THE Republican party celebrated -
fftieth anniversary "under the Oaks at
Jackson last week, a period of almost
continuous control of the destinies of
America and one during which the watch
words have been progress and action.
No nation in the history of the world has
developed as has the United States dur
ing this epoch making half-century. The
nation has forced its way to the front
from a scarcely conceded second rate
power to that of leader of the world in
matters OF material development and
power, while her influence for civiliza-
ton and for good is now acknowledged
as pre-cminent. OF course, America
would have progressed under any circum-
stances and under the administration of
any party. bnt it is a significant fact that
the short periods during this time Of what
seemed almost like retrogression occurred
during Democratic control of government
Leaving out the questions of politica
economy the tariff issue, the none,
question etc, the forward and iniuativ
policy of the Republican party has bee
one iu which its members may well tax
great pride.
