What was Right then is True now.

In speech delivered August IS
just after the new party was launch
ed, at his summer home, Sea Grit
New Jersey, Gov. Wilson said to
an audience Of neighbours:
q used to meet men who shrug-
ged their shoulders and said, What
difference does it make how We
vote? Nothing ever results from
cur votes l suppose you know the
force that is behind the new party
that has recently been formed
the so-called Progressive party? II
is a force of discomfort with the
regular parties of the United States
1t is feeling that men have gone
into blind alleys and come out Otter
enough, and that they propose io
find an open road for themselves.

The whole business OF using money
in politics demands reform. Public
ity is the first step toward getting
that reform. The senate investiga-
ton is producing a measure of pub
licity that is already giving the
reading public a fit of nausea.
The next step must be legislation;
primary acts, corrupt practice laws.
short-ballot measures and the like,
that will make it easier for the peo-
pie to get what they want and hard
err for the bosses to control.
These things are coming. They

The daily papers are now furn
ishing their readers with startling
accounts of the number of men who
are changing politically. The di
rection of the change depends al
together upon what paper you hap
pen to be reading. AS most of the
big dailies are against Roosevelt IT
would seem that there will be
hardly enough Roosevelt votes to
make it worth while counting them
But, if you see it in a daily paper
don't believe it.

WHY Edison is for Roosevelt.

am a progressive because I'm
young at IS. You see, this is a
pretty raw, crude civilization of ours
pretty wasteful, pretty cruel. Our
production, our factory laws, our
charities, our relations between
capital and labor, our distribution
all wrong, all out of gear. You
can see I'd naturally be for the
party which comes nearest to going
to the bottom of things and setting
them right-the progressive party
and Theodore Roosevelt. We're
coming to new era, and we've
got to have big, strong, honest
man at the head. ROosevelt's the
man. l go the whole way with him.
We can just forget the republican
party, and l was an old-line re-
publican before l woke up. And
nearly all the democrats offer is
honest application of the old stuff.
I've heard that campaign after cam
paign until l am sick of it,. We go
on wasting our resources, widening
the gap between work and pay, our
government generations behind our
Industries, our nventlon-every
thing.
If we're putting to rights a fact
ory that has gone wasteful and be-
hind the times, we try to learn the
up-to-date method of setting it right
and then we get the best manager

We never needed a big leader more.

The Cost of Living.

There is no issue in this cam
paign which affects so large a num-
Der of people in so conspicuous
degree as the tyranny OF prices and
the growing oppression of the mar
kets. The year 1912 was ushered
into history with a climax of pop
ular agitation regarding cost OF
living" unparalleled in the annals
of American industry. So startling
has been the rise in price levels dur
ing the past two years that the
burden has been felt in every house.
hold in the land and in the homes
of the poor many so-called "neces-
saries' OF life have become impos-
sible luxuries.
The Progressive Party has made
the thigh cost of living" an issue
in this campaign. 1t believes that
the public has grown impatient of
perpetual exposition of iron-bOund G.
conomic laws 1t demands that the
people shall have an answer more
substantial than that to be found in
broken promises and pledges unful-
filled. Its ultimatum is clear, en-
phatic and undenia BILE: Full in
quiry into the causes of the high
cost of living and immediate action
to deal with every need such in
quiry discloses.'
The Progressive Party is pro-
test against the conditions under
which this abnormal cost of living
has been permitted to develop. 1t
is a protest against the industrial
injustice which makes it impossible
for thousands of families in this
country to maintain respectable
standard of existence. 1t is pro-
test against a social code which at
tempts to justify the deplorable fact
that great mass of honest toilers
in this nation are not receiving a
living wage. 1t is a protest against
that modern slavery under which the
toll of the many has become the
spoil of the few.

