PROGRESSIVES WILL
 SUPPORT PRESIDENT

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Definite announcement of the plan of certain Progressive Republicans in the House to support President Wilson's admin istration in the accomplishment of progressive policies" was made to- day. Representative Kent, of Cali fornia, Lenroot, of Wisconsin, Ander- son, of Minnesota and Hegleson of North Dakota, announced that they would support measures proposed by the Wilson administration so long as they considered them progressive.
 Representative Kent, of California, supported James R. Mann, for speak CT but did so pro lorna to protect his party standing. He said that he will support the administration meas. ures.
 q can see no good to be accom- plished at this time by third-party- lineup in the House" said Represen- tatlVe henJ. IEeSlucHL NIiSOh hhS brought assurances of his intent to realize, so far as may be, those pro- gressive ideals which, are held by all open.minded and forward looking men. To my mind, our best services can be rendered by aiding him and those with him toward securing the Legislation which we desire and for which we have worked in the past"
 q regard it as very unfortunate that there should be any division among Progressives in the House at this time," said Representative Len' root in a statement concurred in by Representative Anderson. Tt may be good psrsonal politics for third party progressives and for some men who were elected as Republican Progress ives and to take such a position at this time, but there is no statesman ship about it. As far as can now be forseen, progressives of all political parties will be called upon to assist and cooperate with President Wilson in his progressive policies, and new complications relating only to party politics can only injure the progress i've cause"

ENGLISH STATESMAN
 AGAINST BIG NAVIES

LoNDoN.-"I am convinced that this is the only way to terminate one of the most stupid and unnatur- al chapters in the history of Europ- can civilization" declared First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill in the House of Commons today after sug- gesting that the nations of the world stop building warships for year.
 Tn this way" he continued, "the people of the world would obtain an almost instantaneous mitigation of the thraldom in which they have been in- volved by the evil and insensate folly of the present acute rivalry in arma- ments. Scores of millions are being sQuandered year after year without making any difference in the relative naval strength of the nations. My pro- posal would involve no alteration in the relative strength of the worlds navies.
 We address this proposai 10 all nations and to no nation with more profound sincereity than to our great neighbor of the North Sea-"
 Mir Churchill closed with a grace. full recognition of the sensible i'm provement that had taken place in AnpIo.German relations.
 Afterward in a speech Mir. Church ill proposed, specifically, that Ger many and Great Britain agree to can eel their programmes of construction for 1914, remarking that "The in fluence of such an agreement would be priceless and measureless in Giv' ing international scope to an arrange ment for preventing wasteful, pur poseless and futile folly"

ELECTION OF LEWIS
 PLEASES NEW YORK

The election of James Hamilton Lewis and Lawrence Y. sherman as United States senators from Illinois ends creditably a deadlock which in the circumstances might have produc- ed another Lorimer scandal Lewis is a Democrat and Sherman is Re- publican. They were necessarily chosen by fusion of Democrats and Republicans, for neither party had a majority in the legislature. Both had some sort of claim to election as in the soap-box primaries of their respective parties they were the choice of the people.
 Legislative conditions in Illinois which made the Lorimer purchase possible have on several occasions resulted in honorable compromises of this kind. Lyman Trumball, David Davis and John NJ. Palmer came to the United States Senate by negotia- tion and coalition. With this contest out of the way and direct elections of United States senators soon to be pro- vided for, the end of one great source of corruption seems finally to have been reached.
 The Senate of the sixty-third Con- gress, now complete, stands political ly: Democrats, 51; Republicans, 45.- New York World.

SEWARD PAPER SAYS
 LANE FOR PRESIDENT

We like the ring of that message from Secretary Lane to President Ray of the senate. It means that Alaskans who live in Alaska through choice will be named to fill federal positions in Alaska. It means more than this it means that Alaska in all things. is to be given a square deal by the Wilson administration. It means that our coal fields are to be opened to development; that the government will build railway systems. We like that man Lane. He's a big fellow mentally and physically. He'll sit in the presidents chair before he quits public life.-Seward Gateway.

