At the Old Stand.

In 1912 more than half Of the Re-
publican party, seeding from the reg
ular organization, was singing con
ward, Christian Soldiers!" and battling
for the Lord at Armageddon.
Now three quarters of the Progress
-sive Republicans who followed Mr..
Roosevelt in 1912 have returned to the
Republican ranks.
The Republican party to which they
have returned is not regenerated Re-
publican party. 1t is the old reac.
tionary Republican party which they
repudiated two years ago. It is the
Republican party of Penrose and Cam
non and Gallinger and Brandegee and
Ebenezer ]. Hill, whose leadership in
1912 was the justification of the Pro-
gressive secession. Even in PennsyE
vania which Mr. Roosevelt carried in
1912 and in which he made his most
energetic campaign against Republic
can corruption, in 1914, Penrose is re-
elected to the senate by a plurality of
staggering proportions, and Penrose
owes this victory to voters who were
frenzied and fanatical in their support
of Mr.. Roosevelt two years ago.-NeW

LOOKS GOOD FOR DEMOCRATS
Kentucky Statesman Points Out How
Party Is Gaining Strength in
the Country.

'sThere was nothing in the Novem-
Der elections to discourage the Demo
cratic party" said former Governor
J. c. W. Beckham, United States SEN
ator-eleet from Kentucky, on a recent
visit to Washington.
From what have seen," continued
Governor Beckham, "the present ad-
ministration is very strong with the
people, and believe will grow much
stronger before the 1916 election. The
more the returns Of the election are
studied the less satisfaction the Re-
publicans can find in them. While
we lost much of the Overwhelming ma
jority in the house we gained substan-
TALLY in the senate. I have great con-
fdence that the Democratic measures
passed by this congress will grow exr
ceedingly in popularity and strength
before the close of this administration.
Only the rnthinking or the igno-
rant will attribute the business de-
preston which passed over the coun--
try to the Democratic administration
or to Democratic measures. There are
signs of Improvement everywhere, and
the Indications are that before long
we shall have considerable revival

GOOD TINES AHEAD
Business Conditions Of Country
Continue to Improve.
Prospects Reported Excellent in All
sections-Period of Depression
Caused by European War
Rapidly Ending.

Recent reviews of business eondi-
lions throughout the United States are
exceedingly optimistic as to the pros
poets in every section Of the country.
Prosperity is found in all the agri-
cultural districts of the East, the
West and the North; large produc.
lions of the farms have been met by
the greatest demands of all time for
such productions 49,
The European war has extended and
expanded those demands and viii con-
tinue to SO extend and expand them
for many months ahead.
More than one hundred thousand
men have returned within a short time
to employment in the mills. shops and
factories of this country, and many
thousands more will be set at work
through the demands upon the indus
trial establishments for their outputs.
The federal reserve banking system
is transacting business, and this re.
moves all tension in currency sup
plies and enables the banks to imme.
diately extend financial assistance to
sound enterprises and legitimate and
safe business affairs.

Secretary Daniels Reports.

The annual report of the secretary
Of the navy for the fiscal year 1914
has literary as well as professional
charm. 1t is a record set forth, not in
the dry-as-dust manner Of most Off
cial intercourse, but with the grace
of style and happy phraseology OF a
critical essay on history. 1t is full of
information. and it makes most excel
lent reading. Either of these qualities
is enough to stamp report of this
sort as out of the ordinary, and. the
two together are quite remarkable.
Secretary Daniels shows a pardon
able pride in the story of the great
service over which he presides. If he
has not accomplished all that he hoped
in the way of economy, he has cut
down, expenses while increasing eff
cheney. He has brought common sense
into play. The sale of the two battle
ships. Idaho and Mississippi, to
Greece for the price of dreadnaught
is a case in point, and there are many
more.
