self abreast of the enlightened Repub-
llcanism OF the day in its treatment of
other pressing questions. In our news
columns yesterday we printed in sub
stance the platform adopted Wednes-
day at Cleveland. Parts of it will GER
tainly bear repetition. For example
take this plank on the relations be-
tween capital and labor:
TO secure for labor the considpra-
tion 1t deserves; to uphold the dignity
of toll; to create Il healthy public opin-
ION on the subject OF labor and the
Justice OF its receiving II full share of
the value 1t creates; to bring labor and
capital together on common ground i'm
the adjustment of such questions IN
may concern these two great factors in
production, II Is necessary that labor
should be intellgently organized. We
believe in few hours and larger rewards
for labor and favor such laws as will
harmonize the interests of labor and
capital and tend TO tighten the burden
of toll"
No one can pick Il flaw In that. 1t is
gospel truth, Intelligent organization
OF labor means, among other things,
sanctity Of contracts; fidelity to the
employers interests while employed:
the subordination of fire-eating, rough
riding, tonSue-crazy radcalism to cool,
business-like. impartial judgment; in
short, revolution in the whole tenor
and drift of most labor unions. 1t also
means fewer strikes and more accident
insurance, sick-benefits and night
schools; more efficiency, bettered moral
and technical development, and less
waving OF the red flag of envy, class
prejudice and artificial discomfort.
The plank on trusts was also to the |
point. I'VE recognize" it says. The
necessity of cooperation In order TO |
meet new conditions in the industrial |
world. and to compete successfully for |
the worlds markets: but all combina-
lions that stifle competition, control |
prices, limit production, or unduly in
crease profits or values, and especially
when they raise the prices of the me-
'essities OF life, are opposed to public
policy and should be repressed with a
strong hand" That is Republican pol

We do not see how the condition OF

then be expected from the bitumInous
districts. 1t would be win or starve
