THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY.

The first move toward organizing
the new progressive party locally
was inaugurated Monday night when
a Jackson county central committee
was formally launched at Medford.
Every part of the county was repre-
sented The spirit and enthusiasm
manifest augur well for the future.
1t was not gathering of men with
axes to grind and personal ambitions
to forward, but that of earnest men
with a purpose. There will be no
local scramble for offices. Oregon
has primary system through which
fair expression of the voters may
be registered, and in keeping with
the expressions of Mr., Roosevelt that
where the people had had a fair
chance to register their will through
primaries the nominations should be
let stand, was cheerfully adhered to,
There is little doubt but that the
new party will carry the state OF
Oregon by large majority.

MOTHERS RIGHTS.

The biennial meeting of federated
women's clubs just over in San Fran
cisco was conducted along the safe
and sane line of permitting nothing
to come up for open discussion that
might mar the serenity of the pro-
ceedings or provoke hostility.
This might be shrewd politics and
little real wisdom, but for all that
1.-The world moves" and womankind
is furnishing her fair share of the
motive power. And whatever the
federation did or didn't for the cause
of women, they put over some things
for mothers rights. and particularly
mothers pensions. They passed a
resolution that 1t was the intention
of those $500 women from all over
this Union (and many from over the
seas), to promote in every way they
possibly can the passage in every
state of laws protecting mothers left
widows with young children and
without means, in their right to care
for and train and educate them, the
state contributing such financial
help as will enable them to attain a
self-supporting age without their
mothers being forced into wage
earners.
The Kansas law seems to be one
of the best SO far, 1t allows $40 for
one child and S. additional for each
additional child, The sum will be
increased as the average taxpayer
comes to realize how much better
and cheaper it Is to give child a
chance than to rescue or reform him,
One of the cold facts disclosed by
juvenile court work is that the great
est contributing cause to delin-
quency is lack Of proper home sur
roundings and influence,
California contributes 1925 8
month toward the support of each OF
its dependent wards, and one or two
of the eastern states have similar
laws, The strong probability is thai
the provision, in some form, will be
brought up in the next session of the
legislature in many more states,

VETO is irWENTY-FIFTH.
Taft's Action on Wool Bill One of
Many.

Washington, D, C,-When Presi-
dent Taft vetoed the wool bill Satur-
day he stamped with his disapprove.
the twenty-fifth legislative measure
sent to him from congress and vetoed
Most of the vetoes were on compara-
lively unimportant subjects during
the special session last summer.
Four of his vetoes have been of
tariff bills. His one other veto of
Importance last year was directed at
the joint resolution admitting Ari-
zona and New Mexico to statehood.
This bill met with executive disap-
the Arizona constitution allowing the
recall of judges.
Besides the wool bill, the presi-
dent has returned one other impor-
tant measure at this session-the
army appropriation bill-which, as II
passed congress, would have legis-
lated General Leonard Wood out of
office March 4, and would have made
radical changes in the army. AL
ready, however, he has planned
vetoes for this session to add a hall
dozen to the present record.
The vetoes of the steel tariff bill
and the legislative, executive and ju-
dicial appropriation bill, with its
amendment abolishing the commerce
court, will be sent to congress early
next week. Messages returning the
proposed cotton revision bill and the
excise tax bill will be prepared when
congress sends them to the White
House.

WONDERS OF THE WORLD.

Remember the old-fashioned book
we used to have when we were kids
that told us all about the seven Won
ders of the ancient world and gave
us fancy and fanciful pictures of the
same?
Those ancient wonders were a use
less lot of junk, so far as human hap
piness was concerned. The Egyptian
pyramids, the hanging gardens of
Babylon, the temple of Diana of
Ephesus, the Colossus of Rhodes and
all the rest of them were of no good
TO the common man, In fact, they
represented his sweat and tears.
Popular Mechanics recently asked
1000 eminent scholars and scientists
of the whole world to pick out what
they deemed the seven modern Won
ders of the world, and here is the
result:
Wireless telegraph, telephone, aer-
oplane, radium, antiseptics and anti
toxins, spectrum analysis, X-ray.
Now notice the difference. After
all we do live in a better world. In
stead of our modern wonders mean
ing suffering for someone, they are
largely concerned with the relif of
suffering. Instead of making vast
masses unhappy, they are concerned
with the well-being of the race.
The wireless telegraph that en-
abled part of the Titanic's passengers
to be succored and the antitoxin that
saved one little child from horrible
