SATURDAY EVENING- TOPEKA, KANSAS- OCTOBER 4,1913- SATURDAY EVENING- FIVE CENTS WORK FORM'ADOO Secretary of the Treasury Gets Busy on Plans For the Enforcement of the Sew Tariff Law. MARKS AN EPOCH, SAYS BRYAN Is Best Measure Passed Since the Civil War. He Compares It With the Wilson-Gorman Bill. Washington. Oct. 4.-With the Demo cratic tariff law consummated activity today was transferred to the treary department, where Secretary McAdoo began development of a plan of en forcement. Treasury officials declare the new act will be the lowest tariff law In the country's history, with the possible ex ception of the Walker tariff of 1848 and its amendatory tariff of 1857. Presi dent Wilson and the congressional framers of the law declared it was a tariff." and freely ex- ,i ,-nvirtinn mat uusuira ho invifforated and sustained through its operations. Opiate were equally confident it would afford the government ample revenue. It is roughly estimated that $10000. 000 worth of merchandise held in bond soon will be withdrawn and payment of duty made under the new law. -om-pared with the Payne-Aldrich act, this will mean a loss of $10,000,000 to the government. Treasury officials main tained these withdrawals would have no perceptible effect upon the business of the country. The most difficult administrative feature is the income tax provision. This entirely new venture will require the work of experts to draft a workable plan that will insure the government s receiving its lawiui uues taxable citizen. William H. Osborn, commissioner of internal revenue, to day began the task of formulating as simple a plan as possible. L. F. Speer of Bangor, Pa., at present chief of the corporation tax division of the treas ury department, it is believed will be appointed deputy commissioner of in ternal revenue in immediate charge of the income tax. Bryan Is Pleased. Secretary Bryan today endorsed the new tariff law as the best tariff meas ure since the Civil war and predicted the early passage of the currency bill. "All who have taken part in prepar ing and passing it are entitled to great credit," said Mr Bryan in a statement. "It is a better bill than we -were able to pass 20 years ago and I rejoice that political conditions are such as to make the present law possible. "The Wilson bill was compelled to carry a burden that will not fall upon the present law and ought not to have fallen on that law. The Wilson law provided for an income tax, which was held unconstitutional by a divided vote, the one majority having been obtained by a change of opinion on the part of one judge between the two hearings of the case. The nulli fication of the income tax portion of the Wilson law reduced the govern ment income until it would not meet the expenses of the government and this compelled an increase of indebt edness that threw upon the bill an un deserved odium which together with the fact that the senate deprived the bill of some of its best features, rob bed the party of the benefit which would ordinarily have come to it from a reduction in import duties. Then, too, the bill went into operation at a time when financial conditions were bad and many attributed to the law the defects for which it was not at all responsible. "I mention the law of 19 years ago. because it is the only thing since the war with which we can compare the present law. Both economic as well as political condition make it pos sible to do now what could not be done then. "October 3 marks an important epoch in the economic history of the generation and I am confident that it will not be long before the country will be able to celebrate a second tri umph for the president, congress, the party and the country when the new currency bill passes and receives the president's signature." Busy Bay at Custom House. Xew York. Oct. 4. The first ef fect of the new tariff to which Mr. Wilson's signature was written last night was seen early today when the clerical force at the customs house was increased by 15 men in anticipa tion of one of the busiest days in the history of this port. The customs of ficials began business an hour earlier than usual to take care of the flood of applications for release of the great tore of imports which has accumulat ed in bonded warehouses awaiting the tariff cuts. In no customs district in the coun try will there be greater activity dur ing the first few days of the new tar iff than at the port of Xew York for in the 4S bonded warehouses there is over $70,000,000 worth of goods await ing withdrawals. Importers have been impatient to get out their goods n the market and it is expected thev will wish to withdraw half of this great store at once. There is almost everv conceivable thing in the warehouses but the chief things are cottons, linens, woolens, furs, silks, nuts, leather goods, dried fruits, pickled fish and leaf tobacco GAME POSTPONED. Osage City and Topeka High School Teams to Play Later. The football game which was nr ranged to be played in Topeka thi afternoon between the Osage Citv and Topeka high schools has been post poned on account of rain and wet grounds The game will be played at a later date. Weather Forecast for Kansas. Unsettled, probably rain, and cold er tonight and Sunday. OVER HALF AN INCH. That Was Rainfall This Morning Rain Was General. Rain began falling shortly before 8 o'clock this morning and kept up a steady downpour for over an hour, resulting in a rainfall of .71 of an inch in Topeka, The forecast says that more rain is on the way and that tonight and tomorrow will be colder. The rain is general over this part of the state. The river is still at a low stage, ac cording to Forecaster Flora, being 3.8 feet this morning. This is a gradual rise, the second highest day for the river since the last week in July. September 20 the river rose to 3.8 feet. The rain will do a lot of good for the farmers and will tend to give the river a gradual rise. Last night the temperature dropped to 68 and this morning at 8 o'clock the mer cury dropped as low as 64 and 53 at 2 o'clock. More rain will fall during the day and the prospects are for a regular fall "drizzle" for Sunday.

