BATTLE HAS JUST BEJUN ? fmuidtt of Dull Hoot) Orgwiirtloa HaIaIjt Elated at Hhowlag MimKj, Declaring It MlBp?r?Ueled la History of Free Government". ?? Points to Utter Ilout of G. O. P. Theodore Roosevelt made a formal statement Monday night bearing upon the election and the future of the Progressive party. In line with previous expressions of his own, and of his colleagues, he reiterates that "the Progressive party has come to stay," and "so far from being over, the battle has just begun." He regards the party's showing in polling more than four million votes In the face of numerous obstacles naturally in the path of a new movement, as "literally unparalleled in the history of free government". The statement follows: "i congratulate mo iTUKreugiTus of the country?that is, I congratulate those good men and women who, with sincerity of purpose for the common good, havo had the vision to look into the coming years, and see what the future demands from us. "What the Progressive party has done since the theft of the Republican organization by the Republican bosses at Chicago, last June, is literally unparalleled in the history of free government worked under representative institutions. "Three months have gone by since the new Progressive party was founded. Without much money, without any organization, against the wealth of the country, against the entire organized political ability of the country, against the bitter hostility of 99 per cent, of the press of the country, against the furious opposition of every upholder of special privileges, whether in politics or In business, and with the channels of information to tlie public largely choked?the Progressive party has polled between four and four and one-half million votes; has hopelessly beaten one of the old parties, both in the Electoral College and in the popular vote; has taken second place in the nation and either first or second place in some thirty-seven of the forty-eight States. "No task in any way approaching f this has ever before been performed by any party in our country. Such a feat, performed by volunteers hastily brought together, and without any TirovimiR co-oneratlon with each oth er, against the trained veterans of the political arena?these trained veterans including the entire mercenary forces of politics?should be a source of pride, not only to those who performed the task, but to all believers in good citizenship and in tho capacity of Americans for self-government. "During the campaign I said repeatedly that this was in no shape or way a one-man government, but a movement for great principles?a movement which has sprung, as all healthy movements in our democracy, must spring, from the heart and conscience of tho people themselves. This truth must be kept steadily before the minds of all of us. The Progreslve party has come to stay. If either of the old parties will endeavor to put into legislation anyone of our planks, it can count upon our hearty support in so doing; but we will not rest contented until the entire platform is enacted into law, and becomes part or our political system, national and State. "I am proud, indeed, that the great good fortune has been mine to fight shoulder to shoulder with the men and women who, in tho ranks, and in various positions of leadership have waged this great battle for social and industrial justice. So far from being over, the battle has just begun. "We will not rest content until every feature of the Progressive programme has been put into effect; and when this has been done, unquestionably there will have opened to us new avenues along which it will be a duty to work for the moral and economic betterment of our people." "(Signed) "Theodore Roosevelt." ... ? LEVER FAVORS EXTRA SESSION. Congressman Wants Immediate Action on Tariff Revision. Congressman Asbury F. Lever, of this district, is In favor or an extra session of Congress, Immediately following the inauguration of Governor Wilson next March for the revision of the tariff. Saturday Mr. Lever received a telegram from the New York World asking tho South Carolina Congressman's views 011 the question. Mr. Lever's reply was as follows: "1 am emphatically In favor of an extra session of Congress, Immediately following the inauguration of Governor Wilson, for the purpose of revising tho tarifT downward in the interest of the consuming public?such revision to bo gradual In order to Insure the least disturnance or uusiness, and the rates to be so adjusted as to rest heaviest upon luxuries and lightest upon the articles of general consumption." 1 ?

