METHODISTS SCORE TAFT

LONG BEACH, Oct 8.-Amone the
four resolutions adopted by the lay as
sociation of the Methodist conference,
the one attracting the most attention
was aimed at the recent act of Secre-
tary of the Interior Fisher and Presi-
dent Taft in continuing to allow Sec
tartan teachers in Indian schools to
wear the garb of their orders. This
the laymen's association bitterly OBJ
jects to, and one of the speakers ia
voring the adoption of the resolution
Editor Bovard of the California Chris
tian Advocate, strongly limited that the
attitude taken by President Taft was
maintained for political reasons, and
that it was one of the greatest blum
ders the president has made. The res
olution was as follows:
Whereas, the Methodist general con
ference on May g. 1912, adopted strong
resolutions endorsing the order of Com
missioner of Indian Affairs Valentine e.
directing that no garb or insignia of
any religious sect or order be worn by
teachers employed in government In
dian schools; and,
Whereas, against the protest OF
united Methodism and other Protestant
denominations that order has been
overruled by Secretary of the Interior
Fisher and President Taft;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
lay association of the Southern Califor-
mia Methodist conference voices it's re-
gret at this action by those high in
authority in the nation, and expresses
the conviction that this recognition of
religious orders in the work of schnais
that are supposed to be conducted with
out religious bias. is unwise and con-
trary to the principle of non-sectarian
education which has come to be the
settled policy in our public school sys-
tenn. 1t is our strong conviction that
neither the garb of the Methodist dea.

Red Blood
BY Wallace Irwin

Wallace Irwin has been called "the
American w. S. Gilbert" Ever since
this youth, just out of college, pub
lished The Love Sonnets of a Hood =
lum,' perhaps the only book of verse
in recent times which made real money
for it's author, he has shone as our
foremost writer of light and satirical
verse. AS a prose humorist he has
been hardly less eminent. He it was
who lightly poked fun at the excesses
of undertaking in THE Shame of the
Colleges" he it was who fooled the
world as long as he pleased in the
Letters of a japanese Schoolboy," a
series of satires which set the whole
country laughing, and which were yet
so realistic that they fooled people who
had lived among the Orientals all their
lives.l

But it's rather hard to make ensan-

Yet one dread slogan from his soul

, idols. Let him continue to demand
you?"
Many years ago as young man
lived in a small community in the
Rocky mountains where we had not
much law beyond that of the six
shooter. 1t was a sweet and seemly
country for a man. No man abused
his neighbor there. There were few
locks on the doors. There was one
great law, which ran to the effect that
when trouble came, it was a mans
part to strap on his gun, get out in
the middle of the road and meet his
trouble full face. OF course, he mign;
get killed; but that was much better
than to live with the record of having
hid behind the door, and having
shrieked for the sheriff or other form
of representative or constitutional gov
ernment to come and take care of
him.
He Leads. Others Follow
Theod ore Roosevelt was not the sort
to hide behind the door. For that rea-
son, America admires him. For that
that reason Colonel Bryan, Mr.. John
Maynard Harlan and the very late
Congressman J. Adam Bede follow him
wherever he makes speeches. why do
they not precede him, and why does
he not follow them? The answer is
fairly obvious. He is a leader, and
not a follower What sort of man
do you want in the White House at
Washin gton-a leader or a follower?
Why are you a Progressive? In
all likelihood it is in no wise just
to say that you are a Roosevelt wor-
shipper. Perhaps you became a Prog
ressive for the same reason that 1 did.
because you have read the history of
America and American politics, be-
cause you have studied the great ques-
tions of American history. We have
had great issues before today but
none larger than those of today. We
face the third war Of American indie
pendence. It is not enough in days
like these 10 sit down clutching the
clay idols of an ancient party in our
laps and refusing to lift our eyes.
Whether we do or not, the world
moves on.
Now, all the great issues of coun-
try, of this country, are not decided
inside of old parties, but outside of
them. This is true in spite of the
vociferations of all the Borahs, La Fol
lettes and Hadleys who get cold fee.
when the shooting actually begins. New
and great human needs always have
demanded new and great political par
ties. If you do not believe this, read
Am erican history You will find there
that great parties have come up and
grown, that they have waxed and that
they have waned. That is why there
are Progressives today, and a Prog
ressive party. In time a yet more
progressive party will replace this
Progressive party. Always there are
some men who think, some men who

