seemed to these Democrats as indicating
reyulsion of public sentiment, and
they have congratulated themselves
and each other on the growth of favor
able conditions to their own party.
These cheerful Democrats are perhaps
trife too sanguine. The members OF
the Republican party may have their
little differences of opinion. They may
and do often criticise each other and
even stand on opposite sides of ques-
tons in which the interests of the gen
eral public are concerned. Yet when it
comes to national campaign, involving
the election of president and national
law makers, they have a happy faculty
for getting together and working Shout
der to shoulder for the success Of the
party and what it represents, which
are principles and policies that com
mand and hold the confidence Of large
majority of the people as a whole. The
people, also, know that the Republican
party is to be relied upon, active and
progressive in all reforms that promise
advancement Of the general good and
welfare. And knowing all this the peo-
pie this year will scarcely undertake a
change, just for the sake Of experiment,
no matter how strongly the Democratic
leaders may urge them to try it.

Republican Platform at a Glance


Roosevelt-The abuse of wealth, the
tyranny of power, and the evils Of priv
ilege and favoritism have been put to
scon by his simple, many virtues Of
justice and fair play We pledge a
continuance of the Roosevelt policies.
Anti-Injunction The Republican par
ty viii uphold the authority of the
courts, but believes the rules Of proceed
ure in federal courts with respect to in
functions should be more accurately de
fined by statute, and that no injunction
should be issued without notice.
Labor The same wise policy
will be pursued in every legitimate di-
rection within federal authority to
tighten the burdens of all who toll.
The Tariff The Republican party de-
clares for a revision Of tariff by spec
ial session Of congress Immediately fol
lowing the Inauguration Of the next
president. We favor the establishment
of maximum and minimum rates to be
administered by the president,
Money An expanding commerce r
and increasing crop movement dis
close the need of a more elastic and
adaptable system.
Trusts r The federal government
should have greater supervision and
control over corporations engaged in
interstate commerce having the power
to create monopohes.
Inland Waterways We call for a
large and comprehensive plan, just to
all portions of the country, to improve
the waterways, harbors and great
lakes.
! Army and Navy While the American
people do not desire and will not pro-
woke war with any other country we
nevertheless declare our devotion to a
policy which will keep this republic
ready at all times to defend her tradi-
tional doctrines
Good Roads We approve the efforts
Of the agricultural department to make
clear to the public the best methods Of
good road construction.
Negroes We demand equal justice
for all men, without regard to race or
color, and condemn all devices for the
Acknowledgement of the negro.
Republican Policy The difference be
tween Democracy and Republicanism is
that one stands for vacilation and tim
idity in government, the other for
strength and purpose. Democracy
would have the nation own the people,
while Republicauism would have the
people own the nation,

ONE Of the leading questions now

ject Of the figure which the liquor issue
is likely to cut in the state this fall.
The question has been brought promi
nently to the minds of both parties by
the conventions Of the brewers and
prohibitionists which were held in Mil.
waukee recently. That both the Dem

have TO face shis issue is a certainty

NOVEL INSURANCE CASE
DECIDED BY JUDGE ELLIS

Quite a novel case was decided in
Judge Ellis court yesterday morning,
says the Atlanta Constitution.
oscar II. Watson recently brought
suit against the North American Ac-
cident Insurance company to recover
10 weeks insurance for an accident.
He dropped unconscious on the streets
of Macon some time ago and was TAX
en- to the hospital. where he remained
for 16 days in a stupor. The policy
he holds in the North American Acct
dent specifies that the company must
be notified 10 days after an accident
or sickness or the contract is violated
When the case was first brought into
the courts the plaintiff was given a
verdict. The case was appealed to the
superior court. and contention of the
insurance company to resist a motion
for new trial was overruled by Judge
Ellis. The case will be appealed to
the supreme court.
The North American Accident
claims that he did not notify the COM
pany 10 days after the accident. Wat
son claims that because of his uncon-
scious condition he was unable to no.
tify them, and that he should have
been given a reasonable time within
which to render the notification. He

AUTO NECESSARY
ON THE FARM
SIX HUNDRED MOTOR CARS
OWNED BY KANSAS FARMERS
Agitation Has Been Started in Kan,
Sas and Missouri to Have Instruc>
tion and Care and Manipulation of
Automobiles Taught i'm the state
Agricultural Colleges.

The extent to which the automobile
is being recognized as a necessity on
the farms of the West is indicated by
the fact that in central Kansas alone
more than six hundred motor cars
are owned by farmers. A dozen
years ago the farmer in this region
who owned an extra team and had a
spring wagon had the standing of a
man of means in his community Now
those who then looked covetously
upon the spring wagon are driving
about in automobiles.
Kansas roadways are so level that
they are standing invitation to the
automobilist, and this has contributed
largely to the welcome given the au,
tomobile by those who live in the
state.
So keenly is the automobile felt to
be an agricultural essential that agi,
tation has been started both in Kan.
sas and Missouri to have instruction
given at the state agricultural colleges
in the general use and adaptabilities
of the motor car, The agricultural
school of Iowa at Ames has already
decided to have a short winter course
Of instruction of this sort.
The students will as a preliminary
be taught the structure and operation
of gasoline engines and will learn the
many ways in which such an engine
can be made use of to make farming
easier and more profitable. Then
they will be instructed in the dis,
mantling, rebuilding and operation OF
motor cars so that they may become
skilled operators of such vehicles. /
which. the state educational authorl. |
ties are convinced, will perform a |
large part in the development of the |
farming interests in the next two de-
cades.
