Features of Platform.
Springfield, Aug. 21.-The platform
renews the faith and adherence Of the
Illinois republicans 10 the principles
expressed in the national platform of
1904. Regarding the tariff the plat
form says:
I'VE do not hold that any particular
schedule Of tariff duties must be of
endless duration, but on the contrary
when changing business and industrial
conditions shall be benefited by the
modification OF any existing tariff
schedule. the republican party holds
itself ready to make such needed
changes. The necessity for such change
must arise from a fair and candid con-
sideTation of all business and indus
trial interests of the whole country"
Approves Administration.
Legislation passed by the last ses-
sion Of congress IS heartily approved,
and continuing the platform says: I'VE
commend The policy of the national ad-
ministration characterized by the en-
forccmont ce laws. by determination to
see 10 it that, in so far as the power
of his great Office will permit, every
man shall have square deal, have
characterized him as one OF the braY-
est. most fearless and most just men
who ever held the high office of presi-
dent of the United States.
Influence Abroad.
Under his wise and energetic adj
ministration his inuence for good has
not been confined to our own country,
but the influence of the United States
among the nations of the earth. both
in war and in peace. and among the
great nations no less than among the
smaller states, has been a potential
factor in all that works for the good
Of mankind"

Noxious Weed Problem.

this state requires all land owners
to destroy all noxious weeds on
such lands between the first day
Eof June and the fifteenth day of
August. The weeds included in
this provision are the Canadian
thistle, cockle-bur mustard, wild
oats, French weed and Russian
thistle, The law further provides
shat such weeds shall be moved
and the soil summer fallowed or
the weeds pulled rand burned as
often as will efsctually prevent
them from bearing seeds during
the time specified
It would seem that there should
be no. occasion for such a law,
especially in a state.wholly devot-
ed to agriculture. It only proves
the statement to often, however,
that the farmers are their own
worst enemies.
Noxious weeds on a farm not
only Indicate slotbful. methods but
are decided money Users to the
owner. There can be-: but a GER
tain number of plants grown on a
30 -
specified area, and while the old
theory about making tive stalks Of
wheat grow where one formerly
grew has been made a condition,
it is certain that one wheat stock
cannot grow where. one weed stock
does. Every weed allowed to de-
velope on the farm deprives the
land of the opportunity of sustain
ing just that number of grain
stocks,
/. The seed of these weeds are
threshed with the grain and must
be removed at considerable ex-
pense, or else go to reduce the
grade of the grain on the market,
thereby depreciating the market
value.
It is therefore evident that the
law only requires the Individual to
do that which he should do be-
cause of the benefits to be derived
from it Individually.
The lawmakers evidently had
some other purpose in view when
they framed the law. This was
the protection of the progressive
and Industrious farmer against the
injuries which come from the care
less and unprogressive methods of
his fellow agrioulturalists.
The inoculation of the adjacent
farms from the seed that the ele-
ments distribute makes it almost
impossible to keep any farm in
close proximity to the seed source
free from the pest. !
The law provides that in case
any owner OF occupier of land
shall fail or refuse to comply with
the requirements of the statute,
The board of county commissioners
shall proceed to destroy such
and shall have the amount

The guests included representatives of a
wide variety of interests the local Bar as
ISOLATION, the ministry, the Young Mems
and Young Women's Christian associations,
women's club, probation officers and others
interested in sociological problems. and
especially the juvenile court. Following the
luncheon Miss Mcdowell spoke of the work
of the court in Chicago, from the necessity
of the first juvenile judge to apologize for
Office on the ground that he felt called to
undertake the work, to the present time,
when the office of Juvenile judge is one of
the most respected. She emphasized the
necessity of divorcing pull and politics from
the office of probation officer and the ne
cessity Of employing only persons of natural
fitness and broad culture for this Office.
upon which depends so much of the success
Of the court.

LICENSE, BUT NO FIANCEE
Young Man BOrrOvs Money to Get
Document and Then Girl
JiIts Him.

Arthur f. FietZ a young man from Coun-
ell Bluffs, has one marriage license which
he is unable either to use or dispose of.
His plight, according to the story he told
at the county judges office yesterday, is
due to the refusal of the young woman,
Miss Clara Mae Oliver also of Council
Rluffs, to carry out her part of the con-
tract. Mr. Fietz called at the county
judges office and wanted his money back,
but he was told there was no provision in
the law for refunding money in such cases
and that he must consider himself stuck"
1t was suggested that he keep the license
while and perhaps the young woman
would change her mind back again. In
case she remained firm in her refusal only
one possible course to realize on his money
is open to him. 1t was suggested II might
be possible to substitute another name for
that of Miss Oliver.
Fietz made application for the license
Monday, but as he had only 81 and the le-
gal price for the document is s. he was
unable to get it. Yesterday morning he
appeared again in company with a friend
who put UP half of the price of the license.
Later in the day he returned with the an
nouncement that the young woman had
backed out. When he was told she might
change her mind and decide to marry him.
he very emphatically declared he was
through with her.

The rules committee of the National
