The Democratic state convention
has met and adjourned. The plat
form adopted is INCIDENTALLY a weak
one, and the vigorous fight put up
by the minority to include some Of
the Republican party's planks into the
platform. gives ample proof that the
party is lacking in harmony, and that
the dissention among Wisconsin Demo-
Gratis is as deep rooted as in the Re
publican party, claims to the contrary
Notwithstanding. The mere fact that
it was only after hard fight that the
primary election plank was rejected,
shows how divided the Democratic
party is.
1t is conceded. however, that one
reason why the primary election was
| favored was, because it was known
that many Democrats favor such a law
and will vote the Republican ticket to
support it.
The platform favors two-cent rail
road rate. The Republican party has
satisfactorily regulated this matter in
the past in so far that it has abolished
the free pass nuisance, aud can be de-
pended upon to further adjust and re-
duce railroad fares.
Regarding the adjustment of freight
rates the Democratic platform is not
unlike that of the Republicans, who
favor laws which will prevent excessive
freight charges and freight discrim-
nations. The difference lies in the
manner of applying the law to the best
advantage.
The whole Democratic platform is
unsatisfactory to many in the party, as
some of the main points therein are
along the same lines as the planks in
the Republican platform. The only
stand of any consequence taken by the
convention was against primary cleo
tions; it is a platform that will not ap-
peal to the average voter, and shows
the party to be without real issue,
upon which to gain support.

The Republican platform and the mott
ficatlon day speeches tell what has
been done in the past three years and
there is no need to repeat here the

erybody knows, but it may be worth
while in making up judgment as to
whether President Roosevelt is emit
tied to the election which he seeks.
to recall the circumstances under
which his great Office was devolved
upon him. aud to compare his record
with those Of former vice presidents
called to the White House. Many men
who are not yet ready to call them
selves aged re call johnson succession
to Lincoln, while Arthur to Garfield s
is even yet fresh in the public mind
No one whose memory goes back a
generation has forgotten the regime of
Andrew johnson, the administration
marked by the most unsavory and dis
couraging incidents in American lis
tory. True the times were strenuous;
the issues grave and many of the
problems demanding craftsmanship
and patriotism Of the highest order.
Precisely like was the situation when
President Roosevelt was suddenly
called to William McKinley's duty,
and what wonderful contrast be-
tween his methods and policies and
those or his predecessor thirty years
before. Promptly and publicly COM
hitting himself to the principles and
purposes of President Mckinley, he
faithfully observed his pledges and
made his admin istration the pride and
satisfaction:of every American citizen.

Big Enterprises Cost Money.

Senator Davis, taking his cue from
the New York World and other Demo
cratic papers, made the attempt to
show that the administration of Pres
ident Roosevelt had been extravagant
in the extreme and that our expendi-
lures per capita were greater than at
any previous period. 1t is true that
Mr.. Davis did present a table showing
that our present per capita expendi-
lures are greater than at certain pre-
viOus years which he used in COMPARE
son. 1t would be very easy, however,
to select other years, and many of
them. too, in which our per capita ex-
penditures largely exceeded those of
the past year under President Roose-
welt. 1t must be remembered, how
ever, that the Executive does not make
the appropriations. They are made by
the Congress, and the Executive has
no alternative but to carry out the
laws as enacted, whether they be ex-
travagant or otherwise. The fact is,
however, that all things considered,
our present expenditures are exceed
ingly moderate.
Without discussing the question of
Imperialism, we have on our hands the
Philippines, which must be guarded
and protected at whatever cost. We
rank among the foremost nations Of
the earth, and every loyal patriot is
DESTROYS that our navy should be of
such proportions as to carry with it
peace, because we are prepared for
war.
The Inauguration of the Panama
canal, towards which we have already
appropriated fifty millions of dollars,
is another expenditure that no loyal
American regrets. Our rural free de-
livery service, for which the last yea"
we appropriated over twenty millions
of dollars, is another additional ex-
pense not known to previous admins
trations.
Large responsibilities carry with
them large expenditures, but it may
be added that the American people are
not being taxed to-day at any greater
rate per capita than has been the case
for many years and during many dec

No Experiments, Please.

Building up prosperity under wise
legislation is long process. But as
was evidenced in 1898, it is a very
quick and easily accomplished matter
TO tear down prosperity. The Demo
cratic party is now repeating the tao
tics of the last Cleveland administra-
ton. It is asking the voters of this
country to authorize it to make a
change.
It is not being unnecessarily
harsh to say that our experience in
late years has been that when the
Democratic party made change it
was change for the worse. This
time the party does not profess to be
able to make complete change.
Judge Parker in his speech of accept
ance admitted that the Democrats
could not entirely GUST the Republican
control of the Government.
ss''But'' the Democrats say, "give US
just little more chance to make a
7 change. Let us do what we can to
turn things around and upside down.
just give us the administration of the
executive branch of the Government
and the House of Representatives, and
we bet we will do something"
ze Al.
executive they could do something
and given control of the House they
could block the Republicans from
further wise legislation.
But do the people want the Demo
Gratis to tamper in half-baked ia
shion with existing legislation? Is
not wise administration of existing
laws better than experiments in Gov
eminent.
The people know exactly what they
have on the statute books and they
have seen the results of the laws. The
three main questions which enter into
politics and s,atemantship at this time
relate to the tariff the financial sys-
tenn and the control of the Philip
pines. We have had fair trial of ad-
ministration of existing laws on these
subjects. 1t is fair to say that the
country is reasonably satisfied because
the results have been good.
The Dingley tariff has resulted in
making work at good wages for our
artisans, and our manufacturers have
gone after and captured the markets
of the world with the surplus of goods
left over after supplying the home
market. The gold standard law which
was enacted by the Republican party
In the face of the fercest opposition of
the Democrats, opposition which for
the moment is quiescent but not dead,
has made the United States the fnan-
cial peer in the world The legisla-
tian in behalf Of the Philippines has
bfoHght peace 20 the islands, sent
Aneriesn schools and American civil
zatiQa. with promise OF still better
thipse 20 come.
Nows,Athea country knows about these
laws, all Republican laws, and
knows how they are working out.
Would it not be wiser to continue wise
administration of existing laws, than

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
md strong while others stay
mall and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
ot food, but because the food
Ices not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion reallyfeeds
and gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems to find
it and set the matter right.

the hope that they would give them to
persons who were in need.

fatal accident. Saturday afternoon. He
had harnessed one of his heavy horses
to dump cart and was about to drive
away when the animal became fright

young and powerful and Mr.. Lewis
was unable to manage him. AS they
came into the street from the drive
way, the driver could not make the
turn. The horse plunged against a
hydrant, throwing himself and unseat-
