A new party is being organized
in Nebraska-or the revival of an
old one-called the progressive par
ty. The Wall Street Journal doubt
less discovers a danger that it may
grow into something that will take
from the republicans few seats in
the senate, for it has not forgotten
the populists, the silver republicans,
the Bull Moosers and the Non-Par-
tisan league. 1t is curious what an
attraction those parties have for
the northwestern farmers. Prob
ably it is due to their having re-
peatedly been stung by accepting re-
publican promises. Certainly the
moral is plain-they might vote the
democratic ticket. The Journal de-
votes the best part of column to
crushing the new party in its very
inception-which would be some in.
dication of its possessing bot hvirtue
and possibilities.

HIGHER Prices For
Sugar Predicted

Washington, Jan. J.-Hlgner
priccs for sugar MAJ be expected,
according to the results of an in
vestigation into the situation in the
sugar industry made public by the
commerce department.
"The market" the department
said" is now entirely uninfluenced
nv anv artificial control, and the
present low price level manifestly
cannot long continue without re-
stricting the production of sugar be-
low the worlds demands and again
creating high prices"

Mr.. Tincher, of Kansas, in the ex-

house for a tariff tax of 1000 per

Mr.. Mann, of Illinois, who tries to
keep his feet on the ground, said in
reply: LET there be a few more

PALATKA'S REVIVAL.

Next Friday evening at least three
of the churches of the city will unite
in an evangelical campaign under the
leadership of Rev. Robert johnson,
more affectionately known among his
followers, perhaps, as "Bob." Its pur-
pose is obvious and its need is evil
dent. The success or failure of the
effort to bring about more univer-
sal Christian spirit in Palatka will
depend very largely on the attend
ance, for at such gatherings the de-
liverance of Gods word is sure to
touch the heart of the most hardened
sinner if he but give himself up to
honest consideration of its import and
meaning.
Many great churchmen differ as to
the efficacy of revivals. No doubt
many laymen also question the advan-
tages of its final results, but we can
feel very sure of one thing-it does
no one any harm and does do a great
many people great deal OF good
Bishop Bickersteth said "True reli-
gion needs no revivals," but all the
people haven't true religion. Rev. l.
H. Skinner, himself a great evange-
list in his day, said that "revivals are
like the showers that water the
earth" and thhat great pulpit orator
J. B. Heard said "the great use OF
revival seems to be that it cuts OIL
the escape of many who would flee
from the presence of God"
Great patience and caution are nee
ded in a revival, inasmueh as it Is ex
ceedingly difficult to provoke reli
gious excitement, and oftentlmes a:
difficult when it is provokedtto guide
it to saving and sanctifying issues
There are many Christians who like
about once in twelve months, to have
a good revival in their hearts; the!
think that, like the year, they cal
make up for freezing and showing
all winter by period of intense hea
in the summer.
We need some intense heat IN "a
latka.

A Three-Shot Sample.
Good three-shot holes are tho
rarest Of all types. Ninety-nine
per cent of them are no good at all.
On most Of them you can miss
either your drive or second shot
and still get home in 3.
AS a rule they are dull and un-
interesting. The greatest type ]
ever saw is No. Z at Pine Valley.
Here drive. second and the pitch
must be played the right way to
get on in 3. There is a wide. deeb
trap up the fairway that cannot BE-
carried by the second IL the drive
is poor. and yet must be carried il
one is TO get home in 3. where there
is another deep trap guarding the
front of the green.
For the fine three-shot hole. IN
asmuch as IL calls for long hitting,
there should be plenty Of room
from the tee, with the fairway
frightened up as the green is ap-
preached and the green itself well
trapped and guarded. There is q
good type of this sort at Bellport
L. J., where the drive must be -
the right, the brassie to the left
and then the pitch well controlIe'
to miss the horseshoe pit partiall,
surrounding the green. One OF the
best ways TO make a good throe-
shot hole is 10 surround the green
with a deep pit. where only a
mashie or a mashie niblick for the
third stroke can be employed.
But the average three-shot hole
is merely long and tiresome. put
ting no premium on good play. ]
have mentioned here only a few
samples to give some idea of what
1 consider good holes without at
tempting to cover all sections.

thing that makes a fighter. above
all else.
Each month, since he began boxing.
Blake has sent Smith into the club
tournaments for one bout, against
the biggest men he could find.
The first month he knocked out
Hazeltine, a big heavyweight. in 3
rounds. Next month he knocked out
Hazeltine in the first round. A
month later he knocked out Sailor
Bolts in two. No. other local ANA
teur will meet him. and unless some
stranger Is imported. and deprived OF
a sight OF Smith until he gets into
the ring, it's likely he'll have no more
bouts before the championships at
Boston.
When in the ring, Smith puts his
hands up and wades in. hitting short.
straight blows He never swings. He
has a wicked punch with either hand.
His defense Is undeveloped as yet.
but Blake is working on that. He
can take a hard punch without feel
ing it. and his natural instinct is to
attack and trade blow for blow until
something's drops. Which is a fairly
good defense in itself.
Dempsey Takes n Look.
Jack Dempsey saw Smith one day
in training. but declined to sit at the
ringside when Smith was fighting
Bolts, on the ground that he may be
fighting Smith some day and he didn't
want any advantage.
That day will hardly come in less
than two years. Blake intends to
take Smith along slowly and give
him chance to fight his way to the
top. Too many good men have been
spoiled by being rushed In against
the champions before they were suffi-
GENTLY experienced.
But when the big fellow starts he's
likely to make an awful chash among
the ''contenders."
II Jess Willard and Ralph Smith
were starting at the same time, Smith
would be the more likely prospect
for a champion. He has much of
Dempsey's aggressiveness, and no
trace of the lazy good nature that
kept Willard from being ar active
champion after his one great fight
against Jack johnson at Havana.
