BOSTON, Aug. 17. The Progressive
campaign in Massachusetts was opened
today by ex-President Roosevelt with
and especially in the recent contest In
the Republican primaries, we hammered
it into the heads of the politicians that
the people were against Lorlmer and
Lorimerism; and then the very men who
had been seeking to profit by Dorl
mer's support, so long as they believed
he would be useful, and some even of
the men who had hitherto defended
him, turned against him. But, friends,
remember that our real concern was
not in smashing one bad man who by
improper methods had secured his own
election to the Senate, but in smash
ing the kind of politics which he sym
bolized. Lorlmefa Defenders Coaatatent
"Certain of our New England Sena
tors, I regret to say, took the lead, both
in conducting the campaign for the de
fense of Mr. Lorlmer and in putting
through the steal of the Republican
nomination at Chicago. Whatever else
is to be said against these Senators,
at least thoir action in these respects,
was consistent. When Senator Crane,
Senator Aldrich. Senator Penrose, Sen
ator Guggenheim, Senator Gallinger,
eonatnr nuHner-hum anil their asso
ciates, together with Senator Bailey,
Senator Johnson and tneir associates
on the Democratic side, stood by Sen
ator Lorlmer and Senator Lorlmer's
right to sit in the Senate, they were
doing precisely and exactly what
Messrs. Penrose, Crane, Guggenheim,
Gallinger and their representatives
later did when they secured the tri
umph of Lorimerism in the Republican
convention at Chicago. There was no
essential difference between the in
iquity that culminated in Lorimer's

scenes departing from those tradition
ally associated with a political rally.
Some of those who took part In it
compared it rather to a huge revival
meeting. Supporters of the new party
sang hymns and cheered.
Colonel Roosevelt, the central figure
in It all. made four speeches. He mixed
politics and morals, now exhorting his
. hearers to set up a high standard In
public and private life, again speaking
bluntly of his conception of political
procedure and criticising his opponents
sharply. At each meeting of the Pro
gressives they sang the battle hymn
of the new party, "Onward, Christian
Soldiers."
Taft Called 'Dead Iaane."
In one of his speeches Colonel Roose
velt referred to President Taft as a
"dead issue."
The former President discussed the
New England campaign with the Pro
gressive leaders here, then went by
automobile to Revere Beach, where he
made his first speech. After a long
address to the Assumption Society he
returned to Revere Beach for the mass
Progressive banquet at which he made
his third speech. On his return to
Boston he addressed a crowd on the
common, later taking a train for New
York, where he is due early in the
morning.
In his main speech of the day the
Colonel criticised Woodrow Wilson's
remarks about the Democratic and
Progressive platforms, defended the re
call of judicial decisions and assailed
several New England Senators.
"Tell us about Taft," shouted a man
in the crowd.
"I never discuss dead Issues," Colo
nel Roosevelt shouted back.
Permanency la Predicted.
Replying to another question as to
whether the Progressive party was to
be permanent he said:
"If this movement concerned only
me I wouldn't be In it myself."
In speaking of the moral issue in
volved he said:
"Our whole movement is based on
the theory that no political life is worth
living If it is not based on the Ten
Commandments and the Golden Rule."
In his Revere Beach speech the Colo
nel said:
Honesty in nominations and elections
and social and industrial justice was
the text of a speech delivered here to
day by Theodore Roosevelt. The Pro
gressive candidate also contrasted his
attitude toward the Progressive plat
form with that of Governor Wilson
toward the Democratic platform, as ex
pressed in the latter-s speech of ac
ceptance. Whereas Governor Wilson, he
said, declared that "the platform is not
a programme," Colonel Roosevelt de
clared that the Progressives treated
the platform as a programme and a
-contract which we shall scrupulously
fulfill if the people give us the power."
Colonel Roosevelt said in part:
"Men and women of Massachusetts
and on the platform on which I stand
I make the same appeal of serious and
sober purpose to the woman as to the
man I come to this state with its back
ground of adherence to lofty ideals and
ask you in the name of Massachusetts,
past to place the Massachusetts of to
day on the side of those who battle for
all that is highest and best in our Na
tional life.
Both Old Parties condemned.
"I wish to emphasize the fact that
we are absolutely clear from affilia
tion with either of the old parties: that
we regard both the old party machines
as hopelessly corrupt and Incompetent
and that we appeal to the rank and file
of both the old parties equally to stand
with us for good citizenship in the
spirit of true Americans. Ex-Democrats
and ex-Republicans alike we hope
will share with us the task of building
up the .Progressive party and we in
vite Into our ranks men and women en
tirely without regard to their former
political affiliations, to their creed, the
birthplace or the color of their skins.
"The first essential in securing the
right of the people to rule is to secure
the unsparing condemnation of dishon
esty in nominations and elections. To
steal a nomination or to steal an elec
tion is even worse than to steal a
purse, for it is a theft of the peoples'
rights; it is theft from the people as a
whole. ,
"Two years ago the fight against Mr.
Lorlmer was started by a great Chi
cago newspaper and was continued by
certain private individuals. Gradually,
election and the iniquity which culmin
ated in the theft of the Chicago con
answer to his own question Is so very
vague that it was obviously unsatis
factory even to himself, and he con
tinues by stating that he does not asTc
the people of the United States to adopt
that platform and that 'the platform 1
not a programme.' We Progressives
are much more fortunate in our plat
form. We don't have to apologize for
it nor to speak of it in language so
carefully guarded as to convey the im
pression that we are endeavoring
neither to repudiate it nor support it.
We stand on our platform. We do ask
that our platform be adopted by the
Nation. Our platform is our pro
gramme; we treat it as such, and will
scrupulously fulfill it, if the people
vention. I condemn those who stood for
both forms of iniquity.
"Iff his speech of acceptance the day
before yesterday, as reported in the
New York Times, Mr. Wilson is quoted
as saying of the Progressive platform
that 'it would require a Sabbath day's
journey to drive through it," and that,
for that reason, he had not yet been
able to find out what it was all about.
If Mr. Wilson has not been able to find
out what our platform means, it is be
cause he has not taken the trouble to
try. You may remember that Mr. Wil
son stated two days after his nomina
tion that he bad not yet looked at the
platform upon which he was nominat
ed. I do not wonder that when he did
at last look at that platform he be
came so thoroughly discontented with
it that he now, feels a distaste for all
platforms.
Plntforma Nearly 6ame Length.
"Mr. Wilson speaks as if the Pro
gressive platform were very long. As
a matter of fact. It is of almost the
exact length of his own platform. Thff
difference is that our platform states
explicitly and definitely that we Intend
to do certain things on the vital ques
tions of the day, and this is entirely
sincere and entirely practical, whereas
Mr. Wilson's platform avoids the most
important issues before our people, and
as regards the other Issues makes such
impossible and conflicting promises as
to render it out of the question to be
lieve that there was a sincere purjjdse
to have these promises taken seriously.
"In his speech of acceptance, Mr.
Wilson asks himself, "what is the mean
ing' of the Baltimore platform. His
give us the power. Our proposals are
definite and concrete, and our intention
is to enact them into law and to make
them part of the active Governmental
policy of the Nation.
Industrial Justice Defined.
"At this moment I ask your atten
tion only to the proposals that we
make to secure social and Industrial
justice. In the first place, we set fbrth
definitely what we mean to try to se
cure at the present time in the way of
social and industrial Justice; for an
Instance, to secure by law one day's
rest in seven for all wageworkers; an
eight-hour day in continuous 14-hour
industries; the prohibition of child la
bor; the establishment of an eight
hour day for women and young per
sons; the erection of minimum wages
standards for working women, work
men's compensation acts, the securing
of proper conditions of life and labor
for workingmen and women, and the
prevention for occupational diseases
and the fixing of occupational health
standards. We purpose to secure these
installments of social and industrial
justice by action in both the Nation
and the several states. Therefore, we
propose to see that our representatives
give the people these laws wherever
in Nation or state the "Progressives
come into power. In these matters
we do not intend to let our public
servants, our representatives, decide
for us whether or not we can have the
laws necessary to give justice to those
who need it; we propose to settle the
matter for ourselves, and we intend
that our public servants shall give us
the laws necessary, in order to achieve
the end we have in view. We do not
intend to let either executive or legis
lative officers forbid us to hava uch
laws and, my friends, neither do we
Intend to let the Judges forbid us to
have such laws."

