Free from the money changers greed,
Free from hypocrisy and creed,
Free from the dreaded lash OF need,
And free to reap where they have sown,
Free from earth's scoHrge, the conqueror;
Free from the murdefous lust OF war.
Free from the robbers cry OF more
And free to have their own;
Free voluntarily TO share
Their blessings for the common good;
Free to each others burdens bear,
In helpfulness and brotherhood; n
Free in security to live.

seniatiou OF the ticket were unsxaul-
Piled in the history Of parties For the
first time since national delegate con-
yentions were invented both members
OF presidential ticket were selected
by a unanimous vote Of the assem-
blage. There have been cases. al
though they occurred seldom. when
candidates for President were nom
mated without opposition. In still
fewer instances nominees for vice pres

gle. The two cases never occurred In
the same convention however, until
yesterday. In Philadelphia. on June
21. 1900, for the first time in the annals
Of national party assemhlages, the can
didates for President and vice presl-

vote OF all the representatives Of the

m'klNLEY AND ROOSEVELT,

There has been no doubt for the past
year as to whom the great majority Of
the rank and file of the Republican
party wanted on the ticket for vice
president Only his own expressed
wish kept Roosevelt from being made
the nominee, as Mckinley was. long
before the delegates to the convention
Were chosen Finally. notwIthstand-
ing his expressed wish. the oyerwheln-
ing desire of the people. voiced by del
egates especially from the western
states, prevailed, and the nomination
was made.
There was universal recognition of
the fact that the ticket is the strongest
that the Republican could have named.
The sober. conservative Judgment of
the people recognizes that Mckinley
has been on the whole one OF the best
Presidents we ever had; and the young
and ardent and energetic manhood of
America is enthusiastic over the sturdy
New Yorker who ia really as western
in spirit as any pIainsInan or noun

tune that would have made 1t easy for
him to devote his days to golf and his

hunter, historian. soldier, politician,
statesman, in turn or all at once. and
whose frankness, courage, good sense.
and manllness, have won the respect
at least of every man and woman in
America
The ticket is especially strong in that
the two men on it both stand on a rec
ord of things done. There hardly need
ed to be platform aside from the can
dldates. AS was well said long ago,
the briefest expression OF the Repub-
lican achievement OF the past forty
, years may be put in two words-pros-
perity and expansion. McKlnley's 5

expansion by virtue OF what he has

what he is. The Republican party is
fortunate in It's candidates; for ii does
not need to promise. II does not need 90
ask its supporters to exercise much
faith; it can point TO its candidates and

we have done. and these are the kind

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The Republican, platform OF 1900 Is
work of mechanics rather than Of
art.
Its making was n problem OF con
struction- rather than an exercise for
the Imagination
Its trainers found the material ready
30 their hands, and to degree unusual
in such matters the material Itself was
Of far greater importance than the
manner of its arrangement or the skill
with which IL might be decorated
The empty piautudes Of the ordinary
platform, the I'VE condemns" the
I'VE deplore-s- and the I'VE point
with pride-s" have no place in this
plain record Of wen known facts and
clear repetition Of principles whose
wisdom and sufiicIency have been tri-
umphantly demonstrated beyond rea-
sonable doubt by the course OF events
The Republican platform is not a
matter OF argument nor OF theory. II
IL plain statement Of facts. facts
known to all the world. facts substan-
tiated by the official government rec
ords of this nation and OF other ma
lions, facts which are illustrated In the
individual experiences Of millions Of
Americans throughout the country.
facts which form alike the triumphant
proof OF party success and the indis-
putable evidence of the party ability
for the future.
This then is the platform Of the Re
publican party:
A plain and undeniable statement OF
past events constituting an unparalleI-
ed record OF party success and a tri-
umphant demonstration OF the wis
dom of party principles;
A sincere. straightforward and un-
reserved promise of the continuance Of
the present policy in national affairs.
and patient persistence In the settle
ment of pending difficulties:
The pledge Of the treatment of any
new problems in the same spirit of
common sense Americanism and I'M
partial consideration for the rights and
interests of all classes and sections
that has distinguished the party in
the past
Upon such n platform the RepubIl-
can party with its triumphant record
Of past successes invites the co-opera-
ton of all Republicans without regard
to past differences and also of all Amer
leans who believe In the principle Of
letting well enough alone. or who have
seen the folly of destroying the foun-
datfons of our prosperity in an effort
to correct small or imaginary fmper-
fections and evils.--Golorado Springs

ROOSEVELT FOB VICE PRESi-
DENT.

The unanimous nomination OF 1heo-
dore Roosevelt for vice president of the
United States was fitting climax 10
the proceedings of the Republican con-
vention. The combination OF McKin-
ley and Roosevelt Is inyincible. The
alleged political scheming Of Plat cuts
no figure one way or the other. What
Mr.. Plat may or may not do IS of no
interest to the people at large. The Inn
portant fact Is thar the party and the
people wanted Governor Roosevelt on
the ticket and will support him in No
vember. The political superstition that
man who becomes vice president is
buried need give nobody any concern
Mr. Roosevelt is not the sort of ulan to
be buried in the vice presidency or any
where else. He is too young and yigor-
ous-too good fighter-and has too
many resources TO be successfully
showed into ohscurity by any scheme
or by any set OF circumstances. He
will make model vice president and
be stronger and more popular than ever
four years hence.
1t was a case Of the Office seeking the
man From the first 1t was apparent
that the delegates were bent upon
nominating Roosevelt. All the other
candidates were strong and seceptab bic
men, but he was the choice. His name
alone stirred enthusiasm among all the
delegates from the East and West
alike. Instead OF seeking the uomina-
tion. he rather sought TO avoid I; until
il became apparent that the whole par
" wanted him He declared himself
ready to act at the beheSt Of the par
~. but not at the behest Of the Indiyiti-
uaL" When II beceame certain that
the whole convention wanted him be
did what patriotic and loyal Repub-
Iican in such circumstances should do
he consented. saying: Il can't help
myself: the voice Of the party must be
obeyed- He was named by the whoss
Republican party. and such q demand
could not be ignored
The absolutely unanimous vote Of bis
Acknowledgements and the Wild outburst
Of enthusiasm that greeted his noRin-
alton were typical Of the sentiments OF
the whole nation toward him IL Is a
simple statement OF fact that Theodore
Roosevelt Is the most popular mau in
American politics after President Nc
KinIey. The President himself Is thor
oughly pleased. with the choice made
Rooseytit's nomination will meet with
enthusiastic approval from the Atlantic

In a little western town, originally
settled by Quakers, stands church in
which the practice OF seating men and
women apart still prevails A few
years ago, a newcomer mustered cou-
rage to cross the aisle and sit beside
his bride. The second Sunday another
man committed the same offence. and
the third Sunday saw generous
surtnkIing of barred heads alongside
spring bonnets. The aged minister,
with outraged sense OF propriety,
chose for his text: Let destruction
come upon him at unawares; and let
his net that he hath hid catch him
self" and minced no words in exposi-
tiop. The men who had dared TO STRAY
from established custom rebened at
being eternaIly doomed for sitting be-
side their wives, and left the church in
a body. The result Is that today in
that little town stands two church
buildings, side by side. counterparts in
size and paint and outlook; but in one
the sexes are divided by middle
isle. while in the other 'promiscuous
sitting prevails. The trivialities
which hinder Christian comfy may
travel far for an apter illustration.
