The Colonel seems to be com.
ing back, too; he has just recon-
mended the New York Progress
ives to support Hinman, Repub'
lican, for governor at the New
York primaries. This has caused
q flutter in the Progressive par
ty, bat the Colonel clearly indi
Gates that his party cannot hope
to elect a governor in New York
and that purer government can
not accrue there by merely
splitting the Republican party
to make an opportunity for the
DEMOCRATS under the leadership
of the corrupt Boss Murphy
BY uniting on Hinman, the Col
onel says, bossism can be struck
more effectively than it could be
by nominating a Progressive can
didate for governor in New York
If the Colonel ever had his eyes
closed to what the division he
brought about in the Republican
party really meant he is getting
them open now.

Practice What Preach.

If some of the business enter.
prises of this county and COM
munity had to depend on some
of the large city printing estab-
lishments for patronage, they
would go broke in less than six
months. But they continue to
send to these concerns for their
printing.
Some silver -tongct1 salesman
comes around, and Lecause he
wears a higher collar than the
home printer wears, the brsi
ness men listen to his song until
he gets theii. orders. Is that
right? No; no more so than it
would be for US to send to Roers
& Searbuck to buy our clothing,
or to an out of town bank to bor-
row money.
Many of our local business
men preach home patronage and
they do not believe in it any
more than a whiskey drummer
believs in prohibition. If they
did, they would politely inform
the salesman for the city print
house that the home man was
trying to earn his daily bread in
the printing business and they
would practice what they
preached by letting him do their
printing. You have no kick
coming, Mr.. Businessman and
Mr.: Banker, unless you practice
what you preach.
Now, if you believe in what
you preach, and have as much
brains as the Almighty usually
allots to a man of your size,
kindly look into this matter from
a business point of view, and we
are sure your next job of print
ing will be done by your home
printer.-Exchange,

publicans enslave the American
people and fatten themselves up
on the emblematical bird of lib
erty, and a lot more of just such
piffle. If the people are capable
OF being deluded by this kind OF
talk and keeping the Democratic
party in power, then they are
getting no more than is due
them from the present hard
times and it would be waste of
sympathy to bewail their condi-
ton. We assume from the tone
Democratic argument on this
point that these rascally busi-
ness interests are the predatory
trusts and Wall Street money
com bine, but as long as we see
the President insistent in nam
ing such worthless as Mr.. Jones
of the Harvester Trust, one Of
the worst of all the "bld" trusts,
as member of the Federal
Bank Reserve Board, and Mr..
Morgan, head of the Wall Street
money combine, calling at the
White House at the Presidents
invitation to discuss the best
means of improving the selfsame
conditions through which /. e and
his ilk are said to be conspiring
to bring the Democratic party
to ruin, why, we are not overly
impressed that the present ad-
ministration is in the least danger
from the Vaccinations of these
men and their business associ-
ates. President Wilson's admin
istration stands discredited not
from the underhand operations
of vicious business, but because
the Democratic party has again
failed in its theories of political
economy; it has decredited itself
by a lack of competence and ef-
ficiency, which it also lacks the
courage to admit.

About the most peurile policy

A Vanishing Party.

In North Dakota the Progress
sizes failed to nominate a State
ticket because 1t had fallen short
of the mum Der of votes necessary
to secure a place on the official
ballot. To nominate a candidate,
it is necessary, under the law,
that a party must have at least
rs per cent of the vote cast for
it's candidate at the last previous
election, and the North Dakota
Progressives could get only 2, 430
votes. So they were ruled out.
In Minnesota, which went for
Roosevelt in 1912, the Progress.
sives face a similar danger. Min
nesota has q law like that of
North Dakota, only that the re-
quirement is 10 per cent instead
of 25 per cent. They cast only
2,874 votes in the primary, which
is less than 10 per cent of the a.
455 votes they cast for their gu
bernatorial candidate in 1912. In
that year they cast 125, 1856 votes
for Roosevelt. The State Can
vassing Board, IN ignorance of
the law, placed the Progressive
nominees upon the ballot.
The Progressives have just
awakened to the situation and to
the TACT that even if their nomi-
nees stay on the ballot they must
cast 8 per cent of the total vote
of the State in order to retain
the right to nominate candidates.
This means that they must get
from $1,000 to $4,000 votes, and
that they are doing some lively
scrambling to get them, with
every prospect that they will fail.
There is an understanding be-
tween the Progressives and the
Republicans that they will not
fight each other very hard, the
Republican candidate being en-
tirely satisfactory to the Pro
gressives, and for that reason
they nominated their ticket only
to preserve their party standing.
It now seems that they are in
danger of losing it altogether.
They are trying to get the neces
sary mum ber of votes for Halbert,
their candidate, but as he has al
ready indicated his satisfaction
with Lee. the Republican nomi.
