MANDATE IS CLEAR
TRUE MEANING OF THE REPUB.
LIcAN VICTORY.
People Have Expressed Themselves in
Favor of the Policies of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, and the
Party Must Obey.

The Republicans will have a work
ing majority of 40 or more in the lower
house of the Sixty-first congress.
There is a loss of Is or 25 in compari-
son with present conditions. Some of
those who have not been returned
have been opponents of the presidents
policies. Others who have been criti-
cised for their stand have been re-
elected. A more careful examination
of the completed returns is needed be-
fore judgment can he rendered in in
dividual cases.
Nevertheless, there is no doubt that
the voice of the people the country
over has been loud in Endorsement of
the principles and ideals for which the
present administration has stood. The
decision at the polls may be taken as
mandate to congress to provide for
the carrying out of the spirit and the
letter of these policies. The success
full candidate for the presidency was
quick to recognize the meaning of the
popular vote. 1T is your administra-
tion that this victory affirms" was the
lSSDOiloC W lliS tcil9i etIulhtOIS IlSS-
sage from the White House The mem
bers of the majority party in the new
house should be equally prompt in
their appreciation of the same truth,
no matter how they may nave lined
up in past discussions.
The great triumph of Mr.. Taft would
have been sadly marred had the peo-
pie in their congressional districts,
tied his hands by the election of a
Democratic house That they have
returned a substantial Republican ma
jority is a clear expression of their
desire that the president they have
elected shall have the hearty support
of congress in carrying forward the
measures already initiated and in put
ting into execution the policies favored
by him and to which the party has
pledged itself in its platform of prin-
ciples.
With president, senate and house in
accord the way is open for the realiza-
tion of the expressed desires of the
people. They have indicated their ap-
proval of the Republican party. That
their faith and trust have not been
misplaced will be shown in coming
months, as one after another of the
great problems now in the public mind
are rightly solved.-Chicago Tribune

PARTY BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
Republicans Have Longest Continuous
Power in Country's History.

When the Republicans carried the
country in the recent election they
broke all the records in length of con-
tinuous sway in both branches of con-
gress simultaneously, says Leslie's
Weekly. In the Jefferson Madison
Monroe era the Democrats held un-
broken control of all branches of the
government for over a quarter of a
century, but for a large part of that
time theirs was the only party in the
country. The Hartford convention of
1914, with its imagined reasonable de-
signs, killed the federalist party, and
the Democrats had the field to them
selves until the rise of the National
Republicans in John Quincy Adams
administration and the advent of the
Wings in 1884, in Jackson's second
term.
In the more than three-quarters of a
century which has passed since two
big parties have been struggling con-
stantly for the supremacy, IA years
has been the longest time which any
party has held power without inter-
ruption in both senate and house at
the same time. The Republicans did
this in the civil war and reconstruc-
ton period
Beginning with the entrance of Lin
coin into office in 1861, the Republi-
cans held control of both branches of
congress continuously until 1875, when
the Democratic house of representa-
tiyes, elected in 1874, in the middle of
Grants second term, went into power.
Beginning with the election of 1894,
in the second half of Cleveland's sec
ond term, the Republicans have con-
trolled both branches of congress to
the present day, or IA years.
The present stretch of Republican
sway is far more notable than the
earlier one was. During large part
of the time between 1861 and 1875
many states in the Democratic quar-
ed in congress and the Democrats of
! the rest of the nation were to large
| degree demoralized and discredited.
In the present period, on the other
| hand the Democratic party, while
often discordant, has had the solid
south behind it and has been active
and aggressive everywhere.
The Republican victory in 1908
means only 16 years of unbroken sway
in the presidency, as compared with
"a years in the Jefferson-Monroe pc
| riod and also "a in the Lincoln-ArthuT
area; but the 16 years of uninterrupt-
| ed control which it gives the Repub-
| licans in both branches of the national
legislature is unparalleled in our an.
| nails.

Bryan Has Been Answered.

Mr.. Bryan appealed to the people,
and he has received his answer. He
had not a single sound proposition
upon which to stand, and he has done
more than any other one individual
to make the people see the fact. If
Mr., Bryan represented policies con
cerning which there was a divergence
of view between the parties, there
would be less ground to read the yer.
dict of the people against him. But
he represented views that We're not di.
vergent, but absolutely opposed to the
views of his adversaries, to the expe.
rience of the country ana to the iudg
ment of sound Thinkers.

