Lafayette Getting TO Be progressive.

The citizens of Lafayette, by
their vote. on the Good Roads tax
recently displayed a progressive
spirit. The same spirit should
exist in every town in Louisiana;
then the state would be able to
boast of something real; and not
imaginary as is often the case,
Let your town follow the ex-
ample of Lafayette and you too
will be proud that you live in a
progressive community.

go on the stage. She fell to initiating
the famous singing comedienne and
became very adept. Whenever Miss
Held visited Pittsburgh. Miss Sey-

Today her imitation Of Anna Held
is the most artistic thing she does,
and it has won her much praise from
reviewers, in fact Miss Held herself
has pronounced it the best imitation
of her ever attempted and it is with
the stars full approval that Miss Sey-
mour continues to use it.

ENTITLED TO POWER
Republican Party Stands for
American Prosperity.
Governor Foss Gives Good Reason for
His Return to the Fold-Orsani-
zation Practically Assured of
Power Very Shortly.

Eugene n. Foss, three times elected
governor of Massachusetts, as a Demo
crat, has returned to the Republican
ranks. Progressive as we'll as Repub-
lican leaders in congress expect to
see Theodore Roosevelt again a third
term candidate in 1916 and at the reg
ular Republican primaries.
Evidently both these ambitious gen
tlement. who have given such signal
proofs of their impatience with the Re
publican party. have found that when
all is said and done they cannot real
ly get anywhere or do anything with
out it.
Governor Foss put the situation sue
cinctly in his speech before the Essex
Republican club. He appeared on the
same platform with Congressman
Gardner and Colonel Benton. Repub-
lican candidates to succeed him, ad'
dressed his hearers as Fellow Repub
licans," and said:
The state and nation need the re-
turn of the Republican party to pow
o.. and the Republican party is justly
entitled to success, although its lead
eFS IN the past nave Deen ldllulesS "
the pledges of the party"
The reason why these ambitious
gentlemen, who in their impatience
and anger have departed from the
Republican party and sought to de-
stroy it, are now returning TO it lies
in the nature of the Republican party.
The Republican party is not merely
an organized appetite for the political
loaves and fishes, nor a fortuitous
combination of personal ambitions al
lied for mutual back-scratcning.
The Republican party is a body Of
political faith held with conviction
great business of government. It's
bones and flesh are quiet citizens who
care nothing for public office or hon
ors. but who believe in its principles
with faith that never fails.
These facts show how absurd is the
proposition to drop the name "Repub-
lican" merely because the party has
been defeated.
The Republican party will live on
because it stands for American pros
perity, the American opportunity and
common sense eff iciency in govern
ment, and because men who really
wish to do things in public life sooner
or later learn that only through the
Republican party can they get the
work done.

Rooscvcttism Not Wanted.

Mr.. Ormsby McHarg has shown that
he can change his political affiliations
so readily that he can be regarded as
free from bias. When he asserts, how
ever that the Republican party will
be reunited with Theodore Roosevelt
as its candidate, he fails to grasp the
true inwardness of Progressive vi
tality
II Theodore Roosevelt is the Re-
publican candidate in 1916 the Pro-
gressive party will be not dead, but
triumphant No longer ago than last
year the distinction was clearly drawn.
So long as there was a chance for the
nomination of Roosevelt by the Chi
cago convention the Republican party
was progressive enough for his sup
porters. 1t was when it rather strenu-
ously failed to nominate him that it
ceased to be progressive. If it should
nominate him In 916 it would resume
flor Roosevelt) the true odor of pro-
gressiveness.
