The Statesman haa received a copy of the Platform adopted June
29 by the Indiana Republican State Convention.
' It is a splendid document.
It k a very clear statement ot principles.
The party of patriotism and progress will do well to adhere closely
to the Indiana pronouncement.
Following are some sample excerpts:
"The Republican party heralded its own birth by saving the life
of the nation, and from that hour to this moment has been a party
of patriotism.'1
"The history of the growth of the Republican party is the story of
the progress of the nation."
"The Republican party stands for the use of every possible means
to win the war now."
"For peace with victory and never a peace by compromise."
"For a sane prepartion now for the solution of the problems .
which will come after the war."
"A forward stepping as well as a forward looking program for
labor, for busines and for the farmer."
"We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff."
- ' "In these times of war, when larger revenue is needed than ever
before, we contend that a reasonable amount of it could be well raised
from a protective tariff." V
"We also believe that, in the period of readjustment that must
follow when the war is over, there will be a greater need of the pro
tective policy than ever before in our history."
'In Congress, Republicans have given their votes, often the de
ciding ones, for the grant of every power and all the money demand
ed by the administration. In this course of action they will persist
without wavering or shadow of tnrning." -

A MAD BEAST.
The Austro-Hungarlan govern
ment, with hunger in the homes and
riot in the streets of Vienna, is coax
ing and threatening the public to
subscribe to another war loan, the
proceeds of which will be used to psy
the Interest on former loans.
The government is making urgent
appeals to Induce the great land
owners and aristocracy to come for
ward with their money, but the ap
peals have been unheeded.
The government official organ
threatens to draw up a list of those
mssjnstes and land owners whose
subscriptions have been trifling and
menaces them with both government
atcion and a social boycott.
It says, in a recent article. l!on-
by the governor. This leaves the
fkld clear for the loan pirates to
charge almost what commission they
like, to rob the widow and the fath
erless through the medium of extor
tionate Interest charges and still re
main within the letter of the law.
The case in question is the first
that has come to public notice of an
attempt by a money lender to seise
the home of a mother of soldiers to
L satisfy extortionate interest claims.
It will require Individual vigilance
to prevent such -outrages; for the
most' worthy are always the last to
complain. But it is well for us all
to remember those of us whom age
or physical defects keep out ot the
service that the least we can do
for the gallant boys over there Is to
stand between the dependents they
have left behind and the unscrulu
lous money lenders who are even
worse than ghouls; for the ghouls
only despoil the desd who are past
knowing, while the extortionists rob
the living ones whom it should be
the pride of every citlsen to protect.

tionists are found to be operating

- A HALLOWED DIAMOND,
No Englishman was ever permitted
to play the ancient an honorable
game of cricket in exclusive Hyde
Park. In London. It seemed to be a
sort ot shrinery for novelists and his
torians. But now Hyde Park echoes
the merry click ot the two-base hit
and the breezy yawp ot the itinerant
hot-dog merchant. In the process of
making the world safe for democ
racy the sacred purlieus of Hyde Park
have been diverted to a prosaic ball
yard where the American national
pastime is played by American sol
diers to the accompaniment of the
"Star Spangled Banner." No out
door sport was ever permitted In the
park until Uncle Sam's army In
"passing through" was encouraged
to lay out a diamond and Indulge in
their favorite sport in this historic
park. Now the hospitable Britons
not only witness but participate in
the game and find that it Is a prac
tical form of athletic training for
a soldier, as well as a clean and
wholesome pastime. . They take to
it kindly and feel that the working
out of a team battery In their vener
able park Is more a matter of conse
cration than desecration. The first

KATIE'S STORY OP HER MYS
STERIOUS DEPARTURE
Still very nervous but calmer than
she had been. Katie remained quiet
hen I raised my voice to reach
Dicky waiting In the adjoining room.
Oh Dicky." I called yon may
come out now." i
Dicky drew a low chair In front of
the couch where we saL
Tell me first. Katie," he said
kindly, "why do yon think I want to
put you in prison? Because of the
money?,' Never mind that. I want
to talk to yon of something else."
But Katie was hystericslly tugg
ing at the neck of her gown. ' From
inside bejr bodice she took a tiny
chamois skin bag. and ripping it
open took out a carefully folded bill
and handed it to Dicky.
I never spend that money." she
said. "I never mean to steal It.
But I hsd to go away queek from
your flat, and 1 never, never dare to
come back, give you the money.
After two month, send my cousin to
the flat, but he say you move, no
know. where. There I always keep
the money here. I think maybe I
find out where yon live and write a
letter to you, send the money."
Dicky took the bill and unfolded It
curiously. A brown stain ran Ir
regularly across one-halt of it.
'Well I'll be eternally blessed." he
ejaculated. "If it isn't the Identical
bill I gave her. Ten dollar bills
were so plentiful three years ago.
and I remember this one so dis
tinctly because of the stain. The
boys used to say I must have mur
dered aome one to get It, and that
it war stained with, blood."
lie turned to Katie again.
"The money is nothing. Katie.
Why did you run away that day? I
have never been able to finish that
picture since."
Katie's eyes dropped. Her cheeks
flushed.
"I 'shamed to tell." she mur
mured.
Dicky muttered an oath beneath
his breath. "I thought so." he said
slowly, then he spoke sternly:
"is ever mina Deing ashamed to
tell. Katie. I want the truth. I
worked at your portrait that morn
ing, and then I had to go to the

My brain was whirling by this
time. Dicky in a flat with this ig

What did It all mean?
"Where did you go." Dicky persisted.

at htm proudly.

I got out of our housekeeping ar
