Finly Gray's Chance

The most of us will agree with practically everything In the signed statement made by Finly Gray, the congressman-elect in this district. Before this next two years are over every man will recognize the fact that has been a little hard to realize before;' that the bi-partisan machine is an absolute fact; that there Is a progressive party and a reactionary party; a party which says let us alone and a party which says let us go forward. It will not be easy for a reactionary Republican to be re-elected no matter where he may hall from; nor will it be easy for a reactionary Democrat to be elected no matter where be may hail from. The new party that men talk about is not likely to come about. But the Third Party has been established it won an enormous and overwhelming victory at the last election. It swept the country. The Third Party Is the people It is the real party. It will not concern itself with organization In all probability except as it had to in Pennsylvania (where It organized the Keystone party). But if one or the other of the old parties will put up better men than the Keystone party can put up the Keystone party will be defeated otherwise the moral victory which the Keystone party won in the last election will be turned into a victory of fact. That Is the situation all over the country. The people want results.

It was not usual two 'years ago and it Is still unueual for a congressman-elect to come out before he goes down to Washington and make a real and clean cut statement as to what he believes in and what he is going to do. Mr. Gray has done this. The old statutory and common law of politics of the reactionary type Is: "Never commit yourself evade always."

Mr. Gray has made a pledge to the voters of this district that he will be a progressive and has practically said that he will be an insurgent Democrat if he is so forced by the majority of hiB Democratic colleagues. From the best authority of the mo8t recent sort which the Palladium can obtain in Washington Mr. Gray will probably have the chance to be an insurgent. In this connection let us again quote the Philadelphia North American's definition of Insurgency: insurgency Is the combined honesty and decency of the American people." The thing we call Insurgency The Third Party is nothing more than that. The Republican or Democrat who Unesup, and measures up, in all his acts is the man who is safe with the Third Party the people.

The talk now Is in Washington that the next congress will be a Do-Nothing Congress. The southern Democrats are many of them put in by the interests and their seats are secured by the negro question. Bailey of Texas will be In the saddle In the senate. The nominal leader of the Democratic forces will probably be Underwood a man of, up to this time, apparently decent Ideals. But the inner ring the circle within circles of the Interest-dominated Democrats will be led by such men as Fitzgerald of New York who came across with the votes which put Cannon in the chair last time. The point which we are making is that there will be room for a virile man of honest purpose and progressive ideals who can not be controlled by "party" organization any more than the Republican Insurgents were controlled and will be controlled by the bi-partisan machine.

The signed statement of Mr. Gray printed In the Palladium is a document of progressive character. He is elected from a most progressive district. There Is no doubt on the face of the returns of the last election that a Republican Insurgent would have been returned to congress lacking that, they elected Mr. Gray. The people of this district want actual results. The Third Party is strong it, and not the party organizations, holds the balance of power. .The man who makes good with tie Third Party will be the next congressman who Is elected. People are interested nowadays in the restoration of popular government. The Third Party of Independent voters has been growing steadily. This Is merely a statement of fact. It used to be thought political treason for any man to vote for a man on another ticket. Now good partisans are following the advice and counsel of Theodore Roosevelt. "It I make any distinction between the men in my own party and the men In another it is that I twist the neck of the rascal in my own party first!" The hope of all good partisans is to have all the best men on his own ticket. When that occurs the Third Party will be found . voting the straight ticket and not till then.

As for the statement of Mr. Gray it is sufficiently illuminating in itself. It is more than a pledge it Is a voluntary furnishing of a set of Ideals by which Mr. Gray wants himself to be compared at the end of his two years. It he lives up to this and can read the congressional record of roll calls to prove it he will find it a most valuable campaign document. it not the last few congressional elections in this district are commentary enough.

Finly Gray has a good chance. The people of the Sixth district want results.

COMPROMISE MADE WITH RICHMOND Claiming that his property would be damaged in the sum of $1,500 by the proposed widening of West Fifth street, Charles E. Bell who appealed from the decision of the board of public works in the matter accepted $100 damages In the circuit court on Thursday morning in a compromise of the case. Bell owns property on West Fifth street 'and the board of works in assessing benefits and damages against property owners whose land will be appropriated for the widening of the street neutralized the financial differences by making the damages equal to the benefits assessed.

Heart to Heart Talks.

By EDWIN A. NYE.

Convrizht, 1903. bv Edw'n A. AVe

THE PULL THAT PULLS. "But 1 have no pull." So said a young man wbo was advised to apply at a certain place for a Job. Such expressions all too common in our day show that the habit of looking for special favors has become inwrought Into the fabric of society. Looking for a pull is not only wrong in principle, bat in most cases is fatal to success. The clerk who presumes on the friendship of the department head to enjoy liberties denied to others or to excuse lapses for which others are disciplined will sooner or later come to the end of bis rope. The politician who fancies that because the populace throws up its hat for him today he can be forgetful of his responsibility tomorrow will be rudely disabused. I am thinking now of an actress who was petted until she was spoiled. By and by she depended too much on her pull with tbe public and was sent to tbe foot of tbe class. Behind tbe pull is tbe pullbnck. The merchant wbo thinks be is so solid with bis bank that be can persistently overdraw his account or "kite checks" will soon see his finish. The whole system of special privilege is wrong. Equality is of the very substance of righteousness. No one has a right to ask more than an open field and a fair chance. And, besides There is a real force In the manly attitude that asks no favors. He wbo succeeds of himself, by himself and for himself has' a sense of self respect that can never come by courting tbe smiles of another. Young man. beware the special favor! Nine times In ten there is a string tied to such a preference. - You are expected to return tbe favor. And when it comes to trading favors, one for another, what guaranty have you that you will receive more than you give? The man who grants you your concession Is likely to ask of your civility two in return. You say you have no pull? . Oh, yes. you have! You hare a pull on your own strength and self will, on your own patience and persistence, on your own pluck and push. And when you pull that string the other end of it is not found in the hands of some other man. That Is the pull that pulls.

SMALL DUTIES. True, we can never be at peace till we have performed the highest duty of ail, till we have arisen and gone to our Father, but the performance of smaller duties yes, even of the smallest will do more to give us temporary repose, will act more as healthful anodynes, than the greatest joys that can come to

us from any other quarter.-
