WHY THE REPUBLICAN PARTY SHOULD BE SUCCESSFUL IN NOVEMBER. By FRANK HEXDRICK of New Tork City. I. The Party of Expansion. The Republican party wai founded upon toe principle that this govern ment was established to protect for all times the rights and opportunities of every Individual from abridgment That principle It has successfully main tained. Through the civil war it conse- crated a reunited country to free and equal American citizenship. It has kept the channels of interstate com merce open for all. and through the national banking system, the refund lug of the national debt, resumption of . specie payments, the gold standard and the emergency currency law has sus - talned the life current of national in tegrity. . , ' Aa trustee of the national wealth It has Investigated mineral regions, sur veyed soils, developed waterways, in- eluding the Panama canal; Irrigated deserts, conserved watersheds and bus banded the public lands. Protecting American labor by regulating Immi gration and by taking at the custom bouse to pay American taxes foreign capital's advantage from low wages It has preserved to American industries the home market of 80,000.000 of the world's greatest consumers and so laid the surest basis for American compe tition In foreign markets. Uniting cap ital and labor thus In a common pros perity and common source of lncreaseJ reward. It has created opportunities. Improved conditions of employment brought about a higher standurd of living and more widespread distribu tion of wealth and well being and made expansion moral as well as mate rial. Intrusted with Insular possessions, It has brought them peace and progress and provided for the extension and protection of American trade, for the national defense and for the honorable discharge of the responsibilities of world greatness. Maintaining peace at home,, with foreign nations and among them. It has given American rights and American opportunities new meaning throughout the nation and throughout the world. II. The Party of Progress and Pros perity. Promising progress and prosperity, it has been politically sincere. It baa never bad a candidate of a section, prejudice or class nor a platform of negation, scheme of repudiation, pro gramme of scuttle or doctrine of de spair. It has never lent Itself to a de mand for revolution, to be followed by reaction and retrogression, it has stood firm for evolution by constant, steady and enduring progress. Finding trusts, giant born, flourishing under supposed conflict of state and national law, the double prohibition of existence serving but to foster their development, it has never In an attempt to destroy trusts withdrawn In state or nation the pro tection of law from property, but has through executive Investigation and resort to the courts resolved the con flict which had silenced law and given trusts existence. It has never proposed to advance American worklngmen and American Institutions by banishing American In dustries and building up those of olher lands and scorned to Insult labor with an Illusory promise of Immunity from law. Yet It passed the uro fod law and the employers' liability law, se cured oo,unl acconmiod.ninti on rail iiads, aided ngrleullure, created the flvll service, established free rural mall delivery, reduced foreign posing? and Increased pensions. Continuing naturally marked out progress. It will keep Its pledges of tariff readjustment, currency reform and development of the merchant marine and make the Tnlted Stales the tlnancliil center ns It has made It the Industrial center of the world. III. The Constructive Party It Or Saniies tha National Will. In the evolution by which, party gov ernment has become the extra constitu tional method of securing rexiusllll Ity to the people the Republican party has become their traditional represent ative and the IVmoemtle party the organized aspiration of individuals for power without responsibility. Kalrly l tried, from 1S; to tSi the two IVmo ?ratlo houses and the IHHMocrnttc presi dent were a "wild team" and a helpless- driver. Democracy agitates local differences; Republicanism organizes the national Idea. In 1S3 the people were committed to the cause of human liberty. The Idea of "liberty and un ion" expanded for the first time Into the reality of the American nation. In 1S79 money was committed to a specie basis. Siwle was at once, uu til 1S03, no longer sought, and govern ment bonds weut to a premium at the reduced rate of interest In 1S1X1 busl- j ness men were again committed to con- fldence. Before a single statute was I enacted proserity set In. and In teu years bank deposits almost trebled a permanent galu which the recent panic, a "state of mind" now completely dis pelled, scarcely touched. In UXX! busi ness was committed to fair methods. Without compulsion violations largely ceased. The Republican party at each pe riod sounded the public couscieuce, felt the national pulse, framed Its pol icies in respouse and realised In law the dominant American Idea. Its con structive past assures Its constructive future. It is today, as It always haa been, "the party lit to govern." IV. The Party of Statesmen. The party of statesmanship, it has been the training school of statesmen. Its policies hare been forged in the : beat of public discussion, tempered in the deliberation and shaped in the con flict of many trained minds and drawn and finally wrought for the country's welfare. Dominating Its members through principles, it assures unity In government. Its stancbest partisans hare made the greatest contributions to national progress. The roster of Its leaders la the national roll of honor of public service. V Taft and Sherman Constructive Candidates A Constructive Platform. Republicanism stands today for pro gressive policies In safe hands. By solving the constructive problems of world power lnkthe last two adminis trations William H. Taft taught the world our capacity and us his own. In all constructive legislation for twenty years James S. Sherman has tfcen a leader. In the records of the Repub lican candidates as well as In the plat form are written the story of the na tion's progress and the reliance of the future. A' Democratic president or a Demo cratic house would turn back those pages. Thereafter Bryanlsm would record "destruction." This the Re publican senate could cot prevent Un der Taft and Sherman and a Republic an congress the great progress of the past will be held and the greater prog ress of the future will be assured.

