WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS
ADOPT SPLENDID PLATFORM

"The glorious achievements of the re-
publican party during the administration
of the late lamented President Mckinley
has been duplicated and emphasized by
his iilustrious successor, who has faith
fully adhered to his policies and cour
ageopsly carried them into effect. The
odore Roosevelt has borne the tremen-
dous responsibilities of his great Office
upon the high level of national duty and
national honor. His administration has
been thoroughly representative and trulv
American. The laws have been fearless
" and impartially enforced as they were
enacted by congress. Evil doors have
been driven from the public service:
combinations in restraint of trade and
commerce have been brought to the bar
Of Justice. His administration has
brought unparalleled prosperity; main
tanned the public honor, fostered indus
try, stimulated enterprise, extended
American commerce, strengthened
hfltIlCdH iunutICc, tAdltcu
citizenship and brought prosperity alike
to capital and to labor. We therefore ia
vor the nomination of Theodore Roose-
welt and hereby instruct the delegates
chosen by this convention to support his
candidacy.
Tariff and Reciprocity.
eve reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of protective tariff and de-
mand that whenever contingencies of
trade or commerce shall require a re-
vision of existing schedules such re-
vision shall be made by the friends of
the system rather than by its ancient
enemies. We favor reciprocity in non
competitive products and oppose any
application of that principle which con-
templates the removal of the existing
duty on coal and lumber.

commerce, we favor more liberal appro-
priations for the improvement of rivers
and harbors, and direct our delegates to

better schools. The thing needed now
is organized work by the teachers to eff
feet the reforms outlined. In 1896 the
Atlantic Monthly said editorially:
The thing todO is to make the pro-
fession of teaching one of greater digni-
ty and greater reward. Teaching is
clearly not held 10 as high honor as it
ought to be. 1t is doubtful, indeed if
the public schools can reach adequate
efficiency until in every community the
teachers status is as high as that of the

to this esteem two things are necessary:
q 10 give efficient teachers security in
their positions and freedom to do their
best work. q 70 pay them salaries
large enough to make the profession at
tractiye to the very ablest men and
women, not as makeshift, but as life
