A DISAPPEARING PARTY

Perhaps nothing has contributed
more potently to the disintegratlon of
the progressive movement than the
lack of sound, cohesive principles,
says the Kansas City Journal. And
as the whole movement was predicated
upon a claim of virile and inspiring
principles, this poverty is all the more
dispiriting. When Colonel Roosevelt
smarting under the sting Of defeat at
the Chicago republican convention.

night, he sought to catch the popular

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE

Chicago, Oct. 9.-Expected falling
off in receipts at primary points had
a bullish effect today on wheat. AT
ter opening * to 5s cent lower, the
market rose well above last nights
level.
Corn followed the course Of wheat.
The opening, which ranged from un'
changed figures to 4 cent off, was
followed by a moderate advance.
Some export inquiry helped to make
oats firm.
Higher prices for hogs gave steadi-
ness to provisions. The closing quo
tations were:
Wheat, Dec 1898; May lis.

COUNTY AND STATE
WILL COOPERATE
FURTHER IMPROVEMENTS WILL
BE MADE IN THE HIGHWAY
TO SANTA FEE

County Road Commissioners Robert
j. Taupert and George H. Hunker,
after a trip to Santa Fe by automobile
are praising work being done by the
state on the highway south of here.
State Engineer French, who accom-
panied the commissioners, pointed out
a strip of highway seven miles in
length which has been built by a
force of ten men under the direction
of Apolonio Pine, at state expense.
The road has been entirely graded
and is in good condition. In addition,
20 new culverts, built of rock and ce-
ment, have been installed The
greater part of the work has been
strip highway seven miles in
done in the section from the Apache
canyon toward Las Vegas. The gang
has reached the vicinity of Pecos.
The county road commissioners
were so pleased with the work that
they authorized Mr.. Pine to call out
the road tax labor of the district and
superintendent further operations, to
continue as far as Rowe ]. w. Har.
rison, one of the most consistent
boosters and workers for good roads
who resides in Pecos, will furnish a
heavy work team to do necessary
plowing and will otherwise assist the
road commissioners. In the vicinity
of Pecos it will be necessary to buil6
considerable stretch of new high
way, in order to avoid numerous
turns and bad arroyo crossings. A
San Jose the route has been straight
ened considerably. avoiding deeI

in front of the store of Sheriff Roman
Gallegos. In order to effect this i'm
proven1ent it was necessary to tea
down an adobe building. A small
bridge will be placed over the arroy'
at more favorable crossing place.
In assisting in the road building ant
repairing operations, the highway com
mission will send out a camp wagol
with four or five men and tools ant
dynamite. The explosive will be use'
in removing bad ruts and big rocks
The road to Santa Fe is in pretty fai
shape, the commissioners declare
They made the trip to Santa Fe easil,
in five hours. g lfa
Beyond the scene of operations a
iPecos, all the way to Canyoncito, tn
road is in excellent condition. From
Canyoncito to Santa, Fe no work ha
been done either by the state or thu
county for some time This road wa;
not so badly washed by rain as was

fancy by suggesting daring and ad-
venturous political course which would
lave for its battle-cry whole list OF
unlifting issues for the good OF the
masses. There was no need at the
time to be explicit Under the mague-
tic influences of the hour he promised
much. With the ringing words of
social Justice he sought to arouse
an6 inspire a following that later was
to find out the hollowness OF mere
phrasemaking.
During the past few months the pro-
gressive movement has dwindled until
thore is nothing left Of 1t except a
frank general admission among the
leaders that they are now animated
with a purpose to defeat republican
candidates anywhere and everywhere.
1T is not that they hope to gain pres
TIE by this course. But Colonel
Roosevelt and several of his colleagues
have become so embittered against
their old party because they could no
longer control II in their own interest
that they have sacrificed all their
beautiful dreams of uplift to the COM
mon sentiment of revenge. Is 1t any
wonder that former progressives all
over the country are quitting the bull
moose movement in disgust? When
Social justice" degenerates into mere
yearning for revenge there is no long
er any inspiring movement for honest
men to lend their services to such a
cause.
There is not today single impor-
liant issue claimed by the progressiyes
that is theirs by right Of discovery
Every state and county has its little
groups of bull moosers fighting for
local issues. But in national sense
tlore is no longer any cohesive
strength. Of late Colonel Roosevelt
has been ardently supporting prohibi-
ItioI, an issue espoused by him long
after the Chicago bolt. But prohibi-
tion was an issue long before he took
lit up. Several candidates for the
| pre- sidency had fought under that ban
Iner. The republican party itself has
done more for the advancement of
prohibition than any other influence
behind it. The latter-day progress
sives have accepted this issue because
! it is the one thing remaining that is
national in scope and still of live po-
puiar interest. But all the beautiful
theories and ideals of that old Chicago
platform have vanished into thin air.
With no substantial Capitalization of
purposes, no proposals of fundament-
tai Importance not already advocated
by other parties, no national spirit, it
| IS little wonder that the progressive
movement has broken up into mere
local factions which are melting away
numerically as their members realize
the hopelessness of the undertaking
