THIS IS MY Goth BIRTHDAY.
Leslie Combs.

Leslie Combs, who is taking q
leading part in the organization OF
the Progressive party in Kentucky,
was born in Little Compton, R. l.,
July 81, 1852, the son of Gen. Leslie
Combs, distinguished soldier of the
civil war. After completing his edu-
cation at Pennsylvania University
kentucky, he engaged on an extensive
scale in stock raising and tobacco
planting. He also acquired large
ranch interests in Texas and Indian
Territory. At an early age Mr..
Combs became active in Republican
politics in Kentucky and in 1898 he
was appointed pension agent for the
state. In 1902 he was appointed
United States minister to Guatemala
and Honduras and from 1906 to 1911
he served in a similar capacity in
Peru. In March, 1911, he resigned
from the diplomatic service to re-
turn to Kentucky and devote his
attention to his bushes interests.

Sidelight On Sunday Theatres.

The holding up of two young N.Y.
more girls, the assault on young
man who attempted to protect them,
and the later assault on an older one
armed man can be directly laid at
the door of Sunday theatres in Be-
midi. Had the theatres not been
offering attractions-and it may be.
granted that the pictures shown were
proper-it is hardly probable that
the girls would have been tempted to
come over on Sunday night.
While in this case the girls were
rescued before any harm was done,
yet it, might have been much worse
had help not been at hand. 1t is an
an example which throws an inter-
esting sidelight on the Sunday clos
ing of theatres, and should be we'll
considered The case shows that of
ten the indirect influences are more
harmful and frought with graver con-
sequences than the direct.
The girls parents should have
known where they were on Sunday
night, and knowing, either should
have kept them from Bemidii or at
least provided proper escort. But
where the parents seem to be so de-
ficient there is an excuse for the city
to exercise it's police power and do
away with the thing that attracted
the girls from their homes.
The question of closing the NOV
ing picture shows on Sunday involves
many issues, one of the main ones
being that it would deprive work.
ingmen of place of amusement on
their one recreation night in the
week. It would at least be inter-
esting to see accurate figures which
would show what proportion of Sun
day night audiences is composed of
this class of people and what proper
ton is composed of others, like the
girls in question who can go any
week night.

Third Party Assured.

Many men in this part of the state
who were for Theodore Roosevelt
before the Chicago convention have
stated that they are not in favor of
third party and will not support
such an organization. Yet these men
have tried to remain Roosevelt men
and blind themselves to the fact that
to follow him now means nothing
else but to join third party. :,
The action of the convention in
St. Paul Tuesday proves this beyond
doubt. Regular delegates were
which will be held in Chicago and
at that time regular national Or
ganization will undoubtedly come
into existence. Those who took part
in the St. Paul convention and who
are looking to the Chicago conven-
ton to nominate Roosevelt for the
presidency must realize now that
they are in fact third party men.
The fetish of party is largely ex-
tinct so that it is doubtful if the new
party will lever have the allegiance.
which has marked both. the Demo-
crat and Republican parties in the
past. 1t was allegiance to party and
to the machine which forced the
nomination of Taft and having seen
how it works out, people will be slow
to again follow party so slosely.
Taft's nomination would have been
impossible had there been a few more
states with primary laws. These
states will have them by 1916 so
that another Chicago convention,
such as the one held in June, will be
improbable. The third party will
live through the coming campaign,
but whether it continues to exist or
it's members return to the old party
to fight diease from within remains
to be seen.
At any rate, those Republicans
who believe that the Taft nomina-
ton was an injustice to the rank and
file of the party and who believe that
the people should be- given an OPP
portunity to vote for Roosevelt and
either elect or defeat him are fast
coming to realization that third
party is the only vehicle which they
can use.

THE CHRISTMAS TREE WOOD.

Ho, little fellow, if you will be good,
Some day you may go to the Christ
mas tree wood;
1t lies to the north of the Country of
Dreams,
1t glitters and tinkles and sparkles
and CLEANS;
For tinsel and trinkets grow thick on
the trees,
Where wonderful toys are for him who
seize.
You go by the way of the Road to Be
Good,
Whenever you go to the Christmas
Tree Wood
And when. you draw near you will
notice the walls,
That rise high above the fair City Of
Dolls,
Whose entrance unless you are want
ed, is barred
By Tin Soldier regiments standing on
guard
Its over in Candy Land, there where
the shops
Forever are turning out peppermint
drops;
Where fences are built of red and
white sticks,
And houses are fashioned of chocolate
bricks;
Where meadow and forest and side
walk and street
Are all of materials children can eat
You sail on ship over Lemonade
Lake
And drink all the waves as they culver
and break,
Where Jumping Jacks jump in the
sway of the breeze
But only the children most awfully
good,
Can ever go into the Christmas Tre'
Wood.

Make Believe"
