tunity as long as few men can die
tate prices on the goods he buys and
fix freight rates on everything he
ships. Thus, to give him individual
ism as far as possible these traffic and
industrial combinations must be
curbed. The same holds true in the
line of numerous other trades. The
majority of the people have little to
fear from men in their own line of
business. Their opportunities are
lessened by combinations outside of
their own line of business.
In order, then to get as near as pos
sible to individualism for the majority
of people in the majority of occupa-
lions it becomes necessary to make
public servants of those industries on
which all are dependent for success
in their work.
Public ownership Of what can be

ownership of what an individual can
handle with profit to himself and with
out danger to his fellowman, will
bring us as near individualism as is
necessary or desirable. Less than
this will give the INSCRIPTIONS man

will limit the power of progress in the

WHAT PARTY PLATFORMS MEAN

We have often wondered why it was
that party platforms seemed to mean
so little when the party came into
power, unless the promise was given
to some special interest. We wonder
no longer. Senator Knute Nelson has
solved the problem. On the floor of
the senate, on the fifth of January this
year, the senate uttered the following
significant words;
1.-The most you can say about these
party platforms is that they are of an
advisory character. The members Of
the several political conventions. arc
not acting under oath. They arc there
simply to carry out certain political be-
hosts Of their party, chief Of all to
nominate candidates. Bot the rule
established and adopted by 4 party
convention can never be controlling in
this or In tho other house of congress-"
There we have it from one of the
recognized leaders of the republican
party that party platforms mean moth
ing. Hereafter, when the republican
party meets in convention and adopts
platforms promising anything
to the people we shall all know
that the members of congress do not
consider themselves bound by the
promises. The promises are there to
fool the people. If they are not bind
ing on mon who run on that platform
can they be considered to mean any
thing else than effort to catch votes?
OF course promises made to special
interests will be sacredly kept, as in
the past. The only su :h promise tbs
the republican party has not so far
redeemed is the one for "elastic cur.
rency," and that remains unredeemed
because the banks cannot agree on the
form of the measure. The party plat
form being. only advisory, the men,
bers of congress redeem promises
made to people who vote and contrib.
ute to elections in accordance with the
actions of the congressman. Promises
made to people who vote for 7 arty
ticket regardless of what the party
does, will receive no attention.

Autocratic and Democratic Organization
~. BY DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT. !:

We cannot have a country part demo-
cratic and part autocratic. We cannot do
away with combinations of capital-either of
capital or of labor. The question is not
whether we shall continues to have such or
CARNATIONS, but whether the organizations
shall be democratic or autocratic-manage
by the few for the benefit of the few, or by
the few or the many with proper regard for
the public interests.
