Leaders of Human Progress Lots of folks said that Phil Parmelee, aviator, was a fool to go up in his aeroplane at North Yakima last Saturday, where he lost his life Maybe if he had waited a few minutes, or a little longer, until the wind was just right, it would have been wiser, But Parmelee was never a fool. He was known as one of the brainiest, steadiest of the “manbirds.” And he was no fool because he dedicated his life to human progress, which eventually means greater human happiness. Because we, as a nation, have Parmelees, we speak through telephones, ride on land and water in electric, gasoline or steam wonders, and have presses that print books and papers and that educate people ; Without these Parmelees we would still be breaking our backs trying to plough with pointed sticks, and mutilating our faces like cannibals. No, Parmelee was not a fool. unconscious, perhaps, but nevertheless the agent of human/>!# bargain sale on at one of the progress.

The big primary campaign funds have been contributed by millionaires, and Bob La Follette aspires to the presidency without any treasure chest.

The cost is cut down to the lowest notch. We violate no confidence in saying that private insur- ance interests regard this policy as radical, dangerous, revolu tionary, and fraught with.the gravest dangers to civilization.} However, the private insurance interests are less numerous! than the people of Wisconsin.
