ARE TIE PROCREsSIvES GAINING
GROUND?

Colonel Roosevelt. departing for
South America. sent to conference
OF his political licutcnants this mes
sage:
Our platform is the only platform
offered by amy party which gives a real
chance OF relief TO the people OF the
United states. We welcome any repre-
sentatives of any party who Will nc-
cept that platform and come with us,
bat they have got to accept 1T in its
entirety and como with us"
He expresses his belief that within
a short season the people of the United
States will insist on their representa-
tlves standing for the principles OF
the platform to which he invites all
other parties. illuminating it would
he if we knew whether the courage
that moves him is born of hope or
despair.
Does tho result in tho Third Maine
give good cheer TO the captain OF the
Progressive hosts? AT that congress
ional election the ProErcssivcs cast less
than half as many ballots as they reg
cans more than doubled their former
strength at the polls How can Mr..
Roosevelt construe this as indicative
of n substantial drift OF popular sonti-
ment toward his party?
The Progressive party may he gain
ing ground. but TO most political OBJ
servers it doth not so appear. There is
far more indication that there is re-
ccssion of the Progrcssives toward the
ancient fold.

Mrs. podsnap was positively insulted
and said, in a whisper which was so
loud that everybody in the room heard
it, that 1t was a reflection on her to
give Henry a travelling bag. indicating
thereby that his home life was not

The fall plague OF dust has fallen

the sun looks like goblin through

Of typhoid. but 1t is hard on tho health
and temper, and we might mako somo
efforts TO abate 1t without trusting too
long In probable showers tonight"
Tho merchants arc Interested in
doing away with tho dust. 1t ruins
delicate fabrics and fine goods in the
stores. Housewives. too. arc lament
ing about the labor 1t takes to keep
things clean. and how carpets and
curtains are injured. The automobiles
pays heavy penalty for tho fine sandy
stun that gets into his gears and
plays hob with intricate machinery.
Thousands OF folks are suffering from
dust colds" Just think OF what 1t

true that much Of the trouble is fun
damcntally due to poorly paved or I'M
paved streets. That can only be rem

the main travelled road OF the city.
Yesterday. It was inches deep in dust.
Automobiles kicked 1t UP, horses

to have little oil judiciously applied
on such show street. Or II oil Is in

R!chmonders arc very patient. They
do not expect everything. but they do
