Republicans, except for few sporadic
outbursts. have kept pretty quiet about
the Roosevelt administration for the
eight months during which the Demo-
Gratis have been in complete charge of
the Government. So far not much has
been done looking to the congressional
campaign next year, although some re-
gional conferences have been held by
Chairman Everett Sanders of THE Re-
publican National Committee and his
aides. With Winter coming on apace,
however, it will not be very long before
the G. o. p. must 60 into action, and
the probability of meeting of the Ma
tional Committee early in the year, some
time after the assembly of Congress, is
being discussed. The Republicans are
still waiting for the Democrats to make
some issues for them. Naturally good
deal is going to depend upon the issues,
So far nothing very tangible has CROP
ped up-although there is potential dy-
Mantle in currency nf1ation-if ii
comes about-and In various phases OF
the recovery program, including the
huge expenditures for public works, the
artificial curtailment of crops and the
processing taxes-not to mention the
N. r. A. If the program proves sue
cess, then the Republicans will have to
turn elsewhere for issues, however.

One danger which the Republicans
are seeking to avoid is the interjection
of presidential politics into the G. o. p
discussions at this time There are sc
many factions In the party right now
however, that rebuilding of the organi.
zation into q harmonious machine fol
the congressional elections next veal
may be dtfdcult The immediate prob.
lem Of the Republicans is to conduct q
campaign which will make real inroad,

Windstorm Insurance

CENTURIES ago men
harnessed the wind to
grind and do other useful
work. The wind has prov
ed a wonderful aid to man.
But there are times when
it rises in its might and
causes terrific destruction
of lives and property. Not
only are the cyclone, hur-
ricane, and tornado great
destroyers but even a COM
paratively moderate wind
can do considerable dam
age. Windstorm Insur-
ance is the only sure pro-

a run, but in the beginning of
the ninth inning the North
East team pushed across 4
runs. Lucas pitched an excel
lent game, striking out Is bat

Northeasters but were unable
to come through with hits
when men were on base.

Il
Joseph T. Richards, engineer
who helped plan the Pennsyl-
vania railroad tunnels under
the Hudson river and the Phil
adelphia subway system, died
at Cape May, N. j., on Wednes-
day, May II. He was 8S years
Iold. Mr.. Richards was chief
engineer of maintenance for
the Pennsylvania from 1898 to
1915, when he retired, after
forty-six years with the rail-
road.
Among the major accomp-
lishments of Mr.. Richards en-
cheering career were the re-
pair of damage resulting to, the
railroad in the blizzard of 1888
and replacement of bridges af-
ter the Johnstown flood in
1889. He was chairman of the
committee which planned the
New York and Washington
terminals.
Joseph T. Richards was born
February IL, 1915 at the Rich
ards homestead, near Porters
Bridge, west of Rising Sun,
Cecil county, the eighth in de-
scent from DR.. Joseph Richards
a member of the Society of
Friends who came from Oxford
county, England, to settle near
Chester, Pa, about 1882. His
father, Isaac Richards, was a
farmer and surveyor.
After an education at West
Nottingham Academy, near his
fathers farm, Mr.. Richards en-
tered the engineering profess
sion, and in 1869 was a rod
man and transitman on the
Pennsylvania railroad during
the construction of shops at
Altoona, Pa. He served in var
ious capacities for the railroad
until 1874, as supervisor of a
division and as chief engineer
in locating and building minor
branch lines in Maryland.
After the disastrous John
ston flood of June, 1889, Mr..
Richards made a record in re-
constructing the Montgomery
bridge over the Susquehanna
river on the line of the Phila-
delphia and Erie Railroad.
He set up a span 1000 feet
long, while the river was still
raging, twenty-four to twenty
seven feet deep, in three and a
half days. Another of his
more notable feats was to move
away an old railroad bridge,
weighing 1,400 tons, over the
Schuylkill river at Philadelphia
and install a new one in two
minutes twenty-eight seconds.
Only thirteen minutes elapsed
between the passage of the
last train over the old structure
and the first train over the
new.
In 1873 Mr.. Richards mar
ried Martha Elizabeth Ernest,
of Chestertown, Kent county,
Md, and they had three child
rem, Mrs. Norman E. Essig, of
