BY SENATOR JOSEPH M. DIXON,
Chairman of the National Progressive
PARTY

NEW YORK, Oct 81 have just
returned from two weeks trip in the
states west of the Mississippi river, in
Guiding most of the Rocky Mountain
territory The situation there can best
be described as vel liable political
revolution. Old party affiliation and
party lines have been smashed to
smithereens. The voters everywhere
are in rebellion against the old political
order.
West of the Mississippi river there
is no stratifcation. The agitation there
during the past ten years has left a
live issues Of today.
Let it be understood once for all that
this is not a Roosevelt party; that this
present political revolution is not a re-
volt from the Republican party. 1t is
the evolution of democracy itself
West of the Mississippi river, during
two weeks journey, l saw just one
man wearing Taft badge. There is no
Taft sentiment among the people of the
West. ] find very little Wilson enthu-
siasm anywhere.
OF course, the Democratic politicians
are lined up for Wilson, but it is not an
enthusiastic following 1t is merely the
hopes of political victory and the dis
tribution of postoffices that is keeping
the local Democratic leaders in line for
Wilson.
Progressive Enthusiasm Genuine.
On the other hand, ] find genuine Iiv-
ing enthusiasm everywhere for the
Progressive propaganda In Colorado,
Utah. Idaho Montana, the Dakotas,
Minnesota, it is not a question of Of
fees, but deep seated, intense, burn
ing enthusiasm for the new party of
the common people.
In the industrial centers the senti-
ment for the Progressive movement and
for Roosevelt and Johnson is literally
overwhelming. Among these classes
there is a universal expression of opin-
ion that the Progressive movement
means the equitable settlement of the
every day problems of the people them
selves.
Among the railroad men. miners, and
| the men employed in hazardous occu-
pations generally the question of COM
pulsory insurance of the industrial
| workers, as set forth in the Progressive
platform, has appealed nightly.
These men and women have seen the
cruel injustice that follows the loss OF
life and limb by the individual worker
in society and the terrible burden that
is unloaded on the helpless survivor
and his wife and dependent children.
The declaration against child labor, the
minimum wage for women, the eight
hour day, the promise of a commission

Jenkins charged with q fierce assault last week on her fifteen year old stepsOn who exhibited in court a long gash on his forehead which he said was made by a kettle which his stepmother had launched against him. Mrs Jenkins said that her action in that case had been only reciprocatory; that the youth had first thrown the kettle at her.
 MT. Jenkins and all the rest of the family were arrayed against the de- fendant and each related a chapter of infelicity- One of the daughters eX- hibited d scar on the side of her head which she said had been made with a stick of wood in the hands of her step- mother

day he saw the most true to life pie ture of total destruction that had ever met his gaze.
 His wife had been there with a one horse buggy and had carried to the house of a neighbor a great deal of the portable property and what she had not carried away she had destroyed. Among the articles demolished was the horn of talking machine.
 But all this had nothing to do with the case of the assault with a kettle. The court could not determine who had thrown it first and he accordingly dis missed the case saying that the action had been brought in the wrong court.

NEITHER ONE

A German farmer left his horses unhitched in front of a hardware store in Gary. When he came out after an interval of an hour they were gone There had been no sound of a runaway, so the farmer surmised that they might have gone home. He phoned his wife saying:
 "Chulia. is der horses dere?'
 A negative came over the phone, for he added:
 Nor her wagon eider?"-Chicago Post.

Fire Due to Carelessness.

The greater part of the annua
fire waste in the United States
amounting to over $3.50, 100000 q
year, is due to careiessness. Much
OF this is personal, for which prop.
erty owners are directly responsible
and much is municipal, through the
liberation by the authorities of dan.
gerously infiammable construction
laxity in the enforcement of build
ing ordinances and the regulation OF
explosives and infiammables, failure
to insist upon rubbish being cleaned
up, etc. The average citizen should
have impressed upon him his person
al responsibility for his share OF the
preventable fire waste of the coun.
try, which is draining the national
wealth. Every man can at least see
that paper, old boxes and rubbish
are not allowed to accumulate in
dangerous places or out-of-the-way
corners, and can keep an eye on his
lightning and heating appliances. II
these alone are attended to proper

vented In foreign countries the
owner of property is made RESPONSE
BILE for fires originating on his prem
Uses and can be held for damages

American Independence may not yet
be ready for such degree of regu-
lation. but its necessity could be
avoided II each citizen would feel
his personal responsibility without
waiting for a law to enforce it.

Must Still Sign PAPERS.

Although relieved from active SER
vice as city clerk a week or more
ago, r. P. Shocks signature is still
necessary on all official papers of
the city. The reason for this is that
the bond for the new city clerk, w.
w. Crittenden, which arrived last
Tuesday, was not properly made out
and must be returned to the Daven-
port bonding company for correc-
ton. 1t was expected that Mr. Crit

CHAS. ALEXANDER
IS NOW IMPROVING
Has Had a Serious Time of It-Get.
ting Help From Former
t Webster City Doctor.

A letter received yesterday by F.
G. Ruegnitz from Chas. Alexander,
one of the Ruegnitz music store
statesmen, who is at present in Dem
yer taking medical treatment for
blood poisoning, states that he is
getting along nicely. Mr.. Alexan-
der's case of poisoning is one that
has baffled some of the Webster City
physicians, as we'll as others from
cities in this vicinity, for almost a
year and half. While moving a
piano Mr.. A. sustained scratch on
his right hand. AS the injury was
a minor affair and gave no pain, he
paid but little attention to it. About
two weeks later the hand began to
swell and medical aid was summon
ed. For several months the hand
was SO badly swollen that Mr.. Alex
ander was unable to work, but final
ly it became better and he resumed
his position. Since then the poison
has never entirely lett the injured
hand Mr.. Alexander visited sever
al local physicians, but as the wound
did not heal, he went to Fort Dodge
and had the doctors in that city look
at it. Later, as the Fort Dodge men
did not seem able to cure him he
went to Des Moines, where treat
ment was taken but with little sue
cess. About two weeks ago Mr. AL
exander went to Denver to consult
Dr. L. H. RuegnitZ, a brother of F.
C. RuegnitZ and former Webster
City physician, with the result that
the wound is slowly healing, and it
is expected cure will be effected
soon

such trials which will be given all
over the United States and Canada

Everybody's readers in this city
have been following the past three
months the tantalizing, battling and
puzzling mystery story written for
that magazine by Mary Roberts
Rhinehart, a prominent author of

THE Case of Jennie Brice" and so
far has related the mysterious dis
appearance of young actress, re-
Gently married and living in the
city of Pittsburg. 1t is suspected
that she has been foully murdered

to determine whether this is true or
not. The interesting, exciting and
Fascinating story of the case is un-
folded by the thirteen witnesses APP
pearing in the case and excitement
reaches the highest possible pitch as
the jury retires to render their de-
cision.
In awarding the prizes for the
best report Of such mock trial the
judges will consider three points
the manner in which the trial is
held, the manner in which the YER
dict is reached, and lastly the man
ner in which the report is made. ALI
reports must be in by December
10th, after which time prizes will be
awarded as soon as possible and the
result made known in an early issue
of Everybody's. Three national
prizes of $500, $500 and 5000 re-
spectively, besides various state

that city in which some of the most
prominent lawyers will take part.
