shows remarkable growth and praise
is extended to Root for the results of
his trip to South America and Mexico.
(, The contribution 5of American Sta
tesmanship to the cause.of international
peace, so signally advanced in The
Hague conferences are occasions for just
pride and qualification, says platform.
At the last session Of the senate The
Hague conference was ratified in many
ways. lessening the probability of war
and promoting peaceful international
controversy.
Such legislation as will revive Ame-
rican shipping is advocated, although
no plan is mentioned.
Pensions for ..veterans must be main.
tained and the increase in widows pen
sions, made by the present congress, it
commended.
The Eplatform ..reaffirms former de-
clarations that the civil service law be
enforced.
1t favors such legislation as will
effect greater efficiency of the national
public health and favors establishment
of bureau of mines and mining.
Praise is given the government of
Porto Rico and Philippines and the &C !.
tion Of the government in Cuba and
Panama is commended. It says time
has justified the selection of Panama as
the canal route and the progress in build
ing the canal is declared to be rapid be-
yond expectation.
1t claims none of the great measures
advocated in the platform could be
enacted under democratic administration
as there is a fundamental difference
between the two parties. 1t says the
present tendency of democracy is to-
ward socialism which would destroy
wealth.
RepubIicanism would prevent this
abuse.
Ultimately democracy would have
the nation owu the people, while repub-
licanism would have the people own the
nation. Optic.
