W. J. Bryan, In The Commoner. The Chicago Tribune, the most in- lluential Republican paper west of New York, begins a leading editor ial In its issue of May 7, as fol'ows: The meeting of the Republi can national convention, which will lie in session in Chicago a month from today, will be :he most important meeting of re publican delegates tince the par ty was founded. The issues colli routing the countiy today are l'.illy its breat iis those which faced our lore .atlieis in 1800, while the influ ence of the republican delegates will be greater thirf year than it was at that time. In 18C0 It was the division of their oppon ents which gave i tie control of the nation to the republicans. This year it will be only a divis ion of republicans which will permit the government of the United States to remain in the hands of the democrats. Mr. Wilson is a minority pres ident. He received a trille un- . tier 0,300,000 votes, as compar ed to 7,000,000 and more cast lor Rosevelt and Taft together. Thus the progressive-republican vole v, as more than 1,300,000 greater than the democratic vote while it is probable that in their (actional bitterness both pro gressives voted lor Wilson in or der to secure the defeat of their pet aversion. It therefore appears mathe matically certain that if a car didate can be found who wil! iilease the voters who voted for Roosevelt and the voters who voted lor Tail, this person will iie the next president of the United States. If only one candidate is chosen to represent progressives and re publicans, Wilson will need t uold his entire 1912 vote and ap proximately 700, 0J0 votes from his opponents. It is just as well to look the facts in the face. The republican party, if united, can enter the campaign with a popular majority of 1,300,000 voles on its side. As a portion of this majority is made un of a large majority in a lew republican states, our parly's handicap is not quite as great as it appeal's, but it is still eiioiigh to compell serious considera tion. To the normal republican advan tage must be added the disaffection among Herman and Irish democrats. Without attempting to decide wheth er the president was wise or unwise in taking the course that alienated them, the party is controlled by the fact that this aleinatiou will cost it a largo number of votes enough to defeat the party in several close states. Urom what source can we draw the number of recruits necessary to give tlie party a fighting chance? From one source and from one source only namely, the peace element of the re publican party, we can not draw voles from the war element. There is a peace element in the republican party as shown by the tote cast for Henry Ford in Michi gan, Nebraska and other states. This is the only element to which the democratic party can appeal and to appeal to this element it will be nec essary to do more than has yet been done. If any considerable number of re publicans felt friendly to the presi dent they would have shown it by writing his name as their choice when they expressed themselves at the primary. If this element is to be conciliated it must be done by a move toward peace. The oportunity is here. The German government, in accepting this government's position in the sub marine controversy, gives as one of its reasons for doing so its unwill ingness to be responsible for extend ing or spreading the war. It refers to the fact that it has twice express ed a desire to consider terms of peace. The way is open. Will the president take advantage of the op portunity? Failure to secure peace would bring no humiliation while success would be of tremendous ad vantage to him politically, as well as a blessing to this country and the world. He can at one stroke destroy all the advantage the republican par ty now has and make the race on the record of a paecemaker. Will he give voice to the world's conscien ce to humanity's hopes? In view of continued campaign statements, made by Governor Wil lis, who has been dally on the plump since February, it appears that Un political falsity of 1914 Is to be re peated in 19 16. Unable to show a single act of his administration that points to executive ability, the good young governor hopes by much rep etition of misstatement to again make the people of Ohio believe thut which is not true. The other day a representative of the Scripps-McRae league of news papers asked former governor Cox, among other things, what would be the issues of tlie campaign. This was his reply. "The leading Issue, in my judgment, at least, will be whether the governor of the state or a candidate for that pos ition should practice common honesty with the voters. It is known now by every one who seeks and values the truth, whether certain representations of the campaign of 1914 were false or Hue. This feature will overshadow everything else." The public statements of governor Willis in fact make this an issue of even greater importance than the ad mitted incompetency of the present chief executive. The claim of savings affected by Willis is met by tlie ollicial records which show that he has actually spent more money by nearly three millions than did his predecessor, and yet there is a baiauce accounted for by the Republican state treas urer which still stands to brand the lie upon the campaign statement or 1914 that tlie state treasury was bankiupt. The claim of reduced sal aries is not borne out by facts but is confronted by evidence that the governor has successfully resisted the e;foi t to reduce his own pay and that of his immediate subordinates. Tlie claim of legislative reforms is met by the Cass muddle and the mud holes it produced; by the increased tax rales in nearly every subdivis ion of the state; by the broken prom ises to labor and the repeal of laws it took laoor thirty years to get; by the assault on the workmen's com pensation law; by the civil service fraud so palpable that it is assailed by members of the legislature which ...is forced to pass it for the raid on the public service; by the agricultur al board law, which made forty jobs lor politicians where but five grew before; and which cost the state thousands of dollars to make up de ncus oi the first year. And so on indefinitely might the Wilis admin isi ration be arraigned, iahse in one tiling, false in all. By continued dis regard of the truth, it hopes to again fool the people nad live anew to shame the state.

