Q
at all times since it's entrance into
the arena OF American politics, stood
the champion for a government ''of
the people, for the people and by the
people, and which has also at all
times proven itself equal to the task
and to the problems which haye
been from time to time entrusted to
it for q reasonable, iudicious and
beneficent solution, the "Grand Old
Party This party has now again
shown that it is not only possessed
Of courage but also of true states
manship, Of genius that will be
found wanting in the hour of trial.
A chief characteristic of the Repub-
lican Party from all others is that it
LESS but ENUNCIArEs
MORE than any other party. It
by creating something bot
ter. 1t acts. It lives and grows
and develops and looks forward to a
future as well as backward to q
glorious past. Other parties speak,
live, but do. not grow nor develop.
They look, if at all. backward only
to a disputed past and to deeds that
have left no particular history.
These latter also have always been
fout Of tact with the tendencies of
the age and always "anti'' some-
thing. But not so with the Repub-
lican Party. Always in tact with
the tendencies OF the age, always
progressive, always ready to look
into the business prosperity OF the
people, always on the alert for en-
croachinS and dangerous influences
to the wealth and welfare of the ma,
tiOn and forever eager in it's defense
of the Star Spangled Banner, it will
pilot the Ship OF State through the
straits and sounds, beyond the
shoals and breakers and part the
seven yawning mouths OF Charybdis
and Scylla Of the nineteenth century
into a safe course we'll equipped for
the struggles that might be met on
tue journey through the century
that is fast dawning full in our view.
The traditions of the American peo-
pie are large and the Republican
Party are at work to enlarge them
to our posterity The traditions OF
our people are Liberty, Equality
and Freedom. When Hercules on
the fields of Erymanthus slew the
famous hydra that for many years
had harassed those regions, Lerna
shook with violence. When the Re.
publican Party, as Pres. Mckinley
has outlined it, has fettered or coyed
the hydra, the trust, that is harass-
ing our people. Lerna-the sea of
industries - may shake,
but the peace of the people will have
been secured, and the priceless legacy
OF the American nation preserved.
And the Republican Party is the on
ly party capable OF doing this. If it
is baffled all is lost. But they will
not be baffled. Their labor and con-
scious efforts will be crowned with
the glory of success. Remedies will
be discovered. Means of abating
the ravenous desires OF monopoly
will be found. Other economic evils
exist. Most notable among these
are the conditions ofour great cities.
The sociological problems offered by
them are enormous and astounding.
1T is admitted in high places that
onr cities lead European cities in
three things dirt, indebtedness and
social detriment. Berlin OF to-day,
a city comparatively young, is
nominally indebted to larger ex-
tent than the average American city,
but only nominally, and this is be-
cause it has invested in such large
enterprises. 1t has its own water
works, it's own lighting plants, it's
own sewer system and it's own sys-
tenn OF street cleaning. It is gov
erned as is an American railway
company or a similar corporation.
Its chief executive is a man installed
for life and paid a salary such as is
to warrant the full demand
Of his time. He is also the most
talented person that can be found.
the most successful business man.
The result is obvious. They have
cheaper light, cheaper water, a
cheaper sewer system, cleaner streets
a better police system and lower
taxes. The investments of the CITY
