ton systems should not be estab-
lished. We think they should be.
And we do not condemn the use Of
the corporation for such purpose.
But the corporation has assumed
the mastery.
The people have been asleep while
the enemy worked. Before the peo-
pie knew it the corporation had en-
tered congress and the legislature and
the court room and the executive
chamber. It had invaded and usurped
all the functions of government.
This is why the people today cry
out against the corporation.
From 1862 forward for over ten
years, yea, nearly twenty years, ev-
cry request made to congress for
gift Of land to aid some railroad cor
poration was granted. Men who
sought favors to railroad corporations
were smiled upon in congress and in
every legislature. The unthinking
people through their so-called repre-
sentatives could not do too much for
'the transportation corporations. Such
thing as restricting them on rates
was unheard of. The confding peo-
pie seemed to think the organizers
Of great railroad companies were pub
lie benefactors and that nothing was
nbo IL
helped to elect the corporation men to
congress and to the legislatures and
the courts and to executive Office all
over the country.
AS a consequence, the attorneys
for the railroad companies drafted
the laws that related to their bust
ness. And of course they made those
laws just as favorable as possible to
the corporations.
For instance: In every state today
the laws permit the unlimited water
ing of railroad capitalization. Seven
men may today organize a railroad
company in Nebraska with capital
ization of $5,O0O,OO0 even though
they do not put up more than $4,000.
And this is the situation in every
state. Senator La Follette's demand
for a physical valuation Of the rail
roads for the purpose of establishing
a correct basis for rates strikes at the
water" in railroad stocks to the
amount Of billions of dollars And
that "water" in the stocks and cap
italization is used by the companies
as basis Of rates and by means Of
it the railroad companies take from
the people annually hundreds Of mil
lions Of dollars in excess of fair COM
pensation for the use Of the actual
capital employed in the business.
This is only one instance in which
the great power of the railroad COM
panies in legislation has been used to
their advantage There are others.
The possession Of this great power
by the railroad companies explains
why they are so deeply interested in
the elections and why they maintain

Secretary Wright Will BE Good

Aim to be good, seek not TO be
great, a Cabinent officers noblest
station is retreat, is now the max
i'm of the Secretary of War. Tack
led by newspaper men as he was de
parting for Oyster Bay, Secretary
Wright positively declined to do any
further talking abont the hazing
cases. He would not say whether
the cadets would or wouldn't,
should or shouldn't be dismissed.
He would not say yes" or no"
to any question put by inquisitive
space fighters. Gen. Wright's 81
lence was impressive and express
sive. 1t was eloquent. What doth
it profit a man to open his mouth if
he lose his own reputation for We
racity? The late Theodore Hallam
of the Kentucky bar once observed
after having been fined twice for
contempt, the advantage in re
partee is with the court, and
sat down rebuked, mulct and
silenced. Evidently the Secretary
of War recognizes the fact that the
advantage in debate lies with the
President, who dominates candi-
dates for the Ananias Club with
as great ease as he nominates a can
didate for President, and elects him
by reclamation, none but himself
and Mr.. Loeb being qualified to
vote. Secretary Wright Is quite
right. He was not appointed to do
the talking for the administration.
That function is discharged by one
higher in authority, guiltless of
negligence. The Secretary of War
must be on the job as a Job, but not
as topic of conversation. His not
to talk of why, his but to do or die.
The Secretary of War may ac-
quire merit by sitting tightly upon
the lid. but he must be careful of
his nouns and his adiectives and
chary of his verbs to the end that
he may avoid seeing in print the
statement that he lies there. Louis

resent the policies essential to the
reform of known abuses, to the con
tinuance of liberty and true pros
perity, and that we are determined
as our platform unequivocally de
clares, to maintain them and carry
4 them out. "
In the name of the Democratic
party, accept the challenge, and
/ charge that the Republican party is
responsible for all the abuses which
now exist in the federal government,
and that it is important to accom-
plish the reforms which are imper-
atively needed. Further, | cannot
concur in the statement that the
Republican platform unequivocaly
declares for the reforms that are
necessary; on the contrary, | af-
firm it openly, VIGOROUSLY disap
points the hopes and expectations
of reformers, whether those reform
ers be Republicans or Democrats.
So far did the Republican conven-
ton fall short Of its duty that the
Republican candidate felt it neces-
sary to add to his platform in sew
eral important particulars, thus re-
buking the leaders of the party,
upon whose cooperation he must
rely for the enactment of remedial
legislation.
AS | shall in separate speeches
discuss the leading questions at
issue, I shall at this time contine
myself to the paramount question,
and to the far-reaching purpose Of
our party. as that purpose is set
forth in the platform.
SHALL THE PEOPLE RULE2
Our platform declares that the
overshadowing issue which mani
tests itself in all the questions now
under discussion, is shall the peo-
pie rule?' No matter to what
subject we address ourselves, the
same question confronts US; Shall
the people control their own gov
eminent. and use that government
for the protection of their rights
and for the promotion Of their vel
fare? Or shall the representatives
of predatory wealth prey upon
defenceless public, while the offend
ers secure immunity from subser-
Went officials whom they raise to
power by INSCRIPTIONS methods?
This is the issue raised by the
known abuses to which Mr.. /
Taft refers.

Speech of Acceptance.
A PLATFORM Is BINDING

| shall In the near future prepare
a more formal reply to the notifica-
ton letter, and will deal with the
platform in detail. 1t is sufficient
at this time to give assurance that
am in hearty accord with both the
letter and the spirit of the platform
| endorse it in whole and in part,
and if elected, shall regard its dec
larations as binding as to what it
omits az we'll as to what it contains.
According To the Democratic idea,
the people think for themselves and
select officials to carry out their
wishes. The voters are sovereigns,
the officials are servants, employed
for a fixed time at a stated salary
to do what the sovereigns want
done, and to do it in the way the
sovereigns want it done. Platforms
are entirely in harmony with this
Democratic idea. A platform an
nounces the party's position on the
questions which are at issue and an
official Is not at liberty to use the
authority vested in him to urge per-
sonal views which have not been
submitted to the voters for their
approval If one is nominated
upon a platform which is not salts
factory to him, he must, if candid,
either decline the nomination, or,
in accepting it, propose an amend
ed platform in lieu of the one
adopted by the convention. No
such situation, however, confronts
your candidate, for the platform
upon which / was nominated not
only contains nothing from which
dissent but specifically outlines all
the remedial legislation which we
can hope to secure during the next
four years.

Sleeves to Be Lonoer.

The yexed question as to the cor

are to be long, so long that not only
are the elbows covered and reach the
wrists, but the point must fall over
the knuckles, and in some instances
there are actually concealed thumb
holes in the cuffs. through which the
thumbs may be passed in order that
they may help to keep the sleeve down
to their fullest extent.

The most conspicuous OF the late
millinery models. because the most at
tractive, are the draped and frilled
bonnets of net, tulle or lace. recalling
vaguely the much-abused bebe hat of
Other years and built up on much the
same lines as the Charlotte Corday
The new shapes are very high of
crown, too. The brims vary in width,
but in all cases droop sharply, and
since the bonnets sit low upon the
head, as do all the hats OF the season,
the plated frills of these brims fall
softly around the face and over the
low chignon at the back. They seem
to belong by right to pretty faces, or
at least to piquant faces; but where
they are becoming they are as delect-
able as anything ever devised for wear
with sheer summer frocks. The above
illustration gives an idea of the
models.
