casey" he then
changed to Currency" and raised the
amount 1000 fold
The alteration was so crude, the
bank officials declared, that they
called the attention of the hotel man
ayers to the check, and brought
about the examination of Rounds
books, which resulted in his arrest
and confession.
Rounds arrest and confession came
as a complete surprise and shock to
the limited number of friends he has
made in Boston since coming to this
city from his home in a northern New
York town. He has always led Sc
Guided life, had few friends and less
callers at his three places of abode,
and apparently had no interests out
side his books.
The little two room apartment, the
contents of which were attached al
most Immediately after his arrest by
deputy sheriffs for Suffolk county on
behalf of the J. r. Whipple COM
pany, were essentially masculine in
appearance, lacking the feminine
photographs and other indications OF
. the man who goes much in society
With the rows of books they made an
| ideal den"
To the absolute confidence that was
repOsed in Rounds was due the ease
with which he got away with the large
sum he is charged with stealing. His
methods was the old one, that Of
) holding back deposits supposed to be
made on the first of the month, fol-
two or three weeks, specializing with
part of the money and then, after
some book purchases, whether he Wor
or lost, depositing the balance ano
classifying his books.
