An Evasive Platform.

VldI 10 HUI 6NdolOn III IliC ~
publican PLATFORM is directly vici-
GUS. The only positive stand taken
by the party is for greater federal
control, greater Capitalization OF
power. This is the most alarming
embodiment of any platform ever
presented by a political party in
the country. 1t is more revolution
airy than the Socialist platform, in
fact, and in the backing it is bound
to get from the monopoly forces it
is infinitely more dangerous.
There is not a trust in the coun-
try that does not favor centraliza-
ton. There is not combination in
restraint of trade or in the control
of necessities that does not favor
it. AS pointed out by Judge Gross
cup it is easier to control govern
ment than it is to control the be-
wilderin9 hands of the states. The
trusts all know this to be true This
announcement by the republicans
threatens the republican form of
government. 1t is vicious and if
the policy of Capitalization is car
ried out it will result fatally.
For the most part, however, the
platform is evasive. The trust
plank is without any commitment
on the party's part, at least the
synopsis of this plank mentions no
pledges. 1t tells of past enforce
ment of the Sherman law when the
public knows that no attempt has
ever been made by the party of
privilege to enforce this law. At
the same time to the party favors
an amendment to this law.
Enforcement of the railway rate
law is promised, but no other
course was open to the party. To
advocate a non-enforcement of the
law would have been to suicide.
The same is true of the employers
liability law.
The injunction plank has been
shorn of its formidability. No pro-
nouncement on this question at all
would have been as effective in Sc
curing reform as the statement in
the platform. When the plank was
agreed to by the trusts in commit
tee it was a certain guess that there
would be nothing Objectionable in
the plank to the corporations. The
perniciouS power of injunction will
90 forward under republican rule
in the future as in the past if the
ticket is elected. 1t will be as effec-
tive against labor as it ever was
The bait to labor in the form of g
hearing on injunction cases will not
60 down, for the very simple reason
that no such hearings will ever be
given. There is no such intention
in the plank, as the "irreparable in
jury" clause shows. The plank il
in fact utterly worthless.
The planks on minor affairs are
worth no consideration.
The platform is in fact no plat
form. There is no expression sucf
as should come from a politica
party at the present time. TIT
great questions that effect the ma
ton are lodged with evasive make
shifts or not mentioned at all. =

Our Republican friends stand up

A Suggestion.

Friday there was hundreds of
men on the amphitheater at Pal
myra, who at the expense of several
dollars and a days lost time went
there to hear some speakers and
did not. Why? Becase some peo-
pie refuse to recognize this fact.
Others as well as /, have some
rights.
When you 90 to a public gather
ing and someone is speaking and
others wish to hear the speech, is
to say the least, discOurteous and
ill-bred to prevent them from hear
ing and to destroy their pleasure by
your own thoughtless selfishness
Either listen or get out and LEI
others listen. You have no moral
right to destroy anyOne's pleasure
to secure your own.

MANY TAKE INTEREST
IN MOTORCYCLE RACES

Motorcycle races are gradually win
ming popular favor throughout the
country, says the Buffalo Express. At
all the big bicycle meets in the west
motorcycle contests are being featured
this year. The sport has branched out
into a field by itself. Many men who
were stars in the old cycling days have
now taken up the motorcycle. Miles
are being reeled off close to the minute
mark In a measure, motorcycle rae
ing bids fair to replace automobile rae
ing on circular tracks. Just imagine
wheelmen mounted on motorcycles
whirling around a circular track at a
rate Of speed faster than has ever
been Travelled before by a human be-
ing, except in one of the daredevil
autos. Most OF the motorcycles of to-
day are constructed along speed lines
which will permit the drivers to travel
at a mile-a-minute clip. The speed
craze on motorcycles is even greater
now than when automobiles We're
brought within striking distance of the
mile-a- minute mark.
