REPUBLICAN
PLATFORM

The resolutions adopted by the con-
vention were drawn up by Frank T.
Post. They open with the usual allie
glance to the national republican party
principles. The second paragraph is DIS
follows;
In the spirit of sadness and sor-
row we again commiserate with oul
ancient antagonist. In 1896 we took
from her grasp a poyerty-striken ma
ton and Immediately restored bust
ness confidence and ever since there
has been peace, prosperity and plenty
for the wage Garner, the farmer, the
manufacturer, the merchant-for all
who would do honest work with their
heads or their hands. In 1896 the
democrats advocated as a panacea for
the ills they had brought on the coun~
try the free coinage of silver and pre-
dicted universal bankruptcy if their
medicine was not taken. Today their
leaders in this state as well as else
where admit that folly and repudiate
that platform. In 1900 they resolved
for free silver, but in milder tones and
vociferously attacked the administra-
ton as to its Philippine policy. Today
the alleged policy of the democratic
party concerning the Philippines lies
cold and forgotten beside free silver,
states rights and free trade in the
mausoleum of that party"
The platform further instructed the
delegates to the state convention to
vote for resolutions instructing the
delegates to the national convention
to vote for Roosevelt's termination
Another plank provided for an APP
rointive bipartisan railroad commits
zion and instructed the county dele
cation to the state convention to vote
for such a commission. The course
Of the present senators and represen-
tatives was commended.
1--WE likewise instruct the delegates
10 the state convention to vote unan-
imously for the nomination of Honor
able Henry Mcbride for governor so
long as he shall be candidate for that
Office before that convention and to
use every honorable effort and means
to secure such nomination"
1--WE direct our legislative nominees
to give their loyal support to the pas
sage of an anti-pass law.
1--WE favor the election of Charles
Sweeny as one Of the delegates to the
next national convention and the nom
iration of Honorable Herman d. Grow
for judge Of the supreme court and
the nomination of w. NJ. Shaw. Esq,
for state treasurer.
"In 1893 Honorable Wesley L. Jones
and Francis W. Cushman were first
elected as our representatives in con-
gress. They were reelected in 1900
and again in 1909 and by long, faithful
and able service have attained posi-
tions Of national prominence and of
usefulness to the people of this state.
We favor their re nomination"

The Edison theater has enjoyed goo'

The Edison theater has enjoyed good
patronage all this week, and deserved
ly so, because the performance was
the best that has yet been offered at
that pretty and comfortable place of
amusement. Tonight and tomorrow
will be the last opportunities the public
will have to witness this splendid en-
tertainment.
The bill next week will be equally
strong, and the public are beginning to
realize that the Edison is a permanent
institution with live and liberal policy
that is here to stay.
A new system of electric fans will
be installed during the coming week
under the supervision of the sanitary
board, which will guarantee proper
ventilation and make the theater de-
lightfully cool during the summer.

OPENING new LANDS.
'tMOffat Road Is Attracting Settlers
to Portions of Colorado.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 13.-Settlers are
beginning to pour into the northwest
ern part of Colorado which is being
opened up by the Denver, Northwest
ern & Pacific railroad, a line being
built from Denver to Salt Lake by
D. H. Moffat, a Colorado capitalist.
The road opens up a rich strip of
country 500 miles long by ESQ miles
wide, hitherto without a railroad be-
cause of the immense height of the
watershed just west of Denver. The
new road has been built across the
Continental divide at a point 60 miles
from Denver, reaching a height of H.
$50 feet above the sea, the highest
standard gauge railroad in the world.
The ''Moffat Road as the new line
is called. shortens the distance to Salt
Lake 235 miles. The country through
which it runs is rich in mineral and
agricultural prospects and hundreds of
cars of cattle have already been
shipped over it to Denver. Two years
will be required to connect Denver
and Salt Lake by the new line and
open up the new territory, immensely
profitable to both cities.
Claims are being filed in large num-
bers daily in the government land Of
fees by settlers who are going into
the new country in advance of the

