III-THE CONSTRUCTIVE PARTY
In the evolution by which party gov.
ernment has become the extra-consti.
tutional method of securing RESPONSE
billty to the people, the Republican
Party has become their traditional rep
resentative and the Democratic Party
the organized aspiration Of individuals
for power without responsibility. Fair
" tried. from 1898 to 1895. the two
Democratic Houses and the Democratic
President were a will team" and
helpless driver. Democracy agitates
local differences, Repuhlicanism or
ganizes the National idea. In 1863 the
people were committed TO the cause Of
human liberty; the Gea of Liberty
and Union" expanded fer the first tims
INTO the reality Of the American ma
tion.
In 1879 money was comitted 10 n
specie basis; specie was at once until
1898, no longer oought. and government
bonds went to a premium at the re.
duced rate of interest. In 1896 busi-
ness men were again committed TO con.
ndence; before 2 single statute was
enacted prosperity set IN and in ten
years bank deposits almost trebled-a
permanent gain which .hc recent pane.

ness was committed - fair methods.

Party fit to Govern"
Iv.-THE PARTY or STATESMEN
The party of state1nanship.t It las
been the training school Of statesmen.
Its policies have been forged in the
heat of public discussion, tempered in
the deliberation and shaped in the con.

welfare Dominating its members
through principles. it assures unity in
Government; its staurchest partisans
have made the greatest contributions
to National progress. The roster Of
its leaders is the national roll of honol

V.-TAFT AND SHERMAN CON-
STRUCTIVE CANDIDATES.
Republicanism stands to-day for pro
gressive policies in safe hands. BY
solving the constructive problems OF
world power in the last two adminis-
trations. William II. Taft taught tho
world our capacity and us his own. In
all constructive legislation for twenty
years James S. Sherman has been a
leader. In the records or the Republi-
can candidates as well as I'm the plat

tion's progress and the reliance Of the
future.
A Democratic President or a Demo-
cratic House would turn back those

can Senate could not prevent Under

Congress the great progress Of the

Fear Coal Congestion.

That me r.D-r.a1. --..-. IL conges-
tion this Fall when shippers make an
effort TO supply the demands for coal
in the Northwest is shown by the fact
that a concentrated effort has been
made on the part of the coal roads
to secure for the dealers a longer term
Of credit According to officials of
the Pennsylvania this effort has not
met with much success. officials Of the
railroads handling large quantities Of
coal are greatly worried over the sit

perience what tardiness on the part
Of the dealers means.

one peach We watched that peach all
spring and all summer. IL developed al an
alarming rate. The boy would 90 out aud
look at It every morning TO see n it was
ripe and he got me interested IN IT. We
decided that we would go halves when IL
was ripe. It had been putting on its
peachy and creamy tints for tive weeks
or more and yesterday we came 70 tho
conclusion It was about time to pick Il.
However, we thought we would give Il
another day
This morning when the youngster went
into the yard he found the peach had
fallen off the tree. and had been impaied
on a nail on the top OF the fence II was
