The Republican Record Since 1913.
The Republicans have now been in
control of the senate and the house
for more than a year. They won
the election Of 1918 upon the faith
they would earnestly support the
president, at least, until the tasks
of war were finished. 1t was their
contention that they would enter
upon the work Of reconstruction with
superior intelligence and even with
greater patriotism than would be
possible under Democratic leadership.
They gav publicity. when they en-
, tered upon the recent session, to de-
to their program. II we are to be
judged, as l hope we may be, by the
record. let them also be judged by
the record. What have the Republi-
cans accomplished since their poll
teal success in 1918? What benefic-
ial results have lowed to the Ameri-
can people? What promises have
been redeemed? What progress has
been made in the settlement of for
eign or domestic questions?
Twice the president went bcfc

hostilities. calling attention to need

Of laws relating to profiteering;

II Republican leaders are not able
to rejoice with US in this American
triumph. they should have the grace
in the mouths of those who conduct
ed the Spanish-American war to in

not n single Democratic Official has

The very power Of the Republican
party to conduct a partisan ~investlga-
ton of the war. to crtticise the presi-
dent. to control the organization Of
the senate and to wreck the prospect
of world peace, rests upon a bare
majority of one. secured through the

The Cost OF the War.
There are men 81 small in spirit,
so pitifully cramped in soul, that
they suggest that the war cost too
much. The Republican platform

an expensive war. War is the most
wasteful thing in the world. But is
money to be measured against the
blood of American soldiers? Would
it not be better to spend a billion
dollars for shells that were never ex-
ploded, than to have one American
boy on The firing line minus an es-
sential cartridge? Was it not better
to prepare for a long war and make
it short. than to prepare for a short
war II make it long? When criti-
cism is lad of the expense of war,
let us not forget that we bought with
it the freedom and the safety Of the
civilization of the world.

The foregoing figures show decreased death rate and

4 comparison Of pre-war statistics shows that the
japanese birth rate only exceeded by Hungary and

The best understood comparison perhaps, would be
between Great Britain and Japan
The former with 100000 population has net annual
increase Of 35OOOO
Japan with 100000 inhabitants has net increase
Of 6i9.774
With population less than % per cent greater than
Britain Japan's birth rate is 10 per cent. greater.
There is no doubt that Japan has tremendous over
crowdng problem
AS her people increase In education and Intelligence
they are demanding better living conditions and more

INVESTIGATE COST
OF PROVIDING MILK

Proposed activities for 1920 were dis
cussed at a meeting Of the New Castle
County Farm Bureau held at the Secur-
ity Trust and Safe Deposit Company
Saturday afternoon.
A feature OF the session was an ad-
iress by John S ROssell, president OF
the trust company and Of the Delaware
state Bankers Association, which IS
cooperating with the bureau. Frank
Year4ey, president Of the bureau, pre-
sided.
The bureau has received an appro-
priation Of $1,000 with which a gov
ernment veterinarian has been employ
ed and il was stated at the meeting that
those farmers who wish TO nave their
herds tested for tuberculosis should be
encouraged to take advantage OF the
veterinarians services. As records are
heing kept only on 900 cows, through
testing associations and there are 25,-
900 cows in the county. il Is felt that
record-keeplng should be more gener-
ally employed. The INVESTIGATION now
being made covering the cost OF produc-
Ing milk in the county will receive the
hearty support of the Farm Bureau.

In order to obtain through the vote at

TO the cruel crime Of delay which he
has so persistently employed in his APP

NIT a single reservation defining or

President is now willing to allow the
