WOMEN FOR GERMAN COLONIES,
Effort to Overcome the Dispari:;; Be-
tween the Sexes.

In the colonies of Germany there
are regions aggregating an area larger
than the mother country herself where
German settlers may thrive and make
new homes for themselves. They may
live in these new homes in greater
comfort than in the old country. AT
present there are about 10000 white
men in these colonies, bnt only Loco
women. This disparity between the
sexes is being much talked about in
Germany Many Of the leading Ger
man women are studying the problem.
They are asking If it would not
be a blessing to the colonies II their
white population consisted of some
thousands of German families instead
of few thousand German men. Would
it not transform the colonies into new
Germanys? The women say the Ger
man family should be the social unit
in the colonies.
In June last the Women's Colonial
union was organized under the patron-
age of Grand Duke Johann Albrecht of
Mecklenburg. Nearly every member
Of the managing committee is the wife
Of government official OF Of an army
officer.
In September the union sent its first
party of young women to one Of the
colonies. Thousands Of German WON:
en- are joining the society and large
scheme of work has been cut out.
In October the union began the puD-
LEGATION of a 16-page paper called Kolo-
ME and Heimat. 1t appears fortnight
ly, and is filled with fine photographs
of colonial scenes and news and COM
ment of the colonies. This is the Or
gan of the union, but it is only one
among a number of means through
which the influence of the union is
beginning to be widely felt. 1t is
working to interest German women Of
all ranks in life in the colonies, giving
advice and material support to womr
en- who intend to emigrate.

one means adversely. while the other
means prosperity; one means low
wages, the other high; one means
doubt and debt. the other means conf
dence and thrift
In principle the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism is that
one stands for yac.llation and timid-
ity in government, the other for
strength and purpose: one stands for
obstruction. the other for constitute
ton; one promises. the ether performs;
one finds fault, the other finds work.
Tendency Toward Socialism.
The present tendencies of the two
parties are even moro marked by in
hercnt differences. The trend OF
Democracy is toward socialism. while
the Republican party stands for n wise
and regulated ird!vidualism. Social
ISM would destroy wealth. Re"ublic-
anism would prevent it's abuse. Social
ism would give to each an equal right
to take; Republicanism would give to
each an equal right to earn. Socialism
would offer an equality of possession
which would soon leave no one any
thing to possess: Republicanism would
give equality OF opportunity which
would assure to each his share OF a
constantly increasing sum of possess
sions. In line with this tendency, the
Democratic party OF to-day believes
IN government ownership while the
Republican party believes in govern
ment regulation. Ultimately, Democ-
racy would have the nation own the
people, while Rcpublicanism would have
the people own the nation.
"Upon This We Appeal ia Country"
Upon this platform OF principles and
purposes, reaffirming our adherence
to every Republican doctrine pro-
claimed since tho birth OF the parry,
we go before the country. asking the
support not only of those who have
acted with us heretofore, but OF all
our fellow citizens who, regardless of
past political differences, unite In the
desire to maintain the policies, perpet'
uate the blessings and make secure
the achievements of a greater America.

STRENGTHEN TRUST ACT.
Federal Law, Where Found Effective
Should Be Amended.

The Republican party passed the Sher-
man antitrust law over Democratic OPP
position, and enforced it after Democrat
ic derelction. 1t has been a wholesome
instrument for good in the hands of n
wise and fearless administration. But ex-
perience has shown that its effectiveness
can be strengthened and its real OBJ
jects better attained by such amendments
as will give to the federal government
greater supervision and control over, and
secure greater publicity in, the manage
ment of that class of corporations en-
gagged in interstate commerce having
power and opportunity to effect monopo-
lies.

RIGHTS OF THE NEGROES.
Equal Justice for All Men, Without
REGARD to Race or Color.

The Republican party has been for more
than so years the consistent friend of the
American negro. 1t gave him freedom
and citizenship. 1t wrote into the or
ganic law the declarations that proclaim
his civil and political rights. and 1t be-
lieves to-day that his noteworthy prog
ress in intelligence, industry and good
citizenship has earned the respect and en-
couragement of the nation. We demand
equal justice for all men, without regard
to race or color: we declare once more,
and without reservation, for the enforce
ment in letter and spirit of the thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the constitution which were
designed for the protection and advance
ment of the negro. and we condemn all
devices that have for their real aim his
for reasons of color
alone, as unfair, uu-American and repug-
nant to the supreme law Of the land.

Chicago June 1S.-The following is
the platform adopted by the Republic.
an National Convention.
Once more the Republican party. in ma
tonal convention assembled, submits its
cause to the people. This great histor-
ic organization that destroyed slavery
preserved the union. restored credit eX-
banded the national domain, established
sound financial system, developed the
industries and resources of the country,
and gave to the nation her seat of hon
or In the councils of the world, now
meets the new problems of government
with the same courage and capacity with
which it solved the old.
In this the greatest era of American
advancement the Republican party has
reached its highest service under the
leadership of Theodore Roosevelt. His
administration is an epoch in American
history. In no other period since nation
al sovereignty was won under Washing
ton, or preserved under Lincoln, has
there been such mighty progress in those
ideals CT government which make for
justice, equality and fair dealing among
men. The highest aspirations of the
American people have found a voice
Their most exalted servant represents
the best aims and worthest purposes
Of all his countrymen. American man
hood has been lifted to a nobler sense
of duty and obligation. Conscience and
courage in public station and higher
standards of right and wrong In private
life have become. cardinal principles of
political faith; capital and labor have
been brought into closer relations of con-
fidence and interdependence; and the
abuse of wealth, the tyranny of power
and all the evils of privilege and favorit-
ism have been put to scOrn by the sim
pie, manly virtues of justice and fair
play.
Law Impartlally Enforced.
The great accomplishments of President
Roosevelt have been, first and foremost,
a brave and impartial enforcement of
the law. the prosecution of Illegal trusts
and monopolles, the exposure and pun
ishment of evil-doers in the public serv-
ice, the more effective regulation of the
rates and service of the great transporta-
ton lines, the complete overthrow OF
preferences, rebates and determinations,
the arbitration of labor disputes, the
;amelioration of the condition of wage
workers everywhere, the conservation of
the natural resources Of the country the
forward step in the Improvement of the
Inland waterways and always the earn
est support and defense of every whole
some safeguard which has made more
secure the guarantees of life, liberty and
property.
These are the achievements that will
make for Theodore Roosevelt his place
in history, but more than all else the
great things he has done will be an in
spiration to those who have yet great
er things to do. We declare our unfater-
ing adherence to the policies thus inau-
gurated and pledge their continuance I'M

