No woman of intelligence today

But she has a growing respect for

RETURNING TO THE PARTY.

The instructive results OF the Cali
fornia primaries. where the Bull
Moose were wont TO herd in dominant
numbers. is followed by another ex-
emplification OF the return Of the
Roosevelt followers to the Republican
party in Nebraska. State they also
assembled in in embarrassing profu.

high priest of Rooseveltism governs,
and who was the vice presidential can

sive ticket, the party shows up. or
rather is shown up. as a negligible
quantity Now il is Nebraska that
indicates the practical reunion Of the
former Republican divisions.
In the Presidential election two
years ago Wilson carried the State
with a vote OF los, DOS. against 54.216
for Taft and 72.6s9 for Roosevelt.
Now 1t is certain from the incom.
plete returns already received that
the Republican vote at the primary
election has exceeded that OF the
Democrats by a comfortable margin.
II is also clear that the Republican
vote at the primary election was great.
er than that of the Republican ticket
in the Presidential election two years
ago. The Progressive vote has prac-
tically disappeared.
This is more than encouraging when
It is remembered that while Taft car
ried almost every Northern State In
1908. Nebraska went into the Demo
cratic column. II means that Bryan's
State will be in the Republican column
this year. which will be not only a re.
pudiation Of the Great Commoner. "

ONLY TEMPORARY REVIVAL.

IL has never been denied. nor can
II be eontroverted. that the cheap Ia
hor OF Europe makes d impossible Cor
American manufacturers to compete
with foreign manufacturers and pay
living American wages. This was rec.
ognized after the Napoleonic wars,
which made IL necessary to establish
the first protective tariff. The Repub.
lican party has always maintaiend this
protection-hrst. to preserve our home
market. and second. to keep up the
standard OF the American working.
mans compensation.
For sixteen years the United States
had been enjoying season of unex-
ampled prosperity. Il was cut short
by the depressing and injurious eco.
nomic policies Of the Democratic par.
~. which rode into power not through
majority expression OF the American
voters. but on account of an unfortr
nate division in the Republican ranks
The same influences that worked 10

in the United States over one hundred
years ago. owing TO the paralyzation
Of European trade by the frightful
wars OF Napoleon, are now being ex.
tended to this country again in re.
wing our languishing industries.
brought to stagnation by the Under.
wood free trade bill. But the country
is warned that this revival. in the ma
ture of things. is only of temporary
character.
Every producing power is now en-
joying a false stimulation through a
greater European cataclysm than that
inflicted by Napoleon. The interests
are greater. human wants have in.
creased; everything has expanded
many fold. But there must come a
time Of reckoning. and that will trans.
ptre when these wars shall have
ceased and the Impoverished people
return TO their former avocations
With the Underwood bill still in oper.
alton we shall see how soon the re.
vival Of industry will collapse. The
working classes OF the devastated
countries will be glad to accept work
at any wage TO stave of starvation
European factories and industries will
resume and the old story Of hundred
years ago viii be retold. Il will be
impossible under these circumstances
for the American employer to pay the
high standard OF wages and compete
with the products Of Europe turned
out by low wage workmen OF foreign
countries. The preservation OF our
industrial supremacy. therefore. rests
as It always has. on the return 10 the
protective tariff principle. which car
only be secured through a return Of
the Republican party TO power.
