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.

Remedy Applied.
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

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

questions which hav taken concrete form
In enormous combinations of capital and In

Is to use government regulation and super

Mr. Emory Dlapate.
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

aa Tfcey Will Civ
flaateaaaee.
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. (;
Josephine, . 7; Charles, 6, and Helen, 4.
attend the Train graded school. Anton,. S
years old, and Bessie, 1 year old, stay at
home, and days the -mother I away wash
ing one of the older children, has to stay
at home with them. 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.
