THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The republican national platform is
one Of the longest documents of the
kind ever promulgated. 1t is the
strongest arrangement of the deflci-
encies of the democratic party and
the most convincing summary Of re-
publican virtues ever adopted by q ma
tional convention. It is composite
retrospection and declaration. The
achievements of the nation have been
the achievements of the republican
party for history records the fact, in
delible in the memory of those who
have lived four score years less ten,
that all great depressions, all periods
of hard times, empty dinner pals and
empty pockets have been caused by
the temporary abandonment Of the
principles of the republican party and
the eras of good times, good feeling
and individual and national advance
menu have come ais the result OF the
wise administrations OF republican
ism. o. ;2 T.. *+y&. jjgf
Under the Chicago platform OF 1904
and the leadership OF that patriotic
American statesman, Theodore Roose-
welt. the republicans Of the nation
look to Overwhelming success at the
November election. Not without
work, however, for democracy never
dies. It Is a party Of sophdktries, Of
platitudes, Of theories, Of glittering
generalBtdes, always appealing to, the
prejudices Of the indolent and ignor-
amt, by the promising OF absurddties

ment OF electoral voters in the 'tsolid-
SOUTH" it necessitates ON the part of
the republican the most active work,
the most perfect organization at all
times to accomplish It's defeat and
prevent disaster to the nation. =

the two greatest bodies of water on the
earth. To do this hefconceived the idea OF
building a canal from the Atlantic to the
Pacific on the IsthmHs of Panama. Much
of this work has been accomplished, and
the United States has now undertaken to
complete it. This will do much to push for
ward the wheels of progress in the new re-
public. It has already had its influence in
many ways. Rents of all kinds have gone
up, and those who hold little land want a
fortune for 1t. However, buildings for the
officials and help will be constructed In the
canal zone. which will relieve the conges-
ton somewhat.
"As is well known. the canal will be con-
structed through what Is known as the
canal zone. This consists of all the terri
tory for five miles on each side of the canal,
excepting the cities of Panama and Colon
at the ends.
''The length of the canal will be forty
seven miles, and 1t is expected to cost not
less In round numbers, than 500, COO 600.
Should 1t be sea-level canal, the cost
will perhaps be fourth more. The con-
struction of this great waterway will al
most reyolutionize the commercial world.
1t will be especially beneficial to the United
States. as it will place the eastern and
western coasts in closer touch.
"A large part of the work will be done
by improved machinery, the latest patterns
being used. It is probable that not more

Conditions Injurious to Progress.
THE constant revolutions which have oc-
Cured in this country have done more, per-
haps than all else to hinder the progress
of commerce. From the time when the
famous buccaneer, Morgan, looted and de-
stroyed the old city of Panama to the pres
ent these have been periodical Many of
them have been bloody, and all of them
have been bitter.
THE revolution which ended year and a
half ago extended over period of more
than three years. The forces alternately
had possession of every part OF the republic
except the city of Panama, and the conse-
quence was that at the end of the struggle
the country was in a complete state of
bankruptcy.
During the past duties have been placed
alike on the necessaries of life and the
luxuries. The poor man in his humble hut
has been compelled to pay the same duty

used and even many not produced here,

Outlook For FOrmOsa,

Japan's first experience in colonial
administration is greatly to her credit,
says the New York Journal. Formosa
bristles with problems. but they are
being handled with Judgment and skill.
The interior is peopled with head
hunting savages. They are apparent
ly intractable and are continually har-
assing workers on tea plantations and
in the camphor camps. The prisons are
models of industry and cleanliness;
fine hospitals, where advanced scien-
tific work is going on, have been es-
tablished in various centers; railroads
are being constructed. Keeling is
fortified, and its fine harbor is being
deepened. and for the first time in her
turbulent career Formosa seems to
have a quiet and prosperous future
before her.

Korean Patriotism,

Homer B. Hurlbert in his Korea,
the Bone of Contention" in the May
Century says: The Koreans have been
called an unpatriotic people. This may
be true if patriotism means a passion
ate desire for the welfare of ones
country, but if consuming desire for
the preservation of national identity is
patriotism then the Koreans are in
deed patriotic. The one thing they
fear is national extinction, whether
such extinction would mean better gov
ernment or not, They would rather
live without equitable government,
without sanitation, without education,
without any Of the concomtants of
civilization, if with these they must
also accept foreign domination.
