Franklin Township High School
Literary,

FRANKLIN township HIgh ScnOOl
Literary.
The second literary meeting of
Franklin Township High School
for winter of 1907-08 convened
Friday evening, October II. The
meeting was called to order by
the president. Minutes of last
meeting were read by the secre-
tary and approved by the Society.
The program opened with song
by the school, after which T. S.
Eikenberry gave an excellent ad-
dress, subject, "The Indebted
ness of Young Americans" prov
ing to all that we are greatly in
debted for many things which
we are not realizing. Some of
the numerous things mentioned
are our Indebtedness to the dis
coverers of our country, to those
who gave their lives in the Rev.
olutiOnary war that they might
win our freedom, to those who
gave their lives in the Civil war
that they might save our coun-
try from division, to the many
inventors who toiled so unceas-
ingly that they might effect some
thing for the benefit of their fel.
lowmen, to the originators and
founders of our schools and school
systems from the earliest dawn
of civilization to the present day,
and to the literary men of Eng
land and America whose contri-
buttons to literature are ours
daily and who spent many weary
hours and sleepless nights that
they might give something to the
world that should ennoble it.
But after all, we are wholly in
debted to our Heavenly Father
for all these innumerable bless
ings from whom cometh all good
things, and quoting from Bry-
ants Thanatopsis, 80 live that
when thy summons come to join
that innumerable caravan that
leads to that mysterious realm,
where each shall take his cham
Der in the silent hall of death.
Go thou not like a quarry slave
scourged to his dungeon, but sus-
tained and soothed by an unfalt-
ering trust, approach thy grave
as one who wraps the drapery
of his couch about him and lies
down to pleasant dreams.

Contract Renewed,

A determined effort was made last
spring to launch Patchogue, n Y, into
municipal waterworks project. A
special election held to act in the mat
ter resulted in renewing the contract
with the company for twenty years.
The village clerk writes that the vote
was largely in favor of this action.

CREENVILLE, OHIO, THURSDAY OCTOBER II. 1907
WASHINGTON LETTER.

In Administration circles the
opinion prevails that there is no
doubt that Secretary Taft's visit
to China will increase the cordial
relations between China and the
United States and add to the
prestige of American trade in the
Orient. The Chinese press and
people seem convinced at last
that this country has no desire to
annex any part of their territory
and that the American people de-
sire China's progress in the de-
velopment of her resources and
in the welfare of her people, and
the cordial sentiment of the Chi
nese government toward the u
nited States is held to be one
more star added to the Roosevelt
armament.
Great interest has been aroused
not only in military, but also in
civilian circles, by the discovery
that army officers are again think
ing seriously of the advisability
of transferring the Coast Artil-
lery from the War to the Navy
department, and have presented
to the Secretary of War argu-
ments which, whether or not
convincing, have at least led him
to suggest to General Murray,
Chief of Artillery, the advisable
ity of drawing a bill providing
for such transfer. While army
officers are very anxious to get
rid of this branch of the service
and would like to see all expen-
ditures for Notifications and
maintenance of the Coast Artil-
lery charged by Congress and by
the public to the navy, the trans
fer cannot be consummated, pre-
sumably, without the sanction of
the Secretary Of the Navy and
the staff officers of that depart
ment and there isEvery indica-
ton that they will receive the
scheme with wholesale condem-
nation. Moreover, the Difficult
ties involved in the preparation
of a bill providing for such trans
fer are far more numerous than
Mr.. Taft appreciated, or else his
suggestion that such a measure
be drafted was merely another
demonstration of the kindly
shrewdness he not infrequently
exhibits in compelling his friends
to prove to themselves that the
schemes they have recommended
to him with the utmost fervor
and enthusiasm are by no means
practicable. While this subject
seems likely to be debated with
great earnestness until the argu-
ments to be presented on each
side of the question have been
exhausted, there is not after all
more expectation that action by
either the President or the Sec
retary of War will result.
The past week the National
Association of Railway Commits
sioners presented arguments for
the necessity of their continued
existence in their annual session
in Washington. They have put
themselves on record as opposed
to the views of the President for
Federal control of railways doing
an interstate business, and have
declared for an extension of the
powers of the Commission instead
of any curtailment thereof.

pressed by Mr.. Wakeman, Sec
retary of the American Protect
i've Tariff League, over the eX-

VOL. 76-EstabIishedi832,
The Two Political Parties.
Are They Dead?
BY LEO.

have given up the ghost within
our brief history. The Federal
party of Washington's day be-
came defunct, or rather changed
its name to Wing. And the lat
ter died and had it's re-birth in
the present Republican party.
Likewise, the old Republican par
ty of Thomas Jefferson's day died
out and was succeeded by the
Democratic party of Andrew
Jackson's time.
And coming down to recent
date we have to chronicle the
death of several political parties;
such as the Populist, the Prohi-
bition, and Silver Republican par
ties, which have gone the way Of
all the earth, leaving no heirs to
inherit. Of course, the Prohibi-
ton party still survives as a So
cial and moral party, but no long
er as political entity. Political
parties do die, and oftentimes to
the benefit of the country.
Editor Henry Watterson of
Louisville, KY, declared the 9TH
er day that the two great politi-
cal parties, Democrat and Repub-
lican, are dead. And he further
remarked that Bryan killed the
Democratic party, and Roosevelt
the Republican party.
This great editor has often
times made mistakes in his polit-
ical essays, and this is one of
them. The Republican party is
quite alive and kicking, giving
no symptoms of early demise.
And therefore it is not true that
Roosevelt killed it.
AS to the Democratic party, it
likewise lives, but without the
vigor of it's former days. 1t
would have been better If it had
died in 1860, or thereabouts, or
changed it's name; but to the
great advantage of the Republi-
can party, the party Democratic
has been continued in name at
least.
W. J. Bryan is accused of kill
ing the Democratic party. We
hardly concur. The party was
somewhat defunct before Bryan
became the head of it. 1t is true,
the vagaries of the peerless
leader" have been a heavy weight
around the neck of the Democ-
racy, rendering defeat at the
polls quite certain; but, in JUS
tice to Bryan, we must say that
he was only the mouth-piece of
the majority in his party. In
1896 Bryan became the head OF
his party by an overwhelming
vote. He was chosen to lead be-
cause they saw in him the incar-
nation of their ideas, and their
only hope of victory at the polls.
He did not inflict himself on the
party, but was chosen by the
party. AS to killing the Demo-
cratic party it is no more correct
statement than if one said the
Democratic party has killed W.
]. Bryan. Neither statement is
true. Probably a anearer approach
to the truth is the statement that
Bryan, as leader of the Democ-
racy, and the Democracy so led,
have been a hurt to each other.
If Bryan had the good fortune TO
head the Republican party, a live
organization, he would have been
our chief magistrate some time
ago. His popularity, eloquence,
and magnetic presence would
have carried him to the front,
provided that he had been a true
Republican.
He had the misfortune to head
