Conrasr Bring Sncceaa. A we thus call up the past and the echoes of these old conflicts again sound In our ears and touch the chords of mem ory, on great fact stands forth, clear and shining. The republican party has never failed, except when It has faltered. Our long career of victory, so rarely broken, has been duo to our meeting boldly each question as It arose, to our faatng every danger, as It crossed our path, with entlrs courage, fearless of consequences and de termined only to be true to the principles which brought the party Into existence and to the spirit which has Inspired It from Its birth. We faced secession rather than assent to the extension of slaverv. Rather than submit to secession, we took up the dread burden of civil war. But a few years ago wo permitted thousands of re publicans to leave us, thereby Imperiling our political power rather than abandon the gold standard and plunge the country Into dimeter and dishonor. In these latest year as In the most re mote, w hsve been true to our traditions. In th process of development a point was reached where th country was confronted by a situation more perilous than any It has ever faced except In the civil war and w republicans were, therefore, obliged to deal with problems of the most complex and difficult character. To our honor, be It said, we hav not shrunk from the task. Much has been don much, no doubt, still remains to do but the great underlying principles have been established and unon them we can build, as necessity arises, carefully and de liberately. I hav spoken of the seriousness of th situation with which the country was con fronted. Its gravity can hardly be over estimated. It grew out of conditions and waa th result of forces beyond the control of men. Science and Invention, the two great factors In this situation, have not only altered radically, human envlorraent and our relatione to nature, but. in their application, they Jiave. revolutionised econ omic conditions, ..These changed economic conditions hsve. In turn, effected pro foundly society and politics. They have led, among other things, to combinations of ahltal and labor on a scale and with a power never before witnessed. They hav ' opened the way to accumulations of wealth In masses beyond the dresma of avarice, and never before contemplated by men. Problem Essentially New, The social and political problems thus created, are wholly new. II lia fallacy to suppose that because the elements are old th problem Itself must, therefore, differ only In degree from those which hav gone before. The elements may be old but th problem presented by a change In th proportion of th element may be. -.. mi. twin , . oni.TTiy iivit. Great Individual fortunes and rich men are, it la true, as old aa recorded history. Nearly t.ono year ago th tax farmer of Rome formed a "trust" for their own pro fit and protection: th English dsodI. three centuries ago, revolted against the patents and monopolies granted by Elisabeth and jamee to their courtiers and monopolists. forestalled and speculator In th neces sities of life were a curse .In our revolution and bitterly denounced by Washington Yet, It Is none th less true that th same things today present questions different In JUnO as well as in degree from their pre decessor. It la th hugs also of private fortunes, tne vast extent and power or modern com l I nations of capital,' made possible by pres ent conditions, which have brought upon us, In these later years, problems porten toua In their possibilities, and threatening not only our social and political welfare, but even our personal freedom.

To those who looked beneath the surface en ominous unrest Was apparent. Thu violent counsels of violent men. who aimed at the destruction of property and the overthrow of law, began to bo heard and harkened to. The great order-loving. Indus trious masses of th ' American people turned away from these, advocate of vio lence but, at the same time, demanded that their government should give them, In lawful, and reasonable ways, the protec tion to which they were entitled, against the dangers they Justly apprehended. Th great duty of fulfilling these rlght eoua demands, like all the great public services of the Isst half century,- was Im posed uoon the republican party and they iave not flinched from the burden. T'nder he lead of th president, the new repub lican party has grappled with th new problems, born of the new conditions. It tas Deen no ngni tana. ianptpruue ex remes threatened on either hand. On the one side wer the radical of reaction, who resisted any change at all:, on the other side were th radicals of destruction, who wished to change everything.. These two lurms oi rvuioaiwm bio on nil i th outset aa the poles, but. when carried out, they lead alike to revolution. Be tween these two extremes the republican congress was compelled to steer, and while they advanced steadily, sooerty ana et fectlvely, they -were obliged to repel th radical assaults on either hand.. Tet. notwithstanding all These difficulties? much has been accomplished. .Tho response of the people to the pollrte Urged by the president has been so emphatic that It has fceen made clear, one for all. that th gov ernment of the United State 1 never to b dominated by money and financial In terests, and that the political party wnicn permits Itself to be ruled by them Is thereby doomed to defeat.. Th policy of th republican party. In dealing with these new and formidable questions which hav taken concrete form In enormous combinations of capital and In great public service c-rporations, nas neen formulated and determined.

