PARKER'S STATEMENT

MT. Parkers statement follows gro the Patriotic Men and Women of
 America:
 "The progressive party was born of a purpose, which purpose exists today for reasons now stronger than at that party's birth. It was" born of Ameri- canism and the call for Americanism was never greater or more necessary than today.
 We had as supposed leaders red blooded Americans, who promised with their life blood to stay with the party to the finish. but for steam-roller req. sons they have elected to be steam rolled, and in depriving us of our com missioned officers have thought anN in- evitable surrender must follow. This is wrong, for the rank and file of the progressives are men who joined that party without idea of political ag- Erandizement, but with a view of help ing and of raising the prestige of the nation, as a nation. standing for fair play to everybody. favoritism to none, and on this platform we stand today before the country.
 The progressive ship has been de- serted; by a large part of our officers. They could not stand the acid test Their assurance Never to abandon the principles to which we progressives pledged ourselves never to alter their solemn contract with the people, proved empty words a mere scrap of paper.
 BULL MOOSE DESERTED
 -The bull moose led his loyal fol- lowers into the wilderness-and there deserted them. Let us eternally bury that emblem and adopt as the new em- blem of the progressive party the na- tional bird. the American eagle, which will always be patriotic inspiration to look upward, and a constant re- hinder to be true to those sterling principles which have made America great and brought to this country the bravest and most adventurous spirits of the old world. These and their de- scendants are truly loyal and patriotic Americans
 "The old parties are husks with no real soul within either.
 The past four years have emphasized this truth. We fought for our convic- tions in 1912. We were right then and are doubly right now.
 'Neither star chamber methods, nor steam roller are the creed of true pro- gressives. We fearlessly fight in the open. We have put the rights of the people above the power of the dollar More than any party, we have worked for human welfare and public interest
 The nation urgently needs the in fluence of virile and patriotic mi nority party. Its power for good will be great. and true progressives should remain loyal to their beliefs.
 'sThe national progressive convention delegated to the national committee the right to fill any vacancy that might occur. This was mandate to the na- tional committee. with which they were in honor bound to comply.
 '.The work of the steam-roller in 19l caused revolt in every state in tn union That steam-roller, manipulated b, tha same able leaders, was worked in tn republican convention of 19l6 with evel

RED BLOOD WANTED

Patriotic men, actuated by the best of motives, men with red blood in their
 veins, men of courage and backbone and vision should lead the fight. T joined the progressive party from a deep seated conviction. because it stood for what was best for humanity, best for my country, best for my state and
 best for the people of the south. Today my views are stronger than ever that was absolutely right.
 q did not want office then, and do not want office now, and my appeal to the men and women of America and of every individual state is to call another convention to meet in Chicago on August 5, the fourth anniversary of the birth of the progressive party, nominate candi- dates for President and vice president and let me labor in the ranks and on the stump to prove my work is for the principles I believe in, and not for office elective or appointive.
 Men and women of America, the hour has come when you should Loyalty worl, for the welfare of the nation, uninflu- enced and uncontrolled by the political bosses or Wall street.

DELIBERATE BETRAYAL

"The deliberate betrayal of it's trust by the republican party, the fatal incapacity of the democratic party to deal with the new issues of the new time, have com pelled the people to forge a new instru- ment of government, through which to give effect to their will in laws and in- stitutions
 Thousands of the best Americans no longer go to the polls. They are disgusted with politics and leave the affairs of state and nation to the bosses, amply financed by the interests, which thrive and fatten under their msrule.
 ''The time for careful consideration has come. We should meet the issues squarely.
 "The true patriotism of former days is rapidly passing away, We are beginning to be dollar blind, and instead of devoted loyalty to country, now worship gold and not the God or righteousness. Early awakening and vigorous action is neces- sary if we wish to maintain American ideals.
 The time has come when every party working for human welfare and the fu- ture of America should unite against both the dominant parties.

cannot be accomplished through either of the dominant parties
 For President Wilson and MT Hughes, as individuals. have the highest regard and admiration, but considered as leaders of the parties whose machines are the actual factors to be reckoned with, I could not conscientiously give them my support or acquiesce in turning over to either of them the entire loyal member ship of the progressive organization who have opposed many things the dominant parties have advocated and who have worked for many things the democrats and republicans have refused to support.
 T long have believed in the justice of giving the ballot to the women of the country and my appeal to the women to join in naming a national progressive ticket is made with the idea of the pro- gressive party making a clean-cut decla- ration, shorn of all political buncombe and chicanery for woman suffrage thr0ughout tha nation

