A PROGRESSIVE TRIBUNE.

A PROGRESSIVE TRIBUNE.
Here is a Progressive's tribute
to Woodrow Wilson. Arthur R.
Rupley is Congressman-at. large
from Pennsylvania. He is the
trusted friend and devoted fol-
lower of Theodore Roosevelt.
In a recent speech in the House
Mr.. Ripley discussed the presi-
dents foreign policy in part as
follows.
Mexico perpetually revolutio-
nary, disturbed our peace. Our
own people and the European
nations cried for armed interven-
tions. A big figure in the worlds
arena stood nearly alone for a
firm policy and one of "watchful
waiting"- "a policy which has pre-
vented war, much dreaded.
and which has made this country
the formost peace nation on the
globe.
Would we wish it to be said
that this great continental war
started with the United States of
American engaging in conflict
with a sister Republic, Mexico,
and finally spreading to Germany
England, France, Austria, Russia
Belgium Servia, Montenegr.,
and japan? That the young Re-
public of the Western Hemi-
sphere moved by a restless de-
sire for war against a weaker
Republic. communicated this
war germ to the Eastern Hemis-
phere, resulting in the greatest
war in the history of the world
and The greatest step backward
in the history of civilization?
Or would you have the United
States of America as it is to- day.
Through it's ministers abroad
although our embassies are sur
rounded by swords, and guns,
canons. shrieks, and groans of
the dying upon the battle-fields:
the guardian Angel of all the
people of world at war is the one
trusted power-the one power on
which the eyes of the world are
forced to carry on the obligations
brought on by this frightful car
mage?
The American flag does not
appear upon many ships, but that
flag to-day appears upon the
breasts of the German in Russia,
the Russian in Germany the
German in France, and the
Frenchman in Germany, the Ger
man in Great Britain, and the
Englishman in Germany, and the
German in the Japanies Empire
and the Japanese, in the German
Empire-to all of whom it affords
safety and protection, Is not
this glory sufficient for our flag.

Washington Letter.
BY Edward Keating,
CongressmGp-at-Lnrge
From Colorado.

In the first speech of his cam
paign, DR.. Hurbert Work, Repub-
lican candidate for United States
senator from Colorado, is report
ed to have used the following
language.
Our representatives return
from Washington vowing allegi-
. ance to the Wilson policies.
What we of Colorado are most
anxious to hear about are the
Thomas policies" and ''Keating
rolicies".
Evidently DR.. Work does not
read the Congressional Record or
he would discover that the 'Wil-
son Policies' and the Thomas
Policies" and the "Keating. Poi
cies" are identical.
President Wilson has said that
the success of his administration
was due to team work" be-
tween the legislative and execut-
i've branches of the government.
Congress has stood by the pres
ident and the president has sup
ported Congress and both have
endeavcred to keep the pledges
the Democratic party made to the
people of this country two years
ego.
The people are so we'll pleased
with the work performed, that
they want two more of it. They
know that if Dir. Work is elected
10 the Senate he will cooperate
with Penrose and Galliger and
Smoot and other Senatorial re-
dictionaries for the purpose of
hampering the president and
discrediting his administration.
They also know that if the Re-
publican Congressional candidat-
es in Colorado are successful they
will come down to Washington as
cogs in the Standpat machine
and that they will be found stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with the
Cannons, the Manns and the
Mondells in the lower house.
THE PARAMOUNT ISIS UE.
Dodge as they may, squlrm as
they may, explain as they may,
our Republican friends in Colo
RADIO cannot escape the real issue
before the voters.
Every man or woman who
casts a ballot in the Centennial
state on November 3 must answer
the question.
do you want to sustain Presi-
dent Wilson and his policies or
do you want to repudaite Presi-
dent Wilson and his policies?'
So far as the senatorial and
congressional candidates are con-
cerned, that is all there is to the
Colorado campaign.
Having frankly given DR..
Work the information he desired
concerning the Thomas Policies
{" and the Heating Policies,
1 wonder would he be good
enough to enlighten us concern
ing the Work Policies"? And
where does he stand on the
Taft policies" and the Cannon
Policies" and the "Aldrich Poll
cies"?
While the good doctor was fir
ing the first gun" of his camp
aign, he did not mention any of
the national leaders of the Re-
publican party.
Is it possible he is ashamed of
Taft and Cannon and Aldrich?
Or does he really admire them
hnt fear to give voice to his ad-
