Truth Not Partisan.


A fallacious doctrine, whether found
ed on false opinion or sprung from a
bad intention, is only designed for spe-
cial circumstances and consequently
for certain time, but the truth is for
al time, even though it may be misun-
derstood or smothered for awhile.
Since it has not originated in the in
terests of any party every superior
mind will be its champion at any time.

THE P'I.A TFORM.

The republican platform Is more
remarkable for what 1T leaves ont
than for what is in it. j
There is nothing about the income
tax nor the inherit ance tax, both
strongly advocated by President
Roosevelt.
The plank for election of U. S.
senators by the people, doctrine
approved by the vast majority OF
people in all parties, was defeated,
500 to ia. The republicans OF
Minnesota have favored this in their
platforms, but the Minnesota delega-
ton voted against it. The plank
providing for publicity of campaign
contributions was defeated, $50 to 81,
although Taft, as well as Bryan,
claims to favor such law.
The plank providing for physical
valuation of railroads was defeated by
about the same vote as the others.
The courts say justice cannot be done
to railroads without knowing what
their valuation is, so rate can be
fixed which will be fair return on
that valuation. LaFollette, as well
as Bryan, urges that the people learn
by thorough investigation what that
value is. The convention wouldn 4
have it.
In the face of one of the worst
panics in American history, the
platform on which Taft stands talks
of republican prosperity, while 500, O0O
freight cars lie unused, and the
breadline is a familiar sight in every
big city. The excuse offered is that it
would have been worse under demo
cratic rule.
The tariff plank was intended to
please the revisionists, but doesn't
promise any revision downward. The
standpatters, if they control will
interpret that revision upward. The
full dinner pail was not mentioned.
The anti-injunction plank doesn't
please those for whom it was intended
as sop, an will be interpreted in the
light Of Taft's labor record. i
The currency bill is praised, bill
which the republican member from
the 9Th district found so bad hi
couldn It vote for it, a bill bearing the
smell of Standard oil and the marks
Of Wall street. ..
The platform fails to mention thai
the democrats came to the president
support many times when his owl
party was against him, and tina
without their aid the pure food bill
and the railroad rate bill, among
others, would never have passed.
The platform lacks the positivenes
of the 1904 platform, and is about a.
evasive and weak a one as was eve
adopted.

John Adams and Thomas Jefferson
and John G. Calhoun were among the
great Americans who served as vice
president. If most of those mentioned
now for the Office could hope to
measure up in ability with these men
and to make one-half the impress they
made on the world, they would be
very lucky indeed. Two of the three
became president, but if they had never
reached the executive chair, their
fame would still endure as long as the
republic. The vice presldent has
little power, but he has the possibility
of achieving the presidency, and no
man should be named for vice
president if too small for the Office of
chief magistrate. -

Some Famou. Puns.

Witty though the redoubtable Sam
uel Johnson was at times, he had a
strange antipathy to punning "a man,
sir, who would make pun would pick
pocket" he said on one occasion.
And yet many Of the cleverest men
that ever lived have been incorrigible
punsters.

Instantly, "what the difference is b.

Eagle is allied to the vultures of
Wall street: Like other metropolitan

Randolph's mackerel in the moonlight,
''shine and stink, and stink and

masses. In 1904, the Eagle the New

the Times, supported Parker, and he
lost the Empire State by tremendous
vote. The plutocratlc press will be
found on the side of Taft and Sherman
in this campaign. Sherman IS thei1
kind, and Taft has evidently made his
peace with them.

The republican platform is real
funny in its treatment of the panic.
It admits the panic-says it would
have been worse under democratic
administration. We had expected q
declaration that panics, when coming
under republican rule, are provided by
Heaven as choice gifts to the people,
but under democratic rule they are the
DEVILS work. That would be orthodox,
but the admission that there was a
panic, is something.