 TAFT COULDN'T DESERT
 "The gentleman elected as President in 1908 was a clean-cut splendid character, whose long and useful public life was unmarred by a single stain He could not resist the power of the machine, which, being in supreme control, so stirred the anger of the nation that but two states supported the dominant political party in 1912.
 After four years we find that same party hungry for influence, office and power again selecting a splendid man as the mask behind which they hope to again secure control of state and nation.
 For 50 years not patriotic statesmen, but political leaders, have utilized the southern vote to give them an absolute grip on national affairs and enable the republican party, through its political bosses to nominate whom it pleased, con- trolling that party by means of hand- picked delegates from a section where there is no chance to secure single re- publican elector.
 Earnest patriotic and able men from every state in the union worked to bring about a radical change from those con- ditons which would enable the west, and particularly the south, to handle their own problems, develop, as they would do, amazingly, and take virile part in na tional life
 "The progressive party in it's platform unanimously adopted in 1912 and unani- mously reaffirmed in 1916, stated in part:
 This country belongs to the people who inhabt it. Its resources, it's busi- ness, it's institutions and it's laws should be utilized, maintained or altered in whatever manner will best promote the general interest.
 It is time to set the public welfare in the first place.
 Political parties exist to secure re- sponsible government and to execute the will of the people From these great tasks both of the old parties have turned aside

 Mrs. Learn will be greatly missed at the Orphange and on Wood Is land, although not on a salary, she never spared herself, whether it was helping with the work in the home, or nursing the sick, or ministering to the people on the island. There were very few evenings that her sitting room was not filled with small boys, playing games, or older ones, reading books or papers; and the girls were always delighted when they could come and spend an afternoon with Mama Learn.

DEPopULATIoN FACES EUROPE

VIENNA, Oct. Whether or not Europe will be obliged to change its marriage laws as the result of the war is a question which has recently occupied sociologists in the centra states. Most of them are of the opin. ion that material notifications must ensue; a few think that legalizeo polygamy must be established in or der to provide for the surplus womer which two years of warfare has made one of the problems of all Europe.
 The total population of the state. at war, the non-Arian elements O Russia excepted, is roughly &7&,OOO, poo, of which, according to best sou. ,es, 1S,OOO,OOO ale women and il Europe where exact statistics ar, available, the proportion is lO5 male to lO7 females.

 SPEAKS OF KODIAK

There is nothing in the world that shows local color so much as the loca newspaper. Over at Kodiak they publish little paper called "The Ko- diak News Letter" and it makes the most interesting reading. It shows as no other publication could the real life of that essentially Alaskan town and district. Just read the following and read between the lines with the conception of Alaska and particularly that part of Alaska in view:

The two girls go to Salem Indian School at Chemawa, Oregon. After taking them to the school Mrs. Learn goes to McMinn- vile, Ore, to rent a house, then on to Drury, Mass, to get Margaret.

THE TURNAGAIN-KNIK REGION,
 ALASKA

At the hea dof Cook Inlet, Alaska is a triangular area defined on the south by Turnagain Arm, on the north and west by Knik Arm, and on the east by rugged, unexpIored mountains and gIacier-flled valleys. This area was examined in 1915 by party from the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, in charge of S k. Capps, by whom a report has been prepared. This report, which IS entitled "The Turnagain-knik Re zion, Alaska" has recently been pub Ished by the Survey as Bulletin Cl2- E. It furnishes information regard ing the general geographic features of the region and its geology and the mineral resources. Concerning the mineral resources the report states.
 "The mineral resources of the Turnagain-Knik region that have 50 far received the attention of miners and prospectors are the gold placers and the gold quartz Iodes. From 1896 to 1o9o a large number of placer claims were staked on the streams tributary to Tunagain Arm from the north, and on a few of these claims, notably those on lower Crow Creek. mining has been carried on each year since. The entire output of placer. gold has been derived from the Turn again Arm slope of the mountains  In 1915 some placer claims were stalied on tributaries of lower Kn.k Arm, but none of these have yet been demonstrated to contain workable ground Development work on gold quartz lodes has also been confined largely to the Turnagain Arm basin, although a few claims in the valley of Peters creek and in the upper basin of Eagle River have received attention. In 1915 no gold had been produced from any of the gold quartz lodcs. ."-U. $. Geological Survey
