son of cost and prospective benefits.
Alaska.
We favor a liberal policy toward
Alaska to promote the development Of
the great resources Of that district
with such safeguards as will prevent
waste and monopoly.
We favor the opening CT the coal
lands to development through a law
leasing the lands on such terms as
will invite development and provide
fuel for the navy and the commerce
on the Paciflc ocean, while retaining
title in the United States to prevent
monopoly.
Philippine Policy.
The Philippine policy of the Repub-
lican party has been and is inspired
by the belief that our duty toward the
'ipino people Is a national obligation
which should remain entirely free
from partisan politics.
Porto Rico.
We ratify in all its particulars the
platform of 1908 respecting citizen
ship for the people of Porto Rico.
immigration.
We pledge the Republican party to
the enactment of appropriate laws to
give relief from the constantly grow
ing evil of induced or undesirable i'm
migration, which Is inimical to the
progress and welfare of the people of
the United States.
Safety At Sea.
We favor the speedy enactment OF
laws to provide that seamen shall not
| be compelled to endure involuntary
servitude and that life and property
at sea shall be safeguarded by the
ample equipment of vessels with life
saving appliances and with full com
plements of skilled, able bodied sea
men to operate them.
Republican Accomplishment.
The approaching completion of the
Panama canal, the establishment Of o
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 widows, ant
the vigorous administration Of the
law relating to pure food and drugs
all mark the successful progress o.
Republican administration and are
additional evidences of it's effective
ness.
Economy And Efficiency.
We commend the earnest efforts o.
the Republican administration to Sc
cure greater economy and increased
efficiency in the conduct Of the gov
eminent business. Extravagant appro
priations and the creation of unnec
essary Offices are an injustice to th'
taxpayers and bad example to thu
citizens.
civic Duty.
We call upon the people to quicker
their interest in public affairs TO con

forms of lawlessness, and the strength

church in China. delivered an address
on the Revolution in China" before
the general conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal church here tonight. Bishop
Bashford reviewed in detail conditions
as he found them in China, and de-
clared that "the Chinese people have
caught a glimpse of Canaan; they are
on the road; they will not rest finally
until they have reached the Promised
Land"
Bishop Bashford disclaimed the re-
port that he represents the Chinese
government or brought personal mes
sage from Yuan-Shi-Kai to President
Taft or the American people. Bishop
Bashford said in part:
1.-THE enemies of China declare, and
with some truth. that the whole move
ment throughout the empire is due not
at all to Chinese initiative, but that
foreign missionaries awoke the Chinese
giant, and the Irresistible pressure Of
foreign nations pushed him into his
present progressive pace. How far,
therefore, will the giant travel. they
cynically ask, without further foreign
prodding2 And we who maintain that
the giant is at last awake. and that he
has leaped the chasm which separates
Oriental despotism from modern insti-
buttons must recognize that he has still
before him long and perilous journey.
SOME STRONG TALK.

province against province and the
widespread jealousy of the south

difficulty Of uniting the Chinese and
the Manchus and the Monaghan and
the Mohammedan, with the dangers of
foreign Intervention, with the lawless-
ness which attaches to every great
transition in government, with the re-

paradise, and asleep in that, can mag
inc that the proclamation of repub-
lie will be accompanied by the inaugu-
ration Of the millennium.
1--WE plead for large patience and
generous hope in our attitude toward
the Chinese. We fought seven years
to win our political independence and
then took six years longer to frame our
constitution, and we so compromised
over our form of government and over
slavery that it took four years
struggle to transform the states into
nation and the blood Of six hundred
thousand white men to cover the stain
of slavery. Let us not expect the four
hundred millions in China to complete
in a few weeks tasks which western
nations required decades to accomplish.
Gould government, and still more
the government by village elders and
by the heads Of families and clans,
have provided China a valuable prepa-
ration for law and order under the re-
public. The family, and often an en-
tire clan, annd sometimes a street of
city and community and entire city is
held responsible for the crime Of any
individual member. I recall city in
North China in which an entire family
was put to death for breeding a son
wicked enough to Slay his father and
not only was the whole family annihi-
lated. but a corner of the city wall
was torn down and the entire city left
defenseless for harboring a family
which could nourish such a son.
western nations marvel that so
great revolution in China could have
occurred with so little bloodshed Prob
ably not more than 10000 people in all
lost their lives in the transfer of 400,-
100000 from an oriental despotism to a
modern republic. But we submit
whether the reign of Kwang Hsu, the
last regency of the DoWager Empress
and the regency of Prince Hun were
not providential preparation for
revolution, while the events of the last
eight months constitute in form one
of the most tremendous revolutions of
human history, we submit whether
these events ara not in substance an
evolution, rather than a REVOLUTIONARY
evolution which hundreds of years of
local self-government have prepared
the way for, and which the three last
reigns Of the house divided against it,
self have made inevitable"

NEW MEXICO BAPTISTS
SETTLE APPLICATION
BY REV. ALzx w. sEAnEz.

4 OKLAHOMA CITY, May Am inn
portant question that is of great inter-
est to the Baptists throughout the
south has just been decided in New
Mexico. This new state for a number
of years has been aSbone of contention
between the Baptists of the north and
Of the south. The Baptfsts of the north
had a number of mission stations In
different parts of the state. The Bap-
lists of the south we're actively at work
in surrounding states, but had made
no efforts to secure a foothold in New
Mexico.
A number of the churches aff1liating
with the Northefn Baptist convention
made application a few years ago for
membership in the Southern convention.
This caused a great deal of excitement
among the Baptists of the north, and
they appealed to the Southern conven-
ton, requesting it not to receive these
churches, which really belonged to
them. After carefully considering the
matter, many of Hthe leaders among
the Southern Baptists came to the con-
clusion that they had no right to re-
fuse membership to any churches or as
ISOLATION which might apply to them.
At the last convention, in Jackson
vile, the Northern Baptists made for
NAL application to have the territory of
the two conventions well defined. They
asked that a committee be appointed to
confer with a similar committee from
the north to agree as to what was best
in the New Mexico situation. While
this was going on two state conventions
of the Baptists had been organized in
New Mexico, one affiliating with the
Southern convention and the other with
the NoRthern. The situation was acute,
to say the least of 1T, and was causing
much excitement among the Baptists of
the west.
The two committees have recently
met and after going fully into the stu
alton. they appointed a subcommittee
to visit New Mexico and to advise as to
what was best to be done in the prem
Uses. This subcommittee has recently
agreed upon a report which will be
submitted to the coming meeting of the
convention. 1t shows that the New
Mexico Baptists have agreed to meet in
June and dissolve the two existing con-
ventions. At that time another meeting
of the Baptists will be called to come
together some time in August. Then
a new convention will be organized
which will affiliate with the Southern
Baptist convention. 1t goes without
saying that the report of this commit
tee will be adopted by the convention,
and this will further increase the fol-
lowing of this great religious organiza-
ton. It looks as If the whole Baptist
world is coming the way in which the
Southern Baptists are walking.
