organizations to keep up the fight till
the successor to Woodrow Wilson Is
hosen in 1915.
At the time the plans of the Pro
gressive party and the details of its
campaign beginnings were given in
these dispatches recently it was in
timated that the Democrats and the
Republicans might be heard from in a
few dayB. Now it is fully assured that
the Democratic and the Republican
parties are to follow ' the early ex-
ample of the Progressive party In
starting Its campaign, and each of
me oiaer parties nopes mai u maj
profit thereby. j
The Republican leaders have just
announced that headquarters Bhortly
will be opened in the city of Wash-
Ington and that the endeavor will be
to "readjust matters" and to put the
organization into fighting condition I
for the battle of 1914. I
The Democrats have not yet made j

It is known that the Democrats
would like to open headquarters at
once, but they are held from so doing
by a curious and Interesting fact. They
do not know what men Mr. Wilson in
tends to appoint to office. It is im
possible for the Democrats today to
ask any man of political prominence

if not fear the belief, is that most of
these men will be given government
places by Mr. Wilson, which will keep
them from giving anything but coun
sel to the chiefs of the active political
f organization.
The Republicans closed their Wash

One, thing can be said for the men
bers: They certainly gave the ear
of attention to everybody who cared
to. open his mouth to speak for or
against any schedule.
It seems now that the net results
of the hearings will be that the Un
derwood bills of the last session, vir
tually in the form in which they
were then presented, again will be
given to the house for sanction, and
later will be sent to the senate to run
a course of tariff and free trade criti
cism. It is said by men in congress.
Democrats and Republicans, that Mr.
Underwood expects his bills' after the
senate has considered them will come
back to him considerably disfigured.
Much Depends on Wilson.
The bills will be passed by the
house unquestionably almost as Mr.
Underwood, in behalf of his commit
tee, presents them, and Just how much
punishment they will undergo at the
hands of the senate. Democratic con
servatives', aided perhaps by some of
the high tariff Republicans, depends
probably largely upon how staunch

LIQUOR TRAFFIC IN NIGERIA
Women ,Have Become So Degraded
That They Pawn Their Children
to Get Gin.
One of the saddeEt facts in connec
tion with the liquor traffic is that said
traffic Is destroying the .work of ail
the foreign missionary organization
of the world. It was the writer's
privilege to be ln London July 11,
1911, when a delegation of one hun
dred missionary representatives laid
the matter before the British cabinet
requesting the British government to
call a conference of the world .powers
n regard to Africa. Bishop Tugwell.
L bishop of the Church of England.
whose diocese Is northern and south
ern Nigeria, said: "The women have
become so degraded . that they pawn
their children to get gin."
The conference of world powers
was called January, 1912. England.
Germany and one. or two other pow
ers were willing to stop this destruc
tion of missionary work, but France
and Belgium and Holland refused to
stop the sale to the natives. Hervey
Wood in the National Advocate.
W0RKINGMAN AND SALOON
Total Abstainer Mas Preference Be
cause He Can Be Relied Upon
to Be at His Work.
I have worked In the factories.
mills and mines of this country for
many long years, and have seen the
effect of the liquor traffic upon the se
curity of the worklngman's employ
ment. In all legitimate occupations,
the total abstainer haB the preference.
for he can be relied upon to be at his
work when he Is expected, and not
spend one-third or one-half of the first
part; of each, week ln getting over the
influences of a drunken carousal. The
railroad companies will not employ an
engineer or a - conductor that fre
quents the saloon, and ln many other
Industrial walks the same rule ob
tains. Everyone tacks such corpora
tions up in this stand, and the worfe
lngmen are beginning to realize what
such a practice means to them. When,
they fully appreciate the situation,
there will be an absolute end to the
liquor traffic.
