WISCONSIN S WAR CRY
clares sfOr Bryan and Tariff
for Revenue Only.


Milwaukee, June 29-William Jen-
nings Bryan was strongly indorsed as
the standard bea ct of the national
Democratic party in the campaign of
1908 by the Democratic state cOnven-
ton which has adjourned sine d e.
There were only two occasions i'll
which Bryan's name was mentioned
during the day, and those were when
the resolutions were read as whole
and again when the blanks We're adopt
ed separately. In both instances Lis
name was cheered repeatedly and tie
words Bryan. Bryan, Bryan, three
cheers for Bryan" brought forth tu-
mutt of applause which continued some
time before the chairman could restore
order.
The convention held two sessions and
spent several hours celebrating over
a platform of principles, which was
prepared by the committee on resolu-
tons after an all-night session. While
several of the planks embraced in the
document as presented to the conven-
ton were sought to be changed by a
minority of the delegates. with two
exceptions the original draft stands at
the close of the convention as it came
from the committee.
One of these exceptions is the add
ing of a few extra words to the tar
iff plank. favoring the placing free all
commodities supplied by any trust or
monopoly. The other exception is the
adding Of an extra plank denouncing
the contributions of vast sums Of mon
ey for corrupt uses in national and
state affairs. The plank which came
in for the most criticism and consid-
cradle debate was that bearing upon
municipal ownership. National Com
mitteeman Ryan fought hard against
the addition Of the plank, but when
the deciding vote was called for, the
opponents were apparently very few.
The platform denounces trusts and
demands their suppression; favors re-
vision of the tariff on the principle of
tariff for revenue, and the putting on
the free list Of all trust products; de
HldHuS HotlohdI loSCl NdClOh VI an CodI
and oil lands; favors an income tax;
demands a promise with fiXd date of
and for independence of the Philip
pine islands; fayors election of sena-
tors by the people, and government
control Of all public service corpora
tons. AS to state matters the plat
form favors fixing Of railway rates by
the state; city ownership of public serv-
ice utilities, the city control of street
railway fares and gas rates; favors a
2-cent-a-mile law, and laws giving to
capital and labor impartially their
rights; also ad valorem taxation of cor
porations, and primary election laws.

Milwaukee, June 30-State Insur-
ance Commissioner Zeno NJ. Host APP
peared before the Wisconsin life insur-
ance investigating committee and a
large number of officials Of fraternaI
insurance companies. In an address
Host declared as a result of ten years
observation his belief that these So
cieties would not adopt adequate rates
provision. The premium to be paid
from year to year for a fixed amount
Of insurance, he said, must be an in
creasing amount at all times to cover
the full current or actual cost, accord
ing to the attained age of the insured.
The premium to lie paid may he a
fixed amount, as of age at entry, While
from year to year, as the insured grows
older, the amount Of insurance is re-
duced, being graded at all times to the
actual and mathematical purchasing
power of the amount paid. Without
calculating or basing the rate of prelni-
um upon tables Of mortality the policy
Of life insurance becomes a gambling
contract, pure and simple. declared the
commissioner. By no method can life
insurance extending over a period of
more than one year be written with
out the accumulation Of a reserve, or
a gradual increase in cost, and no sys-
TEN has yet been discovered or devised
which will permit ignoring the laws of
mortality and avoid failure and disas-
ter.
eff we are to furnish safeinsurance.' -
said he. 1T behooves US to throw
around the gateway of our institutions
ali proper safeguards, adequate rates,
rigid medical selection, regular in
crease in membership, accountability,
restriction of investments and explicit
contracts"
During the discussion which fol-
lowed several prominent fraternal in
surance officials expressed the belief
that the prevailing rates of that line Of
insurance should be increased. Most
of the day was spent by the fraternal
officers in discussing Hosts recommen-
dations to the committee. Only two of
the frate1naI insurance men present OBJ
jected strenuously to Hosts recon-
mendations. They were Edmund Jack
son, an eX-secretary of the fraternal
congress, and George Boyer, of the
Legion of Honor, Of Indianapolis.

SECRETARY WILSON DECLARES
Does So by the Order of the President
Of the Nation.
Law Is Adequate and Appropriation
Abundant-Discrepa in Time
of Adjournment Is Noted.

Washington, July BY direction Of
the president Secretary Wilson has is
sued the following statement: 'Ameri-
can live stock are the healthiest in the
world. The great plains of the west
produce herds of cattle in which the
percentage Of disease is remarkably
small, and the federal government is
steadily reducing, by approved scien-
titic methods, this small percentage.
The inspection of animals before and
at time of slaughter has always bee.
thorough. 1t is true that the depart
ment of agriculture has heretofore
lacked the power and the money to
provide for an efficient supervision of
sanitation and the methods Of prepar;l-
ton of canned meat food products
Can Guarantee the Product Now.
"The legislation which has just be-
come effective provides the departn ent
of agriculture with an adequate law,
and with ample money to carry it into
effect. Supervision and inspection viii
be extended from the pasture to the
package The federal stamp upon the
can will be a guarantee not only of
the healthfulness of the animal, but
also that the product was prepared in
sanitary surroundings. and with the ad-
ditiOn of no deleterious chemical or
preServative; any meat food product
bearing the government stamp will tie
fit for food.
Law Will Be Executed.
with this law in operation it may
be accepted as fact that for health
fulness and purity the prepared or
canned product will compare favorably
with the fresh meat of the United
States which is, and always has been,
the finest III the world. The new law
is comprehensive, the means for its
enforcement are ample, and its execr-
ton will be thorough. People at home
and abroad may use our meats in CON
fidence."
ChieI Amang Us Takin' Notes.
Lieutenant Colonel p. e. r. Hobbs,
Of the British army, visited Secretary
Wilson with a view to getting his rs.
sistance in investigating United States
meat products. Colonel Hobbs was as
signed by the commissary department
of his army to inquire into contracts

with packers in the United States.
When the new inspection law has been

Special to Times-R Republican.
Webster City, April 3.-The report
of the finding of Canadian thistle seed
in lot of timothy and clover seed
shipped into Kamrar recently by thir
ty-five or forty farmers in and about
that town, created a good deal of ex-
citement there. A representative of the
Sioux City house which sold the seed
was in this city this morning on his
way to Kamrar. He states that the
cry of Canadian thistle was raised by
parties who sell seed in opposition to
him and that there is no truth In the
report Telephone messages from Kam-
rar convey the information that the
Sioux City representative has convinc-
ed most of the farmers that his
seed is pure and that the farmers who
purchased it will plant it, instead OF
burning it as was first reported OF
the two samples of seed sent TO Ames
for testing one contained Canadian
thistle and the other did not 1t Is
said, however, that the most CT the
farmers are convinced the seed is all
right.
