"Proeressives' viii Organize.

The progressive" party, born Sat
urday In Chicago, was dedicated Sun
day. In the presence Of perhaps SOC
men, all of them recognized leaders
of the movement, and many more
onlookers, the first formal step was
taken. Gov. Hiram Johnson of Cali
fornia was empowered TO appoint a
committee of seven members 10 con
fer with Col Roosevelt and formu'
late plan OF action.
Here is the birth OF new party"
said Gov. Johnson when this was
done.
The movement is going steadily
ahead" said James r. Garfield OF
Ohio, Those who think this is a
Hash in the pan are mistaken"
In the opinion OF the leaders, the
new party enters the field with a
formidable equipment. These lead
ers, however, said that as TO the men
who took conspicuous part in the
campaign for Col Roosevelt's nOmi-
nation, each must speak for himself.

"T believe her stage career will be
extraordinary. She has a most re-
markable dramatic sense

how does this dramatic sense display

Well replied the other, 1t dis

And the congregation Of the other
church, apparently answering the ques.
ton, were singing: NO. not one; no.

Mail by Motorcycle.

Washington, Sept. 11.-If d test now
being made here proves to the salts
faction of the p%ostotiice department
that motorcycle collection of mail is
faster and more economical than the
use of horses and motorcars those MAJ
hines will nos likely displace the
old system in every city in the United
States. One machine is being used in
the experiment here. Every point Ell
her for or against is being studied.
The machine. which is the only n
owned by the department, has been in
operation here for some time.
Assistant Postmaster Robinson be-
lieves the motorcycle will be a sue
cess both from a point Of speed and
economy. The department can only
recommend the displacing of horses by
motorcycles. 1t has no authority or
appropriation to make the purchases.
At the present time thirty-four
horses are used in the collection of
mail in Washington. The government
allows $500 yearly for the use of horse
and cart. Letter carriers who would
own the machines would find the cost
of the motorcycle to be approximately
the same as the cost of a good horse.
The cost of upkeep would be much
less.

They lie directly in the line of flight Of
these migrants. which. since restric-
tons have been placed on shooting
creased numbers on their northward

fowl breed there. and the association
plans to increase the number by af-
fording them unusual advantages in
the way Of food. The breeding Of wild
ducks will be the initial work in propa-

ut is quite likely that the association
will procure an expert gamekeeper

they will teach their profession to
Americans and will thus start a line

TAET AN oPrIMISr-

In the midst OF all the pessimlstic
political agitation we are hearing these
days, IL is refreshing to read the opti-
mistic utterances of President Taft
who continues to deal with solid facts
and exercise good common sense. AT
Philadelphia Saturday night he said:
While | do not dcprecate in any
way the movement for real reform aud
progress. provided it is sane and Is
not affected with fads and DISPOSE
ton to disturb those things that have
been useful TO us Tor hundred years.
am nevertheless. conscious that
there is no duty so heavy upon the
government at Washington as that OF
seeing TO it that it interfcres as little
as possible with the business OF the
country and the progress Of the enter
prises of the country and assists the
inspiration of confidence in those
whose confidence is necessary TO make
business go and to bring about pros.
pcrity.
Il am in favor Of the enforcement OF
the law. but / believe that the law
and business can be squared in such
way that those who violate the law
may be prosecuted and that there may
be an absence Of persecution and nc
disposition TO nun amuck lust for the
purpose of showing that the govern
ment at Washington realizes that Il
has job and is trying to make peo-
pie think II has.
Now. I am not n reactionary: 1 an.
progressive. am not pessnnist;
am an optimist; and J believe that
we are going forward; believe that
we are on the eve of good times. I
believe things are growing better"
