GRAND OLD PARTY IS COMING BACK

Republicans Getting Together to Fight Common Enemy. TIME RIPE FOR 6LAD REUNION

In This Connection the Republicans of Indiana Are Still Talking of That Wonderful Message of Inspiration and Conciliation Brought to the Party Reunion at Indianapolis By Former Governor of Kentucky. The Republicans of this locality are still talking about the speech made by former Governor Augustus E. Willson at the great Lincoln Day Republican reunion at Indianapolis, which in its - y - ~--rr- ' ; —— size and enthusiasm, so convincingly demonstrated the fact that the Republican party is not only coming back in Indiana, but that it has arrived and has begun to do business. Governor Willson came to the meeting with a carefully prepared message intended to meet the existing situation In Republican affairs. As the intimate friend and warm admirer of both Roosevelt and Taft, Governor Willson refused in 1912 to take any part in the fight between these two candidates for the Republican presidential nomination, and although he spoke for Taft in the campaign of 1912, he did it on the distinct understanding with the Republican state central committee of Kentucky that he was not to be expected to lambast Roosevelt. As a non-oom-batant in the “scrap” that disrupted

the Republican party, Governor Willson was able to speak in a judicial way of the controversy, and as a patriotic Republican suggest the way out Governor WlllSon, who was introduced to the big audience in Tomlinson hall in a few vigorous and well chosen words by former Mayor Bookwaiter of Indianapolis, who gave a brief address of welcome to the Republicans assembled from all over Indiana, said in part: A Sacred Patriotic Service. “In his Gettysburg address the dearest best loved and noblest words that ever fell from human lips, he made the appeal to his country which I say after him now, as a sacred patriotic service which should be said, on this Anniversary, to the end of time as the pledge and dedication of every citizen of our country forever. “May I ask everyone who hears my voice to rise, in token of our thanks to God, who gave Abraham Lincoln to our country, and stand, silent, while I repeat the pledge and dedication which he appealed to his countrymen to give? “Give ear to every word of this solemnappeal, and when I ask you if you do w'pledge, let the answer be from the heart and as tne spirit moves.

“ ‘lt is for us, the living, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have, thus far, so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to .the great task before us; that, from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave' the last full measure of devotion; that we, here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died In vain and that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people and for the people shall not perish from the earth.’ Pledge Fite Day. "I have presented this pledge to you because it fits the day, the hour and the oocasion. This ie not a meeting for dress parade or show or anything but an honest, earnest purpose, organized to free our country from the rule of the Democratic party, which has set the country back ten years and caused us troubles, the end of which no man can yet see. And it is not only an Important oocasion, but with that pledge holding good, it Is a memorable occasion. ‘T am a Republican; not a differentiated, sorted out, or any special brand of Republican, but just a plain Repub--11 can—one of seven millions of citizens who elected Roosevelt and Taft and who care a hundred times more for the Republican party than for either or both of them put together—ls they can be put together. “The Republican party is human, as well as humane, and not infallible, but it was and it is glorious, rich in honorably ambitions, high hopes, practical every-day, hard-headed common sense, great In wisdom, energy, Constructive statesmanship and, last and greatest, in patriotic faith, hope and courage In the work of saving and building up the greatest, richest, happiest and best oountry that ever blessed mankind. Wonders as to Outcome. “I was a little boy in New Albany when the boys in blue, in companies, regiments, brigades and divisions went south and Abraham Llnooln was president and Oliver P. Morton was governor of Indiana, and when Morgan made his raid and when the Knights of the Golden Circle, the night-riders of that day, were plotting against the Union, and sometimes I sit by the fire and thhlk over all that happened then end has happened since and Is going on now or expected soon, and I wonder

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN, RENSSELAER, DfD.