Will Explore Region Hitherto Untrod by White Men. New York. Oct. 4. Theodore Roose velt and partj, bound for South Amer ica, where the colonel will first lecture and then explore portions of the conti nent hitherto untrod by white men, sailed on the steamship Vandyck this afternoon. The trip to South America will oc cupy seventeen days. The colonel will be joined there by his son Kermit. The Vandyck carries 300 tons of choice New England and Canadian ap ples to be sold in Buenos Aires. Al though the colonel could get the same apples in New York at five cents or less each, he will find that the apples will cost him twenty cents in the Argentine capital where select apples are highly valued. The apple shipment is carried in the same compartment from which the first shipment of Argentine beef to this country was unloaded here re cently. Mr. Roosevelt held a reception in his suite before the boat got away and took occasion to reply to William Barnes, jr., chairman of the Republican state committee, who issued a state ment last night saying the Democrats and Progressives were in league to nominate Supreme Court Justice Sea bury of this city for the court of ap peals. "That is one of Barnes' habitual lies," the colonel said. "There has been no agreement whatever with reference to Justice Seabury." THAW BRIEFS FILED. Telegrams From 33 Governors Go in With Them. Concord, N. H., Oct. 4. Supplemen tary briefs opposing the extradition of Harry K. Thaw were filed with Gover nor Felker today. With them were submitted telegrams from the gover nors of 3 states, all of whom said they had no knowledge of a request ever having been made in their states for the extradition of a lunatic. The mes sage from William Painter, acting governor of Missouri, is typical. He said "Executive department of this state has no knowledge of record of extra dition sought or honored for escaped lunatic or insane person charged with crime where person sought had been adjuriged insane." Thaw's attorneys set up that the. re quisition papers show no indictment against their client; that on the date of the 'alleged conspiracy to escape from the insane asylum at Matteawan, New York, he was insane and so legal ly incapable of committing a crime: and that on all the evidence it should be determined that the real purpose of New York is to obtain the return of Thaw to Matteawan. They argue that it is the legal duty of the executive to refuse the requisition. NO SUDDEN DROP. inse Kx petting Wwer i-riees at urn, Will lie disappointed.

Oct. 4. The last man of three who went on a hunger strike eight days ago rather than work on the rock pile to which Judge Latshaw of the criminal court sentenced them for petty larceny gave in today.

With two men chos en for regular positions in the lineup out of the game, the University of Ne braska football team opened the sea son in a game with Washburn college today. Hawkins, quarterback, and Cameron, center, were out of the game with fractured bones, as a result of the hard scrimmage the men have been put through in the last two weeks, In an effort to get the inexperienced, but heavy, line into condition. Chicago, Oct. 4. College football. with all its noisy trimmings, gets its real start today In the middle west with all the conference elevens in ac tion. The Big Nine athletes were booked for light games in preparation for harder contests later in the sea son. The one exception was the In diana-Chicago game at Marshall j held, considered the first struggle of Importance in the middle west. Elev ens from these institutions have met annually for 12 years and the Hoosiers have been successful but once. That was in 1910. Although Chicago is again the favorite today, Coach Sheldon of Indiana believes that his team has almost an equal chance to win. He feels that he has evolved a defense which will stop the Maroons' forward passes and end runs. Coaches of both elevens have confessed that their lines are weak and have boasted of the strength of their backfields. Coach Stagg asserted that if th Hoosiers gain ground consistently it will be through the line. Chicago's strongest eleven will start, but Stagg said he would give all his promising players a chance as soon as he had th game safely tucked away. There is not a pound's difference in average weight of the teams. The game today will follow the dedication of the new athletic field, completed at a cost of $200,000. This is the last day the Maroon stadium will be known as Marshall leld. Hereafter it will be called the athletic j field of the University of Chicago, j Among other contests are: 'i waDash vs. reraue, at jaiayette. 1 Washburn vs. Nebraska at Lincoln.

