Chapter XCIX.

l could tell by the way that Dick
frightened his arm about me after
had proclaimed myself like every 9TH
er woman that while he did not be-
lieve what l said was a fact he loved
me for saying it.
l determined to press my point
about the young woman in the Choir
us about whom Jack had written me.
Now, Dick, DEAR said, 81 want
you to let me go and see this girl. If
she is what you think she is you will
only anger Jack and perhaps precipi-
tate matters by your interference and
if she is what Jack thinks she is,
would not have her hurt as you would
hurt her by taking Harry Symone
around to the stage door and asking
her to typical after the show supper.
She would probably accept, whatever
she is, knowing you were Jacks
brother
''I'n write her a little note; go and
call upon her and then decide wheth-
er l want to know her. If l like her
I'll invite her to have dinner with just
you and me and then I'll let you say
what we shall do next in the matter"
Dick hesitated a minute, but his
arm did not relax as we rode along in
the luxurious limousine in which the
Symones were sending us home after
our dinner at their house. l knew l
had won before he spoke, but was
surprised when he said: Il guess you
are right about it, Margie. You go
ahead and run it your way"
Dick does not often tell me l am
right when l differ with him, and
when he gives in to me he almost al
ways makes favor of it.
l have learned good deal about
Dick since l married him four months
ago. have found he is quick temper
ed and acts rather like a spoiled child
when he can't have his way. How

Mayor W. J. Robbins today gave out
a signed statement to newspaper men
emphatically branding as false a state
ment appearing yesterday in a local
newspaper that, Mayor Robbins
will undoubtedly be among the
hundreds of Progressives in this
county who will flop Ito the Republi-
cans) when the reunion movement
gets more definitely under way"
Mayor Robbins, in commenting on
his statement, took occasion to pay his
respects to Mayor Bachelor of Marion
and Mayor Watkins of New Castle,
who have just announced their deser-
! tion of the Progressive party and their
return to the Republican fold.
Il don't believe either Bachelor or
Watkins were ever Progressives,"
said Mayor Robbins. THE Republican
party is the same boss-ridden, re-
dictionary organization it was prior to
the Chicago convention of 1912, and
any man who bolted that party then,
and can countenance it now, never has
! been a Progressive. The Progressive
| party is better off without those kind
of men. The Republicans are welcome
| to them.
Amused by Watkins.
| Watkins statement that there is
| no further necessity of a Progressive
| party because the old, hide-bound'
Republican bosses are no longer in
CONTROL is amusing to me. The old
party is still managed by the same
crowd, the crowd which caused Wat
kins at that famous Republican dis
trict convention at Connersville in
the spring of 1912 to heap reproaches
upon their heads and take his place in
the foremost ranks of the insurgent
Republicans, who later went over to
the Progressive party"
The assertions of the local newspa-
! per that there would be reunion of
the Republican and Progressive par
ties in Wayne county cause Republi-
can County Chairman l.. S. Bowman
and Progressive County Chairman
Clifford Price much amusement.
| Bowman Laughs.
| Il know of no such movement" said
Mr.. Bowman. Prior to the Progress
sive primary election in February
suggested reconciliation and merger to
/ certain Progressive leaders, who
would not consider such a plan 1t
would be too late now to consider it,
| Why merge?" laughed Mr. Price
! Inc progressive party Is the strong
est in the county. and We have moth
ing in common with the Republicans.
| This reunion talk is merely hot air."
| Robbins Statement.
! Mayor Robbins refutation of the
charge that he intends to flop back to
the Republican party follows:
To the Voters of Wayne County:

bleeding corpse on the floor of the
Chicago Convention.
With the fall of the gavel at the end
of that convention came the over

birth of independent thought and in
dependent voting. Thousands upon
thousands of men believing in ad-
vanced and progressive principles,
| which had been repudiated by the Re
publican Party, united by one common
! impulse, and in four months time be-
came the second party of the land, and
one of the greatest factors in Ameri-
can State and National politics. The
men who believed in those principles
two years ago believe in them now,
and are anxiously waiting to cast their
ballots for the advancement of those
principles.
Idea Ridiculous.
OF all things ridiculous is the idea
of even thinking that men will throw
down principles in which they sin
cerely believe, and adopt those of an
entirely contrary nature: or of repu-
dating leaders in whom they have the
greatest confidence and in adopting
new ones who have knitted them in the
past. and with the firm belief on their
part that the same will occur again.
On account of the fact that some
might construe the article in last eve
ning's paper to be true, I am address
ing this letter to the public that all
may know that l am still a firm be-
lever I'm the Progressive Party and
of its future, and that l have the ut
most confidence in the honesty and
ability of such men as Theodore
Roosevelt and Albert ]. Beveridge,
and of the numerous other leaders
who are now at the head of the Pro
gressive Party.
Very truly yours.

