THE Interesting thing for all polite
ians to remember Is that the progress

gether ouinumber either party. / ven
turo to say they outnumber both par
ties put together. This country is PRO
greBsive and If you youngsters are go.
ing TO be IN the running you will throw
in your fortunes with tho party o
which the progrcssiyes have the con.

Says lie Is Progressive.
81 am progressive do not spell
1t with II capital p hut think my pace
Is just as fast as those who do. II
does not interfere with the running
and i am very much astonished Ia
see the company that some gentlemen
who spell their name with a capital
are keeping. They are engaged in the
interesting enterprise OF trying to cap.
ture party which is fortified against
them, and refusing to enter a party
which already captured those who he
lieve in their principles. The intellec-
tual processes by which they arrive
at their conclusions are entirely OBJ
scured 10 my intelligence.
But you will notice that a party
that merely wants control does not
have to have any principles, that is the
reason why surprise that a program
has not been announced is unreason-
able. Look over the ranks OF the sup
porters OF the Republican party. Did
you ever see more motley company
in your life? Did you ever see Gle
ments so absolutely contradictory OF
each other as the elements OF that
party? II they moved In any direction
they would have to move in many di-
rectlons; and II | am tieing with one
or another, it is very dangerous for
me TO profess my opinion.
Back Of that party arc those who
want 10 inject into our politics, tn,
politics OF Europe; but moi all wht
have that purpose in mind are on the
same side. Some whit to inject thost
politics in order to move in one direc
/ ton, and others want to inject then
in order TO move In exactly the oppos
ito direction. In these circumstances
II Is not wise to announce your dlrec
ton. Some of them are Progressives
or wcro, and profess themselves dis
satisfied with tho present Leadership
and guidance of the party, and other
arc so well satisfied with it that the,
are afraid that the entrance OF thi
new element will disturb some Of thcl
! faVorite plans. and so, looking at eacl
other with suspicion. they have on,
enthusiasm and that is the enthusiasm
10 get in. see in my minds ey,

the agreement arrived at in the Sussex
case,
Reports OF the sinking Of nearly
400 merchant ships since June have
been received officially but in no case
has it been proved that American
lives were endangered. Until such
proof is at hand. the situation VIII
remain just as has been since May
s. when the American reply was sent
accepting Germany's Reputation, of
FER OF reparation and assurances for
the future in the Sussex case.
Emphatic denials that Germany,
has any intention of reopening a re
lentless campaign OF submarine war
fare are contained in confidential az
vices from Berlin to diplomatic quar-
tiers here.
All dispatches received by diplo-
mats friendly TO the Teutonic allies
are described as clearly idicating that
Germany intends fully to live up to
its assurances.

NEW FREIGHT RATES
ORDERED SUSPENDED

of tho country, Some of them pro-
fessod this very openly and some Of
them practised II without protesting H.
Refers to Hamilton.
THE theory OF Alexander Hamilton,
who founded the FederaliBt party, was
that tho best kind OF government is
government by guardians and trustees.
and that only those, who represented
the great material enterprise Of the
country. are capable Of acting AZ trus-
tees and guardians. so that throughout
the period when the Federalist party
was IN control the whole idea was that
n small group of carefully planning
men should govern opinion and control
administrative action in the United
States.
"The Wing party, when it arose. had
somewhat more liberal conception,
but before IL had lasted very long II
acted upon exactly the same principle
that the great body Of the people is
not capable of doing its own thinking.
and that a small group OF persons must
be allowed to do rs thinking for II,
and the Republican party has inherited
that idea; not the idea of government
by the people. but OF government for
the people and control Of the people
by those who govern II.

Tabloid Aeroplanes.

The British reason, quite logically.
that the smaller the aeroplane and the
faster it can fly the less danger of Its
being hit by shots fired from earth.
So the British airmen favor an unusu-
ally small machine, which they call the
tabloid" A very light frame is fit
ted with an SO-horse power motor,
which will drive the frail machine
through the air Mt the rate of 100
miles an hour. The engine is covered
with armor. The aviator seeking to
drop II bomb on the enemy approaches
his target at n height of 5000 feet.
When straight above 1t he turns the
nose of his machine straight down and

800 feet of the target he drops his
bombs as quickly rs possible and then
shoots skyward ut tremendous pace.

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BE RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of the
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases OF
serious illness, makes a chemical analy'
sis of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistcs, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
wear, in the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it is particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as kidney remedy
is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
ized. according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention.
gtt Swamp-Root at once from any phar
macy. 1t is sold by every druggist in
battles of two sizes-50c and Sl.0O.
However if you wish first to test thi,
neat preparation send ten cents to DR.
kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. Adv.

READY TO HUNT VILLA
COLORADO MILITIA DEL 7 S
FOR BORDER DUTY.
Arduous Camp Life of Months tndeo
and Boys Thrill at Hope of Ac-
tion at the Front.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-With the waving of hand
kerchiefs and khaki hats. the pufflng
OF engines, the crunching of air
brakes, the creaking of car wheels and
the hilarious cheers of nearly 300
eager, happy soldier boys, the two
special Santa Fe trains bearing the
members of Batteries b and G and the
headuuarters detachment OF the Colo
RADIO National guard pulled away from
the tranquil tents and dreamy camp
fires OF the state mobilization grounds
Sept 80 for the less tranquil, If not
less dreamy, border of Mexico.
The last day was busy one at the
rifle range for the boys of the first
separate battalion of artillery-a day
of noise, of bustling activity, of ex-
citement and of anticipation. But
they worked hard and shortly after 10
o'clock the commanding officers an
nounced they were ready to hunt
Villa and the boys left for the bor-
der. There were many fond farewells
for fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers,
wives, sweethearts and friends
swarmed in crowds about the mobili-
zation grounds all afternoon.
Battery b Is from Denver and Bat
terry C from Colorado Springs.
The headquarters detachment is
composed of four officers and about
seventeen men. The officers are Ma
jor William Fletcher Sharp, Capt. II.
C. Nickerson, adjutant; Lieut., Louis
G. Carpenter, quartermaster; Lieut..
Thos. Slayton, veterinarian. and Capt.
Harry F. Finney, medical officer. I,a'
jor Sharp will be in chief command oil
the troops.
The first train carried nine officers
and about 1874 men and was made up
as follows: One baggage car, ten
stock cars, seven flat cars, four box
cars, three tourist sleepers and one
standard car. The other train had one
less box car and two less stock cars
and carried four officers and about
IL men.
The batteries took eight 3-inch
guns, four to each battery; Sil
horses. 81 mules, wagons, a kitchen
car, a car of hay. a car of straw. car
of oats and sufficient quantity OF
rations to last three days.
The men all are thoroughly trained.
according to Major Sharp, and are
ready for active service, having been
drilled in every department of artillery
practice.
Only two men were unfit to go with
their respective units to the border,
according TO Captain Leonard S.
Hughes, sanitary and medical inspec-
tor. Those two were discharged from
the service for disability.
