The fact is that at the present mo-
ment more party work is being done
by the Progressive party than by both
of the old parties put together. For
example, Progressive party clubs are
being formed in many states. Over
5000 such clubs have been organized
during the present year. And this
work is being pushed into other states
as rapidly as they can be reached. 1t
is an understatement of the truth to
say that more Progressive party clubs
are now being formed than Republic
an and Democratic clubs put together.
AS department of our national COM
mittee we have progressive service
that is a new thing in party politics
and characteristic of the Progressive
party's purposes. This service is SOW
ing Progressive party literature and
spreading the Progressive party propa-
ganda throughout the nation.-Ex-Sen-
ator Albert J. Beveridge.

Improved Dieting Rules.

The rules for dieting i'm which the
Medical Congress has been so prolific
reminds a writer in the London Daily
Chronicle of Ruskin's method of ar
ranging his food supplies during his
Illness. He procured from his doctor
list of all the things that he must
not eat, took them all. and recovered.
He made it his rule TO eat whatever
his fancy suggested, and he lived to
be over eighty. The moral is obvious.
Never surrender to the stomach.
Bully it, Defy it, In an emergency
ask yourself What would be the
worst thing for me to eat?" Then eat

ACTION CALLED FOR
Democratic Congress Altogether
Too Slow.
With Complete Power, the Party Does
Not Seem to Have the Ability
to Serve the country's
Interests.

Everybody should know, and prob
ably President Wilson would confess,
that he has a better chance to secure
the enactment by congress of laws he
is convinced are needed than any man
who has occupied the White House
in years. His influence, not to call
1t power, over the senate and the
house of representatives has been
manifested in striking way more
than once since March 4.
President Wilson, when he sum
sion, proclaimed that 1t was for the
purpose of revising the tariff. AS the
people seemed to have signified their
wish that this should be done con-
gress, he believed, was bound to act
at once instead of waiting until the
regular session. And all the Demo,
cratic and some of the Republican SEN
ators and representatives heartily
agreed in this view.
Congress assembled on April and
has been in session continuously
ever since, wrestling with the tariff
question.
The Mckinley tariff bill was passed
In summer session on September 10,
1890; the Gorman-Wilsop bill. August
10, 1894; the Dingley bill. July "a.
1897; the Payne-Aldrich bill. August
5, 1909.
What is the matter with President
Wilson? What is the matter with
congress? And what about the cur
rency bill which was also to be
passed during the extra session.

Then there was the case of Tom.
who had served two short terms in
Sing Sing prior to 1889. Upon the
evening of the day of his second dis
charge from Sing Sing Tom, wander
ing down the Bowery, met two of his
friends, who invited him into one of
the saloons to have a drink. After
their third or fourth drink they were
placed under arrest by detectives from
headquarters, who charged them with
a robbery committed that very day.
His Innocence of No Avail.
Tom protested his innocence, saying
that he was not the man, that he had
only just come from Sing Sing. and in
fact did not have time to do job of
that kind. Despite his denials he was
locked up, for, unfortunately Toms
appearance tailed almost exactly with
the description of the missing third of
the three men who had done the rob
berry.
On the day of trial the other two
men pleaded guilty and received fif-
teen year sentences. at the same time
affirming that Tom had no part in the
robbery. Tom again protested bis in
nocence, saying that he had not com
mitted the crime, that he had done
nothing for which he should have been
arrested He declined to take plea
and decided to stand trial On his
record he was found guilty in short
order, and as he put the county to the
expense of trial he was sentenced
to twenty years in prison. He went
back to Sing Sing soured and sullen
and with desire in his heart to get
even with society for the wrong 1t
had done him and determination
that he would get even when he came
out.

N YEW YORK.-Following swift on
HNI the recent revolt of convicts in
AW Sing Sing, their defiance of war
den and keepers, their threats
general delivery has come an insis-
tent question:
is 1t possible to reform a convict
and make good citizen out of him?"
Take that same Sing Sing with its
army of men incarcerated for crimes
of almost every kind-burglars. high
waymen, habitual meier do wells, com
mon thieves, housebreakers, second
story men, pickpockets, bank robbers,
bigamists, bunco steerers, grafters of
every degree, accomplished swindlers
of every kind-take this mass of de-
PRAYED humanity-,is ii possible really
to effect reformation In more than
an occasional instance? Is it possible
to restore majority of these prison
ers to places of respect and responsi-
bility in the world of freedom?
Possibly a great majority of those
who asked the question knew that
certain religious organizations, vel
fare societies and other charitable
agencies have long asserted that they
actually can, and do. succeed in re-
forming criminals, men and women of
the most hardened types; that they re-
store them to their families and see
them become members of society
respected trusted, and sometimes hon
ored. But the average man is apt to
be somewhat skeptical of such state
ments. What he asks for is plain.
definite. convincing, indisputable facts.
No Doubt of Rescues.
Those who ask the question and de.
man proof are, for the most part,
practical, level-headed men of affairs.
In order to ascertain whether defin-
| lite, incontrovertible answer to their
doubts can be obtained inquiry has
been made of agencies and individuals
who have much to do with convicts
discharged from prisons and peniten
tiaries. In each instance the attitude
of those questioned was one of sur.
prise that at this day there should
be any doubt regarding the absolute
reformation of former convicts.
One thing that will strike the in
quirer who goes carefully through the
records is the fact that while hun
dreds of former convicts are today
successful in business undertakings
and in trades, large proportion seek
not to engage in money making occu
patton but to go into rescue work
themselves. Missions of every kind

In brief, the commission held that
the present rail and lake class rates to

able, and that the existing scale Of

Duluth was unduly discriminatory as
compared with rates to Chicago.
1t was ordered that the first class

not exceed 62 cents a 100 pounds, and
that the rates from trunk line terri

not exceed those to Chicago.
