A STAGE ARMY"

The decision Of the receivers Of the
Progressive party TO hold its conven-
ton in Chicago at the same time the
Republicans meet would be received
with greater acceptance OF honest in
tentions If il We're not for the blatant
boastings Of such men as George W.
Perkins as TO what the Progressive
remnant will do if the Republicans do
not do as they want them to do. II is
idle TO attempt to conceal the fact
that their expectation is that the Re-
publicans will allow themselves to be
stampeded for Roosevelt. That will
never happen. There are many rea-
sons why it cannot happen.
Practically all Of the Progressive
strength Of 1912 has returned home.
They have come back without any stip-
ulated conditions. They are again Re
publicans believing in the high mis-
sion OF the party and its virile Ameri-
can principles. \ few irreconcilables
have been left stranded. and are talk
ing about the more than two million
Progressives" behind them. a delusive
computation more highly exaggerative

men becoming business partners. one

WHAT STATE AUDIT SHOWS

AS The Intellgencer stated some days
ago in reviewing the report OF the
first annual State audit, the most in
teresting feature was the table show
Ing percentage classification OF the
expenditures OF the State. This table
furnishes n comparison OF the rela-
tive cost OF conducting the various
branches OF the States business, and
is distinct refutation OF the partisan
charges OF partisan press of the al
legged extravaganza and wasteful use
of the public moneys.
The first item in this table is the
one that Is likely to prove surprising
TO the people of the State, that Of
education. The amount expended from
the State treasury last year for educa-
ton was s1.544. 625.32. which was Al. %
= per cent OF the amount expended for all
purposes. The Industrial and deaf and
bllnd schools, the hospitals the chill

fces. departments. commissions and
boards, both elective and appointive.
was only 1867 per cent Of the whole.

Tor education is the money distributed
TO the various counties for aid 10 the
local schools. On this subject L. 4

There are other features of this
audit which are commended to the an.
probation Of the thoughtful voters and
taxpayers Of the State. which stand
a. testimony to the progressiveness OF
Republican legislation OF late. Re
publican legislatures have placed on
the statute books Of the State two laws
which have raised the methods oi
handling public finances from chaos
TO high business-like plane. The
hrst OF these was tho accounting law
passed In 1908. providing for a uniform
system OF accounting and for general
supervision and inspection Of all local
ohices. The other is the law passed
IN 1913 providing for an annual audit
OF all State offices and departments

il is equally true that the benefits
derived by producers OF raw materials
are less under free trade than under
protection.
Protection affects every industrial
fiber Of this country beneficially. All
share in the prosperity which II Gre
ates. During the fiscal year 1913. I'M

crude materials TO the value Of 1892

der the Democratic tarin. they amount

in prosperous times. was due TO the
fact that a low duty tariff facilitated
the capture Of our market By our for
eign rivals. extended their activities.
and created a larger demand for raw
materials. which they filled I'm part
from our supply. The foreigner paid
freight on them. made them w with
pauper-paid labor. and the price Of the
manufacturers to importers in this
country included these two items. plus
profit. The importers added their
profits. and the return freight. and
they entered our market In competi.
tion with goods made in America Tho
competition closed our mills but the
consumers reaped no benefit. for the
cost Of living went up. instead Of
down as the Democrats promised.
