Party Of Definite Aims.

The Republican party, since its be-
ginning more than fifty years ago, has
never hesitated to assume the re-
sponsibility for new legislation within
the constitutional limits. when such
legislation has been needful to make
the government more useful to the
people. The party always submits a
definite program-shows just what 1t
proposes to do. It does not deal in
glittering generalities, or in general
denunciation. The president believes
that the Republican party deserves the
confidence OF the country and that 1t
will be given a vote Of confidence.

NOTHING BUT CAMPAIGN CRY
Efforts Of Democratic Leaders to
Blame Tariff for High Cost Of
Living Will Be Futile.

Recently Senator Gore of Oklahoma
IN was the cause of high cost of liv-
ing. and that in order to meet the
added increase he is compelled to go
on the lecture platform. This state
ment is taken up by his party follow
ers and they reassert the statement
and the howl OF the discontented re-
yerberates across the country like the
howl OF the coyote on the plains. This
fellow Gore did not point out one
single item that is making living high
er through the tariff. but, like the
others of his party, makes the state
ment and lets it go at that
We challenge any one to show
wherein the tariff has increased the
prices on the things that go into the
ordinary living expenses Of a family.
Living high is quite another thing.
and here is where all the complaints
against the tariff should be switched,
and not make the tariff issue the goat
for all the increases that have been
put on by the labor unions. the jobbers
and the retail dealers. At no time
have wages been so high in this coun-
try as now. and union labor must be
given the credit for not only getting
tremendous increases in wages. but at
the same time In securing shorter
hours of labor, all Of which counts
nightly In the production OF the
things we consume. And the wage
earners have less cause for kicking
against the tariff than any other class.
