WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1914.
DISCORD AT ARMAGEDDON.
Col. Roosevelt will not read George
W. Perkins out of the Progressive
party at the demand of Amos Pin
chot. One of the colonel’s admirable
traits is that of standing by his
friends. Even if he had not that trait,
it would be poor politics to begin a
congressional campaign by publicly
admitting that he has been mistaken
in choosing Perkins as. one whom he
delighted to honor. Mr. Pinchot
knows all this, of course, and cannot
expect any result from his onslaught
except to make trouble for his party
at the outset of the campaign. Why
he should do this is a mystery only
to those who do know Mr. Pinchot.
The Progressive party, like all oth
ers, is made up of men of varying
•shades of opinion. It contains mod
erate Progressives, radical Progres
sives, and a third variety which can
be summarized in Col. Roosevelt’s
o.wn remark, made in another con
nection, that every reform movement
has attached to it a “lunatic fringe.”
Amos Pinchot was an original La
Follette man, who was enticed with
difficulty into the Bull Moose move
ment and has shown an inclination
to kick over the traces at every stage
of the proceedings ever since.
Col. Roosevelt is to open the Pro
gressive campaign on June 30 with
a speech at Pittsburgh for the elec
tion of Mr. Pinchot’s brother Gifford
to the Senate. Brother Amos’s ac
tion in starting a bonfire under the
Progressive party in advance of that
event is not likely to help Brother
Gifford much, but considerations of
that kind never weigh very heavily
with Brother Amos, whose political
strategy is that of Donnybrook Fair.
While Amos Pinchot is not import
ant in himself, he may give the Bull
Moose considerable trouble, for his
attack on Perkins will bring to a
head a feeling which has hitherto
been repressed among the more rad
ical spirits of the party. They have
chafed a good under Perkins’ promi
nence in their ranks, and now their
chafing will find expression. To throw
him to the wolves would be unjust,
for not only has he given of his
money to the cause, but he is, we
believe, thoroughly sincere in his ad
vocacy of their principles and earnest
in his desire to bring about what he
considers reforms. To drop him at
the cry of the wild and restless spir
its in the movement would be to
serve notice that devotion to the
cause is of no value unless it is leav
ened with insanity. Of that there is
uo danger; but Col. Roosevelt’s re
fusal to do it, which we confidently
predict, will create ill-feeling and
discontent among his more radical
followers and make the Progressive
party’s path and that of Brother Gif
ford no smoother.
It would be interesting to know
what Brother Gifford thinks of it,
but on that point Brother Amos, vol
uble concerning his indorsement by
Stubbs and William Allen White, has
nothing to say.—New York Times.

JOHNSON FIGHT
Big Black Will Try to Retain Cham
pionship On Friday—Moran Also
Expects t0 Win.
PARIS, June 24.—One thing that
appears to be as certain and inevi
table as taxes and death is that the
Jack Johnson-Owen Moran scrap in
Paris next Friday will be a real fight.
There was talk of a frame-up, cer
tainly. There most always is just
before a fight of this calibre. But
the only frame-up, if any, will be
the double-crossing that each fighter
will try to put over on the other one.
Just put it dowrn that Jack Johnson
cares about as much 'for that cham
pionship title as he does for both his
eyes and his two legs. His pride in
the title is exactly like the pride of
the average down south darkey of
his glaring lodge regalia on parade.
Jack Johnson, with a super-abun
dance of confidence and conceit, will
tote into that fight Friday everything
he has in the way of defence and
punch. Johnson knows the jeers and
howls of delight'that would arise from
some eighty millions of American
throats should Moran slip over a
sleep producer on him.
Johnson also knows and realizes
that if he goes in and fights like the
Big Black that humbled Jeffries at
Reno, and wins, he will have it said
of him in spite of his disgusting mor
ality, or rather lack of it, that he is
a grand fighter. For that much of
his make-up fight lovers will hold
admiration. Once more, take the tip
that Jack Johnson will fight with all
that's in him.
Just how much is left in Johnson
after a year of Paris life and Paris
debauches, remains for Owen Moran
to discover. Moran is far above the
average fighter in intelligence and in
tellect. Better, he is a pretty good
two-fisted fighting man. But Moran’s
intelligence and superior intellect has
made him map out a course and carry
it through to the best of his ability.
Moran has no idea that he will have
it easy for a minute. He believes,,
on the other hand, and many others
hold the same theory, that Jack
Johnson will furnish Moran with a lot
of trouble in the first half of the
battle. '
Moran wants only to last that long.
After that, he says, he expects John
son’s condition to begin to show and
to furnish the chance for him to
bring the title back to America on
a white man’s head.
The betting is two. to one on John
son and much money has been wa
gered at that ratio.

The Reason
While there may be danger of over
working the word efficiency, there is
little likelihood of pushing beyond due
limits the idea which it has come to
represent. It stands for getting the
maximum amount of results from the
minimum expenditure of time, money,
energy. The expert, the efficiency en
gineer, is invading all lines of busi
ness, eliminating waste in all its
fortos. If it is worth. while to pay
efficiency engineers to show us how
to retrench on business lines, is it not
infinitely more important to employ
efficiency engineers of the human ma
chine? The real office of the physi
cian is to keep his patients well. All
conscientious, up-to-date physicians
agree to this. Since there is such
an agreement among physicians, what
is the contribution of osteopathy to
the healing sciences? What is the
reason for its existence?
The distinctive contribution of os
teopathy is that that mechanical de
rangements of various tissues of the
body, by interfering with the blood
and nerve supply of the organs, and
consequently their functions, are a
fruitful source of disease.
No other recognised school of heal
ing holds these ideas, and since in
the twenty-two years that osteopathy
has been practiced as a profession it
has demonstrated in countless thou
sands of cases that the theory is
true, that it works, it would seem
that the fact that it cures cases that
nohing else will cure is sufficien rea
son for its existence.
