AUTO NEARLY
HIT BY TRAIN
Machine Stalled on Track
Breaks Gates.

An automobile carrying q New
York license, and owned by William
Isaac, of Union Square, Manhattan,
had a narrow escape from being
struck by a train of the Staten Island
Rapid Transit at the Amboy avenue
crossing at Pleasant Plains, at 2:34
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The
train, in charge of Conductor Will
liam O'Conner and Engineer Melville
Lowell, both of Tottenville, was with
in three hundred yards of the ross
ing when the machine, which was a
forty horsepower touring car, came
racing up the avenue, it is said, and
got between the railroad gates at the
station crossing.
Mr.. Isaac reversed his motor and
backed through the gates Just In
time. One side of the gates were
smashed and put out of commission.
No blame is attached to the fiagmau
and gatetender, Charles Valentine,
who sounded his bell at the approach
Of the train and lowered the gates in
the usual manner, but, 1T is said by
eye witnesses. that Isaacs either did
not hear the bell or thought that he
had time enough to go owe the
crossing ahead Of the train. The
automobile was not damaged.

The Quickest, 5ir-p.cst
Cough Curo
Easily and Cheapiy Made at
Home. Saves You G..

This recipe makes a pint of cough
syrup-enough to last a family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obs.i-
nate cough in "a hours. This is partly
due to the fact that it is slightly laxa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent rem
edy, too, for whooping cough, Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
y pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2h ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in q pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one Of the Oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in Guaiacol and
all the other natnla al healing elements.
Other preparations will not work in this
formula.
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
initiated often, but never successfully.
A guaranty OF absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, poes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Piuex, or will
get it for YOU. If not, send to The
Pinex Co., Fit. Wayne, Ind.

lican party-clean 1t. Remember
ing their own experiences, the Pro-
gressives are sure he cannot do Il.
To illustrate. Would the Repub-
lican party today be clean and free
from faint had the progressive ele-
ment OF the party succeeded in nom
mating Theodore Roosevelt? De-
cidedly not. 1t would have been the
same old party, with the same old
ring and with the same continual
factional fghts-the progressives
winning occasionally, but with the
stand patters gaining their point in
the long run.
Is the Democratic party today
clean and free from faint because
the reactionaries of that party,
warned by the fate of Republican
ringsters at Chicago, beat a tenn
porary retreat and permitted the
progressive element to hold the
reins for a while? Not a bit. The
same old gang is still in the crew.
The Republican progressives did
the only thing possible in leaving
the G. o. p. and setting up a new
standard for themselves. The Dem
ocratic progressives in the city and
county are coming over in large
numbers. Eventually, when some
definite national issue shows the
progressive element in the Demo-
cratic party the hopelessness of
fighting within themselves, they like
the G.. o. p. progressives, will
leave the carcass of the old party to
rot in its filth and-then the Ma
tional Progressive party will come
into its own.
The ~Progressives are standing by
men of both parties, who are trying
to do right and give the people the
service they were elected to per-
form. Witness the support already
assured Mr.. Wilson by Progressives
of national influence. so long as he
stands for progressive movements
and has a fighting chance of putting
them through. But simply because
they are doing this is no sign that
they are going over to the Demo
Gratis. The fact that the local Pre-
gressives have assured Mayor Gar
retson of similar support shows their
willingness to look beyond the mere
fact that the Mayor happens to be a
Republican. 1t only demonstrates
the sincerity of the Progressives.
Throughout it all they will remain
~Progressives and fight as Progress

sives-no compromise, no get to-
gether." The Progressive vote can
not be battered.
At the next election the Progress
siyes will have a complete ticket in
the field-upright, honest men, who
will pledge allegiance to the Pro
gressive party and its principles, go
before the people as P~rogressives
and take office as Progressives.
This movement cannot be stopped.
II means work-hard and earnest
work-and It may also mean enc
mics, Already the P~rogressives are
feeling the pressure. All the old
between elections arguments are
being used. One hears the argu-
ment, come on, now, don't rub It
in. Casey's a good fellow-what'd
he eve do to you?" The Tingsters
seem to overlook entirely the fact
that principles and not men are in
volved. Casey may be a good fellow
and all that, but he's in bad COM
pany. Casey must throw away his
dirty Republican and Democratic
linen. take a bath In honest political
principles and then put on clean
Progressive clothes.
In the meantime the Perth Am
hoy ~Progressives will continue as
they have begun. They will not
swerve from the high mark they
have set. They will silence the
invariable question: What graft
are you fellows after?" and finally
the politically biased partisans viii
realize that such a thing can be as
men who will work for good govern
ment and clean politics without
thought of personal remuneration or
gain.

PUBLIC OPINION

EDITOR EVENING NEWS:
AS a member and worker in the
Progressive party | have been
greatly interested in the letters pub
lished in the EVENING NEWS of
late from Joseph Clark, Frank R.
Newman, Herbert ellis. F. c. C.
Schmid, F. W. Pugsley and others.
Let there be more of them. These
letters show an unmistakable trend
of public opinion in the way OF
better government and cleaner pol
itics. They also indicate that the
Progressive party is a fixed institu.
ton in the way of shaping events
in this line. That IL has come to
stay and must be reckoned with.
We hear some predict the event
ual demise and breaking up of the
Progressive party. This sentiment
comes mostly from u Republican
friends, who are making many I'M
successful attempts to show the
Progressives the "error of their
ways" We have some on our
membership roll at present. They
belong to two parties and ppar-
emily get away with it." Watch
them and listen. You will get more
enjoyment out of it than they do.
On the other hand the argument
is used that a true Progressive
should be a Democrat and a sup
porter of Woodrow Wilson. Mr..
Wilson is a good mar and his aims
and ideals r worthy ones. The
trouble Is we can't take Mr.. VIII
son without taking over the corrupt
Democratic ring which cannot be
shaken from his following. It will
not do at this early stage to as
sumo that Wilson's administration
is a wonder 'ul success and that the
shouting is-tall over. Far from it.
He hasn't even taken office yet.
Four years ago today Mr.. Taft, a
man OF lofty purpose and with year
of political experience, was about
to take office under the most favora-
Bile circumstances imaginable. In
spite of 1t all he was a failure. Mr..
Wilson may do as badly. He may
do better (let IS hope he does), or
he may do worse. He Is trying hard
to do to the Democratic party what
Roosevelt couldn't do to the Repub-
