NOT TRUE PATRIOTS
Republicans Put Party Before
Country.

ble-Democratc Record Is
One of Honor.

The most foolish exhibition of parti-
sanship witnessed in this country for
many day is that participated in BY
the Republicans of the house and sen
ate when they voted solidly against
the extension of the emergency war
taxes for one year.
1t is no excuse for this narrowness
to say that the measure was partisan
and that if the Republicans had been
in power they would have handled it
differently. The measure was not
partisan. If the Republicans had
been in control they would have been
compelled to take similar action. In
fact, the emergency war taxes are the
same in principle as those levied by
Republicans during the Civil and the
Spanish-American wars
The pretense that high or low tar
MS, tariffs for plumber or tariffs for
revenue, had anything to do with this
question or the situation that produced
1t was equally false The emergency
taxes were made necessary by the war
in Europe, which has dislocated COM
merce and industry to an extent never
before known
Several weeks before the war with
Spain began, every Democrat in the
house of representatives voted with
the Republican majority in favor of a
S500O0,000 appropriation for national
defense. The money now derived from
the emergency taxes is just as neces-
sary to national honor and security as
the great fund that was placed unre-
servedly in the hands of President Nc
Kinley in 1898. The first step toward
national defense is to keep a solvent
treasury.

OLD-TIME FALLACY EXPOSED
Republican High-Tariff Doctrine Has
Been Concusively Proved TO
Be Of No Worth.

1t is announced by friendly inter.
prefer Of Wall street sentiment that
the street would welcome even the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt by
the Republicans if that would unite
the party, "as it sees no other way to
re-establishment of the high tariff"
The same news columns carry this
extract from an address by George e.
Roberts, twice director of the United
States mint under different Republican
administrations and now associated
with a leading Wall street bank:
IF anything has been clearly demon
strated in recent months it is that you
cannot have permanently one-sided
trade. You soon reach the point
where you have to lend to your Gus
toner to enable him to continue his
purchases, and evidently that policy
cannot go on indefinitely"
This is now not merely an obvious
theoretical truth 1t is a truth ich
is being driven home with practical
force by every days developments in
the country's fast-expanding foreign
trade. The permanently one-sided
trade" which is the theory and the
end Of the old Republican tariff pol
icy has gone for good if America is to
hold its new position in the commerce
of the world.
AS against this Wall street forecast
of presidential campaign to re-estab
lish extortionate tariffs there stands
the fact that a great body Of the Re
publican party and even a section of
Wall street are being educated away
from this position by the mighty force
of new experience in economic prac-

Problem for Republicans

Many Republicans of the straitest
sect must be perplexed in the ex-
IRENE. These bumper" crops. this
commerce. this revived business cant

phantom of false morning. 1t is in

curiosity.

JOFFRE'S MAIN RELIANCE

In the phalanx Of brilliant gen

General Joffre should circumstances
suddenly require it.
General Foch was born in Tarbes,
Hautes Pyrenees, in 1851. Made cap
tain at the age of twenty-six, he soon
became professor at the military acad
my, where he had an opportunity to
develop such theories as he held dear.
When war broke out he was in
command of the Twentieth army
corps at Nancy. After fighting in Lor-
raine General Foch took command of
the Ninth army at the battle Of the
Marine, in the region of SeZanne, at

Do any of us know the power Of

a good, noble mother, a consecrat-

working together for the good of
all mankind, that home may be
humble, but home in the truest
sense of the word. And after
wears may bring temptations and
trials and cares, but the influence
or that home can never be plotted
out nor its power for good ever
overestimated. Surely environ
ment is stronger than education.
First influences will last until life
itself is gone. If our influence
counts for so much ought we to
ever grow weary striving to make
that influence strong for good ?
But how soon when we have made
good resolutions and promised to
be more thoughtful and kind, do
we fall back into the old listless-

pass by, that would make us rich
with their blessings.
No matter how small a sin is.
