and Caroline was left alone to cope
with the situation. Night found her
tired and discouraged. She had en-
countcred difficulties which made the
small Westmore house seem like an
Eden.
Fred came home delighted with
what she had done and what he had
experienced. Say. I'm going to like

The n great difference between

COMING BACK.

writer asks in a political essay
~,,st NIT into circulation, will the
republican party come back" lie an
swers the question in the afhrmatlNe'
And he answers it correctly. II re-
publican party will come back. of
course things may happen which Will
mako this prediction fail of tulflll-
nent. Parties have gone out OF en-
istence before NOW II they VIII 90
SO again. But at the present time
there is no reason To believe that the
republican party will fail to get itself
together, and to assume the COM
manding place in the affairs of the ma
tion which it has held for SO many
wears in the past. Coming back is
not necessarily clecting a president
and getting control of congress at the
next election, or at any particular cleo
ton. 1t would be foolish to predict
at this time that the republicans will
or will not elect the next president.
We have lust entered on a democratic
administration. That administration
remains To pt lIleO. IL II H'"hoSts
the affairs of the country wisely 1t
will stand Just the same sort of chance
of a return to power that n party
does which has made a satisfactory
record. ON the other hand, the re-
publican party received an awful jolt
in the last election. and its future de-
ponds entirely on the manner in which
It conducts itself. If it should spend
its time in playing petty politics, in
putting up jobs. in senseless OPPOSE
tion to beneficial legislation on mere
party grounds, the party will not only
fail to come back in the near future,
but it will travel to even greater dis
tances than it has yet reached.
The prediction that the party will
come back is based on the conviction
that the party will do the things that
are necessary to bring it back. Ger
tain changes have taken place in the
attitude of the people toward their
government. Any party which is to
occupy an important place in the ma
ton must adjust itself to these chang
es. We believe that this adjustment
will take place in the republican par
ty. Men who have failed to keep up
with the procession cannot lead the
march. and there are indications that
the management of the party is to be
in the hands of men of the more pro-
gressive type. not professional pro
gressives," but men of progress. who
keep on moving. who are not hide
bound and who keep in touch with
the great American people. If these
men control there will be no trouble
about the party coming back.
