The Michigan Middle and the Pro-
gressives.

The Progressive party is planning to
make its entrance into the politics of
the extra session of Congress a pretty
| lively one. if present indications do
not mislead As soon as the next
House is called to order by Speaker
Clark they mean TO start their fight
for the unseating of Representative H.
DIN Young, of Michigan, on the claim
that he holds the Office that belongs
rightfully to William J. Macdonald, of
Calumet, Mich.
This case may be destined to become
celebrated one The national Pro-
gressive party of Michigan originally
nominated in the Twelfth Congress
sional District Joseph NJ. Rogers as
their candidate for the last election
He declined the honor and in his place
Mr.. Macdonald was named Accord

Macdonald without the "a").

of the State committee sent a telegram
to each county clerk, Congressman
Twelfth District should be spelled
William J. Macdonald That was
the way the message read when it
was received in thirteen counties. But,
according to the clerk of Ontonagon
County, who knew Macdonald well,
the telegraph operator had made the
mistake of inserting the name "Shel-
don" before the William J." of Mac
Donald's name. And so MacDonalds
name appeared on the ballot of On
tonagon County.
Macdonald, the. Progressive candi-
date, led Young, the Republican cam

considered settled But few DAYS
later while attending the Bull Moose

The ex-President Attitude.

There is something more or less in
explicable to the fair-rninded person in
the attitude often assumed by certain
classes of our community toward the
incumbent of the great office of our
Chief Magistrate, once he steps down
from the pedestal of the White House
10 the comparative obscurity of a less
exalted position. Like 'the absent
in the French proverb, the more or less
famed duck is always wrong" it ex-
acts every atom of mans faith in
humanity to pass undisturbed through
the ordeal of finding out that the hon.
age paid him by certain class of pro-
fessional courtiers was due, not to his
own individuality, but to the power he
temporarily exercised.
That the ex-of'-:al should be pre-
pared for mere. attitude on
the part of a certain section of the
general public is only natural, but
when it comes to open disparagement,
or even insult, it would seem to be
quite time, in the interests of Justice
and fair play, to enter a protest.
Ex-President Taft exercised the
gentle art of making friends to a de-
gree that may render him exempt from
the censure and ridicule that have been
visited on his immediate predecessor,

ECONOM 7
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of cat Good Old siwasA."

Economy is the art of stretching dol
lars and magnifying pennies.
without economy dollar will only
buy a proud nod from waiter or a
ten-minute rest in taXcab. With the
help of economy dollar will buy a
weeks board for one or a years street
car fare, or ten years neckties.
Economy can stretch out dollar SO
thin that you can see through the eagle.
It will then BE- 50 extensive that 1t will
take it's owner a week to spend 1t.
When a man has achieved true econ
omy it takes him so long to spend a
dollar that he has earned five more in
the meantime, and has. lost all hopes of
catching up.
Many a man who has several thou
sand dollars waiting patiently to be
spent, is putting his whole soul into an
EFFORT to get one more coffee berry or
three more prunes for a nickle. The re-
suit is he usually dies with most of his
dollars still hanging around the prem
Uses.
Such men are regarded with great pity
by the young man who has just gotten
his next weeks supply Of dollars from
the boss and is riotously blowing them
i'm on a new necktie, two theater tickets
and a rubber-tired cab.
Economy keeps a man wearing last
winters overcoat permanently and sift-
ing coal out of the ashes for amusement.
But when regarded as game 1t is
great fun. No one is happier than the
man who has herded a thousand dollars
through the year and has let only 500
OF them escape.
Economy is the cause Of most of our
millionaires and the salvation of most
OF our niarriates. Economy is the back

disparagement or caricature. One of
the forms that this spirit of disrespect
takes is cheap witicism in a certain or

The Seventeenth Amendment.

1t is coming, sweeping its way to-
ward approval through the States, and
before long the seventeenth amendment
TO the Constitution of the United
States will be enrolled
No more progressive movement has
been undertaken in these latter days OF
progression and advancement of the
rights of the people-the election OF
United States Senators by the people,
by majority rule in the States, and
not by cliques and cabals in State Leg
islatures.
No more the deadlock, no more the
Jackpot" no more the purchase of
sufficient votes to secure election.
No candidate can bride MS way into
the United States Senate when all the
people have their say. The fact that
a Senator bears the certificate of cleo
ton under the vote of the people will
be prima facie evidence that he was
honorably elected and entitled to his
seat III the Upper House.
Tennessee ratified the amendment on
Tuesday, Pennsylvania gave its ap-
proval yesterday, and Connecticut
promises certain action two weeks
hence, and if it does the Wooden
Nutmeg State" will write the amend
ment in the Constitution.
The handwriting has been on the
wall these many years; it has been
earnestly hoped for by honest men for
many decades-a chance for the people
to elect, regardless of pull, of wealth,
or bosses. The people are coming to
their own in the good year, 1913.
1t is slow work amending the Con-
stitution, with its immense big seal,
yet twice within the year 1913 amend
ments will be enrolled, the sixteenth
amendment or income tax authority to
Congress is OH the document, the cleo
ton of Senators by popular vote is
in sight, and it will be the long-lookcd-
for seventeenth.

N-REAL AND NEAR
By FRED c. KELLY

Vice President Marshall has his sys-

that it is bad luck to leave building ex'

when he became Governor of Indiana
Marshall happened to so into the capl,oi

Muckraker in Everybody's.

The persistent attacks upon the
Reclamation Service, of which the
leading story in the current issue of
Everybody's Magazine is. the latest lex
ample, are SO full of misrepresenta-
tons of the grossest nature that they
may reasonably be ascribed to persons
whose private interests clash with
those of the general public The Rec
lamation Service is better employed in
sticking to its own big job than in
answering such attacks.
AS to the Roosevelt Dam and the
Salt River Valley, the water users
would, of course, be better off if the
works cost 100000. than if they
have TO pay 100000. but judging
from Arizona publications it seems
that the people down there arc pretty
well satisfied that they have nice
little valley with water costing about
onc-hfteenth as much as a good deal
of irrigating water in California and
land values up i'll some cases matter
of 1000 per cent.
Information from the columns of
the Arizona Republican would indicate
that the author of the story in Every
body's is not highly thought of in those
parts, and we believe that paper to be
not only good representative of pub
lie opinion in Arizona, but also not
inclined to slop over with, friendliness
to the Reclamation Service.
