within the next two weeks contracts
by which all of the remaining single
track between Charlotte. ". c.. and
Orange, Va, will be double tracked
except between Arrowhead and Elma,
a distance of fourteen miles, in Abe
marie County. Railway men believe
that it will be let to contract so that
it can be completed about the time
the work in the vicinity of New Glas-
gov Is finished. Even without this
link being finished there will only re-
main fourteen miles of single track In
a distance of 3S5 miles.

THE ORCHARD MESA DITCH AND
RESERVOIR COMPANY.
By c J. LiPPERT. President.
CENEvfEvE HARTiG. Secretary
The Delta independent., 1915-07-30

We have at present the strange fin
ancial feature of trade balance in
our favor running into thousands of
millions, without creating anything
like flush times among the people. and
without Kidding the country of the
necessity of a special tax. We're we
to use slang we would say: "Can you
beat that" In speaking Of thousands
of millions trade balance in our favor,
we should define that much per month,
for our foreign balance has been av-
eraging from half billion up to bill
lion, this last month. Being largely
for the purchase of certain lines of
war supplies, this enormous amount
naturally goes to the big business
classes, yet it is sufficiently scattered
to have made large employment de-
mand in certain lines and to have
spread out considerably in the pur-
chase of horses and food stuffs. In
fine it has saved the people from the
full force Of a Democratic administra-
ton.

FOR COMPLETE REUNION.

The Rev. Dr. Henry w. Temple.
member of the faculty of Washington
and jefferson College, Pennsylvania,
says that, in 1912. he was one of the
four million Republicans who voted
the Progressive ticket. In that year
Dr. Temple was elected to congress, as
Progressive. from the Twenty-fourth
Pennsylvania district. In recent let
ter to a Republican friend, Dr. Temple
describes the Progressive movement
as not a revolt against Republican
principles. 1t was, he adds. "in part
a protest against certain abuses that
had crept into the old organization and
in part movement to add to the older
Republican principles certain new poll
cies which would bring about better
social and industrial conditions"
Continuing. DR.. Temple says,
MANY Republicans who believe pre-
cisely as we believe stayed in the old
party and endeavored to correct it's
abuses and to work such changes as
would bring the Progressives back to
the Republican ranks. A large num-
ber of the progressives did go back
at the election of 1914, because they
we're dissatisfied with existing indus
trial conditions and many more in
Pennsylvania are going back now be-
cause the Republican party in this
state has already enacted into law
several of the more important policies
called for by the Progressive plat
form of 1912.
THE Republican party needs our
votes; it is inviting us to come back.
and, it seems to me, is ready to come
half way to meet us. With conditions
as they are, am pleased to see this
l am convinced that there
is nothing more important in Ameri-
can politics than the reunion OF these
two parties before 1916. and l intend
to do what 1 can with propriety to
bring about that reunion
This is a symptomatic statement.
While there may be a few men who
held important positions in the Pro
gressiye party who still believe in the
vitality of that movement and who will
persist in keeping up an organization
whose weakness grows more evident
from day to day. the great bulk of
leaders and of the Pro
gressive rank and file are back in the
party. and. like Dr. Temple
are doing what they can to bring about
complete reunion of the men who diff
fered in 1912 and whose differences
brought upon the country its withering
weight of Democratic woe.
