Caleb Powers, the famous Ken
tuckian who has been imprisoned
so long for completely in the Goe-
bel murder, has finally been par
doned. Justice has probably been
done in this case, but Powers, de-
served some punishment. The
shooting was done from his office
and Powers knows who did it.

The vice presidency seems to be
a matter of small importance. 1t

be an unwritten law that a vice
president is down and out, except,
as stated, in the event of the presi-
dents death.

As to Platforms.

It behooves the average citizen
not to excite himself over political
platforms. We have known sens
ible men who lived long and hap
PLY without reading any platforms
or calling on anybody else to read
them aloud. Platforms may or may
not be important. Usually, they
are toe long; generally they are too
f1orid; almost always they are care
fully made obscure for the purpose
of being transposed to suit any
locality or. temperature
A platform cannot be judged ex-
cent in connection with the candi-
date. Who occupies 1t? Theodore
Roosevelt is his own platform. The
planl1s provided for his use he con
gerted into big sticks. Now and
chen he kicks holes in his platform,
and even those who considered it
a work of art as constructed cheer
Justify while he does so.
William II. Taft is a big man. His
platform, no doubt, viii be altered
by him, now and then, TO suit the
emergency of his own weight. The
people who cheer Taft won't care
much about the platform on which
he stands, unless they worry, now
and then, concerning its strength,
his pounds and the possible danger
of collapse.
William J. Bryan is very ffnicly
as to platforms for others. lie
spends his waking hours telling
what the platforms of other people
and of other parties should be. Yet
nothing less than a moving side
walk would serve as a platform for
the Peerless One. He seizes and
abandons planlls with positive in
decency. The paramount plank OF
today may DE in the woodpile to-
morrow.
After all, the two most reliable
and symmetrical planks are these:
Eve view with alarm the fact
that we are cut"

that we are in

What Tag Day" Made Possible.

flag Day Will open, next Monday
afternoon, twenty-eight public play
grounds. That is the assured result
of the good-natured tax collecting
done on Saturday two weeks ago.
It amounts, as far as figures can
gauge such a result, to about 100000
attendances for the season.
Three of these grounds viii be
new. That means 900 play days
in addition to those of last year,
and it is the product of the sum con
tributed above the $500 asked by
tie committee on Tag Day. So the
showing is that what Congress fail
ed to do, the people of the District
have done and done handsomely
But it is a mistake to assume that
all has been done that can be OF
that should he done for the chill
dren. The twenty-eight Fairgrounds
indicated VIII not accommodate a
tenth of our Youngsters if they all
report to play at the same time.
Forty-eight Fairgrounds would just
about give elbow room to those who
are likely TO report. All that can
Yet be done, therefore, is needed.
Which means that the baseball game
between the Chamber of Commerce
and the Board of Trade, set for to-
morrow afternoon, offers another
opportunity, as good natured, as
lightly burdensome, as practically
valuable as Tag Day"
