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.

Understated.
The nation has a surplus of H. 000.000.000
which has been accumulated since the en
actment ot the Dingier tariff law. Brook

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.

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

For the information and benefit of
the scores of open-hearted people who
subscribed money for the construction
of McLoughlin Institute, an accurate
account of the receipts and expendi
tures haa been prepared by Rev. 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.
