can't platform makers be content
with laying down great essential
principles, defining the outlines Of
their great economic differences, and
making specific declaration only upon
those questions upon which their
party's position has been clearly
worked out and squared by the partY's
fundamental maxims.
In regard to the New York declara-
ton about public ownership Of coal
mines, 10 might be a good thing and
again it might not. We all know in
a general way that In most countries
in ancient times and in some countries
in modern times the gold. silver, and
salt mines were government monopo-
lies and were among the government
sources of revenue. How many of us
know clearly and definitely how the
plan worked? How many Of us would
like to be committed without inyesti-
cation and lrreyocably to the theory?

Platform Declarations.

The clause 10 the New York demo-
cratic platform relative to govern.
ment ownership OF coal mines calls
attention anew to the folly of specific
platform declarations upon every
question which arises.
There is nothing more preposterous
aud, but for its serious consequences
sometimes, nothing more ludlcrous
than for four or five hundred delegates,
many of them utterly without politi-
cal experience or education, gaily to
essay the solution Of some great state
or national problem or to euunclate
some great economic principle, with
out more than fifteen minutes de-
liberation aud sometimes without any
deliberation at all. Mohammedan
dervlshes never claimed such instant
and p%lenary inspiration as the average
platform-making convention Not a
particle Of h%esitarcy is felt about
committing a party with It's news
papers, Its debaters, its pamphleteers,
It's workers, and it's voters to a policy
or a principle which is to be sub
scribed to first and Thought about
afterwards. No bett' plan can be de-
vised for eliminating from the public
service all independent and c%onscIen-
tlous thinkers aud for attracting Int
that service all the demagogues and
scoundrels who would as lief defend
one proposition as another. Why

Bow sane and wholesome she is.
Her charities are numerous rather
than large; her good deeds are helpful,
rather than spectacular. In the pur-

to relieve distress, not to win fame;
to ameliorate conditions, not to pose
