Mover win .Be Democrats

No serious efforts were made on
the part Of the democratic press
prior 10 the recent election to induce
fnsembsrs of the Progressive party TO
f1oin the Democratic party. Nor did
democratic newspapers venture to
declare that there was no special
difference between Democratic doc
trtne and Progressive principles, as
they are now asserting. Before the
lelechon- that press contented itself
with encouraging the Progressive
party. 1t tried to keep it intact and
las large as 1t was in 1912. The com
Epiete turning around that press has
taken since the election shows what
SITS motive was before the election,
namely, to keep the Republican party
divided SO that the Democrats could
win.
Progressiyes who were urged by
that press to continue in their cause,
which the Democratic press pro-
tnonuced righteous, are amazed now
10 read In that same press an urgent
Inv itatipn to abandon that cause and
come into the household Of Demo-
icrAcy. The delusion is being held
out that Democratic doctrines and
Progressive principles are one and
khes same, not twins but one. The
Debated idea is passing strange. The
wonder Sof the age is that the Demo-
cratic press did not make the dis
covery before the recent election and
Try to round up the Progressives for
the Democratic ticket.
The Democratic press goes so far
now rs to express the belief that
Frogressiyes will not return to the
Republican party. Another error it

.busily engaged itself in former Re-
publican years in closing factories all
over the country, for some little
while has been occupied with the
rather .herculean task of opening

In the good old days before this
war upset the world. the German
ships that carried notwithstanding
Americans from New York to Naples
furnished three interesting sights
along the route: One was the cas-
cades of the Azores; another was
Gibraltar; but the; greatest Of all
was Algiers.
|, The ships had the habit OF anchor
ling off the Algerian coast in the
middle OF the night, 50 that when the
morning dawned and one peeped out
|of his portfolio, the thing was spread
before him in ali; its perfect beauty
In the foreground the blue water, OF
that blueness to be- found only in the
shallow reaches Of the Mediterran-
can, and all alive with queer craft
propelled by queerer people. In the
background the crests, Of the treeless
mountain range that we know is the
northern boundary of the great Sa-
hara, and, IL we are in the SPRING
time, these crests will be tipped with
snow. 3
And in the middel distance. Al
giers! White, dazzling white, in the
morning sun, with here the tiniest
little bit of green where some
straggly palm rises from. a court
yard, and there the faintest splash OF
pink where some dome has been
tinted to make 1t stand out against
all the whiteness OF the white city.

The heroine Of this tale is 10 be
married this month: and she will
make a good wife. there's no. doubt
about It. {.
When bride aud bridegroom move
into their coy fiat, they will have a
handsome outfit of bedroom firni-
tuTe all paid for by savings made by
the young couple during that usually
expensive period between the en-
gaement and the wedding.
And this is the way 1t came about:
For while the young. mans de-
sire to do everything & he could to en-
tertain his fiance in the customary
style was uncurbed. There were au-
to rides. theaters and after theater
isuppers. flowers and candies galore
just the kind Of layish attention
that would quite turn the head Of
the average girl.
But this was an unusually sensible
girl. So very soon she took her
6ance aside and said to him:
George. have had enough OF
this extravaganza. Hereafter I am
going to take the will for the deed
almost every time you propose some
expensive stunt
You are TO give me the money
that you were planning to spend
and will put, 1t in this little metal
bank and the first of every month
we will take it to the bank and de-
post it in our fund to buy furniture

or course. George fell in readily
with the plan and they readily got as
much pleasure from saving in this
way and anticipating the purchase of
things to add to the comfort and at
Effectiveness Of their. future home as
they formerly had in wasting: money
on a temporary good time"
And the substantial result is that
they have about $500 more in the
bank than they otherwise would have
had on launching their bark upon
the matrimonial sea and they did not
give up all good times either, by any
means. y -

Were we becoming a nation OF ma

that national greatness is founded
on individual as well as national NOR
atty, business, political and person.
al? Did we need to be checked in
our pursuit of success, power, wealth,
to consider our national ideals? asks
the Pictorial Review for December.
Then for this awakening, for the
realization that might is not right,
that the rights of the people are
higher than the. rights OF kings, that
in general disarmament lies the
worlds safetyss Good Lord, let US be
deeply thankful!
The added cost Of necessities, to
say nothing Of luxuries, economy in
the family circle, these small war
shadows which have escaped from
the grimmer European conflict to
settle on the United States, are not
without their social or economic,
va.ue. AS a nation, we had become
just little reckless. Prosperity had
smiled on us for so many generations
that We believed ourselves favored.
Ours was the land where a Job would
always turn up, where the shrewd
man or woman could always make
big money" where the golden apple
OF good fortune might roll at our fees
at the very next turn OF the country
road or the city street.
The land of great opportunities, We
called ourselves, and to many OF us
the opportunities have come too cas-
lily. We have fallen into the. habit
OF doing. things in the easiest way.
oh, yes, we have had great show
Of energy and vim and resourceful-
ness, but for all this, We have grown
very dependent on other nations for
Our raw materials. 49,
For several generations we. have
been seeking the easiest way. Of Sc
curing raw materials, Offering the
typical American; excuse that time is
money. or that raw materials can be
produced more cheap1y abroad be-
cause OF the small wages there. We
have not seen in this an almost GRIM
ipal neglect oftoppdrtunity and the
productive possibilities of our own
land
The war found manufacturers ut
terly unprepared and much. of the rec
ent talk of dull times among factory
workers was due, not to lack of de-
mand for the manufactured article
nor to the lack of money to buy it,
but to<the lack OF raw material with
which to manufacture 1t. This has
set the manufacturers, statesmen and
economists thinking along right
hnes-the Importance of encouraging
not only infant industries. but also
the production of the raw material
from which the manufactured article
Is produced.

 There are many unquestiOn- able signs that the German army circles are worried.

 Mir. Cosgrove, who spoke first, did not refer to his own candidacy, but made an able and earnest plea for Democracy and for the Delegate can. didate.
 Mir. Bunnell, like Caesar "came, saw and conquered" Numbers, who came to the meeting to be entertain ed, left with a different opinion of the candidate, many stating that they were now convinced that he is the man for the place. Mir. Bunnell did not use the satire and other political ammunition that has characterized the other side of the campaign, nor did he appeal for the sympathies of his hearers by reading letters either for or against him, but confined him. self to discussing the platform, issues of the campaign, and the logical req sons why a Democrat could do more with a Democratic Administration than a man who is afraid to align him. self with any party.
