WILL GO TO WILSON,
Democratic Platform Appeals to
Many ProgreSSiVeS.
Men of Really Independent Thought
Who Supported Roosevelt Last 4
Election Not Likely to Enter
the Republican Fold.

Charles e. Hughes and his political
advisers are naturally heartened at
Colonel Roosevelt's return to the Re
publican party, but not all the Pro-
gressives who were ready to follow
their leader in another free lance move
ment will act upon his recommends
ton to support the Republican ticket.
OF the 4,119,509 votes cas- for Roose-
welt in 1912 many-how many, is a
question, of course-were avowed ina
dependents. They had been Repub-
licans but had come to feel nearer
the Democratic party than the party
of their former allegiance. Thousands
of these independents will, it is be-
Heved, vote for Wilson and Marshall
rather than for Hughes and Fair
banks.
With a split in the Republican party
four years ago Wilson had a phe,
nomenal VICTORIAN electoral vdAe
of 435 is compared with eight for
Taft and So for Roosevelt. Under
similar conditions something like the
result of the 1912 election would be
assured this year, but such political
triumphs may be expected only once
in a lifetime. But it need not be sur
prising to see a very large proportion
of the erstwhile Progressives casting
their ballots for Wilson-enough to
bring several of the doubtful states
normally Republican into the Demo-
cratic column.
The election is four months off.
Momentous things affecting the politi-
cal situation may happen between
now and the 7th of November. But
If the election were to take place to-
morrow Wilson would be an easy WIN
ner, despite the apparent fusion of Re-
publicans and Progressives.

GALICIAN W IN PANIC

London.-General Won Linsingen's
retirement across the Lipa in Galicia
is considered by the critics here as
removing the last serious obstacle to
the advance of the Russians toward
Lemberg.
Reports from Rome say that the re-
tirement of the Teutonic allies on the

where towns are being evacuated.

NEW REVENUE BILL PRAISED
Chicago Journal Points Out the Many
Good Points Contained in the
Measure.

The best of many good things about
the new revenue measure is the in
heritance tax feature. The Journal
has been working for this tax for loi
these many years, and doubtless is
somewhat prejudiced in the matter
but it feels that this alone is enough
to make almost any revenue bill enz<
durable. The levy is not so high as
could be wished, but it makes a pretty
good start. Once let the AmeTcan
people experience the justice, fitness /
and democratic value of an Inherit
ance tax, and they never can be per-
suaded to go back to the old scheme
of doubling the tariff when more
money is needed.
The income tax changes are not al
together satisfactory. 1t is all right
to increase the charge against large
incomes, but the exemption ought to
be lowered. There is no good reason
why a single man with a net income
of 5000 or a married man with ST.
600 more should not make a direct
contribution to the expense of the
government. Also, there should be a
sharp distinction between earned in
comes and those derived from inherit
ed wealth.
The munitions profit tax is frankly
emergency legislation, and must be
judged on that basis. There is no
doubt that it will bring some needed
money or that it complies with a pop
ular demand.-Chicago Journal.

Peculiar Campaign Feature.

A painful feature of the presidential
campaign is the attempt of many of
our esteemed Republican contempo-
raries to take rank in the high-brow
class. What formerly was simply he'll
fish is now 'inept;' what was once
damnable cowardice is now "incerti-
tude," and what in the good old days
was nothing less than downright DEM
ocratic idiOcy is now "fatuous." Are
we already beginning to experience
the penalties of raiding the Supreme
court of the United States in search
of a candidate?

ORDER FOR AERIAL RESERVE

Established %squadrons for IL Divisions
in National Guard.
Observation-Disclosures Wilson sign
ed an order establishing a special
a~eronautical reserve for the United
States army. The reserve will be
comprised of enough trained flyers
and expert -mechanicians to provide
an aerial squadron for each of the -
a~eronautical divisions of the National
Guard. Any civilian in any state may
join this reserve provided he has the
flying ability and the mechanical abil-
ity necessary.
The War Department views the
Presidents order as one of the most
important steps yet taken by this gov
eminent to develop military aeronau
tics on a practical and comprehensive
scale.

