Under a parlia- mentary system like that which ob- tains in Great Britain or in France, the government of the day put to the house of commons or the chamber of deputies the question of confidence or no confidence.

It consists, in the first place, of bemoaning the fact that such unpleasant topics should be forced on polite ears. Why not for- get about them? Why not say as little about them as possible? Why not pretend that they were simple indiscretions which should be over- Jooked when there is sign of repent- ance?

What they did or failed to do cannot fustly be omitted when the record of that party is re- | viewed. Diligence in enforcing the law against the guilty is fortunately not an uncommon virtue in our public lite.

But I do not understand upon what theory it can be claimed as a trilumph for an administration which expressly and publicly disclaimed in advance all re- sponsibility direct or indirect for the action of tliose concerned: nor can 1 fail to remember the long and dreary years since the war during which the appeal of Europe for nothing more than our counsel fell upon deaf ears, What might we not have done had we but dared to do!

The only way finally to banish war from:the world is to set up some permanent plan of cone ference, consultation and adjustment to take its place as arbiter among the nations. How Parties Differ. “Some of the points in which the | republican and the democratic par- ties differ are already clear. They lwlll become plainer still as this cam- |paign proceeds. 'For instance, we know now that some republicans hold | ‘!hat tf a political party has placed land kept corrupt men in office its re- sponsibility is over when a prosecu- tion is begun., We insist that unless political parties are held to political | ‘r»sponsihlllty. party government will become a farce and a failure. | “They think that when the public | i resources have been squandered and bartered away a lawsuit to recover them, ‘it illegally acquired,’ is suffi- cient amends. We would rather keep {the public domain than sue for its | recovery. | “They outwardly deplore special | privilege, except in the sacred guise of a protective tariff. We oppose it lin this and every other form. “They believe the Fordney-Me- !Cumber act is beyond reproach. We |say it is an outrageous imposition on the consuming public. “They believe, or profess to believe, that exhausted Europe waits to over- whelm us with an avalanche of mer- chandise. We are at a loss to know {how Kurope is to pay its debts or buy our produce if some one does not take its goods, “They believe, or profess to believe, | that agriculture should be on an | economic basis with other industries. They have no plans to this end but |the appointment of a committes to investigate, and advice that the farm- er provide himself with leaders not interested in politics. We think that the first step to economic equality is to deprive others of their unjust ad- vantages. ! “They are content to conduct the affairs of the United States through private citizens, unofficially observ- ing. We think America is great enough to speak in her own name. “They propose now, after nearly four years of absolute inaction, to en- roll the United States as a member of the court of international justice: We promise to do so as soon as power is in our hande. “They present a party made up of a president facing in one direction, & congress in another and the rank and file scattered in between.
