WOODROW WILSON DEFINES
SHAM PRoGRESSIvEISM.

In a speech on "The Training Of
the Intellect, made some years ago,
Woodrow Wilson thus truthfully de
scribes sham progressiveism
S'The fault of our age is the fault Of
hasty action, of premature judgments,
OF a preference for I'll considered ac-
ton over no action at all. Men who
insist upon standing still and doing a
little thinking before they do any acl-
ing are called reactionaries. They
want, in fact, merely to react to a
state in which they can be allowed to
think. They want for little while
to withdraw from the turmoil of par
ty controversy and see where they
stand before they commit themselves
and their country to action from
which it may not be possible to with
draw.

PRESIDENT TAFT'S PRO-
GRESSIVE SYMPATHlEs

The word Progressive" is about
the most overworked word in our
politics. It used to signify a man of
liberal political philosophy, who was
not closely bound down to the tradi-
!, tons Of the past, but expected the
coming of new light, new men, and
new measures.
The progressive" of to-day, how
ever, is much more like what used to
be denoted by the word radical" or
indeed by that of Revolutionary.
President Taft has every title to be
considered real progressive. He
simply does not want to go so fast as
to sacrifice and shatter the results
that have been obtained by long
years of upbuilding and sacrifice.
President Taft urged the postal
savings banks, which provide a place
of savings which host of working
people find helpful to their needs. He
established a tariff board, which did
a great deal to take the tariff out of
politics, until its life was cut off by a
Democratic Congress.
President Taft favored downward
revision Of the tariff, as far as can be
accomplished without sacrificing
American industries He condsiders
no tariff schedule as sacred, but ex-
poets that as American industries de-
velcp, they will from time to time be
able to giye up something of their
tariff defences.
President Taft has been sincere
advocate of the conservation policy.
Say the worst you can against Sec
rotary Ballinger, no one can deny
that Mr.. Balinger's successor was
one Of the most advanced guard of
the conservation movement
President. Taft has been very ar
dent advocate of reform of our judi
,cial procedure, particularly in rem
cdying the laws delays His pro-
5posals along this line would do much
more to put justice in the reach Of
the poor man than the so called PRO.
gressive' project to place court de-
icisions at the mercy of popular cleo
tions, with all their uncertainties.
President Taft has rigidly enforced
the progressive laws created to re-
strict the aggressions Of great cor
porations. His action in holding up
the advances in railroad rates was
estimated to save the public about
$50 900, 900. Many other progressive
achievements could be mentioned
did space permit

According to latest reports received
by the state immigration department
wheat has averaged 1906 bushels to
the acre in thirty-eight counties re
porting yields. Other yields reported
are: Oats, 1929; corn, 1872; barley,

AS an index of Northwest prosperi-
ty, the ST. Paul bank clearngs cannot
be overestimated. Up to October l
of this year the clearings have made a
net gain Of s2G,500,0OO. Some idea of
the rapid growth of st. Paul as a fin
ancial center can be secured in con-
trasting the clearings in 1886. In
that year they were s1O1 $3.50, $4,000.
This year they will be approximately.
100000 100000.
Indications point to a record break
ing registration for the School of Ag-.
riculture of the University of Min
nesota. It is expected that more than
1000 students will register. Last year
the registration was 800.

The dastardly attempt upon the
life of Theodore Roosevelt at Milwau-
kee, has shocked the entire nation.
All right thinking citizens, irrespec-
tive of political differences, condemn
the nefarious act, and feel Inundated
to think that it is possible for crime
like that to take place in this country
of ours. Every so often, it seems,
one of our public men is destined to
fall at the hands of an assassin. That
the crime was committed by one of
unbalanced mind, makes it no less de-
plorable. How to deal with. degener-
ates and the criminally insane is d
problem greater than any social or
economic question of our day Let
us hope and pray that the wound in
flicted may not prove serious and that
Mr.. Roosevelt will speedily recover.

THE TAFT ADMINISTRATION AND

Nothing in American life seems
more threatening than the growing
disregard for law The readiness to
settle labor troubles by throwing
rocks and assassination, the growing
prevalence of theft, burglary and en-
bezzlement, the open defiance of
courts and constituted authorities
here is a veritable canker eating into
the heart of our national life.
: The one great reason assigned for
the prevalence of crime is that our
courts have been so ready to let the
sinners go. Law has been defined as
a net that holds the minnows, and
permits the whales to break through.
1t has been the common gibe of the
underworld, that a man is given a
year in prison for stealing a pocket
book, but if he steals railroad from
the stockholders, he is exonerated by
the courts and worsh1pped in society
Against all this Mr.. Taft has set
himself resolutely. The big sinners
have been prosecuted with all the
power of the government.
The dissolution of the tobacco and
oil trusts, whether effective or not in
lowering prices, was the only course
left to Mr.. Taft under his constitu-
tional oath to enforce the laws made
by Congress. Most president would
have lodged the obligation He did
not view his responsibilities so light.

