q DAY
~ BRUCE ATTQN

THE progressive movement in
Il politics seemed destined to do
great things, during the first fifteen
years of this century. The follow
ers of Roosevelt, Wilson, Bryan, La
Toilette and the rest looked eagerly
and confidently for a new dawn.
And then, during and after the
war, the movement collapsed; today
the new freedom" seems more re-
mote than it did in 1912; Arranged
don seems, after all, to have been a
lost cause.
Why should this be? Well,
Farewell to Reform" by John
Chamberlain, studies the progress
sive movement with admirable
thoroughness and intelligence, and
offers an explanation very like that
reached previously by Lincoln
Steffens.
The chief trouble, says Mr.. Cham
berlain, was that the progressiveS
failed to think things through.
They failed, in short, to see that
oppression, graft, favoritism, and
control of the few by the many are
inherent in the profit system.
They wanted to get back to the
dawn of the factory system, when
such a move was manifestly i'm
possible.
So, today, their reforms look in
effective.
Wilson and Roosevelt come in for
some severe criticism in this book.
Mr.. Chamberlain calls La Toilette
the greatest of the progreSsives;
but even he, says Mr.. Chamberlain,
failed to see that progressive
must, in the end, become either a
tired cynic-or a revolutioniSt.

The National Party

TOHN ZAHND, national chairman
J of the National party, writes to
object to phraseology employed IN
describing the recent ousting from
the fold of Ward B. Hiner, its CAN
didate for Governor.
The chairman says as follows:
"a member of the National party
Just brought to this Office copy
of The Times, Volume "A, No. 1873,
date, Dec. 10, 1882.
ION Page Is under "They Tell
Me:
This is to inform you that Ward
B. Hiner did not resign from the
National party Dec. l. We quote
from his letter of that date as fol-
lows:
Now, Mr.. Zahnd, you are to be
admired for the courage you have
and the stand you are taking on a
question you believe in, and find
no fault with what you believe. You
have spent considerable time, I
realize that, and money, all of which
is admirable.
"'I realize our whole tax system,
and our government system, our
money system is run in wretched
way. I am not interested in run
ming for Office from now on, as an
honor or for profit. 1 will vote as
I see fit, and no doubt will vote
the National party principles. I
shall take no part in any other
movement, such as I have in the
past
"As the National party takes no
side in the wet-dry question, we of
course objected to being claSSed with
one who forgot the party welfare
and was caught with wet goods on
Nov. Il and quoted as our candidate
for Governor. And of course we
could not allow any member to
bring this upon the party without
protest.
LAS we had 2,O89 votes for Secre-
tary of State, Mr.. Granger of Ham,
mond.
AS the party has members in
various states, and as our present
referendum votes show, we must re-
sent the sarcasm that Zahnd is the
National party.
This is an outright insult to the
whole party, and we can take plenty
into court and testify that Zahnd
is not the whole show. We must
ask The Times to retract this state
ment and furnish the National Office
with a marked copy, or we, of
course, must see what can be done.
1t is time that newspapers must
tell the truth, or it is time for people
to know why such affairs are con-
tinued without proper protests. I

and for a moment she thought he
was going to remain standing, tow

her before she even began to speak.
Instead, he compromised by
dropping to the broad, cushioned
arm Of the couch, and with a little
nod indicated that he was ready.

stopping to pick her words. "It's

knew that must be the spot where
the luckless bundle had rested.
Instantly he was on his feet. Out
ragged pride, defiance, anger blazed
in the dark-lashed, gray eyes so far

TOM and Mr.. Statlander were,
Il Linda supposed, safely buried
again in sales figures and promo
ton campaigns on the front lawn.
They could wait. Linda hurried
downstairs and out the screen door.
Shaughnessey simply had gone
from one room to another; lights
were now blazing in the living room
Of the garage suite. She hesitated.
Anything so ticklish as what she
planned most certainly needed
Toms assistance.
But some one must stay with Mr..
Statlander. Summoning all her
courage, she ran quickly across the
dew-wet grass and stopped at the
foot of the stairs.
"Mr. Shaughnessey, Mr.. Shaugh-
nesseyl" she called up. Are you
working? May interrupt you a
moment?"
And then as he came to the door

some surprise. With an involuntary
look back at the warm, soft dark
which she was leaving for a possibly
dangerous adventure, Linda ran
briskly up the steps and faced him
in the doorway.
"You don't want to see me-" she
said, and I don't blame you. But
I feel must-well, straighten
things out a little and-won't you
ask me imp"
Surprised into a return to his
usual gallantry of manner, he stood
aside and bowed her toward the
large room.
In his colorful dressing gown, he
looked three times his ordinary
height and width. Pipe in hand, he
surveyed her rather grimly from the
doorway which he completely filled.
"Sit down, won't you?" she in

covered chair and indicating the

Though she could not help feeling
more lenient toward Shaughnessey,
she knew he had shamelessly made

she stood up. A light in the upper
floor Of the garage had gone out.

Council Urged to Enforce Law Against Itiner-
 ant Salesmen

An enthusiastic meeting of the Juneau Commercial Association, President J. J. Connors, presiding was held in the Council Chambers last night, at which F w. Harris, chairman of the membership com mittee, announced that twenty-two Juneau business people had paid the full years dues in advance and that within the next week the number would reach fifty.
 A motion was passed by the gen. eral meeting instructing Presi- dent Connors to appoint a com mittee to wait on the City Coun- cil and urge cooperation in mak- ing present city ordinances rela- tive to peddlers effective.
 Itinerents Here
 It was pointed out that an un- usual number of so-called itiner- ant merchants are coming into Juneau and endeavoring to sell their wares without proper license. Members of the association cited several instances in which local people suffered losses through mis- representation on the part of these peddlers, and after they left town had no recourse, and at the same time the city received no revenue from them in the way of licenses.
 It is planned to raise the charter membership fee of SIP year to $25 after July l.
 Educational Campaign
 Harley Turner, Chairman of the Credit Committee, submitted com prehensive report which was ap- proved by the attending members. The advertising committee will im- mediately start a Better Juneau, Buy at Home" educational public ity campaign.
