TRUE AMERICAN SPIRIT WINS

named Hoover, a boy from Cali

has wc"ked in al parts of the
world and who is now chairman
or the Belgian relief fund. Her
bert PoOver represents the spir-
it Of America. He has fed the
people of nation, and has put
in working order for that poor
country.

They will see a procession of

of America, the spirit that de-

FOUR YEARS AGO AND NOW

The nation is at work. The ma
ton is at peace. The nation is
accomplishing the destiny of
Democracy. Four years ago the
nation was not at work. With
resources boundless, with hun
dred million people eager to
achieve and 40, commerce Ian
guished, industries halted, men
were idle. The country strug-
gled in the tolls of an made
quate financial system. Credit
was at the mercy of piracy. The
small business man was bound
hand and foot. Panic hung like
a storm cloud over the business
world.
Now, bursting grainaries,
teeming factories, crowded rail-

Speaking at a dinner tender
ed by National Progressiyes on
the eve OF his departure for
South America, October 3, 1913,
his farewell address" Col.
Roosevelt declared;
"Tke party is solid and it is
the firm determination Of the
rank and file, no less than the
leaders to preserve its political
entity, its solidity and and in
tegrity." D."
Men and women, / would
continue the fight even if stood
entirely alone. l shall continue
it with 8 glad and proud heart
because it was made in your
company"
"Win or lose, whateYer the
outcome, l am with you, and |
am for this cause to fight to the
end. We are uvulcated in this
great war for righteousness and
while life lasts we can not and
will not abandon it"
"The men who believe that we
will ever betray these ideals or
abandon the task 70 which We
have set ourselves, do not know
us and can not ever guess at the
faith that inspires US"
This movement will never go
back, and whatever may betide
in the future, of Lne thing the
disciples Of an easy opportunism
may rest assured will never
abandon the principles to which
we progressiyes have pledged
ourselves and l will never aban-

Terrible TeddyBefOre and After
1916


In his message declining the
Progressive non ination for
President Col. Roosevelt declar-
ed:
"Our loyalty is to the fact and
not merely the name, and least
of all to the party name"
"Yet it has become entirely
evident that the people under
existing conditions are not pre-
pared to accept a new party"
"The progressive national Or
ganiZation no lon%er offers the
means whereby we can make
these convictions effective in our
national life. Under such cir
cumstances our duty is to do the
best we can, and not to sulk be-
cause our leadership is reject
ed"
Under existing conditions,
the nomiantion of third ticket
would, in my judgment, be
merely move in the interest of
the election of Mr.. Wilson. l
shall therefore strongly support
Mr.. Hughes. l cannot accept
the nomination of a third tick
ct. 1 do not believe that there
should be a third ticket"
Without any regard to the
personal feelings of any us may
be as regards the action of the
Republican convention, | wish
very solemnly to ask the repre-
sentatives of the Progressive
party to consider at this time
only the welfare of the people of
the United States"
Il earnestly bespeak from my
fellow progressives their un-
grudging support of Mr..
Hughes"

THE ISLE OF BARATARIA

There is an isle in Celina Bay,
The Isle of Barataria,
An isle I've longed to see with joy
Nor think my heart would ever
cloy.
An isle of sun amid stormy sea
An isle where hearts are full of
glee
An isle without weeping eye
An isle without a sick mans sigh
No canon laws to chafe you sore
No civil laws for grafter's store,
Where one may touch loving hand,
And all can him well understand.
III HE me away to this sweet isle,
Where songbirds every hour be-
guile
And chipmunks play the livelong day
Mid trees SO grand and flowers so
gay.
And there I'll speak to Him alone,
Who gave his heart all my own,
And listen to his promptings there
Mid nature sweet and beauty rare.
Mid roses red and violets blue,
And morning glorys decked with
dew
With Heaven above me all in veiw,
viii you, sweet darlig, come there
to.

MORE STEEL FOR USE AT HOME

American steel production for
1916 is estimated at 42,000,000 tons,
as against 31,000,0uO tons in 1912.
The latter was the record under Re-
publican tariffs. German production
for this year is estimated at $780,
600 tons and the British slightly less.
The interesting fact is that only Is
per cent of the total steel product, as
shown by the U. S. Steel Report, was
exported.
If the total steel exports are deduc-
ted from the aggregate production

domestic demand only will still ex-
