THE COURTS.
THE REPUBLICAN HOME COMING.

iO tSPuottSdh VI
met Saturday at Forest Parl
Highlands, st. Louis in their an
nual homecoming and to discuss
matters of political interest ant
confer on the conditions of the
state. The general opinion seem.
ed to be that by united effort and
good organization work the Re-
publican party can and will carry
the State in 1908. Representative
men from all sections of the State
were there and the general conf
dence shown by the working
Republicans is an assurance to all
that when the ballots are counted
in November of next year the
Republicans of this state will be
in a position to receive the con-
CALCULATIONS of the Republican
party OF the nation. The5orators
of the day|were, Senator VIM.
Warner and Hon. Henry j. Allen
of Ottawa, Kansas. Senator War
ner was the first speaker, his ad-
dress was able and will be a great
help to the party throughout the
state. Among other things he
said: "What excuse can a man
have for being a Democrat? : IN it's
history that party's rule has been
fraught with financial ruin, while
Republican administrations Shave
been marked by years of prosper
ity. The fact is that the Demo-
cratic party is unfit to rule. 1t
has been Directing so long that
the Democrats are now unable to
take the initiative in anything.
Progress is not a portion of the
Bourbon platform. A good driver
does not put the brakes on his
wagon while the horses r climb
ing up hill. The record of the
Republican party speaks for itself.
1t is one stretch of prosperity.
There is work for. every one that
wants it.
Concerning the tariff, I would
say in the words of MI. Taft in his
Columbus speech, that the present
business stability of the country
depends on a protective tariff, and
free trade would ruin the nation
The Republican party has never
held that the tariff schedulessare
sacred or inviolate. They should
be changed as the conditions in
the commercial world change. Tit
Democratic party has no definite
tariff policy. Any of it's plan
would cripple American industry
and as long as there is prosperit!
in the country and honest industr.
the Democratic party will not &c
into power until Gabriel blow
his political horn. The last Re
publican Congress enacted NOR
laws for the good of the peopl
than any other previous assembly
The laws that were passed Nv
needed and let me state here, the
there is no one in the countr
above the law, nor any n SO 10
that he will not be defended b
the arm of Justice"
Mr.. Allen, who was fttingly II
troduoed rs "the brilliant youn
orator from Kansas" followed tt
sen ator with an eloquent address
After talking in general lines an
incidentally giving Sec'y. Taft
boom q boost, he said: "Comir
down to politics, let us for a fe
minutes see what the Republican
and Democrats have done for Il
country. Let US take the two rel
resentatives of the parties al
discuss them-Bryan and Roos
velt. The only resemblance b
tween the two is that Bryan is
honest, clean man but there 81
resemblance ends. Bryan is III
q Jaybird that awakens up in Il
morning with his chatter; Pre-
Roosevelt an eagle that flies
straight line. Bryan has be-
talking for a number of years I
one-hslf the gate receipts: Roos
velt does not talk, he acts. Sor
patriots have called Bryan t
David of the Democratic mart
