Peace can be promoted by the limitation of arms and by the relation of the instrumentalities for peaceful settlement of controversies. But it will become a reality only through self-restraint and active effort in fl'iendliness and helpfulness. I covet for this administration a record of having further contributed to ad\--ance the cause of peace. In our form of demoracy the expression of the popular will can be effected only through the instrumentality of political parties. We maintain party government not to promote intolerant partisanship, but because op· portunity must be given for expression of the popular will, and organization provided for the execution of its mandates and for accountability of government to the people. It follows that the government both in the executive and the legislative branche:;, must carry out in good faith the p:atforms upon which the party was entrusted with power. But the gov· ermnent is that of the whole peopl e; the party is the instrument through which policies are determined and men chosen to bring them into being-. The animosities of elections should have no place in our goYernment for government must concern itself alone with the common weal. Action upon some of the proposals upon which the Republican party was returne<i to power, particularly further agricultural relief and limited changes in the tariff, cannot injustice to our farmer!:, our labor and our manufacturers be postponed.
