Tlio following plank -will bo offered the democratic convention, and sim ilar ones to the republican and progressive conventiens: That this convention favers: 1 An amendment to the federal conotltu tlon specifically protecting against encroachment on tho rlghtH of habeas corpus, free speech nnd peaceful assemblage, nnd tho rights to jury trial, to keep nnd hear arras; to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures; to speedy and public trial; to freedom from excessive, ball; and from cruel und unusual punishments. 2 Action by congress to prohibit courts from declaring legislative nets unconstitutional. 3. Provision that In federal cases, Jurors be selected in somo Impartial manner from a list containing nil qualified voters In the district. A Congressional regulation or prohibition of private detecllvo agoncles and employment agencies dolne. an interstate business. C Regulation by congress of militia organizations so as to insurfa im partiality during Industrial dlsputos. ' These are not partisan but humanitarian matters and should bo adopted bv all the parties as thev correct the ex isting evils of government by injunction, jury packing, in validation of just laws by biased courts-, protection of property rights at the expense of human rights, false im prisonment, maintenance of private armies, and other in dustrial evils. Only to protectors of privilege like Barnes - 1 jt js i,aniiv probable that and Penrose are such suggestions "hell-born hercsv." commission for relief of unemployment by "removal of its prime causes unjust distribution of wealth and monopo lization of land and natural resources" will be tackled in any convention except the socialist, nor will the recommen dation regarding the inheritance law be acted uopn yet these are really the vital problems before the nation and ere long must demand solution. Until they are solved, in dustrial unrest and unemployment will continue. All other reforms tinker with the result and leave the cause alone. BLOCKADE DOESN'T BLOCK TTIE ineffetiveness of the JJritish blockade in keeping goods out out of Germany is shown by figures pub lished by tho United States treasury department, which prove conclusively that the normal amount of imports from this country to Germany are reaching the latter na tion through the neutral Scandinavian nations. From August 1, 101.1, to Sept. l, 19M, the year before the war, the exports from the United States to Germany were .?Hl,iMci,USU. J'rom August 1, liJH, to Sept. l, 1910, the increase in exports from the United States to the three Scandinavian countries was $SI,2,J(5,9t)(5f showing that Ger many secured its normal quantity of supplies from Amer ica through Denmark,' Xorway and Sweden. The statistics of the treasury department read as fol lows:: ; ' To Denmark To Norway : To Sweden Totals .... - 220,0C5,9.rifi INCItKASr; OF.MOIU-: TIIAN.400 I'KU CENT $SI,220,(ltl The United States is still selling Cjermany as much as oyer. At the same time the trade with the allies has in creased by leaps and bounds. Tho business with South America has doubled, and increasing in all other parts of tho globe . At tho same time, imports to the United States could not be less under tho highest kind of a pro tection wall. Only the hyphenated citizens and politicians are worry ing about the blockade.

Ho ran "l have plead strongly for the I'our man on the Improved streets, I have pointed out the Injustice of inal.liu him pay for other peoples' pavement" I'bls may not be what he intended to say, nevertholoss It is true all the same, for the poor man on the paved street does not own that pavement which is In fiout of his property, has no exclusive right to It, in fact bus 110 par&onul control oyor It whatever.

Do you think by forcing the issuo advocated and crushing tho small property holders, that It will build up the city? Are you not nwnro If 200 or 300 lots in this town should he sold nt n sacrifice, say even nt f0 cents on tho dollar, that It would tend to reduco the value of every piece of land in tho city down to thnt level, and that It would take you 10 years to bring it back to the present valuation?

Do'you think for ono moment that to take poor peoplo's homes or lots will pay the debts of this city, or the out-stuudlng bonds?
