a number of messages to congress

now consider the actual deeds of the
man.
The President Is in complete con
troll of the party machinery. He was
strong enough to force the nomina-
ton of his personal choice as his
by an overwhelming vote,
and Of necessity must have been In
a position to dictate the platform. Yet
note the result.
The publicity plank at the Chicago
convention was turned down with a
thud by almost a unanimous vote.
What does it mean? What can 1t
mean?
The only conclusion that a be
Preached after a study of the whole
matter is that the President was not
sincere. His campaign committee In
1904 accepted and used vast sums OF
money to secure the election of Mr..
Roosevelt, and he must have known
this and approved Of it, tacitly, at
least. His convention, for 1t was con-
trolled by him, refused to make pub
lie campaign contributions from cor
porations.
Mr.. Roosevelt's high sounding
words were mere promises to fool
the people. He was not sincere, he
could not have been sincere, or II
he ever was he has since fallen a vic
tim to the wiles and snares of the
corporations. Which Is it?

A private monopoly Is i~ndefensible
and intolerable. We, therefore, favor
the vigorous enforcement of the Grim
inal law against guilty trust magnates
and officials, and demand b enact
OF such additional legislation
as may be necessary to make it Inn
possible for a private monopoly to
exist in the United States. Among
the additional remedies, we specify
three: First, a law preventing a dup
LEGATION of directors among compel
ing corporations; Second a license
system which win without abridging
the right Of each state to create cor
porations, or its right to regulate as
it will foreign corporations doing bu'
siness within its limits, make it nee
essary for a manufacturing or trad
commerce, to take out a federal lie
ense before 1t shall be permitted to
control as much as rs per cent of the
product in which 1t deals, the license
to protect the public from watered
Stock and to prohibit the control by
such corporations of more than SO
per cent of the total amount of any
product consumed in the United
States, and, third, a law compelling
such licensed corporations to sell to
all purchasers in all parts of the coun-
try, on the same terms, making due
allowance for cost Of transportation.
Railroad Regulation.
We assert the right of congress to
exercise complete control over inter-
state commerce within its borders.
We demand such enlargement Of
the powers of the Interstate Com.
merce Commission as may be neces-
sary to compel railroads to perform
their duties al common carriers and
prevent discrimination and extortton.

on the hole people. While refusing
to rescue the wealth producers from
spoliation at the hands of the stock
gamblers and spectators in farm pro-
ducts, it has deposited treasury funds,
without interest and without competi-
ton, in faVorite banks. It has used an
emergency for which it is largely re-
sponsible to force through congress
a bill changing the basis Of bank cur
rency and inviting market manipuIa-
ton, and has failed to give to the
I, 49, OO, 900 depositors of the country
protection In their savings.
We believe that in so far as the
needs of commerce require an emerg-
ency currency, such currency should
be issued, controlled by the federal
government and loaned on adequate
security to national and state banks.
We pledge ourselves to legislation
under which the national banks shall
be required to establish a guaranty
fund for the prompt payment Of the

Of the Republican party ia proposing
postal savings banks under a plan Of

deposit the same while under govern

Labor and inlunctions.

Labor and lnjunctions.
The courts Of justice are the bull
wark of our liberties, and we yield
to none in our purpose to maintain
their dignity. Our party has given
to the bench a long line of distin-
the respect and confidence in which
this department must be jealousy
maintained. We resent the attempt
of the Republican party to raise a
false issue respecting the judiciary.
/. is an unjust reflection upon a great
body of OUR citizens to assume that
they lack respect for the courts. 1t
is the function of the courts to inter
pref the laws which the people create,
and if the laws appear to work eco
nomic, social or political injustice,
it is our duty to change them. The
only basis upon which the integrity
Of our courts can stand is that of I'M
~swerving justice and protection OF
life, personal liberty and property. If
judicial processes may be abused, we
should guard them against abuse,
Experience has proven the necessi-
ty Of a modification of the present
law relating to injunctions, and we
reiterate the pledge of our national
platforms of 1896 and 1904 in favor
OF the measure which passed the
United States Senate in 1896, but
which a Republican congress has
since refused to enact, relating
to contempts in federal courts and
providing for trial by jury in cases
of indirect contempt.
Questions OF judicial practice have
arisen, especially in connection with
Industrial disputes. We deem hat the
parties to all judicial proceedings
should be treated with rigid Impair
and hal injunetions should
not be issued In any case in which
would not issue If no In
dispute were involved.

NOW is THE TIME.

unequivocal stand upon the important
matter OF putting its telephone and

levels and doing away with the dis.
| fgurement and menace of the over.
head systems now in vogue Every
city in the land that is brought TO this
crisis has insisted upon this change
and with universal satisfaction. We
will not have chance to make this
change for years to come if it is not
done right now while the city and the
company or companies are thrashing
out their agreements and disagree
ments; it is the crucial moment and
should not be lost. The people will
rise up and call the powers that be
blessed" or any other good old
thing. if they shall take advantage
OF the propititous moment and en-
force the order,
There may come day when the
curse OF wire mesh prostrate across
a score of streets will cause incalcu-
liable loss Of life and property, and
this warning be remembered with Bit
terness; and no one wants TO meet
such a predicament. 1t is easy of en-
forcement at this time, when the new
and the old systems are about to be
revamped and installed and will cost
the companies less and be of immense
service and value to them in the
future.
We will regret it if we fail TO use
this advantageous hour for effecting
this sorely needed and modern i'm
provement. The old company has its
lines already cabled, always prepa-
rative rule for putting them out Of
sight; and if a new concern is to come
in here, they can make the provision
before they start to work on their
plant. 1t has been done in scores Of
towns and cities on the coast and
Astoria is entitled to the advantage,

SIMPLY A HUGE BLUFF.

We are inclined to believe that the
decision of the transcontinental rail
way lines to refuse the export and
import hauls from the two great
coasts, is simply huge bluff to COM
pei the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to relinqush its position and
modify its orders in the matter OF the
through" rate now covering such
shipments and to force the dual rate
to cover sea and land hauls separate
ly and independently. The through
rate, for instance, from Hong Kong
to New York is to be broken, and
distinct rates established from Hong
Kong to the Pacific seaboard, and
thence to New York, exceeding the
through tariff handsomely in the ag
gregate, are to be applied if the rail-
ways can do it, with the help OF the
steamship lines which they also own,
and are tentatively championing in
the fight.
Just what the Interstate Commits
sion intends doing in the threatening
premise remains to be seen, but the
country at large is hoping it will
stand pat and fight the issue to the
end The traffic companies seem to
be hunting eternally for a predicate
upon which to defeat and oust the
Commission, which they cordially and
honestly hate as no government in
stitution was ever hated before; a
condition, by the way, that effectually
asserts and proves the extraordinary
value of the Interstate Commerce
Commission as an element of control
and adjudication.
The railway corporations seem to
forget the fact that they have achiev
ed the very limit OF popular detesta-
ton by their own deliberate courses
Of extorticn and brutal exploitation
through the years, and that they may
not expect the public to grant them
anything that can be denied, on the
mere gr. und of fear, suspicion of
jobbe-y, and the assurance of per-
petual and arrogant ingratitude no
matter what is conceded by public
generosity. ..
The tendency of the age is toward
absolute governmental restriction and
every additional step in this direction
is hailed with deep concern by the
people everywhere; hence, the doc
trine of popular ownership is not
dead.
