President Taft tonlaht gave a new definition of a -political progressive. In a speech at the banquet of the Swedish-American ftepubllran League of Chicago. He eliminated from consideration a real progressives those who look to Social Ism for relief from present-day evlla In government, declared that hie "dis tinguished predecessor" deserved most cf the credit for awakening the public to the need of action, and arcued that "progressive la aa progressive does," pointing to aoma of the achievements of bla Adrnlnlatratlon aa proof that II baa qualified under that definition.

"The 'progressive' movement haa as sumed the character of a crusade, and many radical remedlea were suggested, the carrying out of which would only be lose d.-tru'-11 ve than the threatened fil course of the disease. "The growth of Socialism In this country la a noteworthy Incident In showing tbe extreme to which many would go In the solution sf the prob lem which I am discussing. "The futility of every Socialistic s. hm which destroys the right of property for the uplift of humanity is that it la Impossible to find a sufrt ilently strong motive for labor or lor savings. Without this, the wealth of the world could pot Increase to meet the demands for the living and com fort and increased physical happiness of the growing population.'' The banquet waa given In commem oration of the t'lth anniversary of the battle between the Monitor and the Merrlmac. and the President referred to that Bret fight or the Ironclads as a sort of starting point for a political speech. People Reaaed Actlaa. "There la nothing more Inspiring In the history of the world than the a-tory of the achlevementa of the Republican Eurty since the Monitor received her baptism of fire." he said. Mr. Taft pointed out that the "pro gressive" movement practically began a 1th the present century. Two decade of enormous expansion of all lines of endeavor In the I'ntud States previous to 100. he declared, vrere responsible for encroachments of "big business" In the Held of politi-s. and It finally be came apparent th theee encroach ments must be stotp. U and legislation must be enacted that would hold In reatratnt corporate and vested inter ests. It waa In this connection tlut ha brought in a reference to Colonel toosevet-. "furtng the Administration of my distinguished predecessor, and by his appeala to Congrea and to the public, the people, and especially the businesa communities were roused to the neces sity of action." he said.

OARROW TRIAL SET Attorneys Accept Informal Grand Jury Notes. LEGAL TANGLE UNSNARLED McNamara Lawyer Accused of Brib ing Jurors in Dynamite Trial Himself to Face Jury Be ginning May 14.. LOS ANGELES, March 9. Clarence S. Darrow, former chief counsel for the McNamara brothers, will be placed on trial May 14 on the charge of having bribed Jurors In the case of the con fessed dynamiter, James B. McNamara, now serving a life term In San Quentin prison. Presiding Judge Hutton of the su perior Court fixed the date for trial, after counsel for the state and defense had agreed that the court should make a third ruling regarding the suffi ciency of the transcript of grand Jury evidence which the state had originally furnished to the defense. The court, after nullifying two pre vious rulings which conflicted, held that with the addition of Informal notes taken of the testimony of Bert Franklin before the grand Jury the transcript waa sufficient for the needs of t'arrow in preparing hla defense. Franklin is the confessed briber who had acted as detective for the McNs mara defense prior to the entering of pleas of guilty by the dynamiters. The District Attorney said that these In formal notes were til he had and that In sharing with the defense he was giving Harrow an "even break." The attornevs for Darrow said they were satisfied with the ruling and would accept the transcript which pre viously had been refused. This action cleared a legal muddle which last Saturday gave rise to the fear that the case had become In volved in such a snarl as to make It impotent.
