Omaha daily bee., 1911-07-26

the. democratic press and the democratic
party have been hanging, as II were,
medals of encomium upon the breasts of
those of our party, who happened to differ
upon some matters OF mere detail with the
president of the United States, only to
thereafter turn their batteries upon the
ones upon whom they had previously
poured forth their enoomiums and praise.
HypOcrisy of Democrats.
When Oummlns anu La. b'oiette an
nounced their opposition to the Canadian
reciprocity treaty, the democratic party
and its press, transferred their batteries
from enconiums and praise into denunci-
alton and ridicule of them both. They then
charged that Cummins had abandoned the
cause of the common people, that La Fol-
lette was desirous of protecting the print
paper and pulp manufacturers of Wis.,
consln, and then to demonstrate their
further Inconsistency the democratic party
voted in favor or Canadian reciprocity.
In favor OF the policy OF Taft, the. very
man. whom they had previously denounced
and tried to undermine and destroy in the
estimation of his fellow countrymen.- Sun
days WorldHerald said that with I'M
rurfied serenity, the senate sat upon La
Toilette, u TO 10 and 60 TO 10, and that then
La Toilette offered q strange and appar-
emily propitiatory amendment making wood
pulp anu print paper free with all the
world, but the time was not ripe for these
tender concessions, and 1t won only eleven
votes"
linus it is, that democracy rejoiees that
he whom they formerly eulogized had been
sat upon by the senate. and the strange
part OF 1t is that our democratic senator
nom Nebraska voted with our republican
senator in support Of Canadian reciprocity
1t would seem that our republican,. SEN
ator had captured a new republican 10

Triumph of ReciproSit .s~---ss'
During the tmsSrhat III 81 these strange
occurrences were Transporting at Washing
ton, over the broad acres of Nebraska the
corn tasses were waving, the grains of
corn were forming and the corn husks
were expanding as II in preparation. to
enter the markets OF Canada, where the
shortness Of the season has prevented the
raising of ola King Corn, and convinced
the people Of that country of the real and
substantial greatness of Nebraska the land
of sunshine and of corn. My fellow re-
publicans, l for one, have not lost my
interest in the republican party because
OF Canadian reciprocity. This is not the
time to be carried Off our feet by momen-
lary IDEAS, nor is 1t the time to be carried
from our feet by the reading Of articles
which nave been hastily published by
some editor to create a sensation. 1t is
not the time for hasty Judgment. 1t is
the time to think calmly and reason So
berry.
THE republican party must solve the
relations that are to exist between the ma
tons OF the western hemisphere. There
is no one else to do it, though they may
help. International questions are big
questions and call for statesmahship as
broad as are the interests In this great
nation. The statesmanshiU of our country
In its relations with other nations OF The
world should never be measured by the
interests of a precinct, q city, a state or
a section, but by the interests of the ma
ton as a whole. the union one and in
separable.
Arbitration and Peace.
"Fot centuries the nations OF the world
have looked at their neighbors through
the eyes OF warriors. Armies and navies
have been the only arbiters Of peace.
Finally, in these early years Of the TWEEN
tieth century, the land of the Stars and
| Stripes, through its president, William H.
Taft has inaugurated among the nations
Of the world. a worldwide arbitration
treaty for peace. England and France
are about ready to sign It. Germany and
Sweden are studying 1t. Japan has asked
advice so that 1t can determine whether
it win become a party to the farreachlns
compact.
1t may be that before many moons have
passed the United States. through the eff
forts of its president. VIII have hound the
civilized world together with chains OF
universal peace. Should that be accom-.
plished, the pages of history will bs
searched in vain to find the name OF any
man, be he ruler or otherwise, who will
have accomplished so much from the hu,
manitarian standpoint for the good of thu
world, and for the brotherhood of man a
viii have been accomplished BY the presi.
dent of the United States. a member OF
the republican party.
Fellow Republicans of Nebraska: Lei
us resolve once again TO approach the f,f
ture with malice toward none, but win
charity for all. and with patriotic motiv,
renew our allegiance and devotion TO tn,
cause OF our country through the instru
mentality of the grand old republican
party"
