Party Union and Strength.

The end of party organization is
strength. There is no virtue in the
preservation of organization or efforts
that are unproductive. If the Republic
an party felt that its days of victories
were over 1t would be marked for sure
disintegration and would have no
cause for complaint at such an end to
it's magnificent history. There Is no
disgrace in honest defeat; neither Is
there dishonor in disorganization after
the work of a party has been finished
1t was predicted that the split of the
Republicans would have this outcome.
The contrary has been true. The forces
of integration are strongly at work
throughout the country. The Republic
ans who adhered to or who dissented
from the organization are getting to-
gether. 1t may be confidently asserted
that If this process would bring back
to the party those who left it for other
standards, not only would the Repub-
Hcan party be no weaker for it's chas-
tisement-if so, it is to be construed
but it would be strengthened by the
addition of the great body of sober
citizens who cannot abide the courses
of the CONGRATULATIONS Ameri-
can.

Not a Partisan Matter

The Democrats have determined to
regard the currency bill as a purely
partisan matter. We submit that this
is a wrong point of view. If ever there
was measure upon which the general
welfare depended, Independent of par

Any plan which is to be workable must
of necessity be free from political con-
sideration. The monetary commission,
a nonpartisan body, recognized this
fact 1t gave heed to experts from
every section without regard to party

There is no denying the tremendous

The Democratic senate would appear

other object for the same sort of fis-

on which it proposes to clap a tax OF

fore February 20, 1915, the date set
for the formal opening.
Now that the long, difficult and te-

the parks and gardens laid out and
the many activities In connection
with the gigantic enterprise are in
full swing. III
Machine Palace Ready.
On the big palace of machinery,
now under roof, the carpenter work
is very near completion and in all
probability will be completed within
the next three weeks. the only work
remaining to be done being the wall
framing in the east and west en-
frances, the wainscotting, partitions
and mill work. About 100000 board
feet OF lumber nave been installed on
this structure to date. All the win

about half of them are in place and
ready for the glass. Fifty per cent
of the roof covering has been put on
and q corresponding amount of sheet
metal work finished. or the staff and
plaster work 5000 square yards Of
plain surface is completed and the
men engaged in this work have be
come so expert that the plastering
can now be pushed forward speedily.
About one-third of the staf work has
been set in place, that on the north
end being practically completed.
Painting is advancing as fast as mill
work is being installed. The plumb
ing will be completed in about two
weeks. There are about $50 men EN-
ployed on this structure, which is SO

applying the plastering.
More than 100 men are at work
upon the palace of education, Is per

roof framing are under way, the con-

decoration Is completed.
An average of IS men are at work
upon the palace Of food products, the
frames OF which are rising rapidly.
