STATEMENT OF THE POLICHF LEAGUE Executive Committee of Progressive Organization Gives Principles.

The executive committee of the Hoosler State Progressive League has Issued a statement regarding the purposes and policy of the league. The executive committee is now drafting a platform which will be ready for adoption within a week or ten days, at which time a mass meeting will be called to discuss the various planks in the platform, and take final action on Its adoption. A member of the league will go to Indianapolis next week to confer with a representative of Senator LaFollette regarding the meeting in Richmond. The committee's statement follows: Shop Men United. The shop men of Richmond who, having banded together under the head of the "Hoosler State Progressive League," purposes, by the work of this organization, to promote a more intelligent conception of the value of the vote entrusted to them, and In a measure, brinK aJjout a unity of action in exercising that rip;ht of suffrage in support of men and measures, instead of party and party candidates. Its membership is to consist of those who are in sympathy with the progressive principles herein contained. Self reliance bein the twin brother f independence, our purpose is, by frequent gatherings and periodical discussion of the questions involved in presumptive legislation, to instill in the minds of its membership the importance of a thorough conception of what such legislation involves, that in voting for or against, we may do so with that self consciousness of right, as to become Impervious to the suavity and guile of the professional politician. We believe as American citizens in Standing for what is right and just, and in using our energies and influence to promote the cause of justice and equity regardless of partisan affiliation. We stand to promote the candidacy of an aspirant to office, whose record and sincerity of purpose is beyond reasonable doubt. One of the main purposes of our orfranization is to arrest the present tendency to corruption in civic affairs, Insisting on a standard of mental and moral fitness, giving our support to such, preferably to that of faithful partisan adherence or party regularity. We believe the restoration of our governmental institutions, national, state and municipal, to the care of clean and honest men, can only be assured by the effective work of this and kindred organizations, coupled with an unmistakable and emphatic negative to all partisan domination in behalf of such men and such measures as Is inimical to the interests of the common people. Only as a Thinker can a person be Individual. The loss of- individuality is the opposite to true citizenship and to retain our rights to citizenship, we do most emphatically decline to subordinate our will to that of those whose personal and political aggrandizement Is measured by the success of their deception. .True success can only be acclaimed to the extent of its beneficence to the greatest number. 8hare General Disgust. In common with good citizens everyWhere, we, as an organization, share the universal disgust which has arisen as a result of broken pledges, alliance with interests that are antagonistic to the well being of the common people, by the enactment of tariff laws that tare unjuBt and disproportionate in its 'burden effective to the extent of adding to the cost of livinK. lessening proportionately the purchasing power of the dollar, thus reducing wages the equivalent to such increase. In common with good citizens everywhere, we believe as a whole the upper and lower congresses are not representatives of the common people who elected them, but are representatives of the special interests who have a power over them and by exercising rthat power control them. In common with good citizens everywhere, we are appalled at the revelation that one and one-half million of children are now working in the factories, mines and sweat shops of this country. We are in a state of doubt .as to just why the largest beneficiary of our tariff laws compel their em'H''fc- ....

Author Tracy Has Poor Opinion

s Tracy the author, who i in the' ' Scarlet Letter." Louis mkPr I, afraid to nana the Garments woman of today, he does not consider ployes to work twelve hours a day and seven days a week at an average of 16 cents per hour. We doubt the efficiency of a tariff in doing all that is claimed, therefore, since the cost of living has exceeded the increase in wages. We further doubt the efficacy of a tariff as means of protecting labor, seeing that one of the largest beneficiaries, who employ thousands of men, can boast that 9o per cent of their employes cannot speak the English language, and the. rules of the shop are printed in nine different languages. In short, this organization proposes to assist in dcing away with a government by money for profit and assist in returning to the government our forefathers died for and gave us government by men for human welfare and human progress.

The fourth annual Red Cross Christmas seal has made its appearance in Richmond. It is of a new design and entirely different in some ways from the "stamp" used in former years. The new seal when placed on the back of letters and other mail matter resembles a seal in every way and carries with it a Christmas greeting. These seals have been placed on sale in Richmond and today a new shipment of 20.000 seals and hundreds of posters and placards were received from the state headquarters at Indianapolis by the Wayne County AntiTuberculosis Association, which is directing the work here. With the consignment of 5.000 received Friday, the local organization has a "starter" in the campaign and every effort will be made to sell that many very soon and place an additional order with the state sales managers. The campaign here promises to excel those of former years in many ways. Under the management of the local anti-tuberculosis association and by an agreement with the state Red Cross Christmas Seals Commission- 73 per cent of the money raised here will remain in Richmond. This money will be used in the fight against tuberculosis in Richmond a disease which is claiming hundreds of local people each year. While the local campaign will be under the direction of this association a great deal of the active work will devolve upon Miss Emma Kemper, a professional and well known local nurse, who will manage the sales among all classes of people. Miss Kemper, however, will work with the local anti-tuberculosis association. Co-operation will be one of the features of the work here. A number of leading societies and clubs, which have been active in former years have signified their intention of aiding In the work and some of them will appoint committees to work in conjunction with the local managers. Government approval has been given the Red Cross Christmas seal in every particular. The new design has been approved by the postoffice- authorities at Washington. Permission has been granted to send the seal, through the mail on the back of letters, but no seal will be accepted as postage. The postofflce department has also notified the state sales managers that the seals can be sold in the post office building and a booth will be opened in the Richmond postoffice soon. Here the seals can be purchased at the stipulated price, one cent each. ' The Red Cross Christmas seals are measured in the billions and millions this year. Billions have been printed. In the whole country the American Red Cross hopes to raise $1,000,000. The 2,000.000 mark has been placed as a goal for Indiana by the state Red Cross Christmas Seals Commission. The little seals themselves have an

interesting history. Their origin dates back to the Civil war. In 1S62 a "charity stamp" was sold in Boston for soldiers' relief funds. After the war this method of raising funds was discontinued but other countries adopted it quite generally. Switzerland, France. Spain, Portugal, Norway, Sweden. Russia and Austria and other countries gave it sanction. The seals were first used to raise money in this country in anti-tuberculosis work by the Delaware AntiTuberculosis Association. Later it was adopted by the American Red Cross and for four years the work has been successfully conducted. This year, although the American Red Cross is still at the head, the management of the campaign is in the hands of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis with headquarters in New York City. Anl the work in the states is directed by Btate commissions, whose sole object is to fight tuberculasis. In cities where active anti-tuberculosis associations are organized the work has been placed in their care and Richmond is one of these cities. A novel feature of this year's campaign is a moving picture show which the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has arranged. It is called "The Awakening of John Band." 'and shows how tuberculosis is no respector of persons and enters the homes of rich and poor, high and low, alike. In Indiana this film wilt be shown in seventeen cities and Richmond is one of them. December 22 and 23 it will be shown In the Arcade theatre here. MASONIC CALENDAR Monday, Dec. 4, 1911. Richmond Commandery No. 8, K. T. Stated conclave. Annual electon of officers.
