Leonard, an old resident of Hope-Valley was robbed. of - $20 when in Providence, Tuesday morning. Mr. Leonard, accompanied by his wife, arived in Providence on an early morning train, with the body of their son who died two years ago, was dis- Interred, and_en route to Ohlo for burial.. Mrs, Leonard goping. forward with the body. After the departure of the train, Mr. Leonard proceeded on bis way to the law -office of Edward M. Sullivan. He carrled two over- coats on 'his arm one belng a heavy fur coat. He was stopped in the street by a smooth-faced chap, between 25 and 28 years of age, who asked him to subscribe to a monthly farmers’ book; at a cost of thirty-two cents a year. The young fellow, who sald his name was Robinson, walked with Mr. Leon- ard to the building where Mr. Sulll- van's office is Iocated. When in the hallway Mr. Leonard took & $20 bill from his pocket book and placed it between the leaves of a small memorandum book, which he put in his vest pocket. Mr. Leonard | believes that when he stopped to pick up the overcoats, from the floor, that Robinson fliched the ‘memorandum book and the $20 Dbill, as he bade him a hurried farewell, ' The loss was not discovered until some time later and a report was made to the police, It has been decided that the tempor- ary fence that extends to the ouvg ot the sidewalk in front of the site of the pew bank building for the Industrial Trust company cannot be' used for ad- vertising purposes, as .is the usual custom, such fences being used as bill boards, as there is an ordinance pro- hibiting the use of'bill boards in the public highways. Hardly had the last nail been driven into the fence, when an enterprising merchant, whose store adjoins one end of the temporary fence had an advertisement of his business placed thereon. With- in' twenty-four hours thereaffer the other end of the fence was utilized. as a blll board by another business con- ‘cern. This was done without objec- tion on the part of the contractor who owns the temporary fence. Then the president of the town couneil inter- posed and .the merchants were no- tified that their advertisements would be removed a&nd ‘they wapre removed. The town authorities were moved to this action on the ground that the CURRENT TOPICS IN WESTERLY Continuance In Dr. Senior’s Case—Aged Hope Valley Man Nearly Robbed—Recent Property Sales—Annual ing Washington Trust Company.

Thy dall brothers, Charies, Hen- ry, Oliver and John, of District No. 6, owners of the large tract of land in Canal street, and commonly known as the Chapman property, contemplate razing the combined three frame build- ings, and constructing on the site a three story modern brick building, 70 by 100 feet in dimensions. It'is plan- ned ‘to have four stores, the second floor to be devoted to offices, and_so it s sald the Westerly lodge of Elks is negotiating, by committee, for the | occupancy of the entire third floor.

The Crandall brothers became own- manager of the local play house had asked permission to use this fence, when completed for advertising pur- poses and the permit was refused.