W hat will be the outoome and why ft has come oat as it has. i “Somehow I am met satisfied with the Idea that it is the Lord Almighty's way of teaching ns, or becanss ‘whom He loveth He ch&steneth.’ And then I come to the question, ‘Why is the Democratic party?’ I have wondered, tor fbrty years and more, and asked thousands of people in many meetings, why it is that the Democratic party, a great party, a great payer, great in vitality and grit, made up of American citizens, our kin, of the same forefathers, neighborhoods, associations, schools and churches, the same kind of liveß in the same kind of’work and, in short, the same kind of people, the same people, just as good as their neighbors—how is it that when organized in the Democratic party they have alwayß made suoh a sorry record, while their own kind of people and neighbors in the Republican party have made such a success of their control? Victim of Political Cranks. “The Democratic party, as an organization, has been the victim of-every political crank, the heir of every impossible theory of government, and the awful example of every serious political mistake in our times, and gets worse all the time. It hugged to its breast the monster of slavery in this land of liberty, and ‘for every drop of blood drawn by the lash we paid one drawn by the sword.’ It became the missionary of free trade between our country with high wages, and the rest of the world on half of our wages. It stood for the issue of paper money and free coinage of silver at a ratio fixed by statutory flat. Instead of by laws of exobange. It brought the country to ruin, in spite of good crops and everything else favorable, during each of Its four low tariff periods, while Hnder Republican party government the increase of the business and wealth of this country in the thirty years from 1860 to 1881 was $49,000,000,000, a billion more than the total wealth of England. “The failure of the Democratic party cannot be wholly due to Its presidents, for It has elected some great presidents; but not even Andrew Jackson, or Grover Cleveland, or Woodrow Wilson, can ‘make a silk purse out of a tow's ear,’ or a successful management of the national government out of the Democratic party. Ido not believe that the angel Gabriel would “think It worth while to blow his horn for our country while the Democratic organization was in control—not that I am anxious to hear it before we get the Democrats out In Full Charge. “The old southern Democratic party is In full charge of the government of the Union, with a severe southern Democrat as president and a Democratic congress and cabinet both controlled by the south, just as they were before the war, and we have a Democratic low tariff bill, or a low Demo-, oratic tariff bill, and a high income tax In force, with a dangerous Democratic paper money Inflation bill just goihg Into operation and a federal business commission about to be put over, regardless of states’ rights that our southern friends used to be so anxious about.

“And with these vital things there are some mere straws Just as significant For instance, ex-Senator Joe Blackburn of Kentucky, a typical southern Democrat loud In his hate of the Yankees and the Union, who for most of his life In public and In private, denounced, derided and maligned Abraham Lincoln and all he stood for, bat whose bark Is worse than his bite, has been appointed by the southern Democratic president as chairman of the oommission to erect a $2,000,000 memorial to Abraham Linooln, succeeding Abraham Lincoln’s friend, Senator Oullom, deceased, and has been voted by the southern Democratis congress a salary of $5,000 a year for it

“It is a condition, not a theory, ■which confronts us,’ President Cleveland said. And now the same old south, the same old Democratic party, with a keen, strong southern Democratic president, rules the Union. Its rooster never crowed louder or longer; its donkey never brayed or kicked harder. “And now we begin to see the practical results. Shops, mills, stores, banks, hopes, chances, plans and Improvements are all going Democratic.” Statistics and Reports. In some'detail Mr. Willson gave statistics and reports to show that living and financial conditions had become worse under Democratic rule. Speaking of the Republican split, he said he had not been willing to take sides in the Roosevelt-Taft controversy, because he believed it would mean the defeat of the Republican party and the bitter humiliation of both men. "They had no right to quarrel,” he said. “Much less at oui- expense.” “So I have oome to this meeting, although I realize how little any one man can do, to speak frankly, earnestly, honestly and fearlessly; to say that the Republican party seven million of Republicans so lately divided —are still Republicans; to reoall the glories of their united achievements and principles; te speak frankly of the things which led to division and defeat, and to hold out and to present to all the fact that they are still in the majority; that they are still Republicans In principle, and that those things which caused anger and division were not general or fundamental or based on questions of principle, but were purely personal controversies, which made the quarrel, the bitterest tu&rrel In human experitnoe—the famly quarrel.’*

A REAL LIVE TEACHER

The County Superintendent a Great ’ Factor in the Community Spirit.

[National Crop Improvement-' Service.] Mr. Gilbert F. Fites, Superintendent pf the Bon Homme County, S. D., schools, says: “1 wish to thank you for the receipt of the Rag Doll Corn Tester, the fac-slmile Com Testers, the Blotting Paper Tester and the certificate blanks, which you so kindly sent me some days ago. I am anxious to interest the people whom I serve to make this county one of Ihe best agricultural communities in the State.’’

He encloses ) several circulars showing the work among the schools. 6ne Is a premium list for the Farmers’ Institute under the joint management of the Farmers’ Institute Association and the County, Superintendent of Schools. It consists of prizes for men, in grain and vegetables; for women, sewing and baking; prizes for girls under 15 years for bread, cake, doughnuts, fancy work, etc.; and for rural school pupils open to all of the boys and girls, including ten ears of corn for the boys patching and darning contests for the girls. He has succeeded in interesting the merchants, bankers, citizens, etc., of every class in this exposition. .

In announcing December l&h as a special agricultural day, he Sggests for the little folks that the teachers interest them to make scrap books, showing pictures of blooded horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry: “The pictures may be cut from the various farm papers that are put out ia the city. If the variety is not large enough, get your boys and girls to send for sample copies of every farm paper that you can hear of. Get all of the people in the community Interested in the schools and ultimately in raising better breeds of horses, cattle, etc.” He also offers prizes for the best written articles to be read at the Corn show this same week. He is also issuing a pamphlet entitled, “For More and Better Corn,” and asks the boys to compare their best com with the pictures in the pamphlet and get them to point out.the difference. There are hundreds of County. Superintendents busily engaged in this work and we request that they send in a description of their plans for publication in the “County Agent.”