to a mating between May and Decem
ber, Lady Decies, who was Miss Helen
Vivien Gould, being but 18 at the time
of her wedding to the titled nobleman,
to whom she took a dowry estimated at
between $30,000,000 and $60,000,000. and
Lord Decies being 4'4 years old then and
a veteran of three wars.
Many persons declared at the time
that something should be done to pre
vent this marriage, declaring that Lord
Decies was too old for the match to
prove a happy one, but the nobleman,
who holds one of the most noted titles
in Ireland, scouted the notion that he
was an old man and said he would only
be entering upon his prime at 50.
The wedding, however, created a
great stir in New York society, even
though Miss Gould had not "come out"
at the time. Wedding gifts to the bride
were estimated as being worth not less
than $100,000.
Immediately after the wedding Lord
and Lady Decies left on a honeymoon
trip to the upper Nile and Egypt and
in April, 1911, returned to England.
Lady Decies took a prominent part In
the social functions attendant upon the
coronation of King George and Queen
Mary last year.

In ninety-nine out of one hundrecJ cases
you will find that the trouble is worms.
Among the common symptoms of the
presence of round worms are nervous

the eyes and nose, nausea and often
hysteria. Round worms are several

Occasionally several hundred are found
In a single person. Thread worms are
smaller, often not longer than a quarter

their presence are about the same, but
In this case the child has no appetite.

will It destroy them, but Its tonlo effects

HOSPITAL ISDALLAS PLAN
Citizens Provide !Funds for Modern
Building Badly Seeded.
DALLAS. Or., Aug. 17. (Special.) A
site has been selected and plans have
been adopted for the new hospital
building to be constructed at once in
this city. Owing to the many acci
dents occurring In the logging camps
and the sawmills in this vicinity, a
hospital Is necessary here.
It is planned to make the new hos
pital one of the most modern and best
equipped small hospitals In the state.
The physicians and surgeons practic
ing in this county are behind the
movement. They have organized a cor
poration, and have sold stock to raise
funds to build with. As an Investment
proposition it does not promise big re
turns, but from a charitable standpoint
and a standpoint of providing public
necessities, it is one of the biggest and
best things ever attempted by the cltl
zens of Dallas and surrounding coun
try.
The Dallas Commercial Club is be
hind the proposition, and has been
mainly instrumental In getting th
stock sold. Prior to this over I50CQ
had been subscribed by citizens of Dal
las for this purpose, but the present
promoters decided not to accept thes
donations, but instead to organize a
company and give every stockholders rt
right to be heard as to how the same,
