Ward Meetings Wednesday. On Wednesday night of this week a meeting will be held in each of the wards of the city for the purpose of electing precinct members of the Progressive City Committee, which committee will have charge of the coming campaign for the election of mayor, councilmen and other city officers. Heretofore at such meetings it has been the rule that voters who are interested in good government have not attended, and the

selection of committeemen has been left to men who make politics their business, with results not conducive to good government.

The election of precinct committeemen is important for it is

the first step toward good city government. If we are to have a better governed city, the Progressives must see to it that reliable precinct chairmen are chosen so that a good city committee will be assured.

Are you, Mr. Voter, enough interested in reducing the tax rate and having a better city to live in, to lay aside your engagement for about 30 minutes next Wednesday evening and attend your ward meeting? If not you may expect the present conditions to continue.

CLARK'S ADVICE IS TO AIDPRESIDENT Representative Asserts That Speaker of House is Not Sulking.

FUNDAMENTAL DEMOCRACY. Americans are uniquely democratic They want the best of everything not only for themselves, but for everybody else. Trusts, graft, coarse luxury, hasta to pet rich these and other evils out kinsmen have, yet the spirit of the people is ever haunted by Lincoln's Gettysburg speech. Nobody in the United States says that "education Is carried too far" or that we want sensible working-men not too well educated. Such treachery to democracy one can hear in England and even in Canada, but seldom. Indeed, In the big republic, where 90,000,000 people are being prepared to understand their own problems and to govern themselves. Margaret McGUlan, Well Known English Writer, Recently in America. The time has come when every American should study fundamental democracy. He should understand the peculiar genius of. bis country, the spirit chiefly responsible for Its tremendous development, the ideal that has been so powerful in revolutionizing other governments the world around. This is especially necessary at the

present hour Because that ideal is on

trial, because we are . in a mighty

struggle between plutocracy and democracy, because we are in a state of

change when it is necessary to look for the old landmarks and get our bearings. The fundamental democracy exemplified by the American experiment in government has been the leaven that has leavened the whole lump of hu

manityfrom France and Switzerland to South America, from Portugal to

China. That leaven is still at work and will be for centuries to come.

And it is at work not only in foreign

lands, but in our own. Aside from the classic beauty of Lin

coin's Gettysburg speech, that little gem of oratory makes universal appeal to the hearts of men because it states in brief and simple form some of the philosophy underlying the American

idea. It is worthy to take its place be-

side the Declaration of Independence,

which states more of that philosophy. We may think that the truths em

bodied in these immortal utterances

are forever established, but if so we have failed to measure the forces now at work or the direction these forces

are taking.

The task of the present generation of Americans is to complete and fulfill the work of Washington and Lincoln.

The Reason. "I've Just been introduced to Professor Smythe. Such a charming man to talk to! He doesn't make one feel a fool, lnspite of his cleverness." "Ah. my dear, that's because of his cleverness." Punch.

FAITH OF THE FOREST.

Curious Traits of One of the Savage Tribes of Siberia. Concerning one of the obscure races of northwestern Siberia a traveler writes: "A few of the traits of these curious people may prove of interest as they show that environment is the strongest factor in determining character. Their intense superstition Is accounted for by innate fear of all things they cannot understand. Their shyness, dislike of strangers and dread of their lamas and .chiefs are again the result of superstition and seclusion. Sadness and melancholia are stamped on their faces, as is natural to a people who are in constant fear of the genii of the mountains, rivers and forests, whose whole time is taken up with propitiating the gods lest evil befall them. "The Uriankhal Is a product of the forest as the Arab is of the desert The one Is the antithesis of the other. Environment has molded the character of each to his surroundings. The fearless believer In one God, the nomad of the sunlit desert compares strikingly with the superstitious inhabitants of dark, damp forests, fearsome of evil sptrits and cringing under their witch doctors. "All through life the forest dweller Is In fear of offending the deities, and at death his corpse Is carried out and placed on some lone hilltop, where the wild beasts are expected tv devour it if the ninn has led a god life, but bad Crlackbai have nor that doubtful honor lie to wed upon the lu." Chicago News, ,

By CLYDE H. TAVENNER, M. C. WASHINGTON, March 24. Speaker Champ Clark Intends to co-operate In whole-hearted sincerity with President Wilson to carry out the promises contained in the Baltimore

platform. From the moment the Baltimore convention adjourned, he never had any other thought in view, but on the contrary has taken advantage of every opportunity to advise all Democrats to pull together for the

success of the administration and the good of the party.

