Nearly a venr ago they were warned to come out of Mexico and stay out until the condition's grew more settled. The failure of u tar number of phonic to heed this warning certainly lessens the olih States to undertake a war of life and, an the leader can 'make good' on their tariff law and the other legislation they have pjuect?and purpose to pass," declared Mr. Stone, "and the American people accept the assets of the Demo cratic party at their, face" vTue without reference to the liabilities of that party, then I am free to say that it will be a herculean task to defeat the Democratic party in 1918. Any person who observes the trend of affajre can tee without half trying that the Progressiva, party it melting away." Then Mr. Stone goes on to show the shrinkage in the Progressive party by citing Maryland an instance, that while CoJ.

DEMISI OF THI LOBBY. There were those who were in rather a sneering arttmde-wfcefl- Presideut Wilton made the chat that there was an "insidious lobbv" in Washing ton which was t work to secure legislation which it wanted, legislation in defiance of the rights and wishes of the people. In the investigation which followed there was ample evidence given to show that the President was wise in calling strong at tention to the evil influences at work. That Congress has saen a refreshing season of absence of the "insidious" lobbyist is the infor mation which crimes freely from those who are m n position to know, newspapers which have trained men at work in Washington gathering the news And the country has seen important legislation proceed without the disturbing influ ene of men who were at work to hamper and lelav it, or to seek some special privilege or ad vantage. There is a different atmosphere in Wash ington these davs than in those in which the lohlnist flourished as a green bay tree.

Senator La Follette undoubterilv erfi a ..ca. ful pttrpose in the earlier stages of a liattle for th-ker4iican once skilitul and intrepid, against the Aldrich Carmon regime. But he is plainly falling far short of the standards of statesmanship needed in this new, constructive era. His attitude on several important issues has been extremely churlish and narrow, so much to, indeed, that we find his personal admirers and supporters call ing him to task. He it now, for instance, oppos uig the repeal of free canal tolls for the coast wise shipping monopoly. The Chicago Tribune criticise' his position in this wise: "The spirit of partisan rivalry seems to have destroyed the judgment of men who have hith erto deserved well of the country. The attitude of Senators La Pcllette and Pristow on th canal stiiMsd? law i pUiuly idiotic. The Senators must tie astute enougir to realise that the name of patriotism has again been stolon by the friends of special privilege, and that the exemp tion ot coastwise vessels from paving tolls is another back-door method of robbing the pub lic treasury. .' , . Some sane friend should showthem that in fighting the nation's interests and the interest of their constituents, they are injuring themselves, their party and the political principles which they champion."' . Senator La Polltte't recent course seems to in dicate that he i of that unfortunate type of men Who oppose whatever they cannot originate and who are unwilling to join any march they cannot lead. He did good work when the task was that of destroying an old machine, but he shows him elf unfitted for th higher labor of building anew. Senator La Fouetta appear to be dwind ling sadly.
