WHEN HER0ISM WAS WASTED
Small soys Sadly Disappointed In the

Went Forth 10 Fight.

A small 1rvington boy discovered
one evening light flashing titfully
from the window of his neigh boris
chicken house The neighbor was
away from home, so it could not be y
legitimate invader OF the hennery.
The small boy felt the thrill OF the
situation and set his wits to work

struck that locality with the result
that there was an abundance OF mi

youthful general had organized an air

bolster up each others courage, were

two with strict instructions to shoot

Then a bunch of picked warriors,
their deadly weapons ready for In.
stant use, sneaked under cover of
fence nearer TO the danger zone to
learn whether anything could be
heard. All was quiet In fact the
light had disappeared from the win
dow. Marveling much, the scouting
party withdrew TO their former sta
tion for a conference. when loi the
light shone forth again. Here was an
element OF mystery that certainly
added spice to the adventure, but It
was also awe-insplring.
Then some one more obseryant than
the rest discovered that the ghastly
illumination was a reflection from an
arc light at the street corner half q
square away.-Indianapolis News.

the business men of Oakland to deco
rate their places of business next week.
Let US get together and do something
to help liven up things. Put the city
IN holiday trim. 1t will require a few
hours time, a little work and possibly a
dollar or two, but it will pay. 1t will
be big advertisement for Oakland.
Other towns do it. Why not Oakland?
Second street ought to have hundreds
of flags hanging out. Who will take
the lead? The town will be full of peo-
pie to enjoy holiday There will be
street parades, and there ought to be
street decorations, store decorations.
Will there be? Is there life enough
left in Oakland to do what ought to be
done on an occasion like this? Make

General Macdonald Says They Cannot
Win But Will Fight to Defeat the
G. 0. P.

Following is reprint of a clipping
from the Baltimore Star of September
18th indicating the real attitude of the
Progressives as stated by General J. 5.
Macdonald, their state chairman. This
rather remarkable statement certainly
demonstrates the fulitity OF any Mary
land voter supporting the Progressive
ticket:
Realizing that they cannot win them
selves, the Maryland Progressives will
fight this fall to prevent the election of
Republican candidates. This remark.
able admission was made by Gen. ].
Stuart Macdonald, the Bull Moose
state leader, while discussing the Mary
lander's audience with Colonel Roose-
welt in New York several days ago.
Those one-time Progressives who
were lured over to the Republican
party by vision of the loaves and fishes
will miss their guess" declared the
General. They made a guess and
tried to land with winning party, but
they guessed wrong, for the MARYLAND
Progressives will see that the Repub-
licans are defeated this fall. We know
we cannot win ourselves, but we pro-
pose to make sure that the Republicans
don't win. We propose to go after all
who Colonel Roosevelt has excoriat-
ed in connection with the Chicago con-
vention. -
The Progressive leader was asked
whether his forces proposed to visit
their vengeance on Republican candi-
dates who have risen up since 1912.
Those men have chosen their own
path and they will have to abide by it.
The Progressives propose to have it de-
monstrated once and for all that a Pro-
gressive party does exist and that it is
a force to be considered" was the re-
ply.
In reply to the available timber with
in the Bull Moose party for the sena-
torlal nomination General Macdonald
named several men from various sec
tons of the state who might be POSSIBLE
tiles. Asked whether he considered
them big enough men for the Senate,
the leader replied: That does not
matter. None of them will win, so WHY
talk about whether a man is big
enough?"

that Roosevelt will make no attempt to

Dogs Cover Belgian Retreat.

The Belgian newspaper Patrlote
gives the following story:
"A battery of Belgian mitrailleuses
was surrounded when their ammuni-
ton was exhaused, but the men de-
termined to make rush with dubbed
rifles, using their bavonets as daggers.
AS everybody familiar with Belgium
knows, dogs are everywhere used for
hight draft, and mitrailleuse batteries
are drawn mostly by fine animals See
ing their masters rorghly treated in a
hand-to-hand fight, the dogs joined in
so effectually as to enable the gunners
to break through, while the dogs cover
ed their retreat.

beasts in his arms, for it had a bullet

Iican State Central Committee, author
ICES the following statement:
I'm this day every man has right to
his opinion and his action, within the
law. Respecting the New York an
nouncement, there is little to say ex-
cept that we have no quarrel with the
individuality worthy gentleman present
at the meeting. Our fight is with the
Democracy, as represented by the Dem
cratic nominee, Senator John Walter
Smith. and opposed by liberal Republi-
canism, represented by Col E. C. Car
rlngton, the Republican nominees for
the United States Senate, and the Re-
publican nominees for the House.
Maryland is border state, and Re-
publicanlsm has had to fight, and has
successfully fought. an entrenched
Democratic foe. Every war and every
battle demonstrates the vital need of a
union of forces to mutually oppose a
common enemy. The amalgamation of
1913 was, therefore advisable, and was
carried through with very substantial
success, inasmuch as the $1,000 votes
cast in the 1912 election diminished to
1000 in 1913 for the Progressive candi-
date. This decrease should be acceler-
ated, for meantime the operation of
Democratic principles, notably, the
imposition of tariff cut down to
practical free trade, have brought I'M
precedented hard times, idleness and
business inactivity. Democratic poll
cies, not foreign wars, caused these de-
pressed conditions, for they had come
upon US in full measure before single
gun was fired.
1--WE have reasons, therefore, to ex-
pect the support of all Republicans and
liberal-minded citizens. Votes placed
elsewhere are wasted. We believe we
can trust to the political judgment and
business sense of the rank and file of
all elements of the Maryland electorate,
who can see that the early restoration
of Americans prosperity depends on the
Ire-establishmenC of a reasonable and
adequate protective tariff. The clear
and only way to aid in the Republican
registration and supporting in the cleo
ton of the Republican candidates for
Senate and House."
