THE UNSEEN GOVERNMENT
AND THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

The republican party, in its re-
cent acts, or rather by the recent acts
of its recognized representatives in
congress, seems to be ready to fol-
low reactionary course, seems to
imagine it can return to the courses
it pursued in the last twenty years
of the nineteenth century.
1t shows the traits of the Bour4
bons; it, as remarked recently by
conservative New York newspaper,
has not learned anything nor forgot
ten anything.
Some of its leaders seem to have
overlooked the fact that while dem
ocratic administrations during the
past fifty years have been dismissed
for Encouragement and incapacity,
republican administrations have lost
favor with the people through the
belief that corrupt, dishonest and
monopolistic interest claimed them
for their own.
There is a wide, broad, distinct,
definite line between the republican
party advancing the interests of the
country In an open, sincere, frank
and fair way for the great masses of
the people and its acting as the con-
fidential and trusted agent of the I'M
seen government which in the past
so frequently relied upon that party
to confer advantages upon it, adj
vantages that brought profit and
gain to the few at the expense of the
many
There stands between the old re-
publican party practices IA years of
progressive work.
There stands between the present
hour and the time of the old re-
publican party, owned and run by
unseen influences, nearly eight years
or Rooseveltian reform, four years of
the sturdy honesty of Taft, and there
stands the 100000 votes for the
progressive party.
The days of republican political
bosses are over; the old regime can
never be restored; the defeat of 1912
settled that forever.
Even in Pennsylvania public senti-
ment is not so debauched as for that
state to be counted safe for old re-
publican practices, old republican
r,atbodc oId rap,,L1;oon ,,ol;o;oc -
addition, division, and silence
The republican party in October,
1912, was recognized by it's unseen
government controllers as a useless
piece of political machinery.
1t had lost the confidence of the
people of the United States.
1t is not strong in the respect and
confidence of the people today
1t must advance if it is to regain
that respect and confidence.
1t must not appear simply as the
political agency of reactionary forces
Its sins of omission and commission
may still become as scarlet in the
thought of the people.
Its representatives and senators in
congress, refusing to aid in giving
the country merchant marine, after
all the party's promises to do so, is
attracting attention, and the unseen
government is charged with causing
this refusal.
The great majority of the people
of this country are progressive. They |
are honest, and they desire honesty
and square dealing by political par
ties.-Cincinnat Enquirer.

Other Advantages.

1t should be borne in mind that on
account os this course being offered
in the College, the students have the
additional advantage of taking one
additional subject in general prepar-
atory or collegiate work without adj
ditional charge, and also the advan-
tage of participating in the usual
college activities, which is worth a
great deal to the student who has not
been away to school.

The Postoffice Department announced
today that 465 miles Of parcel post
roads. benefitins twenty-eight counties

third and the state or county benefited,
two-thirds of the cost.
As rapidly as these roads are con-
structed, the department is endeavoring
to interest the local authorities In in
augurating systematic maintenance to
keep them In condition. The county en-
gineer has undertaken the maintenance

HUNDREDS RETURN
FROM VACATIONS
Railroads Prepare to Handle
Home Coming Resorters.
Throngs at Union Station.

Reappearance Of faces which have
been absent for months will be noted
beginning tomorrow In shop, office. and
promenade. when the vanguard of those
Washingtonians who hied themselves to
mountain and seaside for the summer
return to re-enter their city homes for
the winter.
Already the railroads are preparing to
handle the Homecoming "resorters," as
the employees of the common carriers
call the vacationists. September is
the date when the first Of the home
comers begin to arrive at Union Station.
although the real influx OF those wh }
have idled the weeks Of June. July, and
August by shore and stream and in
mountain fastness will not start until
after Labor Day.
Owing to the cold wave which held
the Eastern section of the country In its
grasp last week q marked increase in
the baggage handled was noted at IN
ion station
The question Of handling the home
coming throngs at this time of the year
IS of greater magnitude in Washington
than In any other city OF It's size in the
country, for the reason that simulta-
neously with the return Of the vaca-
tionists the season OF cheap rates for
fall tourists starts.
Railroad officials say there Is a great
er volume OF this business during the
first weeks Of September than at any
other time.
