THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

Last week we published the plat
form adopted by the National Demo-
cratic Convention. This week we give
in full the Republican platform adopt
ed by the National Republican Con-
vention of the Standpat wing Of that
party. We do this that the readers
of The Times may study and COM
pare the two declarations of party
principles, if the Republican docu-
ment, with its evasions of just what
the party would have done urder the
trying situation of the past two or
three years as we'll as of any clearly
defined policy of what it would do if
again placed in control of the govern
ment, may be called declaration Of
principles. 1t is diffusive in objec-
tons to everything in general pertain
ing to the Democratic administration,
which can hardly be dignifed as hon.
est criticism, for sincere criticism does
not indulge in indiscriminate wholesale
condemnation, but points out specific
defects and wherein their error lies
and how such error might have been
avoided. But that would be outlin-
ing definite policy and telling just
what the Republican party would
have done instead of the things for
which it has nothing but evasive con-
demnation. This the Republican plat
form does not do, showing that it has
no clearly defined policy on either our
foreign relations or domestic condi-
tions.
Take the platforms reference to
foreign affairs. 1t says eve believe
that peace and neutrality, as well as
the dignity and influence of the Unit
ed States, cannot be preserved by
shifty expedients, by phrase-making,
by performances in language, or by
attitudes ever changing in an effort
to secure groups of votes; the pres
ent administration has destroyed our
influence abroad and Inundated us in
our own eyes," What nonsense, in
the light of the fact that President
Wilson, by his firm diplomatic contro-
versy with Germany, wrung from
that government promise to respect
American lives and rights and to con-
form to the rules of international law
in it's submarine activities. Did that
humiliate our government or destroy
its influence abroad? Would the Re-
publicans have resorted to declara-
ton of war to settle these conditions
They did not dare say so in their
platform, nor will they dare take that
ground now. But further on in the
same paragraph the platform says,
1--WE believe in the pacific settlement
of international disputes" blowing hot
and cold in the same breath. But in
consistency and insincerity are con-
.spicuous throughout the document.
Can any one imagine by such "wea-
zle" words what Republican policy
would have been or what it would be
if they were in power now?
Then as TO Mexico, Read that par
agraph Of the platform carefully, note
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1916-06-30

The unprecedented achievements OF
President Wilson's Administration are
in themselves a platform upon which
every voter who has the good of his
country at heart may proudly stand
even if they were not reinforced b.
the splendid platform of principles
adopted by the st. Louis Convention
Both are evidences of what Democrat
ic craftsmanship and constructive en-
ergy have accomplished and will yet
accomplish. However assailed by Re,
publican sophistry and reactionary
benefciaries of special privileges they
stand out in wholesome relief when
compared with anything the Repub-
lican party has done in the past for
ty years.

No one really questions the right of
Charles Evans Hughes to resign a

Republican nomination for President,
but there are thousands, aye, millions

INTERESTING QUESTIONS.
CBy Benz. V. Longdon.)

(By Benz. V. Longdon.)
We can distinguish four ways, all
of them important in which questions
may be used; but we will take the use
of questions as an aid to memory as
being appropriate and the most famil-
lar of the four kinds of questioning.
And it is generally agreed that its
sen series of questions may touch ev.
cry desired point, bringing each in
turn into prominence and so impress
ing it upon the memory.
Memory is easily first among the
sacred faculties of the soul. 1t may
created with the power to love. to for.
give, to will, to choose, to anticipate;
but most of all, to remember. Yet we
need constant reminders of the best,
the highest, the holiest things in life.
They are much in danger of being
fle and in little while forgotten ut
terly. And this, lest we forget" Is
precisely the main trouble with our
race. We have forgotten; in the rush
and stress of things we have almost
forgotten our duty to the church, the
school, the home, and our loyalty to
our business and professional men.
Do you subscribe for any of our week
ly publications? The majority of us
on the subscription list have gone to
such lengths that we have simply for
gotten that we are. You receive your
] paper all right, but where is the
/ change? l recall the young Mrs
Smith, who discovered that her maid
was strongly addicted to eating al
all hours of the day. One day she or
dered four pounds of veal for dinner
When the veal failed to appear on the
table she questioned Bridget, who told
her that the cat had eaten it. Mrs
Smith placed the cat on the scale!
and found that it weighed exactly fou
pounds. well, Bridget" said she
here is the veal all right, but wher'
is the cat?"

it has been a long time since they
have had a man speak like Crews.

REV. J. W. Nurse HoNoRED.

One of the most inspiring, enthusi-
astic and intellectual services was
held at St. Stephens Baptist church
Sunday evening, September17, In the
presence of the committee appointed
by Conroe Normal and Industrial col
lege to confer the degree of honor,
Rev. DR.. J. w. Hurse graced his pull
pit in the usual manner, soliciting the
prayers of his people, and also of his
distinguished guests, if they felt so
disposed, and delivered one of the
most able sermons in the history of
his pastorate 1t was indeed an even
ing of long remembrance to the mem
bers and friends of ST. Stephens Bap-
tist church, and as the hour was grow
ing late, time would not permit us to
express our thankfulness. We are in
deed proud of our pastor whom we
feel is a God-sent blessing to our peo-
pie, and we realize that we have not
words to form in sentences that will
adequately express our gratitude. We
can only look at him as a lily of the
valley. How he grows! We, the Of
ficers and members and friends of st.
Stephens Baptist church, extend to
President DR.. David Abner of Conroe
Normal and Industrial College our sin
cere appreciation for the high honor
bestowed upon our pastor, Rev. j. w.
Nurse. We pray that his life may be
full of sunshine and that he may live
| long and give high honors to other
struggling and deserving men who are
/ trying to make their mark in life. To
the noted leaders in our city who con-
ferred this degree we extend to you
our appreciation and will always well
come you in our midst, as you always
bring sunshine and intelligence in our
church.
