Invitation to the Proeressiyes

Progressives a cordial invitation 10 join
the Democracy. That, in truth, is where
they belong. Their protest against Tory Re
publicanism could have been made TO much
better purpose within the Democratic ranks.
They have been sold out. or will be sold out
by their patron and leader and erstwhile
idol, who used them for his own purposes
and promptly forgot them so soon as his
selfish, political ambitions dictated their
sacrifice
The Democratic party is the 'forward-
looking" party, and honest Progressves, with
q real zeal in social service, will find it hos
pitable to their ambitions. They would be
lost in the reactonary mass OF Republicansm
and as body OF franc-tireurs on the out
skirts Of the battle would achieve nothing

How many loved your movements of

And loved your beauty with love

But one man loved the pilgrim soul

A MATTER OF MUSIC.

That SO harmonious an art as music should
have caused discord in the city seems matter of
regret. We should all have music in our souls
and hearts to make us even moderately happy
Even should the music be only whistle or the
mum OF song life is lifted from graydom and
made more ivable. It is not the intent or desire
OF those advocating musical instruction that
their children shall become impressarios or prima
donnas. Hardly any Of these fathers or mothers
expect their children to go on concert tours in
coming years with the equipment they will gain
IN the public schools. They do hope in many cases
that their children will gain love of music and
song and have if only to mild degree the wide
portals OF the music world opened to them They
feel also, that the ideas of harmony gained in
their musical instruction will be manifested in
other ways and other studies Some children are
born without any apparent musical Gear" Just as
some children are without sight. 1t has been dem
onstrated time and time again that the former
children can be educated to know and understand
music (not to perform) ; just as the blind child
rem are taught to read and learn. Such things
cannot be done in the home and very frequently
indeed, the parents themselves were neglected
and are unable to give child any instruction.
They can be done in the schools at small cost
under a trained instructor and they should be
done.

reefs the little fellow who is much better up old
Santa than you and | are. The snow is on the
ground now and the nights are clear and bright,
although somewhat frosty But that doesn't
bother Santa, who just loves cold weather.
No, indeedy-he just drives those eight rein
deer helter-skelter over the hills and looks into
all the homes for little boys who believe in him
Santa will not visit the other little boys and girls
though, who do not believe in him Of course
they will get some presents from papa and mama
and Uncle Ben and Aunt Edna, but not one from
Santa-NO Stree!
Yes, Santa is just an old myth to those smart
les who know SO much and no one would blame
him for not visiting them at all
But to you and l and the little fellow Santa is
a real real person and he will come-JUST WAIT

BOORIsHNEss VS.. INDEPENDENCE.

Some people mistake being Extensively boorish
for rugged independence. They consider that
in order to assert themselves they must pass from
one person to another hurting insults and sar-
casm leaving bitter taste in the mouths of every
person they meet. They think that because an
other man trys and succeeds in being polite and
agreeable he is toady and lives by basking in
the reflected light Of his fellows smile. They
opine that life is not happy unless they are show
ing how independent they are when, in fact,
they are only detestable. We knew a man once,
IN reality relative who was one of those "inde-
pendent" sort. He was not happy unless he was
shouting at his family, fellow workmen or en-
plOyers with his boasts that mo one could run
over him" He achieved his independence ali
right. In fact he became so Independent that no
one would hire him. His ability and brains count
ed for nothing because his employers could not
stand his insolence. After a while he drifted
down and down into pitiful and broken wreck
all on account of his independence
The moral is that independence does not con
sist in being continually aggressive and insulting
man can be independent" in the true sense Of
the word, confound wrongdoers and assert him
self IN way that does not become matter of
personality. People will stand for independence
that comes from honest conviction temperatev
expressed. They will not hear for a minute of
boorlshness that means simply the outward ex-
preston OF mean vindictive character