That Washington takes this view
OF the situation is manifest from its

are that the United States never has
contended that Americans could

Since It Is palpably impossible to

KEEPING UP HIGHWAYS

The season for working on the
highways approaches. To many
public officials, the problem OF keep
ing up the roads with the limited Az
preparations available, in face oil
modern automobile and motor truck
business, seems almost insoluele'
There are observers who say the
roads are growing worse rather than
better, in spite of the millions be-
ing spent. The road builders OF ten
years ago did not realize the heavy
strain that would have to be met.
Touring motorists say they do not
usually find the worst strips of road
in the rural districts, at least not on
the main lines of travel. They get
their worst jolts in sizable and sub
stantial towns. II is here that the
motor trucks and other heavy team
ing tear up the surface, and make
many a handsome street one long
humpy surface.
A visitor from another city was
giving some interesting experience
from his home town. The approprl'
alton for streets was cut down one
third two years ago, and no per'ia'
nent work could be attempted. The
superintendent decided that all they
could do was simply to keep the sur
face from growing worse. So the
men filed up every little hollow. they
could find, and rolled it down sol
idly.
As soon as new hollows started
they were filed and rolled, When
heavy showers came, the water ran
off and formed few puddles. There
were no depressions in which heavy
trucks could get leverage, and
grind out still deeper holes. II was
his opinion that under this policy OF
watchfulness, the roads had held
their own and probably improved
though with smaller expenditure.
1t Is OF course a mistake to stoT
permanent work on the roads. Ev
cry municipality should do some o.
1t each year. But the policy OF con
slant watchfulness to stop hollow
from enlarging into holes will d.
wonders. A shovelful In little dc
preston today may save cartloa,

LUMBER P,LlNG APPARATUS

Through the utilization Of power
driven piling machine of recent de-
velopment, lumber stacks in some of
the big yards in different cities are
being carried to heights as great as
AZ feet. The appearance of these
yards Is very striking, but the signif.
icant feature is represented in the
economic phase OF the change which
is taking place. The stacking ma
chine is cutting the cost of piling and
unpiling lumber, economizing space,
lessening the cost of roofing lumber
and pile bases, and also lowering la.
Dor costs.
The machine will handle boards of
any width not greater than is inches
hor thicker than inches and In
lengths from to "a feet. 1t may be
moved from one stack to another
readily and will unpile a stack just
as rapidly as 1t builds it. In addition
to its other functions, the apparatus
furnishes an effective fire lighting
equipment, as shown by an illustra'
tion in the March Popular Mechanics
Magazine. At the upper end of a
large pipe extending to the top OF
the stacker monitor nozzle Is
mounted. In case of fire breaking
out in a yard, fire hose may be con
nected at the lower end of the pipe
The machine then becomes fire

PUBLIC DANCES

The season just before Lent Is
time when in large towns and many
small ones, big public dances are
held. Firemcn, police. hospitals
lodges, have annual glorifications'
The philosophical observer finds
these functions not lacking in human
interest since they assemble such
various types OF people. An organic
alton may be aristocratic. But usu.
ally 1t needs funds, and the price OF
q ticket from almost anyone looks
good. However, II 1t is desired to
be very choice, raising the admission
is supposed to assure all virtue. But
not every man who wears dress
suit" is gentleman.
People who attend many such az
fairs in various cities say they have
never seen more freak dancing than
this year. When the dance craze was
at it's height, the dancers were at
least attending classes, usually I'M
der teachers possessing some sense.
Many eccentricities were toned down.
Now all the younger sets have
learned a repertoire OF new steps.
with originally improvised variations.
They have become convinced that
for style It Is necessary to hop, skip,
jump, wiggle, and twist. Sedate per-
sons watch with amazement and de-
plore the new dancing.
The old steps though have regain
ed much of former vogue. Old tim
ers who occupied the wall while The
kids were tangoing, are again cutting
jocund pigeon wings in quadri'les and
contras. The festive voice of the
prompter again resounds, though one
sometimes needs a practised ear to
tell what he says.
The diversion would be far more
healthful II 1t did not cover such un'
earthly hours. II was one of the
merits of the recent dance craze hat
it was mostly done in classes taking
a two hour session and sending peo'