That Champ Clark is not the kind

of a man to sulk, and that he will not,

was borne home forcibly to every

Democratic member of the new House at the recent caucus at which the

speaker was unanimously re-elected

to preside over the Sixty-third Con

gress. Unfortunately, no newspaper men were permitted to be present at this caucus, and the ringing speech made by Speaker Clark on behalf of party solidity did not get into the tent. I have the consent of the Speak

er as well as the Democratic caucus to publish such parts of the speech as I desire. Space will not permit the printing of the complete remarks of the Speaker, which is to be regretted,

because the speech is a complete refutation of the intimations which have appeared in the press recently to the effect that Mr. Clark Is unfriendly to the new administration. "Since the foundation of our government," said Mr. Clark, "no party has ever had a fairer prospect of a long lease of power or a better chance of promoting the wellfare and prosperity of the country than the Democratic party has. What will we do with the opportunity? The voters have only placed us on probation. Can we make good? Can we vindicate the vast army of voters who gave us the power to conduct the government? Undoubtedly we can. How? By keeping faith with the people. By religiously carrying out the promises by reason of which we won. By transmitting into law our pledges to improve the conditions under which we live. If we do this the people will recognize it ond approve our conduct. Democratic Promises Plain. "There is no doubt what our promises were. They were writ large in the Baltimore platform. Our first promise was a tariff for revenue only, and to give the people that, or as close an approximation thereto as possible, is the first duty of the new administration and of the new Congress; and in passing it may be said and ought to be said, that tariff reduction which does not reduce the cost of living is

not worth the paper on which it is printed. "Following that we promised to Strengthen the anti-trust law; to es

tablish an income tax; to revise the banking laws; to improve our waterways: to provide for a reasonable conservation system; to create a department of labor, which we have already done, and to declare the nation's purpose touching the Philippines. It is an extensive program, but it is our duty to work it out. The only way to achieve it is for every Democrat in official position to give the best there is'! in him to help redeem our promises by subordinating individual ambition to the public weal. "That any man fit for official station will let his personal likes or dislikes interfere with his co-operating with any other Democrat in unifying the party in its herculean and multifarious tasks to redeem our pledges and thereby contributing, as I believe, to the increased prosperity and happiness of the American people, is a thin? incredible. The suggestion of such a state of affairs comes from faint hearted Democrats who are forever seeing ghosts or from maligrant marplots who, though masquerading

as Democrats, are not Democrats at all but wolves in sheep's clothing. Certain of these venomous eleventh-hour Democrats are loud-mouthed in proclaiming trouble where none exists

and in laying down a rule of conduct for real Democrats. "Genuine Democrats, who have the good of the party and the country at heart would do well to give no heed to these self-styled Democrats whose chief business is to stir up strife among Democrats by foully slandering any Democrat who has earned their enmity by being a Democrat at all times, under all circumstances and

at all places. "Democrats should take to heart the philosophy of the old saying: 'Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts.' Most assuredly Democrats should remember what happened to them by reason of their family quarrels from March 4, 1893, to March 19, 1910, when for the first time in the House electrified the country by voting together not a man missing in a great struggle. That

was a red-letter day in the history of

Democracy. Will Act With Wilson. "The House Democrats have been

together ever since and while neither

a prophet nor the son of a prophet, I

predict that they will in the Sixtythird Congress act in unison, not only

with themselves but with President

Wilson.

"After listening much and talking

little the best way to learn I have yet to find a House Democrat who does not take that view of it. If the lesson from our own historic quarrels is not sufficient, we would do well to ponder the present Republican feud

and the woeful plight, to which it has

reduced the party of Abraham Lin

coln."

NO ALARM Ohio State Journal The expected has not happened. There was a widespread apprehension that when Mr. Wilson became president there would be a slump in business. That has not occurred. The dark anticipations of politicians have not been realized. There is a gain of 20 per cent in our imports during January over the figures of January, 1912. The total value of all raw material increased in January, 1913, $11,000,000 over that of January. 1912. And for the seven months ending in January last the imports were $374,000 000, as against $287,000,000 in the corresponding period of the year before.