Coach Gray went on the muddy Nebraska field with a team crippled by the loss of Trob ert, the punter. The Cornhuskers out weighed the Washburn players by a considerable margin, but Coach Stiehm claimed that five of his regulars were in the hospital. Because of the threat ening weather a small crowd was on hand. The Nebraska team was late in ar riving upon the field and the Topekans were chilled through by the cold, damp wind which swept the field. The Ne braska band of sixty pieces led the Cornhusker rooters upon the field. The Nebraska students were betting on Washburn this morning. First Plays of the Game. Purdy kicked to the 20 yard line.

There is a chance that the people of eastern Kansas and western Mis souri may have a better supply of gas this winter than last, according to a tentative prediction made today by John Dawson, attorney general. At torney General Dawson stated this af ternoon that the state receivers of the Kansas Natural Gas company were working on a proposition that may mean a comfortable supply of gas for the normal winter days of the coming months. "The receivers are not making this a promise," he said. "They have the interest of the consumers at heart, however, and possibly a surprise is in store for the gas users this winter. The attorney general returned to day from Denver where he represent ed the state receivers before the United States circuit court of appeals in the appeal of the Kansas Natural Gas bondholders from the decision of Judge Marshall of Utah in which it was held that the state receivers ap pointed by Judge Flannelly of the j Montgomery district court should be i given full charge of the Kansas Nat 1 ural properties. "Our side of the case was' well pre sented, well argued and well pre pared," said Mr. Dawson. Senator Long and Attorney Atwood assisted in the work.

POLITICALGOSSIP Dr. J. B. Dykes Will Run for Congress in Sixth. Lebanon Man Is Regular Re publican and Strong. ARE FOR HIM IN NORTHWEST Henry Allen of Wichita Drops Into Town. He Still Preaches the Moose Doctrine. Bull It is the guess of a good many of the Republicans in the Sixth Congressional district that Dr. J. B. Dykes of Leb anon will be nominated as a candidate for congress, and that there will be no opposing candidate of either wing of the Republican party. E. P. Samples was at one time mentioned in Bert Walker's paper of Osborne, his home town, as a good man for the place, but Mr. Sample has sold his business to Mahin, Mahin Mahin of Smith Cen ter. Mr. Sample goes to San Diego, Cal., and will take a partnership in terest in the law practice with ex-Sen-ator J. T. Reed and leaves some time in December for his new field of work. Ex-Congressman I. D. Young does not want the nomination. This leaves the field clear for Dr. Dykes and his friends are insisting on his making the race. It is safe to say he will be a candidate. Dr. Dykes has always been loyal to the Republican ticket. He has served the last ten years as chairman of the Smith county Republican committee and has always kept Smith county in the Republican column. Dr. Dykes is at home in a political campaign and is an excellent speaker. On account of his ability and ac quaintance in his district ex-Governor Stubbs requested the committee to se cure Dr. Dyke's service in the last cam paign in the Sixth district. He faith fully supported Taft, Stubbs, Capper and the entire Republican ticket. With Dr. Dykes as the nominee it ought to be easy for both factions of the Repub lican party to unite on him. Henry Allen, the Wichita editor and Bull Mooser, is still strong in the faith of the new party, but he makes no enthusiastic predictions or claims for its success in 1914. Neither does there emanate from him an air of con fident assurance regarding the future of that party when in conversation on matters political. Mr. Allen spent a few hours in Topeka and he talked a little politics at the insistence of the State Journal man. "The Progressives will win heca they are right," declared Mr. Allen. iPor my part, I am too busy editing my newspaper at this time to take any active part in the new party affairs. nux. mere will be Bull Moose state and congressional and senatorial tick ets in the field next year, and there will be Bull Moose county tickets in at least eighty out of the 105 counties of the state." Henry is one of the most cheerful and optimistic of mortals. He is uuiil iiiai way. tie aeiignts on any topic and persuades unconsciously on any subject, but in his interview here on politics he did not seem to enthuse so much over the prospects of success and permanency of the Bull Moose movement as he did a year ago BY WAY OF SANfA FE Kansas Panama Commission Names Its Official Route. The Kansas commission for the Panama expositions at San Francisco and San Diego in 1915 has elected the Santa Fe to be the official route, and four members of the commission will leave on the Limited Tuesday, Octo ber 21, for their first official visit to the Pacific coast. These members are Albert T. Reid of Topeka, Senator W. F. Benson of El Dorado, H. E. Dean of Kansas City and Walter Innes of Wichita. Governor Hodges wanted to make this trip, but likely will not be able to do so on account of other important work. The Kansas colonies in San Francisco and San Diego are planning receptions for the commis sioners, the exposition officials have promised that Kansas may have the best facilities available for its ex hibits, as this was the first state to appoint a commission. oelrighsTsTreed.

