THE NEW LAW FOR GREAT
Err SAFETY ON RAILROADS

In the District Court of the United
States having jurisdiction In the local
ity where such violation shall have
been committed: and 1t shall be the
duty of such district attorney to bring
such suits upon satisfactory informa.
ton being lodged with him; but no
such suit shall be brought after the
expiration of one year from the date
of such violation: and it shall also be
the duty of the Interstate Commerce
Commission to lodge with the proper
distric attorneys information of any
such violations as may come to its
knowledge. In all prosecutions under
this act the common carrier shall be
deemed have knowledge o. all acts
of all its officers and agents: Provid-
ed That the provisions of this act
shall not apply to any case of casual
ity or unavoidable accident or the
act of God; nor where the delay was
the result of a cause not known to
the carrier or its officers or agent iD
charge of such employee at the time
said employee left a terminal, and
which could not have been foreseen:
Provided, further. that the provisions
OF this act shall not apply TO the
crews of wrecking or relief trains.
Efforts TO have Congress repeal
or amend this law have been unavail-
ing. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission has likewise declined to con-
sent that the enforcement of the law
shall be postponed. A few railroads
have given notice to the Commission
that they are prepared to obey the law
to the letter. A large majority of the
roads, however, have taken no steps
toward complying with the act and
have not indicated what their plans
are II is assumed now that the
law has become operative many roads
will apply for permission TO conduct
their business as heretofore until they
can make ready to meet the require
mems of the new law. The act gives
the Interstate Commerce Commission
power to grant an extenson of time in
individual cases where good cause is
shown. The railroads declare that the
enforcement of the law will cost them
$40 900, 900 year and that at the pres
ent time they cannot afford this extra
expense
The railroad employees look upon the
new law as the most substantial piece
of legislation they have obtained from
Congress for many years, not except
ing the Employers Liability act. They
regard the law as not only a victory
for them, but for the travelling public

DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM.

The democrats OF North Dakota at
their state convention held last week in
Grand Forks adopted the following as
the platform Of the party, outlining the
attitude of North Dakota democracy on
state and national issues in the cam
paign of the present year:
We, the representatives of the demo-
cracy of North Dakota, in convention
assembled, reaffirm our faith in, and
pledge our loyalty to, the principles of
our party as advocated By such great
leaders as W. j. Bryan, Governor John
A. johnson, Governor Burke, Governor
Folk. Governor Douglass, Tom L. John
son. and other prominent democrats.
We hail with acclaim the increasing
sign of moral awakening in the state and
nation, and rejoice in the tendency of
the American people to return to the
simple principles of plain justice and
common honesty in public affairs, as
embodied in the Declaration of indie

ed from politics, and that the
superintendent of public instruction and
the heads of all educational departments
and institutions in the state should be
chosen on an absolutely non-partisan
basis.
We favor tho abolition of the free pass
and the franking privilege.
The democracy of North Dakota, in
convention assembled, believing that W.
Jennings Bryan represents the truest
type of American citizenship and is the
natural leader of the reform forces
throughout the United States of
America. Be it therefore resolved, that
the delegates from this convention
to the national democratic convention
to be held at Denver, be and they are
hereby instructed to vote as a unit for
the nomination of William Jennings
Bryan for president of the United States.
The committee also offer the following
resolution which they ask this conven-
ton to unanimously adopt:
Resolved, that the democratic party
OF this state, in convention assembled,
will uphold Governor Burke in the en-
forcement of all laws of this state"
We favor the passage of a law giving
the governor power to remove executive
officers not subject to impeachment for
the xilfull neglect of official duty.
We favor an amendment to the con-
stitution giving the legislative assembly
power to provide state officers for the
better enforcement of state laws in. every
part of the state.
Resolved, That this convention
heartily and emphatically endorse the
administration of Governor John Burke,
and commend his efforts in the enforce
ment of all laws. W. congratulate the
people of this state for their indepenI
dence, wisdom, and patriotism IN rising
above the desire for party success and
voting for a governor who places the
welfare of the state above political ex.
%pediency. He has set a ~commendable
precedent for future governors to follow.
Since the day of his qualification as
chief executive of this state, he has
given his entire time and attention to
the Office, and has been and is now
governor in every sense. He has not
been content with merely performing
the duties of his own Office, but has in
addition thereto, exercised a supervision
and control over every other department
properly within his sphere He has
been efficient, faithful and fearless, and
we pledge to him III hearty support in
the enforcement Of all laws, and we
further pledge to him our united and
undivided support in his candidacy for
70 election.

lation of banks. We favor the passing
of such laws, both state and national as
will guarantee to depositors, all loss for
their deposits when made in either state
or national banks; and further that the
power to issue money shall remain a
function of government.
We are opposed to the extension of
the powers of the general government
by judicial construction, and believe
with Jefferson that 1.-The support of the
state government il all their rights are
the most competent administrations for
our domestic concerns and the surest
bulwark against anti-republican tenden-
cies," and in. "The preservation of the
general government in all it's constitu-
tional vigor."
We favor a general pension policy, as
a matter of justice to the surviving
veterans and their dependents.
We favor an income tax and an in
heritance tax as a part of our. revenue
system.
We favor the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people,
and recommend an amendment to the
constitution looking toward that end.
We protest against the unwarranted
use of the writ of injunction.
We are in favor of liberal %appro,,ria-
tions for the ims rovement of the interior
waterways, and urge the early completion
the Panama canal.
We believe that the railroads, express
companies, sleeping car companies
telegraph and telephone companies are
not now paying their just share of taxes
and we favor the enactment and enforce
ment of laws looking iowa d the placing
of these concerns on an exact level with
the individual taxpayers of the state sc
that that burden of taxation shall be
equally borne by all.
We believe that the actual value of al
railroad property and of other pnblic
service corporations should be ascertain
ed SO that such property may be assessed
equitably and according to the assessed
valuation of all other property in the
state.
We favor the principle involved in The
primary election law, but we condemn
the present primary election law al
unfair and unjust to the minority party
or parties, and insist that the pressn'
law be amended so that the minority
party or parties will have equal op
p~ortunity of bringing it's candidate!
before the people.
We favor a national grain inspection
We favor a non partisan judiciary.
We approve the principles Of til,
initiative and referendum aud believe
with Jefferson, that governments ar,
republican only in proportion as the,
embody the will Of the people n exc
cute it,"
We believe that the educalional de
partnents Of the state should be divorc
