Financial Achievements

review of the record of the Demo-
cratic party during the Administration
Of Woodrow Wilson presents a chapter
of substantial achievements unsur-
passed in the history Of the Republic.
For fifty years before the advent of
this administration periodical convul-
sions had impeded the industrial prog
ress of the American people and caused
lnestlmable loss and distress.
BY the enactment of the Federal
Reserve act, the old system, which
system, which insured confidence. 1t
was an indispensable factor in winning
the war, and to-day it is the hope and
inspiration of business.
indeed, one vital danger against
which the American people should keep
constantly on guard is the commitment
OF this system to partisan enemies who
struggled against its adoption and
valnly attempted to retain in the hands
OF speculative bankers a monopoly of
the currency and credits of the ma
ton. Already there are well-defined
lndlcatlons OF an assault upon the vital
princlples OF the system in the event
OF Republican success in the elections
in November.
Under Democratic leadership the
American people successfully financed
thelr stupendous part in the create st
war Of all time. The Treasury wisely
insisted during the war upon meeting
an adequate portion Of the war expen-
dlture from current taxes and the bulk
OF the balance from popular loans. and,
during the first fiscal year after fight
ing stopped, upon meeting current ex-
pendltures from current receipts not

burdens thrown upon the Treasury by
the delay, obstruction and extrava-
gance Of Republican Congress.

nave used courageously, though eau
tlously, the instruments at their dis

credit in the country AS a result
Of these sound Treasury and Federal
Reserve policies the inevitable war

prevented from increasing here in pro-
portion to the increase in other bel

After year and half of fighting

the United States stands unimpaircd

Improved Highways
Improved roads are of vital inn
portancc not only to commerce and in
dustry, but also TO agriculture and
rural life. The Federal road act Of
1916, enacted by Democratic Con-
grcss, represented the first systematic
effort of the government to insure the
building Of an adequate system of
roads in this country. The act, as
amended, has resulted in placing the
movement for improved highways on q
every state in the Union and in bring
irg under actual construction m ore

traffic needs of the communities in
which they are located.

il determining the ratio in which the
several states shall be entitled to share

we declare that this instrumentalty

The United States is the neighbor
and friend of the nations Of the three
Americas. In very special sense our
international relations in this heml-
sphere should be characterized by good
will and free from any possible sus-

The Admin stration, remem boring al

nation and that permanent stability in
her government and her institutions
could come only from the consent Of
her own people to government Of
their own making has been unwilling
either to profit by the misfortuncs OF

And yet, with the war successfully

Republican party in Congress, far

the country on the amazing achieve

We call attention to the failure of
the Republican National Convention to

VeIopment of barge transportation on
our inland waterways, which develop-

policies OF the Democratic Administers
ton, and we pledge ourselves 10 the
further development of ADEQUATE
transportation facilities on our rivers
and to the further Improvement of our
inland waterways, and we recognize
the importance of connecting the
Great Lakes with the sea by way of
the Mississippi River and its tribu-
I ", TO- as wei as Dy the st. Lawrence
Rlver. We favor an enterprising for
elgn trade policy with all nations. and
IN this connection we favor the full
utllization of all Atlantic, Gulf and
Paclhc ports and an equitable distri-
button OF shipping facilities between
the various ports.
transportation remains an increas-
ingly vital problem in the continued
development and prosperity of the ma
non. Our present facilities for dis
trlbution by rail are inadequate, and
the promotion Of trans portation bv
water is imperative.
We therefore favor a liberal and
comprehensive policy for the develop
ment and utilization of our harbors
and interior waterways.

Comic Section Will Appear Each Sunday as Added
 Feature

There was time in the affairs of men when no one but genius could afford to neglect his personal appearance. But that time has pass ed. All of the geniuses passed away when Greenwich Village was cleaned out and rejuvenated into high rent ing business houses.
 Now, no one can hope for success and neglect his personal appearance. To be we'll dressed is in keeping with the spirit of the age. Consult any clothing store advertisement And of all periods, the Easter occasion is the time for dressing up.
 All of which is but prologue to statement that the Graphic, in keeping with it's policy to keep al- ways with the spirit of the times, and to be in the vanguard of every progressive movement, is taking Easter Sunday as the special occa- sion for dressing up."

 Gerald Rogers, aged 3, and his bro- ther Kenneth, 1, died of some very strange malady which is puzzling To- cal physicians. Ellen, the sister, z years old, lies at the point of death from the same disease, and Roland, another brother, is ill in bed. Ellen is so ill that she seldom speaks or moves. When the undertaken ap- preached her she gave no evidence Of life and the family holds him blame less for the error.

 pr. F. c. Robb, who was at the bedside of one of the little boys when he died, declared that death was due to diphtheria, but Dr. W. W.

Both Dr. Butman and Dr. Robb took cultures from the bod ies of the dead children and also from Ellen, and will have them analy- zed by the city health department. The health department will make a complete investigation of the case.
