THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
The Democratic party. is pledged
by it's platform to all that labor de-
sires, and we specially commend the
plank on injun ctions to the consider
alton of all laboring men.
For our part we do not see that
any more could be said. If the plat
form had been one on which dis
tinctly labor candidate was intended
to run it could not be more in keep
ing with the wishes and desires of
organized labor.
Mr.. Bryan himself is a man uni
versally liked by the laboring people,
and running on the platform which
has been adopted he should receive
the favorable consideration Of all
toilers.
Compare this plank with the gar
bled one placed in the Republican
platform, and then make your choice.
The same plank was offered the Chi
cago convention by Mr.. Gompers, but
it was too favorable to labor to suit
the ideas Of the Republican leaders,
and they substituted in its stead q
meaningless tumble of words which
it Is to be hoped will fool no one,
much less the men of organized
labor.
The affirmative position of the
Democratic party upon all the great
cushions of state is so clearly set
forth in the Denver platform, the
men of organized labor will have no
trouble in deciding upon how to cast
their ballot.

MUCH ABUSED LAWS.

Some mental specialists hold that
we are all insane upon some one point.
Perhaps the inversion Of the PROPOSE
ton is truer that some of us are sane
upon some point. At all events the
defense Of insanity is getting alto
gether too fashionable in murder
cases, and specialists are prone to tes-
tify for the side that calls them. The
defense of insanity has almost been
abused as much as the right Of in
junction. Both are right in their leEi-
innate sphere: but both their spheres
have been subjected to the most scan
dalous perversions.

WE CALL IT PATRIOTISM.

The annual mania that siezes the
American people on June 80 and turns
them lose about July s is responsible
this year for q dead and 2,73s In
jured. plus some avoidable destruction
Of property. This list Of dead and
injured does not include the seriously
ill who were killed or made more i'll
by the unnecessary noise. The psy-
biologists Of the world should hold
a convention and explain, if they can,
the relation between patriotism and
unnecessary noise and danger. Per-
haps our noise mania is an imitation
Of the silly custom of ""saluting" men
and representatives Of nations by
firing cannon.-Ibid.

BEDE OR MILLER?

The season of strife between can
didates representing different polit.
ical interests is upon us, but in the
midst of all the turmoil it would be
we'll for us to remember that after all
we are simply band of sojourners-
brothers If you please-journeying
along through life, and to a greater
or less extent dependent upon each
other.
IT'S a. glorious thing for brothers
to dwell together in unity Just
watch Bede and Miller loving one an
other. These gentlemen know that
the destroying of sociability which is
bound to come from heated argu.
ments is unwise; and besides, too,
they each realize that with William
Jennings Bryan at the head of a
Democratic ticket supported by a
platform that meets the approval Of
practically all our people, a Republi.
can candidate for Congress has no
dead cinch on being elected even In
the Eighth district.
Wherefore and therefore, these Re-
publican brothers are wise enough to
know that when the smoke of the
primary campaign is over. whosoever
wins in the preliminary skirmish
must have the loyal support of hie
defeated brother to make a showing
in the greater struggle that is to fol.

This is an unusually hard year for
Republicans. The trusts, vested in
terests, and monopolists, which the
party had so long nursed, cherished
and protected, have by their rascally
methods and practices provoked the
righteous wrath of the American peo
pie; and in addition to that, industrial
questions have arisen In connection
with certain judicial practices, upon
which the attitude of the party il
very far from being satisfactory even
to dyed-in-the-wool Republicans.
Again, the perniciously .un-Ameri

Speaker Cannon and his "stand.pat'

PATRIOTISM OF LABOR !
+ TANNED BY FACTS.

BY G. w. Hope, Columbus, Ohio. .
The day laborer on the broad ex-1
panse Of prairies and wheat fields UP
in the land Of the Dakotas has a.
higher standard OF citizenship and pa
triotism than the college professors
and the clergymen who follow the coal
barons and the oil magnates down the
aisles Of their universities: and their
churches and make "goo-goo" eyes at
their every move, if only in the name
CO of the Nabarene they can secure a
college endowment or a church bene-
fee
IT believe there is as much genuine
American patriotism to the square
inch in the ranks OF organized labor
today as will be found in any other
American society. In every emer-
gency in which the honor and glory
and the integrity of the country has
been at stake, labor has, been the
backbone of the nation. always decid-
ing for the right and for the honor and
the glory of all our people. It was
our common people, aye, the wage
earners, who taught the: powers OF
the world that the American flag is
more than mere pieces Of bunting Of
different colors sewed together.
'Mr. Candidate for Congress. do not
forget that it was Washington and his
army of American toilers that followed
the old flag through long years of
struggle and privation to final victory
down at Yorktown: and; since that
time the champions Of mems rights.
including our now English friends,
have echoed and reechoed Bunker Hill
and Valley Forge and Yorktown's bat
tie cry Of human liberties, around the
world: Do not forget, Mr.. Candidate,
that these same American sons of toll
carried CONSERVATION and defeat to
the mistress of the seas in 1912. Do
not forget that in 1S48 it was Scott
and his little band of conquering her.
oes made up Of American toilers that
carried the emblem of freedom into
the City of Mexico and there unfurled
1t over the home Of the ancient Monte
zumas. Do not forget that in 1861
an army composed Of American bread
winners. led on by, that high priest Of
human liberties, Abraham Lincoln,
took up Old Glory and planted it on
100 battlefelds that universal justice
might prevail. And today the bravest
defenders Of human liberties and
American homes are to be found
south Of the Mason and Dixon line.
Having wrought these wonderful
achievements for home, for freedom,
for Christianity, for manhood, for
womanhood, aye, for God and for our
country, I appeal to you, Mr.. Repub-
lican and Mr.. Democrat and Mr.. So
cialist alike, to buckle on your armor
and On the third day. Of November
next once again storm the works Of
the common enemy. With the bold
ness of a. John Hancock signing the
great charter of American liberties,
let us so mark our ballots as to wipe
these congressional pirates off the po-
litical map. Let the next Labor pa
rade be to the ballot box!

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,

Bryan is the only man in history
who, having been twice defeated for
the highest office in his country, has
received third nomination. There is
no doubt that he was defeated in 1896
money contributed by special corpora
tions, nor is there much less doubt
that he was defeated In the same way
In 1900. That is the view that is be-
coming as well fixed in the American
mind as that Tildon was robbed of

on asubstitute bill, which will be re-

sion Of opinion that it should pass. Ii
provides that each head of a family
shall be allowed one dog, without the
payment of any tax, and for each ad-
ditional dog a filty-cent tax shall be
paid, instead of the present 81 tax on
each dog. 1t is also provided shat the
tax shall be paid into the county
treasury, and, after all sheep indemni-
ties are paid, the remainder shall be
used for public school or road purpos-