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET

NEW YORK, Oct. S-The cotton
market opened at a sharp decline of
Is points from the cables and later
sa gged off about 20 points more today.
Selling orders reached the ring from
Georgia, Louisiana. Texas, Tenness &c
and other states. Wall street, uptown
interests and wire houses also sold
freely. In fact, selling was very gen
eral on the decline. There was un-
doubtedly a good deal of cotton pick ed
up by spot people and there was quiet
buying of the January on the scale
down, and in addition to covering OF
shorts there was said to be buying by
spinners. Rfordan heavy early buying
was said to be for Pell. Weld brokers
We're credited with buying on the de-
cline. No one seemed to be paying
much attention to the Atlantic coast
storm, however, and the long range
weather predictions of the government
may never materialiZe. Talk around
the ring reflected a bearish average of
sentiment and many observers thought
that such sentiment would continue un.
til there was a change in the weather
as, they argued that southern hedge
selling would give the shorts plenty
of opportunity to cover. Following is

why fool with this new party?"
asked an acquaintance. What can
you get out of it? 1t has no chance
to win"
You can make no answer to that
sort of comment from that sort of
man. If you told him the truth he
could not understand you. If you made
him the simplest of all explanations
he could not believe it. He cannot
comprehend that a party can do any
body great good without affording
somebody great graft. If Ephraim be
welded to his idols, let the union of
the two endure. The world moves on
just the same.
The final argument for this new
party lies in that fact; that the world
does move. Compare the dark ages
with today, and you find that the world
has moved. All civilization is prog
ress The progressive party is the
party of civilization. Do you want the
dark ages or today for yours? Thar
is your own concern. The world will
move on just the same.
The rewards of a clean way Of
thought are something which the old
line standpat man cannot understand.
What are you expecting to get out
of this?" he demands; and thinks you
are crazy when you say you expect
TO get nothing out of it. Yet you are
crazed only in the delirium of the
human impulse forward. The stand
pat man cannot understand that. You
cannot argue with a man who deals
in assertions only, and whose prem
ises are those of the past. Let him
alone. The world moves Just the same.
One of the assertions Of the stand
pat man of either of the old parties is
that this third party is Roosevelt and
Roosevelt alone. OF course, that as
sertion is not true, because the world
had progressed before Roosevelt was
born and will do so after he is dead.
The motives of this third party go
deeper than any one mans life. They
take hold great causes and effects,
on real conditions, which are far wider
than any one mans life.
With or Without Roosevelt
If Theodore Roosevelt fell dead to-
morrow he could go happy, knowing
that the fight he wages will sometime
be won, knowing that the world moves.
with without Theodore Roosevelt.
1t makes no great difference whether
Bacon or Shakespeare wrote Shakes
Peare. The fact, the deed, is the great
thing. 1t makes no great difference to
civilization whether Roosevelt some
one else shall win this great fight; ii
will be won sooner or later. Theodore
Roosevelt himself is a great enough
man TO know that.
The standpat man of either old party
cannot understand these things. The
sheer delight of a mans decision, the |
joy of a fight which is there to be
fought-these are the things which the
standpat man of either old party can !
not understand. Why argue with him?

The house of commons wins stead

things if you like. You do not stop
them. This Progressive party is the
outcome of conditions. part of the
progress of the world. 1t is bigger

human need. Do not join with it un-

The Progressive party is in tune

game, and all Novembers look alike
