THE THIRD PARTY CALL.

A cali is not a platform, and It
would be unfair to demand at this mo-
ment full bill Of particulars from the
signers of the call for a new or third
party Yet a few definite articles of
faith have surely been looked for in
the text Of the call. None such can
be found therein. The call, except
for its first paragraph. might be signed
by every citizen out of Jail who de-
serves his freedom.
Who admits that he is opposed to
the commandments delivered at Sinai?
Who is against social and industrial
justice? Who is against progress,
prosperity, government of the people
by the people? Who prefers revolu-
ton to evolution? Who will defend
immoral privilege?
For many years the country has
been striving to bring about industrial
and social justice. Reform has been
the watchwOrd. Every platform is
more and more progressive, every can.
didate most earnestly claims to rep
resent the people who want progress
justice and honest government. The
call is, of course, addressed only to
those who believe that neither OF the
great old parties wills" justice and
reform or has the intelligence anG
vigor 70 fight for these universal de
siderata. How many thus despair Of
the historic republican and democratic
parties, time will show.
But meantime the leaders Of the pro
posed new party should ponder thu
/ principles and planks on which the,
expect adherents to stand. 1t is no
/ enough 10 make brilliant promises
/ What will be the tariff policy, tn,
trust policy, the financial policy, tn
labor policy of the third party? VIVA
does 1t mean by social and indus
trial justice?" Will il be for protec
ton or against it? Will it offer a scier
tiic test of legitimate protection? Eoy
will it regulate combinations? VIVA
tests will it apply? How will It r,
duce the cost of living? How will
cheaper credit, improve banking, DIT,
vent furries and panics?
Many factors will determine the f,
ture of the projected third party, bu
it is obvious that It must start wit
definite ideas and concrete proposals

WHEN ROOSEVELT PREFERRED
WAR TO PEACE.

II IL IS true that President Taft offer
ed 10 withdraw his name from the
Chicago convention in favor Of q pro
gressiye, but Colonel Roosevelt re-
fused to entertain the oner. Colonel
Roosevelt and not President Taft is
responsible for the muddle in which
the republican party finds itself today.
A dispatch from Cedar Rapids, dated
June q. confirmed conclusively the
statement that Taft sought peace at
Chicago but Roosevelt insisted upon
war.
The dispatch, which was published
in The Argus the day it was sent out.
reads:
Governor Herbert s. Hadley Of
Missouri today confirmed the state
ments OF Colonel Roosevelt and Con
troller Prendergast Of New York that
Taft leaders had offered at Chicago
20 seat the Roosevelt delegates from
Washington and Texas If Roosevelt
would consent TO the nomination Of
Governor Hadley or some other third
man. Governor Hadley passed through
here today on his way TO fiji chautau-
qua engagements. This proposition
was made 10 me and / understand that
10 also was made TO Colonel Roose-
Welt said Governor Hadley. i refused
TO consider IL or discuss il. unless
It first had the approval OF Colonel
Roosevelt. as I was for him for the
nomination and no one else. was
told afterward that Colonel Roosevelt
had refused his consent"
This is important for Governor Hadley
says IL is true. II the president can
show that he was willing TO withdraw
IN The interest Of party harmony. It will
make a difference in his standing be.

old methods Of exaggeration, but 1t
Is found in advertising as in most any
thing else, that in the long run hon
esty is the best policy"
A speaker at the recent convention
of the Indiana Furniture Dealers con-
vention in his address said: We
have certified milk, We have certi-
fed checks, and the day OF the certi-
fed lad" is at hand. Advertising, to
attain it's MODEST possession, must
begin with conscience. Happily, ad-
vertising men are beginning to realize
the abuse to which their profession
has been subjected, and are beginning
to reform from the inside, but the
reform will be successful only to the
extent to which the manufacturer
lends his cooperation"
This is the proper and true senti
ment regarding advertising, and in or
der to induce honest advertisers. news
papers themselves should be absolute
ly honest in presenting their claims fol
advertising.
There is no excuse for any secrets
or any misrepresentation in the news
paper business. The days when mis-
representation Of circulation or o
other matters in connection with {
newspaper have passed by, and tn,
day Of honesty in the newspaper ant
the advertising business has come, a.
It is coming in all other lines.

THE RIGHT KIND OF PROGRESS
SIEE.

Governor Wilson has referred 10
himself as "a conservative who doesn't
stand still" and Governor Marshall
has been called "a progressive with
the brake on"
These are the right temperamental
qualifications for sound craftsmanship.
There is need OF being careful with
legislative and administrative innova-
tions lest they become destructive in
stead Of reformatory: but. having de-
cidod upon a plan Of action after prop
or deliberation, the constructive pro-
Eressive statesman will not be deferred
merely because what is proposed is
new.
Running down grade from safe
ground without foot on the brake,
however. is apt TO end in the wreck
Of the wagon, and rampiug bull moose
are very likely 70 smash the crockery
in the political china shop.

TO pay excess baggage on the prizes.
According to Van HaitreD. II was
Browning who introduced the habit of
rubbing down bat with tobacco juice,
which custom is followed to this day
by many OF the players. The idea is
to roughen the surface Of the stick
and prevent so many fouls slipping off
one side OF the other.
Browning. who was a great user of
the weed. used TO polish down his
sticks in this way without any appar-
ent reason until he commenced to be
lieve that it made a difference with his
hitting. and after that no wagon tongue
of his ever escaped a coating of the OBJ
noXiouS fluid.
Other players took ii up in the hope
OF emulating Browning, and now # is
a common custom throughout the coun-
try.
When Pete retired from the game
all the bats, relics Of former days,
were still in his possession. In order
to keep them always in his sight Pete
had them turned down to a uniform
size and used them as posts for the
baluster IN his house.
To the day Of his death they remain
ed the most valued Of his possessions.