Thomas Toshesky, prisoner since last Friday in an aban doned chamber of the Continental mine of the Lehigh Valley Coal company. walked into the open air a free and comparatively well man at 22 minutes before 8 o'clock this morning. He was taken to his home and at once put to bed, apparently none the worse for his remarkable experience. It was 7:1 o'clock when the last barrier of coal was driven away and Toshesky crawled through the opening from his prison chamber into the tunnel which had been steadily driven toward him by eager, willing rescuers. Toshesky came from the hole with gray blanket wrapped about his shoulders. Back of him was a miner with hands upraised, ready to assist if he should be needed but Toshesky walked with astonishing agility con sidering his experience, xis miner's cap was on his head when he crawled through the opening or the tunnel and greeted his rescuers. His lamp was in place upon his cap and burning. The most noticeable thing about him was a pallor which showed through the grime on his face contrasting strangely with the black faces of the other miners whose color showed even through the coat of dust. Toshesky climbed the path to the rim of the pit almost unaided. A stretcher had been taiten to the foot and there were plenty of willing hands to carry him, but he would have none of it. His whole attitude was one of semi stolidity. Toshesky was glad to get out of his prison but he acted as if it were an old story and nothing over which to make a great fuss. Once before in his career as a miner he had been entombed for nearly hours. Halfway up the pit Toshesky was stopped and posed for a photo graph, together with Dr. H. G. Fort ner, who had been in almost constant touch with him since communication was established Tuesday night and to whom is largely due his good health. Toshesky wore the broadest smile of any pet son in the vicinity when brought out. "Hello," he greeted every body who spoke to him. His one re ply to questions as to how he felt was "Bully." INTO A STREET GAR. C. E. tiault's Automobile In Collision With Tenth Street Car. A big Oldsmobile touring car driven by C. E. Gault struck an east bound street car at noon today at the corner of Tenth and Harrison streets. The auto was running north on Harrison street and the driver did not see the street car until it was too late to avoid the collision. Mrs. C. E. Gault and Mrs. McClintock, who were riding in the tonneau, were thrown against the back of the front seat and slightly bruised but were more frightened than injured. It is estimated that the damage on the machine will be about J400, as the radiator and front end of the auto was badly smashed. Eye wit nesses say that neither the street car motorman nor the driver of the ma chine w-as to blame for the collision. The pavement shows where the car wheels slid for about 70 feet after the brake was thrown on. The motorman says he was trying to get over the crossing before the automobile reached it.

