Jl. .1912 Had a new party sprung into tbe field in constqoeDoe of reactionary nominations by Loth the old parties, it would have been a paity in reality and one greatly to be desired. Kooee velt migbt have foroed himuelf upon it, as be certaioly would have tried to do, and. bitter as the pill woold have been to its projectors, tbey migbt have been obliged to swallow him. Bnt when tbe Demoroatio party was captured by its progressive elements, under Bryan's leadership and with euoh a oandidate as Wilson, not only did all reasonable possibility of a gen nine new party disappear, bnt so did all reasonable necessity for one. As events bave shown, there was no re volt in both' parties big enough and with a purpose sufficiently idenlioal to make a obeinioal union of elements without wbiob no new party oan te a re U party! Tbe Progressive party is now, aa it was from tbe beginning, nolbiuB but a Republican "bolt," Instead of a nucleus for broad politic al alignments, it is essentially a Re publican faotion. Not only is a new party in anything bat name unwar ranted by tbe circumstances, bnt tbe Republican faotion wbiob, av regard ing itself, baa taken tbe name of Pro gressive , is nnder a heavy handicap of leadership in its oreator and obief oandidate; and, paiadosioal though it may sound, this handioap is its only pohtioal asset. The Oregon Daily Journal, in an awering a correspondent, says: "Wby does 1 be Journal object to Perkins and Monsey while asking tbe voter to vote for Wilson and thus swallow Murphy, Sullivan and Ryan." aks a writer in yeBterday's Journal. Wby be unreasonable? Monsey and Per kiua got the man tbey wanted. Mur phy, Sullivan and Ryan did not want Woodrow Wilson. Ryan went into the convention to beat Wilson . . . . Sullivan voted against Wilson until within an hour cf the nomination aud thou changed only because be saw Wihon was inevitable, and because thousands of telegrams from Illinois forced tbe delegation to force Sullivan to surrender. Murphy voted against Wilson nntil Wilson's nomination was made. . . . Bryan's denunciation of Murpby, and bis declaration that bj would not vote for a man supported by Murphy aud bis crowd, was tbe most terrible arraignment ever beard in an American convention. . . , Mur phy was repudiated at Daltimore. In tbe face of suoh history of only yesterday, it isoouseuHO for men to talk about "swallowing Murphy, Sul livan and Ryan" iu voting for Wilson. A vote lor Woodrow Wilson is a vote against bosses. . . . There ia a wide dltfereuoe between Mr. Wilson anil Mr, Roosevelt as to bosses. Mr. Wil ton fights tosses in bis owu party. Mr," Roosevelt fights uo bona in bis party, -The boss who supports Mr. Roosovelt la not ft "bona" but a "lead er. ".Tim Woodruff is mt a boss but a leader. Bill Flyoo is not a boss but ft leader, Cteorg Perkins of life in Hutaooe eoandal is not a boss, but a bouseurated soldier of the Lord.

All over the south of Italy Ices are eaten to an extent of which we do pot dream, but In Sicily and Palermo lu particular the custom has attained amazing proportions. Ices are eaten by people of all ranks and ages from morning to night Where a true Briton would demand a glass of beer the Pa lermian asks for an Ice. Morning, noon and night tbe consumption of ices goes on. They are In wonderful variety ! and cheap. The stranger in that beau tiful country finds the cafes Invaded between 4 and 5 by Ice eaters. He sees officers and men of the army, mer chants and work people, the rich and tbe poor of both sexes consuming Ices with gusto. No one evades this pleas ant duty. Lines of carriages draw up at the side of the pavement before the cafes, the occupants, the coachman and the footman all with their favorite del icacy. At first the stranger wonders, then he falls a victim. London Chronicle. Answering the Critic. Some members ot tbe congregation of tbe late Dr. Joseph Brown of Glas gow objected to his frequent absence from homo and complained of it some of them to him personally and more of them behind his back. " When he thought he had heard enough of It he addressed his congregation one Sun day thus: "With regard to objection concerning my absence, I have to say, first, when I am out of the pulpit 1 am usually in Bomo other body's pulpit Wben you are not in your own pew, are you in some other body's pew? Second, when I am out of my pulpit 1 put some other body into it When you are out of your pew, do you put some other body Into it? Third, when I am out of my pulpit I sometimes get better men than my self to fill it, and you haven chance of hearing tbe leading preachers In the church, and sometimes 1 get ' worse men than myself to fill it, and the chance of hearing them ought to make you thankful for your mercies." Why a Prgola7 An