AID FIREMEN
Practically Assure $500
Appropriation for Parade.

Added impetus was given the
movement for the Active Firemen's
parade last night when the members
of the Board of Aldermen in COM
mittee session practically assured
the soliciting delegation that the city
would appropriate 81 1890 for the big
event of Thursday, October "a. This
news was impaired to the general
parade committee later in the even
ing at the headquarters of Lincoln
Engine Company by Chief Frank
Comings and Frank Rhoades, who
were assigned to appear before the
council.
After the announcement hat the
council would back them in the pa
rade matter it was decided to con
duet a whirlwind campaign for the
idea of having at least sixty compan-
les in line. The committee, after
raising of funds so as to carry out the
half an hours talk decided to con
duet their campaign in a similar
manner to that of the Y. M. c. A.
and to this purpose the large clock
which registered the amounts OF sub
scriptions will be asked for by the
general parade committee.
1t is the intention to place the
clock in a conspicuous place and as
the amounts are handed in to indi-
cate the numbers by the hands of the
timepiece. The house to house can
vass is being worked and large sums
have been promised. Several of the
factories have assured the firemen
that they will support the undertake
ing by giving large sums to adYer-
tise Perth AmbOY.
The members of the general ball
committee will meet tonight in the
Lincoln headquarters and elaborate
on some of their original ideas for
the carrying out of the dance.
The session last night was the best,
attended to date and the enthusiasm
manifested by the committee and
the department at large spells success.
One thousand buttons have been re-
ceived and will be given out as the
the celebration.

These floods are national in scope, and
the disasters they produce seriously affect
the general welfare. The states unaided
cannot cope with this giant problem:
hence we believe the federal government
should assume a fair proportion OF the
burden of its control so as to prevent dis
asters from recurring floods.
Republican Accomplishment.
The approaching completion Of the Pa
mama canal, the establishment Of bureau
of mines, the institution of postal savings
banks, the increased provision made in
1912 for the aged and infirm soldiers and
sailors OF the republic and for their wild
ows and the vigorous administration Of
the laws relating to pure food and drugs
all mark the successful progress Of Re-
publican administration and are addition
al evidence of its effectiveness.
We challenge successful criticism of the
sixteen years of Republican adninistra-
ton under Presidents Mckinley. Roose-
Welt and Taft. We heartily reaff1rm the
Endorsement OF President Mckinley con-
tanned in the platform of 1900 and of 1904
and that OF President Roosevelt contained
in the platform Of 1904 and 1908.

President Taft said:
The first utterance of the first Repub-
lican national convention ever assembled
in resolution declared that the mainte-
nance of the principles promulgated In the
declaration of Independence and embod-
led In the federal constitution Is essential
to the preservation OF our Republican in
stitutions." Fifty-six years have not al
tered that truth.
Much Of the contention between disput-
ing schools of American politics has relat-
ed TO means of development Until very
recently there was, never serious question
about the wisdom OF representative democ-
racy. because surprising results i'm human
advancement made II unassailable.
You've heard much lately about the peo-
pies rule The peoples rule is no new
discovery to a sovereign American people.
Nor Is demagogic employment OF the term
new to the worlds hearing. Through such
demagogic employment centuries ago re-
publics tottered and fell and republican
Liberties were lost in the sway OF empires
In their stead. Human rights and their de-
fence are as old as civilization; but more
important to us, the founders wrote the
right Of the people to rule into the consti-
tuition.
People Have Always Ruled.
The American people literally began to
rule in 1776 and there has not been and
never will be any suspension Of that
power.
The same people. a plain people and an
honest people. ruled In the awakening of
the American conscience that marks a
new era In our national life. They are
ruling today shielded by the laws SUI
premacy and safeguarded by understand
ing. And they are ruling with unwaver-
ing faith and increased confidence in that
fine embodiment of honesty, that fearless
executor of the law, that inspiring per
sonification of courage, that matchess
exemplar Of justice, that glorious apostle
OF peace and amity. William Howard
Taft.
Noting his stalwart, greatness in the
stress of passing events I believe him the
finest example Of lofty patience since the
immortal Lincoln bore the scourge OF
vengeful tones without a murmur.
Sirs have heard men arrogate to
themselves the title of Progressive Re-
publicans." seemingly forgetting that
progression is the first essential to Re-
publican Fellowship.

decisions ruled the convention. The

Opposition Without Reason.
Opposition to his denomination is az
nearly without precedent as It is without

born OF expediency, but triumphant Re-

While we have gone on to successive VIC

principles above personality and aims
above animosity, we have been so commit
ted to abiding principles that every utter
ance OF fifty years is in consonance with
