ROOSEVELT REVIEWS
WORK OF PROCRESSIVES

Theodore Roosevelt made for
NAL statement Monday night bear
ing upon the election and the
future of the Progressive party In
line with previous expressions of
his own and of his colleagues, he
reiterated that the Progressive
party has come to stay and 80
far from being over the battle has
just begun"
He regards the party's showing
in polling more than 100000
votes in the face of numerous OBJ
stacles naturally in the path of a
new movement as literally I'M
paraleled in the history of free
government"
Mr.. Roosevelt closes his state
ment to the public as follows:
"The Progressive party has come
to stay. If either of the old par
ties will endeavor to put into leg
islation any one of our planks it
can count upon our hearty support
in so doing; but we will not rest
contented until the entire platform
is enacted into law and becomes
part of our political system, nation
al and state.
81 am proud indeed that the
great good fortune has been mine
to fight shoulder to shoulder with
men and women who, in the ranks
and in various positions of leader
ship, have waged this great battle
for social and industrial Justice.
So far from being over, the battle
has just begun. We will not rest
content until every feature of the
Progressive program has been put
into effect; and when this has been
done, unquestionably there will
have been opened to us new ave-
nues along which it will still be
duty to work for the moral and
economic betterment of our peo-
pie"

The Power Of tho Press.

A newspaper can drop the same
thought into thousand minds at the
same moment. A newspaper Is an
adviser who does not require to be
sought, but comes to you briefly ey'
cry day OF common veal, without dis
tracing your private AFFAIRS. Newspa-
pers, therefore, become more neces-
sary in proportion as men become
more equal individuals, and more to
be feared. To suppose that they only
serve to protect freedom would be
to diminish their Importance: they
maintain oiyilization.-De TocQueyille

DR.. Parkhurst says the public is
weary of stand patters and believes
in progressivism, but in progress
sivism conservatively administered,
and that is something of which
the spasmodic, fiery and inconse-
quent temperament of the defeated
candidate is incapable.

AS important as any feature of
this big election-more important
by far than any feature in the long
run, in facts the news that four
more states have joined the ranks
of those that give the vote to
women. The men of Michigan,
Kansas and Oregon, realizing that
justice to women has been long
enough delayed, have adopted con-
stitutional amendments permitting
the women to vote.

dennis methods of issuing currency
notes through private agencies and
urges control thereof by the gov
eminent alone"
The Socialists declare for 1.-THE

cratic management of the banking
and currency system
The tariff is insignificant as
compared with the money trust.
A year or SO ago Governor Wood
row Wilson in his Harrisburg
speech said:
The great monopoly in this
country is the Money Monopoly"
This pregnant statement from one
of the great masters of political
science is worthy of universal at
tention. The reason he gives for
it is as follows:
$50 long as that (the money
monopoly exists, our old variety
and freedom and individual energy
of development are out of the
question. A great industrial ma
ton is controlled by its system of
credit. Our system of credit is
concentrated The growth of the
nation, therefore, and all our activ-
tiles are in the hands of few men
who, even if their action be honest
and intended for the public in
terest, are necessarily concentrated
upon the great undertakings in
which their own money is involved,
and who necessarily, by every rea-
son of their own limitations, chill
and check and destroy genuine
economic freedom. This is the
greatest question of all, and to this
statesmen must address themselves
with an earnest determination to
serve the long future and the true
liberties of men"
W. B. Flemings in an able arti-
Gle in the Twentieth Century, says:
"The most potent agency in
bringing about present conditions
has been the Money Trust, about
which little is generally known or
said. The air is rife with attacks
on the oil trust, the steel trust, the
railroad trust and scores of other
trusts. The money trust-all the
other trusts have been underwritten
by this trust Without the money
trust the rest would have been i'm
possible.
st is time the public was being
enlightened as to this trust-the
original trust-the parent of trusts.
Money is the one thing need
full. With it we can procure all
things. 1t is the talisman by
which we acquire all necessaries
and Injuries. 1t is more. 1t is
the medium of exchange, the meas
ure of values and the solvent of
debts. A money monopoly in pri.
vate hands, therefore, is the most
powerful and dangerous of all
monopolies.

