PROGRAM OF
THE PROGRESSIVES
Norris Says They VIII Vote for Any
Legislation Which Appears
Good

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-The pro-
gressives' program for the present SEES
sion of congress is to support all
legislation that they regard as for the
best public interest, irrespective of
whether such measures are fostered
by republicans or democrats, accord
ing to Representative Norris of Ne
braska, house progressive leader.
THE country and legislators are
getting away from the idea of parts
anship,' said the representative-elect
"The day is fast approaching when
there will be an alignment between
the progressive element on the one
side and the reactionary element on
the other, irrespective of party labels.
The people are already committed to
this new condition Of affairs; there
are some good men in public life who
will still set too much store by party
labels and who will not support pro-
gressive movements unless they have
been KID by the party to which they
belong and blindly follow. But
change is inevitable.
If the democrats fail to make good
in tariff revision and in other degrees,
of progress there will be men in the
democratic party who will break away
just as men left the republican party.
The developments of the next two
years will show conclusiyely just what
the chances are for new party com
posed of the progressive element
drawn from both sides of the old par
ties.
II believe that the republicans and
progressives in the house and SEN
ate will aid during this session and
the ones following, in the passage OF
meritorious legislation, no matter
what its origin may be. / know that
l shall vote for all good legislation
gressiveness."
Representative Norris declared that
he would be interested during the SEES
zion in two important legislative
movements. One is the bill to put the
postofflce department entirely under
tne ciVli service, anu III lHlS way re-
move it from politics. Another meas
ure that he will advocate will pro-
vide for a constitutional amendment
abolishing the electoral college and
providing that the people shall vote
directly for the president and vice
president.
"The electoral college," said Norris.

Christmas Giving and Church Bazaars.
To the Editor of The Gate City:
We are fast being forced to believe
that Christmas has become COM
mercial holiday. No more going to
the woods in the snow, gathering the
sweet, fresh evergreen, then long
evenings with the boys and girls,
winding them into wreaths and fes-
toons. And during the short time
between Thanksgiving and Christmas
the good home keeper was busy pre-
pairing the rich food that belongs to
the season. Everything homemade
nd everything palatabIe Rut alas

arations are chiefly made in shops and
they flash upon the dinner table on
Christmas day like moving picture

They do not as a rule contract it at
home and take it to the school house.
Where a pupil has been found to be
suffering with scarlet fever or diph-
liberia the case should be sent home
and isolated according to the rules
established by the state board of
health. The same attention and pre-
caution should be taken in regard to
the school house as in the private
family. The school should be dismiss
ed for the day and the room thor
oughly disinfected, first, by scrubbing
the floor with a solution of tornado
hyde and then the room filled with
the proper amount of the gas of for
maldehyde. The room should then be
sealed tight until the next morning,
when it should be opened and thor
oughly aired before the pupils are
admitted. FERMENTATION Is the prime

as disease is often so masked and so

children attend school with so mid a

that they show no signs of sickness

The proper disinfection of the school

the schooi house is as a rule the
point of aggregation of germs and the
