An Infringement,

La FollettlSm is not progreSSiviSm
That is the stout declaration of a
group Of ''Progressives" of 1912, fol-
lowers of Theodore Roosevelt. They
issue a formal protest against the use
or the party name that has been given
to the amalgamated dissenters under
the La Toilette leadership, and chal-
lenge the right of the Wisconsin radi-
cal to lead any array of American
voters as Progressives.
This protest cannot fail to have an
important political effect in this cam
paign. The La Toilette candidacy
chiefly appeals to the voters of the
West, where in 1912 Roosevelt was
particularly strong. However dissatis-
f1ed the farmers of that region may
be with conditions generally they are
not, as reports now indicate, swarm
ing toward La Toilette as the savior
in such numbers as to assure him a
sufficient number If electoral votes to
throw the election into Congress,
where he alone would in effect make Tic
choice for the Chief Executive of the
United States. If the farmers Of the
West are now shaken in their faith
In La Toilette as a true Progressive
his chance of carrying that necessary
number of States to block the electoral
college will be materially diminished
welt ProgresSives.
The 4S Roosevelt followers in 1912,
who now protest against the misuse
Of the word progressive, make a
strong case against the La Toilette
infringement. The progressivism of
purpose was to improve American in
stitutions, not to substitute others
Tor them; it stood for political and So
cial justice, not economic revolution; !;
it believed in democracy, not social
ism; it sought the welfare of all the
people, not the welfare of class against
class"
The La Toilette movement aow say
the veterans of 1912, is the reverse Of
all that was sought then by the Roose-
welt Progressives. La Toilette is the
avowed candidate Of the Socialist
party. accompanied by "incongruous
groups invited as class blocs rather
than as citizens holding common
views, who agree only in their dis
agreement"
A particularly striking point is
made by the 4S protestants when they
note La Follette's refusal to join the
Progressive movement of 1912. He
then, it is pointed out, denounced the
Roosevelt secession on the ground
that the Progressive Republicans
should Eemain within the party and
maintain their organization there.
The 48 say: What Senator La Fol
lette would not do for a sound pro-
gressive movement because he was
not the candidate, he now does for
destructive radical one because he is
its candidate

IN TODAY'S SPOTLIGHT
BY PAUL Y. COLLINS

upon the battlefield The Society OF
the Cincinnati, founded May 10. 1888,
by American and French officers of
the cantonments of the Continental
Army on the Hudson, was the hrst
organization to be formed after the
close of the war of the revolution.
Thirteen State societies were or
ganized in this country and one in
France-the latter under the direct
patronage of Louis XVI was dis
persed when the reign of terror came
to France in 1898.
There was great reverence IN
literature. and art for the classics in
the latter part of the eighteenth CEN
tnry; hence, according to the con-
stitution of the new organization;
1.-The officers of the American Army
having been generally taken from
the citizens Of America, possess high
yeneration for the character of that
illustrious Roman, Lucius QuintaS
Cincinnatus, and being resolved to
follow his example, by returning to
their citizenship, they think they may
with propriety denominate themselves
The Society of the CINCINNATI This
expression signified the spirit of de-
mocracy rather than the tory sug-
gestion of founding a new kingdom.
In Boston there hangs notable
portrait Of Gen. George Washington,
wearing the insignia OF the society.
He was it's first president-one who
had left patriotic militarism for the
life and duties OF q no less patriot tic
civilian citizen.
The second patriotic organization
to be formed was the Society of the
War of 1912. During the war with
England, in which we fought for the
right to protect our merchant ships,
the British after capturing Washing
ton City, proceeded to attack Balti-
more by land and sea- The battle of
North Point, near Baltimore, was
fought September IL. The following
night the British attempted to land
in nearby cove, unaware that it was
protected by two batteries. The
guns of the batteries and those of
Fort McHenry opened fire and within
an hour those of the enemy who
could get back were out of reach Of
the guns, and those who could not
found a watery grave in the placid
waters Of the Patapsco.
The following morning Francis
Scott Key OF Georgetown, who had
been taken prisoner and was on board
a British vessel, looked out upon
saw the "the flag was still there"
Upon his release he wrote our stirring
antbem-The Star Spangled Banner.
The defenders of Baltimore and
Fort McHenry at once formed mill
tary organizations. Later they
merged, and as one society had q
continuous existence under various
changes of names, until it united
with four other State societies and
formed the present national society.

and fingered until Wednesday night,
when he died.
Mr.. Mcclellan was man widely
known in newspaper circles, and idol
lied his family. His heart was very
tender and his ambition was largely
oentered in the career of his son,
Robert, now in the American diplo-
matte service at johannesburg,
South Africa. Mr.. Mcclellan was ac-
tive in making ST. Joseph a more
progressive city. He had bought the
Gazette of that city a year and a
half ago and was its publisher at
the time of his death. He was preSi-
dent of the Airplane Association and
had been able to make st. Joseph Il
station for the cross-continent air
service. During the funeral services
held at the Methodist Church, four
airplanes circled over the section,
dropping flowers later upon the cor
tege to the depot where the body
was taken en- route to a receiving
vault in Springfield, Ohio, where the
McClellans formerly lived. Mr.. Nc
Clellan was about SO years of age
and had achieved many notable sue
cesses in his life as a newspaper
man. He was the guiding genius of
the Star League, of Indiana.-three
nationally known papers still pub
lished at Indianapolis, Muncie and
Terre Haute, of that state.

a literary genius, to his vision as a
