Fast unitInu.

To use an old phrase which fits the
situation perfectly, condition, not
theory, confronts those who have been
striving to prevent the union of the
two great parties which ought to
stand together against the Democratic
organization now in control of the ma
tional government and supreme in
many states where it has the support
of only a minority of the voters.
While the opponents of Progressive
and Republican amalgamation are
talking against it, the union is actual
ly taking place. 1t becomes more and
more apparent that nothing can keep
it from going on until the two parties
become in effect one, with only few
irreconcilable extremists LETT outside
of the camp.
There will be a getting together of
Republicans and Progressives which
will leave little room for dIssension
and strife in the years to come. No
man, no group of men, can prevent
this natural welding of political forces
which are working for the same pur-
poses, toward common goal

SENATOR BRIST0W SCORES
PRESIDENT WILSON'S STAND
Asserts Chief Executive Appears to
Put Roads Above Women-HoUse
Passes Alaska Bill.

Washington, Feb. 20. - The presi-
dents plan to repeal the Panama tolls
exemption came in for its first senate
debate and was characterized by SEN
ator Bristow, Republican. as an aid to
transcontinental railroads Wednesday.
Senator Lodge, Republican, and Sena-
tor Owen defended the presidents POI
sitlon, while Senator Chamberlain.
Democrat. refused to agree with it.
Mr.. Bristow denied having impugned
the presidents motives.
Tine greed of the railroads and the
audacious claims of Great Britain
seem far more potent with our chief
executive than appeals of women" he
said.
Senator Bristow declared Mr. VIII
sons attitude on the Panama canal
plank of the Baltimore convention and
on the suffrage question had given
line on some of the peculiar and inter-
esting characteristics of our chief ex-
ecutiye which may be exceedingly use
full to the country IN the future" He
quoted the single presidential term
plank and asked.
AT the proper time will the presi-
dent interpret this plank in harmony
with his position as TO suffrage or as
to canal tolls?"
When Senator Owen took the floor
to defend the president the debate
turned from suffrage to Panama tolls.
lie declared there was likely 10 creep
into a party platform some plank not
fully digested and therefore not to be
regarded as conclusive upon the party.
Il am opposed to no tolls said Sen
ator Owen. They would be unjust to
tie taxpayers OF the United States
do not believe one dollar of the exemp-
ton to eoastwise vessels would ever
find its way to the ultimate consumer.
The administration Alaskan railroad
bill. authorizing the president to con
struct a S35,000,00 railroad from Alas
ka's coast to its great coal fields. was
passed by the house by vote of 23O
to 81.
A similar measure already has
passed the senate, and the bill will be
taken up at once In conference be-
tween the two houses with view to
sending it quickly to the president,
who has signified his intention of sign
ing it.

Snail We Restore Maioritv Rule?

The Philadelphia Public Ledger de-
clares that the reunion OF the two
great factions whose separation last
year brought about revelation in
the national government is "a patriot
ic duty whbh "devolves On Republic
ans and Progressiyes alike" that ma
jcrity rule may be re-estaBIfshed and
'sobriety in government preserved"
On the dangers of permitting the pres
ent division to continue it truly re-
marks:
Our system Of government re-
quires party rule. The men,
ace of an unrestrained majority cam
not be compared to the danger of an
unrestrained minority which, through
the petty strife of the opposition.
holds complete control OF the govern
ment. The danger lurking in so un-
natural situation appears in recent
legislation suggested at Washington.
