PROGRESSIVE PARTY

The first national conference of Progressive Republicans" was held in Chicago five years ago today, when a platform was adopted declaring that jthe Progressive movement is a strug- gle to wrest the control of the govern ment in the nation and states from the representatives of special privilege. and restore it to the control of the people," The conference endorsed Senator Robert M. LaFollette for president and declared for a direct primary as a means for the expression of a presidential choice. Soon after the October meeting Senator LaFol- lette commenced a stumping campaign and continued it until the following spring, when he became i'll for a time. During this period Col. Roosevelt an-' nounced his candidacy for the presi- dency, and wrested the leadership from Battle Bob." Failing to win the nomination in the Republican con- vention, Col. Roosevelt boited. and the Progressive party entered the lists with the Colonel as its standard bear CT. Social and industrial justice" to be gained through many reform meas ures advocated in the platform of the new party. was the doctrine preached by Col Roosevelt and his followers in the 1912 campaign. In the present political conflict the Progressives have ceased to be a factor. and Col. Roosevelt and some of his followers of four years ago have returned to the Republican fold.

As winter approaches many people who have neglected their health, are run down and weak and begin to suf- fer from debility and lack of rallying powers after a slight cold or or\malaria- Their blood is thin and they dread the cold weather because they haven't they itality to fight it. In short, they can't "come back" owing to physical weakness. Though few people realize it. they are apt to be just as badly run down after hot, tiresome summer, as they are in the spring after the rigors of an unusually cold winter, such as is common in these parts. Everyone knows how important 1t is to take a good tonic in the spring. But few stop to think that it is equally important to do so now and fortify the system against colds. coughs. malaria, grippe and even pneumonia. Catarrah and consumption. the white mans peril" often start from mere cold that quickly spreads from the head to the stomach. liver, kidneys, bowels and lungs and wears away the tissue structure and membranes until the victim becomes a mere skeleton of his or her former self.

x-RAY GAVE HIM DISEASE, FEAR OF
 CANCER EXPERT

Dr. Francis Leroy Satterlee, Jr., one of New York's wealthiest physicians and member of one of the city's best known families, will undergo an operation Tuesday for what he be- ieves may be cancer, contracted as the result of burns received 19 years ago while experimenting with an K ray machine for the cure of that ail- ment.
 Dr. Saterlee. who is connected with the Greenpoint and Flushing hos pitals is a noted x-ray expert and has written many articles for scientific journals on the cure of cancer by the radio. In his own case, however, he will not resort to the treatment, ae he has contended that while the lays would cure cancer they would not cure it when caused by them.
 Burns Healed but Then Opened.
 The physicians right hand waA bad ly burned in his experiment made in 1897, when he was known as the pioneer X-ray expert. He treated the burns for some time and they healed, but later they opened. He under went several operations for skin graft. ing, and although these for time ap.. peared to have been successful even- tually he was compelled to have one of the fingers removed from his right hand.
 Several years passed before he was again troubled. Meantime he had treated hundreds of cases of various sorts with X-rays. A few days ago his. hand began to pain him and he concluded an operation again would be necessary, but he could not use the rays to determine if such were really true.
 May Have to Amputate Hand.
 He consulted Dr. Robert, Abbe of St. Dukes, hospital and1 they decided it would be necessary to use the knife. The operation will take place at the Flushing hospital, Tuesday. If the doctors belief there is cancer in his hand be true, the hand will be re- moved.
 Dr. Satterlee and his wife live at No. 216 Percy street. Flushing She was Mrs. John H. Ise1in. They were married in Grace church in 1906.
 The doctor is a cousin of Herbert l.. Satterlee. who is g. brother-in-law of J: Pierpont Morgan. He also is cousin of Bishop Henry Yates Sater- lee of Washington.

CIJMMINS REFUTES
 HUGHES ON S-HOUR ACT

In the debate in the Senate on the Adamson Eight-Hour Law. Senator Cummins of Iowa, Republican, vigor- ously denounced the intimation that the railway brotherhoods were hold ing up'' Congress for this legislation
 This is another fact which is regarded as exposing the purely partisan char acter of Candidate Hughes's attacks on the law which settled the strike after it was passed. .
 "1 do not believe that the brother hoods of trainmen are attempting to coerce the Congress of the United States" MT. Cumfnins said, and added, "They have not lasked Congress for legislation. They have not attempted to direct the course of legislation in Congress, if I understand the manner in which the whole subject devel- oped."
 MT. Cummins then told of the course of the strike negotiations; of how the President, when other nego- tiations failed made a proposal to the brotherhoods and the railways; of
