Good nature is worthamore than knowledge, more than mpney, more than honor, to the persons who possess it, and certainly to everybody who dwefls with them.—Beecher. r FOR MILLIONAIRES ONLY London society and its hangers-on are demanding for the Ambassador Reid’s place a man who “play a great and costly part in English society.’ They point out that Mr. Reid so spent his government's and his own money as to establish a style and scale of doing things, “ Lendon Daily Mail, “the the the man of moderate means would undoubtedly entail a cer- tain amount of social, political and personal inconvenience and unfairness.” Horny-handed as we may be at heart, that here's one job in which ability to splurge counts toward | usefulness of | ours have * socially | in order amount to anything. French demand it. As a rule, your successful ambassador is one-half peacock and one-half extraordinary rascal. When the| fascal isn't working, the peacock must work overtime, and] the work of the latter is the costlier We were willing to recommend Champ Clark and his postotiice as second nda $1.80 x moe. © how late can and,” to quote transition from millionaire to we have to admit and efficiency.

BEWARE OF THE SHAM PROGRESSIVE Beware of the sham progressive He is the deadly foe of the progressive party. The Bull Moose have nothing at all to fear from the republicans, and Mot nearly as much to fear from the democrats, as they have of those people who are masquerading as progressive for 6elfish purposes. No one who is fair to himself could attend the state conference of the progressives in Seattle Friday and Sat- urday and conscientiously deny the big, powerful virility of the progressive movement. At a time when the pas- @ion of the political campaign is swaying none, in a calmer, more deliberative time, these men and women —gathered here from all parts of the state—are never- theless sized by an unbounded fervor, and their eager- fess and willingness to work for the progressive princi- ples the year round spells clearly and definitely for the ascendency of the progressive party. That is so plainly evident that the party is in dan- ger of being seized upon by some sham progressives for personal reasons. The progressives, of course, should welcome all in the party, and especially the new converts. But they must be careful not to intrust the leadership, nd that means much of the destiny of the party, to half- baked progressives. IT IS SUCH AS THESE WHO MAY SERVE ONLY TO stihl TEs SHIP.
