A Short. Terse Statement Of the Democratic
Creed,


Greed.
Following is the platform, as pre-.
sented to the convention by Chairman
Goodyear, of the platform and resolu-
tons committee, and adopted by that
body:
We. your Committee on Platform and
Resolutions, do respectfully report as fol-
lows:
We hereby indorse and ratify the NOM
nation for President and Vice President
of Alton b. Parker and Henry G. Davis,
and the platform OF the national DEM
ocracy as announced by the st. Louis
convention. and pledge them our support.
1--WE believe that the paramount and
all-important issue in this campaign is
the question of whet her the people shall
regulate the corporations or the corpora
tons dominate the State. We emphati-
cally assert the right of the people to
regulate the corporations, and therefore
demand, first, the creation of a nonparti-
san, regulative railway commission, to be
appointed by the Governor. with power
to adjust and regulate freight and passen-
ger rates on all common carriers, and
also with power to fix the value of and
levy taxes upon the property of all public
service corporations doing an interstate
sage of an anti-pass bill.
1--WE demand the passage of a bill di-
viding the State into congressional dis
tricts in accordance with the plain man.
date Of the Constitution.
"A judge ought not to owe his post 10
politicians or partisan influences, and we
therefore declare unreservedly for the
enactment of law providing for the non.
partisan selection of our judiciary.
I" We condemn the present road law as
iniquitous legislation, and demand its re-
peal and the enactment of Legislation
which will insure the establishment and
maintenance of good thOroughfares for
the people. We favor the legislation pro.
posed by the Washington State Fedora.
ton OF Labor, and pledge our Legislative
nominees to vote for the same :
I'VE favor the passage of q bill by the
Legislature providing for the nomination
Of candidates for public office by direct
primaries.
I'VE favor an administration of the
public land laws Of the State that will
prevent the sale of its timber lands fol
speculative or monopolistic purposes
We favor national system of irrigation
and governmental ownership and con.
troll OF all lakes, watersheds and Other
sources OF water supply for irrigation in
and contiguous to the arid lands OF this

I'VE indorse the administration of Viii

Accord Honor to Whom 1t is Due.

The Tacoma Ledger, in abiding to
visit of Capt. Sumner |. Kimball,
General Superintendent of the United
States Life Saving Service, claims
that he is the venerable father OF that
branch Of humanitarian work in the
United States, for the reason that
thlrty-three years OF his life have been
devoted to it. While we would not
detract in the least from the many
years OF service OF Capt. kimball, JUS
tice to the memory of one OF Wash
lngton's most noted executives re-
qures the statement that the credit OF
originating the service and the title of
" father Of the movement belongs to
him, for the preliminary work done
several years before the date Capt.
kimball's service begins, according to
the Ledger in 1871, which is the date
OF it's general extension. Gov. VIM. A.
Newell, in the early Cos, then a Con
gresham from New Jersey, introduced
a bill and obtained an appropriation
for $4,000. to demonstrate the feast.
bility as we'll as utility OF life saving
stations on the American seaboard.
The first experimental work was in
augurated on the Jersey coast, OF
which Mr.. Newell was superintendent
for several years. 1t proved success
from the beginning. 1t now numbers
273 stations, 1876 being on the Atlantic
Coast, 60 on the lakes, 16 on the Pa
citic Coast and one at the falls of Ohio,
at Louisville, Ky. There have been
since the institution of the general
service 14,076 disasters, involving in
round numbers $2lO.OOO,OO of prop
erty and the saving OF 100000, a
loss Of less than one.fifth OF the ag.
gregate. The number of lives saved
has been 1900, and loss during the
whole third of century, only 1927.
All this is the outgrowth OF the ex-
perimental stations on the New Jersey
coast, whose conception and Inaugural
ton were the work of William A.
Newell, Governor of this State from
1850 to 1884.
