ALBANY, N. Y. Aug. 6.-New
York states progressives apparently
gave their ultimatum to the republi.
cans here today. A meeting Of their
county chairmen and George w. Per
kins. national chairman, developed
general opposition against a return
to the republican party. The continr'
alton Of the progressive party and its
policy was approved and the republi-
canism declared to have sunk deep.

1.-TWO questions now affect this
country's people," Perkins said, ad-
dressing the progressives. "One con-
Germs economic conditions and the
other centers about the European
war.
"On the economic question, which
affects business and industry the
progressive party in my judgment is
the only party which Is looking for
ward with constructive program
for this country's prosperity. The
progressive leaders, too, are the ones
who are unqualifiedly and open for
national policy of preparedr sss in

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT

from one to three buildings each. Many
| of them could get work only in the sum-
mer-time or in the busy seasons at thu
factories. Thus their wages were un-
certain, but they saved little always and
acquired their property on the installment
plan.
One American, at least, took lesson
in thrift from our foreign-born citizens a
ancestry and thought he had traditions to
keep up on his $50 a week. Therefore he
had saved nothing when his thirty-eighth
birthday came around and he lost his posi-
ton. In trying to get another place he
found that from business point of view
he was considered an old man. So he and
his wife decided to start life on a new plan.
They sold their furniture for enough to pay
their debts, and rented fat for 50 week
in the italian quarter of large city. He
joined line of foreigners and got job
paying 50 a week. Out of this they saved
fifty cents-but they did not buy steak.
He studied his foreign co-laborers and
decided to become a contractor himself.
He learned everything he could about
every detail of the business and about the
men themselves. He learned Italian from
a friend and took a course of masonry at
a night trade school. He was next made
foreman at ST. day. :
The first year in the new life he and
his wife saved $500. By the end of the
third year, having had other raises, they
with the help of their boy, had saved
81, 100 which was invested. The man
watched his opportunity and became an
independent contractor. After that the
family moved back to New England and
prospered.

Fool Girls and Auto Washers.

The Mashalltown Tim es-Republi-
can: Trouble at Sioux City with the
automobile masher, road houses and
the downfall OF foolish girls suggests
danger which is present in every
town. The police matron at Sioux
! City says that so many girls are Just
| crazy" to ride in an automobile that
they fall an easy prey to the liheTtine
who drives up and invites them to
ride. It seems that there are houses
on the outskirts of town to which
these parties go for amusement. Ii
uuor, license and a ruined life follow
/ in quick succession.
| Sioux City is not alone in it's dan
ger to silly girls who will not realize
that they are being hunted as prey.
1t has been said in Marshalltown that
a young man has been known to in
vite girls to ride in his gaudy auto
mobile and then when far out in the
country give them the alternative of
submitting to insult or walk home
alone in the dark over strange roads.
Mothers and parents should warn
maidens of the auto masher. People
generally witnessing suspicious cir
cumstances should spread the alarm
Ohicials aware of the masher should
not hesitate to warn him to expect
the limit of the law when caught in
his deviltry. In fact so many young
girls are fools that they should be
treated as such by society.
The auto masher is out to destroy
them. They should be kept out of
automobile parties unless the young
man is we'll known and thoroughly
trusted. Girls who pick uo with stran-
gers and go riding upon invitation
without the close acquaintance that
would justify their acceptance invite
the man to attempt anything, because
men know that seIf-respecting girls
would not go with them. If girls
would only know that men look upon
them as fools or immoral when they
accept unwarranted advances, they
would realize that to ride with an auto
masher is the next thing to putting up
at hotel with a strange man.

MOTHER.
AS We grow older and at last are left
Without the love that seemed so
much part
OF each days life that never had we
thought
OF it as love, but simply life itself,
What is it that comes back of her
We miss
With tears more bitter because shed
so late?
Is it the loving counsels that throng
back,
The wisdom doubly priced as daily
proven?
Is it her beauty and her graciousness
That haunts me while wake, and
comes in dreams?
No, no. All day and many nights and
My mind Is filled with myriad little
things:
The way she kissed me when she tied
my hood
And sent me off to school, a little
girl;
The infinite pains she took to dress
my dolls
And make me parties with real
things to eat"
And how she'd come dozen times at
: night
To bring a drink, or comfort me,
afraid.
My grown up years seem sudden blot
ted out
And all the day and in my dreams at
night
l see her doing all the little things
That she, when we were children,
used to do.
l hear the little words she used to say
When I had hurt myself, or some
one made me cry.
But now weep; she cannot comfort
me.
And bitterest are my tears that its
to late
To say ~ do know now, how wonder
full you were!"
