A Democratic Platform Accident
Democrats in Congress are not wait
ing until after the election in taking
issue with their own platform. This
is "progressive," since their rule al
ways has been to wait until after get
ting in. But this is an era of over
confidence in Democratic circles. Last
Saturday Congressman Fitzgerald of a
New York City district, was remind

CUB
that he was out of line with the Balt
imore platform in opposing legislation
to prevent selling options on the cot
ton crop. "I decline to withdraw my
opposition to he bill," said Mr. Fitz
gerald. "I believe it is unwise and
improper legislation. A declaration in
a platform adopted at Baltimore or
elsewhere will not control my action
in a legislative capacity when I be
lieve, on the, subject of such legisla
tion, that it is beyond the power of
Congress." He cited decisions of the
Supreme Court declaring such legis
lation unconstitutional.
He succeeded in shifting the issue
from one between the Baltimore plat
form and himself to one between the
constitution and the Baltimore plat
form. As for him, he would stand
by the constitution. This, in itself,
can not be criticized. As between the
constitution and the Baltimore plat
form nobody will deny that the con
stitution was here first. But Mr. Hen
ry of Texas was for giving the coun
try a guarantee, in advance of the
election, that Democrats in Congress
are standing on the Baltimore plat
form anyhow. "I appeal to all Dem
ocrats to begin now to carry out the
pledges of the party made in that con
vention," he said. Mr. Hobson of Al
abama sailed into the discussion as
gallantly as he did into the harbor of
Santiago, and tried to sink Fitzger
ald as he did the Merrimac. "It
comes with poor grace from any Dem
ocrat," said he, "to begin criticizing
our platform, or an section of it, de
claring it unconstitutional before it is
even cold -from the convention. This
bill carries out a plank of that plat
form and is therefore binding on Dem
ocrats." Fitzgerald would have gone down
like the Merrimac if he had not
found opportunity of getting and
reading a copy of the Baltimore plank.
In it he found that adjective "perni
cious" had been used as a qualifying
term, and instead of sinking he rose
out of the water. "I am in accord
with that provision of the platform,"
he said. "I did not recall the exact
wording of the platform when it was
mentioned by the gentleman from
Texas. The platform declaration
does not mean that every bill propos
ing to - accomplish certain results is
legislation which a party man is" com
pelled To suport because of that pro
vision in the platform. I deny that

FORUM OF THE PEOPLE
STREET WORK CRITICIZED
Oregon City Enterprise,
To the Editor: I would like just
a little space in your paper to regist
er a great big kick, on the way the
Molalla road is being fixed. When 1
came home from town yesterday aft
ernoon about 4 p. m. I stopped and
was talking, with a man working there
spreading crushed rock. While I was i
there a man came along with a big I
load of wood. Well he could not i
drive on the rock so he had to drive
on the side and I thought he surely
would turn, over into a big ditch by
the side of the so-called road. Now I
don't know wno'is responsible for the
way that work is being done, but I
do know whoever it is has not much
brains as a road builder but.l .am
going to suppose it is the Honorable
Mayor, City Council and City Engi
neer. The engineer did his work all
right; if the city "dads" will do theirs
as well then .we could have a decent
road, but the way it is being done is
simply a disgrace to any set of city
"dads" of Oregon City or Clackamas
County. If the contract had been let
to some good man or hired such a
man as Frank Jaggar to build it, then
the farriTers of the county could have
had a decent road to travel over go
ing to Oregon City, but if it is com
pleted as it is started, we have got
nothing, only a dangerous death-trap
to travel over, for when it becomes
wet a rig will slip off into those deep
ditches and upset and kill or hurt
people. The rock road is too narrow
for teams and autos to pass on and
let both of them stay on the rock
road, consequently the auto will stay
on the lock and the woman and the
buggy will be the ones to go in the
ditch. Where if that crushed rock
was put clear across, there would be
room enough for all without sliding
into the ditch, but I hope it will not
be a woman and baby that will be the
first ones to tip over but that it may
be Honorable Mayor and Council all
in a heap. Then they will be where
they belong for giving us farmers of
Clackamas County such a damnable
piece of road to travel over. That
road has been a disgrace to the coun
ty and state ever since fhave been
here, and it always will be till it is
made right and wide like any street
should be made. We farmers try to
give you city "dads" at least half
way deecnt roads in the country when
we build a rock road, now we would
like to have you return the compli
ment. If you want the farmers -to
vote bonds to build public highways
for your autos, then you must demon
strate ycur ability to build roads with
out too much graft attached to the
building of such roads. One man told
me he got the enormous sum of three
loads of rock to spread on the road
on last Friday. They had eight loads
Saturday to spread up till about 4 p.
m. So there is where Oregon City
taxpayers' money goes. Paying for
something they don't get.
Yours truly,
R. L. BADGER. v
LAWMAKERS NOT PRESIDENTS.
Editor of Farm and Home Calls Atten
tion to Choice of Men Who
Will Make the Laws.
The mistakes usual to a presiden
tial campaign are being made. Peo
ple are excited over candidates for
nomination to the presidency, but are
giving only slight heed to senators
and representatives for congress or
in state legislatures. These are the
men who will make the laws.
Chief attention should be devoted
to selecting the best lawmakers. This
is a, matter of men, not parties. While
political parties may break up, indi
vidual character .should never break
up. Vote' for men for national and
state legislatures who can be depend
ed upon to frame laws in the interest
of public, not pelf; of justice, not priv
ilege; of righteousness, not party.
Both parties in congress are equal
ly responsible for going back on the
people, says Herbert Myrick in Farm
and Home. Both parties almost unan
imously support the reciprocity frame
up against domestic farmers. While
Republicans advocated such reciproc
ity, now Democrats seek to put sugar
on the free list and thus destroy a
new branch of farming that would put
$200,000,000 a year into the farm
ers' pocket; otherwise that vast sum
goes abroad for bounty-fed or coolie
grown sugar. Both parties are equal
ly guilty of dodging parcel post, and
thus again defeating the peoples' will.
It is vastly more important to the
public welfare to elect the right men
for lawmakers, than to governorship
or presidency.- Keep this fact ever
in mind.
Good Gifts.
The blessedness of giving Is not lim
ited to checks and bank bills. There
are gifts that far transcend these
gifts of patience, sympathy, thought
and counsel, and these are gifts that
the poorest can give. Lilian Whiting.

government is in a position to observe without great anxiety the
development of the Internal disturbances of the island republic.
American interest has been largely directed to Guantanamo, the naval base
ceded to this country by treaty, because of the possibility of a rebel attack
opon the American owned mines In that neighborhood. That the Cuban gov
ernment appreciates the gravity of the situation is evidenced by its suspension
of the constitutional guarantees because of the state of war which is declared

CHICKS NEED A DINNER BELL.
In every hatch there are usually
some chicks that march right up to
the feed and water and eat and drink
without trouble; but there are always
others who hold back and crowd in
the corners of the brooder or stand
around "peeping" and refuse to pay
any attention to the food. It is a good
plan to separate the chicks that will
not eat from the rest and place them
in a small enclosure by themselves.
Then I scatter some of the feed
over a shingle, says a writer in Farm
and Home, and with one finger tap the
shingle gently in the food, making a
sound like the tap-tap of a chicken's
beak. Most of the chicks will run
toward the sound even when they win
make no effort to eat. I keep up the
tapping, and some of the chicks which
were crowded away from the food in
the frooder will go to eating of their
own accord now that they have more
room, and every chick that gets a
bite will have several others, watching
and imitating it
