WHAT ONE BULLET DID.

Less than week ago the Democratic party, in
common with the Republican party, making the
charge that Roosevelts fight one of personal
ambition that the Progressive party created for
the purpose of satisfying the ambition Of Roosevelt
and not for the promotion of any principles; that
there was no demand need for such party in so
far as the welfare of the people was concerned.
Now comes Mr.. Bryan and says that because Of
the attempted assassination of Roosevelt neither
Colonel Roosevelt nor his friends could ask that the
discussion should be turned away from the principles
involved"
And Governor Marshall Democratic candidate for
Vice President saying:
The deplorabe affair would bid keep silent IL
this campaign being waged merely to settle the
question to whom the people would give the Office Of
President Such, however, is not the purpose Of the
campaign 1t involves, in the judgment of the Demo-
Gratis, than offceholdng. 1t lays hold Of
the only principle of self-government.
Even Hilles, young Mr. Hilles, the Republican
The Washington times., 1912-10-20

national chairman who has all along insisted that
Roosevelt the beginning and the end Of the Pro-
gressive party-even Hilles announces that despite
the fact that (according to all his previous utter
ances) the whole Progressive party is in bed in a
Chicago hospital the fight will 60 on just the same.
Those who knew ii before but denied it, as well
those who did not realize it before admit that
the Progressive party is party founded upon prnci-
pies, commanding the support Of millions Of voters
because Of these principles, that man made 1t and
no man can destroy it. 1t is truth. 1t is justice. II
is humanity. 1t is the future. 1t is movement, not
individual. II is political revolution, not mob.
II is force not a fancy.
Schrank's bullet put Roosevelt in bed for the time
being, but il also shot lot Of truth into this cam
paign and stripped the fight Of lot Of falsities.

SUFFRAGE FOR DISTRICT WOMEN!

1t would be just the luck Of this town, when it
gets the suffrage that every American community
ought to have to get real universal suffrage Colonel
Roosevelt is working out plan to provide suffrage
for us, and to include the women in it.
Washington being Federal jurisdiction exclu:
sively, is the only place where the Federal authority
could determine the limitations to be imposed on
voting Colonel Roosevelt, an advocate of equal
suffrage, has bethought him of the possibility Of try
ing the experiment in Washington
Washington ought to nave suffrage, without ref
erence to the particular fiscal system that its anomal-
Gus conditions make necessary here. Nothing can
possibly serve the same purpose of precpitating and
unifying public opinion, well elections. There
is no one thing Washington needs more than a real,
effective formulation Of community sentiment No
matter If Washington is to continue being ruled by
Congress; Congress needs to know what Washing
ton wants, what it has its mind now feels about
things; and suffrage would give it the information
it needs
Suffrage will come, before very long. While il
is coming, all the better if it shall be real universal
suffrage.

WILSON AND THE TARIFF QUESTION.

A little while ago, Governor Wilson was mildly
and gingerly commencing the social justice plsnks
of the Progressive platform, the while explaining
that the Democrats, too, would do all tna Perhaps;
but they didn't manage to think about it till after the
Progressive convention had written it into a COM
pact with the nation.
Now comes the Democratic candidate, with assur-
ances which tantamount to an effort to convince
the voters that ne will also accept the Progressive
platform on tariff. Governor Wilson has managed
to be in about all the possible positions tariff; he
is engaged now in joint debate with his fffor-
revenue platform. If elected, he would be engaged
in four-year continuance of that debate not only
with his platform, but also with the various elements
in his party that entertain the widest divergence Of
views on this ISSUE Governor Wilson would appear
from his most recent uterances disposed to annex
the Progressive platform-for campaign purposes
because he has found it the platform that makes the
most effective appeal to the country.
But the country will not submit. 1t knows how
impossible would be the effort to carry out any
structve program through the instrumentalities
which would be available for employment by DEM
ocratic President

Getting Them Cleared Up.

1t has been found that Ernest San
derson took second on sweepstakes in
the poultry department. at the fair.
Accidentally number was entered
in the judges book which had no
corresponding exhibitor and the name
of the prize winner was not learned
until Wednesday evening. Mr.. San
derson had the finest trio at the fair
but under the rules the birds were
handicapped three points. Later in the
season they would have taken first
place.
1t has also been found that Mrs. V.
5. Pease instead of Mrs. Walter Pierce
took first on apple pie. For some days
there was an uncertainty about the
first prize on this particular kind of
pie but 1t was found that Mrs. Pierce
exhibited no pie of the apple kind so
the disputed point was easily decided.
Mrs. Pease has taken first premium
before on apple pie and the one exhib :
tied this year deserved the ribbon.
In case there are other errors the
secretary will be very glad to clear
them up.
