citation, on behalf of the many citizens
of my race, of this CITY and elsewhere,
who are In sympathy with the princi-
pies of the great Progressive movement
which is daily enlisting valiant soldiers
in its ranks throughout the length and
breadth of this country, not only OF my
race but OF every nationality enjoying
citizenship under the flag of this Re-
public, for the kind consideration ac-
corded and the most courteous treat
ment extended US not only while In at
tendance at the great Progressive con-
vention at Chicago. August 5, where
i, as one OF the assistant sergeant-at-
arms, had ample opportunity to OBJ
serve It's proceedings, and where many
of my race were seated as delegates
from several States and accorded all
courtesies possible. but also as a men,

moval Of partisan politics, and the establishment OF
the initiative, referendum, and recall in city affairs
Instead Of electing long ticket Of city officials,
most of them unknown to the average voter, COM
mission Of fve or seven men is elected No party
name appears on the ballot; nobody runs as Repub-
lican or Democrat The men elected are given coin-
plete authority to appoint all officers under the city
government Against this tremendous power is set
off the fact that the people nave the right to recall
officials, and have exercised it in number of cases.
This guards against the commission building up a
political machine.
The commissioners constitute the citys Legislative
body II they don't do such legislation as the town
wants, the people may initiate any measure tbss
want by petition, and force vote it; likewise,
they can by petition suspend tine operation of any
measure passed by the commission, pending vote
Of the people upon it.
These extreme powers are seldom invoked, sim
ply because the commissioners and all officers under
them, knowing that they directly answerable to
the people, are careful to make their public acts
form to public opinion.
New Orleans has shown every disposition in re-
cent years to fall into step with tine most progressive
leadership With the Panama canal just being opened,
and with the city fairly entered on the way Of
civic progress it is safe to predict almost any bril-
liant future for it.

A FAR.REACHING RULE.

The Republican national organization is setting
up curious precedent in refusing to aid the Maine
Republicans in their State campaign either with
speakers or sustenance. The reason given is the
belief that the majority of Republicans in Maine
wanted Roosevelt nominated for President Maine
made famous showing for Roosevelt and the rule
Of the people at the June convention in Chicago
If the Taft campaigners apply this rule through
out the country they will limit their activity to small
area. The great Republican States of the North
were the Roosevelt States at Chicago in June. The
Progressive strength in the same States is even
greater today.
The Indifferent treatment of Maine by the Taft
organizers is a striking admission of hopeessness
of getting the electoral vote of the State.

WHO DID GET THAT $4,000?

To review very briefly:
Penrose got $4,000 certificate of deposit from
Archbold.
He said it was a contribution to the Pennsylvania
campaign.
Archbod said he always paid such contributions
in currency.
His testimony left this $25,OOo item more mys.
terious than ever.
Now the Pennsylvania State committee finds it
didn't get that $25,OO0.
1t has searched its records in vain for trace of
any such bunch of cash.
Why not fall back on the original and obvious ex-
PLANTATION, that Mr. Penrose got it for services rem
dered to the Oil Trust from his seat in the Senate
1t has been proved that the services per-
formed. They were well worth the money. Penrose
got the money. The records disprove his story that
he passed it along
The conclusion is easy Roosevelt says Penrose
should be driven from the Senate, and he is right.

THE LESSON OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

One-party rule has brought the State of South
Carolina to such pass that it must accept man
like Cole L. Blease for the Democratic candidate for
governor The decent people of the State, heartsck
over the notoriety his first administration brought
their beloved Commonwealth, fought to the last ditch
for their emancipation, but without avail.
What is left them, then? Few decent thoughtful
men of South Carolina will vote the Republican
ticket Their only means of rebuke is to stay away
from the polls altogether. But what does man like
Cole L. Bease care for such rebuke as this?
South Carolina gave last Tuesday an unequvocal
demonstration of the need of third party in the
South She afforded Mr. Roosevelt complete justi-
fcation in his determination that throughout the
South that party should be white mans party, under
white leadership
Sooner later, the existence of the party will
make the Beases impossible. Its formation marks
the dawn of political regeneration in many South
ern State.

NEW, ORLEANS LATEST GOOD-GOVERN-
MENT VICTORY.

New Orleans on Wednesday, by the remarkable
vote of ten to one, adopted the commission plan of
government. In doing so it takes the long step which
necessary to consolidate and establish permanent
ly the benefits accrung from the great ant-machine
victory that was won about year ago.
New Orleans is the largest city in the nation that
mas thus far adopted this system. In 1910 counted
$4,000 population. Other large cities under tie
same system include Los Angeles with $4,000, Oak
land with 10000, Spokane with 100000. Expert
ence has demonstrated that this plan operated quite
as we'll in large as in smaller cities There is NO
possible reason why it should not be as successful
in Chicago or New York as in Des Moines or Rock
ford.
The basis of this commission system is the short
ballot concentration Of responsibility, absolute
