Ships are Benefited.

1T is remarkable" he said. that
the long cruise should have benefited
the ships, but this is fact. The con
dition of their machinery is said to be
improved instead of deteriOrated by
the voyage. This is hardly more strik-
Ing than the effect the voyage has had
on the officers and men. The officers
have been impressed with the etfic1en-
cy of their ships as never before and
what is perhaps still more satisfactory
the cruise has developed an under
standing and friendly cordially be
tween officers and enlisted men which
has never before existed, and even
still more important as an improved
condition is the conduct and feeling
of the enlisted men themselves.
II have no hesitanCy in saying that
you could not pick at random 10000
university men throughout the cOun-
try who would give a better account
of themselves than the 10000 men
which constitute the personnel of the
fleet The enlisted men of the navy
are very different class of men than
formerly. The average age of the men
or the fleet seemed not to be more
than % years. They come from the
interior of the country, and are ener-
setic and selfrespecting.
Still another of the apparent bene-
fits of the cruise is the advantage to
the fleet which will result in the gen
uine rivalry and competition between
the ships as to coal consumption and
punnarv This alone iS most va H.

GOVERNMENT CONTROL OF
ALL NAVIGABLE STREAMS

VTT ATER furnishes the cheapest means
w of transportation, and the national
government having the control Of navi-
gable waters should improve them to their
fullest capacity.
And we earnestly favor the immediate
adoption Of liberal and comprehensive
plan for improving every water course in
the Union, which Is justified By the needs
Of commerce, and to encourage that end we
favor, when practicable, the connection of
the great lakes with navigable rivers and
with the gulf through the Mississippi river,
and the navigabIe rivers with each other,
and the rivers, bays and sounds Of our
coasts with each other by artificial chan
neIs, with q view to protecting a system OF
inland waterways, to be navigated by ves-
sells of standard draught-
We favor the coordination Of the various
services of the government connected with
waterways in one service, for the purpose
of aiding in the completion OF such q sys-
tenn of inland waterways and we favor the
creation of a fund ample for continuous
work, which shall be conducted under the
direction of commission Of experts to be
authorized by law.

INJUNCTION AND RAILROAD
PLANKS AS PROPOSED

m HE following is the full and correct
text of the injunction plank as adopt
- ed by the subcommittee ON resolu-
tions, and unanimously adopted by the con-
veution.
"The courts Of Justice are the buIwark OF
our liberties and we yield to none in our
purpose to maintain their dignity. Our
party has given to the bench long line of
distinguished Judges, who have added re-
spect and confidence in which this depart
ment must be JealOusly maintained. We
resent the attempt of the Republican party
ton raise a false issue respecting the judi
ciary.
'It Is an unjust reflection upon the great
body of our citizens to assume that they
lack respect for the courts. II is the func-
tion of the courts to interpret laws which
the people create, and IL the laws appear to
work economic. social or political injustice
1t is our duty to change them.
"The only basis upon which the integrity
Of our courts can stand is that Of unswerv-
ing justice and protection to life. liberty and
II judicial processes may be
abused We should guard them against abuse.
Experience has proved the necessity of a
Of the present law relating to
injunetions and we reiterate the pledge OF
our national platforms Of 1895 and 1904 In
favor Of the measure which passed the
United States senate In 1896, but which a
Republican congress has ever since refused
to enact, relating to eontempts in federal
courts and providing for trial by jury In
cases of indirect contempt.
Questions Of judicial practice have
Los Angeles herald., 1908-07-10

arisen, especially in connection with indus
trial disputes. We deem that parties to all
judicial proceedings should be treated with
rigid impartiality and that injunctions
should not be issued In any cases In when
injunctious would not issue II no Industrial
dispute were involved.
"The expanding organization Of Industry
makes It essential that there should be no
abridgement Of the right of wage-earners
and producers to organize for the protection
of wages and the improvement OF labor
conditions, to the end that such labor Or
ganizations and their members should not
be regarded as illegal combinations In re-
straint Of trade. We favor the eisht-hour
day on all government works.

