men hope to eradicate insanity among the patients

There is athlete who gets as much apparent

they have their pathetic side, of course afford

VI regulating the railroads and
other corporations. The legatee OF
tho Roosevelt policy will. II he
stands on the platform, have to car
ry out the same line OF work which
Roosevelt himself began. and II Is
to be hoped that the promises are
equally sincere that there will be
no recession In the matter of purer
methods In business and industry.
We are promised tarin reform
through n special session OF con-
gress TO be convened Immediately
after the Inauguration OF the presi
dent-in the event that the Repub-
leans are victorious. But in defin-
ing the protective policy OF the Re
publican party the platform makes
the most braZen bid for the sup
port OF the protected industries that
has ever crept into Republican
platform We are told that 1.-The
true principle OF protection" Is best
maintained by the imposition OF
such duties as will equal the diff
ference between the cost OF produc-
ton at home and abroad. together
with reasonable profit to AmerI-
can industries"
Republican platforms in the past
have contented themselves with
claiming that those duties should
be sufficient to equalize the diner
ence In cost at home and abroad
and to protect the American wage
Garner. 1t was the latter who was
to be protected in all the pronunci
amentoes of the past. Now we are
told frankly that 1t is "a reason
able profit to American industries"
which claims their greatest solicit
tude.
Ii makes but little difference
what the Republicans might say on
the subject, just as 1t has made bat
little difference in the past. They
VIII go ahead taking care OF infant
industries-which have long since
attained to mammoth proportions
and taxing the American consumer
10 pay tina cost.
We can AFFORD to accept It as true
that IL the Republican party Is tri-
umphant at the polls a tariff-tink
ering session OF congress will be
specially convened. But we NAV
expect to see the familiar figures
around the lobby asking for the
same old special concessions and In
the end they will get them.
The declaration OF the party
only makes II more clear that there
Is no hope for the American people
to secure relief from the burdan-
some incubus OF protection until the
Democrats are restored to power
and the spirit OF the legislative
body Is once more worked I'D to the
pitch where 1t was when Grover
Cleveland was about to give us eco
nomic emancipation, when silver
ism bobbed up and divided our
counsels and nullihed our force.
Still the Republican platform
makes very good reading. Every
body takes 1t for just whA It's
worth, and that is just as the wag
put 1T long ago. to the effect that
all of them were like street car
platforms: used to get in by, but
not to stand on.
The formal adoption of the docu-
ment relieves the public tension and
enables us to devote our entire
time to observing the routine pro-
ceedings OF the convention on 9th
or matters.-Atlanta Journal.
