m primitive times poems and literary
productions had to be memorized. But
more than 5000 years before the Chris.
tan era people in Abraham's native
town wrote receipts for garden and
market products just as we have them

Roosevelt Attends Conference
Of Pr0gressiVes Held at
PhiIadeI phid -.
fav Aesociated prA.. :,

PHILADELPHIA, March 13.-Urg-
ing the need OF thorough organization
for studying and seeing ideals on
which the platform of the progressive
party is based, former president
Roosevelt addressed a meeting of pro.
gressve at the conference in this city
The policies set forth in the national
platform of the progressives were dis
cussed today by members of the state
electoral college, who voted for Roose-
welt for president, and leaders Of the
Washington party, who conducted the
campaign for him and leaders in the
movement which has as it's aim the
perpetuation of the party.
1t was decided at the session that
the executive committee or the coun-
Gil OF the league be composed of the
electors and others selected by them.
"The progressive party was founded
primarily to render social and indus
trial service" said Roosevelt. Rot,
ten politics means rotten business, and
rotten conditions generally. The first
requisite in any movement for better
men must be honesty. We intend to
realize the new freedom for which the
country strives, by social research, in
which information is the keynote and
then by immediate translation of
knowledge thus acquired into action
by political organization in which SER
vice is the watchword"