FARMERS’ CHAUTAUQUA

The Breeder’s Gazette Issue, December 4th, has an interesting article on the “Farmers’ Chautauqua.” We quote as follows: “What are farmers’ chautauquas? Of course we have had chautauquas for years; but the farmers’ chautauquas are brand new; they were born last summer. Seven of them have been held in Kentucky; the first in Kentucky, and probably the first in the world, was developed by Dr. H. H. Cherry of the Western State Normal School in Warren County. This initial farmers’ Chautauqua was such an instantaneous and unqualified success that three others were held later In the season at widely separated points in the same county. “One of the most important factors in the success of theig£ chautauquas for farmers is that none of them was held in a town or city, no matter how small and rural in Its tendencies. Every one of them was out in the country, and far out In the country. In fact, the last one, which closed its session early In October, was 614 miles from any town; and all of the others were from 9 to 12 miles out in the “God’s out of doors." Every effort was made to keep them strictly neighborhood affairs, rural affairs at their very befit; a place to enjoy picnic luncheons under the trees; a place to nieet old friends and new; a place «o get acquainted with experts and men who came from a distance; a place to realize that the State and Government Departments were closer than they had suspected. It was essentially a place to grow away from the old idea of the neighborhood with It many differences, social, political and religious, into the new idea of a community built solidly about some Ideal of co-operation.”

ALFALFA CLUB IN WILL CO., ILL.

For years Will County has had her corn clubs and these have been a potent factor In awakening interest in the new agriculture. Will County stands first in Illinois in the number of acres of corn over the 100 bushels mark. Through the com clubs much knowledge has been obtained, and with the same end in view regarding the alfalfa crop, we have Instituted our Will County Alfalfa Club. One of our leading business men, M. A. E Dlnet of Joliet has donated twenty dollars toward the fund for premiums. There will necessarily be two classes, the old and the new seedlings, and the first, second and third premium will be offered for the three best fields In each class. Rules governing the contest are yet to be dlvlsed. We shall welcome suggestions along this line.—9. C. Grannis, County Agent.

A FIG FOR EVERY BOY

The Department of Agriculture has aided Boys’ Pig Clubs to Its club work already consisting of Boys" Corn Clubs and Girls’ Canning Clubs. This work is to be started first in die south. There is no question but that the boys will be table to show their lathers some hew stunts In thb way of producing pork at a profit. This work ■ can and should be pushed all over the United States either through the Department of Agrienlture of through the County

JOHN Q. LEWIS, County Assessor.

For New Automobile Laws.

Automobllists are considerably interested In a bill recently Introduced at Albany. It is the result of conferences between the representatives of the Legislature and a committee of the New York State Automobilist Association, and Is said to be in many respects a model in securing uniform legislation. Among its provisions is the annual registration of all motor vehicles—and the payment of toss equivalent to those of other states. It Is proposed to put the fees on a sliding scale based on weight, so that they will range from two dollars for the lightest to probably fifteen dollars for the three ton touring car. it is also proposed to Insure a positive method of Identification by making all autos carry numbers on both front and rear, the number tags to be changed in color each year and to be Issued and provided by the Secretary of State. An entirely pew provision intended to protect the highways prohibits the use of non-sklddlng tire devices except when the roads are covered with Ice or snow or are In an otherwise dangerous condition. For the assistance of local magistrates in enforcing the law, provision is made that all records of convictions under the act shall be forwarded to the Secretary of State, who, In turn, will notify all county clerks of speed violations. The MU also provides that the Secretary of State shall file with each county clerk a list of registered owners and chauffeurs every thirty days, that local authorities may ascertain the names of those who violate the law. Any vehicle that usee fictitious numbers will have Its certificate of registration annulled and its chauffeur’s right to operate that or any other vehicle will be suspended. If the bUI becomes a law It will be a misdemeanor for any person to tamper with or use any automobile without the consent of its owners— Waverly (N. Y.) Free Press.

RHEUMATISM AND BRIGHT'S DISEASE

Prof. Budlong Was Quickly Relieved of Both Afflictions by Using Rheuma.

If you suffer from any form of rheumatism, remember that Rheuma goes to work quickly to remove the cause, not simply to relieve the distress. Many years’ use thus demonstrated that it goes to the seat of the disease and expels the poisonous matter through the natural channels—the kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. “For many years I was troubled with rheumatism, also with brights disease of the kidneys. I suffered awfully. Tried many advertised remedies. Aifter using your truly remarkable preparation, Rheuma, I was fully cured.”—Prof. C. J. Budlong, Sound Ciew, Conn. RHEUMA is guaranteed by B. F. Fendig, who sells it for 50 cents a bottle.
