A DIsGRACEFUL SCENE.

THAT was disgraceful scene pre-
4 scented at the Crooked Whitman
wedding at San Francisco last week.
What is more, it was snobbish
scene, although one not infrequent
at American display weddings. In
fact there were two disgraceful. snob-
bish sides to it.
Americans like to call themselves
free and equal. One man is just as
good as another-theoretica But
such scenes prove that some people
think themselves better than others
and that some others think the first
parties are better than themselves.
Persons who really are equal. who
realize heir equality, don't do as that
Frisco mob did, even in the heat of
excitement. a= .ne'.- -, -:
But the responsibility for such
scenes rests not only with those who
follow very human i'm pulse and let
their natures run away with their
pretenses, their manners and their
sober thought. It rests in even larger
degree with those who make vul-
gar display Of their wealth and OF
the social position that wealth--fre-
quently nothing else-gives them. =
When people make SO sacred a
thing as q wedding an excuse for
moneyed display; use every art of ex-
pert press agenting to create interest
in the coming scene: by the promise
Of display of wealth stir the curiosity,
the envy Of those who have not the
wealth, they must expect that the re-
suit will be much the same as follows

A PASSING PATRIOT.

Senator Bailey of Texas may not be the Cato of
the United States senate but he is entitled to the
distinction Of being the Guardian of the Constitu-
ton.

If the American people would preserve the consti-
tuition in all it's dignity and original intent they
could pursue course better calculated to make
the work of the fathers than to dismiss the
aged and decript justices of tine supreme court and
make Mr. Bailey the sole justice and the exclusive
arbiter of the nations destiny.
The constitution is the breath of his life. He
reverences it as holy heritage. John Marshall
became the constitution. Mr.. Bailey is the consti-
tuition If the constitution to be amended,
Mr.. Bailey would suffer greater pain than if of
his limbs to be amputated If the constitution
should perish, Mr. Bailey would die.
Senator Bailey has been wrought to high state
OF excitement by the revelation that President Taft
summoned senator's to the white house and urged
them to expell Senator Lorimer. He has induced
the senate to pass resolution rebulzing the execu-
tive for his invasion of the constitutional preroga~
tives Of the representatives of the several states
Mr.. Bailey said
In Gods has the senate of the United States

he has to summon senator and tell him how to decide

the judges creatures of his hand. Far better that
ten corrupt senator's should be ravshed to obge these
presidential politicians.
In spite of Mr. Bailey the constitution was raw

legislature met at Springfield long before Lorimer
or Bailey was born-the constitution was ravished-

they called into existence the National Convention.
Then it was that the college of electors sup

He is leader of his party. He is held responsible

government. to the circumstance.
Mr.. Bailey has great fear of the president He
has no fear, however, Of our plutocracy. Senators

Chicago Tribune.
Let us look at the LaFollette side of the case.
Before Col. Roosevelt announced his candidacy for
third term, very determined band of Progressive
Republicans IN both houses, acting under the lead
ersmp OF Senator LaFolette had not only dethroned
Cannon, but had SO ably and successfully attacked
the evils of the prohibitory tariff that in the last
congressional election the people turned against
those who were responsible for the Payne Aldrich
bill and drove many Of them out of office. The
people replaced them with Progressive Republicans
OF WIN Democrats, choosing in each case the most
aVo1lable method to accomplish their purposes.
When he president, Mr. Roosevelt did not
condemn nor oppose Cannonism. Instead he actually
embraced 1t. Moreover, not once during the seven
years or more that he occupied the White house did
ne utter word Of criticism of the tariff nor did
he even suggest the possibility that it might be wise
to revise even single schedule. "
The fight made by Senator LaFollette and his
associates in the senate against the greatest Of Spe
cal privileges has proven to be not only not, inef-
fective, but matter Of fact very effective Roose
welt accomplished nothing, nor did he attempt to
accomplish anything
Generally throughout the country, real Progress
sves take little stock in Roosevelt and his kind of
Progressivism: They do not accept him as Progress
sve. Nor is Senator LaFollette's attitude toward
Col Roosevelt based upon personal dislike 1t is the
result OF lack of confidence in Mr. Roosevelt s del
ity to Progressivism and his willingness or ability
should he be chosen president, or to make the deter
mined fight for which the situation calls. The PEG.
pie are serious in Progressveness they are not just
playing politics. Progressives united on Republi
can when he represented the Progressive cause
they are lined up behind Wilson, the one Progress
sive candidate for president who can win.

