Chicago, ILL.,, March 9.-President
Taft gave new definition of "po-
litical progressive" in a speech at
the Swedish American Republican
League of Chicago in honor of John
Ericsson, inventor of the monitor, to-
day being the f1ftieth anniversary
Of the battle between the Monitor

tinguished predecessor" deserved
most of the credit for awakening the
public to the need for action and ar
gued that progressive Is that pro-
gressive does" pointing to some of
the achievement of his administra-
tion as proof that it has qualified un-
der that definition.
''The term 'progressives' includes
all of those" he said, "who have
been moved to efforts of reform by
the necessity for legislative and gov
ernmental action to deprive corpo-
rate capital and undue vested privi-
lege of its political power and to
bring about proper, popular and gov
ernmental control and regulation of
the use of capital in legitimate ave-
nues and for the legitimate pur-
poses.
The Approval of the People.
can administration which has
been successfully progressive in deeds
is entitled to approval Of the people
The present Republican administra-
ton In what 1t has accomplished In
legislative and executive action is
able to point to many real steps
both in the way of avoiding any dis
turbances of business as well as in
ameliorating the legal status of GER
tain classes of the people, and in in
creasing the functions Of the Govern
ment for the benefit of the whole
people"
Mr.. Taft pointed out that the pro-
gressive movement practically began
with the present century. 1t was
in this connection that he brought
a reference to Colonel Roosevelt.
During the administration of my
distinguished predecessor and by his
appeals to Congress and to the pub
lie, the people and especially the
business communities were reused
to the necessity for action" he said.
''The great public benefit arising
| from this movement cannot be over
estimated. 1t put the people on
guard in every State and in every
community"
The antitrust law and the inter
| state commerce acts to control law
breaking corporations, both had been
passed some time before, said Mr..
TAFT. "But," he continued, "the first
!, step and the most important, was
the stirring of the people to the ma
ture of the crisis that they had to
| meet and the obstacles they had to
overcome"
The President reviewed some of
the acts of his administration, in
cluding the tariff, the enforcement of
the antitrust and interstate COM
merce acts. as proving its progress
siveness.

who took testimony Ia the suit.
In 1904, according 10 the finding OF

wife loved money. He thought thai IL
would not be wise TO let her have too
much, SO he asserted, and he allowed
her only SIS a week.
She frequently demanded more
money, he said, and this his

DENIES HARM
IN SHOW AT
INSTITUTION
Head OF Isolation Hospital Says
Councilman Carragher Is
MisinfOrmed.

Dr. Henry f. Ricketts,. superinten-
dent of the Essex County Isolation
Hospital, today branded as absurd the
charges made by Councilman Frank j..
C~arragher at the meeting of the Belle
vile Town Council that conditions at
the hospital were not what they should
be. At the meeting Councilman Car
ragher stated that he had received in.
formation, but refused to tell from
what source. that a minstrel show had
been given in the tuberculosis ward
without proper precautions against in
lection; that two nurses attending a
smallpox patient tool their meals with
the other nurses, and that DR.. Ricketts,
was ungentlemanly when told of these
circumstances.
DR.. Ricketts,, in his own behalf, said:
II cannot understand why such I'm
true statements should gain consider
alton. The discipline at this institu-
ton is perfect. To say that any nurse,
and especially the one named, has been
negligent OF performing her duties, Is
false. of course we canno explain
to the laymen that it is harmless for
a nurse attending q smallpox patient
10 go out and be thoroughly safe to
all others. ! state positively that
every nurse who caves the smallpox
ward does so only after taking the
greatest care that all traces of the
disease are left behind.
I'm regard to the minstrel show
given by the boy scouts, I would say
that this performance was held in a
vacant room of the tuberculosis ward,
and only those patients suffering a
mild forms of the disease were per-
mitted to attend. AS for my being
uncivil in regard to a discussion of
these affairs, I simply say that I have
never been guilty of such conduct. An
Investigation would not only satisfy
those who make the charge, but my
self"
An Evening STAR reporter inter-
viewed Councilman Carragher, but he
steadfastly refused to divulge the
source of his information. During the
conversation with the reporter the
councilman referred to some notes
written on a small piece of paper.
