Progressive Sincerity In Question.
Among strong arguments by the
Republican press of the state for amai-
gamation of Progressive and RepuDll-
can forces in this years campaign
looking 10 the election of Legislative
and county officers is that of the Put
nam Leader, one of the strongest OF
the weekly newspapers, which has the
following to say editorially:
1.-THE invitation of the Republican
State Committee to the progressive
State Committee Is step In the right
direction. Now 1t Is up TO those VINO
claim that they stand for more pro-
gressiye and honest faith than our
selves to meet that committee and
compare interests, and If there Is
1inaniYnity OF opinion on all those
questions now separating US, there is
but one course for our Progressive
frtends-unite with US in advancing
those interests.
THE time is at hand when the sim
cerity of Progressives must meet the
test If-and there can be no reason
to doubt it-tha Republicans are
ready to meet them In an honest at
tempt to reconcile all differences, II
they have the interest OF the aHalrs
of state at heart. then the cause Oh
separation no longer exists, ana there
is no reasonable ground for the con-
tinuation Of third party.
tsThe platform upon which Govern
or Hatfield was elected is one adopt
ed by Republicans and Prosressives
alike in the Huntington convention OF
1912. 1t is as much Progressive
platform as it is a Republican plat
form. More so if anything, as that
convention was two-thirds Progress
sives. Then 1t is up to the Progress
siyes to continue to support that plat
form or else to acknowledge that
what they condemn in the Republican
party is actual and extant in their
own ranks They can no longer con-
sistentIy claim that the Republicans
are not progressive, are not ready TO
unite with them in clean and hon
est desire to correct all wrongs and
adopt any method that will be honor
able in the PRONUNCIATION and uphold
ing of those principles which meet the
demand of the times for an honest
and popular government.
1.-The ProgTessives are as mIch
committed to the Huntington plat
form as are the Republicans. and cam
not honestly shirk their responsible
ty in furthering these principles or
striving to fulfill the promises therein
declared. We await with some de-
gree of curiosity the action OF the
Progressive State Committee.

near when he will come ont OF his

and practical method OF getting rid

In this connections reproduction or
the following paragraph from the
medical department of an insurance
journal is pertinent:

vey typhoid fever, diphtheria, tuber-
eulosis and dozens of other diseases,
possibly including pellagra. carried

We have been so persistenly adj
yised by medical authorities that the
fly is an extremely dangerous insect
inasnuch as he distributes disease
with a reckless disregard of the con-
sequences that the whole population
of the city ought to combine against
him and put him out of business be-
fore he has a chance to do much
harm.

Getting in Hot water.

Walter ii. Paige, American ambas-
sador to the court of st. James. is
talking too much, and may be re-
uuired to eat some of the things he
has said. Last night he made a
speech in London bearing on the
Panama canal and 1t is possible he
made some promises. Today Senator
Cham berIain introduced resolution
In the Senate calling upon the am
bassador to cough up just what he
said. There is nothing that will get
an ambassador so quickly into trouble
as a loose tongue. They are sup
posed to use their eyes and ears, and,
In fact, work them over time; but
their tongues are supposed to be used
