HAVE COME BACK TO PARTY
Recent Primaries Show That Repub-
Leans Are Rapidly Leaving the
Progressive Ranks.

Statewide primaries have now test
ed the political sentiment of states
which held markedly different opin-
ions, or differed sharply in the relative
strength of the great parties, in the
presidential election of 1912. In all
of them the result has been the same
in showing a great change Of feeling
in favor Of the Republican party, and
pointing to a political revolution next
November.
In. Minnesota and Pennsylvania the
order, two years ago, was Roosevelt
first, Wilson second and Taft third. In
Iowa and Kansas the Democratic can
didate led, with the Progressive Sec
ond and the Republican last. In Ohio
the first place fell to Wilson, with Taft
next and Roosevelt last.
This year. in the popular vote pri-
maries, these states all went the same
way. All of them put the Republican
ticket far above either of the others.
In all of them the virtual disappear
aEce Of the Progressive vote showed
that the Progressives had returned to
the party which they left in 1912.
In every one of these states, all of
which voted against the Republican
ticket in 1912, the Republican vote
this year vas much larger than the
combined vote Of the Democrats and
the Progressives. Contests or no con-
tests, it was everywhere the same.
The meaning of the figures recorded is
too plain to be misunderstood. Union
between the Republicans and the Pro
gressives has taken place. Demo
cratic defeat is certain.

The Wage Is the Foundation.

When a country is prosperous, wage
buy homes, and those homes
must be built for them. 1t is a ques-
ton of supply and demand. Of course
we can't import homes. They are
built here and by labor employed by
builders on this side Of the Atlantic.
If wage-earning home seekers are
not enjoying an income from their la
Dor that enables them to purchase
homes, the building industry Ian
cuisines.
AS a matter of fact, the wage is the
foundation upon which the home is
erected, and anything that interferes
with the wage and. reduces it serious
ly affects the building industry. Can
it be truthfully said at this time that
the tariff has had nothing to do with
the "lull in business ?"-Trenton IN.

examined. I showed what credentials
I had. but it was not until the Ameri-

were released, two hours later. A
great crowd which had gathered out

"We were able to get a train to
Cologne, however, into which city thou

for Ostend, but We were stopped at
Herbesthal on the Belgian border. We
had to get out of the train at 10 p.
m. It was raining and We had nothing
to eat and no place to- so.
There was no cnance to get another
train, but about one O'clock the next
morning I managed to get hold OF a
one-horse cart driven by a peasant,
who said he would take US to vervfers
where he thought we could get a train
for Liege. He gave us some crusts oil

MI. Roosevelt has been advised that
d~isaffected Democrats in Maryland are
turning to the bull moose party, and
he is said to be much heartened by the
information.
Why to the bun moose party? Why
not to- the Republican party?
The Republican party In Maryland
has for years been strong and well led.
Its leadership has been native, and
representative Of the best citizens in
the state. Ability and character have
both been manifested. A Republican

In 1896, Maryland threw her weight

income Tax FaIiacy,

The economists who assert it is for
tunate that congress levied the income
tax on the ground that otherwise the
government would be confronted with
a much larger deficit than the Euro
pean war is producing, do not think
back further than the day the Under
wood bill became a law. The fact is
that the tariff revisers in Washington
reduced the rates and put commodities
on the free list with the knowledge
that it would reduce the customs reve-
nues between SIS. 900, 900 and $100 ,000,-
900. To make up this deficit they levied
the income tax. Had they passed a
revenue tariff bill, designed to raise
money for the support of government.
the income tax would have been un-
necessary, and all money needed would
have been pouring in at the customs
houses these many months. American
business would be in a much more
prosperous condition than war now
finds it.

How City Of ParI. ls Defended.

ttOW Sity W ate -
Washington.-The Notifications Of
Paris and their ability to resist a
siege is receiving the close attention
of military observers, now that Paris
is the announced objective point OF
the German forces, and the French
ministry of war has adopted urgent
means of strengthening the city's de-
lenses to the utmost.
while the city's detailed d~efenses
are surrounded with strict secrecy by
French military authorities, yet their
general character and formidable
strength are well known to military
experts, who recognize them as among
the strongest fortiications in the
world.
These Notifications consist of three
distinct circles sweeping around the
city-frst, the solid wall of masonry
eighteen feet high, extending for %
miles around the sections Of Paris.
Second, the system Of IL detached
forts are arranged at intervals, two
miles beyond the wall and making a
circuit of the city 81 miles long; third,
an outer girdle Of forts, rs miles long
on the heights commanding the val
ley of the Seine.

RUSSIAN STORY
OF GREAT BATTLE
After a FierCely Contested Fight the
Austrians We're Obliged to Retreat
in Disorder Abandoning
Many Guns.

Petrogard, (St. Petefsburg).-The
following official communication was
issued by the Russian war office:
After a battle lasting seven days,
the Russian army seized heavily for
tilted positions around Lemberg, leap
ital of Galicia, in Austria-Hungary,)
about ten or twelve miles from the
town. The Russian troops advanced
toward the principal forts.
After a battle which was ~iercely
contested, the Austrians were obliged
to retreat in disorder, abandoning
heavy and light guns, parks Of artil-
lery and field kitchens.
Our advance guard and cavalry
pursued the enemy who suffered
enormous losses in killed, wounded
and prisoners.
The Austrian army operating in
the neighborhood of Lemberg was
composed of the Third, Eleventh and
Twelfth corps and part Of the Sew.
enth and Fourteenth corps. This
army appears to have been COM
pletely defeated.
During the pursuit by the Russian
troops, the Austrians, who beat a re-
treat from Guila Lipa, were forced to
abandon an additional thirty-one guns.
Our troops are moving over roads en-
numbered with parks of artillery and
conveys loaded with provisions of va
rious kinds.
THE total number of guns cap
tured by the Russians around Lem
berg amounted to $50"

forces on that flank to a certain extent
IS revealed by official French an
.nopncements. They say that the Ger
man advance has been made at an
enormous cost of lives and energy and
the French and English are asking
whether the German army is not be-
coming exhausted by its heavy losses.
The allies claim that they maintain
an excellent organization and that
their troops are in the best of spirits.
They also claim that the defensive
campaign they are maintaining means
that the Germans are throwing them
selves against a wall which has yield
ed but has the advantage of position
and strategy ON its side.