Something unusual and beautiful
happened at our place this morning,
said the plump little woman who has
a summer home in the country.
81 was fussing around in the garden
back of the house, when suddenly
heard some one singing. 1t was
rich bass voice and the tune seemed
familiar. l wondered who 1t could
be, for we haven't any near neigh
bors. Besides, I didn't know any
among them could sing like that.
81 hurried around to the front OF
the cottage, where the sound seemed
to be. And-will you believe it,
there I saw an old man, in overalls
and swinging his tin dinnerpail, trudg,
ing through the dust Of the road. His
face was lifted to the heavens and
out of his mouth was rolling the
grand rhythm OF a Bach choral.
He sang it correctly, too-and re,
verently, as If he were thankful fol
the wonderful morning and the boun
teous gifts of nature about him.
T"It is so seldom one hears anything
like that in this country" unused the

AW0MANCO OBSERVATIONS


why do think he is foreigner?
My dear, can you conceive of an |
American doing anything like that?
Why, in the first place he'd consider
it waste Of time to study Bach
choral. In the second place. he'd be
scared to death to sing 1t right out
loud even on lonely country road, for
fear somebody would hear him and
guy him for it. The average Ameri-
can is so afraid Of ridicule and what
they say that he suppresses all his
finest emotions, and only lets himself
loose in a crowd"
We've been horribly shocked In
our neighborhood lately" remarked
the tall girl in one of those big pan
amas with black velvet ribbon adorn-
/ ing it.
DO tell US about it." begged the
| girl whose white shoes smelled of a
recent cleaning with gasoline.
I'VE have some new neighbors, and
they have two daughters and son.
And-well, you know how convention
al our neighborhood is-one of those
cutand-dried residence streets where
everybody must do just so or it's
horrible scandal Why, mother
doesn't dare go out on the back porch
without her corset on! That's why
we're going to move this fall-eitheI
into a 10-acre lot or a city fiat, where
We can do as we please.
But about the new neighbors-tht
girls are about u and 10 years ole
and not small for their age. Ant
they go about most of the day dressed
just like their brother-in blue jeaI
overalls and bare foot The only differ
ence between the girls and the DO.
: is that the girls hair Is tied up will
ribbons. And they're the happiest
healthiest family you ever saw in you
: life.
But the neighborhood is holding
! conniption-ft meetings, and if tn
women get their way expect the ney
, family will be tarred and feathered
/ However, I'm with the new family

Hurnor and
Philosophy
THE ONLY WAY.

THE way to be happy is easy,
l. And you will succeed II you try.
It's simply to always keep busy.
Thus leaving no moments to sigh,
For II you are working like sixty
You haven't a moment to waste
In moping or any such antics
That are at the best in poor taste.
The man who Is building q sawmfll
Or working away at the pumps,
What time, may I ask you, IL any,
Has he to be down IN the dumpsH
Not any or less is the answer;
He has to keep digging away
Or else they might dock him for moping
And he would be shy on his pay.
The man who is all the time busy,
As busy as bees on the wing,
Is happy because he is doing
Or making some fine little thing.
The joy that he finds In the labor,
Serene, satisfying, complete,
Is not to be gathered from loafing
Or working his way on the beat.
Up, fellows. and at II ere evening
Comes down with its signal for resti
Be busy at something, and always
Be busy at doing your best.
And that Is the way to be happy,
Should any one venture to ask.
You never will win It by resting.

CAPITAL COMMENT

licans failed to give when they had
control.
AMENDMENT IN CANAL BILL.
In the Panama canal bill the house
wrote amendments TO the interstate
commerce law which sooner or later
will have to be adopted if the inland
waterways ever are developed. The
provision Of the house bill which pro-
hibits collision between the owners of
coast wise vessels and transcOntinent-
al railways is certainly in keeping
with the progressive thought of the
day, and is conceded by all to have
been a step in the right direction.
The house has tried to restrict appli-
cations fo" injunctions so that, with
out diminishing the effectiveness Of
these remedies they could not be ap-
piled an arbitrary manner, but only
after a full hearing. The house did not
enact postal express law, for the
simple reason that the leaders had
knowledge that the reactionary senate
would reject such a measure, and the
house leaders did not wish to prejudice
the measure at this time, preferring
TO wait for a more favorable oppor-
tunity to press it into law.
PROGRESSIVE ENOUGH.
This program certainly was progress
sive enough to suit all fair-minded
/ progressives, and it will be generally
conceded that all the measures passed
by the house were designed for the
public welfare. The reactionaries, OF
course, are constitutionalIy opposed to
any advanced policy.
The democratic house has lived ur
to its promises in every way, and its
record of accomplishment is sure tc
be a great factor in the present cam
paign.

One of the oldest and most eccentric
characters baseball has ever produced

slugger, who played with Louisville
around the eighties and later Joined
the Cleveland club in 1870 during the
Brotherhood war.
Pete was a little of in his roof gar

cd his precious batting average was
meat aud drink to him. II made no
difference how many fly balls ne drop

landed two or three safe ones during
a game.
Bats were n mania with Browning
and whenever he could pick up a club
which suited him it was added TO his
enormous collection. So many were
gathered al various points on some OF
his trips that he sometimes was forced
