Parker, who could not restrain his patriotic soul, but had to give formal expression to his lndlgna- tion at the way the trusting progress sives like himself are alleged to have been tricked at Chicago, but they are trreconsilables nevertheless and will be so to the end.
 What proportion of the progressive vote will go to President Wilson 1t IS difficult to conjecture. That it will be considerable no one can well doubt.
 In the meantime the democratic rec ord in itself is telling argument tor the retention of the party in power. The absolute solidarity of the democ- racy at this time is another important factor making for victory in Novem- her. Yet, MT. Wilson and his ad- visors know that effective campaign work is in order, no matter how bright the outlook may be. Certain It IS that the democratic party has not been as strong before the country since the Civil war as it is today. While 1t IS always poor politics to underrate the strength of your opponents, demo- cratic workers throughout the land cannot help feeling buoyant at the slt- nation as it looks today.

 Chicago has sent letters to the British ambassador at Washington and to King George asking clemency for Sir Roger Easement, now under sen- tence of death for treason.
 The revelations Sir Roger made ot conditions in the Congo while he was
 a British consul in Neqroes Grateful Africa redounded to Sir Roger greatly to ms creo-
 it and were instru- mental in checking barbarous treat ment of the natives. Naturally, the more intelligent negroes of the United States feel that they owe him debt of gratitude.
 Sir Rogers work for the British government won for him high honor and recognition, and not even the folly of his later years, which has branded him a traitor before all the world, can take from him the worth of his past achievements. In fact, his intrigue with Germany and his connection with the last uprising in Ireland were so incomprehensible that the deluded knight was called a madman by those Englishmen who knew him best.
 Efforts are now being made to have Sir Rogers sentence commuted by King George, as nothing else can save him from execution. It'is probable that his life will be spared. Great Britain can hardly afford to have his blood on her hands, although his enterprise was most fragrant treason.
 RE ANY persons who are predis- WI posed to skepticism in matters religious point to the European war, with it's pitiless slaughter, as an evi- dence of the failure of Christianity. But such implied criticism is not fair; it is not just. Those moralists who
 reject the Christian Christianity and religion "a large the Bloody War number of them
 at any rate preach altruism and substitute ethi- cal culture for divine revelation and time -honored creeds. Why, it might be asked, has not ethical teaching put an end to war?
 This would be wretched world drearier than it is even in times ot war and pestilence-if Christianity