SartOrial VexatiOns Arise
When Women Decide to Visit
Cabinet Meeting of Mavor

What ] wanta know is whether We
will have to rent dress suits for the
cabinet meeting Monday night?"
This was the question Harry Hod-
gin, city building inspector. was anx-
iously addressing to other disturbed
city officials today.
The concensus of opinion, however,
was that it would be perfectly proper
for all members of the mayors cabi-
net to attend the April meeting at
tired in neat business suits and
boiled" shirts.
The cause of all the agitation was
the announcement made by Mayor
Robbins that a delegation of thirty
five or forty representatives of the
Federation of Women's Clubs of Rich
mond had signified their intention of
attending the cabinet meeting to see
how the officials transact city busi-
ness.
Women Interested.
Members of these women's clubs
are very much interested now in the
question of city government, especial
ly since Mayor Robbins invited the
federation to be represented on his
citizens advisory committee, now be-
ing organized.
This is the first time the women of
Richmond have been invited to take
hand in assisting in the administra-
ton of city affairs, and they appreci-
atee the compliment thoroughly
The announcement that there will
be big delegation of club women
at the cabinet meeting Monday night
shows that they are taking a great
deal more interest in city affairs than
good many of their husbands. faith

bins today.

MADE A GOOD RECORD
Departing Official Instituted
Honor System and Built
Up Membership Among
Younger Children.

After four years work among the
boys of the city as boys secretary of
the Y. M. c. A., Herbert A. Pettijohn
last night rendered his resignation
which was accepted by the board Of
directors. Mr.. Pettijohn leaves Rich
mond the first week in May to take
charge of the boys department of the
association at Muncie. The Muncie
association has new plant with sep
arate quarters and equipment for the
boys, over which Mr.. Pettijohn will
have complete charge.
81 hate very much to leave the boys
of Richmond and the many friends l
have made here" said Mr.. Pettijohn.
today, "but feel that the opportunity
for future advancement is too great to
be turned down. l am not leaving be-
cause l am dissatisfied with the work
here"
Since coming here Mr.. Pettijohn has
made the boys department one of the
big features of the association instead
of a side issue When he took charge
of the department 131 boys were en-
rolled in the Bible classes; today
more than 400 are enrolled with a TO-
tai attendance for the year of over
5000
Under his direction the association
has won places on the honor rolls of
the country contesting against organi-
cations in the largest cities. Last
year Richmond was second on the Bi-
BILE class honor roll; this year Petit
john believes the boys will rank Sec
ond to none.
Forms Honor Roll
In this connection he instituted the
honor roll for the boys who made the
greatest development, physically, NOR
ally and mentally, trying to produce
all-around men. Recruiting from
among the boys who had never been
worked with by the association, Petit
john has increased the membership of
his department to over three hundred.
His great work has been among boys
who have not the best of home sur
roundings, who are not reached by
the Sunday schools, and who have
hitherto been allowed to run wild on
the streets, without any one earring
particularly what became of them.
Father and son" banquets to Gre
ate closer filial relations were insti.
tuted by him.
Boys hate to see "Petty" leave, and
so do their parents and citizens who
have watched his work building up
the coming generation. Secretary
Learner and the director express re.
gret to lose Mr.. Pettijohn, but con.
gratulate him on the greater opportun.
ity before him.
Before coming to Richmond Mr.
Pettijohn was boys secretary of the
Y. M. c. A. at Dallas, Tex. Mr.. Petit
john is graduate of Wabash college
and of the l.. G. A. Training School
at Chiacgo.
Il am glad. to be able to get into
a new building and introduce some
work along lines l have in mind.' said
Mr.. Pettijohn. Il shall keep on the
Bible work as it has been conducted
here but l will also introduce educa
tional work for employed boys. I have
