CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS.

The Democratic party, In its plat
form, boldly attacks these wrongs and
demands their correction not by the
destruction or injury of the rights Of
any man or corporation, but by res
toring and maintaining the rights of
all. not by unequally distributing she
burdens of taxation, but by equalizing
them.
1t has but one purpose In view
TO SO amend and enforce existing laws
that every dollar Of property value
shall bear It's proportionate share or
the burden, without regard to Its
form or character, but according to
it's value alone. 1t has no purpose or
desire to injure the wealthy. 1t has
no intention to permit the oppression
of those who are not wealthy. 1t
proposes only exact justice to all.
The Democratic party, Jealous of
the exercise of arbitrary power by
government demands in its platform
that the Constitution be strictly con-
strued, that the reserved rights Of the
states and the people be upheld. and
condemns Capitalization which would
destroy them. The Republicans, in
their platform, which deals almost
exclusively with national affairs, fail
to even mention the Constitution.
which, until recently. has been held by
all our people as the very palladium
Of our liberties. In this they follow
ed the Republican National convention
last year, which, although it was held
in the city where the Declaration Of
Independence was signed, and the
Constitution framed, mentioned nei-
ther of them in it's platform. 1t is in
keeping with this that during the ma
tional campaign last year the Repub-
licans not only neglected to mention
the constitution, but they avoided
quoting from the sayings of Lincoln,
Sumner, or any of the founders of their
party. and treated the farewell mes
sage of Washington as if it We're an
incendiary document.
What is the significance Of this?

MUNICIPAL REFORM.

Considering, first, the subject of
municipal government, it denounces
the inefficient partisan and corrupt sys-
tenn which has prevailed, the respons-
ibility for which it justly places on the
Republican party, because it has long
been in power; and demands that gen.
eral laws be enacted, which will in.
sure home rule and prevent the i'm
position of burdensome debts and tax
es without the sanction of the people:
and 1t denounces the system which
has brought about 1.-THE corrupt en-
ployment of party leaders to secure
valuable franchises without adequate
compensation therefor" 1t commends
the proposed "revised municipal code"
prepared by non-partisan commits
sion which would place the conduct
of municipal affairs upon business
basis, and declares in language that
cannot be misunderstood, that mo
franchise extension or renewal thereof,
shall ever be granted by any city or
village without first submitting the
same to vote Of the people"
The Republican platform makes no
reference whatever to this matter of
primary importance, especially to the
working people of our cities, but 1t
points with pride" to the record of
its candidate for United States Sena-
tor, who, according to common re-
port, has done more than any other
man to take from the hands Of the
people of the cities of this state the
control of the franchises which right
ly belongs TO them.
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-10-23

specially names those who are con-
public burdens, and insists that they
shall be assessed in the same pro-
portion to their saleable value as our
farm and city real estate"
Is there any honest and fair mind
ed man, to whatever party he may
belong, who can dispute the justice
of this demand? The platform also
provides for sworn public reports and
auditings which shall make plain to
the people the true value of the priv
ileges held by public corporations. Is
not this the peoples due?
The Republicans, now that unmis-
taxable ev dence is produced that cor
porations having public franchises
are not bearing their just share of
taxation, and when the grievances of
the people can no longer be quieted,
have inserted In their platform, near
its close, brief clause declaring in
favor of equal taxation and the ere.
alton of such machinery" as may be
necessary to accomplish this. but it
does not make any declaration as to
the specific means it would adopt for
this purpose, and the past history of
the party warrants the belief that it
does not contemplate any that would
seriously antagonize those upon
whom it SO largely relies for cam
paign contributions.
Why did not the Republicans install
this machinery" years ago, when
they had two thirds or three-fourths
majority In the legislature? The task
would have been easy of accomplish
ment, for the Democratic minority
would have aided in the work. If it
has taken the Republicans ten years
to acknowledge their fault, how long

The T0MBOY.
A Kind Of Girl Who Became
Extinct in the Last Century.

It's far cry from the sampler-working
maiden of hundred years ago to the
athletic girl of to-day. The girl of q
hundred years ago did not dare to be
original in thought or action, or if she
did was at once stamped as eccentric and
strong minded. Her mind was formed
on safe principles. She was trained to
household duties, and to accept the mar
row limits in which she was to move as
the natural, intellectual and physical
bounds of a woman's capacity. If she
Tevolted from cup and ball early in the
century, or later from the mild delight
OF croquet and wanted to run and romp,
she was invariably set down as "a regular
tomboy." That was very familiar term
only few years ago. Now one hardly
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-10-23