In the Survey, Mrs. Florence Kel- ley relates a story of her experience with Joseph Choate and Louis Bran dies in 1907, when the Oregon law limiting tlie working hours of women wtis before the supreme court. Says Mrs. Kelley: "Joseph H. Choate was Invited by the Attorney General of Oregon to join in defending the Oregon 10-hour law for women in a case then pend ing before the supreme court. Jose phine Glodmark and I conveyed the invitation to Mr. Choate, who declin ed courteously, explaining that he could see no reason why a "great husky Irish woman should not work more than 10 hours in one day if her employer wished her to do so. Mr. Brandies was then retained to defend the suit. His victory made possible the regulation of the hours of women in every state in the union WHY' AMERICA IS UKEAT One reason why America Is so great is because she leads all the countries of the world in the produc tion of coal, iron, steel, copper, sil ver and oil. She is also the cham pion producer of cotton, corn, wheat, oats, hay and tobacco and is second to South Africa In the production of gold. Moreover our people are con stantly producing wealth and are not wasting their time and substance in shooting at each other and destroy ing life and property. Memphis News-Scimitar. All that may be true, but that is not tlie principal reason why America is great. Take away the churches, the schools, the libraries, the lec tures, the charities, and the coal, iron and copper wouldn't amount to a hill of beans. When this country's great ness becomes thoroughly materialis tic its days are numbered. There is the danger line which we will have to avoid, and every organized in fluence in a community should as sist the nation to steer clear of it. If we do nothing but produce wealth, some day will come when we will engage in .shooting at each other. Ohio Slate Journal. ( Lima Times-Democrat When the republican party assem bles next month to choose a candi date they will be in the sad shape as were the democrats in 189C. They will have no idea whatever who they will name, what platform they will adept and on what issues they will conduct their campaign. They will know one thing, however, and that is that Roosevelt cannot be ignored. Imagine the G. O. I', as a ship. On the lop deck is tied the old steam roller, not, so effective as in 1912. Not Root, but Harding is at the throt tle. Steam has been worked up and there is plenty of force to tlie mach ine. Tlie bridge is empty but down the wharf comes the Republican nominee to assume charge of the voy age through political witters. Above tlie surface of the stream appears a periscope. It is the Pro gresssive submarine. The submersi ble arises to run awash. The hatch opens and the alleged hero of San Juan sticks out bis head. Seeing tlie chosen captain mount to the bridge, he calls down to the crew: "Launch i whitehead through the starboard tube." ir the republicans nave any cause to display pleasant anticipation over that convention, it has been carefully doaked. They must either accept Roosevelt and go down on a third term platform, or reject him and be torpedoed. He is perhaps not strong enough to run the party, but he litis shown that he can easilly wreck it. And as he Is the only opponent of the Wilson adininis tration, who furnishes a deancut iS' sue, ne must be reckoned with as a power. The republicans may have issues tgainst Wilson, but they are all in contradiction Willi one another. They may have candidal eft, but they are opposed to Wilson for widely diver gent reasons, and no party can rec oncile jingoism and pacificism. But they have one candidate whom they dare not underestimate, for his poli tical theory is that of rule or ruin. It'll lie a bitter pill, but the party must swallow it or die.

There is no reason to fear indus trial depression in the United States lifter the war in iOuropo ends, in the opinion of Secretary Redfield, of the Department of Commerce. In reply to a suggestion from Assistant Sec retary Malbiirn, of the Treasury De partment, that the American people are in danger of overlooking prepar edness for peace. Secretary Red field points out that the country's so-called war business probably does not exceetl live per cent of its total industrial anil commercial activ ity, and while readjustments after the war will be necessary and per haps serious, the relative importance of the war business is generally overestimated. It does not exceed a quarter of our exports, says the Secretary, and pos sibly is not quite that much. Our shipments to South America, for ex ample, have at least doubled.

The Roose velt panic of 1'9U7 was a result of bad Republican party government In times of peace und plenty. The pros perity of 1916 is due to good Dem ocratic party government in times f stress and storm never before dreamed of among men. Don't for get that. The great thing the government lias ever done for business men In the history of (lie country was the enactment of the currency law. It was something the republicans had talked about for twenty years, but it was not until tlie Democrats came into power that It went on the stat ute books. Now under the leader ship of Woodrow Wilson, Congress is taking the llnal steps -of establish ing a rational system of rural cred its. It will do for the farmers what the currency law has done for the business men. Republicans also talked about rural credits. But tilery was no action until the Demo crats took hold.
