Lord KnOllys was much more than a
private secretary-he was King Edward S
closest and most intimate friend. and
it has been said of them that their re-

friends. who had marched through life
together. separated by rank. but united
by the close bonds Of the sincerest af-

Before he became private secretary

The Eaiser's attack on the tenant who

The Progressives' Chance in the House.

The House OF Representatives, al
most for the first time in its history,
when it convenes next month in extra
session, will number among its men,
bcrs third party of sufficient strength
to make itself felt.
True, there was a third party which,
sat alone" during the last session, in
the person of Victor Berger. the single
representative of half a million So
cialist voters, but what could he do
but hear the others talk. But with the
Progressive Republicans, whose or
ganization is under the able leadership
OF Victor Murdock, of Kansas, the
case is altogether different. For here
we face a third (minority) party
which will have to be reckoned with
seriously; that is, if it grasps its rop-
portunity.
When the last November election
returns were made public, political
prophets figured it out that the Pro-
grcssives in the next Congress would
number sixteen to eighteen. Now it
is conceded that there will be forty of
them in the House At any rate there
certainly will not be fewer than thirty,
and before the extra session will be
over this number may increase to
forty. This. of course, depends alto
gether upon the policy of the admins
tration. If the Progrcssivcs gain it
will be so much the worse for the
Democrats, who will have TO face an
other opposition besides the harassing
one engineered by Mr.. Mann, the
standpat Republican floor leader.
Still, while numbers count, they may
avail the Progressives little or moth
ing, unless they marshal forth issues
to fight for, and principles by which to
judge them. AS one political writer in
this city puts it truthfully and concise
ly: Herein lies the greatest danger
of the Progressives, but also their
greatest strength" Some think that
they are not capable of maintaining an
organization worth anything for prac-
teal purposes. But others hold that
by acting in harmony with Col Roose-
welt, the Progressives will present a
programme of legislation which will
be non-Republican, conference.-the. but
just distinctly progressive (whatever
that may be-.
As matter of fact, the only hope of
the Progressives is to be altogether
different from the rest of the poll
ticians, and in a manner that will
be constructive and positive, for it is
illogical to hold that progressivism is
a middle-of-the-road position.
