A Real Progressive's Answer.

To the Editor of tho PRESS
With your kind permission l take
the liberty of using space In the
PRESS in order to earnestly protest
against the leaders Of my party in
deciding to "go 1t alone" which means
desertion Of Governor Haines. without
giving an opportunity to the rank and
file to express their opinion on the
matter.
BY taking TO themselves the power
to decide on such a course, they have
inauIted the intelligence, outraged
the feelings Of their fellow Progress
sives, given victory to the Democrats,
and put in danger principle for
which tho people Of the State have
iaborsd and defended during tho past
SO ysars.
Ninety per cent. Of our party are
former Republicans, who have always
supported prohibition and it's enforce
rent and I believe thousands Of my
fellow Progressives, Of tho rank and
file, deplore the "so II alone" decision,
a. Il oompeIs US, VI we wish to support
the law and its enforeer, to return to
the Republican party.
Let me tell our readers that we OF
the rank and file know our rights ana
we know when we are being depriv-
ed Of them: know when men put SELF
ish political ambitions above Progress
sive principles--'tis then leaders die
and bosses are born.
At time when the Socialists are
voting on their future guhernatorial
nominee shall we Progressives submit
to this usurpation Of our power by our
ieadersf
Because Of Roosevelt's strenuous
objection to being treated In this man.

a." Won't Work"
(Boston Advertiser.)

1t is now admitted by some OF the
leaders of the Industrial Workers OF
the World, that the demonstration OF
the unemployed" at Washington Will
be made up very largely of men who
have left good, paying jobs, to help to
make the demonstration the more I'M
pressive. Investigation into demon
strations, elsewhere, shows that many
of the men who have come forward
as unemployed" will not take work
VIXEN it is offered. In view of these
facts, the charity now offered without
question is open to criticism. He who
supports deliberately idle man, WITH
out any effort to make the man work
for what he gets, does very bad
thing, to the man thus aided. and to
all workers. The premium thus deiib-
erately set upon idleness and vicious
ness tends To discourage the thrifty
and the provident. There is no real
charity" in such a policy. It IS maw-
kish sentimentalism, run crazy.

Psychologists tell us that while mos
quitoes spread malaria germs they are
not born with them, but get them from
biting a person who has them in MS
blood. The mesquite, therefore, from the
mosquito point of view. is not malicious
but simply an innocent victim OF mis-
