be two OF the leading planks In the
democratic platform designed to
catch progressive votes. The child
labor plank is to be the main feature
OF the social welfare" clauses.
Those urging this plank desire 1t to
show progressives that the demo-
cratic party is willing to abandon its
historic states rights stand on this
subject. A canvass of strength, pro-
gresSve democrats claim, has shown
that the old-line democrats here have
not sufficient strength to block this
plank.

New Jersey an invitation to Join the

based on Colby's reputation Of

considered orphaned by Roosevelt's
decision not to be their candidate.

attempted to send his former en-
thusiastic followers stumbling along
to destruction. The progressive
democracy cordially and sincerely
offers them safety"
McC0mbs' phrase. stumbling
along" was adapted from Colby's
statement OF yesterday. Colby said
among other things:
The progressives have sustained
a head-on collision with their lead

look the situation over and decide
what to do; but we, too. will look
the field over and determine what
we will do"
McCombs said today he expects to
see many men like Colby who were
prominent In the progressives' con-
vention declare for Wilson soon. He
limited the democratic platform may

That Indefinite Article.

The rule dealing with the indefinite
article preceding words commencing
with 'u' (when pronounced "yu') does
not appear to be an adamantine one.
Like Macauiay, with his fondness for
IAN" university, many of our best
writer's and speakers prefer to ignore
the rule and back their fancy in this
little question Of cuphony. AS for the
man In the street. the matter has long
ago been settled in favor of "a" in all
cases where the initial III" has the
'yu' sound, partly no doubt because
such phrases as IAN united people do
not come trippingIy off the tongue and
have an old fashioned. pedantic flavor
And there are sensitive ears that will
prefer "a unique" to the more studied

Burning Up the Road.

The Kansas City Star said volume
on the subject OF automobiles recently
in the following few words:
ga motor car overturned on country
road recently. The accident was being
discussed in group of motorists, who
were specializing as to its cause. ANY
how said one. member Of the group,
you can bet that they were burning up
the road AMI the rest acquiesced.
Statistics aren'5 available, but it is a
safe guess that s. per cent Of all motor
car accidents happen to people who were
burning up the road 1t is the rare8t
thing in the world for car going at a
reasonable speed to get into trouble.
But when the driver starts to burn up
the road things begin to happen"
i Owners of automobiles do not buy
them for use as le:hal weapons. They
do not desire to kill or injure other peo-
pie Or themselves. But sometimes they
forget the power and danger of the ma
chine they are driving.
| II every owner OF an automobile would
keep his car down to reasonable speed
and keep it always under control, there
would be practically no accidents, nc
court fines, no vain regrets over mishaps
to persons that might have beea pre-
vented. Our good roads would la S
much longer and the taxpayer would be
more willing to add to their number

Indiana and Time.

Certain Of the reservation Indians
still cling to the calendar of their an
cestors. The Indian method was to
compute time by sleeps and moons.
A sleep is twenty4four hours, and
moon is a month There is also
midmoon, where the sun Is at IL
o'clock meridian. This hour is indi-
Gated by pointing overhead.
When all Indian pointed quarter way
up the sky he meant o'clock; When
he pointed quarter way down he meant
o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern
horizon and sunset the western.
When there was moon the time
was indicated in the same way as by
the sun. Were an Indian asked the
distance to certain place or how far
he had come he would say so many
sleeps, or days travel. A sleep, as
describing distance, was about thirty
five miles when walking deliberately
or from fifty to seventy-five miles ii
going in haste with a message.-Phii

The First Atlas,

The first modern atlas was the work
Of Abraham Ortelius. Dutch geogra-
pher, who died SIS years ago. His
monumental treatise, entitled The
atrum Cribs Terrarum," was first pub
lished at Antwerp in 1910 and was re-
vised and reissued five times during
the authors lifetime. 1t was Il folio
volume containing nearly husdred
maps, representing the different coun-
tries and continents as they were then
known. Although this atlas was q
momentous achievement, yet a bright
schoolboy today could draw maps from
memory with better approximation
to correctness. Even England and
Scotland appear in this pioneer volume
with amazing distortions of coast line
and relative area, and many other
maps in the volume bear only slight
resemblance to those Of today.-New
York World.
