The Olive Branch

At a meeting of the Progressive Ma
tional Committee at Chicago, recently
the Bull Moosers issued statement
which opens the way for a reunion OF
the Progressives and Republicans. The
Progressives extend the Olive branch of
peace to the old party and express the
hope of a reconciliation before the ma
tional convention.
The date of the Republican convention
is June 7, at Chicago, and the Progress
sives have chosen this date and place for
their national assemblage. In a declara-
ton of principles signed by all the COM
mitteemen, and having, it is said. the as
sent of Col. Roosevelt, declaration for
the amalgamation of the two factions is
issued to the end that the Progressives
may return to the Republican party and
join with them in the task of driving the
Democratic party from power. state
ment is also made by George w. Perkins,
one of the generals of the Progressive
party, that Progressives will not insist
upon the nomination of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Justice Hughes or some other progress
sive Republican will be satisfactory to
the prodigals.
Col. Roosevelt, in his greeting to the
National Committee of his party, out
lines what he conceives to be the great
issue of the hour. These are in his judg
ment, preparedness and the maintenance
of the national honor. His declaration
on these two engrossing questions heart
ems every good American, whether he
likes the Colonel or not, and on these
propositions, the national defense and an
exhibition of real Americanism in our
foreign relations, Republicans can agree
with Progressives. On certain minor
issues, including the tariff, the two fac
tions are in accord. On the essential po-
litical and economic questions which en-
gross the thought OF the republic. the
Progressives are in harmony with the
Republicans, and both are emphat:cally
out of tune with Democratic ideals,
Democratic foreign and domestic policies
and Democratic accomplishments. Both
are eager to Danish the Democratic par
ty and all its works from the seat of
power. The only way to realize this
ambition is to get together; it cannot be
done if the breach is not bridged.
The Progressives make fair propo-
sition. A little tact, a little diplomacy,
a forgiving spirit and disposition to let
bygones be bygones will close the door
through (which the Democratic donkey

Automobile Taxation

Automobile owners who had feared a
tax on their cars have been treasured by
Mr.. McAdoo, Secretary of the Treasury,
who has issued a statement explaining
that the proposed tax on the horse pow
er or motor cars refers entirely to tax
on the automobile before it leaves the
factory, to be paid by the manufacturer,
and paid only once to the Federal gov
ernment. He adds that "no yearly tax
alton of automobiles and motor cars
similar to the license taxes of states is
contemplated, nor has it, at any time.
been suggested that Federal tax be i'm
posed on automobiles already in use by
private owners" Thus owners are to
be exempted from any direct tax, though
they may pay the tax indirectly if the
makers conclude to get their money back
by advancing the price of cars.

No More "a BIC" Business

Talk of intervention in Mexico by a
ern hemisphere which has been provoked
by resolution presented in Congress, is
absurd If the slaughter of Americans
in Mexico is to be avenged it must be
done by the United States Government.
The responsibility rests upon this govern
ment alone. 1t cannot be divided and
the suggestion that the United States
shall depend upon the help of a hall-dozen
Latin-Republics to perform duty which
concerns the United States alone is any
thing but agreeable to the American
people.
The murder of Americans in Mexico is
a problem for this country to solve. In
a variety ofways the responsibility which
rests on the Government has been shifted
and avoided. The last grotesque A c
conference which the help of Latin coun-
tries south was invited is still a painful
recollection. II the American govern.
ment can not or will not protect its citi-
zens on foreign lands or on the sea; if, as
Mr.. Bryan suggests, Americans should
stay at home least some belligerent power
be tempted to murder them, why not say
finally that this government can no
longer protect its citizens anywhere. and
that Americans have no right beyond the
borders of their own country that any
nation, no matter how mean and despi-
cable, is bound to respect?

The Newspapers Courage

The followin editorial under the
above caption recently appeared in the
Sharpsville, Pa, Advertiser:
Once in awhile somebody gets the idea
that the reason the local paper does not
report every scandal that comes to pub
lie knowledge is because the publisher is
afraid. That's not the reason. The rep
utable newspaper, especially in small
town, where everyone is u neighbor to
everyone else, takes no delight in giving
publicity to those things that have
brought disgrace to some family or heart.
ache to some wife or mother.
1t is much more pleasant to record the
good things that happen, to tell about
the incidents that tend to make life more
endurable and that uplift rather than
tear down, that bring joy instead of sor-
row, pride instead of heartache.
So If you don't always find in the Ad-
vertiser the delectable bit of gossip that
would doubtless make good reading"
and II you are inclined TO blame the ed
itor because he doesn't print all the
news, consider that some home has had
enough worry over unfortunate happen
ings and that the gossip and scandal
mongers of the community can and will
gladly and ghoulishly give sufficient pub
licity to the details to satisfy the lowest
tastes.
Incidentally it might be remarked here
that the most complaint of censored news
comes from people who have had in their
lives some things they are glad were not
given newspaper publicity.

THE WHOLE BODY
NEEDS PURE BLOOD

The bones, the muscles, and all the
organs of the body depend for their
strength and tone and healthy action
on pure blood.
IF the blood is very impure, the
bones become diseased; the muscles
become enfeebled, the step loses it's
elasticity, and there is inability to
perform the usual amount Of labor.
The skin loses its clearness, and
pimples, blotches and other eruptions
appear.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes pure
blood. 1t is positively unequaled in
the treatment of scrofula and other
humors, catarrh, rheumatism, dys-
pepsia, loss of appetite, that tired
feeling. Be sure to get Hoods and
get it today. All druggists.

For Stains.

For stains on light dresses, etc, lay
the garment fat on a table and cover
the stains with dry pipe clay. Leave
for half an hour, then shake out, and
apply a second lot if necessary. Take
out stains as soon after they are made
as possible, for if they are allowed
to dry in they are more difficult to re-

BASKET BALL
Hardwick Trims up P. A. in Fast Game

The second league basket ball game of
the series played here last Wednesday
night furnished plenty of excitement for
the fans and there was large number
present, many coming from out of town.
1t was a game filled with thrills for
everybody and while the supporters of
P. A. were in the majority. both teams
were given loyal support and good feel
ing prevailed throughout.
"A. took the lead at the start and
were consistent favorites up to the last
ten minutes of play, when the boys from
the granite town came from behind and
with a whirlwind finish, in which was
displayed fine quality of basket ball,
fairly played P. A. off their feet, snatch
ing victory from what had seemed sure
defeat by score of 10 to 10.
At the end of the first half the score
was to in favor of P. A. The locals
played strong game during this period,
showing fine team work and speed. The
visitors played clean and fast, but the
ball was kept in P. A. territory most of
the time. In the middle of the last half
H. A. let out few links and played rings
around the astonished locals, who, while
having hard luck in losing several easy
shots, were outclassed for the last few
minutes of play.

For the big Alaska rusn this year a total of thirty-six large steamships will be in regular operation. All of these will operate from Seattle, with the exception of three steamships, which will make Vancouver, B. C., their home port. In addition there will be two steamships sailing in June from San Francisco, and two expected to sail from Panama loaded with equipment for the government railroad. The total of thirty y-six in the regular service does not include the fleet of full-rigged ships and schooners operated by the different salmon canneries, chartered steam schooners, which may be announced later, nor the hundreds of tugs, barges, halibut schooners, whalers and many other small vessels which annually ply Alaska waters.
