progressives to come backward into the
party which they denounced last year. and
which in turn denounced them. is not sup
ported by the public word or act Of any
recognized republican leader. So far as
the real republican leaders have COM
mented upon the proposition, they have
decried and disavowed it. 1t is obvious
that the republican party is not in SYM
pathy with and does not indorse the
conference of these self-appointed lead
ers or its acton.
80 far as the progressives are con-
cerned, there has never for a moment
been any possibility of a favorable re-
Spouse to such an invitation. The pro-
gressive party was formed last year upon
definite declaration of concrete prin-
ciples to which the republican party is
unaIterabiy opposed. The progress:ves
have never had and have not now the
slightest intention of abandoning those
principles. The republican leadership.
permanently reactionary, has not the
slightest intention Of subscribing to them
The union OF the two parties IS an idle
dream 1t is a waste Of time and energy
to give 1t consideration

Why You Should Contribute

The Emergency Hospital needs
money. 1t requires $500 600. Less
than 100000 will not suffice for an
institution worthy of the nations
capital or competent to fulfill the
demands of $4,000 potential pa

nor the place when accident may
happen. At any hour Of the day
you may be severely injured and

staff were shorthanded and the

With 100000 a model hospital
can be erected.
With 100000 all essential de-
vices and instruments can be in

With 100000 big enough wards
can be maintained.
With S3OOOCO a staff of physi-

Ing those presenting them the transfers
are not good. When holders OF the trans
fers, however, refuse to produce another
fare. the conductors. according to Mr..
Ltncoln's informants. do not put them off
the cars. and say they have orders not
to eject passengers who present herdic
transfers and refuse to pay another fare
Transfers Are Refused.
One day this week, Mr.. Lincoln stated.
six herdic passengers presented transfers
to conductors of New York avenue cars
The transfers were refused, but in each
case the person presenting the slip was
told that orders were that nobody should
be put off for refusing to pay another
fare.
The six persons referred to reported the
matter to Mr.. Lincoln, saying the con-
ductors gave them TO understand that
the orders were issued by President King
OF the Washington Railway and Electric
Company.
Herdic passengers who present trans
fers to conductors on the cars OF the
Capital Traction Company are still eject
ed from the cars IL they refuse to pay an
other fare. Mr.. Lincoln, speaking of the
different tactics employed by the two
street railway companies In the transfer
matter. said:
people would board the Capital Traction
cars and refuse to pay any other fare
than our transfers this company also
would be compelled to stop ejecting pas
sengers. A few can be intimidated, but
il would be too large an order for the
Capital Traction Company to eject hum

NO SYMPATHY IS SHOWN
TOWARD JO|N|NC.PART|ES
Progressives Call Union an
Idle Dream and a Waste
of Time and Energy.

1.-THE union Of the two parties is an idle
dream. 1t is a waste Of time and en-
ergy to give it consideration"
This is the closing sentence of a state
ment issued from the Washington head
quarters of the national progressive party
In this city. commenting upon the Chi
cago idea" of Senator Cummins and
others to bring about union Of the pro-
gressive party with the republican party.
The statement says, In part:
THE reforms these gentlemen now pro-
pose for adoption by the republican party
are not new. They themselves have pro-
posed the same reforms before. and the
republican leaders to whom the PROPOSE
ton was submitted scornfully rejected
them. What evidence or hope Is there
now that the republican leaders Of to-
day, who are the identical individuals
who before rebuffed these gentlemen. will
now admit their error and reform?
When these gentlemen were rebuffed
previously, men who believed with them
turned to the leadership that has since
crystalliged into the progressive party.
Under that leadership every one Of the
reforms that they then proposed has been
adopted and is now part Of the progress
siye party law. But these men who had
the opportunity to strike a telling. effec-
tual blow In behalf of the reforms in
which they professed to believe. hung
back. hindering rather than helping the
work, and now they have the iron eff
frontery to ask the progressive party to
abandon the reforms actually accom-
plished and turn backward and help them
In a renewed effort to enforce these same
reforms upon the unwilling republican
leaders who have already refused them.
They ask the progressives to give up
achieved success in order to undertake a
movement which experience has already
proved to be hopeless. What nonsense can
exceed that.
