 (Oct- 3, 1913 New York address to
 Progressives)
 This movement wills never go back, and whatever may betide in the fu- ture, of one thing the disciples of an easy opportunism may rest assured I will never abandon the principles to which we Progressives have pledged ourselves, and I will never abandon the men and women who drew around me to battle for those principles. They and stand with our faces toward the morning; we will never be sun dered from one another, and we will never yield the ground we have taken or finch from the fight to which we are pledged

THE FIRST ATLAS.

The first modern atlas was the work of Abraham Ortolieus, a Dutch geo. grapher, who died in Antwerp, his native city, SIS years ago today. June 2S, 1898. His monumental work, entitled the ''Theatrum Orbis Terrar- um,'' was first published at Antwerp in 1870, and was revised and reissued five times during the authors life time. It was a, folio volume contain ing nearly a hundred maps, represent ing the different countries and con tinents as they were then known. AL though this atlas was a momentous achievement, a monument of erudi- ton and industry, yet a, bright school boy of today could draw maps from memory with better approximation to correctness. Even England and Scotland appear in this pioneer vol unne with amazing distortions of coast line and relative area, and many other maps in the volume bear only slight resemblance to those of today. The name of atlas derived from that of the Greek god condemned to bear on his shoulders the vault of heaven, was first given to a collection of maps by Girard Marcator, another distinguish ed Dutch geographer of the sixteenth century.

.UNIVERSALISTS
 TO PAY TRIBUTE TO P. I. BARNUM
Bridgeporters Will Have Memorial Service on 25th
 Anniversary of Death.

The UniversaIists of Bridgeport are to celebrate the name and memory of P. T. Barnum, their distinguished communicant, and Bridgeport's great citizen, by a memorial service at the Church of the Redeemer next Sunday morning, July 2, at 1O:3o. MT. Bar mum has been dead just 20 years, hav- ing died in 1891. Born in Bethel Conn, July 5, 1910, he rounded out his four score years in happy useful work for the people he loved, and died regarded by great esteem in every civilized country on earth. Royalty and the distinguished of every land were friends of P. T. Barnum.
 A special program is being arranged providing for the hymns and scrip tura1 passages so beloved by MT. Bar mum. Among those who will serve as ushers will be two men who served as honorary pallbearers at the funeral of MT. Barnun, and were long asso- ciated with him in the work of the Church of the Redeemer. These are Jerome Orcutt and Col. J. M. Knowl- ton, one-time postmaster of Bridge port.
 It is expected that either the Rev.
 Dr. L. B. Fisher in person or a, mes- sage from him, will be a part of the ! days service. Dr. Fisher, now dean of Ryder Divinity School, Chicago university, was MT. 13arnuI1S paSLOT.
 The address of the day will be deliv- cred by the Rev. William Wallace TRose, the present pastor. The church is holding this service in no sectarian spirit, and it hopes that the name and
 memory of the great snowman may be honored by a large audience.
 P. T. Barnum, snowman, world cit
 izen, legislator and mayor of Bridge port, loved Bridgeport dbsyond all I o%Io he lived, and here he Iabored for the l beautifying and welfate of the city and its people, all of them his friends. Barnum was a true American, and coming at this period in our history and this season of our year when Americanisrn is in the air, a. study of
 his life and his principles reveals
 no small measure of those characteris- tics which gaining MT. Barnum the esteem and confidence of all who knew him, serve to make for that we call "AmericaniSn."

KILLING A GREAT PARTY.
(New Tor World ]

cip1e'' on which he made his assault
 upon MT. Taft, he offers nothing now
 in his assault upon MT. Wilson but the
 impudent assumption that MT. Hughes
 would be a war-naking President
 Whether MT. Hughes agrees to this
 classification or not, it certainly is inn
 piled in the denunciation of MT. Will
 son as weak and vacillating' for
 keeping the peace under crushing diff
 ficulties and the praise of MT Hughes
 as a man of "vigor and force' who
 would have acted differently
 On this point the candidate is en-
 titled to be heard for himself. In
 fairness he must not be held respon-
 sib1e for the rawlings of defeated am
 bition unless he shall make them his
 own. Should it appear that as the
 price of Oyster Bay favor MT. Hugh hes has accepted MT. Rooseve1t's idea that war with Germany, war with Turkey,
 war with Mexico, war with Japan, war with anybody and everybody, is the
 only way in which this Nation can find it's soul" several millions of Americans will insist upon knowing the exact terms of very conpromis- ing agreement.
 Political parties som etimes dissolve or make alliances of their own m O. ton, but even so, the decision of their
 representatives binds nobody who is
 unwilling. A political party that is wrecked by false lights and false leaders loses all power of cohesion and is reduced to it's original elements. Probably there never was a greater de1usion than the belief that MT. Roosevelt in retirement or a, trump committee sitting in secret could de- liver the true PrQgressives of the country to a hidebouhd party of privi- lege and greed from which they long | ago separated for cause. No matter what MT. Roosevelt says or a dfscred- | ited committee does, the quarre1s be- gun yesterday in Chicago will be set | tied only at the polls in November where Democrats and Progressives | will meet Republican reactionaries as in former days. all without disguise.

