A new national party, which is as
yet unnamed, had it's birth in Chica-
go last Wednesday. 1t proposes to
elect a half dozen senators, and be-
tween 20 and 40 members of the
house of representatives in 1918. 1t
is to be recruited from the ranks of
the prohibition, progressive, single
tax, social democrat and socialist par
ties. A tentative draft of the plat
form to be submitted approves uni
versal suffrage, the initiative and ref
erendum, the recall, the short bal
lot, the executive budget, and proper
tional representation. National pro-
hibition is strongly demanded and the
declaration made that all traffic in
liquor must be outlawed. Extinction
of land monopoly, public ownership of
coal mines, oil wells, telegraph and
telephone systems and other public
utilities and the use of union labor
in all governmental activities are
among the demands made.

LaFollette's great show at Washing
ton came off as expected, on Satur-
day. He mad advertised it well and
he had a crowd, but it is safe to say
that everyone went away feeling that
the pompadour statesman had made
his last grand stand play and that it
was not worth the time and trouble
taken to be present. From the tenor
of newspaper reports all felt that
he should receive his just desserts
be ousted from the L. S. senate. His
seditious addresses made in his re-
cent trip in the northwest, shows him
not only to be a dangerous man at
large, but man whose every move is
against his country and planned to
aid and assist the central powers. He
has been fairly successful in the past
in gaining favor among the voters.
but it is different this time: has fc;-

SKILLED WORK WOMEN

With American Illustrated weekies reproducing photographs of women at work in the munition plants of Great Britian. 1t has probably never occurred 10 the average reader that women have for some time past. oe- cupied much the same position in many Of Uncle Sans factories.
 At the plant Of the Chalmers Motor company, in Detroit. women are em- ployed at many tasks heretofore dete- gated exclusively to male employees. And they are not merely earning mens wages. They have proven to the satisfaction of the factory heads that they are more painstaking and ef- ficlent in every way.
 Starting in the top department where the work of cutting and sewing materials for the tops and side cur tains was exactly suited to their nature, the use Of female help has spread to q half dozen other departt ments. Everywhere the result has been the same, increased efficiency and greater output.
 For while during the. past summer skilled slabnr was exceedingly scarce and many of the women employees obtained their first chance at that

these conflicting representation Of
God and religion are distracting. SO
our pilgrim hears great, glowing eu!o-

informed that such blessed guarantees
Of confirmation were limited to a re-

upon the faith acquired through the
reading Of those things. He sees much

profession and then fail in its most

touch with some Of the same, finds a
sickening amount of the sounding