President Affixes His Signature With Two Gold Tens. HE MAKES A LITTLE SPEECH a Tells His Listeners That Work Is Only Half Done. New Law Must Be Supplement ed by Currency Legislation. Washington, Oct. 4. Surrounded by the leaders of a united Democracy. President Wilson signed the Underwood-Simmons tariff bill at 8:09 o'clock Friday night at the White House. Simultaneously telegrams were sent to customs collectors throughout the country by the treasury depart ment putting into actual operation the first Democratic tariff revision in many years. A happy group of legislators, mem bers of the cabinet and friends encir cled the president as he smilingly sat down and slowly affixed his signature with two gold pens. He presented to Representative Underwood the Den that had writen the word "Woodrow" and the one which had completed his name to Senator Simmons, both of whom bowed their appreciation. In impressive silence, the president delivered in an easy, natural tone an extemporaneous speech that brought prolonged applause. The president declared that the journey of executive accomplishment had onlv been nartlv completed; that a great service had been done for the rank and file of the country, but the second step in the emancipation of business was cur rency reform. He earnestly called upon his colleagues to go "the rest of the journey" with fresh inpulse. Tlie President's Talk. 'Gentlemen. I feel a verv nponHnr pleasure," said the president, "in what I have just done bv wav of tak ing part in the completion of a great piece of business. It Is a pleasure which is very hard to express in words which are adequate to express the feeling: because the feeling that I have is that we have done the rank and file of the people of this country a great service. It is hard to snek of these things without seeming to go off into campaign eloquence, but that is not my feeling. It is one very profound, a feeling of profound grat itude that working with the splendid men we have carried this thing through studious attention and doinir justice all round, I should have had part in serving the people of this country as I have been striving to serve them ever since I can remem ber. T have had the accomplishment of something like this at heart ever since I was a boy and I know men standing around me who can say the same thing who have been waiting to see tne tnings clone which it was necessary to do In order that there might be justice in the United States. And so it is a solemn moment that brings such a business to a conclusion and I hope I will not be thought to be demanding too much of myself or my colleagues when I say that this. great as it is, is the accomplishment of only half the journey. We have set this business of this country free from these conditions which have made monopoly not only possible, but in a sense, easy and natural. Power to Create Monopoly. "But there is no use taking away the conditions of monopoly if we do not take away also the power to cre ate monopoly and that is a financial, rather than a merely commercial and economic power. "The power to control and guide and direct the credits of the country is the power to say who shall and who shall not build up the Industries of the country, in which direction they shall be built and in which direc tion they shall not be built. We are now about to take the second trip, which will be the final step in set ting the business of the country free. That is what we shall do in the cur rency bill, which the house has al ready passed and which I have th utmost confidence the senate will pass much sooner than some pessi mistic individuals believe. Because, the question, now that this piece of work is clone, will arise all over the country, 'For what do we wait? Why should we wait to crown ourselves with consummate honor? Are we so self-denying that we do not wish to complete our success?' "So I feel tonight like a man who Is lodging happily in the inn which lies half along the journey and that in the morning with a fresh impulse we shall go the rest of the Journey and sleep at the journey's end, like men with a quiet conscience, knowing that we have served our fellow men and have thereby tried to serve God.

THE TOPEKA. DAILY STATE JOURNAL SATURDAY EVENING- OCTOBER 4 1913. ICHAB0DS READY Nebraska Crippled by Injuries to Three Veterans Players. Thompson at Center and Boss at Guard Add Strength. FEAR WASHBURN'S FAST MEN Kansas Will Present Strongest Eleyen for Opening Game. Missouri Coaches Reticent, but Predict Defeat for Drury. Lincoln. Neb.. Oct. 4. With three football regulars still on the injured list Cameron, center; Shields, tackle, and Halligan, end Nebraska will not be able to present its strongest lineup In today's game with Washburn col lege of Topeka. Nevertheless, follow ers "of the game expect Nebraska to render a good account. Thompson will be able to fill the center position satisfactorily if his play in practice Is an indication. The return of Ross, the heavy colored guard, adds to thu strength of the line and the backfleld, with Purdy, Beck, Rutherford and Towle in their regular positions, gives a promising outlook. The Washburn team arrived this morning, all the players in fighting trim. Kansas Stronger. Lawrence. Kan.. Oct. 4. With the arrival of the day -for the opening game on McCook field, the University of Kansas eleven was ready to meet the William Jewell college football squad today with one of the strong est teams that ever opened a season for Kansas. Coach Mosse has had an unusually large number of "K" men back in school this fall and last year's freshman team was one of the speed iest seen here for several seasons. In the opinion of the local experts Kan sas will have no trouble in scoring a victory today and in succeeding con tests with the better teams of the Mis souri valley conference. The opening of the football season at the University of Kansas will be at tended by unusual ceremonies. Man ager W. O. Hamilton has arranged for a "grand opening" and Governor Hodges, Grant Harrington, Charles M. Sawyer of Topeka, E. W. Hoch, Ed ward T. Hackney and Mrs. Cora C. Lewis, the members of the board of administration. Mayor Bond of Law rence and other prominent persons will take part in a big parade to Mc Cook field in which more than 1,500 students will march. Missouri Reticent. Columbia, Mo., Oct. 4. The Mis souri State university's football season will open today in a contest with Drury college of Springfield, Mo. Coaches have been a little reticent concerning team confidence and pre dictions of victory but it is expected here that the university team will out play the visitors slightly. The teams are evenly matched in weight, but several of the university men have not fully recovered from the effects of injuries suffered during the heavy scrimmage of the week. CORRECTS AN ERROR. .Waters of Two Oceans AVill Mingle ia Panama Canal. Not Washington, Oct. 4. Widespread prevalence of the idea that there will be an actual union of the waters of the Atlantic and the Pacific upon the open ing of the Panama canal caused the war department to Issue a statement today explaining the plain, prosaic fac that sea water on either side of the isthmus will get no further than the entrances of "the great waterway. "To those who know the engineering features." said the statement, "this idea is rather amusing. So far as the canal is concerned, the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific will never mingle. The Gatun lake, which is midway of the canal, has an elevation of eighty five feet above the oceans and water from this lake will merely flow each way to the two ocean! the-watet Xrom the lake being fresh and derivoi from the drainage of the sOFrotAdmg--are." The statement also explained that the blowing-up of the Gamboa dike on Oct. 10 will not permit the passage of even a row boat from ocean to ocean, as it will be necessary to complete the removal of the dike by dredging and then to dredge out the Cucaracha slide before the canal will be open from end to end. UNION STATION BURNS One of St, Paul's Old Landmarks Is Destroyed. St. Paul, Oct. 4. Fire has destroyed the Union station, one of St. Paul's oldest landmarks, and for a time threatened to cause a serious confla gration in the wholesale district. The loss is variously estimated at from $100,000 to $250,000. The building, a three-story structure, burned quickly and the numerous streams trained upon the fire were of little avail. Firemen soon devoted their efforts to adjacent buildings, which rere threatened with destruction. Al though there is some doubt as to the origin of the blaze. It is generally be lieved that it started in the kitchen of the station restaurant. Every railroad entering St. Paul used the station. A temporary station prob ably will be erected Immediately protecTwoodTuck. Government Informs State Game War den of Five-Year Order. The United States government has de cided that it will take at least five years for the wood duck to come back into his place among Kansas game and an order protecting the birds until 1918 was received today by L. L. Dyche, state fish and game warden. The wood duck for many years has been practically an unknown bird with Kansas huntsmen. It is a beautiful specimen, highly colored and rich in eating qualities. It lives in hollow trees and is much sought after by j sportsmen. jrroiessor uyene ngures i that in five years the birds will be giv- I a a chance to propagate.

