PLATFORM vs. SPEAKER.
The Democratic platform de
mands such an enlargement of
the rowers of the inter-state
commerce commission as will en
able it to compel railroads to per
form all their duties as common
carriers, and to ascertain the
physical valuation of railroads
This would create scores of offices
and would cost the government
an enormous sum of money. .
The platform pledges the party
to enact a law creating a depart
ment of labor, represented sepa
rately in the president's cabinet.
This would mean a new expense
of several millions annually.
The platform declares for an
"adequate navy," which means
the maintenance of the navy at
,' its present, size, at least; and
this calls for an expenditure three
. times as large as the naval bud
get of ten years ago.
The platform advocates "the
organization of all existing na
tional public agencies into a
national bureau of public health"
,with power "over sanitary con
ditions connected with factories,
mines, tenements, child labor,
and other such subjects," which
would require an expenditure of
millions.
The platform favors "the es
tablishment of district agricultu
ral experiment stations and sec
ondary agricultural and mechan
, ical colleges in the several
states." If the government
should erect and maintain col
leges in every state it would re
quire an expenditure of many
millions annually.
The platform favors a "liberal
and comprehensive plan for im
proving every watercourse in the
Union which is justified by, the
-needs of commerce," including
the connection of the great lakes
with the .gulf, "and the navi
gable rivers with each other, and
the rivers, bays and sounds of
our coasts with each other , by
artificial canals," and ' we favor
the creation of a fund ample for
continuous work." The possibil
ities of expenditure under such
a plan are limitless.
The platform favors "feleral
aid to state and local authorities
in the construction and mainten
ance of postroads." If the gov
ernment should enter upon road
building it would have to expend
many millions in order to satisfy
the state and local authorities.
The platform pledges the party
to the enactment of a bank de
posit guaranty law, applying to
all national banks and "available
to all state banking institutions
wishing to use it." The inspec
tion and control of national and
state banks which would be re
quired to prevent abuse of the
guaranty law would call for a
large additional corps of govern
ment officers at great expense.
Here are propositions for the
federal control of public health,
schools, roads and banks, with
an expenditure of unknown mil
lions annually.
Yet Mr. Bryan is making
speeches against 'centralization'
and 'extravagance.' Ex.
DESERTS BRYAN.
Ex Senator George L. Welling
ton, of Maryland."' i3 "open and
enthusiastic in support of "Taft.
Eight years ago he appeared on
the rostrum with Bryan at the
greatest political meeting ever
held in Baltimore, and stumped
the Northwest for theNebraskan.
Although now opposing his elec
tion, Wellington says he consid
ers Bryan themost magnetic
man of the day. Explaining why
he is now for Taft, Wellington
says: ' " ' ' , ;-. --
"Eight years ago I felt that
Bryan was beyond question above
indirection of any kind or char
acter. He was to me the person
ification of political honesty,' and
stood for what be believed to be
right, and not for expediency
sake. Since that time there has
been a great change."
He, states that Bryan's silence
now about the measures he for-
meny aavoeatea, sucn as gov
eminent ownership, shows that
Bryan is more intent on gaining
office, than standing up for his
principles.
"I consider Taft the ideal can
didate as the representative of
Republican policies," he says,
"and if he is elected there will ' crats of each State were free to act
be less Rooseveltism than many ' wlth regard ch,efly to locaI lnterests-
i - The principle which he then ' formu-
people may imagine. " ; lated seems to have been adopted ty

