THE REPUBLICAN SLOGAN
The Republican national conventioi
which will assemble at Chicago oi
June 8th will be in many respects th<
most important national gathering o
the party since in that great mid
west city which has been the scen<
of so many Republican national con
ventions, Lincoln was named for th<
Presidency in the historic wigwam or
the shores of Lake Michigan.
The convention will be of surpass
ing interest not only because of the
contest for the presidential nomina
tion, participated in by the adherent:
of so many strong candidates, but be
cause it is generally recognized tha
at this convention will be named th<
next president of the United States
and the platform adopted will fore
shadow the program to be develops
in Washington by executive and leg
islative branches of government dur
ing the next four years.
It is especially important that a
this important time the party subordi
nate individual aims and persona
ambitions to the general good of £
eause which is far larger and vastl:
more important than the interests o
desires of any indivdual or grou]
could be.
Healthful, wholescme rivalries foi
posts of party leadership within £
political party are a sign of vitality
and not of decadence. It is importan
that in such contests there should b<
a fair field and no favor or discrim
lnation.
But partisanship for individual:
should never become such an obses
sion that the larger good of part]
and of country arc forgotten in the
violence of support or antagonism.
It would scarcely be possible for th<
Republican party to make a mistak:
in the selection cf a standard bearei
this year, so strong is the field o
candidates at hand from which tc
make a selection. In the preliminarj
contests for election of delegates tc
the convention every candidate anc
element has been given a squar<
deal by the national party organiza
tion. The choice of a candidate
when made, will represent the delib
erate judgement of national Republi
canism.
Just at present the administration
organs throughout the country arc
making much of the theory that Re
publicans are again going to hand con
trol of the country over to a minority
party through a “split” or “bolt” ii
the convention, followed, possibly, b]
the formation of a “new party.”
In all these vain imaginings tin
wish is the father of the though
Seven years of Democratic malad
ministration are the fruitage of for
mer Republican division. With tha
object lesson before them Republican:
do not intend to commit again s<
calamitous an error.
Now, as never before, is a time fo:
Republican unity and harmony. It i
a time for sending to the rear al
factional leaders who place selfisl
personal interests and ambition
ahead of the general welfare of thi
party and country.
The nominee of the Chicago con
vention will'be the next President o
the United States. The Republicai
party is much stronger with the pec
pie of this country today than any in
dividual within or without the Reput
lican party. The people are anxiousl;
awaiting for the hour when they ma;
constitutionally turn the Democrat!
party out of power, and restore t<
national authority the alternativ
party which for half a century so in
telligcntly, faithfully, patriotically am
successfully served the nation.
"Watchful waiting wins” is not
almost as side-splitting a slogan a
"he kept us out of war” and "he wil
reduce the high cost of living.”
j SUGGESTIONS FOR THRIFT
L If you would like to do your part
toward chastening the high cost of
living in these days, we would sug
gest that you:
Keep a daily expense account, both
5 for ycurself and fer your family,
* showing all income and outgo.
Prepare a seven day budget, setting
as'de for the expenditures of the next
f week such sums as you think neces
a
sary.
1 Examine your budget every twenty
: four hours to ascertain wherein you
might have got by with less, and
where you can get satisfactory results
in future with a smaller sum.
Prepare a balance sheet each week
as to your expenditures, to see in
what particulars you culd have econo
mized and where you can economize
in the future.
Do all these things regularly daily
and weekly and apply the wisdom
gained to making your future opera
tions more systematic and efficient.
Then, at the end of a month or so,
; take the two dollars you have saved
and chase all the family out to a
movie.
: High prices have their origin, in
large measure, in waste and extrava
* gance. Just as soon as you and the
j rest of the folks who constitute this
nation begin to save, then prices will
come down with a bang.
Get a start now, for they are pretty

' i President Wilson seems to be de
": termined that as he goes down the
’ third time he is going to carry the
Democratic party with him.

Lincoln, Steffens not long ago was
pointing to the new Mexican constitu
- tion as the last word in political pro
> gress. The trouble with men of the
. Steffens type is that they do not un
i derstand that it takes something more
. than a mess of words to make good
; government.
Secretary of State Baindridge Col
by makes frequent speeches urging
j that the American people go to the
rescue of the rest of the world. After
the people of this country get rid of
the things that ail this government in
. November next they may have more
time to treat the diseases of Europe.

It seems strange that some of the
good people who are so anxious to
r
merge this republic with every other
nation on earth in a world govern
ment find so many obstacles to the
fusion of all the world’s religious
bodies, or even the branches of the
l I
Christian religion, or even the divi
r !
j. sions of single denominations, into
4 i one “broad” organization which would
stand for everything and nothing.
One of our associates in the world
1 war comes out of it with two million
square miles of additional territory.
r j We have been offered1 a mandate in
' : Armenia or a fragment of it, and a
protectorate Over the island of Yap.
51 The division is perfectly fair, we fur
! nish the altruism and the other fel
; lows get the territory and indemnities
^ and the right to call us “selfish,” and
to have that charge echoed by all the
mindless thinkers and denatured pa
1 triots in the U. S. A.

' Every common sense person knows
■ that in the present campaign one of
- the two major political parties will
■ succeed. Therefore every citizen
■ | who wishes to make his 'nfluence
jcount will affiliate himself with one
of the two parties that may be taken
1 into serious consideration with the
■ election result. And those who do not
wish the party now in power to con
r tinue in power will affiliate t.hem
1 selved with the one party organization
r which holds forth the prospect of a
change in the trend of national legis
' lation and administration.
The president wrote a letter to the
. Kansas Democratic state convention
t declaring that the issue of the cam
3 paign was whether or not the United
> States would fulfill its “solemn obli
gations” to “mankind.” A more im
’ mediate question is whether it isn’t
3 a “solemn” obligation of the United
1 States government to fulfill the prom
i ises made during the Liberty Loan
31 campaigns keeping the government’s
» first 4 1-4 Liberty Bonds at a higher
price than 85 cents. When we get that
- little thing done maybe we can give
[ a little more of our time to looking
i after the interests of the rest of
- humanity.
_ Senator Lodge led the ticket in
T Massachusetts for delegate-at-large to
T the Republican national convention,
3 while the delegates to Hie Democratic
5 national convention elected in the
3 state at the same primary are pledged
. to vote against endorsement of the
j un-Americanized covenant. The
Springfield, Mass., Republican admin
istration organ, seems to be justified
r in mentioning the “extreme recoil”
3 against the Wilson treaty polcy. The
1 queer thing is that even the rubber
stamp politicians and papers imagin
ed the people were going to stand per
petually for the eccentricities or the
Wilful One.
