Just as we were inclining to the
opinion that the President should be
elected by popular vote, seven letters
arrived telling US that Miss Geld didn't
write "The Purple Cow but that Gclett
Burgess did. One contrib, A. A. II. r.,
says it was Gillette Borgess.; and "Did
not Oliver Herford," asks William II.
Ford, "write these lines five or ten years
ago." And now we are for an absolute
monarchy.

an opportunity for the convention

The Democratic nominee for presi-

first of all, to the progressive senti-
ment Of the country and particularly
to that of the west.
The platform should be just to labor

invite the confidence of Americans Of

Neither can have the slightest appeal
for the progressive wing of the party
which came so near wrecking Repub-
licanism eight years ago. What Roose-
welt would say to such combination
of candidates and principles may be
better imagined than put in words.
The Democrats now have the chance
to make the coming contest a clear

progressivism, between the old

WILL PRICES
GO LOWER?

. Many authorities believe the aver
age prices will 60 lower as time pass
es.
II this is true and we believe it is,
a dollar saved now will buy more then.
1t is always well to save, but saving
now will prove more profitable than
ever because of the probable increase
in the purchasing power of the dollar.
Sl.oO week saved means $6S5,32 in
10 years.
$500 week saved means $S,176.60 in
10 years.
This is enough to buy a good home