Interesting question Is raised by a writer on gardens In the Atlantic Monthly. Why should so many Amer ican gardens have that queer, irrele vant useless thing called a "pergola?" Generally It Is built in a spot where shade la called for, but tbe pergola, having no roof, affords no shade. It is really a trellis and Is borrowed from countries where It is used to support grapevines, but American grapevines are kept pruned back to more stumps, and the pergola, as affected by our suburbanites, is of no uso ot all as a grape trellis. What is its use we have never been able to fin out. Perhaps some one knows. As one generally sees It, the pergola Is a sprawling, ex tremely naked object, suggesting a shed which hns had its roof blown off by a gale or a henroost that has been deserted by the hens because It is no good. ' Can It be that it Is regarded by soma people as ornamental? A Fin Battery of Toth. Tbo animal having the most teeth Is tho great armadillo of south Central and northern South America. It is a fact well known to most people that the normal or average number of teeth in mammals Is f thirty-two sixteen above , and the same number below. The great armadillo, however, Is an ex ception, having from 02 to 100. lie has from twenty-four to twenty-six In each side of the upper Jaw and from twenty two to twenty-four in ench side of the lower jaw. Another peculiarity lies in tho fact that thoy are nil molars or Hinders. They increase In size from front to back, instead of from the root and are wholly destitute of enamel.

IAN SWEEP F0RWILS0N smocratio Gains In Vennont : and Maine loipresste OTHER PARTIES IN PLIGHT, Third Termer to Poll Their Entire Strength From th Rapidly Thinning Republican Rank Indication Are That taft Will Carry but Two Stat, Roovlt Non. That the results of the state elections in Vermont and Maine mean a tremen dous Democratic victory in November Is freely admitted by all except the bit terest partisans. Political experts have done much analyzing, and some claim to have reached novel conclusions. But these facts stand out: On Monday, Sept 0, 1012, the Repub lican and third term parties combined elected William T. Haines governor of Maine over Frederick W. Plalsted, the present Democratic incumbent, by 8,023 plurality; in 1008, a presidential year, n Republican was elected gover nor by 7,653 plurality; in 1004 the plu rality was 25300, and In 1000 It was 84,132. In other words, in twelve years the Democrats have cut down the Republican plurality in state elec tions by 81,100. In this period the Democratic vote has increased from 30,000 to 03,000, whereas the Republican vote has de creased from 74,000 to 71,000. Tho Democratic vote of this year exceeds that of September, 1008, by 1,000, but the Republican vote is about 2,000 less than that party cast four years ago. The split in the Republican ranks, following the election of William T. Haines, Is pronounced. If the divi sion in Maine in November is as It was in the recent Vermont election six-tenths of the Republican vote will go for Taft three-tenths for Roose velt and one-tenth for the Demo crats. It is significant that the latter party has" to date suffered no losses, as compared with the vote In previous years, from the third term move ment On the contrary, it has gained. The result In Maine may be expected to be something like this: Wilson, 74.- 000; Taft 42.G00; Roosevelt, 21,300. The returns from the recent Vermont election show In round figures that the Joint Republican and third party vote was 8 per cent short of the Re publican vote four years ago, while the Democratic vote In that state shows a gain of 25 per cent over that of 1908. It is of special Interest to speculate what will happen next No vember throughout the nation if the Republican and Democratic vote for the national tickets happens to be af fected as the gubernatorial vote this month In Vermont bns been affected. Tbe New York Post has done some in teresting figuring along this line, and as a net result it is shown that under the contingencies mentioned President Taft would carry only two states in November, Rhode Island and Vermont, all the others going for Governor Wil son. The conclusions reached by the Post follow: To compute this result we should have to deduct 8 per cent from the vote cast for Taft four years ago and apportion the remaining vote in the ratio of C2 to 38 between Taft and Roosevelt, and we should have to add 85 per cent tr Bryan's vote In 1008 and give the "demnltlon total" to Woodrow Wilson In other words, give Taft 57 per cent and Roosevelt 35 per cent of Tnft's vote four years ago and give Wilson 125 per cent of Bryan's vote four years ago. The result In round numbers would be as follows, so far as regards Taft and Wilson: Taft Wilson.
