Don't DestrOy,'

As a Precept
Republication Urged to
Lift Hand in Defense of
Traditions by Which 1t
Has Preserved the Nation
One Word of Caution
Leaders Advised to Think
Well i'm Effort to Bring
Rest to ssWorn OUT u. S.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Amer!canization has ever been
the keynote of Rcpublcanism in this
grand United States-those of us who
have looked to the great Republican
party to conserve and develop the
forceful teachings and prccepts of the
founders of the Republic.
When Lincoln strove to cement the
principles of freedom and equality it
was through the media of the Repub-
Leans; When Roosevelt brought home
the. true bonds Of sympathy between
capital and labor and enunciated in a
sevenyear administration the truest
principles Of Amercanism, the Repub-
lican party Numbered on as the party
of leaders.
When our present decaying and tot
/ tering Administration was enveloped
and embroiled in bitter tussle to
| free democracies and monarchies from
their letters of demagogy and arti-
/ ticiality, was it not Republican and
the Republican principles that led the
! Administrations fight?
And now word of caution to the
Republican party and it's leaders:
Don't dare to destroy. Don't dare to
hinder and impede. Cast out your
lines, that all fish may take of your
bait. Cooperation with and assistance
to big business-that has been the
manstay and progress of our Republic
And lastly, but by no means the least
important, is true economy.
Develop our governmental operations
in the manner that vast business de-
velops and supervises theirs. Conserve
where waste is running rampant. Re-
duce departments and Investigations
and increase efficiency - but reduce
nothing that will impair efficiency for
the sake of advertised economy.
With what peace and tranquility the
whole world will look upon rehabili-
tated, reconstructed, rejuvenated Amer
lea, true to her destinies, true to her
promises, fulfilling the hopes, the as
pirations and the dreams Of her found
ers!
In order to form a more perfect
union to establish justice, insure do
mestic tranquility and secure the
blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity.
That is what our big, strong party Of
Lincoln and Roosevelt-the great, tried
and true Republican party--will bring
to nervous, tired and worn-out Amer
lea. LOUIS S. RAPPAPORT.

To the Editor of The Tribune.

Sir: How many realize that an
important political and governmental
issue will result from the completion
of the present census? The Constitu-
ton provides for the apportionment
of Representatives according to this
deccnnial enumeration, and in 1911
the House was increased from 391 to
ABS members. Does the country want
similar increase next year? Has
the Representative been so valuable
that we want more of his kind :?
Where does the Republican party
stand on the question?
In opposing the 1911 apportionment
act before the Senate, Mr.. Root de-
clared that it would aggravate the
old struggle which had gone on in
every popular government between
legislative efficiency and individual
liberty, and that the House would
either require arbitrary and tyran-
meal rules or else degenerate into a
mob. Furthermore, that body would
find it increasingly hard to reach
conclusions. Have Mr.. Roots predic-
tons been justified by the legislative
history of the last nine years? No
one who has followed events in Wash
ington can deny it.
This matter is inseparable from a

At Last, an Optimist!
Looks Kindly on Unrest

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l am inclined to take an opti-
mistic view Of our present economic
troubles. History shows that govern
ments are always struggling with prob
lens Of various kinds.
Our people have little fever just
now which has alarmed some Of the
more timid ones among US, BIZ. | think
we will be all right presently if we
keep quiet and don't founder about too
much.
We don't need much medicine-ccr-
tainly not as much as is being pre-
scribed for us. A good tonic, however,
would be beneficial, provided it were
fundamental and not palliative.
Everything in nature has a tendency
to seek an equilibrium, and our worst
trouble will attain this level as soon as
fair competition resumes its function.
So / am not very much alarmed for
the good old ship of state yet.

Abolish Note Writing

Realizing that vacillating policies

Government Pensions

Faithful and long continued service

the adoption by the Congress of a

To prevent financial chaos the Re-
