Proposes Boldly to Face
Great Questions of Day,
Avoiding the Dead Issues
Declares Party Platform Should Not Be of the Ordinary
as~ Kind, But One In the Interest of
~ resfaSn All the People, c"'

In outlining the policies Of the new
party. Mr. Roosevelt spoke as follows:
To you. men and women who have
come here to this great city of this
great State formally to launch new
party, a party of the people Of the
whole Union, the National Progressive
party, 1 extend my hearty greeting.
You are taking bold and a greatly
needed step for the service OF our be-
loved country. The old parties are
husks, with no real soul within either,
divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden
and privilege-controlled, each a tumble
OF incongruous elements, and neither
daring to speak out wisely and fearless
ly what should be said on the vital
issues Of the day.
This new movement is q movement
Of truth, sincerity, and wisdom, n
movement which proposes to put Mt
the service OF all our people the col
lective power of the people, through
their governmental agencies, alike In
the nation and In. the several States.
We propose boldly to face the real
and great questions of the day, and not
skillfully to evade them as do the old
parties. We propose to raise aloft a
standard to which all honest men can
repair, and under which all can fight,
no matter what their past political diff
ferences II they are content to face
the future and no longer to dwell
among the dead issues of the past. .
We propose to put forth platform
which shall not be a platform Of the
ordinary and insincere kind, but shall
be contract with the people; and, II
the people accept this contract by put,
ting us in power, we shall hold our
selves under honorable obligation to
fulfill every promise it contains as
Loyalty as If 1t were actually enforce
able under the penalties of the law.

voters. for they in no shape represent
the rank and file Of Republican voters).
These men by their deeds give the
lie to their words. There In NO health
I'm them, and they cannot be trusted.
But the Democratic party is just as
little to be trusted. fhe Underwood
Fitzgerald combination in the House Of
Representatives has shown that 1t can
not safely be trusted to maintain the
represent the interests of the plain peo-
pie at home.
The control Of the various State bosses
In the State organizations has been
strengthened by the action at Baltimore; |;
and scant. indeed, would be the use of
exchanging the whips Of Messrs. Barnes,
Penrose, and Guggenheim for the scor.
pions of Messrs. Murphy, Taggart. and
Sullivan. Finally the Democratic plat
form not only shows an utter failure
to understand either present conditions
or the means Of making these conditions
better, but also a reckless willingness
to try to attract various sections of
compatible promises which there is not
the slightest intention Of redeeming,
and which, IL redeemed, would result In
sheer ruin. Farseeing' patriots should
turn scornfully from men who seek pow
er on platform which with exquisite
nicely combines silly inability to under.
stand the national needs and dishonest
insincerity in promising conflicting and
impossible remedies.
If>this country Is really to go forward
along the path of social and economic
justice, there must be a new party OF
nationwide and non-sectional principles,
a party where the titular national chiefs
and the real State leaders shall be In
genuine accord, a party In whose coun-
sells the people shall be supreme, q party
that shall represent in the nation and
the several States alike the same cause,
the cause Of human rights and of gov
ernmental efficiency.
At present both the old parties are
controlled by professional politicians
in the interests Of the privileged
classes. and apparently each has set
up ss it's ideal OF business and pOliti-
cal development n government by hn-
ancial despotism tempered by make
believe political assassination.
Democrat and Republican alike, they
represent government Of the needy
many by professional politicians in the
interests of the rich few. This Is class
government. and class government OF a
peculiarly unwholesome kind, D.,

A FEW DONT'S.

