PUNY PLATFORM

III HE popularity of President Roose-
welt with S0,000,000 of Americans
- without reference to their party
Affiliations, cannot be doubted. There
never was more genuinely popular
president of the United States, because
there never was a,more genuinely pa
triotic: and the very causes of his
popularity, the evidences of patriotic
zeal for the greatest good of the great
have been most studiously avoided in
the platform of the machine-bound
Republican national convention. AS
the last great act of his presidential
life, as the last brilliant achievement
of his connection with the lawmaking
power of the country, this great Amer
lean statesman, Theodore Roosevelt,
issued a memorable message which
contained the final crystallization of the
principles which have become known
and famed as the Roosevelt policies.
1t was, so to speak, the swan song of
the official career of honesty and fear
lessness which has made him popular
and beloved with Americans of every
section and of every form of political
utilization. In spite of the known popu-
larity of the president, in spite of the
fact that it was well understood that
motive less lofty than patriotism. the
Republican machinists at the conven-
ton eliminated Rooseveltism from the
platform, and absolutely cast out every
suggestion of Roosevelt reform. A con-
vention that was obviously devoted to
the president heart and soul, and that
gave enthusiastic evidence of it's devo-
ton In the unparalleled demonstration
which greeted his name, was so manip-
ulated that it refused to acknowledge,
indorse or recommend one single dis
tinctively Rooseveltian principle. Even
the plank on trusts is slim and fiimsy
thing, without suggestion of strenuos-
ity or Rooseveltism. In it's verbiage it
is wishy washy and feeble. 1t does
not pledge the government to anything
at all. Again, the president asked for
pledge of the enactment of laws
strengthening the hands of the railroad
commission, and behold what has been
done! 1t is hard to see how man of
the positive character Of Mr.. Taft, in
full consciousness of his responsibilities
and of the necessity of decisive action
in regard to the problems which con-
front the country, could reconcile him.
self to the disagreeable necessity OF
having to run on such platform.

Los ANGELES. June 17.-[Editor

admiration for the editorial page of
the Herald. I am also in deep sympa-
thy with all things said by all those
who join Mrs. s. A. d. in her protest
against the graft" existing not only
in schools, but city, county, state and
the thought of possibility of the
common people of America being
fooled by the evasive, smooth, false
and tricky language used by the bill
lionaire" representatives of the bill
lionaire" interests of the Republican
platform, like the promise of the full
dinner pail'' and other campaign sop.
Now as to A. d. H., l want to say
that believe he has little knowledge
of what this world has in store for
the poor. II his mother was not poor
he got his education, in all possibility.

institution he got what he got, not at
the expense of his own mothers day
labor in q store and night sewing and
washing and drudging at home. but at
the. expense of starvation and sacrifice
of others like Mrs. 8. A. d. There are
thousands such women in the land to-
day, when men who can and would
work can't get work and the mothers
and children suffer with these men in
spite of Misrepresentation made by
favored people who eem to enjoy the
sufferings of their fellow beings. How
much longer, o. Lord. must we en-
dure these blessings? A. d. H. is not
to blame, for he knows no better, like
many others, who consider our misfor-
tunes a pleasant joke. Would to God
he could experience 1t in person for a
year, and, experiencing II. have the
sense to realize It's meaning. L. A.

TRANSPARENT FRAUD

IF ANYONE will take President
Roosevelts message to the last
Il session of congress, in which was
the final expression of the vital prin-
ciples of what are known as the Roose-
welt policies, and will compare that
with the Republican platform an
nounced by the Chicago convention
he will see that a convention the
rank and file of which were at heart
dominated by Roosevelt sentiment and
paid him the most wonderful tribute
ever received by any one man IN the
history of American politics, was so
manipulated by the machinery in con-
troll of the Republican party that the
delegates actually avoided and turned
down every one of the Roosevelt
nolicies. For instance, the president
asked for a law providing for the
nbvsical valuation of railroads. That
WAS reported from the minority OF
the platform committee and was re-
fused. The president asked for law
providing for the publication of cam
paign subscriptions. That was re-
ported by the minority of the platform
committee and was refused. The pres
ident asked for laws providing for IN
heritance and income taxes. THESE
were not mentioned at all, were not
referred to in any way.
The president asked for the recon-
mendation Of a law regulating the reck-
less use of the power of injunction,
which, as every lawyer knows, in mat
tiers of property-leaving out questions
of labor-is the most powerful weapon
within the whole arsenal of the law,
power which is MORE OFTEN IN

the ghosts of the Pilgrim Fathers will

We hope Mr.. Howard will remind the
New Englanders that the little red

that New England made the United

little red school house made the united

held in the summer time and fall OF the

speakers would stand up before the
people under the shade trees, dividing
the time. Each one had their say.
There was little expense. Everybody

PAY OR CO."

OVERNMENT employees are indig-
IT nant over what they call an in
~ reference with their liberty by the
chief executive. The National Whole
sale Grocers' association held a con-
vention at Atlantic City. To this con-
vention came a special envoy from the
National Retailers association, with the
statement that the big stick is to be
used in enforcing the collection OF
debts contracted by government en-
ployes. Secretary Loeb wrote the re-
tailers letter in which he said: "The
president desires to state that while
there is no law to compel payment of
debt by civil service employees he has
directed that notice be sent to heads
of departments that failure to pay
grocery bills on the part of civil service
cause for removal" When Mr.. Roose-
welt was active in the civil service re-
form movement, and thereby rendered
himself obnoxious to the spells brigade
of the Republican party, he attempted
to elevate the moral standard of the
in it. Employees should pay their bills
when their salaries are paid regularly.
OF all people who neglect to pay bills,
government employees have the least
excuse. The man who has an excuse
is he who contracts grocery or other
bill In good faith, believing he will still
be in receipt Of salary when the bill is
presented and by misfortune or acct
dent loses his salaried position.
Civil service employees enjoy the I'M
common distinction of being protected
against summary removal. Every other
wage Garner can be discharged without
rhyme or reason and may be kept out
of a job till he falls dead in his tracks
and doesn't need one. But the civil
service man has not only a stipulated
salary but a guaranteed position.
While some citizens may think the
grocers who asked the president of the
United States to collect for them had
considerable-shall We say self posses
sion?-we must regret that necessity
for summary collection Las arisen.
During the time of Republican financial
calamity and distress there were many
people who could not pay their bills.
They, especially those among them who
were high-spirited and sensitive, de-
serve sympathy, not censure, but there
was no excuse for those favored-of-
heaven mortals, government employees
protected by the civil service, for whom
the ghost walked as regularly during

Dor MATTERS; and regulation of
which would protect the business man
even more than 1t would protect the
labor interest. That was worse than re-
fused, because under pretext of grant,
ing that request there was put into the
platform q plank which was a more
perfect example of giving a stone In
stead Of the bread asked for than even
the shiftiest politics OF this country
has ever at any former time produced.
The plank declares that the Republic
can party is favorable to the enact
ment of law which will prevent the
issuing of restraining orders and in
functions without notice except in
cases where to refuse to issue such an
order would cause irreparable injury.
Under the legal procedure of every
state of the Union today before petit
toner can secure a preliminary re-
straining order or injunction without
notice he must allege in his petition
and swear to it that the failure to give
him that relief would produce irrepar-
able injury.
What is proposed by that Republican
plank in the Republican platform win
not change the present law of injunc-
ton one iota.
