NEW EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT

NEW EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT
In the interest of our expanding COM
merce we recommend that Gre
ate a department of commerce and in
dustries, in the charge of a secretary,
with a seat in the cabinet.
The United States consular system
should be reorganized under the super
vision of this new department, under
such a basis of appointment and tenure
as will render it still more serviCeable
to the nations increasing trade.
PROTECTION OF CITIZENS.
The American government must pro-
tect the person and property of every
citizen wherever he is wrongfully vio-
lated or placed in peril.
WORK OF WOMEN.
We congratulate the women of Amer
lea upon their splendid record of public
service in the volunteer aid association
and as nurses in camp and hospital
during the recent campaigns of our
dies, and we appreciate their faithful
cooperation in all works of education
and industry.
SAMOA.
President Mckinley has conducted
the foreign affairs Of the United States
with distinguished credit to the Ameri-
can people. In releasing us from the
vexatious condition of a European alN-
for the government Of Samoa, his
is especially to be commended.
BY securing to Jul undivided control
the most important island Of the Sa-
moan group, and the best harbor in the
Pacific, every American in
terest has been safeguarded.
HAWAII.
We approve the annexation of the
islands to the United States.
BOERS AND MONROE DOCTRINE.
We commend the part taken by u
government in the peace conference at
The Hague. We assert u %steadfast
adherence to the policy announced in
the Monroe doctrine. The provisions of
The Hague convention were wisely re-
when President Mckinley ten
lered his friendly offices in the interest
Of peace between Great Britain and the
South African Republic.
While the American government must
the policy prescribed by Wash
affirmed by every succeeding
president, and imposed upon us by The
Hague treaty, Of non-intervention in
European controversies, the American
earnestly hope that a way may
be found, honorable alike to both
parties, to terminate the
strife between them.
THE PHILIPPINES AND CUBA.
In accepting, by the treaty of Paris,
he just responsibility of our victories
n the Spanish war, the president and
he senate won the undoubted approval
# the American people. No other course
vas possible than to destroy SPANS
overeignty throughout the West Indies
nd in the Philippine islands.
That course created our responsible
before the world, and with the I'M
organized population whom u inter-
had freed from Spain to provide
or the maintenance of law and order,
nd for the establishment of good gov
and for the performance of in
obligations.
Our authority could not be less than
'ur responsibility, and wherever sover-
ign rights were extended 1t became the
Ugh duty Of the government to main
ain its authority, to put down armed
nsurrection and to confer the blessings
# liberty and civilization upon all the
peoples.
The largest measure Of self-govern-
nent consistent with their welfare and
ur duties shall be secured to them by
aw.
To Cuba independence and self-gov-
rnment were assured in the same voice
Y which war was declared, and to the
etter this pledge shall be performed.
AN HONORABLE RECORD.
The Republican party, upon its his
DRY and upon this declaration Of its
principles and policies, confidently in
okes the considerable and approving
Judgment Of the American people.
Mothers indorse it, children like 1t,
Id folks use it. We refer to One Min

hroat and lung troubles. Ireland's
