Party Differences

State Chairman Rupp, in the Aber-
deem World last evening, undertakes
to reply to the editorial in the Ia
coma Tribune, which is printed on
page one of this paper, on the subject
of minority rule. In his anxiety to
annex the Bull Moose party, the state
chairman makes a good many admis-
sions. Admissions which if made at
the Aberdeen convention last year
would have prevented the party split
saved the republican party from TAX
ing third place in this state, and pos
sibly inflicted the nation with four
more years of boss rule.
But the change was due, party
names do not signify so much to the
enlightened voters today as they did
twenty or more years ago. Perform
ance must follow promise nowadays
if political party expects continued
support, and the old guard of the
standpatters, who were ousted from
power last year, were VIGOROUSLY
long on promises and short on per-
Torrance. Just now the eyes of the
country are upon the democratic
party, and it's tenure of Office depends,
not upon the ability of a few self
appointed leaders of the standpat and
progressive parties to join issues for
sake of patronage, but upon the faith
full performance Of the agreements
made with the people in it's platform
at Baltimore.
There is little difference in the
fundamentals between the republican
and progressive parties" says State
Chairman Rupp, and he might truth
fully have added the democratic party
to the statement. A comparison OF
the three national platforms shows
that Of thess democratic party much
nearer that drawn by Roosevelt than
is the republican platform of Chicago,
and it is a generally recognized fact
that for twenty years the platforms
of the republican party have been
used as sprats to catch whales, some
thing to get into power on and ignore
afterwards. In the judgment of the
Herald, the day for this has passed

trate even more strikingly
than her brothers the changing ten

TY SOBERLY. 1t is rather the
fashion to have a SERIOUS IN
TEREST IN LIFE. Political and

and they are reading the serious

THE DOMINANT AMERICAN
TYPE OF GIRL IS THE PURI.
TAN.

The American girl represses her
emotions. She never is really nat
ural or impulsive. She thinks
about the conventions before she
speaks or acts. All her emotions
are under cover. Her life, her ac-
tons, her conversation, are FLAW
LESS, WELL BRED, IRE
PROACHABLE, but they are gov
erned by system and the opinion Of
the world. She follows the line laid
down by her Puritan ancestors in
manners and emotions.
Even in her dress she is initiative.
but not bold. LIKE HER PUR-
ITAN ANCESTORS SHE WEARS
A UNIFORM. She only adopts
what every other woman wears.
