we were unable to test before the war: !:
but many activities are necessarily un.
dertaken by a government in time OF

great questions with which we will

Rehabilitation of Country.

This rehabilitation of the country
will require the widest knowledge. and
intimate appreciation of the require
ments of business, and a general ad-
ministrative and managing skill which
the country in the past has failed to
find in the democratic party. Repub-
licans have claimed. and the country
has believed. that business conditions
and requirements We're considered and
provided for more intelligently and ef-
fectively when the republican party
has been in power. 1 think the country
will remember these qualifications and
will at the first opportunity restore our
party to the control of the govern
ment.
"one of the most difficult problems
facing the country at the termination
of the war will be the restoration of
prevailing conditions to a normal basis.
Quite likely this can never be wholly
accomplished, for the results and expe-
riences of the war will undoubtedly

No Hostile Political Party.

President Wilson is particularly for
tunate in the present crisis Unlike Lin
coin, he has no hostile political party to
add to his burdens. Every one familiar
with the civil war period will recognize
the difference in having minority party
led by such men as Horatio Seymour
Clement L. Vallandigham and Jesse u.
Bright, whose activities would have been
disastrous to the cause of the Union.
and having a minority party under the
leadership of Charles E. Hughes, VIII
liam Howard Taft, Theodore Roosevelt
and Henry Cabot Lodge, whose every
effort has been exerted in upholding and
supporting the administration.
Our auiescence does not mean tnat
republicans have forgotten the past nor
that they ignore the future We cannot
forget, for instance, that during the
years when the clouds of war were
lowering over us, when repeatedly warn
ing was sounded that we would prob
ably become involved in it, the party in
power failed to take any steps to pre-
pare for that contingency. This neglect
will cost US countless billions more than
would have been necessary II ordinary
prudence and foresight had governed
their action.
I'VE cannot forget that the modest
plans which the republican party re-
peatedly proposed and supported in Con-
gress to build up our merchant marine
would have produced a fleet which at
this time would be of inestirable value.
I'VE cannot forget that the war has
already completely demonstrated the
soundness of the protective policy, that
Germany as a result of that policy has
been able to maintain herself during the
long period of the war completely sur
rounded by embargoes and bIockades.
II have mentioned only these few fail
ures of the past, characteristic as they
are of many others. which the republi-
can party and all of our people would do
well to remember. AS to the future. the
duty of our party is plain. Following
the war, we must first be prepared to
exercise the power I am confident will
be conferred upon us--to restore as far
as possible and as far as the facts war
rant the conditions existing before the

The savage may be more healthy
than the average civilized man, but
that does not discredit the fact that
education plays very important ele-
ment in the development Of man. He
is a child of nature and lives close to
nature because he does not know any

ton should fortify man in his pursuit
of health and happiness. He should
have an intelligent respect for the
natural and moral laws.
At this period of the worlds civiliz-

some have sickness thrust upon them,