filiations in national politics.
At the present time it makes no
difference whatever in the matter OF
national issues what the beliefs OF
individual candidates for the state
legislature. The only national pol
itics with (which the legislature
comes in touch is the question OF the
election of a United States Senator,
and this will not come up at the mex
session of the legislature, nor will it
be handled by the legislature until
after the people of this state have
by their ballots declared their choice
for that office, and the legislature
must act in accordance with the IN
structoins of the people. At the
next session of the legislature the
present primary law will be amended
so as to provide for the proper Sc
lection of United States senators by
the people direct. What the legls-
lature needs from all sections OF
the state is not politicians, not po-
litical aspirants, not members VINO
are for this man or that man, put
good, honest, capable and practical
men who will guard the interests CT
the taxpayers in the best possible
manner
This county cannot afford to haV
its best nominees for the legislature
defeated because of partisan politics
Brains, ability and experience are
what are required and should be
demanded of every aspirant for the
. position of honor as representative
in our law making bodies.
For sixty days the Legislature is
practically the supreme power in at
fairs of the state. 1t overrides the
governor and all other departments
of state. 1t makes laws. 1t amends
, laws. 1t repeats laws. And all these
new laws, these amendments, these
repeats, are nothing more nor less
than new orders issued for the va
rious. departments of state govern
ment to carry out. A new criminal
law is but an order on the police au-
thorities. A law regulating corpor-
atoms is but an order on state Of
ficers, telling them what to do and
how to do it.
1t is vitality necessary that these
laws or orders be good laws, and
good laws cannot be framed by
incompetent, and inexperienced
men. 1t is necessary that these laws
be in the interest of the people OF
the whole state and not in the inter
est of any particular class OF citizen
1t is true that the governor has a
veto power on the legislature, but
the legislature itself has the last
say, and can pass a law over the We
to of the governor.
1t is of utmost Importance that on
ly the best men offering themselves
for legislative positions in either the
house or senate be elected. II that
is not done the people will have on
ly themselves to reproach If unsatls
factory measures are adopted. Good
men are wanted--nOW is the time

Some Progressive Party Ideas.

Some of the principles which the
new party will vigorously uphold:
We wish to shape conditions so
that a greater number of small men
who are decent, industrious and
energetic shall be able to succeed
and so that the big men who are
dishonest shall not be allowed to
succeed at all.
The government must cooperate
with the farmer to make the farm
more productive.
We do not believe that there
should be inequality of right: and
therefore, we favor woman suffrage
We have more than enough to
supply every human being beneath
the flag. There ought not to be
in this republic a single day OF bad
business, single unemployed work
ingman, or single underfed child.
If this country is really to go for
ward along the path of social and
economic justice, there must be a
new party of nationwide and non
sectional principles.
Who knows the peoples needs as
we'll as the people themselves?
Wherever it is practicable we pro
pose to preserve competition, but
where under modern conditions com
petition has been eliminated and
cannot be successfully restored then
the government must step in and
itself supply the needed control on
behalf OF the people as whole.
We must try to make little bust
ness big and all business honest.
\ tariff high enough to give A
merican producers the American
market when they make honest
goods and sell at honest prices, but
low enough that when they sell dis
honest goods at dishonest prices
foreign competition can correct both
evils.
In Alaska the government has an
opportunity of starting in what is
almost a fresh field to work out
various problems by actual expert
ment. The government should at
once construct, own and operate the
railways in Alaska.
The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1912-10-17

1t is of utmost importance that on

listened to with much interest. This
committee. two by two, had canvassed
the whole congregation the past two
weeks, for sustaining funds and mis-.
sionary offerings, to be paid week by
week throughout the coming church
year, April /, 1912 to March 81, 1913.
A full report was not possible, but It
was most encouraging, many new sub
scriptions were secured, others were
either maintained at the old figure or
increased, with very few excep-
tions. Thirteen children had made
pledges and secured envelopes. The
promise for both funds this coming
year is far in excess of anything in
the history of the congregation. En-
couraging as were the reports last ev-
ening, those of another year will
doubtless be even better.

showed by the ladies of Keokuk who
have taken it upon themselves to see
that the city undergoes a thorough

The men held meeting last night
and today the advance plans were
made known. The enthusiasm shown
by the men is just as commendable
as that displayed by the women and
within the course of few days the
plans OF the men will have advanced
to a stage where the movement will
have an aspect OF real busting and
