Maybe SO and maybe not. But at any
rate the presentation to New York So
ciety Of the Gibson Girl, the Second, who
at the same time is the only real, flesh
and blood Gibson girl. gives rise to all
these questions.
She is Miss Irene Gibson. and young
and handsome. straight Of back and
1.-the Of figure, she IL the irresistible,
sunny-hearted American girl and true to
the type immortalized by her father.
Moreover, she is the perfect picture Of her
mother, who was once the lovely Miss
Irene Langhorne. famed far and wide for
her beauty and the original model for the
Gibson girl.
The social world of New York which
Is unfolding to Miss Gibson is for her a
wonderful place. The Gibsons move In
the best of society and their social con-
nections through relationship and mar
riage are of the highest. So by teas, by
balls, receptions and operas and all the
other ponderous machinery of society the
handsome Gibson Girl. the Second, Is be-
ing propelled through the season" and
is charming all who come In contact with
her.
But I am not Of any importance. you

For it is actually the Langhorne girl

progressive and social justice measures,
In 1909 and 1911, the men who later
joined the progressive party controlled,
to large extent, in the affairs of state.
In 1918 and 1915, they were on the out
side. Progressive principles in other
words, had a better chance Of victory in
this state before the birth of the third
party.
It is futile to hope that the progress
sive party can gain control. It can
merely serve to defeat one or the other
of the established parties, and that can,
not possibly be enough reason for sep
arate existence. The thing to do, then,
is to apply the progressive strength in
a practical way to accomplish definite,
actual, beneficial results in human, con
structive legislation and administra-
ton. That can be done far better when
the progressives use their influence
within the other parties rather than
holding aloof.
AND WHEN THAT PROGRESS
SIVE INFLUENCE FINALLY CON
trolls AGAIN IN THIS STATE, AS
1T MUST BEFORE LONG, THEN
ALL PARTIES WILL BE WIPED
OUT, AND WASHINGTON, LIKE,
CALF ORNIA, WILL BE NON PAR
TISAN AND FREE.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1915-05-01

Is there any reason why the progress
sive party should continue as separ-
ate political party in this state?
Z The Times believes not.
Having successfully checked grow
ing oligarchy in this government in the
memorable election of 1872 the pro-
gressive party has accomplished it's
work. It has been able to jolt a few
bosses loose from the reins of govern
ment-and that has been good thing
for the country.
Aside from that, the progressive
party has accomplished nothing. In
this state, the reactionary element has
gained, through the third party exist
ence, control it never could have OBJ
tanned otherwise. In 1909 and in 1911,
the legislature, overwhelmingly repub-
lican, was of progressive complexion.
During these two sessions, some of
the most important progressive laws
were enacted; as examples, woman suf
frage, workman's compensation act,
the eight hour law for women, the init
iative, referendum and recall amend
ments.
In 1913, following the birth of the
third party, the legislature fell into the
control of the old guard, and in 1918 the
reactionaries rode rough-shod over all

CORRUPT
ALLIANCE

SYRACUSE, N. Y, May 1. -
Testimony of corrupt political
alliance between Barnes republic
cans and Tammany democrats
was given yesterday afternoon b.
three former state senators and 4
newspaperman.
All swore that In 1910 Barnes
caused the defeat of the dircet
primaries bill, endorsed by Roose-
Welt and Gov. Hughes, by herding
together IA republicans and IA
Tammany democrats.
All four told the same story:
that Barnes had come to the state
house, had summoned Sen. Graf
tan, a republican, to an office,
and that thereafter the Tammany
leaders also entered the room.
That evening, by vote of demo-
Gratis and republicans, the assem-
bly, adjourned without having
acted on the primaries bill.
Former Senator Hughes said
he had gone to Grattan immedi-
ately, and charged him with hav-
ing entered into the conspiracy
with the democrats, and that
Grattan answered: I'VE admit
it."
L. W.. Young, head of the
Young Mems Republican club of
Brooklyn, said that Barnes had
told him that direct primaries
were wrong because any candi-
date could be destroyed If the
lime-light were thrown on him.
Young said he had disagreed with
this view.

Mrs. Bertha Diffley who was

the second degree.
Superior Judge Card sustained
the demurrer of her attorney, A.

properly drawn up, in that it al
legged two crimes where only one
is allowable by law, and in that
the charges against her were not

She is charged with second-de-

degree assault also--and this re-

agree, would give the prosecution
a great leverage in the case.
In addition, the complaint
filed today charged one set OF

 One cannot help becoming nervous and feeling tired and worn out when the kidneys fail to filter and throw out of the system the poisonous waste matter that causes kidney troubles and bladder ailments.
 Backache Is one of Natures danger signals that the kidneys are elogged up and inactive. It Is often followed by rheumatism. annoying bladder or urinary disorders, puffy swellings under the eyes, swollen ankles and painful joints.
 Foley Kidney Pills get right at the source of trouble. They invigorate the kidneys to healthy action and when the kidneys properly perform their functions the poisonous waste matter is eliminated from the system. Sold every where.
