Progressive Notes.
The great big fact that stands out
prominently in connection with the
meeting of ‘the Republican National
Committee in Washington this week is
that it formally and deliberately con-
fessed its sins and if there was any-
where in the Urited States a lingering
doubt as to who broke up the Repub-
lican party, that action of these gen-
tlemen in Washington this week must
dispel any such doubt.
Whatever else their action amounted
to, it confesses that their position at
the Chicago Convention in 1912 was
wrong; yet it was that very position
that brought about Mr. Taft’s nomi-
nation and defeated the nomination of
Mr. Roosevelt. I take it that thereis
no one who will now question this
statement. Mr. Taft’s nomination was
not only forced by the use of South-
eran delegates from states that had
no possible chance to cast an electoral
vote tor a Republican president, but
forced by the usurpation of power bv
the National Committee in seating
such delegates from other states as
arbitarily chose. In the election which
followed, Mr. Taft was overwhelming-
ly defeated... Mr. Roosevelt received
more votes than did Mr. Taft. Mr.
Wilson received a minority number of
all the votes cast,even a smaller num-
ber of votes than Mr. Bryan received
one time when he was a candidate;
and the Demccratic party was placed
in charge of our federal government.
The first thing that the Republican
National Committee did when it met
in Washington this week was to set
up the calamity howl and talk at
length about the depression in busi-
ness, the number of men who are
being thrown out of work, and the
general sad straights to which the
country in their judgment, have been
reduced, industrially speaking—the
whole idea being that this is because
the Democratic party is in power. If
we are facing an industrial shutdown,
if we are facing soup-houses and bread
lines,and these gentlemen are right in
saying that it is because the Demo-
cratic party is in power, then in view
of their confession at Washington re-
cently they and they alone are respon-
sible for placing the Democratic par-
ty in power, directly responsible for
the dire conditions which they claim
the country is facing. i
At the Chicago Convention in 191
this same sort of talk was heard, viz.,
that rather than let Roosevelt get the
nomination and be elected it was bet-
ter to let the Democrats have it for
four years, plunge the country into
depression and trouble, starve the
country into submission, and then
these men would come back into pow-
er again and be able to carry out their
political plans and ambition as they
individually pleased.
They are consistently carrying out
this program. They do not care what
becomes of the country so long as they
individually can survive politically,
The so-called plan adopted at Wash-
ington this week by the Republican
National Committee is already spoken
in the papers as the ‘‘Barnes plan.”
The meeting of the Republican Nati-
onal Committee was yery much like
the conference held in New York City
a few days ago. Everything was
postponed ; sometning is going to be
done sometime in the future provided
something else is done meanwhile. It
is very much like Col. Carter’s famous
promissory note to his niece which
read something as follows; ‘‘As soon
as possible after date I promise to pay
to my beloved niece as much as I can
afford for value received.”’
After the Chicago convention. when
the Progressive party was organized,
the Progressives were roundly blamed
for not remaining within the ranks of
the Republican party and reforming it
from within. Does an open-minded
man now believe that anything at all
could have been accomplished by fol-
lowing any such course? The mem-
bers of the National Committee of the
Republican party are only making the
motions they are now making because
of the hardest sort of hammering from
Progressives all over the country.
They are making them for no other
2ason; they do not believe in what
they are doing; they do not intend to
carry out their program in good faith
if they can possibly avoid it; they
haven’t the slightest possible sympa-
thy with the program from beginning
to end. In putting out their prospec-
tus for readjusting representation in
future Republican National Conven-
tions they arbitrarily usurped the
power which clearly belongs to the
party, exactly as they usurped power
at the Chicago Convention in 1912 in
seating delegates. Their own Law
Committee, appointed for the purpose
of determining whether the National
Committee had power to do this thing
reported back to the National Com-
mittee last week that it had no such
power; that only a National Conven-
tion of the party could exercise it.
This report was ignored in precisely
the same manner that reports were
ignored at Chicago in 1912, They have
can it be conceivable to any man who
cares a rap for his country or its free
institutions that there can be any get-
ting together movement between the
Republican party, so-called and the
Progressive party? Which branch of
the Republican party as it stands to.
day is the Republican party—the
branch that wanted in Washington to
call a conventicn of the party, or the
branch that did not want to call a con-
vention? Forms and symbols are not
interesting the American voters of tar
day. He is after something that is
real and tangible. He is interested in
principles as such, and not forms and
phases.
Roosevelt left the White House with
a united Republican party. In 1908
Taft was nominated in Chicago on a
platform that was clear and distinet.
Definite pledgs to the people were
made, but no sooner did he and his
associates begin to do business in
Washington than they began to go
back on their platform and failed to
keep their promises to the people.

Evergreen Trees in B d Con
dition.
evergreen trees supposed to have been
damaged by scale insects, were re-
ceived from Washington County, Pa.,
at the Division of Zoology of the De-
partment of Agriculture, Harrisburg,
with a request for information as to
the causevof their impaired condition.
One of the specimans'was from a tree
that appeared to de diseased when it
was planted some twenty years ago,
according to the correspondent, who
stated that ‘‘it has never done any
good.”’
Professor H. A. Surface, the Eco-
nomic Zoologist of the State, in re-
porting upon the specimens wrote as
follows: : .
‘‘I have recieved the twigs and
bark of your evergreen trees, which
you sent to me, and must confess that
I can not find any insects present, and
the subj. ct of plant diseases belongs
to the specialist known as a plant
pathologist. For that reason I would
advise you to send some of the sup-
posed diseased bark and twigs to
Prof. N. B. Waite, U. 8. Plant Path-
ologist, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. C. Also if you wish
you might send some twigs to Prof.
Hugh Buker, Forester, State College,
Pa.
‘‘It appears to me that the tops of
your trees are too dense, or, perhaps
they are too much shaded. I would
advise cultivating the ground about
them, and opening out the tops by a
little pruning. Sowe fertilizer con-
taining phosphoric acid and potash,
such as would be‘obtained in phos-
phate rock and wood ashes, should
be mixed with the soil around the
roots. If
diseases, to whom you write and sub-
mit speci. ens, have different di-
rections to give you, I would recom-
mend you to follow their directions
rather than mine. However, in the
absence of any directions from them
I am sure that what I give you will
not prove injurious, but, on the
other hand, will be helpful.’’
