The work of erecting a postofrice at

ADOPTED
VERY STRONG PLATFORM

Denver, Colo; July i0,-The plat.
form adopted " ,he democratic ma
tional convention most notable ones
ever adopted. Following is some OF
its strongest points;
Tariff.
We welcome the belated premise of
tariff reform now affected by the re-
publican party in tardy recognition
of the righteousness of the democrat
ic position on this question; but these
people cannot safely entrust the exc
lcution Of this important work to a
lparty which is so deeply obligated to
the highly protected interests as is
the republican party. We call atten-
ton to the significant fact that the
promised relief was postponed until
latter the coming election-an election
to succeed III which the republican
party must have that same support
from the benehciaries Of the high pro
ltective tariff as it >has always hereto
fore received from them; and to the
further fact that during years OF un-
interrupted power no action whatever
mas been taken by the republican con
gress to correct the admittedly exist
iniquities.
We favor immediate revision Of the
tariff by the reduction of import du
lties. Articles entering into competi
ton with trust controlled produce
should be placed upon the free list;
land material reductions should be
made tn the tariff upon the necessar
les OF life. especially upon articles
lcompeting with such American manu-
factures as are sold abroad more
cheaply than at home; and graduate
reductions should be made in such
Iother schedules rs may be necessary
TO restore the tariff to a revenue basis
Existing duties have given to the
manufacturers OF paper shelter be
hind which they have organized com
lbinaUons TO raise the price OF pull
Eand of paper thus imposing a tax up
on the spread Of knowledge, We de
fmand Che immediate repeal OF the tar
in on pulp print paper, lumber, tim
ber. logs and that these articles be

party sounded a retreat? In the Pres
idnet's message to Congress last
spring he presented an Indictment
against the conspiracy formed among
enforcement of the law and to evade
the punishments provided by law.
The platform adopted by the Repub
lican convention contains no intima-
ton of danger If there are any con-
sDiracies the convention did not see
them: if there are any dangers ahead
it was unconscious of them. Was the
President mistaken when he issued
his defiance. or are the Republican
managers deceived when they think
an aroused public will calmly contem-
plate the encroachments OF predatory
wealth. This is retreat No g.

ed down the plank in favor of the
popular election of United States
Senators 1t is true that the Presi
dent and Secretary Taft have never
advocated the popular election OF
senators. They seem to take the
Hamiltonian, rather than the Jeffer
sonian view, but the most popular
reform in the United States today is
the reform that has for its object the
election. OF United State" Senators by
direct vote 1t has been five times
endorsed by the House of Represen-
tatives, three times when the House
of Representatives was republican. II
has been endorsed by nearly two
thirds of the states of the union an
there is probably not a state in the
union in which it would not be en-
dorsel at a popular election, and yet
in spite of the record made in thu
House of Representatives and the va
rious states, this reform is rejecte,
by a seven to one vote in republican
national convention.
Here are seven propositions upol
which the republican party in nation

president What have Roosevelt re
publicans to say? The president ha
awakened a spirit of reform With
his party, he has at least revealed t
the world that there are reformers

LINCOLN (NebD, June 22.-Under
the caption In Full Retreat" William
J. Bryan. in the next issue of the
Commoner will discuss the Republi
can convention as follows:
The Republicans who attended the
national convention as spectators and
joined in the demonstration in favor
of President Roosevelt and Senator
La Toilette. must have felt indignant
as they watched the panic stricken
their effort to get away from the La
Toilette reforms. some of which had
been endorsed by the President him
self. Congressman Cooper of Wiscon-
sin, representing the La Toilette plat
form, brought in minority report
signed by himself alone.
"Fifty-two members Of the commit
tee signed the majority report and
one signed the minority report. The
Republican party will find the ratio
of 50 to l a very embarrassing one to
deal with in the coming campaign.
Mr.. Cooper's report contained dec
laratiOn in favor of publicity as to
campaign funds, which was lost by
vote of $50 to "a, more than nine to
one and yet the President has been
advocating legislation in favor of pub
licity as to campaign contributions
and Secretary Taft wrote a letter to
Mr. Burrows advocating the passage
of such a bill How fortunate it was
that Secretary Taft's letter was final
ly discovered and published. Senator
Burrows, the man to whom the Taft
letter was adressed, was the tenn
porary chairman of the convention
and the convention over which he
presided turned down the publicity
plank by a vote of 9 to L. Who will
deny that, on this subject the Repub-
lican party is retreating?
Another plank of the La Toilette
platform authorized the ascertainins
of the value of the railroads. This
plank was lost by vote of 917 to 63
nearly Is to /, and yet President
Roosevelt has advocated this very
propositiOn. Here is a retreat on Int
railroad question.
In another column reference i:
made to the injunction plank, it says
The injunction plank adopted b!
the Republican convention is a re
treat from the position taken by th'
President and from the position takel
by Secretary Taft in his speeches, al
though neither of them went as far a.

THE President advocated an in
Msritance tax, but the Republica

words composing d cipher cablegram
transmitted by the Delany automatic

the new telegraph company, the Tele-

one of the government bureaus that
the Telepost machines can handle
cipher as well as plain English.
After watching the transmission OF
about a thousand words minute over
an artificial circuit equal to the dis
lance from New York to Buffalo the
government employee produced from
his pocket the cipher cable of which
four sample words are given and, with
a laconic "Send this" handed it to the
operator. The test was as difficult as
human ingenuity could suggest, the
cipher being a reproduction in form
and character of the code used by the
United States government in tele-
graphic correspondence.
After the perforation of the tape by
which the Telepost apparatus operates
the message was placed in the rapid
transmitter. and every word came out

hands of telegraphers in Washington
and New York have removed any doubts
that existed as to the entire practi-
cability Of the system in commercial
operation Recent reports show good
progress with the establishment of the
company's lines from New York.