President-elect Wood row Wilton announced at hit home in Prlncetown Wednesday night, in apeaking of the tariff and the monopoly quettlon that he pnrpoted to carry out the pledget* he made in hit campaign speeches, to cut special privilege out of tariff schedules, prevent unfair competition in business, and to destroy private monopoly. The President-elect had been asked whether the big correspondence be received after his election contained any inquiries as to his attitude on the tariff or monopoly problems. "Most of the letters," replied the Governor, "were of a congratulatory nature. There are some Cabinet suggestions, but nobody seems to think it necessary to ask questions about the tariff or the monopolies. * "Do you mean that the people take it for granted that you will carry out the pledges made in your campaign speeches?." he was asked. "Yes, they certainly will be carried out so far as I am concerned." In his campaign speeches, the Gov ernor often reiterated that revision o! the tariff should be undertaken im nedialelv. It is believed that this idea will find expression in a call foi U r. ovtro uuoulnn t\f t f> ron aider the tariff as well as other sub jects which were issues in the campaign juat closed. Governor Wilson now has in hand n fairly complete list of all , who have expressed themselves publy on the advisability of an extra session. It is known that the Presidentelect has made up his mind on the subject and soon will make known his attitude. He is of the idea that the work of tariff revision can be undertaken without a series of long investigation*. "There have been investigations In every Congress," remarked the Governor. "I've studied the problem all my life and I think there is a definite idea of what ought to be done." While the President-elect is reading assldlously the opinions about an I extra session, he is just as carefully refraining from looking at the various speculations which are being printed as to the personnel of his Cabinet. This was revealed in connection with the visits of Judge William R. King, Democratic national committeeman from Oregon, and TJeut. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, U. S. A., retired. Governor Wilson said Gen. Miles had called unexpectedly to pay his respects. The correspondents Informed him that the names of both Gen. Miles and Judge King had been mentioned In dispatches from Washington concerning the make-up of his Cabinet. The. Governor said he did not know of this. "I'm fortunate," ho said, "in not reading the speculations, bo I'm innocent of any embarassments." Wilson a Man of Destiny. The rapid rise of Woodrow Wilson proclaims him a man of destiny. As the Charleston Evening Post points out "two years ago he was the head of a great educational institution. He had been a student and a teacher all his life, a scholar and a writer, but he had never made even ths shortest excursion into practical politics. He was nominated for Governor of New Jersey and elected after a brilliant campaign. Before his first term as chief executive of the State had come to an end he is elected President of the United States. It is an unparalleled record. Two years ago Woodrow Wileon was not a figure in the political world of the United States; to-day he is the chief personage in it. He is the first Southern Democrat to be elected President In sixty-five years. He has broken forever the long supported tradition that a Southern-born man could not hope to be elevated to the head of the government of the United States within the lifetime ol men who participated In the great war of the sections. He has shown that "the scholar in politics" is something more than a lay figure. In Woodrow Wilson limitable opportunities has presented a new political wonder.'* Bryan in the Cabinet.

B. McNamara's detailed conleBSion to having caused the 1 explosion, with his motives for doing ' it and his comments on the fact that ' eo many people were killed, was related on the witness stand in the "dy- ' namite conspiracy" trial Thursday at 1 Indianapolis. Ortu R. McManlaal testified, the 1 confsesion was given to him while he 1 was with McNamara iu the woods five miles from Conover, Wis., both of , ihem having gone to the Wisconsin woods on the pretext of being hunters. Olof A. Tveitmoe and Eugene L. Clancy, San Francisco labor leaders, j McManlgal testified, were named by McNamara as having made arrangements for the Los Angeles explosion and as having furnished the two men ?F. A. Schmltt and David Caplan?