CT. LOUIS is justly proud of three O blue pigs, the property of Au- gust A. Busch, a name, by the way, that is already becoming legendary in Alabama, where the prohibitionists have taken all the joy out of the
 beer consumers St. Louis Boasts life. However, of Three Blue Pigs the Buschs are
 still regarded as among the nations foremost philan- thropists by thirsty mortals, despite the fact that the output of their brew cry is never given away-except on the spot, and to visitors.
 The three blue pigs, real aristocrats of pigdom, were brought some weeks ago from Massachusetts and are said to have taken so kindly to their new environment at the country home of MT. Busch that they have added some pounds to their weight and have de- veloped fondness for the Bush bev- erages, "soft" and otherwise.
 According to MT. Busch, his blue pigs are the only three in the world, except the herd at Lynn, Mass, the result of years of experiments in cross-breeding. A rich brewer may in dulge himself in blue pigs to his hearts content, but it would be rather bad form for distiller to do so, the impression prevailing that "hard liquor" has made it's devotees see not only blue pigs, but green ones, and other animals, both wild and tame, in all the colors of the rainbow.
 T,HE progressives who came out ! from the republican party four years ago and marched under the ban ner of the bull moose, and who are now for Hughes, can but feel ill at ease. The democratic party is a pro- gressive party, not in theory or talk only but in achievements and the
 mass of voters Ill at Ease Among who cast their Republican Bosses ballots for Roose-
 welt in 1912 in order to be logical should be lined up now for the democratic ticket.
 Those progressives who have al- ready declared for Wilson-and there are many of them-feel per- fectly at home in the democratic party, and those who are hesitating and are classed as unfriendly will HldhC up tuSil Ailiiuo III OuC tIIilc lo vote for the democratic nominee rather than for Hughes, who is the candidate of the standpat republicans.
 While MT. Hughes speech of ac- ceptance was made up mostly of crit icism of Wilson's international poli- cies, the republican standard bearer did say, with more than usual en- phasis, that he believed in a high protection tariff. Mir. Hughes knows little, perhaps, about great economic questions, but his speech would not have received the sanction of the standpat bosses unless he had come out strongly for return to the iniquitous tariff of republican author ship.
 In 1912 the reactionaries controlled the republican convention, presided over by MT. Root, and because they controlled it Colonel Roosevelt bolted and formed new party. The pro- gressives cast 4,119,507 votes for their ticket headed by Roosevelt. The republican convention that nominated ,ughes was dominated by the same \ oup of reactionaries.
 k Ugressivism has no place in the inner councils of the republican party. The colonel himself is not enjoying his present political companions. If he is sincere about anything it is his avowed dislike for boss rule.
