Vlrglnia's Need.

The days of blind and supreme
self satisfaction have passed. and the
time has come when men desire rather
TO look cold facts in the face and to
profit by the experience of others.
1t is an age of composition, an age of
comparisons. Men are not satisfied to
stand where their fathers stood; they
are not satisfied with the fruits of the
past We demand growth in the
present and look forward to greater
rewards in the future. We are de-
termined TO excel others, and even to
surpass ourselves. This alone is sue
cess. There is spirit in the air that
makes us anxious to move forward
and to increase every possession in
every department of life. This is the
eager and inspiring breath of the
twentieth century. and it is well TO
inhale it deeply Richmond Times

of Russia's plans in the event of war
breaking out between either Turkey

sufficiently broad to provide for any

Should Bulgaria, in spite of Russia's
warning not to provoke hosti1ities

against the suzerain power, Russia
will nevertheless be forced by her
very position as leading S1av power
to side against Turkey.
My informant adds, however, that
Bulgaria's territories at the end of
such a campaign would not include a

PARTY OBLIGATIONS
TO WHAT EXTENT ARE POLITI-
CAL PLATFORMS BINDING7
If They Are Mere PIatitudes They
May Be Easily Repudiated, but If
They Are Pledges Ought They Not
to Be Faithfully Carried Out7

Why do we frame and adopt party
platforms? Are they platitudes, or
are they pledges? And if the latter,
are they to be broken or kept? These
questions would seem to be superffu-
GUS, and yet we appear to be on the
eve of breaking a distinct Republican
promise, for as such a plank in po-
litical platform is understood The
Republican party in its half century
of existence has made few promises
that it has not kept or attempted to
keep. No matter how often Democrat
ic pledges have been broken, the Re
publican legislators and executives
have tried to keep faith with the ma
jority which elected them. Going back
to 1860, the Republican platform de-
clared that sound policy requires
such an adjustment of imports as to
encourage the development of the in
dustrial interests of the whole cOun-
try Time and time again Republi-
can platforms have declared for pro-
lection to labor and industries, some
times in general terms, sometimes
more specifically And the president
elected on those platforms was ex-
pected to carry out or preserve their
provisions So far as lay in his power.
The same was expected of congress.
and never have the legislative and ex-
ecutive power broken the platform
pldges.
For the first time in the history of
the Republican party it is proposed to
break faith with the people. In the
platform adopted in 1896 the only in
dustry singled out for specific pledge
