The Denver Platform.

The planks OF the democratic platform
certain to receive the most attention at
shis time are these: Cd That relating to
the tariff: CO that relating to the courts
and injunction proceedings. and (3) that
relating to railroads.
Protection, it will be observed. is not
denounced as the source of all our eco
nomic ills. The shibboleth Of 1892 Is not
revived. No challenge to a battle to the
death is issued to the policy underlying
the Dingley law and for which the re-
publican party distinctly stands. This
deliverance reads as though the Cleveland
message Of December. 1887. had never
been written and will make the Star
Eyed Goddess at Louisville sigh in her
secret soul. AS a compromise 1t is awk-
wardly drawn, though II must be said in
defense of its fashioners that they had a
tough lob on their hands.
The injunction issue also is treated gin
zerly. tribute to the courts leads OF.
II is denied that any condemnation OF
the judiciary as respects this question is
to be read into the democracy's position.
That charge is characterized as a device
Of the enemy. But a jury trial 10 prom
ised an accused when his case comes on

AfricanuO.
From the New York Sun.

The eyes OF struggling authors are SUI
fused with yellow at the computations Of
Mr.. RoOsevelt's African royalties made
by the statisticians Of the press and the
couriers Of the publishing houses. Was
ever royal hunter from the days OF Shall
maneser and Sargon so gloriously paid?
Was ever writer's pen so recompensed for
each throb of its ink? They misjudge
who So Judge and question. In the first
place nobody but the principals knows
what Mr.. Roosevelt's pilgrims need is to
be. In the second place no reward can
be high enough. Not merely as a beast
slayer, as a famed hunter Of men and
corporations and campaign contributions.
as hurler of the spear and the lie. as a
mighty mixer" among men and princi-
pies, as an unrivaled sociologist, does Mr..
Roosevelt fare forth to Uganda and way
stations to meet and greet and pepper the
lion and the leopard. Ia the python. the
little but devilish red ant and the rest OF
the fauna. No. he goes as philosopher
and psychologist to unravel the mental
and moral states Of the beast world, to
show that science Is not long. whatever
art is. 10 demonstrate instinct and Ia
cOnfute reason.

Mr.. Hobson's Statement.

Secretary Loeb was considerable of Rep
resentative Hobson's feelings in his choice
OF phrases in the course of a statement
issued at Oyster Bay regarding the Ala
bamian's speech at Denver. According
to all the press dispatches Mr.. Hobson
declared that mot SO very long ago the
President of the United States said in
my presence, There exists the greatest
probability of a war with Japan Mr..
Loeb. in denying the suggestion of the
Presidents statement to this effect. says
that "the Congressman must. of
course. have been misquoted." 1t appears
that what the President did say. though
perhaps not on that occasion, was that
Elf there was sufficient navy there
would never be any possibility of this
country getting into foreign war;
II that was what the President did say
to Mr.. Hobson. and IL Mr.. Hobson did say
at Denver what he il reported as having
said. then there Is surely need of a bet
ter system of White House interviewing.
One Of the unwritten laws of this country
is that the President is never quoted d.
rectly, in print or otherwise. OF course.
as matter of fact. the woods are full of
chatterers who take pride in declaring
that the President said thus and so to
them on such and such an occa sion. New
ertheless, the obviously proper ethics of
the case demand that the President shall
not be personally quoted on any subject.
He has his own unchoked channels of
communication, which he freely uses, and
there is no occasion whatever for chance
correspondents to be utilized as a means
of a dispensing of views and news from
that quarter.
OF course there was great confusion at
Denver while MIR. Hobson was making
his speech. The galleries were impatient
at the delay and were not particularly
sympathetic with the Alabama orator.
In fact. this sort of talk is not pleasant
or popular because the great ma jority OF
people today believe that there is prac-
tically no chance of a foreign war. 1t is
quite possible that some of Mr.. Hobson' S
language was obscured by the clamor
any maybe he was in fact misquoted
He at least has now the excellent oppor-
tunity of accepting Mr.. Loebs theory In
the premises and claiming a misunder-
standing. That would be the best way
out of the situation.

Uncle Sam, the Composite.
From the Baltimore Sun

That Uncle Sam is a composite OF many
nationalities Is demonstrated by glance
at the men who are conspicuous In ma
tional politics nowadays. At Denver. fol
example there are men descended from
ancestors representing every one of the
European countries which have contrib
uted In the past tosthe making of this re-
public Tammany has sept to the Colo
RADIO city many men whose forbears
came from the Emerald Isle. The leu
tonic element in our population is repre-.
sented by men OF sturdy German stock
The northwest sends delegates who have
not forgotten their Scandinavian tradi
lions and associations. From the south
are men of mingled Irish. Scotch ant
English blood, and also. from Louisiana
men who have in their veins the blOot
of the French and Spanish settlers in the
region once dominated by France ant
Spain There is no other country in the
world which can present this composite
type, having the blood Of SO many ma
tiOn0litfeS.

The Denver Nominee.

