O'Clock tins morning the destroyer was
northeast Of Schiermonnik, not far from
the Estuary OF the Films.
Observers on the island heard a sud-

arose from under the bows of the de-
stroyer. The boat keeled over and dis
appeared In three minutes. The peri

Their nationality could not be ascer-
tanned but they probably were German.

OF the measure taken yesterday and

Much OF the morning session was
wine tax, but no further action was
taken, the matter to be taken up again
later. The caucus thus far has APP
proved the rates recommended by the
committee, 20 cents a gallon en- sweet
wines and cents on dry wines
This will yield approximately ST.

amendment provides for q graduated

SPOKE At WASHBuRN
Grant Harrington Addresses the Col
lege Political science Club.

The Washburn Political Science club
held its regular meeting in the college
chapel last night. The club meets
every two weeks, and invites some
man prominent In political affairs to
address the club. Last year the club
was addressed by Governor George H.
Hodges. ex-Congressman Fred Jack
SON. Roy l. Bone. Arthur Capper and
others. The speaker last night was
Grant w. Harrington. private secre-
tary to Governor Hodges. His subject
was Progressive Democracy"
In part Mr.. Harrington said, Govern
ment is by parties. The individual can
not get any where alone. There have
always been two issues on which po-
litical parties differ. There IL the party
which believes that government should
come from the top. This was the Alex
ander Hamilton theory Of government.
Take care Of the man at the top. and
some how by the goodness of God his
benefits will trickle down on the masses
beneath Opposed to this is the JEFF
fersonfan theory. which 10 based on the
principle that the mass Of people are
fitted to govern themselves, and should
be allowed to do SO.
In Washington's time there was prop
erty qualification for suffrage. Then
came Jefferson. who brought the gov
trnment nearer the people. This was
the first great victory for Progressive
Democracy" A generation went by.
and the national bank monopoly threat
ened. Fortunately we had Andrew
jackson in the PRESIDENTS chair. and
he put the monopoly out of business.
That was the second triumph for PRO
gressive Democracy"
Then the slave oligarchy reared its
head. Lincoln was the man who an
swered the call Of Progressive Democ-
racy" at that time. The great indict-
ment he brought against the Demo-
cratic party of that da7 was that it had
forsaken the principles OF jefferson,
and adopted those Of Alexander Hamil-
ton. leaving those OF Jefferson to him.
The wiping out of the slave oligarchy
was the third triumph for Progressive
DEMOCRACY"
And now another generation has
gone by. and we are facing new
problem. that of distribution. For so
years we have been saying to capital.
Tell us what you want. Wen give 1t
to you until conditions have grown
up in this country that call for a rem
edy. Fifty per cent Of the wealth of
this nation IL held by one per cent of
the people. Our problem IL one of
Distribution"
