ONLY LOGICAL PARTY
VOTERS MUST LOOK TO PROGRESS
+ slvEs FOR NATIONAL NEEDS.
Older Organizations Are Lacking In
Qualities Imperatively Demanded
by the Changing Times-Mod-
ernlsm Is the Issue.

There is little possibility of coalition
between Republicans and Progress
sives, which Frank A. Munsey rec
ommends as an escape from the diff
culties of tripartite system. The
Republican party came into existence
through great popular movement,
and ii continued its existence and
perpetuated its strength for more than
half a century by the wisdom Of its
leaders and the honesty of its purpose
in important issues. While 1t flour
ished the public amiably accepted
leadership which grew to be boss-ship;
quiescently accepted the domination
of the party by big interests on the
ground that thinly yelled corruption
was inherent in politics. The Repub-
lican party was no worse than the
Democratic party.
Then came change of temper OF
the people of the United States, at
least of great masses of them. They
grew interested in civic reforms, in
national reforms, in such matters as
sanitation, abolition of child labor,
PuiS lpou AS6l5latlohi q hhoi 7AahSSN
application of ethics in law and poll
tics, more direct government. Many
Republicans did not and do not sym
pathize with this new view, with hui
manitarianism in politics. Many Dem
ocrats do not sympathize with it.
The two old parties have their con-
genital problems and policies and
their inveterate hostile attitude to-
ward modernism In governmental af-
fairs. The Republicans as a party
are not progressive; neither are the
Democrats. Many men of both par
ties left them last year for party
and leader whom they believed to rep
resent the new theory of government,
to stand for humanitarianism in pol
itics. 1t is merely fortuitous that more
Republicans than Democrats left the
old alignment and contributed to the
forming of the new party. Had diff
ferent man than Governor Wilson
been nominated. the detection from
the Democratic ranks might have been
proportionate to the Republican de,
lection that formed the third party,
the progressive party. Historically
there is nothing either in the Repub-
lican or Democratic party that gave
the germ to the Progressive party.

There is no occasion to cast laurels
in advance at the feet of the man who
will doubtless adorn the office to
which he has been elevated by the
votes of the people. 1t is only i'm.
portant to recall the aphorism of
which he was fond in other times and
to which he doubtless still keys his
life and service. This quotation is from
a public speech of the president.

thirteen Not unIueky for Him.

DR.. hansen has good reason to re-
gard thirteen as lucky number. The
crew of the Fran, in which he made
the most successful OF his expeditions,
consisted of thirteen men, who all,
after an absence of three years, re-
turned to their homes In perfect safe
ty. DIR. Nansen arrived back in Nor
way on Aug, Is, 1896, and on the
same day the Fran emerged from her
long drift on the ice into the open
sea. Moreover, during the voyage, as
the doctor records, Kirk presented US
with thirteen pups, curious coinci-
dence-thirteen pups born on Dec.
10, 1893, for thirteen men,

MalorItlea Can ne noe Great.

The overwhelming majority in the
house of the present congress as we'll
as in the next house. gratifying as 1t
is in some respects, involves a mem
ace that it would be unwise for the
Democrats to ignore. Overwhelming
majorities usually mean overwhelming
demands upon the treasury that might
with wisdom be rejected-demands
that when granted usually compel re-
auctions where we can i'll afford them.

Platform Already Forgotten.

The platform adopted by the Demo
Gratis at Baltimore last summer con-
tanned this plank:
1--WE denounce the profligate waste
of money wrung from the people by
oppressive taxation through the lavish
appropriations of recent. Republican
congresses which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of
the peoples toll. We demand re-
turn to that simplicity and economy
which BELTS a Democratic govern
ment"
AS Representative Fitzgerald has
shown, the Democratic house has
made no attempt to live up to this
economical standard.

Better Give up Fish.

Some people are always prepared
for trouble which may not material
lie, like the man who carried a raw
egg wherever he went.
why must you always carry about

remedy for fishbone in the throat"

each colony, large or small, needs a
hive, and, of course, the small col
onies will not make much surplus
honey, and thus do not pay for their
homes. These rob of their queens
and put them with other colonies.
Each colony in the spring is worth
from 81 to $40, according to the
strength and breed. Each will throw
out one large swarm which will make
on an average rs pounds of surplus
honey, which sells at from 8 to 10
cents a pound. the expense being
about $3.50 for a hive and place to
store honey, etc. Now for the work
part: They have to be watched pa
tiently during the swarming season in
order ia keep the new swarms from
going away; then it is necessary to
go and hive them.
