THE TEST OF REPUBLICANISM.

Echoes from Speaker Cannon's re-
cent invasion of Kansas in which he
sought to aid the candidacy of those
congressman who stood by him in the
rules fight are still being heard. The
concensus of opinion is that he did
the party serious injury. The erect
of his denunciations of his opponents
has been to bring into clearer recog-
milton the part which progressive re-
publicans took in enacting into law
the legislative programme of Presl-
dent Taft. 1t has also made clear
that the better element of the repub-
lican party recognize that perma-
nent reform has been made in the
methods of procedure in the house
of representatives.
1t is noteworthy that the New York
Tribune, recognized as the official or
gan Of President Taft among the met
ropolitan papers has no harsh words
for insurgency. 1t says:
1T is all very well for Mr.. Cannon
TO talk about the necessity of main
tanning party organization in the
House and of making effective there
the will of a responsible majority.

bitter discussion. This will be the
Maine. the great sea fighter that was
blown up and sunk just before the
Spanish American war. 1t is expected
that the condition of the wreck will
cast new light on the facts which the
court of inquiry failed to reveal. al
though that body did its work shortly
after the disaster. turning in unani-
nous report that 1.-The ship was de-
stroyed by the explosion Of a subma-
rine mine"
However. it has never been decided
whether the explosion which sent her
to the bottom occurred from the out
side or inside, and this most impor
tant fact should now come to light
The Spaniards always claimed that it
was an explosion from within the
Maine that caused the disaster and
that they were not responsible for it,
but the American officers and the Gu,
bans and indeed the whole American
nation believed and still believe that
the explosion occurred from the out
side and was the work Of either q
floating mine or the result Of plot
That the Maine should be raised so
that forever could be settled the ques-
ton whether she was sunk by out
side agencies on the evening of Feb.

insistently in the last few years. But

When the state convention closes
this week, the senatorial question will
be taken out of the hands of pOliti-
clans and placed in the hands of the
people where it rightfully belongs.
They will settle it satisfactorily on
the 18th of September. If county
conventions all over the state had at
tended to their own business and con-
fined their deliberations to the pur-
pose for which they were legally call
ed, there would have been no occa-
sion for petty squabbles. No man
ever got into trouble by attending to
his own business and the state con-
vention, when it meets, will have no
difficulties if it attends strictly to it's
own business. It's business is high
ly important one-no less important
than the duty of selecting the most
high minded and able jurists which
the state possesses for membership
on the supreme bench. 1t is to be
hoped that it will see fit to attend
strictly to it's own business.

THE COUNTY REPUBLICAN CON.
VENTION.

What is the significance of the re-
suit of the republican county conven-
ton held in Wenatchee SATURDAY?
Here is a county heralded all over
the state as a Burke stronghold. 1t
was conceded to be even by many
ardent insurgents. Back of Burke's
campaign in this county and especial
ly in Wenatchee were some of the
most influential and best men in this
section of the state.
Combined with this was the fact
that a special effort was made over
the county to carry the county con-
vention for Burke or west side can
Gidate.
Yet in spite of all this the PROCESS
i've element of the republican party
were in absolute control throughout
the convention. No united effort was
made Dy the progressives over the
county to carry the convention. Not
one dollar of money was put into
the county for political purposes in
favor Of the insurgents. 1t was not
expected at the outset that anything
would be done at the convention by
the progressives, with the exception
Of making 4 Ugh to keep the sena-
torial question cut of the convention,
which was done.
1t seems 10 he very significant of
something wien county recognized
as friendly 20 Judge Burke should
turn out to be so strongly insurgent.
Burke has many personal friends
mere He has Iaige property inte%
eted in both business properties and
fruit lands. 1t cannot be taken as
slap at Burke or any of his friends
because those friends include many
of the very best citizens in the COM
munity
There can be no question that
great issue of impending Importance
has taken hold on the people.
1t means further that a number Of
men calling themselves good republl-
cans haven't seen the great sweep OF
progressive republicanism coming like
a tidal wave over the whole country.
1t is fact that some of the strong
est fighting standpatters on the floor
of the convention haven't sufficiently
studied this great question; some
haven't read the magazines for fiVe
years. They've been too busy max
ing money perhaps.
The principal significance OF the
whole convention is that you might
just as we'll try to dam up the ocean
as to stop the spread of insurgency.
The people generally believe the
issue is a great moral one.

that any new facts would be disclosed
in doing so has been disputed in some
quarters
In securing legislation to bring
about this work much credit goes to
Representative William Sulzer Of New
York. who for ten years urged the
measure on the floor of the house,
The veterans of two wars furnished
Mr.. Sulzer material for his fight.
These prime movers were Alfred King
of Arlington. n. j., who saw service
I'm the civil war, and Maurice Sim
mons of New York. commander OF
the New York department Of United
Spanish War Veterans.
This task of raising what is left of
the Maine presents one of the most
difficult problems engineers. divers
and expert wreckers have ever had
to face. 1t is not merely question
of getting rid of the vessel. Dynamite
would quickly do that. The Maine Is
a sepulcher still OF sixty-three of the
heroic dead who went down in her.
and it is hoped to secure their remains
and bury them at Arlington. Then.
too, the wreck must be raised so that
the real cause Of the disaster may be
determined From an engineering
standpoint the difficulty Of the feat
lies in the fact that the hull Of the
wrecked vessel is firmly imbedded In
the eighteen feet of muddy ooze which
covers the coral reef forming the bed
of Havana harbOr. Thirty-one feet OF
water cover this mud. so that the keel
of the Maine lies about fifty feet be-
low the surface.
Another big handicap the engineers
must face is the condition of the bot
tom of the harbOr. which. having no
cleansing tide. merely rise and fall.

on the side of the rim. through which
the water comes in and runs out. Be
cause of this the bottom is a mass of
mud and refuse Of the city. emptied
there to a great extent and in which
billions of deadly germs exist. The
water being black and dirty. the divers

charge Of the work Of raising the
Maine is Colonel william n. Bixby.

heaven without having his nature
changed he would be none the better
for being there. and then. by way Of
Illustration. said that were a thief to
get in among the gIorified he would
remain thief still and he would go

But. my dear young friend" asked

that the angels haven't any pockets"

obstruct republican policies, or to de-
feat legislation promised in the re-
publican national platform, they
could be effectively attacked as party
wreckers But the record of the last
session of congress proves that they
gave as hearty support to the republ-
can legislative program outlined by
President Taft as was given to it by
the Cannon regulars.
Republican candidates for con-
gress in Kansas and elsewhere will
have to stand for reelection on the
work of the last session. 1t will help
no republican nominee, either at a
primary or before the voters general
ly, to insist that the remarkable out
put of legislation subsequent to the
diminution of the speakers powers
was due to a lawlcss and hybrid ma
iority which did not deserve the name
of republican. The Kansas repre-

When one group of men attempt
to question the republicanism of an
other group of men in face of the Of
fetal records of congress, it either
betrays gross ignorance of the pro-
ceedings of the recent session of con-

on the ignoranca of the average voter.
But thanks to the critical analysis
and the clear and fearless and force
ible statement of facts made by such
able and high minded men as Dolli-
yer and Beveridge and Bristow and
Cummins, the average voter today
knows what Aldrichism and Cannon
