WORLDWIDE SEARCH.
Connecticut Mutual Conducts Vigorous

In Cos cases the polieyholder was dead

dicial retreat that followed; and when
the time came TO select a candidate
Tor president possessing all the qualities
that a Republican candidate for presi-
dent should have, and who at the same
should be free from the enmities or
jealousies Of iactional bias, the party
turned with an unparalleled unanimity
to Charles Evans Hughes,
Such is the man whom the Republi'
can party has selected for its standard
bearer. The Republican party is still
the Republican party, proud Of its rec
ord. convinced Of the rightness OF its
cause, facing the future determined
and unalraid. With vigorous and
ireproachable leader, with a vice
presidential candidate, himself Of presi-
dental stature, one who has the conf
dence aesteem OF the entire nation
with platform that every Republican
can support with ardor and sincerity,
with situation in federal anministra-
tion that demands change, there can
be no doubt Of the result. Mr.. Roose'
welt has shown by his cfer to Withdraw
in favor Of Mr.. Lodge that the Repub-
lcan party is satisfactory to him, and
he has shown by his conditional declin'
alton Of the Progressive nomination
that he is prepared TO support the
nominee Of the Republican convention
| if his attitude on THE vital questions
OF the day" meet with his approval.
This disposition to relnquish the power
he unQuestionably holds in the interests
OF the unity OF the Republican party
merits, and will certainly receive, the
appreciation Of the country. Mr.,
Roosevelt has shown by these acts the
sincerity cf his Americanism. Even
his most devoted adherents, when the
tumult OF the convention has passed
and they have arrived at a condition
for calm thought, must have condemned
course that would have put personal
feelings above every honorable consid
Grafton Of the country's welfare. The
time has come to pu; aside every
thought that is not centered upon
the national good. Politics should
always be synonymous with patriotism,
but never was the synonym mere essen
tal than now. No anomosilies should
be permitted TO have weight, no person
al advantage should be allowed to in
llence; the sole question should be,
what is my duty to my country In
answer 10 tina; question is to be found
the guide to the action OF everyone
who believes in Republican principles,
whatever party name he may give 10
himself.
The Republican parry has spoken.
1t has no regrets aud no doubts, and
it looks forward 10 November wife a
firm faith il the intelligence and patriot
ism Of the people. Globe Democrat.

THE OTHER HALF
(By Associated Char1Hes.)

The test Of a charity organization
is its improvement IN charitable meth
DDS and machinery as based upon
both success and failure. We have
sought to manifest the same business
efficiency as would be found in any
highly organized industry. Much is
expected in charity office from a few
workers. 1t is necessary to have that
degree of system which will reduce
effort to the minimum for the results
desired. The factor Of inaccuracy
must be negligible quantity. In
formation must be quickly accessa-
Bile and easily understood. The re-
suits of all workers experiences must
be tabulated in such way that val
liable statistics can be compiled and
certain conclusions drawn.
