meIIt. 1t could not exist on lines OF dog
matic strict construction.
The men who organized the third party
under the oaks in Michigan some sixty
years ago were fortunate in the selection
of name. But they were not driven to
invention. They simply adopted a name
that had done notable service at an ear
lier day. The word republican" was
some important history.
Since then the name has become more
illustrious than when first used. All the
most notable things political of the past
fifty-odd years have borne the hallmark
Of the republican party. The greatest
man since Washington was a republican,
and twice elected President. The name
and achievements of Lincoln alone have
endeared the party to millions.
For several years the republican party
has been under a heavy fire. and Just
now is out of power. But does that argue
that 1t is done for? Has 1t not been out
of power before? Have not its strong
men quarreled over policies and clashed
in personal ambitions only to learn les
son from chastisement. to bury their diff
ferences. and, united again, to come
back?
And consider what the democratic party
has survived. Slavery. the civil war. the
rag money craze and the free silver
craze. 1t was on the wrong side Of all
those issues and yet is in power today,
a lusty organization.
But do the New York bull moosers, or
the bull moosers anywhere, need a new
name half SO much as new look
around? Have they really outgrown the
name republican? Could they not wear
that again comfortably? Are not many
of them preparing to do so? Were Mr..
Roosevelt to give the word tomorrow,
bull moosery would disappear at once
All its strength on him is stayed. All
its hope from him it brings. Progress
sivism, bull moosery, what you please, it
is Roosevelt But it cannot take his
name because of the frank confession
that would be involved in such an adop-
ton 1t still insists that it is not a one
man party.

Navy Yard Dismissals.

The impending reduction of the work
ing force in the navy yard must have
a disquieting effect on the whole force
in the affected shops, and will carry
hardship to many of the men, Machin-
lists who are tenants of rented property
will feel the jolt less. Of course than
those who have bought or are buying
houses. In numerous cases the discharge
of machinist or other workman who
has to do with machinery and metal
working, means that he must leave WASH

here outside of the government shops for
labor of that quality.

Food in Scotland.

Now that the Scottish holiday sea-
son is just about to begin there is a
controversy in the north as to the
food provided by the boarding house
keepers and landladies Of Scotland
for their patrons from England. 1t
seems that the Scots do not alter
their menus to suit the southerners
and that some of the southerners re-
sent this. They want more vegeta-
bles, for instance, and greater va
riety of them. They demand turnip
tops Ga luxury rarely consumed north
of the Tweed, save by sheep, and
ask, why no spinach?" Also they
want heavy supper, likewise beer.
The complaining controversialists
say it is a case of ham and eggs for
breakfast, amidday dinner and a high
tea to conclude the meals Of the day.
AS for beer, they report that Scottish
landladies at the coast resorts look
askance at people who wish beer sent
in. SO far the only reply Of Scotland
to the fault-finders is that when they
are in Scotland they should eat what
the Scots eat and get their beer out

Value of Talk.

Talk has the reputation of being the
cheapest thing there is. AS supply
and demand have something if not all
to do with values, doubtless the sup
ply of talk is what gives it a bargain

Things that are cheap lack enduring
quality.
If talk were confined to the things