Mr.. BRYAN had earned the nomination.
He had met all rivals and replied TO all
democratic critics. He had put himsei1
on record so as to arm all of his friends
with cries in his behalf. If he hedged
little here and there it was only after
the fashion of politics. In the main ne
stood to his guns, and his enemies nave
gone down before his steady fire.
Moreover. he played in great luck. Wall
street. which is the poorest OF politicians.
took the field against him. financing the
opposition in many quarters and ad-
dressing itself particularly to the SOUTH
where Mr.. Bryan has always been strong
est. This proved to be large help.
When the campaign for the nomination
took the form of Doodle versus Bryan.
with the Doodle coming from sources
which had made the party a laughing
stock four years ago. the friends or MI
Bryan all rejoiced, and from the day of
that disclosure the Bryan tide increased
in volume
Judge Parkers defeat meant inevitably
the return of Mr.. Bryan to leadership
He himself was the first to see that. and
to move accordingly. The party had re-
jected the so-called sane and safe policies.
and the Bryan policies were clearly en-
titled to another try. Such was Mr.
Bryan's reasoning and it followed that
the Bryan policies called for their author
as their champion.
Thus has it been demonstrated again
that revolutions do not go backward
The old democratic party is a thing of
the past 1t could not be resurrected
under Judge Parker in 1904, nor this year
under the suggestion Of the name Of
Judge Gray. The new democracy means
Bryan. and he is appropriately its leader.
Now that both parties have presented
their men for first place it is in order to
congratulate the country on the high
character Of the presidential candidates.
Both Judge Taft and Mr. Bryan are in the
best sense Of the term good citizens. They
have lived clean lives, and no faint of re-
proach is possible in either case. What
ever happens in November, the next Presi-
dent will be man Of whom the American
people may be proud, personally, regard
less Of differences of policy and doctrine.

Hobson at Denver.
From the New York World.

For sheer balderdash about the desire
Of Japan for war with the United States
Representative Hobson outdid even him
self in his speech at Denver. The con.
vention showed its good sense by guyine
him numerically. To gain more noto
riety by making a noise is his one great
passion, and he is always in deadly
earnest about 1t. The animal with the
loudest bray IL noted for its solemn air
1t is not really a bad thing that Mr.. Hob
son succeeded In repeating his favorite
speech on SO conspicuous an occasion
The more persons hear and see him the
sooner they will come to realize the folly
Of paying serious attention to him. Once
the American people learn that a public
character Is a Joke, his usefulness is done
for except for purposes of popular amuse
ment.

AN ADMIRAL CAST
INTO DIRTY PRISON
THE FATE THAT BEFELL CAP
TAIN WENTWORTH H. MOORE IN
SALVADOR.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2.-From
Admiral of the Sa.vadoran navy to a
prisoner in loathsome subterranean
bastile was the remarkable transition
which befell Captain Wentworth H.
Moore, formerly first officer of the
Pacific Mail liner Peru, who six months
ago accepted an offer from the Central
American republic to take command
of its navy, consisting of one little inn
pudent gunboat, at a salary of $500 a
month. captain Moore, as ne said, re.
turned to Gods country yesterday on
the steamer Acapulco, his ideals shat
tered, and with ony the memory that
he was once an Admiral for a few
months to console MIN.
Six months ago Captain Moore occu-
pied a snug berth on the liner Peru,
plying between this port and Central
America. The Republic of Salvador
was looking for a man who could take
charge of its one-boat navy and make
something out of it. The diplomats of
the little republic, which is constantly
bubbing forth like volcano, had their
eyes on Captain Moore, and in an evil
moment he accepted their offer to be
commander in chief of the navy The
remuneration was $500 a month.
AS soon as Captain Moore assumed
command he began to do things in
American style. The picturesque jack
les of the navy were aroused from their
lethargy, compelled to drill and scaIe
aloft with little more rapidity. They
were no longer allowed to loll on the
deck, languidly putting cigarettes. Cap
tain Moore thought he was doing what
he was supposed to do-waking the
navy up and getting it into fighting
trim. But the people of the little re-
public are peculiar. They don't like to
work. Soon the Government began to
disapprove of the strenuous way In
which Captain Moore was shaking
down" crews and enforcing discipline.
Once Captain Moore endeavored to en-
force discipline by beating a sailor
aboard the flagship, and this was the
last straw The Government had long
since regretted that it had employed
Moore, and now was a good chance to
get rid of him. One of the regulations
of the Salvadoran navy is that no
sailor shall be put through the PAGES.
So Captain Moore fell from an Ad-
miral to a prisoner in a little rat-in-
tested jail, where he languished for
l'some time. At last he secured his re-
| lease and got aboard the first boat he
could find that would take him back to
Gods country. Captain Moore ac-
knowledged that his dreams of being
an Admiral were not what they were
| in reality.
The situation in Salvador and Guate-
mala, the two little Central American
republics with their backs always brist-
ling, is alarming, according to passen-
gers on the Acapulco. Since the at
tempted assassination of President Ca
brera of Guatemala there has been dis
content in Salvador, and President FL
gueroa of the latter republic Is living
in fear that he may meet the fate that
was arranged for Cabrera
