There is a strong undercurrent
to-day in favor of an anti-Demo-
cratic coalition to be effected by
the next presidential election, but
such coalition is only possible on
the basis of the Progressive plat
form.
Coming from such a Progressive
leader as Franklin Spencer Edmonds.
the Philadelphia reformer and candi-
date for the State Senate, this state
ment has unusual significance. espec-
tally when it is considered in connec-
tion with the recently quoted observa-
tion of Colonel Roosevelt that he would
become candidate for the Republican
nomination for President only on con-
dition that he ran on progressive
platform. The anti-Democratic senti-
ment is stronger to-day than it was
yesterday, and it is going to be
stronger tomorrow than it was to-
day. 1t is not going to be a question
of Republican hair-splitting on per-
sonalities, but it is going to be a solid
alignment of the anti-Democratic
forces under one banner-the banner
of the party of protection and pros
perity.

CHANCE FOR REpFuELD.

~ ECRETARY REDFIELD'S nice
little plan to compel industrial
~ plants to keep running at the risk
of an administration investigation
is now threatened by Federal officials
in the case of the Ford automobile
plant where few thousand men have
been furloughed. 1t is intimated from
Washington that the layoff might be
found to be only an artificial slap at
the Administration business policies.
The Ford officials point out that any
such view is erroneous, asserting that
the laying off of men was nothing out
of the ordinary for this season of the
year and that it should not be taken
as an indication of general business
conditions. But the manufacturer and
business man who dares manage his
business contrary to administration
theories is in grave danger of the
gibbet.

HRESIDENT WILSON is going to
r. force through the Senate, as he
l. forced through the House the
repeal of that part of the Pana-
ma Canal act exempting American
coastwise shipping from the payment
of tolls. 1t matters not that eminent
lawyers have declared there is no vio-
lation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in
this exemption or that a great public
protest has swept over the country
against such action. President Will
son wants the clause repealed and
of the ages resides within his person.
ality are urging the repeal.
United States Senator O'Gorman, of
New York, declared the other day, re-
ferring to the Baltimore declaration
that "a platform pledge is either the
plighted word of men of honor or a
shifting, dishonest, unconscionable
prete Use to mislead a confiding cleo
torate"
Those who seek to justify the be-
trayal of party pledges" said Senator
.O'Gorman, must invent an excuse
or openly confess that the declaration
of principles adopted at the Baltimore
convention was a mere sham to be
used only for the purpose of deceiving
the American electorate and not for
the purpose of being redeemed hon
estly."
Senator OGorman. who is chair
man of the Interoceanic Canal COM
mittee, further denounced the pro-
posed repeal in these words:
When we talk of national honor
we may be suspected of insincerity
if we do not recognize that vio-
lated party. pledge is the rankeSt
kind of political perfidy. We surely
owe at least the same good faith
to the American people that we
profess to feel for foreign ma
tion.
The American people, not the
British Government, restored the
Democratic party to power, and If
we retain power 1t Will be by the
favor and confidence of the Amer
tcan people and not by the grace
of Great Britain.
Is the Democratic party prepared
TO confess itself guilty of a be
tidN dl VI Il puDllC w Ill 1t
admit to the country that it Sc
cured office by false pretense?
What confidence can the people
have in such a party so devoid of
respect for its own pledges? We
secured office under solemn
promise TO the American people,
which we are now asked to re-
pudiate.
In his vigorous denunciation of the
Presidents proposal, the New York
senator has put into concrete form the
growing sentiment at Washington
against the tyranny of the White
House. Reason, common sense, JUS
tice and patriotism alike cry out and
condemn it. The American people will
never consent to it, was the final con-
clusion of Senator O'Gorman.

BUSINESS MAY HAVE A CHANCE
TFrom the New York Sim !

IFTOm the NEW 0rK SUM
1t Is whispered in Washington that
the Administration has at last decided
to let business have a chance to adjust
itself to the new conditions created by
the tariff and banking laws. The House
caucus program, which includes the
passage of the antitrust and appro-
priation bills, is not necessarily the
legislative program of the Senate, The
appropriation bills must be passed, for
the government needs the money. But
the House is to devote it's attention to
the antitrust bills as guarantee of
it's good faith with the enemies of big
business. but with no expectation that
the Senate will enact them into laws.

