great promoter of trade known as swift
and regular transportation.
The complement of this transportation
is IA steady and reliable flow of freight.
Here irrigation comes into play. lrri-
alton insures regular crops and there
fore II fixed volume of freight; even as
q reliable transportation inSures regular
trade. These phases of national life are
part and parcel of the evolutionary pro
Tess that has made the United States the
trade leader Of the world. The activi-
ties of the country are rising to the new
economic standard. He who fails to see
this should seek a new perspective.
TO the ordinary man the term .Asiatic
trade lacks special significance. He
knows it relates to trade with Asia,
and that we are constantly exporting to
and importing from Asia. He does not
realize that all the leading countries of
the earth are competing for the trade of
several hundred million Asiatics, and that
this trade is really the greatest CONNER

Work for Republican Party.
When we come to contemplate the
whole field of natural western re-
sources. available for food. for industry
and for commerce, when we attempt to
grasp in one act of thought the length
and breadth and depth of the riches with
which Providence has loaded this sec
ton; when we try TO realize how every
| possible want, every material aspiration
of man can be beautifully provided for;
when We consider how measureless are
the values which will spring into being
mt the touch Of modern industry, and
| how these values. when once created,
are solid and real and become iacOrpO-
rated into the enduring structure OF hui
man society, we may begin to cs-
innate properly the measure OF re
sponsibilty which rests upon this ma
ton and its chosen rulers. This is not
merely to preserve unframed the price
| less boom of civil liberty which leaves
| the individual citizen free to do his share
in work of development, but to adopt
such measures as will prevent the waste
of natural resources, clear the way OF
progress and promote the triumph of civ
| ilization. The record of the Republican
party shows it to be Il party of progress.