THE REPJJBLICsA I1CK ne


The power Sof the federal Office
holders, aided by unlimite funds the
I. unfair vote Of the South, and the
will of the republican president who
rules with q rod Of iron, have foisted
on the republicans Of the United
States candidate for president who
Of himself would never have been able
to win. On the ticket with him,
representatives of evil policies whose
power the manipulators of the steam
roller affected to despise, has been
placed man who stands for every bad
tendency in American politics,
.standpatter, a reactionary, a cog in
the New York machine, man who
can best be judged when it is known
that his personal choice for president
was Cannon.
William H.. Taft is genial
candidate before the people until
now. Every position he has held has
been appointive He has the distinc-
ton of having sent workmen to jail
when he was judge, without giving
them the right to be heard, and
entirely on the one-sided evidence
presented by corporation officials. He
has since made great effort to get
away from the charge, but the spot
will not out. He denounced Boss Cox
one year, and then made terms with
Cox in order to defeat Foraker in
Ohio. One of his campaign managers
assures liberal minded republicans
that Taft would follow Roosevelt's
policies, another makes an alliance
with Wall street and says Taft will be
''safe,' that he will not be
"simpetuous and RASH like the
president. The organs Of plutocracy
! already announce that Taft suits
them. Pierpont Morgan said Good"
when informed of the Ohioan's
nomination; the head of the steel
trust, Judge Gary, was present in the
Chicago convention, and his anxiety
IN behalf of Taft was evident. The
indianapolis News, the leading
republican paper of Indiana, boldly
charges that Taft's managers made a
deal with Wall street. Taft
practically told the people Of Oklahoma
that their constitution was no good.
It didn't leave enough of matters
affecting the liberty of the people to
the judges to decide, and such a thing
is abhorrent to the very judicial mind,
jealous OF it's prerogatives. The
Oklahomans rejected Taft's advice by
100, 900 majority. With the labor
organizations disafected, with he
negro voters d1sgruntled, with the
dinner pail cry as empty as the pail
itself, with many republicans not
relishing the idea of a candidate
forced on them, Taft has thorny
path ahead.
James s. Sherman is the man who
solicited the big campaign contribu-
tion from Hartman in 1904. He is
one OF Cannon's committee on rules,
and one of the men responsible for the
do-nothing congress. He has been
allied with the corrupt elements OF
New York republicanlsm for years.
It is admitted that his nomination was
to make New York safe. In order tc
make New York *ssafe' the steam
roller men took the risk of the
presidency reaching a man whose
policies they claim are dangerous.
Such an action is as full Of hypocrisy
and double dealing as the platform or
! which the candidates stand, and
should doom them to defeat.

This presidential business is not
very fair to the poets. - The bees of
Hybla can't get much honey out of a
name like Taft, and as for Sherman,
there's no melody or mellifuousness
in that. The Parnassan mount will be
rough and difficult with such names
and it will be steep climbing with
such burdens.
Oh say Bill Taft,
You sure are daft
To think you'll win.
Teddy has craft
To sail the raft
But you'll sink in.
When you have fully grasped these
ideas which would make blind Milton
see stars, try to wrap your con-
seriousness around this:
Sherman. w. T., marched to the sea,
And busted the confederacee.
Sherman, Jim. marched to Chicago,
And that's as far as Sherman, Jim
can 60.

And elected he will be. by thunder.

was the most important cog in the

NOMINATION PLEAES HEAD OF
UNITED STEEL CORPORA
TION

Chicago, June 19.-President Gary,
of the United States steel corporation,
has been a prominent figure in the
space reserved for notables at the
Coliseum, and to date has not missed
a session of the big meet. Yesterday
he followed the proceedings with
interest and the expression of his face,
the nervous working of his hands, and
his frequent inquiry of those about
him regarding things which he was
not acquainted with, furnished those
who kept their eyes on him with a
pretty fair insight as to his views
regarding the proceedings throughout.
He smiled when the resolutions were
read, but his brow was wrinkled in a
frown as he followed that Of the
minority report. Later his face
resumed it's pleased expression when
the various planks Of the minority
report we're voted down.
In vigorous way he added his
handclapping to the greeting extended
the name of Speaker Cannon. The
nominating speeches of the others he
followed with languid interest, only
to sit up and take instant notice when
the stampede again was started.
He showed much anxiety and no one
called louder or longer when the
stampede was blocked and the nomina-
ton of Taft announced. Mrs. Gary
sat with her husband, and likewise
showed much interest in the proceed
ings.
