Peoples Party Platform.

Adopted at Springfield M July A. 1904.
The Peoples party reanirms It's adherence
70 the basic truths OF the Omaha platform Of
1892, and OF the subsequent platforms Of 1896
and 1900. In session In its fourth national
convention, on July 4. 1904, In the city OF
Springfield, Illinois, Il draws inspiration from
the day that saw the birth Of the nation, as
wen as the birth Of the party, and also from
the soul OF him who lived at its present place
Of meeting.
We renew our allegiance to the old fashion
ed American spirit that gave this nation exist
ance, and made Il distinctive among the peO-
pies OF the earth. We again sound the key
note OF the Declaration OF independence, that
all men are created equal In a political sense,
which Is the sense that Instrument. being q
political document, intended that the utter
ance should be understood. We assert that
the departure from this fundamental truth Is
responsible for the ills from which we suffer as
a nation that the giving OF special privileges
to the few has enabled them 70 dominate me
many, thereby tending to destroy the political
equality which Is the corner stone OF demo-
cratic government.
We can for a return to the truths OF the
fathers, and we vigorously protest against the
spirit OF mammonism and Of the thinly-veled
monarchy that is invading certain sections OF
our national life, and of the very administra-
ton itself. This is a nation Of peace, and We
deplOre the appeal to o spirit OF force and mil
itarism which Is shown In M-edvised and vain
glorious Boosting, and, In more harmless ways,
In the denial OF the rights OF man under natur'
al law.
A practical democracy and an industrial
d~espOtism cannot exist side by side and no
where is this truth more plainly shown than In
the gigantic ~mOnopOlies which have bred all
sorts OF kindred trusts, subverted the govern
ments OF many OF the states, and established
their oficial agents In the national govern
ment. We submit that Is IL better for the gov
eminent TO the railroans than for the rail-
roads 70 the government and that one or
the other alternative seems Inevitable.
We can the attention OF our fellow citizens
to the fact that the surrender OF both OF the
old parties to corporate influence leaves the
Peoples party the only party Of reform In the
nation.
Therefore, we submit the following platform
OF principles to the American people:
The issuing OF none IS o function OF gov
ernment, and should never be delegated 70
corporations or individuals. The constitution
gives 70 congress alone power to coin money

WAR ON MOSQUITOES
INSTRUCTIONS THAT SHOULD BE
READ CAREFULLY.
The Marine Hospital Service Begins
Work to Exclude Yell
low Fever.

TIE marine hospital service has already
begun the battle on the Texas Doroer
against the mosquito and all other agencies
of yellow fever. 1t Is proposed, II possipie'
to prevent yellow fever from crossing the
Mexican border this year, and the marine
hospital authorities are receiving the CO.
operation of the Mexican health authors
ties. Yellow fever reached Laredo. Tex,
late last year, but did not spread any
further north than San Antonio, where It
was soon checked by cool weather. 1t IS
feared that IL the disease crosses the
American border early this year there Will
be great danger of fearful spread of the
yellow peril.
The Mexican health authorities are work
ing with the Mexican people to make them
understand that the mosquito conveys tne
disease and that 1t must be extermlnateo.
The marine hospital publishes in Its weekly
report translation of the instructions Is.
sued by the mayor of the Mexican city OF
Laredo for the destruction of mosquitoes.
These instructions SO thoroughly educate
those who read them that the pupnc
health authorities in this country think
they ought to be read carefully by every
American. They are as follows:
L Mosquitoes breed only in deposits OF
clean water
3. Mosquitoes live in the vicinity where
they breed Invasions from distance are
rare.
. g. The larvae of the mosquito live In the
water from seven to twelve days. NOT
withstanding that they are natives OF the
water, the mosquito larvae must rise to the
surface to breathe the free air.
4. If the surface of the water Is covered
with petroleum the larvae can not breathe
and they die.
5. Destroy the water deposits where the
mosquitoes breed and their breeding will be
avoided.
g. Empty all tubs. buckets flower pots,
vases ETC., at least every two days.
T. All pools, bitches or wells should be
g. Water intended for beasts, chickens
and all other animals should be renewed
daily.
8. All water that can not be drained
should be covered with petroleum-5O grams
to each square meter Of surface. The Oil
does not injure the water intended for use
IL 1t is drawn from below by means OF
pump or other medium.
TO- All cisterns, wells or tanks OF water
in daily use should be covered with wire
screens.
H. Deposits that do not admit of the use
of petroleum such as watering places for
animals, will require the precautiOn OF re-
newing the water daily and cleaning the
deposits.
r. Vegetation around pools or wells OF
water should be destroyed. as it furnishes
shelter for the adult mosquito.
ID. Absolute cleanliness should be OBJ
served In vacant blocks and lots, and all
trash should be burned.
