PROGRESSIVE PARTY COLUMN.

All matter appearing under this head is paid for at advertising rates, and The Democrat assumes no responsibility therefor.

This year, Mr. Voter, you vote for I nited States Senator direct. —: o: Progressives this year will be on all the election boards. • —:o: Register, Mr. Voter, so you can vote for a constitutional convention, with the reforms a modern constitution carries. -—:o: James E. Watson says: “I have not changed.” Col. Mulhall has told Mr. Watson’s record. Congressman J. t. McDermott, another Mulhall man, says, “I have not changed. But McDermott has resigned hjs seat in Congress—under fire. After all, the scheme proposed by the Indiana standpat state machine — to oust stadpat nominees from county tickets and substitute “Progressives” on those tickets—is not a new thing. Of course the whole idea is as ridiculous as it is typically a machine scheme, but it is not new The standpats may deny that the plan is being discussed, but the fact remains that already, in the counties, the standpats have proposed precisely the inane and impossible scheme that is credited by the press to the standpat state chairman. In spite of constant pressure and repeated desperate offers of deals and trades in the counties, in spite of this silly attempt to play “compulsory” amalgamation by boss disposal, the Progressives have stanch, solid, respectable, creditable and active county tickets in more than eighty of the ninety-two counties of Indiana. Of course it is perfectly plain that in case the standpats could undermine the progressive movement in the counties those same standpats might gain some slight hope of weakening Albert J. Bev-

LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

I 'r. M. Reinigia’s Silver Jubilee. Logansport, August 13, 1914. Wednesday, August 12, Venerable Sister M. Remigia, O. S. F., the superioress of St. Joseph’s Hospital, Logansport. Ind., celebrated her silver jubilee, having been a Franciscan Sister for 25 years. For 25 years she lias performed the noble work of the good Samaritan in tending to the sick, in alleviating their agonizing pains, doing even the humblest work for helpless patients. Blessed with undaunted energy, with a heart lull of charity, with cheerfulness and a perfect confidence in God, Sister Remigia has had wonderful success in her arduous work. The other good Sisters in the hospital, loved and assisted her faithfully. When Sister M. Remigia came to Logansport, and that is more than i 4 years ago, the old St. Joseph s Hospital on the bank of the Wabash was in a very primitive condition. Improvements were made. Hundreds of charity patients were nursed back to health. The Sisters had to go begging to feed the sick. Occasionally the floods exceeding the bank of the river would cause havoc in the humble building. Animated with the desire of having a more sanitary place and more modern conveniences Sister Remigia, in spite of utter poverty, secured a place in the east end of Logansport, then outside the city. That was one of the most trying events in the life of good Sister Remigia. It seemed no one in Logansport was willing to render substantial financial assistance. So it seemed for several weeks, but when the Sisters were on the point of leaving Logansport, good Father B. Kroeger, tljie much beloved pastor of the St. Joseph’s church, persuaded the Sisters to stay, assuring them of the liberality of many prominent citizens. Then Sister M. Remigia set to work, a magnificent hospital balued at a hundred and seventy thousand dollars was erected. Under the stress of poverty, facing an enormous debt of a hundred and fifty thousand dollars, the erection and completion of St. Joseph’s Hospital and its magnificent chapel, with its artistic paintings, and beautiful w inflow s and altars, is a praiseworthy achievement of the venerable jubilarian. No wonder that her silver jubilee was a day of public honor. A solemn high mass; was chanted at 9 a. m. Her relative, the missionary, Father Vigilius H. Krull, C. PP. S., was celebrant; Rev. Father King was deacon, and preached a very appropriate sermon on the high vocation and charitable work of the good Franciscan Sisters; Rev. Father Halpin was subdeacon and Father Rudolf Stoll and Father Adolph Schott, C.PP.S., the present Highly esteemed chaplain of the hospital, acted as Master of ceremony. In the sanctuary, vested in surplice, were Rev. Father B. Kroger, Rev. Father Seimetz and Rev. Father Quim of Logansport. A delegation of Sisters from other convents, among them four Sisters of Notre Dame, were in attendance. Many of their friends from town and a full number of St. Joseph's Sewing Circle, the best ladies in Logansport, attended. In the well chosen words of the Rev. Father King, we wish Sister M. Remigia God’s choicest blessing, a continuance of her good work, and if it be God’s will, the pleasure to be able to celebrate her golden jubilee.

eridge in the state. Their scheme for undermining the Progressives already has failed in each and every one of the counties. It did not w'ork at ’retail” and of course it can not be made to work by “wholesale.” —:o; It might be wise for the Indianapolis News—at least while it js trying to show a Democratic-Pro-gressive deal—to withdraw Mr. C. W. Fairbanks, who owns 45 per cent, of th News, from his open alliance with the Ralston-Taggart administration. Mr. Fairbanks is one of Governor Ralston’s appointees, and was named, incidently, on a commission with Thomas I'aggai t and S. B. Fleming. —:o; A v erj confidential” dinner was given the other day at Jim Hemenway’s Indianapolis hotel, to consider the problem of getting some more probationers” to standpatism. The standpat state chairman sent out “confidential” invitations to selected persons. The invitation of course went to progressive citizens, and naturally many progressive voters, regarding i the thing as .a joke, forwarded their confidential invitations to Progressive headquarters. It was asserted in the standpat call for a “very confidential” dinner, that the affair would be in charge of three probationers”, including Jo Batchelor of Marion: J. F. Wild of Indianapolis, representing the Randal-Mor-gan interests, is another. Mr. Wild, in politics, acts for his eastern people in finance. This year Mr. Wild has his orders from the east to play with the standpats and the tractions candidates named by the standpats all over the state. Mr. Wild might be called one of the public utility probationers.

The good Sisters, who sacrifice their time, their energy and their very life for the help, spiritual and temporal, of the sick are well worthy of our gratitude and liberal assistance. May God bless and preserve them! xx