A somewhat lively colloquy resulted when Mr. Ooropers look up th record of injunc tions. He disputed the statement made yesterday to the full committee by Mr. Emory, representing the National Manu facturers' association, to th effect that li.htAn fntnnrttons on labor was the fed eral record for fifteen years. Mr. Gompers charged that Mr. Emory knew this to b a misrepresentation. To this Mr. Emory, who was present, strenuously objected, and when Mr. Gompers had concluded h was given an opportunity to b heard again, He said ln his previous statement he had takeo the record furnished congress by Mr. Gompers. His own figures were, he said, twenty Injunctions In labor disputes ln five yesrs. Mr. Emory took occasion to repeat his points of yesterday. Mr. Van Cleave, who heads the manufacturers' association, and Mr. Smith of the Illinois association were both given a word :n conclusion In opposi tion to the Injunction plank. Both called attention to previous failures of labor to accomplish results on election day and urged the committee to look ft the ques tion without fear.

Living In a squalid three-room house In th hollow below South Eighth street, at 1907. deserted by her husband, who Is thought to have run away with another woman, Mrs. Antonla Swoboda, the mother -of nine children already, I striving by the aid of her eldest little girl. 14 year of age, to ek out a bare existence. The case wa reported to The Be Wednesday by Mr. M. Beran, 4t 8outh Thirteenth street, and Investigation proved pitiable circumstance and aquallld condi tions. Ragged, but clean, the nine children clustered around thatr mother as she told her story, the eldest girl acting as In terpreter. Mr. Swoboda I a Bohemian and can not talk English and understand It but lightly. Joseph Swoboda. th husband and father, left home on the night of April 2J, without bidding his family farewell. The next morn ing a certain woman to whom th man had paid some attention left without taking leave of anyone. The family draw the supposition from this that the husband and father Is with this woman. Swoboda took hi personal belonging with him and did not leave hi family one cent of money or provisions of any character in the house. Mrs. Swoboda wa then compelled to go to work and for a month did three wash ings a week. The last two weeks she has been able, owing to her physical condition to do but two washings In a week, for which she received 75 cents each. This turn wa entirely Inadequate and little -Ann. 14 years old, went to work ln th Klrken dall shoe factory, where she earned 14 a week. Lately the factory ha closed Sat urday afternoons and tier wages were cut to $3.60. Another shortening of time ha now been mad and the little girl waa told not to work Wednesday afternoon, and her wages this week will be proportionately smaller. The other eight children ar toe young to help earn anything for the sus tenance of the family. Children In School. Anna was tn the A class of the Eighth grade ln. school when she was compelled to leave and go to work. Frank, 12, Is In the Eighth grade In the St. Wencelaus parochial school. Mary. 11; Joseph.

Anna saya ah trie to study at horn nights, but h has to help her mother a much "as possible and has but little time for study. 1 The Bee promptly reported the case to Commissioner Brunlng, and he said he would start the County machinery to work at once, ar.d provide help for the destitute family. The Bee then reported the matter to Superintendent Morris of the Associated Charities, and he at once called up th county store and gave Instructions that provisions be sent to the home first thing In the morning. Instructing one of the emergency officers to take provision and coal to the Swobodaa- befor any other affairs ' were attended to. The superln tehflnt,"aW,?ormTiuntcated with the Visit ing . Nurses; and- they -will see to that Mrs. Swoboda ha care at the time' of her confinement. '"''" Superintendent Morrl ha a record of the family and says that Mrs. Swoboda Is honest and Industrious. The little girl, Anna, was In the juvenile court a year ago for working contrary to the child labor law, she at that time being but 13 years ot age. She was placed ln school, and the Associated Charities gave the family help for a short time and paid the house rent until the husband procured em ployment. Swoboda formerly .worked at the smelter, but lost his health and post tlon through lead-poisoning. Anna says they have received two letters from her father since he left nearly a couple of month ago, both letters being mailed from Morrill. He simply wrote that he was "on ' the prairies," but sent his family no money, and said nothing of being at work or of coming back home.
