THE BASIC DIFFERENCE.

The thing this nation needs is a
higher ethical plane in politics. In
Australia. or Canada. or England.
where the ehtics of sport is applied
TO the political game, it would have
been impossible TO seat delegates Sc
cured by means wholly disreputable
and unworthy. Every one of the
southern contested Taft delegates
We're elected by such means. The
least that fairness and justice could
dictate in such case would have been
10 throw out all contested delegates
from these sections. and allow the
convention 10 proceed with delegates
selected by the rules of propriety and
decency, with due consideration 10
the states which had sent up delega-
tions by the popular will of the party
through the primary system.
Government is instituted TO serve
the ends of common justice and the
general good. When it ceases to do
that it deserves no longer the support
and respect of the governed. Indi-
vidual candidates may come and go,
political parties may rise and fall,
but the political life of the people
must go on or government, under
whatever name, will fail.
People now think Independently
The day of blind party servitude is
past. Only insofar as party. or gov
ernment, serves the common good.
will it retain the loyalty and respect
due a just institution.
The republican party was not
riven on the candidacy of Taft or
Roosevelt. The popular DETECTION is
deeper than that The people do not
hope for good government from a
party, or representatives. who gain
power by theft. When the only in
centive for action is common good,
the majority is able to rule unhin-
dered, but when sinister motives pre-
vail, the necessity for disreputable
practices arises.
1t is commonly charged. and gen
orally believed, that a certain priv
ileged class has sprung up' in our
national life. This class has been
fostered by political manipulation,
and by controlling political organ
ization it hopes to perpetuate its
abuse. The people are determined
that no class shall thrive at the ex-
pense of the whole by legislative and
administrative control. That is the
ground upon which the republican
convention split.

1t is hundred to one that before
the end of this week it will be DEM
onstrated that the same interests
which stole the republican organiza-
tion at Chicago will steal the demo-
cratic organization at Baltimore. 1t
is a desperate fight between the peo-
pie and special privilege. The or
ganizations will go to privilege, but
the government will be held by the
people. At the end of this national
campaign the people will be in the
saddle, and equity and justice Will
again ascend the throne.

LET EPHRAIM HAVE HER.

In the solid south states there is
no republican party. number of
persons have banded together there
10 control federal patronage, and are
enabled TO do so by an unjust appor-
tionment CT delegates to the national
republican convention. As long as
one republican voter in Georgia,
where there is no possibility of party
success locally or in the national
electoral college, amounts 10 as much
as ten republican votes in Illinois,
where the party is always locally sue
cessful and returns a full republican
delegation 10 the electoral college
every four years, there can be little
hope for justice from the delibera-
tions of a convention dominated by
delegates originating under such con-
ditiOns. The national republican
convention, as now constituted, is
not representative of the party in the
nation. Therefore why should repub-
licans consider themselves bound by
it? There was a time when parti-
sans could be whipped into line un-
der whatever circumstances. But
that time is past. Partisans then be-
lieved in the principles and integ-
rity of their party. But as it has
grown more apparent that party or
ganiZation is becoming based alone
on spoils. that apparent great party
issues are but tinkling brass, and
party platforms are but ladders upon
which leaders climb to prefer
ment, regardless of clean and up
right administration, party fealty
wanes. The common people do not
care a rap now for the success Of
this party or that The thing they
want and demand is good govern
ment. They are determined to have
it in spite of party and politicians.
Corrupt domination of politics by
big business has already progressed
too far. People are beginning to see
that it is the party organizations that
need to be reformed. Special privi-
lege has long ago captured both the
republican and democratic parties
Special privilege has no politics In
Illinois it is republican and in Louis
ana democratic. Wherever political
power is lodged there it entrenches
itself. Is it to be supposed that
special privilege will reform itself?
Can there be found an example in
the history of the world where an
organization grown sleek and fat by
the spoliation of mankind has had
the virtue and honesty to correct the
wrong-where the abusers have abol-
ished the abuse?
The great issue in the republican
convention at Chicago just closed
was not whether Taft, Roosevelt,
Cummins or La Toilette should be
nominated, but whether the republi-
can party should be representative of
the people or of special interest.
The people went to the convention
determined, but the system was so
deeply entrenched in the organiza-
tion it was found impossible to dis
lodge it. And failing, the people are
no less determined. Party loyalty
will not hold them, because the party
lacks substance, it no longer repre-
sents them, but has been stolen by
privilege, and they feel no further
allegiance.
Let Ephraim have his idol and go;
the American people will worship
none but the true and living God
Administration must henceforth be
representative.

THE NAME.

What's in a name? A rose by
any other name would smell as
sweet" Yet there is a kind of fas-
cination in a long-hOnored name.
The name of republicanism has been
long associated with justice and
progress. 1t was the party Of Lin
coin, the great emancipator, and
champion of human rights and equal
opportunity.
The name democracy is associated
with the great principles enuneiated
by Jefferson and believed in BY the
rank and file OF its adherents for
more than a century.
And so these names bear a sacred
aspect TO those who have long asso-
ciated their original principles with
the name.
After all, name is but a symbol
a word. Purity conveys a thought
of cleanliness and right, but to at
tach the word purity TO acts OF op-
preston and injustice does not
change the consequences of the act.
During the last Cleveland admin
istration. when the democratic or
ganizatiOn had the opportunity to put
into force the long-cherished tariff
doctrine of that party, instead it
adopted the Wilson tariff bill.
Cleveland did not call the act dem
Ocratic," but he called it party
treason. And be was right. The
organization had fallen into the
hands of its enemies. and what that
organization chose TO exemplify as
democratic was but treason to the
principles for which that word had
long been the symbol.
So with the republican party. The
name has been stolen by those op-
posed to the principles for which it
stood and has been attached to doc
trines directly opposed to what it
originally represented.
Now, this is the question to be
decided by the rank and file of both
the old parties Is it the name we
worship, or is it a principle for
which a name can be but symbol?
If the latter, then there is nothing
in the name; there is all in the prin-
ciple.
The principle of the peoples rule
and the destruction of the power of
bossism must be adhered to under
whatever name. A government of
the people, by the people and for the
people must no perish from the
earth. This is and must be a gov
ernment by the people. The old
names are but sounding brass and
tinkling cymble. The people will no
longer stand divided one against the
other on a name. The names that
once stood for justice now symbolic
ppression-that once stood for the
people now stand for special privi-
lege-that once symbolized the peo-
pies rule now stand for the rule of
the bosses. The great mass of
American citizens whose interests are
identical will no longer stand divided
at the polls on a name without the
substance of true republican-demo-
cratic principles.
