We Can Be Thankful For
Idealists-We Are Their
Debtors For All Progress

The Progressive party need never regret its
birth and Us tenure % life. tho It's official end
came all too soon, thru It's belief IN and worship
OF what II conceived TO be savior and hero.
The tangible work that II did as a party during
its short lifetime WAS small compared with the
actual ends 1t accomplished in giving a certain
progressive impetus TO the Democratic party and.
one might say. TO al but few aged standpatters
and very young and inexperienced men
We believe that the existence Of the Progress
sive party and It's influence upon all kinds and
conditions OF people. was largely responsible for
the dissatisfaction OF the Republican party with
the negative. unprogressvism OF Mr. Hughes
and was large factor in bringing about his
defeat
We believe that this same progressivism Il
partly responsible for the broader outlook and
international spirit Of the American people which
became articulate thru the Presidents address
10 the senate.
We believe that II the United States Il a prom
inent factor In bringing about permanent peace
in the world. the progressives will have been
one OF the forces which has helped TO mold pub
lie opinion. without which backing no president
can hope TO succeed
For this was party OF practical ideaiists and
as such, impressed itself upon this country and
we are coming 20 know tha, the idealistic thought
Of the world whether It achieves action or not
can never be completely lost
Without such thought: without the apparently
futile peace talk: societies. organizations AMI
published opinions, such address as that OF the
president and such sympathetic reception a.
u received IN the world. would never have oc.
CURED.
Therefore, Lee the idealists 20 on without loss
OF hope or faith.
Let them stand By their principles. whatever
they may be-
Let them contfnHe 10 think. and speak. and
act. and whenever the pressure becomes great
enough. the means Will be supplied to center Il
all in a single point when great and courageous
act will give IL 10 the world

Credit Ii Due State
Board For This Very Pat
and Equitable Decision

The decision of the Michigan securi-
~ commission in the matter of the
otoek Of the Harroun Motors corpora
In n verdict for the stockholders and
opho1ds the point contended for by this
nowspaper. which questioned only the
sa1s Of the stock before it had been APP
peoved by the commission and the sensa-
donal and misleading advertising of the
brokers engaged In its sale.
The motives Of the Harroun corpora
uaa itself were never part of the issue
raised by The Times.
Promises were made in the advertising
hat were unreasonable. The brokers
made contradictory and bungling state
xents concerning the potentialities in an
Investment, according to the report of
Richard H. Lee, special counsel for the
Associated AID Clubs of the World. who
made q personal investigation of the
brokers In Detroit.
The licenses of these brokers, incident
ally, remain suspended.
The first restriction is that the $4,000
900 worth Of stock given the original pro-
motors must be held in escrow with the
commission until the corporation shows
earnings Of six per cent on its entire cap
italization of 100000.
The second restriction applies to the
eoEporation's advertising relating TO the
saIe Of further stock. II requires that al
advertisements shall be submitted TO the
commission for approval before being
published.
A vote of thanks from stockholders
and the public at large is due TO the
securities commission for its very pat and
most just and equitable decision.
