a party are just as they should be. then l can only say, you are easily satisfied
 History teaches us that the average life term of q political party is about thirty years and that any party which has survived for longer period. has outliVed it's usefulness; therefore. both the old parties should have been buried long ago
 We are bound to have two live parties in this country. We have one. the progressive. There will no doubt in the near future be another--a con- servative or reactionary party organ lzed. The progressive party is second as to numbers at this time. It is made up of men and women who in tend to fight within it's ranks until it becomes the ruling party Of the na- tiOn. We may reach the goal in 1916. or it may be four years later-it mat ters not to us so far as our political principles are concerned. although we would like to see our theories of gov ernment thoroughly tried out, and as as soon as possible; we shall never theless continue the fight until we win a nation wide victory.
 We progressiVes believe We are ab- solutely right in our ideas and i theories of government; in fact, many of our principles have been tested and found absolutely correct. Pro gressivism has become so popular that candidates for office, irrespective of party, are advertising their individual progressivism as one of the princi- pal reasons why they should receive i the support of the average voter. 1 The man who pretends to be pro- gressive in his principles and has not
 the courage to break away from a
 party whose every teaching is right i the opposite, is an imposter-a poli
 tician for revenue only, and not
 worthy the support of the honest
 voter We have respect for the man like Uncle Joe Cannon, who opposes everything progressive. and is proud of it. We have a kind of respect for
 the strong arm man who robs you in daylight and uses no mask, but
 we have no respect for the sneak
 thief or confidence man, whether he
 be after votes or money. The man who seeks office by the straddle method; by calling himself progress
 sive-republican' or independent pro gressive." is one who has not tho nerve to run on any one platform nor as the nominee of any one party; he is a political confidence man, and seeks your votes under false pro-
 tense.
 Now, my democratic friends. if you like our program. and our principles,
 and believe you can consistently work
 with us, why not join us now, before
 the fall campaign begins? If you re- main where you are another two
 years. you will find yourself In the same chaotic political condition as our republican unfortunates are to-
 dav-repudiated and lonesome.

 That is the line up that was framed with much hard work and few hard words yesterday. Gyrating betN cen the office of C. Purdy Bullard, where the auto race committee was meeting and the alley back of Coiiings where Baker and Johns were holding forth,
 the motorcycle men did some tall fix
 ing, and finally brought about d partial agreement. For the motorcycle race as an additional attraction on the au- to race program, the auto club is to guarantee certain sums of money to Johns and Baker. The two riders are to frame up their own sort of d race. Strange and unbelievable as it may seem the two champs came together instantly on the matter of weight Un- like prize fighters they didn't disagree a second after it was explained to them. They will weigh in and out with their 1 machines. each to tip the scales to the l same degree. This is to equalize things between the riders and machines Johns weighs forty pounds less than Baker and the Excelsior weighs twenty ! pounds more than the Indian This series of discrepancies must be ad- ! iusted
 i But after all Johns and Baker may
 not race. The arrangement is less solid
 than q signed agreement between | Lightweight Champion Willie Ritchie
 and contender for the crown. There
 are several rocks which the hard work | ing committee must clear from the path before the thing can be called
 settled. One is the gee-haw between
 the motorcycIists and the automobilists and the other is the loneliness of the | two riders. Baker and Johns agreed | before the writer to accept the figure 1 proposed by the committee from the ] T.

 Fox is a twO-handed boxer fast on his feet and one of the cleverest featherWeights in the country. At the time he met Kilbane he was able to make 115 pounds easily but now he has taken on weight until he is a legitimate featherweight. He car ries a sleep producing punch in eith- CT hand and is every bit as fast as kilbane.
 Fox is d gentlemanly little fellow and does not use liquor or tobacco in any form. He is a lad who makes friends with all who meet him and if he is able to land the title should become one of the most popular champions who ever battled in America.

tumble house down.
One day wicked witch called to him
and said. "Oh, Mr.. Wind, would you be

with your mighty breath??"
He answered back, glad TO use his i'm
mense power Yes. Mrs. Witch, 1 will"
and with mighty breath blew her across
the ocean.
But the wind had not blown quite hard
enough and tho witch landed knee deep
in a harbor. OF course, tho wind had not

that was Just what he meant to do. SO
she said few magic words and where
the giant wind had been, there remained
nothing but empty air The wind

said. Sometime, maybe. someone will
release you, but that person must first