trolls the volume of currency is

The weird, grotesque and mirthful
traditions Of the little Montmartre PAL
ace Of terror and laughter known as
the Theatre de Grand Guignol are clev-
erly maintained by NJ. Max Maurey, who
has renewed his programme with five
new plays which were brought out last
night with decided success. a pictu-

"Hioung- Pe-Ling," or The Sanguinary
Lark" written by NJ. Charles Garin,

attached in the Celestial Empire-or re-

sosToN's TOY THEATRE.

The second program ut the Toy Theatre
IN Boston-a new venture in the line Of the
small intimate playhouse-was given last
week It included a new play by Josephine
Preston Peabody of which Mr.. Parker says
IN "The Boston Evening Transcript:
MISS Peabody's piece. The Wings is
written in verse, that in speech, II not on
the printed page. seems to run elliptically;
while the listener In the theatre cannot
pause or turn back like the reader at the
flreside The verse is bright or shadowed
with poetic images and through it all runs
an underglow of spiritual and emotional
exaltation that the mere words only sug-
eest The speaking, the acting, must open
and illuminate it. In his hut by the hoarse
Northern sea, under the gray clouds. in the
grim lights of a Northern waste, dwells
Cerdic, the hermit. The white wings OF the
gulls fash by his door. rustic against his
walls, haunt his night visions. He has no
other companions except the loyal boy
who reyeres more than he understands.
And ever Cerdic tolls at the image he
would carve OF Our Lady and make IL as
beauteous OF compassion as is She Nay,
he prays that She may knock in some
blessed hour at his door and stand before
him In transporting vision The knock
comes; the door opens: a fair woman
stands before him. He sees, believes, falls
in alteration But she is only Edburga, the
kings fair mistress. who has scourged Ger
die from the court because he said harsh
words OF her. She has come now, bring
ing the king to slay him. and would parley
with the mcnkish fellow who has affronted
her. Then out OF his agony OF spirit he
tells his illusion. To him she had been
Our Lady. the mother OF all mothers And
her heart, like the heart Of all woman
hood, melts within her, and she is ashamed
and afraid. The king shall not slay him;
back TO court he shall go to sit at the
kings right hand Cerdic barely hears and
stirs not-until the royal train has de-
parted. until he can take in his hand a
gull with broken wing and ask Gods s
blessing on all broken winged creatures.
For of such are the wings OF his illusion,
broken like the image that he has shlvered
in his agony, and of such, perhaps, is this
Edburga, who has learned whereto her
wings Of this world may not reach. But
each has learned compassion, and therein
have they seen Our Lady.
Beyond question, there Is poetry in the
play-poetry Of idea, poetry OF expression,
poetry at it's true task of human illumina-
ton and exaItation in an imaginary world
where Il can walk remote from common
things and speak in glowing words. Here,
too are the finer things of drama-in the
unfolding of the hermit's illuslons, in the
coming OF the woman; In the advance or

what has happened he carries out his
revenge with exquisite courtesy and re-
fined cruelty. In the presence OF his
wife's parents Ii strangles Tchang with
his pigtail and pierces his temples and
eyes with a long. sharp needle, causing
death after atrocious suffering. Ii then
uncovcrs the bird cage. which contains,
In the place OF the lost lark, the head OF
his wife, which streams with blood.
This disclosure has an intense realistic
effect, suggestive OF that caused by the
display Of the head Of ST. John in
"Salomo."
This drama is followed by a frol!ck-
some, highly spiccd farce, "Uno Femme
Charmantc" by NJ Andre Mycho. in
which the social blundcrs OF a naive but
exceedingly pretty dcmi-mondaine who
under a strange combination Of errors is
introduced into smart society at Trou-

and seeks shelter at lonely cha
teau. The party consists Of a NJ. Mathis