CALLS PARKER MOSES.
Bryan Says He Has Surrendered to the
Judge.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 1S.-Every
available inch of floor space in Tomlin-
son hall was crowded last night during
a political meeting which marked the
close of the first day of w. J. Bryan s
tour of inspector. Mr.. Bryan arrived
in Indianapolis in a special train hav-
ing spoken at Rockville, Veec>~rsburg
and Charlottesville en- route from Terre
Haute. During the hours preceding the
meeting Mr. Bryan held a public re-
ception at hotel.
An illuminated parade escorted Mr..
Bryan and the reception committee to
the hall. John w. Kern. Democrat
introducing Mr. Bryan said:
Il present to you man who came
out of the campaign of 1902 with
strong hold on the affections of the
American people but he came from the
st. Louis convention with a stronger
hold on the affections of the Democrat
party than he ever had before"
Mr.. Bryan was greeted with cheering
and the waving of hats and handker-
chiefs. He began:
II have appeared in this hall in a
different role from that in which
now appear. I come tonight not as a
Moses to guide the party but on an
errand, speaking of whom L call a
Moses Alton B. Parker"
Throughout his speech, in which he
insisted that it was not for the sake
OF appearance of being in line but
through sincerity that he championed
united eDmocrat party, Mr.. Bryan was
interrupted by repeated cheers and the
large crowd remained attentive until
the end.

REFORM IN NAVAL LAW.
Judge Advocate General Will Ask
Congress for a Change.

Washington, Oct. 13.-Such is the
lack of uniformity in the sentences
imposed by summary courts martial in
the navy and so imperatively necessary
does he regard a remedy for this con-
dition that Captain S. w. B. Diehl,
judge advocate general of the navy, in
his annual report approved by Secre-
tary Morton today announces his inten-
ton to ask at an early date for an in
vestigation of the whole subject by a
board of officers appointed by the de-
partment.
Limitations" he says, Gin the pun
ishments to be assigned under the stat
utes for various offenses should be pre-
scribed by the department, these to be
of an advisory and instructive nature
so far as relates to the exercises of the
judicial function
Because of the annual increasing de-
mands of the present system upon the
time of the younger officers for sum-
mary court martial duty, Captain Diehl
recommends authorization by congress
of a summary court of one officer in
stead of four as is now required for
the trial of minor offenses.
Legislation is requested providing
for the reinforcement of the attend
ance of civilian witnesses before naval
court; the organization of examining
and retiring boards, merging the pro-
fessional and medical boards into one
board and remedying the present cum
bersome two board system and the
converting of general court martial in
the island possessions of the United
States by officers in command of such
stations; the present law making it in
competent for the department to dele
gate such authority to officers.

yard, Mare Island, and to that at the

CANTEEN a MORAL FORCE.
Another Army Officer Adds His Testi-
mony to the Mass.

Washington, Oct 1S-That the can
teen is of great moral benefit to the
army is the claim made by Brigadier
General G. H. Burton, in his annual
report as inspector general of the
army to the secretary of war, made
public today.
ut seems to be almost the unani-
nous sentiment of the army he says,
'.that the one thing lacking to meet
the soldiers wants and tastes is the
canteen feature. The absence of this
leads to sickness, the commission of
military offenses, desertion and other
crimes, as we'll as impaired discipline,
by driving men to resort to the low
dives and groggeries that have sprung
up like mushrooms around military
reservations since the prohibition law
was enacted. In fact, the canteen fea-
ture is not only a benefit morally, but
the profits derived from the sale of
beer and light wines are used to i'm
prove the mess as we'll as for the pur-
chase of periodicals, publications, etc,
all of which add to the soldiers COM
fort and contentment."
General Burton then quotes the in
spector general of the Philippine divi-
sion as saying, regarding the canteen:
Its absence is seriously felt. The
effect. especially in the provinces, is to
encourage men in the use of various
native drinks, in some instances of
opium
In criticism of recent instructions
from the war department fixing the
term of duty in the Philippines of
staff officers at three years, General
Burton quotes the inspector general
of that division as saying that few
men in their third year of continuous
service in the islands are in their nor
NAL condition of physical and mental
vigor." 1t is further believed that a
third year of continuous service will
result in so great an increase in the
number of officers invaded home or
who return to the states broken in
health, requiring months of leave and
rest for recuperation, that no economy
to the government will result
In general he finds the conditions OF
the several departments and inst1tu-
lions of the army good and Wen ad-
ministered.
