"Writing as one who is probably the member of the Republican party organization longest in its continuous service which service began as long ago as 1870, before I was old enough to vote," said Dr. "I can say that, while there are some or Republicans in the United States, is no longer any Republican party." "These millions of so-called Republicans," he said, "are far from being in agreement on fundamental principles of party policy. This has been increasingly true for a number of years." "Elihu Root of New York, the ablest Republican of his time, was not in agreement upon any question of political principle or policy with either William E.

The War Department. Navy ami Post Office Department have set November 1 as the deadline for mailing Christinas gifts to the men overseas. Those who plan to mail packages have been asked that they be limited to about the size of an ordinary shoe box anil that they not exceed about six pounds in weight.

ADOPT DRASTIC RULES FOR TAXI0PERAT0RS Speed Limited to 40 MIMI and Trips to Not More Than 25 Miles. Washington, Aug. 29.

The government clamped strict regulations on the taxicab industry today in order to save tiles, gasoline and vehicles. In an order estimated to affect at least 50,000 vehicles, the Office of Defense transportation practically froze the industry in the hands of present operators, and put new sharp restrictions on their operations. The order, effective September 1, forbids cruising for the purpose of picking up passengers; prohibits a driver using his cab for social or recreational purposes, and prohibits the making of commercial deliveries of property. Other prohibitions include a maximum speed limit of 40 miles an hour, or any lower maximum limit in the jurisdiction in which the cab is operated; trips more than 10 miles beyond the corporate limits of the municipality in which the trip originated; trips more than 25 miles from the point of origin t.o the point of destination, ami operating a cab without distinctly marking it as such. No person not now operating a taxicab may place one in operation and no person now operating a cab service may increase the number of vehicles operated.

Taxicabs operating in any municipality having a group riding plan for taxicabs must participate in the plan wherever practicable. Exceptions to the order include the carrying of passengers to or from a funeral; transportation of passengers in connection with emergencies, such as an accident, sick president Roosevelt is so profoundly right that not a Russian plane was lost hirled into the air ilurin sizable majority given me makes me doubly humble in victory and multiplies my determination to dedicate my best efforts to our district, our State, and our National during the two years ahead two years filled with challenging problems for the people at home and the armed forces in the eld.
