Dear Mr.. Flanagan:

| Dear Mr.. Flanagan:
Whom must l see about having
some Chero-Cola signs put up along
the streets?
! believe in signs, of course-all
kinds of them And when l stop to
pick up pin. l don't feel called up
on to explain that needed a pin
just then and that kind Providence
had apparently furnished it for me.
Though really quite often from
bending over TO get the pin l have
lost one that already had.
Things DO happen funny, don't
they? The other day l started up
town to get Chero-Cola, when
black cat streaked right across the
street. Well, a cat across your path
means disappointment SO | decid
ed right away that that wasn't my
path Orange street is a hard street
to turn of of, and had to go back
quite a way to find cross street,
but i escaped the cat Then Grady
Deem came along and asked me to
take a ride l certainly accepted
but l had my mind on the Chero-
Cola, and I was wishing we would
see a Chero-Cola sign somewhere,
and finally I made a wish on the Ma
tai Hay in front of the Lake Region
Land Co.'s office-I didn't think the
fates ought to expect me to see a
whole load of hay in Florida for a
few years yet. Tt worked. When
we went around the block again, he
asked me if I'd like a cold drink, and
I said Chero-Cola so quick that he
knew I had it all thought up.
was disappointed though, after
all; he didn't ask me to have anoth-
er, and when I went back past the
L. R. L. Co.'S, they had taken the
hay inside. I wished again for a
good convincing sign along the
street somewhere. Please let me
know about this, so we can have
them put up soon.
Your True Friend, GLADYS.

WHITE SWALLOWS HUGHES.

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE, the yocicrous Kansas
w progressive has announced ms intention OF SnppoF-
Ing the Hughes candidacy in the impending campaign
In this matter we are much like the German farmer
who had lust marketed a load OF tat hogs. Asked how
much they weighed he replied They didn't weigh as
much as thought they would but didn't think they
would"
We imagined the uncompromislng Mr. White might bN
considering the wisdom of supporting President Wilson
In this campaign but we didn't think he would. Prelu'
dice deep-seatcd unyeldng adamantne prejudice pre-
vents,
II is true nevertheless as President Wilson points out
IN his speech of acceptance that 1--WE have in four years
come very near to carrying out the progressive party
platform; for also progrcsSWcS. About the only
thing for which the pogrcsSyes stood four years age
which has not been crytal7ed in the forms OF law by the
present administration is the recall OF judicial decision,
For the life OF us we cannot understand how genuine
progressive accept Hughes Aside from the fact that
he is opposed to boSsm his whole is rcplctc with
evidence of s,andpat sympathes As governor ot Mes
York he opposed the income tax amendment permitted no
opportunity to escape him for dcnoUncing the initiative
asd referendum and his campaign speeches viii
be searched in vain for a good word in behalf OF social
justice.
We can understand however how the galvanized pro
ercsyc rushes TO the Hughes standard He never
anything else than an idol-worshppng republican The
Rooscyctau noise swept him temporarily off his feet
And he right glad that Roosevelt betrayed the party
hi, own making at Chicago last June in order to heal th
breach in the old party's ranks.

a, Mr. White The bulk OF the leaders may desert wit
vision, OF office and power dazzling their view. but tn
rank and file being driven to the conclusion that
would be a difficult matter to find progressiv

has been.