- 1 to assist in buying the high power nitroglycerine, because Schmidt and 1 Capian had been regularly employed 1 on the coast by the building trades ouncll of California. Tveitmoe and Clancy are among the 65 defendants now on trial. Caplan and Schmitt, named by McManlgal, were indicted in Los Angeles county with James M. McNamara on charges of murder, but fliey never have been captured. Government agents have been Informed that Caplan was killed. When he asked McNamara why he twisted off a gas jet In the basement of The Times building before the explosion McManlgal testified, McNamara said: "Because when the explosion occurred I wanted the whole building to go to hell." "But I am sorry so many were killed." McNamara added. "I hoped to get Gen. Otis." McManlgal said that November 5, 1910, he was at his home in Chicago end expected to leave the next day for ICenosha, Wis., whence he was to start with a hunting party in charge of Myron Sharp. That very day, he said, John J. McNamara, brother of the Los Angeles Times dynamiter, asked him to take James B. on the hunting trip. lie went to Kenosha and James u. Joined him there. They procured hunting licenses and went with the party to Conover and then to a camp five miles in the country. "On November 9,'' said McManlgal, "I missed James B. and started out aione to look for some deer. Standing on a tree stump I suddenly heard the crack of a pistol. Presently I saw lames B. Suspicion flashed into my mind. I accused him right out. "I think you were taking a shot at me," I said. "If you do you had better be quick about it. This is a fine place up here to get rid of a man? jiist shoot him and the coyotes will eat up his body. "He replied he just did it to scare The. Then we being alone for the first time he sat down and told mo about the Los Angeles job. He said when he went to the coast in July ho got in (ouch with Tveitmoe and Clancey, according to instructions from his brother, at the headquarters of the iron workers in Indianapolis. Tveitmoe and Clancy, he said, put Claplan and Schmltt at his disposal. Schmitt i was too much of a talker, ho said, and when he blew up a job in Oakland August 20, he made Schmitt stay In San Francisco. ^ "Leading up to the Los Angeles ex- f plosion J. B. said he found you could get all the money vou wanted on the , coast. lie.Raid Tveitmoe was the big paymaster and there' never was any- ' thing to fear, for Tveitmoo was a friend of Mayor McCarthy, and, in ' fact, Tveitmoe was the mayor of San , Francisco. He said Schmitt had a scheme to set off bombs by chemicals, which he had learned from a friend ' of Tveitmoe's, but when ho (Mc- j Namata 1 showed thorn the alarm clock Bchemo they all decided it was 1 best. ( "I asked him why ho went after ( The Times. He answered Tveitmoo J had put him on to It. "Then he told me about how diffl- 1 cult It was out there to buy explo- " sives; how they decided at last to get | a launch and buy nitroglycerine of 8f? 1 per cent, strength from a powder 1 company, on the representation that * It was to be used for blowing up ' stumps to arrange for buying tho ex- J plosive. "He said when his staff was readv ' to go to Los Angeles he had a talk with Tveitmoe, telling him either he ' or Pchmftt would have to do the *ob 1 and not both of them, for Schmitt was too much of a talker and had a f woman friend in T.os Angeles, that he 1 (Mcivamara) uiu not want iu get mix- ? cd up in the job. < "Then he told how ho had sont the ' bomb in what is known as Ink al- ' loy in The Times plant, among some 5 Ink barrels and old papers, doing in.

I can always seo a mother's tear-dimmed eyes as she kisses him' good-bye and starts him into his first little world alone She realizes that the bumps an knocks must adjust his nature to those of other boys and she realizes too, that hereafter teacher wields r more potent influence over his lift than she.

If teacher knows his family history, fortunate for her; but if not. with an intuition supernatural she must discern innate weak places?everybody has them?inherited, sometimes, generations back and cropping out In tho form of cheating, swearing, taking advantage of others, unmeasurable and uncontrollable tempers, lying, etc. Not all these characteristics to one boy but each possessing his peculiar weakness.

It has always seemed to mo that textbooks and set tasks are secondary to on/1 fhot (n Oral tnai a^i^i "wuuuiii^^ ****** wi*v*v vi?v ?*? w? essential for the teacher is to go about winning the boy's love and faith In her, in order that she may more readily dicipline him. Discipline is the most misunderstood word in the teaching world. In the only country school I ever taught it meant a stick and "brute force'*. And one was supposed to use that stick on boys 21 years of age. Imagine it?a frail woman caning a six-foot man! In the moat modern Interpretation, discipline is a mechanical, clock-like obedience positively devoid of any feeling. To me the word Is farreaching in Its significance. It is something a pupil wants to do because ho takes pride and interest in it?something that he knows must bo the right thing for him since teacher thinks so?it is pride, faith, love, Joy, ambition?all intermingled. There is nothing stronger In the small hoy than his sense of in'ustice.

