Mr.. Wilson should understand this;
The country will not be influenced in
the coming election by his words but
by his deeds. He is in position to
act. II he had performed to the
satisfaction of the people he would
have no fear of the result. 1t is be-
cause he knows he has not acquitted
himself satisfactorily that he resorts
to political campaigning at time
when he should address himself sole
Iy to the patriotic work assigned to
him.-Pittsburgh Gazette-Times.

mo Progressive Can Reject Hughes

About four out Of every five Pro-
gressives will approve the action of
the Progressive national committee in
yielding to the fine and patriotic letter
of Theodore Roosevelt and indorsing
Charles Evans Hughes for the presi-
dency.
The act was absolutely logical. 1t
was inevitable. 1t but ratified Il
movement that had already occurred.
No one can question the clean heart
and settled mind with which a Pro
gressive can support Mr.. Hughes
AS Dean Lewis Of Pennsylvania said
He is our kind Of a man, and there
is every prospect that he will have
some day as stern fight as we had
with the very men whom we fought
in 1912"
Only the absurd letter from the Ida
no progressiyes attacked or criticised
Mr. Hughes in any way, and that was
so foolish that the committeeman re-
ceived it as simply huge wild west
ern joke.
The truth is-and it is perfectly ev-
ident now-that no progressive can
logically reject Mr.. Hughes as un-
worthy of his support. He may pre-
fer Mr.. Wilson, but he cannot urge
progressivism as bar to support OF
Mr.. Hughes.
Mr.. Roosevelt has rarely appeared
to better advantage than he does in
saying those words which-howeveI
true and logical they may be-certain-
ly represent the final laying aside OF
his just and unselfish hope that the
task of reconstructing positive
Americanism might be intrusted il
his hands. His Endorsement of Mr.
Hughes is detailed and complete. He
even goes so far as to take from Mr.
Hughes all blame for the German
American Endorsements and assume
the responsibility himself.
Mr.. Hughes in his kilograms sent
to the progressive national committee
after it had disbanded repeats his
platform statements, adding to them a
specific Endorsement Of some Of thc
progressive principle. But that part
of his telegram that will really touch
the progressivcs is his simple word OF
fellowship with them and invitation to
common servico.-Chicago Evening
Post, Pro- Roosevelt.

The Melting Pot Was Great Success

The chautauqua program has been
so uniformly good that patrons had
grown to expect excellencies from the
producers, but even in fact of this
fact, the immense house was not pre-
pared for the masterpiece as present
ed in "The Melting Pot" last evening
With all of the pent-up fires of
souls who have touched hand with
life's real tragedies, their words ring
ing true and penetrating like those
whose natures have been scared in
the white heat Of disillusionment, the
actors laid bare the intent Of the
writer, and at no instant was the
house out of touch with the play.
Such a blending of aspiration, Wis
ioning, hopefulness and prayer, back
grounded against realities as start
lingly cruel as pen or the mind may
make them, will perhaps never be
presented The story is one written
by Israel Zangwill, and is replete
with a tingling of life-touch, riveting
the spectator to the facts inescapable.
Truly have advance and publicity
said that "The Melting Pot" is pre-
sented by an all-star cast. Nothing
could have been truer. There is not a
weak member in the cast, neither is
there a feeble line in the play. 1t is
a strong place for strong actors, and
no mistake has been made in the dis
tribution Of the parts.
In the hearts of Amarillo people
THE Melting Pot" is destined to live
and move. Its penetrative qualities
were pronounced, and the lessons in
tended to be conveyed may not be over
looked by the most Indifferent. The
production was more than acting
merely; it was the delivery Of start
ling message in a most extraordinary
way. Amarillo citizens failing TO see
"The Melting Pot are unfortunate.
Amarillo has never had a greater
performance than "The Melting Pot"
and it is improbable that It will have
its equal in long while.
Following is the cast participating
in the presentation Of the play, and
it is simple justice to say that they
are entitled TO classification with real
interpreters Of the spirit Of the com
poser:

How Milan's Plan Failed.
King Milan of Serbia-himsel

stigmata of degeneracy.
The king therefore decided
that the crown prince should mar
ry an American!
Her clean vitality would
strengthen the rotted constitution
hereditary in all royal families!
Milan demanded only that the
bride bring dowery of $40, 000,-
600, of which he should appro-
pirate one half, the bridegroom
one quarter, and the remaining
100000 be spent on agents
commissions, palace furnishings
and wedding expenses.
Three transatlantic candidates
for queenhood were discovered,
but their hard-headed fathers
insisted the stipulated dowery
should be settled on the Ameri-
can queen and her male heirs.
Milan's practical plan fell
through, Alexander died child
less, and his dynasty ended.
