An Indiana college professor has dis

y Is good augury that in both the

been in control of the organizations.
Doubtless Il is necessary for great
many men to act together ia order 10

who act together are party, at least for
thar occasion, and they may cooperate
constantly enough to give their party e
certain cohesion and individuality. But
It IS the invariable vice of all orvaniza.
tons to drift into the support Of the
organization interests, or to1degenerate
into associations for the advancement OF
the managing men therein, instead Of
idevoting themselves to the causes for
which the party was originally formed.
The only remedy for this is independ.
|ence among the voters. Just so far as
the party leaders can depend upon the
voters to support them regardless Of
their courses and the candidates they put
forward. just SO far they VIII use their
power for their personal advantage. and
for the maintenance in power of the
organization to which they belong,
rather than for the promotion Of the
public policies the parties profess to
pursue.
Ifthe voters. however, retain their in.

The formation of the National Pro-
gressive Republican League ia the fight
between the insurgents and staudpatters
to control the Republican patty is ex-
citing considerable comment. The
President is said to be concorded over the
matter and to regard il as an attempt TO
contest his denomination In Ior2. He is
undecided whetherto appear Indifferent
10 the League o. to prepare to oppose its
activities. The attitude Of Theodore
Roosevelt toward the League IS also
causing much speculation. From his
utterances in the Outlook and on the
FLA form. he is thought TO be entirely in
accord with the principles of the organi
cation. but whether he endorses its re-
ported intention of urging the nouiua-
ton of Senator LaFollette for presi-
dent is decided question The princi-
pies of the League are brief. Ii aims TO
restore government to the hands of the
people; to prevent corrupt use Of money
in elections; to provide for popular cleo
ton of Senators; TO secu.e direct pri-
maries; TO simplify presidential elections;
and to establishthe initiative, referendum
and recall. This enunciation of so-cslIed
Republican principl sounds like poll
tical platform written BY William Jen-
nings Bryan. and demonstrates how
much political lines have been shifted in
recent years.

This question of ship subsidies is being
agitated again before Congress with the
backing Of President Taft. Ii it insisted
that all American business which depends
on ships for the transportation of either
its raw materials or finished products is
paying 10 foreign ship owners tax or
tribute greatly in excess Of tariff duties
and that constant stream, Of revenue
which should remain in this country to
fill the arteries of commerce is drawing
of the other countries. The project IS
encountering the usual opposition.

= Z
Politics, foreign relations and ship sub
sides seem TO be strangely mixed in the
new and great 'American Idea" in which
the leaders of the Republican party are
seeking to interest President Taft and the
people Of the United States This idea is
to build railway through North, Cen
trail and South America. so it win be pos
sible to transport merchandise by rail
from this country as far as the Straits OF
Magellan. If desired. Politics are iu-
volved in it bccause the leaders of the
Republican party felt that their recent
disastrous defeat can be retrieved only by
some great project capable Of firing the
imagination and patriotism Of the Anieri-
can people. Perhaps the, leaders Of the
Republican party seek to follow the ex-
ample Of Bismarck who. when the Ger
man Empire was torn with internal dis
sentions, precipitated the Franco Russian
war in order TO take the eyes of the Ger
man people from their troubles at home
and direct them toward foreign conquest
Foreign relations are involved in the idea
because the apparent failure of the favor
ite plans of President Taft and Secretary
Knox to capture the Far East as an
American market makes it necessary TO
provide another outlet for American
manufactures. Ship subsidies are iuvols
we'd because If American products can be
distributed throughout Central and South
America without ships. the necessity for
q subsidized merchant marine will dis
appear. The vastness of the undertaking
is realized. but the American people are
thenght TO be capable Of carrying II
through.
