REPUBLICANS ARE PATRIOTS.

1t does not lie in the mouth OF a
bitter partisan such as Senator Stone
of Missouri to indict the Republican
citizens of the United States as be-
Ing unpatriotic. Neither they nor
their leaders in congress or in the sep
arate states need have the slightest
concern over the TRADE of a man who
has been so recreant to his trust and
SO unfit for his position that the Presi-
900 in 1914. s1,17S,OO0 in 1915, and
the Republican minority for protec-
ton against his opposition and de-
sertion at a critical period in history
of our international relations. Every
one knows that the charge of Sena-
tor Stone is grotesquely untrue.
Everyone knows that the Republican
masses throughout the country have
risen as one man to the support OF the
president. Everyone knows that the
out of it. has been unparalleled in
the history of the country. President
Wilson, unlike Lincoln. has been con-
fronted by no secret cabal of Repub-
lican governors or Republican lead
ers, conspiring with a Republican val
landigham to hamestring his admins
tration and interfere with his man
agement of the war in the interests Of
the enemy. To state such a situation
is to make clear the fact that 1t does
not exist and has not existed.
That neither the president nor the
Democratic leaders have recognized
manner is unfortunate. But 1t is
worse than unfortunate that the de-
fender of the party in an issue OF the
senator's own raising for purely per
sonal and political reasons should be
this egregious politician from Mis-
souri,, who has been denounced by his
own party in that state for disloyalty
In 4 way Senator Stone is his own
answer. His futile effort to quibble
as TO certain state appointments only
sets out more clearly the unflinching
patriotism of Republican executives
If he invites comparison as to the
proportion OF Republicans in office
In the war service and their fitness
With the Democrats who have been
recognized. he will uncover as unsa-
vory a mess of favoritism as the
country has ever known-Philadel