ClVICS IN THE SCHOOLS.

Example Worth Following Elsewhere
Is Set by Cincinnati
There has been published by the
Cincinnati public schools a valuable
syllabus for eighth grade teachers in
civics. The pamphlet contains thirty
FIVE pages of concise information.
These paragraphs from the introduce
ton to the syllabus are worth quoting
as indicating it's purpose and method
of preparation:
"This syllabus has been issued to
supply information concerning Cincin-
natl and to furnish such material of
more general character as is not
readily obtainable. 1t Is the result Of
the combined effort of most of the
eighth grade civics teachers and nu-
merous public spirited citizens. With
in the last two years many OF the
eighth grade teachers have been hold
ing weekly meetings. listening to lee
lures by those who are authorities on
civic topics, mostly relating TO the
local community. and discussing meth
DDS Of instruction. The syllabus has
been developed through these confer
ences.
1.-THE teaching of civics should be
regarded as a piece Of constructive
work wherein. by a study Of the local
community and a comparison of it
with other communities. the pupil ar
rives at correct understanding Of
the fundamental principles of COM
munity life. But. important as may
be a knowledge Of the local com
munity and Of community life gen.
orally. teachers will lose their great
est opportunity If they do not make
instruction in civics an effective We
hicle Of moral instruction"

COOPERATION IS THE
FOUNDATION OF PROGRESS
Buy at Home and Give Your Na;ohh..
Square Deal,

In many localities. and especially in
the western states. organizations have
been formed among the business men
to boycott the patrons of catalogue and
mail order houses in such a way that
when these patrons ask for an accom-
mediation or offer to sell their products
they are advised to go where thew are
spending their money and ask these
favors.
The old adage, tits a poor rule that
won't work both ways" can here be
applied quite successfully, and event
ually break up the sneaking tricks of
some men in business who will stand
up and preach home trade and town
improvement until they gasp for
breath and at the same time would get
up at the dead hour of midnight and
walk forty miles in the dark rather
than spend dime with their next door
neighbor who is in business.
However. these kind Of men who call
themselves business men are nothing
more than Holsters Of the commonest
kind. who think they are working a
smooth game. but they are all found
out in the course of time and wonder
why they can't hold the trade they
used to have.
The customer has a just and good
reason to withdraw his patronage
from any merchant when he knows
he is being deceived. not only by his
dealings. but by his business methods
and the manner in which the merchant
treats other business men In the town
The man who will go away from
home to purchase goods that are sold
in his town. not as a matter of price,
but simply because he Is jealous of
his neighbor. is the individual who is
most deserving of boycott and should
have it administered strong and often.
There are plenty of honest and 10y
al progressive men in business in
every town. and it is the personal
duty of every consumer to throw his
patronage and influence to these mer-
chants, not simply because they treat
him right. but because they are citizens
and give their neighbor business men a
square deal.
Cooperation is the foundation Of
progress. A lobster binders progress

request was made that the trades and
professions and business enterprises
place gifts in the building representa-
tive Of their work. The various munic-
fpal bodies were approached In the
same way.
The various rooms of the building
are all tremendously decorated with
Of which are appropriate and are rep
resentative of the life and work of the
school In all It's branches.
Some Of the more indirect advan-
tageS of such a movement will be
readily seen. 1t deepens the interest
Of the donors in the school and leads
them to more frequent visitations
than they would otherwise make. thus
forming constituency which greatly
assists the school board in it's aim to
make the high school a civic and So
c1al center.
The various gifts from the organiza-
lions and representatives Of the for
e1gn races constitute a certain bring
ing together Of the various democratic
elements Of the town. Upon several
occasions representatives of such bod
les Of the people have come before an
assembly of the school to make a for
NAL presentation Of their gifts.
In addition to the direct gifts the
commission obtained additional funds
by giving picture exhibit for, which
admission was charged. In one case
well to do family decided that they
could spare considerable number of
pictures from the well covered walls
Of their home. and they permitted the
chairman Of the commission to make
q selection OF them, the value of this
particular collection being about 500.
Perhaps no movement has even TAX
en- place in the town which was a
better test Of its latent civic spirit.
1t was not long before a common
greeting In the street was Have you

1t will readily be seen that this Is
a scheme which can be carried out in
definitely In an attempt to have rep
