Go Ye, and Do Likewise,

New Zealand has become famous dur
ing the past six years because Of he1
radical labor legislation. She has been
cursed with landlordism, trampism
militarism and drunkardsm but she
has been wise enough in the past seven
or eight years to legislate them out G.
existence. Time was when a few men
owned the greater part of the land. A
land tax, graduated from two to six
cents on the pound, with an extra two
cents for an absentee landlord, proved
to be so heavy that most of the great
estates were offered for sale The gov
ernment has also enacted a graduated
income tax. These two measures re-
suited in driving the great money lord
from the country. There is not today
one millionaire, and only one man
worth a half a million, in New Zealand
Mr.. Robson, who had acquired 100, 900
acres of land, had to sell $4,000 acres
of his land.

operation is about 1900. The pay on
the railroads averages about 80 per cent
cent higher than the wages on our
American roads. The railway hands
have an eight-hour work day. You can
ride 80 miles for 10 cents, and first
class service is rendered the people.
The annual net profit Of the New Zea-
land railroads is an average of $780,
900. The government owns the tele-
graph and telephone, the rates being.
about 500 per cent less than our West
ern Union monopoly. Both pay profit.
The government also conducts the
express business for the benefit Of the
people, also the postal savings bank.
Since the enactment of the labor law,
known as the Industrial Cancellation
and Arbitration Act" with it's amend
ments, there has not been a strike in
New Zealand. The last session Of the
New Zealand parliament passed an act
pensioning all persons over IS years of
age who have lived in the country Is
years and are of good character, and
do not possess $2,7OO worth of property
or enjoy an income of IS week. The
pension provides for $50 year, or $3.50
for couple, man and wife.
Postal savings banks are feature in
New Zealand and are immensely popu-
lar. Anyone may deposit sums up to
$4,000. At present there is on deposit
in these banks sum equal to $45 for
every man, woman and child in the
country. There are no bank failures.
No cashiers going to Canada or South /

MIR. WATSON is HERE.
The Sixth District Representative
Chats About Politics.

Among those quartered at the Denison
is Representative James E. Watson, of the
Sixth Congressional district. Mr.. Watson
was kept very busy last night shaking
hands with his friends.
In speaking of the platform to be adopted
by the State convention Representative
Watson said that he had no doubt of the
action that would be taken by the conven-
ton. Said he: 81 think the platform
should indorse the administration, and the
legislation of Congress with reference to
our foreign possessions, and there isn't any
doubt that the convention will make such
an Endorsement" In speaking of the
convention Mr.. Watson said: This will
undoubtedly be the greatest convention
ever held by the Republicans of this State.
/ have never seen more enthusiasm dis
played by Republicans. In my district we
never had a better organization, nor was
there ever more interest evfnced" When
asked what he thought of Mr.. Hanly as
chairman of the convention, Mr.. Watson
replied that if Mr.. Hanly was chosen he
was quite sure that there was a man
in the State who would afford more general
satisfaction. During the course of his
conversation Mr.. Watson paid a very high
tribute to Senator Fairbanks saying that
he was one of the wisest and most con-
sentative men in the country. Said he:
II think he would be very unwise to accept
the nomination as vice president, for he is
too big a man for the place. In 1904, in my
opinion, Senator Fairbanks is the man who
should be nominated for the Presidency"

He Talks of the Prospects for Victory
Platform suggestions.

