"HONEY DAY"

November 25, besides being Thanks.
giving Day, was Honey Day At
least, so it was nominated by the
Association of Bee Keepers Of the
United States. and was celebrated dis
such In many communities, particular.
ly in the West.
The celebration consisted, of course.
In eating honey, or in the case of n
family given TO that pleasant pastime,
eating more honey than usual.
The bee men all agree that It's a
most excellent habit to get into. They
insist that honey Is conducive to sound
health and long life. and point proudly
to the fact that out of q list of several
hundred Ccntenarians and nonagenar-
ians recently published, many were
said to be habitual honey eaters.
Others of that list were habitual
candy.eatcrs, and virtually all of them
habitual ~Cgg.eatcrs and brcad.eaters,
but let that pass, together with the
fact that the list has been used to
prove the efficacy of beer, whiskey
and tobacco as guarantees OF u long
life.
Honey, at any rate, is a fine and
wholesome article OF diet which isn't
adequately appreciated and which
might well be produced and eaten In
larger quantities.
BY the way. while we're about II,
why shouldn't We have a potato day.
an apple day, q beef day, a mutton day
and a turnip day? There are plenty OF
days left.

THE PRoGRESSIVeS
A

The executive committee of the Ma
tional Progressive party has decided.
that the party will hold a convention
next year and nominate a candidate
for presidency. The committee has
also given the impression hat Theo.
rode Roosevelt is likely to be the
party's candidate again.
This is decidedly interesting. II
means, on the face of it, that the new
party may not be so nearly defunct
as Republicans and Democrats have
supposed. 1t may mean that a very
shrewd judge of American opinion has
decided that there in a fighting chance.
Moreover, if Col. Roosevelt is 10 be
the standard bareT, IL may be possible
to guess what sort of issue the party
Will put forward. The internal pro-
gram represented by the Progressive
platform in 1912 is no longer consid.
cred vital! even by extreme Progress.
Ewes. Many of the principles il ad.
Vocatcd have been quietly appropriate
ed by h other parties. and are in
process of absorption into national
life. Social Justice" is no longer the
potent slogan that 1t was.
Col. Roosevelt has seemed concern
cd lately far more with our inter.
national relations. He has been urg.
ing great military and naval prepar.
edness and militant assertion of A.
merican rights and principles abroad.
Can 1t be- that We are 10 have n ma
tional Prosressiv" campaign based on
such an issue?

AMERICAN TRADE.


The action of President Wilson IN
sending a note to the British govern
ment demanding that they cease to
interfere with American foreign trade
in the future and that they modify
their stringent actions that have led
them to tie up in English ports over
five millions of dollars worth of meat
alone, came as great surprise to Eng
land.
There was some talk of giving the
matter no consideration and for Eng
land to proceed as though the note had
not been received, but cooler and wiser
counsel prevailed and the matter will
be carefully considered ana friendly
reply returned.
1t is the we'll known custom of the
British government to push the spirit
of their diplomacy just as far as they
dare in dealing with other nations
when their interests are much jeopar-
died; this they will doubtless do with
President Wilson.
If Roosevelt was now in the presi-
dental chair the matter would I'M
doubtedly be brought to more prompt
understanding and more quickly CLOSED
than will be the case with Wilson. The
reason would be that the English know
what to expect from Roosevelt anc
L. Urn0l
amount of dilly dalIying. With Wiser
itamay prove different for they have
never tested him nor has he been tried
save in the Mexican matter and in that
he was very moderate and forbearing
In the face of the Mexican record, the
diplomacy promises to De long drawn
out. In the mean time American trade
with neutral natios will continue to
