AN OLD WORD BOBS UP
One of the interesting little by-
products of the La Follette party in
Wisconsin is an apparent revival of
the word, “progressive.”
Twenty years ago, or more, that
word occupied much the same posi-
tion that the word "liberal 'has oc-
cupied in the past decade. It had
no exact definition, but in general
it implied a willingness to go for-
ward, to experiment, to take
chances, coupled with a desire to
make the uncertain future better
than the imperfect present.
But no word ever seems to stay
put very long. As the first Senator
La Fodlette used the term, a pro-
gressive was a man who stood for a
fairly well-defined program of po-
litical action; then Ool. Theodore
Roosevelt took the word and used
it to christen a new political party
in which the La Follette program
was rather substantially modified.
And then, at last, the Roosevelt
party went out of existence, and the
war came along, and the reforms
that had been fought for so hard
In the early part of the century be-
gan to look either unattainable or
illusory; presently we began to hear
about “tired progressives,” and the
former leaders in the movement be-
gan to write books about their dis-
illusionment.
So we stopped hearing about pro-
gressives, in the 1920’s, and the so-
cial-political outlook which once
bad been called progressive became
known as liberal

MOST scientists are agreed that birds are descendants of reptiles,
and a favorite bit of evidence for the belief is the fossil of an
ancient creature, the Archaeopteryx, a toothed, reptile-like bird
that lived in the Jurassic period. Two specimens are known . . .
one in the British Museum, and one in Berlin.

Why do they seem to follow that
unwritten law of diffusion and slow
death? What Is there about them
that sends them all down the path
of disillusion, in the end?
Tired progressives, tired liberals;
why do they get tired? We don’t
hear of tired reactionaries, or tired
revolutionaries either. The extrem-
ist always seems to keep his faith
and ihis vigor. It is the middle-of-
the-road man, the slightly-left-of-
ceniter person, who wears out. Why?
Maybe the trouble is that the lib-
eral, or progressive, tries to make
the best of both worlds: the future
and the past. It Is a hard job, per-
haps an impossible one. And yet it
seems to be the way America pro-
gresses.

were a resumption of a strategy
which failed In February. Yesterday
the center column attacked New
Horse Bridge, eight miles south of
Kuchen, where Chfnese gunners
halted the February offensive.
All Americans had fled Kwoyang,
in the path of the left-wing column,
but six Southern Baptist mission-
aries remained at Fbhsien, 35 miles
south of Kweteh.
The Chinese denied they had lost
Miengoheng and insisted the Japa-
nese had been pushed back. They
also denied a report that Shoahsing,
35 miles southeast of Hangchow,
had fallen to Japanese assault In a
long-dormant Chekiang Province
sector south of Shanghai.
Casualties In

down a motorist’s vision. “Judge,
all of a sudden it started thunder-
ing and I couldn’t see a thing.”

The train made the 18-mile “ran”
from Falcon in nine minutes. Rail-
road men estimated its speed when
it arrived here at 180 miles an hour.
It tore around curves so rapidly
rail spikes were pulled up two and
three inches.
William Marquant, oar inspector
at the Rock Island roundhouse at
suburban Roswell, received a fran-
tic telephone call from Falcon
warning that the itrain was “wild.”
He ran from the roundhouse and
threw the switch from the main
line to the roundhouse tracks. An
instant later the train piled up in
the yards.
Trainmen said air

Three transients were injured
when 22 cars of a Santo Fe freight
train became uncoupled, jumped the
track and tore up about 450 feet of
track near Thatcher, in Southeast-

anese sources to be ringed with 400,-

tive of one of the three northbound
columns. It was reported approach-
ing Kuchen, on the Tientsin-Pukow
line, 70 miles south of SuCbow.
Take Mengcheng
The left wing column was report-
ed to have wrested Mengcheng, 35
miles west of Kuchen, from the
Chinese in a fierce contest, and to
be advancing on Kwoyang, 35 miles
to Memgcheng's northwest and
about 60 miles from Kweiteh, a
Lungjhai Railway city west of Su-
chow.
To the northeast of Kweiteh, at
Tsining, Shantung Province, a Jap-
anese force started skirmishing as a
prelude to a simultaneous drive on
Kweiteh from the north. Japanese
planes bombed Kweiteh yesterday
to soften the resistance.
Thirty-five thousand Chinese were
entrenched near Kiastang, west of
Tsining, ready to oppose the Kwei-
teh drive.

but that word,
too, suffered many changes.
You could find hardly anyone who
would admit that he was not a lib-
eral. It got so, finally, that any man
who had ceased to believe in the
divine right of kings could call him-
self a liberal; and as tie word got
diluted and watered down the men
who had originally UJ id the label
got tired just as the progressives
had done before them, and the lib-
eralism of the early 'twenties died
out as the progressivism of the pre-
ceding generations had done.
So now we are back with' the pro-
gressives once more, or will be if the