REPRESENTATIVE Lands arrived in the city
yesterday evening from his home at
Delphi and will be at the Denison until
the convention is over. In speaking of the
prospects for a Republican victory this fall
Mr.. Lands said:
81 like to see an army of candidates. 1t
is a good sign. 1t indicates confidence and
confidence means victory, and victory Tor
the Republican party means continuance
of the splendid prosperity now character
izing every nook and corner OF the Re-
public. Each candidate has his friends but,
after all, each candidate and his friends
are for the party and whoever is nomi-
mated will have back of him an enthusiastic
host L look for such a victory in Indiana
this year We have not known in years.
We have really just arrived at that stage
where we can appreciate the results OF the
victory of 1896. The Democrats, after hav-
ing plunged the country into ruin, offered
the people reputation as the only means
of escape and prophesied the direSt calam-
ity If the Republican party should succeed.
The Republican party was victorious and
the three years that make up the admins
tration of the party mark Such an era or
contentment and industrial JOY as the
world has never seen. There Is not a
Democratic prophecy that has not been
made ridiculous and not a Republican
promise that has not been fulfilled. We
fought war without losing ship, and
came out of it with such surplus
in the treasury as to really cause
embarrassment; we have annexed
Hawaii, passed a currency bill that
settles our financial policy for years to
come, and in every way, on land and sea,
conducted affairs so as to win confidence
at home and admiration abroad. Democ-
racy is railing, of course. 1t has never
done anything else. The only thing to do
is to let Democracy rail. but go ahead and
do what commends itself to Judgment and
conscience. The party did this under Lin
coin and Grant while Democracy rallied.
and history tells the result"
What should be in the PLATFORM
You know as well as /. An Endorsement
of the matchless administration of William
Mckinley. This takes il all in, the work

He has justified all the representations his

more. His devotion to duty, his tireless
energy. his complete mastery of every
question involving the interest of the State
has redounded to the credit of the party
and the honor of Indiana. When history
tells the story of Indiana's last four years
II will cause the friends of James A. Mount
to exchange congratulations. He has been
a wise. prudent, conservative and patriotic

REPRESENTATIVE HEMENNAY
Believes the Administrations Should
BE Endorsed Outright.

Representative J. A. Hemenway, of the
First district. is registered at the Deniscn.
When asked by a Journal reporter last
night about the condition OF the party in
the First district, he replied: 1.-THE party
is in better condition in the First district
than it has been in years. Our district
chairman. George Cunningham. is great
organizer. and all of our county chairmen
are active fellows. There is not fac
tional fight in the district among Re-
pubicans" In speaking OF the
platform to be adopted by the convention
Mr.. Hemenway said: 1.-THE administration
will be and should be heartily Endorsed
by the State convention. We have brought
about prosperity as predicted and promised
by Mckinley and meeting the re-
sponsibilities that follow the Spanish
American war. We are legislating care
fully on all questions and are taking our
time so We will be certain of being right
before moving in legislation for the new
possessions. / think il very fortunate for
the country that the Republicans are in
power at this time, for IL is the only party
that is capable of dealing with the diff
cult questions of to-day. The speaker
of the House. realizing the great i'm
portance of caution. made up commit
tee OF the strongest men Of the House TO
such men as Cannon, Payne. Hit and
others, all members of long experience.
Upon the Senate side the committees TO
deal with these questions made up
of the most distinguished men of the Sem
ate, and the country can rest assured that
all legislation will be carefully considered
Our Democratic friends, of course, will
criticise us and insist that every act is
unconstitutional, but the Republican party
will meet these difficult problems and solve
them correctly for the best interests of the
people of the new possessions as well as
the people of the United States. and step
by step we will try TO lead those people
up to the point where they can understand
our form of government. / believe that the
platform ought to indorse the legislation
enacted by Congress in regard to all of our
new possessions. and also the enactment
of the finance BILL and give due credit to
Hugh Hanna and Jesse Overstreet for
their efforts in bringing about this legis-
lation. / believe also that the platform
ought to advocate additional legislation up
on this question, so il will be possible TO
make the currency more elastic and reduce
the interest rates.
In speaking of Senator Fairbanks, Mr..
Hemenway said: 'I think that Senator
Fairbanks is one of the greatest leaders
of the Republican party. / know that his
advice is sought by the President and by
the Senate all public questions. He is
conservative and when his opinions are
expressed they carry great weight. hope
to see him nominated for President OF the
United States in 1904.