TELLS HOW He GOT A START
]. D. ROCKEFELLER TELLS ABOUT
EARLY DAYS OF STANDARD OIL.
He Testifies In the Suit Brought
Against the Standard by the
Government.

New York City.-Relating his story
with the air of a gentleman en-
gaging host of friends with incidents
of days long past John d. Rockefeller,
president of the Standard Oil Co.,
though for nearly ten years retired
from the active cares of company di-
rection, for over two hours on We'd
nesday reviewed the history of the
early oil trade and the development
of the first companies that later grew
into the present so-called oil trust.
Mr.. Rockefeller was a witness for the
defense in the suit to dissolve the
Standard which is being prosecuted
by the United States government, and
his appearance at the hearings before
ex-Judge Franklin Ferris, the referee,
brought large crowd to the customs
building.
The head of the oil combine was
surrounded by an imposing circle of
counsel and when he began his testi-
mony he gazed complacently upon a
swarm of newspaper men behind
whom pressed close throng of people
that filled the room. Mr.. Rockefeller
appeared at complete ease and when
John G. Milburn, of counsel for the
Standard, propounded his first ques-
ton, the witness spoke out in full
tones as if he desired the most distant
spectator to hear.
Then in a manner that indicated
pleasure at what he was about to tell,
Mr.. Rockefeller spoke of his start in
the oil business and how under ad-
verse conditions that business grew to
the proportions of the Standard Oil
Company of Ohio, with its capitaliza-
ton of $1,000,0O0 Mr.. Rockefeller's
eyes sparkled in reflection on that
early financial organization and speak
ing of its million dollar capitalization
with almost boyish enthusiasm, he
said:
at seemed very large to us, who
began with only $4,000 in 1862"
During brief recess Mr.. Rockefel.
Ter talked to the reporters on the
Standards growth, saying:
This testimony here to-day brings
back to my mind SO clearly early days
In Cleveland, where we were all
friends and neighbors together How
well remember that day in Cleveland
when I went into the bank of T. P.
Handy, who afterward became one of
my dearest friends. l wanted to bor-
row money, but l didn't have any col
lateral nor any one to indorse my
note. l told him what I wanted to do
with it and then he asked me how
much wanted. I need $4,000, I said,
and I got it. To that loan l attribute
whatever success 1 have had in life
since"

Republican Victory Means Much.

The victory is the greater for Re
publican principles and for Mr. Taft
because it was won in the face of a
profound decentralization of organized
Republicanism in several great states.
1t shows the power of recuperation
that the Republican party possesses
when compelled to face a real emer-
gency. The victory was won against
an opposition, united and confident,
as it has not been in three years pre-.
ceding national contests.
The fact that it was so won, and
won in spite of adverse conditions af.
fecting the welfare of millions OF
voters for which the Republican
party could not deny a large meas.

one hand that historic Republicanism
still justly has the public confidence,
and on the other that the American
people are not ready to yield to in.

how plausible and no matter by which

Albany, ~ Y.-Prompt measures
to fight a threatened epidemic in
this state of foot and mouth
disease are being taken by the state
department of agriculture following
the receipt of reports that the disease
had obtained footing at II points in
Erie and Niagara counties.
1t is supposed the disease was
brought to this state through the Buff
falo stock yards.
1t is thought that the poisons
thrown off by afflicted animals have
been transmitted to other healthy
beasts through barnyard birds, prin-
cipally sparrows, and Deputy Commits
sioner of Agriculture Flanders on
Thursday asked the state forest, fish
and game department if a permit to
poison sparrows in infected territory
could be secured. He was told that
if it could be demonstrated with 'rea-
sonable certainty that sparrows were
agents of transmission of the disease,
the fish and game protectors would
not interfere in a warfare against
them.
The outbreak of the disease in Penn
sylvania seems of a grave nature. It's
first appearance was about week ago
in the counties of Columbia, Montour,
Northumberland and Union, and on
November II Secretary Wilson placed
a rigid quarantine over those counties.
DR.. Leonard Pearson, state veterina-
rian of Pennsylvania, worked with
force OF assistants to prevent spread
of the disease, but they We're unable
