THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the re-
publican national convention Wed.
neSday, without any regard to the
sOundness OF its constitutional and
its economic doctrines, is about the
worst v offered by a party as a
statement Of general principles In
the first place, it is not a statement
Of general principles at all. In para
graphs Of about equal length It
reviews (l) the ancient history Of the
republican party, ~ contrasts the
administration Of Cleveland With
those Of Mckinley and Roosevelt,
(3) declares what are conceived to be
the great works of the last four years
Of republican rule, a. states a pro.
gramme Of offensive and defensive
action, and, (5) INDUCES In ~iatterlng
comment upon the character and
qualities Of President Roosevelt.
The platform" is mostly bar
rangue, much Of It worse than any
discreet barbecue speaker would dare
to be guilty Of. Take for instance
this, not because 1t is the worst but
only because it is the first the eye
fall on: "For deficient revenues, sup
plemented by %improvident Issues o.

such az income? The farmers hayI

a navy powerful enough to maintain
the Monroe doctrine; to continue the
exclusion Of Chinese labor; to main.
tain the civil service law as 1t has
been maintained; to be mindful Of
the soliieps and sail rs; to guard our
growing interests ia China; and to
reduce representation in the Southern
states which have restrict ID suffrage.
Besides these promises the platform
remarks on the prot"ctiJn OF Amer
leans travelling in foreign lands; com
binatlons Of capital aud labor as
economic movements Of the age; aud

gether the platform is abominable.
Indeed platforms Of all parties are
becoming more abominable every
year. Why cannot parties write ever
lastingi platforms Of essentials with a
brief appendix on the transient issues
Of the campaign for which they are
designed? For INSTANCE the great
body Of a democratic platform might
have been written by Jefferson a
hundred years ago; forty lines on the
issues of today would be ample.

Some of the new leaders Of the
democracy 10 Missouri are proceeding
upon the assumption that the lnde
pendent vote in the state is very
large and that by minimizing party
standards and magnifying common
places vast acceSsions are to be made
to the democratic vote from OUT Of
the great unknown. Honesty i to
be made an issue. Honesty is IL be
heralded as a recent discovery, like
the big red ant OF Guatemala, winch
is SAID to devouT the boil weevil.
Party workers are to be retired. If a
man has labored for the party which
has given the state Of Missouri the
best government Of any state in the
union, it is to be taken for granted
that he is out OF sympathy with the
missouri Idea" The great body of
missouri democrats nave very little
patience with such a course. They
may have differed widely in choice OF
a candidate for governor or in prefer
ence for a candidate for president,
but they are little influenced by the
meddlesome advice Of the Globe
Democrat and the Kansas City Star.
That such is the case is shown by the
instructions given by the counties in
the case Of the minor state officers.
The endorsements of Cook and Allen
are not altogether tributes to the
worth and character Of these men,
but are also an expression Of the
distrust of a movement
seeks more than to recognize
Mr.. Folks work-seekS to discoun-
tenance the party's past and to bid
for doubtful advantages.

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTION.

1t is very difficult to conjecture the
national democratic situation at
present. Hearst seems to be out Of 1t.
Parker has not been getting instruc-
tionS lately, and though he is 10 the
lead he has not and will not have
enough instructed delegates to nom.
mate him. II the daily press is to be
credited there are a number Of states
whose conventions were favorable to
Parker which could have given in
structions for him IL they had desired
to do so, and which chose delegates
known to be favorable to him II
such is the case aud If these states
have considerably Tefrained from
instrncting for their choice in the
hope Of preventing bitter criticism
before the nomination occurs and Of
accomplishing their purpose as If by
conversion on the spot, then ParKer
may be chosen on the second or third
ballot. But such a proceeding is very
unusual and would indicate rare
consideration of the opinions OF others.
Still this view has as much foundation
as any other.
Another view is that neither Parker
nor Bryan and his following will have
a two thirds vote in the convention;
and that a compromise will be effected
on Cockrell or some other conservative
man not Objectionable to either side.
Another view is that the Parker
element and the Bryan element win
stand firm BY their colorS through a
long period OF balloting and that at
the proper moment an effort will be
made to stampede the convention to
Francis or Folk, There are a score
Of other %conjectures that might be
made, but these three seem to have
the strongest root 10 reason.

In parolinG Carey Snpder lwho wa
sentenced 10 his court this week Il

Judge WofTord of Kansas City said;
"Now 60 to work. There nothing

make a living without working. Yor
can't be respectable without working.
l want you to do we'll. You will bt

less criminal degenerate unworthy OF
the confidence Of the court. But the
words Of Judge Wotford in pro-
nounclng the parole cannot be too
highly commended. The strangest
phenomenon of the age is this, that
although work is known and acknowl-
edged to be the foundation both Of
virtue and happiness, leisure is still
the ideal Of society. No matter what
sentimentalistS may say, the cardinal
virtues, the virtues upon which the
progress of the world and the we'll
being OF the race depend, r work
and thrift. Nationally there a be
no such thing as wealth, comfort, arts,
or even civilization without them.
Without them the virtues OF the
North American Indian are the high
est that have been attained in oil the
experience Of the races. Work pro-
duces the things that men desire and
and thrift conserves them. The
idler, the spendthrift, the thief and
the robber are differentiated by unim-
portant distinctions. They T all
parasites. They are all dead weights
upon the workers, proper objects of
aversion and contempt.
Judge wofTord certainly took an
advanced position when he said,
"You can't be respectable without
working" Why can't colleges send
home our boys wearing class pins with
some such inscription instead of the
conventional Greek letter emblems?
Bill boards and every lOaing place
ought to be placarded, "You can't be
respectable without working" And
you can't. II you don't work you are
already half a thief. Somebody must
do double work on your account or
else the capital stock of society must
depreciate by the amount you con-
sumo "You can't be respectable
without working" The Good Book
doesn't put 1t in that way. 1t hasI
mighty little to do with "~respecta-
bility." Responsibility is a very
modern word, very modern. But the
Good Book does present an interesting
and adverse comparison between the
no%n-provident and the infdel; it
pictures with indignation the slug.
gard, the the field Of the slothful',
the 'idlers in the market places; and
the Master himself boasted-boasted,