fuller details of the battle of Jedar.
The Austrian force, it says, was com
posed of 100000 men and held a fav-
orable position. BY it's retreat it adj

than 1000 wounded, according to the

SHOWED BOSS RULE.
Significant Result of Recent Pro-
gressive Primaries.
Explanation Made Seems to Reflect on
the New Party as the Champions
of Nomination by Primaries
instead Of Bosses.

The followers Of Colonel Roosevelt
have been the champions Of the pri-
mary, as against the party convention,
to defeat boss rule. If there is a Pro-
gressive party now in existence it has
not made itself manifest in the pri-
maries so far held In any state. The
story is the same in Pennsylvania,
vote al insignificant In all these
states, and the explanation offered is
that there were no contests for the
nominations and therefore no incen-
tive for the Progressives to show their
hands In the primaries. That was the
small vote in Pennsylvania, for Mr..
Garf1eld's Insignificant vote in Ohio,
and for Mr.. Murdock's vote of less
than ten thousand in Kansas.
The explanation may prove true in
November, but it seriously reflects on
the professions of the Progressives as
the champions of nominations by pri-
maries to defeat the rule of the bosses.
In every state named the Progressive
candidates were ha~nd-picked. They
were selected by an organization ma
chine, perhaps a gentleman's agree
mem. There was only one Progressive
candidate at the primaries. The Pro-
gressive voters had no part in the Sc
lection Of the candidates they are to
vote for in NOVEMBER. The leaders of
this party of political purists have
been more successful in boss rule than
ever were Thomas c. Platt and Mat
thew S. Quay in iheir palmiest days.
The Progressive party was made up
of men who had been persuaded that
the bosses and not the rank and file
controlled the Republican party. They
~reyolted against boss rule and opposed
the bosses. They refused to be like
sheep, herded and delivered to this
candidate or that one.
That the great majority of them
were honest in this belief goes without
saying. 1t is also to be assumed that
the great majority of those men who
followed Roosevelt out of the Repub-
lican party still believe in the primary
as the only fair and honest way to
make party nominations, and that they
are just as much opposed to hand.
picked Progressive candidates as they
were two years ago to convention-se-
lected candidates. They do not diff
ferentiate as to party bosses. They
are as Indifferent to the party whip

Mr.. Pinchot, Mr.. Garfield and Mr.. Muir
dock as they were to the old party
whip in the hands of the Republican
leaders This would appear to be the
only explanation of the small Progress
sive vote in Pennsylvania, Ohio and
Kansas, In keeping with the profes'
sions of P~rogressives.
The new party has in two years be.
come boss ridden, and like the Popu.
list party of 90 years ago, one cam.
paign exhausted its strength as well
as its principles. 1t was a quarter
horse in politics.

From verviers we proceeded by

Two hours later another party Of
Americans were halted at that very

to lie in a ditch while the Belgians
fired over them. Next day 5000 Ger

GERMANS TAKE
RUSSIAN PRISONERS

Berlin-(By wireless to the As
sociated Press via Sayville, L. Lit
was officially announced that about
10000 Russians had been taken pris-
oners by the Germans during the
fighting in East Prussia, particularly
at Ortelsburg, Hohenstein and Tan
nenburg. They include many officers
of high rank.
The German attack at these three
points was across swamps and lakes.
The following account of Austrian
operations has been obtained in Ber-
lin from an official Austrian source:
in the Austro-Russian theatre of
war decisive battles have been in
progress for several days. Our forces
which were victorious near Krasnik
pursued the Russians in the direction
of Lubin. The Austrians advanced
also into the enemy's territory be-
tween the rivers Bug and Wieprz and
we have taken positions in front Of
Zamoso.
'.Other contingents of the Austrian
army held their positions northeast
q OF LemDerg. After
crossing the Dniester, they encount-
cred great forces of the enemy,
Emphasis is placed on the de
cisive' Of this official report.
THE Austro-Russian battle front
stretches for a distance of 700 kilo-
metres (420 miles,"
A correspondent of the Berlin Tage-
blatt at the Austrian headquarters,
telegraphing under date of August %
regarding the events subsequent to
the defeat of the Russians at Krasnik,
says the Austrian army advanced in
the direction of Lublin with the OBJ
ject of making impossible the re-
union of the Russian army of the
Vistula with its right wing. This is
the principal Russian army opposing
the Austrians.

Business Men in Politics.

The Republican leaders of the
Fourth congressional district of Mary
land, which is entirely in Baltimore
city, are making a direct appeal to
business men to take an active inter-
est in the coming campaign. These
leaders think that the business men
feel most keenly the effect of the de-
preston that has accompanied Demo-
cratic policies. But they feel it no
more than workingmen do. and the lat
ter class should not and will not be
overlooked. Business men AM, if they
arc e themselves, exert a potent In
iuence in politics. The protests against
the antitrust bills as originally formu-
lated made by the business men were
not without effect or influence at
