for the dinner.
Well known Republicans have sug-
gested to the President that invita-
lions TO the dinner be sent to pro-
gressive Republicans who remained

that the progressive Republicans
will join the movement for the re
Mobilization of the Republican party
IN this category are Senator Bo:ah
Senator Cummins, Senator Kenyon,
Senator La Toilette, Gov Hadley
and others. Wei. informed Republi-

lican progressIves must be invited
into the councils of the Republican
party and must take an active inier-
est in it's management if the party
is to be put in fighting shape for
1916.
President, Samuel S. Koenig OF the
New York county committee, who
has been here for several days and
at the White House frequently, is

SOCIALISM AND PROTECTION.

For the government to compete with private
business in the interest of the consumer, who
makes up the entire population OF the coun
try is socialism, and therefore wrong. For the
government to impose a. protective tariff in the
interest of the producer. who makes up small
part Of the population. is protection. and there
fore right
For the State to pay a bounty to those de-
pendent upon their children for support, and
in return to put those children In school for
the good of society. is socialism. and there
fore wrong.
For the government to pay a bounty to
few ship-owners is cloaked under the name OF
ship-subsidy. and is right.
To take from ali ana give TO the few is for
the dey elopment of the natural resources OF
the country, and therefore. right; to take from
al, and distribute the proceeds more equitsbly
for the good of all 10 socialism. and there
fore wrong.
The parcels post system will go into
operation. and argument for and against is
merely academic now. but it is interesting as
showing how opponents of the system can
strain at gnat and swallow a camel. 1t is
not denied that the parcels post when in oper
alton will lower the cost of living by elimi-
mating the middleman to a certain extent, but
the fate OF the poor mddleman arouses the
pity of the opponents of the system. 1t Is all
right to raise the cost of living TO benefit
the few, but ii ia all wrong to lower the cost
~ living TO benefit the many. protective tariff
increases the cost of that which buy but
IT helps others: the parcels post helps Others
but II lowers the cost of living, and thereby
ntures a few.
When money Is taken from the common
treasury or from the people to help the rich
grow richer your protectionist pirates OF pros

mon treasury, and the few made to stand
their own bottom for the good of the many

WHEN MIRACLES HAPPEN.

Are women growing more beautiful" is a
question some not satisfied with perfection are
now asking.
They may as we'll ask the stars twinkling
more brightly In the skies? Are the moons
rays more beautiful on a summers night in
Richmond Is the sun growing warmer at the
equator? Is the fog growing thicker in Lon
don? Is the smile of a mother for her first
born growing more tender. Is the weather
growing murkier in Petersburg? Is the grass
greener. the flowers more beautiful in tho
spring, or the roads growing muddier in Vir-
ginia? Are men growing ugier, poets hair
longer. or Blease growing Bieasier? Are
women growing more loving, saints better OR
suffragettes more militant? Is Venus de Milo
growing handsome, the Dresden Madonna
more beautiful or babies cutter? Is Bever,dge
talking more or Lafollette's pompadour more
belligerent. and are men asking more fool
questions than ever before?
When these miracles happen then will wo-
men grow more beautiful.
