THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

It was a well delivered and effective
address which Senator Mclean made
at the opening of the state republican
convention. 1t bristled with republi-
canism from start to finish and the
many points were brought out with
the telling effect of which the senator
is capable, AS he reviewed the series
of mistakes which has been made by
the present administration in the
handling of domestic as well as for
eign affairs, he hit out straight from
the shoulder when he declared:
THE honor and the safety and the
prosperity of this country never will
be safe in the hands of the democratic
party until that party changes its
fundamental principles and that it
cannot and will not do as long as it's
policies are in the hands of the men
now in control of congress" The SEN
ator was handling a subject with
which he is closely in touch and per-
tinent is his slogan that preparedness
and protection will bring peace and
prosperity"
That the republican delegates in
convention at Hartford acted with the
good judgment that was expected Of
them is evidenced by the action taken

necticut goes unpIedged, as it should

REPEATING FREE SUGAR.

The action Of the senate democrats
relative to the repeating of that clause
in the tariff law which places sugar
on the free list the first of MAY, and
the extension of the time when such
a provision will go into effect to Nav
l, 1920, shows a difference of opin,
ion from that expressed by the mem
bers of the same party in the lower
house of congress, who stand for the
unrestricted repeal Of the provision.
The idea of the democrats in keep
ing sugar from the free list now is
to save the revenue which will be OBJ
tanned from the duty running up as it
does to about $5o,o00O0O a year. That
the country is in need of such finan-
cial aid cannot be questioned 1t has
been evident for a long time that there
would be a, serious embarra ssment I'M
less this impending loss was prevent
ed, fnasmuch as the other tariff
cutting acts of the administration
have seriously affected the national
revenue.
The senate action has been in &C
cordance with the attitude disclosed
by the conference of senate demo
Gratis taken a short time ago and ii
now remains for a conference Of the
committees from the two houses tC
determine whether it is the house OF
| the senate method of repeal which will
ultimately be passed. If it is wise
now to save this revenue which would
i otherwise be thrown overheard there
| is good reason for believing that i
will continue to be needed, even aftel
the war is over, just as much as it i.
now seen that 1t was a mistake a few
| years ago to plan for the entire remova
| of the duty on the first of May. 1
| is folly to drop this revenue and pro
lection and make it up by federal tax
alton.

that the constitutionalist heads in
Mexico should now consider that they

to be remembered that this was the
same attitude which was taken by
Carranza when the question of recog-
milton by this country was up for
consideration. 1t was then he assured
the United States that he not only
had the inclination but the strength
and control which would be sufficient
to guard against any depredations by
the bandit chieftain and his sympa-
thizers, and confidence was placed in
his estimate.
This was after Villa had been decisive
ly beaten on several occasions and was
being driven back into the mountains
but 1t is a matter of sad record that
he was nevertheless able to reassem

that she was subsequently raised and
repaired, her state rooms taken out
and came on the line again as a
freighter and as late as 1867 was in
command of Captain Horace Shirley,
an outside navigator who used TO run
steamers on the Savannah line, be-
tween Portland, Me-. and Savannah,

into New York waters, and was burn

ASHLAND CELEBRATE.

Rogue River Courier: A canvass
among the business men of Grants
Pass has indicated that the very large
majority of them favor holding M
celebration of the Fourth Of July this
year in view of the big three-day cele-
bration to be staged in Ashland, The
trustees of the Commercial Club took
action along that line, as did the or
ganization of merchants known as the
Beavers, and the members of the
Moose band decided against a cele-
bration which it had under contem-
plation. The people of Ashland are
arranging for three days Of jollifica-
tion when the springs project which
is now nearing completion will be
formally dedicated. Through the
Commercial Club Ashland invited
Grants Pass to join in the festivities
with them, and the invitation has
been accepted in a spirit of hearty
good will. Grants Pass will hold her
celebration later.

 "It was one night when l had been sitting up sewing. My husband came home very drunk. He--he frightened me and I ran from him. That infuriat- ed him-he ran after me-and seized me by the shoulder!
