 A. ROGRESS ... ROSPfRITY
A STUDY OF POLITICS.

Of the millions of people through out the land there are perhaps not one in every hundred or so who have more than a smattering of political knowledge. They know there are cer- tain offices that certain men are run hing for office, and that each particu- lar official if elected, will have cer- etain duties to perform. Beyond that they know nothing.
 Men, women and the growing youth of the country should know politics, not of the subterfugal order of gang or ring rule, but politics of an econo- mic nature. We have arrived at vii tai stage in our country's history when our success as a nation will depend largely upon our knowledge of how to properly manipulate the wheels of government with under standing. That can come only through an intimate knowledge.
 On a basis of reasoning we ought to know relatively as much of poli- tics as of the general affairs in which we take an interest. We cannot deny ourselves this knowledge on tho ground of lack of time, for we have time for other things. And to know politics does not mean that one has to have an expert knowledge such as one could require in his or her busi- ness. It is possible to have a good layman view and yet be far from expert.
 Naturally the question of what will be the good of all this, to what result will it bring us and what benefit will accrue, arises.
 In the first place, a general know ledge of political affairs will mean a better governed, and therefore more prosperous county, if that alone is attained it will have been worth while, and yet there are other issues involved as well. Wide spread poli- tical knowledge means the death knell of gag rule and underhand play and that such can in many inst ances be accomplished is because of the fact that comparatively people know what is being done. All we know is the result after it is all over. oyer.. And alas! sometimes too late for remedy.
 General knowledge of politics on the part of the public will mean also that officials without reference to any past, present or future, but in con- crete sense, will strive more so to work unselfishly for the interests of the people.
 It will insure the candidacy of good men for office, since the public's in formation will demand such. It will mean that offices will be maintained upon a high plane and those officers which are in many instances more ef him than help, will be abolished.
 It will mean that wastes which oc. cur willingly and without any espc' cial blame on any particular set oi men can be eliminated. Generally speaking, officeholders are but cogs in the wheel of great system and the system is the accumulation o knowledge or the lack of it. Public sentiment, backed by knowledge i' the most powerful weapon for goot in the world. Public sentiment baset on ignorance is little short of tru' madness.
 The fact that today we await fc some great calamity to occur befor' we take action, before sentimen crystalizes and forces action is an in dication that first-hand knowledg ..,r,.ld l,oxyn uvs,s.tad q nj

endeavor and action. Communities, in very fact,
are based upon the progressive principle of look

dissatisfaction is but an evidence of this desire
and the despised "knocker" is inspired by civic
ideal and is only at work in the wrong and disas-

Only Meant for the Film.

The dignified and altogether re-
spected Lillian Brown Leighton,
comedienne of the Selig Zoo company
OF fun makers, was ruthlessly dragged
into the police station few days ago
and given something which strongly
resembled the third degree. Instead
of arousing indignation, various mem
bers of the aggregation present
laughed and passed ribald remarks
about. 1t seems that Miss Leighton
had been arrested while pulling a Pc
culiar stunt while in black face. How
ever, as the whole thing, including the
police station, was a studio comedy
scene. the fair name of the enchanting
Miss Leighton is safe. The indications
are that the Coincidence has put over