The prosecution of the sugar Gus

illustration Of the spirit of the admin

graft, that no administration il.
American history has so white re
cord in the matter of common hon
esty. Moreover the biggest under
taking of American life, the digging
of the Panama canal, has been cay

who favor law and order and honest
government have been seeking fo,

whose whole figure is generous, as far
as the physical attractions go. Add to
that a sweet voice. a chic but not pre-

that is used and not stored away for

NO IDEAL FOR HIM;
JUST A GOOD PAL

An ideal is nebulous sort OF thing.
clad in an ethereal halo. and set up on
pedestal, the foundation stones OF
which are virtue and beauty.
At some time or other in his life. every
man pictures TO himself an ideal. usual
ly IN the spring. Ideals shriveI up and
die under the hot rays of matrImony,
however.
Castles in Spain and ideals are about
on the same level Every man hopes
that some time he will be able to bag
for himself his ideal woman. and usual
ly goes about the task with a double
barreled bow full of candy arrows and a
lovesick smile.
I believe that no man. however. OF his
own conception forms an ideal. He Sees
the dream woman first, and then ele-
Yates her to the plane OF the ethereal
Makes a religion OF her, as it were.
My ideal is not some one with black
hair or light hair. or q delicately curved
eyebrow, to which could write sonnets;
or Cupid's bow mouth. All these
things are merely passing fancies. Beau
ty is skin deep. and no one wants to
marry a skin. There are plenty OF
skins in a taxidermists shop that cost
l-ss than a wedding ring.
1t is the pedestal not what is on top
of It that counts. Every man has at
least two conceptions of an ideal in
common with his fellows. She must be
good and she must be a good companion,
one with whom he can so down the
years Of life, arm in arm; one who will
stick through thick and thin, and come
out smiling at the end. Just a good pal
that's all. PRACTICAL

ONE MAN THAT DOESN'T
LOOK FOR UNATTAINABLE

Ideal wives, according to experts, are
about as rare as ideal husbands, and
should be endowed with many virtues
such as a healthy boy, a true heart and
a sensible mind They should know the
value of money and never search their
husbands pockets. They get up before
breakfast and never sit down to the
breakfast table in their kimonos and
their hair done up in curling papers.
An ideal wife is fond of the open air
and joins her husbands in his pastimes,
such as riding, driving, tennis, walking
or golfng. She loves horses and dogs,
and music and flowers and children. She
dresses with taste and style, retaining
for herself and dress distinct person
anty. She Is gentle and genteel and
ever considerate OF others. She can sit
down and trim a hat and make a little
waist for herself in an emergency. and
knows the difference between an onion
and an egg, and knows how to prepare
a cup of coffee. She speaks OF her par
ents as II they really were worth while
and is not ashamed to call her mother
Mother and her father Father" The
ideal wife is a good companion to her
husband and is able 10 take a mans
views OF things and can discuss with
him and others the trend OF the times.
She does not worship at the shrine OF

THIS IDEAL IS ONE
HARD TO CLASSIFY

There is no such thing as an ideal.
When younger I used to create a
mind woman that filled every desire.
With the advancing years the psychol-
ogy of desire enters into my likes. And
now l often find a woman absolutely
devoid of a perfect feature of face or
an elementary requisite of form, so far
as artistic standards go. who seems
my ideal. But IL could find my souls
ideal she would be like this:
Some one in whom the spiritual and
artistic had grown up and merged with
the physical.
Some one buoyant in health, but en-
tirely feminine.
Some one who could go down the
years with me, and in whom I could
find every day an hidden spring of in
terest.
Some one who. after speaking. would
leave the subject entirely exhausted.
Some one with whom / could ind an
entire community of interests.
And. finally, some one who would be
as good as the best, but as alluring as
the worst.
OF course, there are none like this.
II there was, buoyed up with an eter-
nal hope. 1 would go on dreaming that
might find her, and IL never did, find
great soy in my dreams.