It Is far more probable that Wilson would have had a popular majority twice the size of his actual plurality than th&t either of the other candidates would have held the strength of both combined. Consider what did happen In California, the strongest Roosevelt section In the country, where the Taft people were limited in their choice to voting for Roosevelt or Wilson. Under similar circumstunces, If the Roosevelt following had been come pelled to choose between Taft and Wilson, would It have flocked to Taft? The only question worth while Is what might have been the final ef-i feet if the Republican quarrel at Chicago had been composed and an acceptable compromise candidate nominated, and that is pure conjecture. But, as the New York World says, 11 is too lato to attempt to rewrite the history of the last six months In the hope of making a song of triumph of a funeral dirge. Must Decide Pretty Soon. There Is much speculation as to ' a-. ? w ~ a ine lULUiu ui ^uiuuci ivuuDvtt'H auu hl? Progressive party. The New York World says if the new party is to live, it will have to decide pretty soon whether it is going to be He-| publican or anti-Republican. In some States it is Republican by name. In all States it is so in principle. Circumstances made it compara lively easy this year to have two ably led and well-financed Republican parties in the field, but the con-' ditions of 1912 are not likely soon to return. Two protective-tariff | trust and monopoly parties are at least one too many, and it will not take the practical men who have been made rich by protection and privilege very long to discover the fact. Privilege is rich, but it will not deliberately waste its money in politics. With this fact in mind we need not worry much over the intentions of this or that Progressive chieftain. Privilege will not remain divided, no matter what overheated politicians may do. Privilege will unite presently in support of one wing or the other of the Republican party and its decree will be final as to the fate of both. TAKING FITNR9 FROM BANISH. Af rnrolornprR nt. am the Result of tho Election. Because of unrest among the forIgners of Utnica, N. Y., following the election, a mass meeting was held there Monday night and addressed by Mayor Baker and Italian Consul Baccelli of Albany. The Italians have been withdrawing their funds from local banks and the purchase of tickets to the "old country" has increased 5 0 per cent. The rumor was current among tho textile mills that the result of the election would mean the closing of the establishments and tho foreign element gave so much credence to these Rtories that tho situation became serious. Twenty-eight Hurt In Wreck. Twenty-eight persons were injured, one fatally, In a wreck on the 'Frisco Railroad, near Slnton, Texas, Tuesday when an engine, naggage car, smoker and day coach Jumped the track from some cauae as yet unknown. All the injured are in the Frisco hospital there. truth and a lie. Truth Is a square word?no round corners?no way of getting around it but to walk squarely and turn at the corners. A man asks you a question, you answer him fairly and squarely, looking him in the eye "Yea, air" or "No, sir" whichever your answer may truthfully be. Lies aro circles?perfectly round ?so in tho vernacular of the small boy you can take "roundanco" on them?that 1b you can act thom out <13 effectively as you can tell them. A man asks you something you don't care to toll?you won't Bay "yes" or "no", but you try to fool him by evasion, or "beating tho devil 'round the stump" as some peoplo say. If you havo deceived in any way you have lied, and as In tho circle simile, it will emu? back to you. So, we always should Impress tho hoys of the rotten etono of lies and tho ultimate ruin of their structure if they build thereon. I have no patience with man or woman who speaks of one class of boys as "little devils". There are a few characteristics mat most boys havo in common. Pre-eminont among these are teasing, tormenting, fighting, manufacturing as much noise as an Indian scalping and some other forma of throwing off the stir plus energy that is peculiar to their nature. A boy may have a clean principle, at the Bamo time be the most fnischovloua, tormenting piece In town. He may fight, too?that's not going to send him to perdition, as long a< it's clean fighting?mat Is, a flsMcufT with a boy his stzo over whom ho has no physical advantage. We've all fought as children, boys and girls aliko and 09 out of every 100 of us get over is as we grow older and develop our self-control. There Isn't a boy in this world whom I consider a "little devil," no and something lovable about htm |f we take the pains to find It out. And there Is a doplomattc way to go about flnindg out and there are Jnst a fa* don'ts that attach thetixselvee to any such undertakings.
