ROOSEVELT SAYS:
Our Effort Is to Make This Coun-
try Economically as Well as
Politically a Genuine
Democracy.
His Introduction to important Hand
book of Progressivism.

Theodore Roosevelt earnestly rec
commends the recently published book,
THE Progressive Movement" by S. ].
Duncan-C Clarke, and in the introduction
which he wrote for it and which is
published as a part of the book, he
condenses the fundamental principle
of progressivism in a sentence: "Our
effort is to make this country econom-
ically as we'll as politically a genuine
democracy"
Now whether or not the Progressive
party survives-and careful analysts
have shown pretty forcefully that it is
going to survive-there can be no
doubt of the genuine vitality of the
progressive spirit. Says Roosevelt:
"The Progressive movement is greater
than the Progressive party; yet the
Progressive party is at present the
only instrument through which that
movement can be advanced"
There is nothing tentative or apollo
getic in this statement. But he also
says: This movement is not in any
sense a one-man movement"
IT, then, you desire to learn the sig
nificance of the progressive idea, both
as a real economic advance and as a
party cry, you will get the wished-for
information in "The Progressive Move
ment" by S. J. Duncan-Clarke, as it
has been o. KID by the leader of the
Progressive forces.
The Chicago Evening Post of Deem
Der 10, 1913, said of this book: at
ought to be read by al Americans"
We quote the comment as printed:
"The level of political discussion in
the United States is not high. We
have some excellent political gossips
and some respectable students of his
maliar at once with contemporary
events and with political theory are
rare. That is why Mr.. Duncan-Clarke's
book on the progressive movement is
so welcome. For he has a newspaper
editorial writer's knowledge of what
has been going on in the United States
and a students knowledge of political
ideas.
"The exposition here given of the
principles and program of the Progress
sive party, which is so far the sole
means of expressing the progressive
movement" and carries the sanction
Of Colonel Roosevelt. He expresses
the wish in the introduction which he
has provided that the book could be
read by all Republicans, all Democrats,
and all Socialists; more, it ought to
be read by all Americans. For it is
that rare book in which man who
konws what he is talking about has
set down clearly and succinctly the
facts about an important matter"
"The Progressive Movement" is
book of 318 pages of easy, interesting
explanation. It's publishers, Small, |
Maynard & Company, of Boston, have
thought wise to issue it in brown paper
covers at low price, so cents, and
they ar emaking special discounts to
progressive clubs for quantity orders.
Some clubs find the profit from the
sale of the book well worth adding to
their sources of income.

Probably the only two men high up III
public life who look upon base ball as
virulent torn of dangerous insanity are
Postmaster General Burleson and Sena-
tor Boise Penrose. Albert Sidney has said
over and over again that men who con-
gregate In front of public scoreboards
should be arrested as Vagrants, and
Boise, the chubby boss of the Keystone
state, scarcely knows which way to run
when a base hit is scored. His attentions
to the political game have kept him
from failing to touch second when
home run was 10 be scored. but there is
n vel! authenticated story af1oat in the
Capito. that T. Rs friend Boise has seen
base ball diamond only twice in his
.;fe
And this seems strange. too. Penrose
went to a private school and later to
Harvard. He is considerable of SWIM
ner. and rumor has it he rowed on
Harvard crew of some sort but that he
never paid the slightest attention to
base ball in all of those youthful years
before he contracted several hundred
pounds beneath his wesscut.
One of the two games of base ball he
has seen took place at the Polo Grounds

experiences of odd sorts. At one time in
his youth he was somewhere in the mid
die west hundreds of miles from home,
and. like all other youths he tiirted with
the god of chance at roulette game
and found himself without one cent. And
he was miles from home, as | said before.
There We're two things which worried
him One was that he figured he would
not be able to get a meal for three days.
and the other was that he had made an
engagement with girl in neighboring
town and not only had no railroad fare,
but didn't even have cents to write the
young thing and break the date AS
time progressed the first worry overshad-
owed the latter, for it was a strange
town, and filed with harsh Inhabitants

