THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

Protection is the cry which appeals
more strongly to the nation than anything
else, for there is no matter Of such SUI
preme Importance TO the nations welfare
and the growth of its industrial interests
The advantages of Protection, as proven
by experience, form the strongest plank
of the platform upon which the National
Republican Convention demands the sup
port of the nation for the Presidential can
didate which it is TO nominate. In con-
nection with the doctrine and practice of
Protection the abuse of it by the trusts is
its only weak spot And against this
abuse the Republican party expresses itself
by a resolution urging the answering ex-
ecution of existing laws against offenders,
and the passage of new laws if those ex-
tant prove insufficient
OF next importance TO the tariff ques-
ton at this time is that of the currency.
And here the Republican party is again
on the right side in indorsing bi-metallism
with proper provisions for maintaining a
parity of values between gold and silver.
A plain support of the principle of civil
service reform would have been better
than an expressed recognition of the evi-
denee of its growth in the present admin
iStration, as one of Harris0n's most con-
spicuouS weaknesses has been his failure
to redeem in office the pledges on this mat
ter which he gave before election.
The resolution asking that the Nicara-
qua Canal be built under Government
control is a weakness in the platform.
For, as frequently pointed out
ny THE DISPATCH, the geographical
conditions are such as to make
the control Of the hypothetical waterway
N time of war simply matter of speed in
arriving at the scene, the power first
reaching it after the opening of hostilities
being the one which will have possession
Of ii. Moreover, the giving of a national
aspect to the enterprise would be a
fragrant mistake in view of the evidence
Of jobbery in the immense amount of
money desired by the promoters over and
above the expert engineers estimate of its
cost. This canal is essentially matter
for private enterprise, and the Republican
marty would have done far more wisely if
for this resolution it had substituted one
demanding the prorapt and unceasing i'm
provempnt of internal waterways.
The recognition of the Worlds Fair is
proper, and the nation should do all in It's
rover to insure the brilliant success of an
undertaking so vast, to which the national
credit is already pledged.
BEt, in spite of the one or two weak
n6sScs indicated, the platform is strong
one. Indeed the one and all-impcrtant
plank of Protection would be enough to
insure success in November to the party
making its stand thereon.

STUDENTS TO BE RESTRAINED.
Coroner Mix Advises That Their Initia

Coroner Mix Advises That Their Initia-
tions Be Supervised Hereafter.
NEW HAVEN, CONN.,, June 9.-[SpectaL J.
Coroner Mix rendered his decision this
afternoon as to the cause of death Of Wilkins
Rustin, the Yale sophomore who died from
injuries received while being initiated into
the Delta Kappa Epsilon Society. After CIV
ing the details OF the case as they have
already been told, Coroner Mix concludes
his finding as follows:
II am of the opinion that Wilkins Rustin's
death was caused by the carelessness of the
students conducting an initiation. l am
further of the opinion that this carelessness
was purely the result of boyish fun, entirely
unin tentional, and not such carelessness as
is known to the law as criminal careless
ness. In the course of the inquiry into the
manner and cause of this death l find that
modes of initiation have been permitted to
be practiced so unrestra1nedly that have en-
tirely exceeded the bounds of reason
and propriety and that are often dangerous
to the health and life of those who are SUBJ
jected to them, and l recommend that the
faculty either polish or restrain these
modes of initiation altogether or have en-
tire supervision and control of the same. In
default OF action on the part OF the faculty
l recommend that the proper authorities
take such measures as will prevent further
practices of this nature"
The students are much relieved over the
finding, as it does away with the possibility
of the arrest OF any OF their number on the
charge of involuntary manslsughter. The
faculty will have the matter in cons1dera-
tion, and it Is feared they may decide to
abolish the societies.

Atrio Del Cava;lo, the deep sickle-shaped val

clouds are lowering. Stones are also being
ejecied from the principal crater. This

. ELAINE AND CLAY.

men Are Strangely Similar.
Buffalo Enquirer.1
Many comparisons are now being made
between James G. Blaine and Henry Clay,
and the cofrse of these two men in public
life is strangely similar, and in the main
their history MP to date is an exact parallel
Mr. Blaine was Speaker OF the House three
times, so was Mr.. Clay. Nh. Blaine was a
candidate for the Presidency, so was Mr.
Clay, and each had a devoted following. Mr.
Clay conferred the Presidency on one of his
rivals, and so did Mr.. Blaine. In 1924 Mr..
Clay was O candidate and was defeated
Eight years after his first candidacy Mr..
Clay again ran for President and was de-
feated. Now Mr.. Blaine is candidate after
an eight-year interval. Will the parallel be
continued?

IT is unkind to suggest that the trans
formation of dead broke delegates in

the sale of their votes for cash down. The
metamorphosis should be charitably e1-

Grain City's entertainers.