hears it. Girls are encouraged to row
and ride, to run and romp, in the inter-
est of their own physical well being, and
for the general advantage of the mothers
of the future.
THE ONE THING NEEDFUL.
Such girls make the healthiest and
happiest of women, with one provision
they must begin womanhood Alright.
When the womanly function is first
established it should be under perfectly
healthy conditions, otherwise soon or
late diseases of the womanly organism
will result, and this opens the door to
boundless suffering.
The first lesson which every girl should
learn when she comes to womanhood is
that her general health is inseparable
from the local womanly health; that
womanly disorders and arrangements
known now only to herself will in time
publish themselves to all her sex, in the
hollow cheek, dull eye and pain-creased
brow. To the young woman irregnlarity
Is only form of physical discomfort.
To the experienced It is an indication OF
functional arrangement which calls for
prompt cure. 1t is neglect or delay at
such times which often leads to the
establishment of chronic diseases.
woMAN's BEST FRIEND,
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription Is q
medicine prepared especially for woman's
use, and is designed to cure diseases pecu--
liar to women. 1t is particularly adapted
to the use OF young women because OF its
great tonic and invigorating properties,
and also because it contains no harmful
ingredients, being entirely free from
alcohol and from opium, cocaine and all
other narcotics. It is a medicine that
cannot disagree with the most delicate
constitution. Hundreds of thousands OF
women whose cures represent every cur
able form OF womanly disease, give their
testimony to the perfect re-establishment
of the local and general health by the
use of uFavorite Prescription

PLATFORMS COMPARED.

The first concern of a great political
party should be the interests of the
people. the last Its own glorification.
The Democratic platform begins with
a reaffirmation Of belief in equality
Of taxation and other public burdens.
and the time honored Democratic doc
trine Of equal rights for all, special
privileges to none. The Republican
platform begins with praise of the
party for which " speaks and loud

professions Of It's ability to meet
every public problem. The Democratic
party, true to its duty as the natural
defender of the peoples rights, inter-
ested in their welfare more than III
the Offices, makes no reference In its
platform to its nominees, out speaks
with no uncertain voice as to prin-
ciples and policies. The Republican
party, true to the character of Its
management at this time, a syndicate
of bosses and office holders, makes
the most prominent feature In its plat
form, pledge of support to its candi-
dates. The Democratic platform reaf.
firms its fail. in that theory and prac-
tice of constitutional government
which brought the nation into exist
ence and have preserved 1t to the pres
ent generation. The Republican plat
form pledges loyal and undivided
support to the Republican party.

first paragraphs of the two platforms,
giving the substance of both. Let ary-
/ one take them and place them side by
side, and decide for himself which is

The Democratic platform closes with
an earnest denunciation Of boss rule
and political corruption, as menacing
the destruction Of public virtue and
calls upon patriotic men of all parties
to aid In restoring the straightforward
honesty of the early days of the Re-
public. The Republican platform clos

Peruna restores health in normal

Peruna puts right all the mucous
membranes of the body, and in this
way restores the functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of or
der, and the digestion impaired, Pc
runa quickly makes things right by re-
storing the mucous membrane of the
stomach.
If the nerves tingle, if the brain is
tired, if the strength is tagging and
the circulation of blood weakened by
fiabby mucous membranes of the di-
gestive organs, Peruna reaches the
spot at once by giving to these mem
branes the vitality and activity which
belongs to them.
The pelvic organs are also lined with
mucous membrane which in the female
sex is especially liable to derange-
ments. Peruna is an absolute specific
in these cases. The women everywhere
are praising it. No other remedy has
ever received such unqualified praise
from such multitude of women.

BLANKErING ORANGE GROVES.
How the Young Trees Are Protected
from the Frost in the
south.

Who ever heard of an orange tree be.
ing rolled up in a blanket at nightf
They never heard of such a thing in
Florida until the year of the blizzard
when the temperature dropped from
55 above zero to 30 in one night and
thousands of orchards full of fruit were
turned black and bare. Now orange
growers have blankets for their trees
and when there is danger Of frost
tents are stretched around them. and
very likely big Kerosene lamps or small
stoves are lit inside the tent to keep the
fingers and toes of valuable trees from
being nipped. Only 30 seconds are need.
ed to put up some of these tents which
are already in place attached to poles
beside the trees and operated by means
of rings and strings. In an hour o
whole orchard can be made to look like
an army camping ground. Some young
orchards of many acres are inclosed in
slat houses which can be opened and
closed like window shutters. Still an.
other way is to inclose the orchard in
board fences as high as the trees. On
frosty nights roof is formed by strips
of muslin stretched on wires from one
side of the field to the other. In all of
these Enclosures artificial heat of some
kind is kept up and everything is used
from hand lamps to big sheet iron "sala-
manders" and miles OF stovepipe to
distribute the heat to all parts of the
orchards