DYNAMITE INJURIES
 NATIVE FISHERMEN

VALDEZ, April 6.--The Donaldson returned to Valdez last night after going to Golden, where they picked up the five natives who were hurt last Tuesday when a. number of caps exploded in a small boat when they were fishing with powder for herring.
 The natives are all boys, the oldest not over 24 years and the youngest about ten. The boy is not injured very seriously, while the oldest. who had the cap in his hand when it ex- ploded, lost four fingers and has his thumb hanging by thread. Two of them will lose an eye apiece, and one has been injured in the abdomen.
 The accident happened just across the bay from Golden, when the five were out fishing. Having found box of caps they determined to catch a mess of fish quickly. While watch ing the fish they forgot that the fuse was nearly burned out, and 1t went off in the hand of one of the natives.
 The news was brought to Ellamar by native in bidarh
 The boys were placed in the his pital by Col. O'Nei and they are now under the care of Dr. von Schrader who, with Lieut.. Kunzig, and four hos pital stewards left as soon as the ac cident was reported by Supt Middle camp by wireless from the Yukon and thence by cable to Valdez.
 The natives had no care from the time of the accident until the arrival of the Donaldson yesterday morning but are now resting easy and will be brought to Valdez today and placed in the local hospital.

THE SENTIMENT

If the laws Of the state have been
ignored in the matter Of purchasing
supplies for the prison and other
state institutions then the legislature
should either repeal these laws or
pass such further legislation that
will compel the observation OF the
law by every public official. Ari-
zona does nat need any officials that
are above the plain written law.
The above shows how one of our
Democratic exchanges feels over the
prison scandel.
We have plenty of laws on the
subject and they are plain and easily
understood. If any official has vlo'
lated them he should be dealt with
accordingly. no matter what office
he holds. The Democratic part,
cannot afford to stand sponsor foi
crooked officials,

LOVE IS A DREAM
written for TnE GuARprAN.l

i VI N-~r--'~--''''
One stanza each inscribed to my three
nieces, Annie Drue, Winona and Lucy
Antoinetta Stephen.
If this is love-:
To stand and feel as if in trance,
From loving eyes whose piercing glance,
Can thrill the soul with fire Divine,
And with her soul your heart entwine;
Filling the ardent heart with love
As mama falling from Heaven above;
And feas. the mind with visions bright;
Dispelling dark and dreary night
Back to the shades of empty space,
And from the spirit chase,
Perchance I've felt the thrill.
If this is love:--
When cupid with his bow full strung
Has sent the quiv ring shaft and stung
The wounded heart and made it smart,
At the keenness of this piercing dart;
And set its sweetest song afiOat,
With Joy Divine in every note
And love replete in every word;
Warbling as wooing bird
Its melody in tuneful lays
| Of lovely songs in themes of praise,
Mayhap I've felt the sting.
If this is love:
To calmly wait through weary years
With patience midst all doubts and fears
For one sweet longing loving look,
When hope had fled and the heart for
| sock,
Bled forth through ev'ry crimson vein
While all of life was filled with pain,
OF longings yet unsatisfied;
AS boundless as old oceans tide:-
Then have felt the wound.

A RETREAT TO VICTORY

Bv Rev. 4. b. Gregory in the Los
Angeles Examiner.
The last lap in General Nathaniel
Green's famous retreat" was made
one hundred and thirty-two years
ago February 20, 1881.
The year 1880 is well called the
year of disaster" 1t was a time
full of gloom for all who loved the
patriot cause. The shadow of the
terrible affair at Camden seemed to
reach all over the Colonies. 1t looked
as though the whole South was
gone, and with the South conquered,
and the Hudson in possession OF the
enemy, thus enabling him to isolate
New England from the Middle
States. the cause seemed forlorn in
deed.
Still brave and hopeful, notwith-
standing the disaster brought on BY
the incompetency Of Gates OF Cam
den, Morgan and his compatriots
dealt the British staggering blow
at Kings Mountain, and, latter on,
another at the Cowpens, and ha
year 1871 opened with happy auguries
for the cause of liberty.
But CORVALLIS was still holding
on to the South, and Greene con-
ceived the idea that if he could draw
the British general far enough t.
the north he might be able to com
pell him to. give battle under disad
vantageoas circumstances and at
great distance from his base Of
operations. Accordingly. near the
end of January Greene pulled ou1
from his camp on the Pedee anC
started out on his trick of leading
Cornwalis northward across tn,
Carolinas. Falling into Greene''
trap, CORVALLIS took after him, try
! ing, but always without success, t,
draw the American into battle.
On the 9th of February Greene
reached Guilford Court House, kortl
Carolina, but his expected reinforce
ment not being up, he continuet
the game of "retreating" until tht
l4th of March. when he pulled vi
again at Euilford Court House re
solved to give Cornwallis battle
The fight came off next day, ane
while II was tsctieally A defeat fol

IauaHdapy. T9 transport his army
by sea to Charleston ard begin al
his work over again would be 4 con

that, SO he resolved to march intt

/ After following CORVALLIS fol
fifty or sisty miles, Greene turned
back to begin work Of fcdeemins

kept on toward Yorktown, where HI
