The progressives of Mishawaka are going the "look before they leap". This, at any rate, was the tenor of the meeting held in the old headquarters Tuesday evening. It was announced that there were over 1,000 names on the roster, compiled during the Roosevelt campaign. With tho scattering 100 at the meeting it was not deemed prudent to launch a city ticket at once, but to find out what the otherO are doing first. In line with this a motion offered by Atty. Ralph Jernegan was passed providing that a cofnmittee be appointed to confer with the standpatters "and any others" who might join with the progressives in tho coming fight to see how big a front the combined party or parties could put forth. The motion was as follows: "I move that our chairman appoint an investigating committee of ten members in addition to tho otllcers of this club. That said committee be given authority to investigate the local political conditions in the city of Mishawaka and to interview progressives and republicans and any others who may wish to alllliate with us, for tho purpose of deciding the best plan to pursue in the approaching city campaign, and that said committee roport back to the Progressive club at an early called meeting for the members' consideration and Anal decision. That this committee shall rot have authority to bind the local progressive party in any way." Committee Appointed. The men appointed on the committee were: ( . E. Lang. Ralph Felg. George Clark. A. D. Warner, Henry Eggleton. Walter Michael. James Nettleton, William Pfeifer, W. H. Tupper and W. J. Chesbro. The otiieers of the club stated Wednesday that tho date for the next meeting had not been determined, but would probably committee gets depend how soon the the d.sired information. A prominent progressive day morning stated that the sles were sure to hae a Wedncs-progres-tlekct in the Meld. Several republicans who 'a ere seen were adverse to lining up with the bull mo-osers and said that they would support a citizens' ticket! as willingly as one of their own political faith, but that fhey would not get behind a movement started and fostered by the progressives. It uas just r.e year ago night that "Teddy" Rocsevel leader of the Bull Moose, made his "confession of faith' at Chieago, so local prounssiws look upon Tuesday's meeting as a sort of birthday celebration. FUNERAL TO RE HELD THURSDAY. Th. e i,:r.erai oi isauore an iiuuei. who died Monday evening, will be held Thursday morning at 9 o'clock from St. Pavo's Catholic church. Rev. A. Shoeka rt wil otficiate at the services. St. Pavo's society will attend in a body and will march to the grave.

: NEW FEATURES FOR Several Novel Attractions Added to Program Committee Will Censure All Shows to be Sure of Moral Standard. Several new attractions added to the program for coming week celebration week of September by the have been the homethe first committee in charge. A meeting of the committee will be called by Pres. Ostrander within a few days at which these attractions will be given their space and applications for more space disposed of. The committee will, in all probability, lay out the section to be used I ov me various attractions and then will assign space for tho separate shows Of course the carnival company that is to come will be given a certain amount of space to be used as they will in placing their various attractions. It is understood that the carnival part of the celebration will be one of the best that has ever been seen in this vicinity. Members of the committee in charge say that it will be far superior to anything previously shown in Mishawaka and state that it will also surpass fc'outh Bend's carnivals. For some time the local committee was thinking of engaging tho Hatch water carnival that showed in South Bend last year. They were able to secure one of more merit, however, so the offer of the Hatch people was overlooked. The committee is taking special pains to see that all shows and attractions staged here are clean morally. Entrance tickets have been demanded for members of the Business Men's association that they may inspect and censure all attractions. It is understood that tickets will also be offered the local ministry in order that these men may censure the shows il they so desire. The advertising committee is just starting its work. It is planned to print large posters and send them throughout the surrounding vicinity. Boom cars and delegations will probably tour cities and towns in the immediate vicinity shortly before the week of the celebration. As it is several large signs have been painted and stretched across the streets of the city advertising the week. Those in charge expect to see hundreds of old residents return to Mishawaka during the celebration to visit with their old friends and spend a week in their former home. ANOTHER PARK MAN' HERE FROM CHICAGO W. A. Gardner, a park engineer of the American Park Builders association of Chicago, arrived in the city Wednesday and at once started work on the new Raker field park in the west end of the city. He will follow up the work of Mr. Oak, a park engineer who was in the city the early part of the summer staking grades and laying out the ground for this man to go ahead with the work. Mr. Gardner spent the best part of Wednesday getting teams and men together and expects to start the real work Thursday morning. He will probably be here for the next five or six weeks and maybe longer, if the work requires his time here. Some small changes may again be made to the plans made by Mr. Oak, but the general plans made by Mr. West, who is president of the association, will be followed out. It is expected that by the end of the summer or until bad weather sets in that the grounds, both in the west end and east end will undergo great changes. Several teams will be put to work at once and a large force of men will be put on, grading the parks and constructing terraces.

A letter written by Emery to F. C. Schwedtman, secretary to the president of the National Association of Manufacturers, in 1910. commented on the fact that Cong. Bartholdt was very effectually prodded from St, Louis in connection with a vote on a proposition to exempt labor unions from prosecution under tho Sherman law.

Williams of the Minnesota Employers' association In St. Paul, which urged him to "please get as vigorous protest by wire as possible to Congressmen Davis, Nelson, Steeaerson, Miller of your state. All are supporting Ruches sLmendrnent preventing enforcement of the Sherman law against labor organizations." Activities in relation to the Hughes amendment, .the investigation of the Taylor shop management system by the house labor committee, the bill to allow the formation of unions among government employes, and various other legislative propositions a? well as the interest of the association In the presidential platforms in 1908, were outlined in the letters presented today.

Congress would be a less joyous place without William Kent of California, Ever little while he is doing something worth knowing about. For instance, ho got up on Aug. 1 and moved the speaker that unanimous consent be accorded him to print part of the Bible In the record. The part he wanted printed, h-- explained, was some comment by the author of the book of Proverbs on the Monroe doctrine. The insertion is as follows: My son, if thou hast become surety for thy neighbor. if thou hast stricken thy hand for a stranger, thou art snared with the words of thy mouth. Ho that passeth by and ve::s himself with strife that belongeth not to him is like one thattaketh a dog by tho ears. Ho that Is surety for a stronger shall smart for it. Slap at Supremo Court. If judges of the United States supremo court were ordinary human bein we should wonder what they think of the annua', report of the Standard Oil Co.. which shows that this year's earnings will approximate $100,000,000 as compared to $S0,0u0,0 00 last year. It was not many months ago that the supreme court officially d-,-inwi the Standard Oil Co. ns one of our most vicious trusts, and creed that this trust should be dilike they solved. If their minds operato ordinary mlnd3 we wonder what think when they perceive that their oecree oi aisoiuuuu uo-.i n-n solve; that its only result Is to increase the net earnings from SS'-.-00.000 to $100,000,000. which is 2" percent on the enormous value of property which has been amassed, according to the supreme court, "through monopoly and oppression." Within this year the Standard Oil Co. has increased the price of gasoline from 11 to IS cents a gallon and kerosene from six to eight cents a gallon, and this in spite cf the general improvement of business and large earnin-s. It has done this because It could, and it could because It Is an undissolved monopoly. Ten percent on the corporation's capital stock would be ample dlvl-