We attribute this confidence and

stability to the fact that President Wilson has taken a moral rather than a political stand. His purposes and promises are as pleasing to Republicans as they are to Democrats, If not more so. President Wilson has taken a strong, resolute, independent stand in favor of the public welfare, and not so much upon political lines as upon moral lines. In fact, he ia taking the stand of a high-minded citizen and

that is encouraging to commerce and manufacture. It should never be forgotten that righteousness Is the only

thing that exaiteth a nation, and President Wilson seems inclined to prove it and will succeed if his party will not interfere.

is proposed that Canberra shall be a model city and it must be with intense patriotic satisfaction that Americans realize that the successful plan, adopted after competition among the world's greatest architects and city

builders, is that of Walter Burley Griffin, of Chicago. Not only is the planner of this new model city for Australia an American, but the. idea back of the plan is American. The new capital is to be built much after the fashion originally designed for Washington. D. C. only it will cover a district having an area of

25 square miles, as against the 70 square miles of the District of Columbia. The plans provide for a city having a population of 75,000. In the center will be the government buildings, the houses of parliament, the governor

general's residence and such like, and

from, this governmental center

streets will radiate like the spokes of a wheel. In all its essential features the new capital will follow the American Idea, which is the most fitting because of the fact that the new federated commonwealth of Australia more nearly resembles our own form of government than anything else on earth. It Is within the sphere of this nation of ours that through stress and storm experiments have been made which, showing their worth, are being eagerly adopted in the brotherhood of na

tions.

THE AMERICAN IDEA. Indianapolis Star. In a general way we have known

that while we, as a nation, have borrowed much from the elder nations in the way of educational, sociological and art ideas, the other nations have been feeling subtly, perhaps, but none

the less surely, the value of American ideas. The peasants of European countries who have come over here to live have made moderate, but to them adequate, fortunes and have returned,

satisfied, to their native lands, have carried back with them advanced ideas as to agriculture, as to the voice

of the people in their own government

in the true meaning and value of liberty, and this leaven has insensibly borne fruit. But' we have a striking, concrete Instance of the growth of the American idea abroad in the building of the new capital of the federated commonwealth of Australia. It is named Canberra, after the district in New South Wales in which it is located. The foundation stone was laid on March 12 by Baron Denman, governor general of the commonwealth, and the building will now progress steadily, not haphazard, but following a carefully thought out and preconceived plan.

THE HUMAN FACTORY.

Its Machinery Develops With the Intellect That Directs It. A human being is a kind of factory. The engine and the works and all the various machines are kept in the basement, and he sends down orders to them from time to time, and they do the work which has been conceived up in headquarters. He expects the works down below to keep on doing these things without his taking any particular notice of them, while be occupies his mind, as the competent head of a factory should, with the things that are new and different and special and that his mind alone can do: the things which, at least in their present initial formative or creative stage, no machines as yet have been developed to do and which can only be worked out by the man up in the headquarters himself, personally, by the handiwork of his own thought The more a human being develops the moe delicate, sensitive, strong and efficient the more spirit informed, once for all, the machines in the basement are. As ho grows the various subconscious arrangements for discriminating, assimilating, classifying material, for pumping up power, light and heat to headquarters, all of which can be turned on at will, grow more masterful every year. They are found all slaving away for him. dimly, down in the dark while he sleeps. They hand him up in his very dreams new and strange powers to live and to kn?w with.

RHEUMATISM CURED BY UNITED DOCTORS SOUTH BEND, IND, MAN WAS IN BED FOR WEEKS WITH BAD CASE OF RHEUMATISM.

IS NOW AT HIS WORK

Family Doctor Had Failed to Give Benefit But United Doctors Give Quick Results.

To those who are afflicted with rheumatism the following letter will be of interest: "South Bend. Ind, Feb. 22, 1913. "To the Public: Some time previous to Jan. 14, 1911, I had been confined to my home and bed with a violent attack of rheumatism. This condition had progressed until my whole general system was depleted, and I was practically a physical wreck. I had almost despaired of finding anything or anybody who could restore me to a state of health. I had been for some time under treatment with my family physician, but all his efforts to help me seemed to be In vain. ' At last, hearing of the remarkable results obtained In some cases by the United Doctors, I decided If possible to give my case into their charge. I called one of the staff physicians to my home, where he gave me a careful and thorough examination. He decided that my case was one which presented many aspects not in common to the ordinary case of rheumatism, and that I would require a special line of medication which should be Introduced Into the system hypodermatically. 1 decided to submit to this line of treatment, and I must say that the results have been little short of marvelous. After three weeks of treatment 1 was able to call at the office with the aid cf crutches, and for the past Six weeks have been able to discard my crutches altogether. The doctor has Just told me that I can return to -work this week, and I am once more feeling like my old self. I feel that these expert medical gentlemen are entitled to great credit for what they have accomplished In my case, and I shall never lose an opportunity to recommend their services to my friends and acquaintances. Mr. Joe M. Gnoth, 813 Prairie Ave. The above letter tells the same old story that has been told In these columns so often before, the same story that hundreds and hundreds of our readers are telling their friends and neighbors today. "I was sick for years I went to doctors and doctors but always got worse the United Doctors cured me sound and well in a short time. That's the story they all telL Isn't it a beautiful one?
