.The Progressive Movement"

We have received for review a copy
of book published by Small May
nard & Co, Boston, and entitled THE
Progressive Movement; Its Principles
and Its Programme" All that we
have read of it sounds SO recently ia
miiiar that 1t Is with little difficulty
we refrain from lengthy quotations.
The basic principles are alluring,

instead of men, some Of whom stand
recently convicted of base violations
of moral and civic codes. If every
man became q saint the moment he
swears allegiance To the new party,
fbe Bull Moose claims might be justi-

could safely forsaks the old parties to
accomplish their aim. But the con

The only thing lacking to complete
the modern Don Quixote atmosphere
which surrounds the whole affair is
spoiled by the denial that Sulzer has
been offered the Progressive nominal
tien for congress. In lieu of this, how
ever. he is hailed by some of his more
excitable partisans as the next presi-
dent AS a matter of fact, Sulzer in
one particular would be an ideal Bull
Moose candidate. Not that the Pro-
gressives seek out candidates who are
under cloud or that have been proved
guilty of violations of the law. Blu.
there is something picturesque and dis
tortedly dramatic in being the vic
tim" of a court proceeding which
seems to appeal irresistibly to the Bull
Moose imagination. 1t matters nothing
that any unbiased citizen would have
convicted SulZer on less testimony than
was offered against him. 1t matters
nothing that it is not of the slightest
consequence who brings charges, pro-
vided the charges are true. 1t mat
tiers nothing that usually it takes an
organization like Tammany to catch
a man like Sulzer. All these consider
atoms are airily waived by the Sui
zerites and in the absence of evidence
to vindicate the accused they fall BACK

subterfuge of denouncing courts and

Editorial Comment
The Sulzer Heroics.
(Kansas City Journal.)

The sloppy heroics in which William
Sulzer, the deposed governor of New
York, is indulging have at least the
negative merit of being expected. The
country was quite prepared for them
as soon as the high court of inipeaeh-
ment found him guilty and deprived
him of the Office for which he was
declared unfit. Little if any evidence
which would have been accepted as
exculpatory by the average man in an
ordinary case Of this sort was offered
in the governors behalf. He himself
refused to go upon the stand, and
now that he has been ousted, instead
of the widely heralded defense that
was 10 be made but which consisted
for the most part of shifting the
blame upon somebody else, apparently
all he has to offer to prove that he
has been a maligned and prosecuted
man is the perfervid denunciation OF
