lators call home those "who stood at Ar
mageddon and did battle for the Lord?
The Tribune does not believe it. II be-
lieves that if the Republican party is to
live to perform a useful and permanent
service in this county it must not merely
enlist the men and women driven out in
1912. but it must recognize and advocate
a measure and real measure of the
things which the Progressive party advo-
Gated. not the extreme and the unreason-
able. but those which, however vague and
indefinite in actual outline, looked toward
the improvement of the conditions of hui
man life and work, the protection and the
defence of the less fortunate by govern
mental activity.
The Free Soil movement Of 1S4S did not
survive the next election. It's political eff
feet was comprehended in the defeat Of
one Democratic President, and after that
defeat the Democrats four years later did
not hesitate to adopt a policy Of reaction,
to look backward and to refuse to recog-
nize what was real and permanent IN
national effort that had cost them control
of the nation for four years. But this re-
fusal ended in the exile Of the Democratic
party from power from the administration
of Buchanan TO that Of Cleveland. Is it
too much to believe that there is a real
and vital analogy between the revolt Of
I848 and that Of 1912?
One thing is becoming fairly certain.
The Albany situation must now be viewed
as a national, not a state, problem Not
many months from now the Republican
party Of the nation will have to decide
whether to repudiate or accept as its own
the record that week by week is being
written at the State Capitol. From this
there can be no escape, and if the record
is adopted what will be the result eX-
pressed in terms Of Progressive votes in
1916?
1t is a minor incident to condemn
few women in Western New York to
twelve hours a day in canning factory
TO condemn women and children alike. It
is purely local circumstance to surren-
der tenement dwellers on the East Side OF
New York to the tender mercy Of owners
unchecked by law. It is merely a paro-
chial detail to establish the principle that
dollars seem more important than health
to a Republican Legislature.
But the cumulative effect Of all these
acts is not merely a matter for local con-
Germ. It has already become national.
All over the country attention is being
fixed upon Albany, and a national audi
ence is beginning to ask if what is being
done there is the expression Of the spirit
and the purpose of the Republican party
as now constituted and led.

From South America TO the Fair.

Second only to the vast exodus Of North
Americans to Europe in a normal season is
that Of South Americans. From Rio de
Janeiro, from Buenos Ayres, from Monte
yideo and Santiago and the lesser cities of
the north the Other Americans have been
wont to invade the Old World, travelling
in luxurious liners with fabulous letters of
credit to reap their harvest Of pleasure
on the Continent. But this year Paris
their favorite objective, holds as few at
fractions for them as for us. Even Italy
and Spain are under the baleful shadow
Of the great conflict. They must find some
other playground.
The remark, therefore, Of Mr.. William
Saenz-Valiautc. Of Bueuos Ayrcs, a recen,
arrival in New York that many Of his
countrymen are coming to visit the Pan
ama-Paciic Exposition, has a special sig
nifcance. Where else can they turn in
their restlessness for the festivities, the
adventure, the civilized accommodations
associated with their foreign travel? II
the authorities of the exposition have been
wise they have devoted a generous appro-
priation to advertising their highly at
tractivc show in the South American
cities. If. like q great many other Amer.
leans, however, they have forgotten that
South America exists, let them get busy
Immediately in a campaign TO lead the
wealthy South Americans to their gates
With the gradual return Of prosperity to
neutral markets, in which South America
will undoubtedly share, the response to
such efforts will be increasingly fattering
and result in a lasting increment Of good
will and of understanding between the two
continents.

TIRE RECORDS TOLD
 BY RETAIL DEALERS
Record of Adjustments on Diamond
 Tires Astonishingly Small-"No Trouble at AlI'

Letting tire retailers tell motorists what a certain make of tire does in the way of giving satisfaction and mileage is new plan of trade promotion insti- tuted by Diamond tires, Akron, O.
 The Diamond factory has compiled a unique book of letters in which Dia- mond retailers tell what Diamond tires did in 1914 in the way of big sales and few adjustments.
 The book at the same time Is an ex- pression from the retailers Of their reasons for carrying the same line in 1915 as that they made such success of in the previous year.
 The expressions from the retailers run all the way from records of 5000 and more miles from Diamonds they used personally, to records of their sales and adjustments.
 One man says he sold 20o0 castings and had only half dozen adjustments. And these tires were not brought in on account of being defective, but were bruised by sharp stones," he writes.
 Another man made the unique record of selling 4000 Diamond tires with only two adjustments A third man went tnrOuS1 the eHliTe year W1Cn only one tire out of all he sold coming back for adjustment.
 Speaking of Diamond tire perform ances, a dealer wrote: We feel reason ably sure that everyone will not only be advertisement to ourselves, but great boost for the Diamond tire.
 A dealer in the east reported his ad- justments so small he hadn't given it any thought whatever" Another who handles all lines said he had Feast trouble with Diamond tires"
 sThe book is full of similar reports which are considered of special interest to motorists It is believed that the service rendered by tire can we'll be judged by the unbiased reports of the men who sell them and the showing of Diamonds on no replacements Is con sidered remarkable.

SHELL FRAGMENTS
 BRING HIGH PRICES
Retail at S2.50 a Pound. Law Suit at HatlepOOl
 Over 47-pOund Piece

London, February 0.-(Correspondenee of the Associated Press )-Fragments of shell thrown by the Germans upon West Hartlepool during the December naval raid are no wfetching such a high price as souvenirs that bricklayer and a real estate agents recently went to law over a portion of a shell. The piece weighed 47 pounds, and retailed at s250 a pound. so the claimants stated.
 The rclics was found in a gutter by a
 hricllayer named Spoors. Being it's dis
 coverer, Spoors claimed the shell as his.
 Gibmon, the estate agents, heard of this
 and proceeded to prove that the shell struck house belonging to a client, whom he held to be the rigktful owner. As the -clent renouneed the title, Gibbon
 claimed ownership and proceeded to take the piece from Spoors on the ground that he intended to send it as a present tc Lord Furness.
 Before giving judgment to Gibbon, Judge Bonsey of the county court said he would not give half-penny for the shell and thought that anyone who would pay G20 sterling for 1t a fool. If the Germans paid few more visits to Hartlepool the judge thought the market price of shells would drop so low that people would not even bother to pick up the fragments.