gressives to abandon our convictions" |" He has abandoned them. His Pro gressive convictions are like the good intentions of MT. Micawber'sT young est son. He never carries them out.
 Perhaps conscious of the weakness of his defenseG MT. Roosevelt turns to the more congenial job of lamb skinning MT. Wilson, whose Admin istration is Ion an even lower level than the Administration of Buchan- an." A rehash of a favorite phrase of his unbiased criticism. He is the incarnation of Lincoln. Consequent ly MT. Wilson must be the avatar of Old Buck. When MT. Roosevelt comes to deal with hyphenization he
 makes a mess of it. If many chill dren of the hyphen support Hughes, it is not because they love Hughes, but on account of their ''antagonism to me. y They were bound to defeat me for the nomination. Yes, and they are bound to defeat MT. Wilson because they despise him, and MT. Roosevelt is going to help them. With what he says about Americanism and the loyalty of the great body of citi- zens of German blood nobody but the disloyalists will disagree; but the country cannot forget that it is ex- actly MT. Wilson's Arnericanism that has earned him the hostility of the alien group, the very men, mainly Republicans, who loathe both MT. Wilson and MT. Roosevelt.
 MT. Wilson's acts are the ample proof of his Americanisnn. Without doubting MT. Hughes, it is hard to see what it gains by being imputed to him by MT. Roosevelt. Take him on my recommendation is what his plea to the Progressives amounts to. But if they are true to their principles of 1912, why shouldn't they follow them, instead of following the chief /?
 MT. Roosevelt is thoroughly tired of the Progressive Party, He is a mighty engaging chara acter, but too worldly wise for fthe conscience of the people, He wants a conscience that can deliver more votes.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-06-28

Speaking of weasel words that eat each other and words that are not translated into deeds and words that dull the moral sense of the peo- pIe,'' where shall we find more of tn em than in the letter in which Theo- dore Roosevelt undertakes to surren- der his party to the Old Guard?
 Every syllable here uttered in justi- ficatton of the Progressive movement bellies his argument in favor of the dissolution of that organization and his support of MT. Hughes. The very men who ruled the Republican party in 1912, when MT. Roosevelt denounc- ed it as "boss-ridden and privilege controlled are it's masters to-day, with the same aims and the sam e meth odS and they are all app1auding him.
 It is not possible to read this capi- tulation without loss of respect for the author. It is the final act in what must be regarded as the deliber- ate betrayal of a party and a cause. It shows that so far as MT. Roosevelt is concerned he had four years ago no inspiration higher than the meanest of revenges upon MT. Taft and that he has no impulse today but envy and hatred of MT. Wilson. His abuse of Democrats now is no harsher than his abuse of Repu ub1icans then.
 The Progressive party has been put to the base end of serving a disap- pointed mans personal grudges. Its recent convention was permitted to name a candidate who never intended to run except as the nominee of the regulars, and it was forced to adjourn with out naming a candidate of it's own who would run. It was stupefied with untruths and promises, trapped in it's own household and delivered to its enemies, according to program. By a vote of two to one last evening it's National Committee ratified the per- fdy.
 Aside from proof of his political faithlessness and his malice toward the President. MT. Roosevelt's letter is a blank except for his mania for war. Having abandoned every "prin-

THE SACRIFICE OF THE BULL MOOSE.
(New York Times.)

Tenderly but inexoribly MT. <Roose- welt draws his cruel steel along the throat of the Bull Moose He intro duced it to the political fauna Now he bids it join the dodo. The anim al was his. For him it must die. He is the most gregarious of men. He is unhappy in minority. His letter to the Progressive National Committee might aptly be entitled t.I Must Get Back into the Republican Party" To enable him to accomplish that task, will the Progressive Party which came Ito stay" disrupt, dissolve, fall upon the impenitent bosoms of the "crooks'' of 1912? He weeps over 1t before he knifes it:
 Before speaking of anything

If the platform of 1912 was 'sthe most important public document pronaul- gated in this country since the death of Abraham Lincoln" why doesn't MT. Roosevelt stick to it? But where is that platform now?r It has been thrown into the ashheap of history It was forgotten even by the Progressives at their Chicago Convention. Where is the recall of Judicial decisions? :? Where is responsibility to the peo- pie, secured by the initiative, refer endum, and recal1''? Away in the Ewigkeit.