The nation has a surplus of H. 000.000.000 which has been accumulated since the en actment ot the Dingier tariff law. Brook lyn Eagle. Interesting, but untrue. New Tork World. If untrue In any sense It Is because of understatement' Compared with the dismal four years Immediately preced ing the enactment of the DIngley tariff law, the nation has accumulated a sur plus of twenty times $1,000,000,000. The Increase In savings bonks deposits alone since 1897 amounts to nearly $2,000,000,000. The Increase In the val ue of farm products and of farm lands In the last eleven years amounts to more than $10,000,000,000, and the In crease In city and town property val ues Is represented by a still larger amount Then there has been an In crease of nearly $1,000,000,000 a year in wages paid. It takes more than ten figures to express what the nation has accumulated In a little less than eleven years of DIngley tariff protection. Amerloan Economist.

LASTING MONUMENT TO DR. Mc LOUGiiLIN COMMITTEE NAMED BY FATHER HILLEBRAND APPROVES AC COUNT OF INSTITUTE. Impartiality of Courts. One of the uncomfortable features of administering Justice from a court is that you get a great many more of one kind of cases than you do of another, and men with capital are able to go into court, and men who haven't capi tal are afraid of It. Now, one of the difficulties In respect to these contro versies Is that the labor unions don't go Into court as much as I wish they did. The courts will protect their In dustrial rights with nil the care that they can possibly summon. It Is a grat ification to.slt In a case of that sort so as to demonstrate the Impartiality of courts. William H. Taft Particular Men ARE PLEASED WITH OUR LAUNDRY WORK BECAUSE IT IS DONE RIGHT, BECAUSE WE GET IT OUT THE DAY WE PROMISE IT AND BE CAUSE WE GUARANTEE IT. GIVE US A TRIAL ORDER.

They have nothing whatever In com mon. One Is the direct antithesis of the other. One Is a practical states man, the other an impractical dream er. One Is patriotic, the other Is plati tudinous. One Is constructive, the oth er destructive. One believes in Intelli gent action, the olher In unintelligible agitation. Congressman Rodenberg. Had a Close Call, Mrs. Ada L.

A. Hillebrand, principal of the Institute, and pastor of St. John's Church. Father Hillebrand named an auditing committee to Inspect the books and accounts, and they made the following report: Oregon City, Or., Oct. 27. 1908. We, the undersigned auditing com mittee appointed to examine and re port on the matter of the receipt and exnendltures on account of the construction of the Doctor John Mc Loughlin Institute, beg leave to re port as follows: We have examined the subscription ; lists, reports of entertainments given and find the total collected has been I J5.1SS.C3. Money has been borrowed from private parties amounting to $7.0d0, at a very reasonable rate of Interest. The accounts, receipted bills and vouchers have been carefully j checked over and we find that the to-1 tal expenditures have been $12,182.45, j leaving a balance on hand of $0.20. The contracts for labor on and the j material used in the construction of the Institute have had our careful i consideration and in our opinion the building has been erected on very i reasonable and satisfactory terms. I The funds have been handled in a ( careful and businesslike manner, a ; complete record being kept of all sub- , scriptlons and receipts from all i sources, also receipts and vouchera for all payments being on file. The Institute will be a lasting mon-1 ument. to the memory of Dr. John Mc Loughlin, and the loyal and generous j manner In which the members have j contributed toward Its erection Is! very creditable to St. John's Parish. ! Great praise Is due Rev. A. Hillebrand. who has had charge of the erection of I the Institute, for the excellent man ner In which the building has been constructed and the funds handled; also the Benedictine Sisters, for the careful and systematic manner In which all the records and accounts have been kept.
