The governors speech was inter

New Party Dedicated.
The progressive party, born Satur-
day night, was dedicated Sunday. In
the presence of perhaps 500, some of
them recognized leaders of the move
ment, others merely onlookers, the first
formal step was taken. Governor
johnson Of California was empowered
to appoint a committee of seven to
confer with Colonel Roosevelt and
formulate a plan of action. In the
opinion of the leaders the new party
enters the field with formidable
equipment at the outset. These lead
ers, however, said that as to the men
who took a conspicuous part in the cam
paign for Colonel Roosevelt's nomina-
ton, each must speak for himself.
The attitude of Governor Hadley of
Missouri was the chief point of discus
sion along this line. The governor left
town without waiting to declare him
self.
No definite idea of the plan to be
followed could be obtained, and it was
said several weeks might elapse before
the program is decided upon. Gov
ernor Johnson in the meantime will act
as field marshal, and in cooperation
with Colonel Roosevelt will decide up
on the membership of the committee of
seven to guide the work of organiza-
ton.

WHY AMERICANS DRINK LESS
National Transformation Wrought
by the spur of Personal
Ambition.

The American people are almost cured

A hundred years ago most Americans
were confirmed tipplsra; and to be sosged
with drink at bedtime was the privilege
and practice OF q gentleman
Fifty years ago inebriety had taken

that rcformaiory measures followed ons

nolds, Murphy. the Sons OF Temperance,

Temple OF Honor and White Ribbons. all
commensurate means TO wean people from
family wrecking, nation threatening
drunkenness.
Today IL Is a positive disgrace to get
drunk. and a serious handicap TO have a
name for tipping.
This national transformation has taken
place In practically the first eentury's
hvtory OF our people
II IL a remarkable result for which there
il a remarkable and patent cause.
II must not be wholly attributed to
religion. education. social dictum. moral
sensiblIty. or any theoretical arguments
Tho mania for drink has been sup
planted by a more mastering maniar-per-
sonal ambition.
Ambition for achievement. position and
power brooks no handicap; 50 American,

Ghosts, ike everything else In this bus
Ting twentieth century. are beginning to
toe the mark and to justify their exist

An American paper tells us that ghost

N. J. The mill was abandoned because
the late owner failed to make II pay.
but soon afterward the neighbors de-
clared that 1t was running again. but.
oddly enough. at night and not in the
daytime
A man named Hsnnion went to inyesti-
gate, and when he entered the mill found
that the saw table bad been loaded up
with a log. Presently the water gates
were lifted and the circular saw began
10 revolva
Then Hennion became aware that
man was guiding the log against the saw.
As he watched he saw the man seat HIM
self upon a log which was rapidly nov
ing toward the saw.
He rushed forward. but felt blow
which staggered him When he came to.
the man sat laughing on the log. Next
instant the big saw tore through the
spectral form, which vanished instantly.
Down In Mexico there are ghosts which
build walls.