PENSIONS FOR VETERANS.
Generous Provisions for Nations De-
Tenders and Their Dependents.

Another Republican policy which must
be ever maintained is that of generous
provision for those who have fought the
country's battles and for the widows and
orphans of those who have fallen. We
commend the increase in the widows
pensions made by the present congress
and declare for a liberal administration
of all pension laws. to the end that the
peoples gratitude may grow deeper as
the memories of heroic sacrifice grow
more sacred with the passing years.
Civil Service Endorsed.
We reaffrm our former declarations
that the civil-service laws enacted. ex-
tended and enforced by the Republican
party shall continue to be maintained
and obeyed.
To Promote Public Health.
We commend the efforts designed to Sc
cure greater efficiency in national public
health agencies and favor such legisla-
ton as will effect this purpose.
In the interest of the great mineral in
dustries of our country we earnestly
favor the establishment of a bureau of
mines and mining.

YOU'RETOO THIN.
Even Slight Catarrhal arrangements
Of tie Stomach Produce Acid Fer
menfation Of the Fo0d.
It's Stomach Cut0gYH

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperamental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are large number Of peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fieshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed Of
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents Of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
the Psychologist, hydrocarbons. This
class OF foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
the duodenum, the division of the ali
mentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, If not
wholly, the work Of the pancreatic
Juice. This juice is Of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
ton Of acid. A hyperacidity of the
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsified, and the system is
deprived of its due proportion of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation. Of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, If tho process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates a
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the pan
creatic digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents Of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juice is thus
preserved in it's normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eat a
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.
Under RepubIicanism America Has
Become Worlds Richest Nation.

Under the guidance of Republican prin-
ciples the American people have become
the richest nation in the world. Our
wealth to-day exceeds that of England
and all her colonies and that of France
and Germany combined. When the Re
publican party was born the total
wealth of the country was $4,000, 900.
1t has leaped to $4,000 100000 in a gen
Grafton, while Great Britain has gathered
but $50, 900. 900 in 500 years. The United
States now owns one-fourth of the worlds
wealth and makes one-third of all mod
ern manufactured products. In the great
necessities of civilization. such as coal.

chief basis of all industry: cotton. the
staple foundation OF all fabrics; wheat,
corn and all of the agricultural products
that feed mankind. Americas supremacy
Is undlsputed. And yet her great natural
wealth has been scarcely touched. We
have a vast domain Of 100000 square
miles. literally bursting with latent
treasure, still waiting the magic of cap
ital and industry to be converted to the
practical uses of mankind; a country
rich in soil and climate. in the unhar-
messed energy Of its rivers and In all the
varied products of the field. the forest
and the factory. With gratitude for Gods
bounty, with pride in the splendid pro-
ductiveness of the past and with con-

the future, the Republican party de-
cIares for the principle that in the de-
yelopment and enjoyment OF wealth so
great and blessings so benign there shall
be equal opportunity for all.
Revival Of Business.
Nothing so clearly demonstrates the
sound basis upon which our commercial.
Industrial and agricultural interests are
rounded. and the necessity of promoting
the present continued welfare through
the operation Of Republican policies. as
the recent safe passage Of the American
people through a financial disturbance
which. II appearing in the midst OF Demo-
cratic rule or the menace Of IL. might
have equaied the familiar Democratic
nanIcs OF the past. We congratulate the
Deonle upon this renewed evidence OF
American Supremacy and hail with con-
fIdence the signs now manifest OF a COM
piste restoration Of business prosperity

THE NATURAL RESOURCES.
Their Conservation lndorsed-For I'M
provement of Waterways.

We indorse the movement inauguarted
by the administration for the conserva-
ton of natural resources; we approve all
measures to prevent the waste of timber;
we commend the work now going on for
the reclamation of arid lands, and re-
affirm the Republican policy of the free
distribution of the available areas of the
public domain to the landless settler. No
obligation of the future is more insistent
and none will result in greater blessings
in posterity In line with this splendid
undertaking is the further duty. equally
imperative, to enter upon a systematic
Improvement upon a large and compre-
hensive plan, just to all portions of the
country, of the waterways, harbors and
great lakes, whose natural adaptability
to the increasing traffic Of the land is
one of the greatest gifts OF a benign
Providence.

AS TO iNJUNCTIoNs.
Upholds Integrity Of Courts, But
Would Modify Rules.

The Republican party will uphold at all
times the authority and integrity OF the
courts state and federal. and will ever
insist that their powers to enforce their
process and to protect life, liberty and
property shall be preserved inviolate
We believe, however that the rules of
procedure in the federal courts with re-
spect to the issuance of the writ of in
junction should be more accurately de-
fined by statute and that no injunction
or temporary restraining order should be
issued without notice, except where irrep-
arabic injury would result from delay,
in which case a speedy hearing thereafter
should be granted.
