FINHE Democratic party in Pennsylvania is
L not a mere party of opposition. 1t has a
constructive program or its own. In late
years it has not been afraid to say what it
stands for. 1t has been fair and frank with
the people.
In 1912, when the Republican party wrote
no platform at all, because its convention was
captured by the Progresslves, if the Demo-
Gratis had been mere opportunsts they would
have written a platform in contrast with the
progressive program of the Washington
party so to win the support Of Repub-
leans already disgusted with the Finn
Roosevelt leadership.
Democracy's Greatest Achievement
But we cast aside proffered support from
such a quarter unanimously adopted a real
progressive platform and got behind the
movement which forever divorced the Demo-
cratic party from reactionary control by the
nomination of Woodrow Wilson for Presi-

In 1918, our State Committee, in no un-
certain terms, called upon the Legislature
to redeem the pledges Of the two parties
which had made platform promises to the
people, and sent committee to Harrisburg
to work for the promised reforms in cooper
alton with others there. regardless of their
party affiliations. In 1914 our party was the
first to declare it's position upon State ques-
tons. Its candidates for Governor and Sen
ator, long before the primary, announced the
platform upon which they asked support and

In addition, she herself has starred. In her article Miss Grey presents wealth of stories of her personal experiences. Following is a story she tells of William t'a- versham:

HONOR TO JUDGE LOWE

There is not a citizen of this state who is doing better work for the peo- pie than is Judge Lowe of Kansas City, president of the Old Trails as sociation Judge Lowe is man or ample wealth who does not need a dollar. hence he is able to devote his entire time to the subject of good roads.
 Aproros Of this topic. Judge Lowe IS right when he says that the only road is a graveled or macadam road. Judge Lowe does not mean that the farmers should neglect their dirt roads: but he has the courage to tell the farmer that dirt road is at best but a makeshift and that the country can never realize it's full value until it secures rock or gravel roads.
 America is a large country and Mis- sour is a large state, but good roads can be had by the right method. The time is coming when a picture of Judge Lowe will adorn every country parlor in the land.

CALHOUN WAS FOR CANALS

 They Were Practicable

Gradually the intercoastal canal system. which was with enthusiasm and great detail advocated by John C. Calhoun when he was secretary of war in the cabinet of President Mon roe is approaching completion. all though it is nearly one hundred years since Calhoun favored the plan. He demonstrated both by argument and by figures that it was practicable to construct a far-reaching inter coastal canal or canalized system by means of which trading vessels could without exposure to the dangers of the sea of any enemy sail or naVi- gate from Massachusetts Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.

COURTESY DOES PAY.
Pennsy Agent Did an Act of Kindness
and Was Commended.

The Pennsylvania railroad has pub
lished a letter recently received from
man passing through Williamsport-
Pa, regarding what he saw done by
the station agent at that place. 1t
was not a great exploit; to many peo-
pie busy people, it may seem trivial
thing.
A woman passenger, a foreigner,
with several small children, was wait
ing in the station. The children were
tired and hungry; the woman a
stranger in a strange land. She did
not know where to go nor what to do.
The station agent took in the situa-
ton. He got food for the little group,
and when he learned they would have
to remain over night before they could
get a train to their destination, he saw
that they were cared for, and sent on
their way refreshed and happy the
next day.
The station agent thought little of
the matter; it was all in the days
work. His kindness would never have
become public except for the letter of
a passenger who had witnessed the act
and thought it worth commencing to
the company.
