If Mr. Patten wishes to give a con* taglous building to the Bvaaston hosl pital and the Evanston hospital sees flt to accept the gift no one' could hare any valid objection but it ought not to be necessary to misrepresent the facts as they have been done in this case. A careful business man will in- vestigate the good to comet from his gift before giving and I dare say that a dollar; given to St. Francis will care for a sick person twice or three times as long as a dollar given to any pri- vate hospital.

Naturally, the readers.of the paper constitute its treasury of good will and may expect some- thing more than this brief announcement, and they are assured: The Inteb Ocean will be a newspaper in every sense of the word, printing all the news that should be printed in a family newspaper. The opinions of the editor will appear only on the editorial page, where they belong. The Inter Ocean will be Republican, because it believes in the principles of the Republican party, respects its traditions, reveres the mem- ory of its great leaders, and sincerely believes that this* great party has not outlived its useful- ness, and that, under the leadership of patriotic unselfish men, it will still be the party of prog- ress and sanity. Thb Inter Ocean will be inde] Republicanism and will vigoroi leadership of political spoilsmen, tives of special interests, or of self-seekers. It is not necessary to scuttle tl ship to rid it of some of the unsafory ere) have in the past ten years exercised too control in its management. For more than half a century the Republican party has been carrying the banner of true progress. In national history its record is a glorious one. At Gettysburg it stood with Lin- coln and battled for the Union; with Grant it stood for peace, xhe healing of sectional wounds and the resumption of specie payments; with Hayes it paved the way for the adoption of the merit principle in the civil service of the United States which was enacted into law dur- ing the administration of President Arthur and consecrated by the blood of the martyred Gar- field; with the beloved McKinley zt killed the heresy of Free Silver and the repudiation of our debts and pledged the country to maintain the Gold Standard. It has been sponsor for every forward moyement in legislation for the regula- tion and protection of American industries and labor, for the conservation of our natural re- bources and for the maintenance of the national In the face of such a record of great deeds a group ol fanatical theorists and political phan- 9BtM are engaged in an attempt to wreck the Re- publican party and subvert the very foundations of the Republic in order that they may seize the reins of government. The promoters of this so- called "crusade" have sought to cloak their sel- fish designs and-delude the public by the as- sumption of religiousfervor, the singing of re- Tival hymns and the blasphemous professions <£ m P II â- it super-righteousness interlarded with appeals to, p the noble and generous emotions of maukind. ..^J - Incredible as it may seem, the assaults of these political "crusaders" against the Republic**! party are directed by a leader who for jsqjjifar., ? thirty years has been the beneficiary of every honor within the party's and the people's gift They have seized on the term "Progress!veism, to express their flea-like energy of motion, and under its comprehensive wings they have gath- ered nearly all the "isms"'that pass for convift- tions in the minds of neophytes and bosses wbg^r% are battling at Armageddon for the offices ana , spoils. * .., , The people oLthe United States are aaked to abandon government by party and, in tho name of prfgress, adfptysjpvernment' &, the behest of who nit i select! ictions, iinseli summons his own conven- shall ait in them, rnoWi. leir platforms and /nominee. t *»> w^_____o to confess that the writa^l»iaw an admiration and affection for Theo-, dole Roosevelt for-which he has no excuse to make. Their friendship was nurtured in inti- mate mutual association with President McKin- ley and cemented in common grief <wit^hi*'Vpi timely and wicked assassination. Not untilMrf Roosevelt's better self was submerged in his overmastering ambition, so as to obliterate every sense of gratitude to his party and his preaMiVt* was it possible to conceive that anything could occur to break their cordial relatione. Bat in this matter the writer's experienee differs eiels* in degree from that of others of his fellow citi- zens and need not concern us further, The Inter Ocean believes in responsible party government as distinguished front 8jpvfrn« ment by even the ablest and most dlsihtereilea of individuals, or by the temporary passions of multitudes. Through party government tne British people have achieved the most democra- tic of monarchies, and through party govern- ment the United States of America has attained its pre-eminent position among the republics of the world, ancient or modern. It is sheer fatuity to propose to substitute the undigested theories of initiative, ref erendum and recall for the attested advantages of responsible representative government No crisis confronts the American people that calls for them to Aban- don the staunch ship of experience ftir the^«r perimental cockle-ehells of disfcOBseat^ Tsy^M; not sacrifice the substance for the iridescent shadow.
