IT'S PROGRESSIVE

Thus clearly and accurately does
Colonel Sam Gordon of the Yellow
stone Journal set forth the purposes
of the progressive mass convention
which Is to be held In Helena next
Monday:
II must not be assumed by persons
of progressive proclivities that the
convention called to meet at Helena on
Monday next Is in any sense under
republican auspices, for in fact 1T is
just the opposite. II Is for the public
renunelation of the republican prinei-
pies and methods of today that this
convention Is called, and though
majority Of the men who viii meet
there will, in all probability. be men
who have been republicans and who
have been more or less publicly iden-
tilted with that party, the intent Is
- effect positive divorce from that
relationship. and to lay the corner
stone of new party In this state,
which viii. 1t is hoped, afford q po-
litieai refuge To those republicans OF
former years who were insurgents
first and have been progressives since.
To the real progressive from the
old republican party there Is nothing
quite as Objectionable as the repub-
lican party of Taft, Barnes e. Co, with
its b-agencles In each state Me
have ours. and the fact that it Is en-
gineered Ny the Amalagamated makes
II even less worthy OF respect or rec
ognition than were II just plain repub,
lican. Those of that ilk Who still
cling to the old name and the old
traditions, must have pretty strong
stomachs II they can contemplate tho
methods employed by the Amalga-
mated last spring in the preiminaries
TO the Livingston convention, and not
gag. Those that like that kind of
treatment may stay where they can be
sure Of getting 1t, but there are a
whole lot of former republicans who
do not like, and will not stand for IL
and Ii Is OF these that the republican
wing of the progressive convention will
be made up Thorough going rebels
every one OF them, caring no NOR,
for "the old flag than for any othe,
soiled and damaged rag, but intent or
raising new flag and offering a neN
hope to disgusted humanity.
The call is for all who are impressed
with the necessity for n new party
Doubtless there are many democrats
who feel this need. 1t cannot be tha

Despite the constant talk about the
extravagances OF fashions there are
each season a number of economies
brought out by the changing styles
which the pessimist never recognizes.
The women now require less than
one-half the material for gown that
was necessary a generation ago, and
this saving in fabric Is an economic
factor seldom referred to. A mcr-
chant In a small town, who knows
most OF his customers intimately,
during the last year has had his
clerks make computation OF the
average material purchased from his
store by the women of the neighbOr-
hood In comparison with 10 years ago.
The average was made by computing
the annual purchases Of about 800
women and comparing them. The list
includes the following articles. with
the respective yardage OF materials:

These lines taken from editorial in the Saturday
Evening Post They express the thought which is in the
mind OF every progressive citizen no matter what hs
previous party affiliations have been The time is ripe for
third party The need for such organization press
ing The conditions in the country demand it: These
conditions not new and the need for third party not
new; the conditions and the need have been developing
through years.
The third party formed that night in Chicago
when the protesting delegates left the republican
ton and gathered in Orchestra hall The third party is the
embodiment OF principle and that principle not new III
is the principle which is the cornerstone Of national
structure has been overlooked it true by the who
have directed the affairs of the old parties that they have

inspiration and the impetus which he gave to the movement
them constituted his most splendid service 1t is from the
work Of Roosevelt president that the people the
way out of the slough into which government by corpora
tons has plunged them 1t is the fact that the people have
been given light to the need that makes the third party
possible and that will render it the force which will
make it the greatest power in the election this year.
The third party is for the progressives it will gain its
strength from the progressves Of both the old parties
will win because of the vitality and vgor OF the elements
which compose it.

in the law to the fee system would in
crease the compensation of the treas
urer to $4,000 TO $4,000 per year.
The law undoubtedly was changed to