GOVERNOR TENERs LITTLE STORY

t"Girard" in Public LEDGER
Governor Tener was watching
baseball game recently when Jim
Thorpe, the Indian, made particularly
good play. That reminded" the presi-
dent of the National League of this
story:
The Carlisle Indian School team was
playing an upstate nine for which
newly-landed 1rishman was covering
third base. One of the Indians batted
out three Dagger, but dashed past
the astonished player from the Emer-
aid Isle for home run.
When the cheers for the runner and
the jeers for the third baseman had
died out the latter said in language all
the spectators could hear:
These darned furriners are putin
this game on the bum"

L reason to believe that as astrol-
ogy yielded to chemistry so the
science of the mind will some day
evolve a substantial basis. At present
fellow with hobby.
Using psychology as his mask, the
fool professor has broken loose again.
AS usual he calls Chicago his habita-
ton.
Read this sentence slowly" he SAYS.
"a little dog with brown curly hair
ran up the street. He had long legs
and short tail. Now repeat it. If
you can't do so correctly you are men
tally deficient. You are a moron -
according to the highbrow professor.
For instance, if you say the dog had
curly legs and ran down the street your
mental apparatus is not working prop
erly. This interesting experiment was
tried on group of fairly successful
men the other day and only a couple
out of a dozen repeated the sentence
correctly. Yet we venture to say that
they could nearly all beat the profess
sor to chips in the everyday business
game.
The latest addition to our gallery
of psychologists forgets that the abil-
ity to repeat a sentence of this kind is
simply an indication of quick men,
ory. A childs memory is more active
than a mans. Possibly normal child
should be able to pass this test, but
when a grown man of ordinarily sue
cessful attainments fails to do so It is
lust an indication that his mind has
been trained in another direction or
that his thoughts are concentrated on
more serious business.

EMPLOY HOME LABOR.

This is a good time TO anticipate
what may happen next winter 10 some
of the people OF South Bend if condi-
tons do not materially change before
that time.
Unless conditions change some Of
the people of South Bend will face a
hard winter. There are people who
have been out of employment or on
short hours most Of the summer and
have a like prospect in view for the
winter. These people are industrious.
honest and in all respects good citi-
zens. They belong TO the army of
bread winners in South Bend and are
desirable members Of the community.
If they have employment they will
take care Of themselves. if not it will
be necessary to tide them over or let
them leave town.
There are two ways of helping
them. by giving them work or by Civ
ing them aid. The former is preferred
and IL possible every desirable person
out of work should be given something
TO do by which he can earn a living
for himself and family. There are nu-
merous ways of providing employment
private and public. These ways may
be heavily taxed but it is worth while.
Each city should take care of its own
as far as possible.
South Bend has many industries.
Some Of them, the most OF them per-
haps. are busy and will be all winter.
One of the largest, the Singer plant,
has cut down its force to a small
number. because Of stagnation in its
European business. which is sixty-five
per cent OF the total. The need cf en-
ployment is likely TO be felt most by
the men who have been let out at the
big sewing machine factory.
Most of these singer men are old
employees. They are permanent citi-
zens. many of them with families and
homes. They are desirable citizens
and would be desirable employees in
any factory. They should have prefer
ence over men from the outside who
come here seeking work.

Frank b. Willis evidently cOnsld
ers himself the official Interpreter of
the Ohio republican platform. There
can be no doubt of the necessity for
such a functiOnary.
The platform is a marvel of polit-
ical cubist art. There are spots
which seem to have no meaning at
all, and others in which the meaning
has been understood much better
than the cunning craft Of the builders
foresaw.
One of the conspicuous examples
of public understanding where con-
fusion was desired is the good roads
plank. 1t declares against the state
highway department, and says that
the money should be spent by the
regularly constituted authorities of
each county"
The wise men who got up the plat
form thought they were taking
slap at the state administration. The
public knows they were taking slap
at good roads.
They thought they were deceiving
people into thinking they stood for
economy. The public knows by bit
ter experience how wasteful and in
efficient the old hap-haZard system
of road Improvement has always
been.
They thought they could fool peo-
pie with an insinuation that the state
highway department was an unneces-
sary extrava gance. The public knows
that such supervision is absolutely
essential where so much money is be-
ing spent, and that there has never
been a breath Of scandal in connec-
ton with Mr.. Markers administra-
ton.

OUR TABLOID oLAssICs.-No. 5.
The Augean Stables, or Tit for Tat.

The story of the cleaning of the

tale. IL Is devoid OF romance, but
thoroughly saturated with fiction.
lt appears that Augeas. whose
parentage is I'm dispute, was i'm the
cattle business I'm addition TO being
the ruler OF Els. He owned large
herds, but there being no sanitary
laws I'm force he permitted his
sheds TO fill up with fertilizer.
Hercules, one OF the greatest
takers in the worlds history, got
into trouble and Eurystheus, prob
ably justice OF the peace, SEN
fenced him To clean the stables of
AugeaS as one OF twelve tasks.
When Hercules inspected the job
he tried to put one over on AugeaS,
who hadn't heard of Hercules SEN
tence, by Offering TO clean the
stables in one day for One-tenth of
the herd. Augeas' accepted his
offer and Hercules fulfilled his
contract by breaking down a part
OF the wall and turning the rivers

emulation. 1t worked fine. but
about this time Eurystheus put

money on the side by refusing TO
cut out the cattle.
AugeaS' son, PhyleuS. was a wit
ness TO the contract and when the
case came up i'm court honestly
testified against his father. Augeas
then banished both of them and
kept the stock. But Hercules got
even. He returned with an army,
modified in Olcnus. slew Augeas
and set Phyleus on the throne.
The moral is. If you can't get
by with strategy. force a passage.