that the best way to keep Bryan i
harmless is to roll Up a bigger j
majority against him in 1908 than '
. . .... . ., nnn Ti
we cast against him in 1900. It:
is good advice, and the National,
Committee is alive to the neces-
sity of doing that very thing. It
. - .- , 7 . ,
is no easier now than it was eight
years ago, and to think that it is,
is to invite defeat. There is not
so much excitement in September
this year as there was when
Bryan was making his second at
tempt to break into the White
House, but before the end of Oc
tober the air will be full of the
noise of battle. Bryan would not J
ue narmiess, ana.tnose wno real
ize how harmful his election
would be must prepare to put
forth their strongest effort to
prevent such a consummation.
Our Democratic brethren are
having a lively time in Missouri
with election frauds at the recent
primary. In the 4th precinct,
16th ward of Sk Lonis, sixteen
men evidently came up out of
their graves and voted. A special
grand Jury is investigating "the
matter, and has found that in one
precinct 53 per cent of the en
tire vote was fraudulent.
In the opening of the Republi
can campaign at Youngstown,
Ohio, Septemher.6th, more than
12,000 mechanics were in line,
being more than three-fourths of
all the mechanics in that great
industrial center. Youngstown
is one of the greatest manufac
turing cities in the state, and
this is an index of the feeling of
laboring men toward Taft.
A High Class Attraction.
"The Little Prospector"
which "Chic" Perkins will
seen at the Opera House
m
be
on
Sept. 22, is a new western play
of humor and pathos and keeps
the audience alternating in
laughter and tears. The charm
ing comedian "Chic" Perkins
is simple and effective and dis
plays strong emotional charac
ter easily and without studied
effort. She knows how to be
humorous and at the same time
pathetic. The play is pure as
the mountain air and enjoyable
thrughoutits every moment. It
is a delightful idyl of mining
life in the gold fields of Colora
do intelligently interpreted and
greatly enhanced by a lavish
display of costly scenery and
paraphernalia. Here will be a
performance to which your fam
ily may be taken for fun without
vulgarity. By all means attend
the performance of "The Little
Prospector." 1 ' 77-79

; (From the Baltimore Sun, Dem.)
, General Wlnfleld S. Hancock, who
was the Democratic nominee for Presi
dent In 1S80, declared the tariff .'was
principally a "local question" that Is"
to say, a Pennsylvania Democrat might
be a protectionist for protection's sake,
while a Democrat in Georgia or in
Iowa might hold fast to the doctrine
of a tariff for revenue only. The Massa

might, be a free trader only with re
spect to commodities which were not
1 ?Troduced, by his own state. General
ered an ingenious evasion of the tariff
issue, but it did not produce' harmony
ia the Democratic party, and the gen
eral was defeated. , .. 1
.Twenty-eight years have passed since
General Hancock defined the tariff as
a local question upon which the Demo-
. hl lt8 piatform planks demanding cer
tain qualifications for voters, designed
to disfranchise many negroes. r Their

Out in .Nebraska and. in Kansas the
Democratic, campaign managers are
organizing negro voters into Bryan
clubs. In Ohio no effort will be spared
to secure the support of the negro
voters for the Democratic national
ticket. What pledges have been given
and what Inducements have been oT-fer-d
does not appear. But it i" a fair
inference that ; the managers haye
ne
gro, perhaps to recognize nim in tne
distribution of offices, if Mr. Bryan
should be elected, and also to take
such action as the negroes may de
mand in respect to the reinstatement
of the negro battalion dismissed from
the army by President Roosevelt for
the attack on Brownsville. Last week
when the West Virginia Democrats
were declaring for a disfranchisement
law and for a. "Jim Crow" law, the
Democratic, convention In the Twelfth
Congressional district of Ohio adopted
a. platform favoring "the enactment
of laws which shall accord 'to- all men.
accused of wrongdoing, whether sol
diers or civilians, a fair and impartial
trial and an opportunity to be heard
before conviction or : punishment."
This apparently, refers to the Browns
ville incident It may also have a
broader meaning and a more extended
application and may be susceptible of
an interpretation which will ' make
Southern Democrats open their eyes
with amazement and possibly with ap
prehension. Race Question "Local Issue P"
There seems to be no ground for rea
sonable doubt that the Democratic
campaign managers in the West, in the
effort to necure negro support for their
national ticket, are acting .upon the I
priuciple that the race question is only
a "local issue." It is evident that the
South does not approve this plan of
campaign, but is powerless to check it.
The Democracy of the South is in full
accord with the position taken by the
West Virginia Democrats last week.
And yet it is assumed by those who
are trying- to get negroes to support
Mir. Bryan that the South will act in
hearty co-operation with the Ohio, Ne
braska, Kansas and Illinois Democrats,
who are welcoming the negro into free
fellowship in the Democratic party
and probably promising to annul the
decision of President Roosevelt in the
Brownsville matter. The theory of
Western Democrats that the race prob
lem Is merely a local issue is calcu
lated to give the South much concern.
Many Democrats In that section may
question whether it Js worth while to
elect a Democratic president who may
open .wide the door of political oppor
tunity to the negro. .
Mr. Bryan criticises Mr. Taft for
adding to the Republican platform. In.
the meantime the number of "para
mount 183088" which Mr. Bryan sub
tracted from the Democratic platform
would fill several large volumes.