looking young men, handsome man

in the minds of those pious souls who
that country.
However, Fred looked around the sta
ton platform and found man who
seemed familiar. Sure enough, the fell
low turned out to be a friend of Steck-
mans father. but he was not particularly
enthusiastic about financing Frederick's
trip home, although he did go the length
of buying Freddie ticket.
Now, it was a roundabout route. 1t
would take from Saturday to Monday to
get to Fred's home, as he had to make
a change at station where the connect
ing trains did not run Saturday nights or
Sundays. Fred had already gone hungry
Friday and had nothing to eat but con-
ders Saturday, and starved again Sun

Boards That Come and Go.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Just why our nation has looked as
kance at elaborate boards it would be
an interesting task to figure out. Per-
hapS merely because We are conServa-
tive and when our nation took its birth
from England clean shaving was the
order of the day. Prior to that boards
had been in and out time and time
again among our ancestors. But with
the reign of Queen Anne every vestigc
of beard mustache and whisker van
ished. and throughout the days of the
colonies, when Americans were fixinS
their speech and dress and habits, hair
was not.
Guardsmen began to cultivate mus
taches in England a.ain around the days
of Waterloo, and the "Piccadilly weep
erS'' marked the climax of returning hair
In the COS. But America never followed
this lead with much enthusiasm. Boards
of a modest sort were not infreruent in
the SOS and sos, but taking their rec
ord throughout Americans have well
earned their reputation for being clean
shayen.
Perhaps we might be more decorative II
we were bearded like Abraham. Aga
memnon and King Arthur. But what is
the Use of going behind a national re-
solve? There is something essentially
American about a clean-shaven face.

Perhaps the prodigal son had that sort

home to the fatted calf.
Monday when the connecting train
came along there was q dining car on it.
and the sight of it nearly drove Fred
frantic He crawled in day coach as far
away from that diner as he could get
and curled up miserably in his seat He
inquired that if the train was more than
three minutes late in getting to his home
town where his fond and generous par
ents were he would die of starvation. It
was one long trail of hunger for Fred,
and his thoughts were on the good things
In that dining car at every turn of the
wheels. He said to himself that il he

and he had no way of terrorizing the
dining car crew.

and faltering step when it stopped at his

Tener who is president Of the National
League, and was at one time star
pitcher for the Chicago White Sox. The
positive and negative Of official base ball
fandom were incorporated right there in
that combination of governor and repub-
lican boss of the state of Pennsylvania.
Penrose only went to the game because
he wanted to talk to Tener, and was sore
when an o!d-time White Sox payer leap
ed into Tener's box and began buzzing
base ball lingo like humble bee.
He took up half an hour of the valuable
time which Penrose had counted on. and
the republican boss was getting gloomy.
However. he thought he had better chip
into the conversation so as to appear to
be a regular sport. and he opened his enc
of the conversation with this query:
.'Tener when you played ball, were
you the pitcher or the batter?'

There is something ever fresh and green
about the novitiate in the automobile
driving business. They all have SO many
cute little experiences that one won
ders sometimes whether there is not a
special providence to look after them.
II they were left to bare bad fate, I am
sure they would all be crushed under the
wheels of hay wagons, fire engines street
cars or brewery chariots. because they
certainly do take chances that no unpro-
tected human could risk and remain
whole.
For instance, take Frederick Steckman
who is now taking chances daily with
Frank Lords automobile while Frank Is
in Maine with the democratic party en-
deavoring TO carry that state for the ad-
ministration at the coming election. Fred
has been cautiously running around in
Franks nice-iooking car for a few days.
and it was simply a matter of time when
he would report that he had endeavored
to climb the side of a house.
Sitting down to lunch few days ago,
he remarked. with innocent accents:
There are lots of things you must
learn before you can run motor car
properly"
"And what have you learned today?"
asked friend.