Pa when things are moving so fast and candidates changing so rapidly we cannot know who might be degmed the best man for the place when-the time comes.” "The declaration of principles adopt- ed by the committee were prepared by a sub-committes consisting of Her- bert Knox Smith of Connecticut, chairman; Chester H. Rowell, of Cal- ifornia; E. A. Van Vakenberg of Penn- sylvanfa: ‘W. H. Childs of New York and Willlam Allen White, of Kansas. Full Text of Principles. The full text of the declaration of principles follows: “The progressive party began its existence, as did the republican party, s a party of moral conviction and na- tional purpose. The progressive plat- form of 1912 was of necessity a com- posite of national and state issues, for the party was a new organization and had to speak at once for both nation and state. Since then, state issues, such as the short ballot, initiative, ref- erendum and recall have been taken up In various state platforms. “The national issues presented by our platform of 1912, and those for which we now stand, represent the vital needs of our national life. They are in substance: A Broader Nationalism. “A broader nationalism, to make possible an effective programme of social and industrial justice at home and the protection of American citi- zens and rights abroad. “The constructive federal regulations A MODISH MATINEE COAT FOR YOUNG FOLKS Cut on full lines, belted with a black silkc girdle, collared and. cuffed with tailless ermine striped with black fur, this black. velvet coat makes a gmart garment for dressy occasions on wintry afternoons. The coat is lin ed with Joffre blue brocaded satin. rather than the destructive disruption of efficient business organizations—be- havior and not size being the test. “The introduction of business effi- clency into government by the budget system and the co-ordination of de- partments. Non-Partisan Tariff Commission. “A permanent, non-partisan tarift commission, to make possible the sci- entific revision of tariff schedules on protective lines. - Also a pledge for the immediate revision of such schedules as the condition of world war have made pujust or as are necessary for the preservation, after the war, of in- dustries newly established here, whose neceesity the war has demonstrated. “A provision for equal suffrage. “The dethronement of the invisible government. “A provision for an adequate mer- ichant marine. ! “To the progressive platform of 1912 s above summarized and amplified, we pledge our continued allegiance; both of the old parties have falled to make serious efforts to enact these national principles into law. *“Because of the failure of the Wilson administration to deal adequately with national honor and industrial welfare, this country faces problems of & graver and more far-reaching conse- quence_than any since the Civil war. International Law Humanity’s Safe- guard. “International law is Humanity's final safeguard and civilization's last bulwark. Its recognition and observ- amce by the nations is the true meas- ure of the world's progress; it is our high duty to do our utmost to uphold it for the advancement of higher civ- ilization. It is likewise our supreme duty io protect American institutions and Ameritan standards of justice. “This momentous hour, therefore, de- mands a complete preparedness, not merely in military armament, but pre- paredness that will mobilize our eco- onomic resources, agricultural, {ndus- trial and financial, a preparedness that will unify American citizenship and create a loyalty to our _institutions such as peoples of other nations have shown since the terrible test of war; the preparedness of self-defense, that preparedness which creates a spirit unalterably opposed to militarism and the ultimate object of which is uni- versal peace, but a natlonal spirit and soul which views the doctrine of peace- at-any-price as futile, cowardly and unrighteous, and which will unhesi- | tatingly make any needeq sacrifice to uphold American standards of hu- manity and justice. Only that spirit will put this nation where it can move effectively for the world peace which we desire. Wilson Administration Has Repudiated Faith of Our Forefathers. “The Wilson administration has re- pudiated the faith of our forefathers, which made. the American flag the sufficient protection of an American citizen around the world. It has suf- fered American men, women and chil- dren to be slaughtered in Mexico and on the high seas, American property to be destroyed and American liberty to travel and trade to be subject to the arbitrary and lawless coercion of foreign belligerents. It has stood by while the law of nations disappeared from the earth, without adequate pro- test or effective resistance, it 'first among American administrations, has shown the supine spirit, whose sure consequence is the contempt of the world. Need a Reawakening. “Our people are becoming impa- tient of leaders who hold that com- fort, prosperity and material welfare are'above honor, self-sacrifice and patriotism. We need a re-awakening of older Americanism, of our belief in those things that our country and our flag stand for. Our people are Seeking - leadership—leadership of the highest order and most courageous character: leadership that will draft to itself for the country’s benefit, the unselfish and unpatriotic services of its ablest citizens. They are demand- ing that principles and policies shall be proclaimed and carried out by man who has the wisdom. to formu late them and the manhood to fight for_them. “Keenly alive to this, we call the national convention of the progres- sive party to assemble in Chicago at the same time the national convention | of the republican party is to assemble ‘lhere. ‘We take this action believing | that the surest way to secure for our |country the required leadership will |be by having, if possible, both the | progressive | and republican partes choose the same standard bearer and the same principles. We are confident that the rank and file of the republi- can party and the very large inde- pendent vote of this country will sup- port such-an effort. No Partisan Bitterness. “We pledge ourselves to approach the considerfation of the iesues involved in such an effort without any desire to revive partisan bitterness. . 3 the republican convention is responsive to the patriotic spirit that brought the republican party into being and that made it dominant for half a century; if it meets this crisis in the spirit of broad patriotiem that rises above par- | tisanship, the effort for a common |leadership will. be successful. “As a result, when the convention of the two parties’adjourn, the spirit of confildence and victory for the leader thus selected and the principles to which he is committed, will in itself go far for insuring victory in Novem- ber. Shouid the effort fail the re- sponsibility for the result will not rest on the progressive national convention nor on the four million voters who supported progressive candidates in 1912, Will Never Surrender Principles. “They, when called upon again to do so, will as firmly refuse to sur- ?llllll!lilllll Mothers rilll“lllil‘lll‘lllllllll B / .

In this turning point in world history, we will not stick on details. We will lay aside partisanship and prejudice. But we will never surrender those: principles for which we stand and have stood.