After three months of married life,
Mrs. Ella Farnham, 20, has left the
Brooklyn boarding house where she
and her husband of 60 had made their
home, has sued for divorce and gone
to work as a clerk in a notion store.
She recommends the following
"dont's," based on her own brief ex-
perience to all women contemplating
matrimony.
Don't mary a man who cannot give
you coy little home of your own.
Don't marry until you have spent
at least five years in the society of
men.
Don't be afraid of being An old
maid. 1t is worse to have your heart
broken by a man unworthy of you.
Don't marry too young and with
too little knowledge of men.
Don't take men seriously. Most
mems compliments are deceiving.
Don't contradict those who tell
you marriage is farce.
Don't forget that a good office
job is better than a poor man.
All this covers broad ground. But
broader still might have been covered
by a single sentence: Don't marry
at all unless there is love enough to
last longer than three months"
Love can overcome all adverse con.
ditions, make a happy home anywhere
sweeten sorrows and disappoint
ments, smooth the wrinkles of age
and lend wisdom to the inexperience
of youth, and cause all life's joys that
are really worth while to hover about
it and radiate from it, as fragrance
surrounds the rose.
There are no fixed rules for happi
ness in marriage. and never can be
any.
But it may confidently be stated as
| an invariable general principle that
lots of love is needed to prevent a
| wife kept in a boarding house from
being like fish out of water.
The great mass of happy wives who
| work in their homes, rear their chill
dren, cook the meals, mend the cloth
ing and do the thousand and one I'm
ending tasks Of the housewife need
not envy those glistening butterflies
who look upon marriage as opportun
| ity for leisure.
The happiest women in the WORLD
are the wives whose love finds ex
preston in work-not overtaxeG
drudges. whose lives are necessarily
miserable. but the women whose time
and hands and minds are ever occu
pied in making the home happier ant
! life for all around them sweeter with
wholesome meaning.

Amateur Performance
Was Great Success

What proved to be one of the most
successful amateur theatricals ever
presented in this city was the musical
comedy entitled Santa Claus at Miss
Prim's' as given last evening in the
high school auditorium by a number
of children under fourteen years of.
age. under the special direction of
Miss Juliet Swayne. The proceeds
from the affair will be used to pay the
taxes on the old Business College
building. Miss Swayne is to be con-
graduated for the wonderful manner
in which the children performed their
parts. 1t would really be hard to Sc
lect any special star as all the parts
were taken in an excellent manner
There was not a single hitch in the
program from the time the curtain
went up until the close of the affair
The scene presented was a most at
tractive one.
Many children including boys and
girls are students at Miss Prim 8
academy and have been told by Miss
Prim in a most severe manner that
there is no Santa Claus and also that
they will be unable to go home for the
holidays as the bridges have been
washed away. One can easily imag-
inc the disappointment of the children
when they learn the news and espe-
cially when one sees Miss Prim, a
most sedate and dignified old maid.
The part was taken by Miss Edith
Moore and was most capabiy done. All
the songs were pretty and the chorus
es were catchy and lively adding spir-
it and vivaciousness to the little play
let. One of the decided hits of the
evening was the song entitled Lisp
ing Lou as sung by Miss Katherine
Emerson. Miss Emerson shows re-
markable histrionic ability for one SO
young. Misses Martha and Mary Tiff
| were also excellent and really were
far above the average for amateurs
Mr.. Malcolm Dill, as "Newsy Ned
| made quite sensation by the wonder.
| full manner in which he interpreted
| his part.
Master William Weed was also very
good. In the second scene where Santa
Claus makes his appearance the ex
pectant look on the faces of the chill
dren add to the charm of the entire
setting and shows really what Santa
means to the little people.
| Miss Ruth Hadley who sang the
poor newsboy to sleep later awaken
/ ing him and showing Santa to the
| doubter, was most excellent. Miss
Hadley has a fine voice for anything
of this kind and her work was appre
ciated by all. She was forced to re
| spond to hearty encore.
Mr.. Reeves as Santa Claus, was
truly real for sure old Kris Kringle
the part being well suited to him. His
solo telling the children of his trav
els and of why he comes to see boys
and girls each year, was a charming
affair and added much to the success
of the event.
Music was furnished by an orches
ira. Miss Ruth Yeo who has studied

OLD WINTER.

Winter. old fellow. you're merry
and mellow,
You forge the flame OF the home
ing fire.
And while you glisten. we hush
and listen.
A love dreams over his full de-
sire.
The wind comes sitting the SHOWS
white drifting
To shut US In from the toll and
strife;
And laughter graces the children's
faces,
While song flows sweet through
the clustered life.
Winter. old fellow. you yowl and
below.
You smite us hard with the wind
and sleet;
But through your flashing we see
the flashing
or spring.time glories where
dawn il sweet;
The SHOWS fall over the fields of
clover,
And hide the hills from our rest
ing signs
But through them creeping, your
warmth Is keeping.
The roses red and the lilies
white.