Samuel Leff, who passed away at the Kansas State University hospital Oc tober 1, was born in state of ChernigofE, Russia. He graduated from "the civi. engineering department of Saratoff un iversity in 1905.

To a man of his temperament no keener affliction could be pictured than the loss of sight. Through his long and painful illness he showed remarkable patience and bravery. During his stay in the hos pital he learned to read the raised letter system which proved his great est comfort. Mr. Leff has been employed over three years in the Santa Fe shops. He was a very faithful, efficient workman, studious and ha.d many friends. Besides his wife he leaves a little son Ernest, and a brother and sister in Russia. To his kind and sympathetic wife heartfelt sympathy is shown. TRADE MOVES AHEAD. Business Is Progressing Satisfactorily in Most Departments. New York, Oct. 4. Dun's Review says: "Business in most departments con tinues to make satisfactory progress, one notable feature being the increas ing disposition of merchants in n merotis lines and widely separated parts of the country to anticipate fur ther equipments. "Some uncertainty has been express ed as to conditions in sections of the south where the cotton crop is report ed to have been adversely affected but the high prices at which the staple Is now selling have evidently removed apprehension, for merchants generally throughout the belt are placing orders I for necessities with greater freedom than a year ago.

"Yes, we want him we want him as presi dent," he shouted. Then the crowd let loose, rising from their seats to applaud. Mr. Roosevelt was a wit ness of the tribute.

The colonel said that he never would rest content until every single princi ple enunciated by the Progressive party is put into practical operation by the nation. It Is emphatically a ngnt ror our country," he declared. I would con tinue to fight even if I stood entirely alone." Colonel Roosevelt began his speech by saying that he wanted to take this means of saying a word to all men and women of the Progressive party. All his life, he said, he had been engaged in work that culminated in the last eighteen months, to which he looked back with the most satisfaction. This was his compliment to the men and women who have worked with him In the organization and first campaign of the party, which he termed a move ment for "social and Industrial justice to be achieved in a spirit of brotherly good will and of the broadest social consciousness." "I believe that all of us who have worked In this movement have gained thereby the inestimable advantage of a finer and higher outlook on life," he said. Baker Defeated Missouri Wesleyan.
