WOULD DESTROY THE PARTY
Everett Colby Says Republican
Organization Is Doomed.

Following a conference of New Jersey
Republican leaders. former Senator Everett
Colby, one OF the men most prominent in
the Progressive movement. gave out a
statement yesterday in which he said that
the Republican party as now constituted
should be destroyed and that he purposed
to help do II by the formation OF new
party.
Mr.. Colby's statement was as follows:
No definite plans have been made by the
Progressives for the coming campaign and
70 | can't say what will be done. My own
personal views, however, as TO the course
we should adopt are very clear. There is
Just one thing for us to decide-namely.
how can We the more successfully advance
legislation that will correct abuses and
help in the solution OF our social and eco
monte questions? How can we the more
readily carry out progressive programme
for social reform? In the old party or In
"a new party?
To my view there is only one answer
possible. In the old parties hear nothing
but the rumble OF machinery. II is all me-
chanics. There is no life. There IS no pur
pose. The great machine is set N motion
with but one object, and that Is to retain
power and control patronage.
The Progressives in each party are beat
ing their heads against stone wall. vast
ing their energies and permitting clean
cut issue between right and wrong, be-
come confused in perfect muddle % ride
ulous and contradictory theories about Re-
publicanism and Democracy and party
regularity. while those In both parties OPP
posed to progress stife all aspirations for
better things and defy the Will Of the rank
and file. who want TO see our political par
ties the instruments for real. efficient pub
lie service. II this 10 a true statement or

Somewhere in the teak wilds OF Upper
Burma, between Watat and the Satwin
River. lives a Burmese forester who be-
comes violent at the mention Of the
word "suffragette." His name is Magwe

whom he has been wed these ten years
Nobody on this continent would have
heard Of Magwe Minbu. perhaps, If
Charles Illingworth, mining engineer
had not come here yesterday from Glas-
gov on the Anchor liner Columbia and
unfolded a tale of the bad Burmese man
who despses the progress of women.
About five years ago Mr.. Illingworth
was sent out to India by a Scotch COM
pany To prospect for tin. and his wan
behring's led him to Upper Burma. His
search was encouraging and for four
years he hunted for the metal, living
among the brown brethren of the teak
country He learned dialects and GUS
toms and grew to like the Burmese peo-
pie, but only once in his four years OF
wandering did this Ulysses from Glas-
gov see a woman of his own race.
She was the wife OF MagNve Minbu,
the forester, rich In moneys and preJu-
dces, whom he met down in Rangoon,
whittier he had gone to dispose of his
woods she loved Magwe for the riches
he possessed and he loved her because
she was a comely white woman who un-
derstood the tongue, and no had hopes
of learning.
The Burmese was good TO the ambl-
tious English woman who had the cour-
age to marry him and live with him far
from the white mans country, ana he
reaped his reward by acquiring English.
All went we'll until some London news
papers found eheir way to Watat, and
then Magwe became riled. He read Of
the militant suffragettes and their eX-
ploits and decided that no woman OF
their blood. even though she he his wife,
could undertake anything like that in
Burma Magwc called his wife one day
and told her that thereafter she would
have to be kept in subsection. Inwardly
he feared this lone woman and the re-
mote influence for i'll she might have
with the dusky women Of his own land.
He did not beat her, but he made OF
her a servant. He compelled her to
stand at the table while he ate, and walt
upon him, and when he had finished she
was permitted To eat what remained 81
the FOOD. AZ night she had 10 WELD In,
punka until he fell asleep and steal what
rest she could on a rug beside his feet.
Mr.. nlingworth would have rescued
her. but such effort would have been in
vain II Is doubtful, he said. II the mill
tant women of Londo7 could induce her
TO leave the forester abe took for hus-

with that Of the National Liberal Immigra-
ton League Of which Governors Wilson
and Harmon are directors, together with
Charles W. Eliot.

better Judgment than the Republican party
with regard to immigration and other mat
ters. which are not and should not be made

scribed himself as good Democrat" "Of
course neither Mr.. Bryan nor Senator
O'Gorman committed himself TO definite
policy. and did not expect that they would,
but we all know their liberal views on
the subject. and I feel certain they will
adhere to our recommendation "A hperai

plank, or no pledge at all Many leaders