enactment of a law by congress, as far as
the federal jurisdiction extends, for gen

OFFERS PROTECTION FOR
ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS

VT E pledge ourselves to insist upon the
w just and lawful protection of our

SEE NO EXCUSE FOR
THE PANIC OF 1907

Tr HE panic Of 1907 coming without any
legitimate excuse when the RepuD-
IIcan party had for n decade been In
complete control Of the federal government
furnishes additional proof that It is either
unwilling or incompetent to protect the In
terests of the general public. 1t has so
lined the country to Wall street that the
sins of the specuIators arc visited upon the
whole people, While refusing TO rescue the
wealth producers from spoliation at the
hands of tho stock gamblers and spectators
In farm products, it has deposited treasury
funds without interest and without conn
petition In favorite banks.
It has used an emergency for which It IL
largely responsible to force through congress
a bili changing the basis Of the bank cur
rency and inviting market manipulation,
and has failed to give to the 15,00o,00o de-
posItors of the country protection IN their
savings.
We believe htat in so far as the needs of
commerce require en- emergency currency,
such currency should be issued, controlled
by the federal government and loaned on
adeauate security to national and state
banks, We pledge ourselves to legislation
under which national banks shall be re-
ouired to establish n guarantee fund for the
prompt payment of the depOsitors of any
insoIyent national bank, under an equitable
system which shall be available to all bank
ing institutions wishing TO use 1t.
We favor postal savings bank Ii the
guaranteed bank cannot be secured and
that 1t be constituted so as TO keep the de-
posted money In the communities where 1t
Is established. But we condemn the policy
of the Republican party I'm providing postal
savings banks under u plan OF conduct Dy
which they will aggregate tho deposits OF
rural communities and redeDosit the same
while under government charge In the banks
Of Wall street, thus depicting the eircuiat-
ing medium of the producing regions and
unjustIy favoriDg the speculative markets.

self and chlIdren--ReViVes
at Hospital

Weak, hungry and almost exhausted,
Mrs. Anna Tomlinson, aged 29, fell for
ward suddenly in the crowd on Third
street near Spring, yesterday morn
ing on her way to the Associated
Charities to plead for assistance lot
herself and family.
In the shadow of plenty, almost at
the door of two of the largest banks
in the city and close to the marble
entrance of a fashionable cafe, the
woman staggered to one side to escape
the surging stream of pedestrians, and
before any one could realize that sne
was i'll she had fallen prostrate on the
cement sidewalk.
A number of men and women hur-
ried to her assistance, but all efforts to
revive her were futile, and she was
taken in an ambulance to the receiving
hospital, where later she revived ana
fold a pathetic and fearful story to
Police Surgeon Cook of her circum-
stances.
With two mouths to feed besides her
own and her husbands, Mrs Tomlin-
son, who lives at l4S2 Soutn NAM
street. had been driven to desperation
by the long days of vain search for
employment. She had walked the
streets, she said, until almost uncon-
scious, praying hourly that something
might turn up by which she coulu
provide honorable sustenance for her
two little children which she had taken
with her on her last trip yesterday to
appeal to the Associated Charities.
Children with Her
The two children were with her when
she swooned and chung pitifully TO her
side when the crowd gathered around
them. Not once would they release
their hold, but with tears In their
eyes stood over her. clinging to the
folds of her dress and gazing with big,
frightened eyes down in her white
face. The children were taken, sob
bing, with their mother to the hos
pital.
Two months ago Mrs. Tomlinson's
husband. who is scenic artist, was
thrown out of employment, and since
then had tried vainly to obtain work
Little by little they had pawned their
belongings until the last article that
possibly could be sacrificed was at the
money lenders. Then conditions be-
came more alarming and the woman

walton searching for employment. but
to no avail.
