Denver, Colo, July 10 = The
democratic platform adopted by the
convention contains the following pro.
visions.
It cites the republican congress just

by that body Of one billion dollars in
face Of the fact that it exceeds the
appropriation Of the previous year BY
$9Oooo,OOo. and that deficit Of $780,

It denounees the needless waste
Of the peoples money as a crime
against the working people.
The promise Of tariff reform BY

ognition Of the righteousness Of the
democratic position: I'VE favor the
immediate revision Of the tariff BY
entering into competition with arti.
reduction Of import duties. Articles
cles controlled By the trusts should
be placed on the free list. Material
reduction should be made on the ne.
cessities Of life, especially articles
competing with such Amerien goods
as are sold cheaper abroad than at
home and graduated reductions
should be made. Another schedule
is necessary to reduce the tariff to

THE DICK BILL

The provisions of the Dick bill are
now to be carried out to their full con-
illusions, according to Mr.. oliver. the
assistant secretary of war, the plans
of the war department to this end
having been perfected at last. 1t was
some years ago that this bill was mass
ed for the purpose of bringing the
state militia into coordination with
the regular troops. both in the yearly
maneuvers games and in actual SER
vice in war times. Naturally, it takes
a long time to work over a plan that
shall revolutionize the militia bodies

finally been done and will not be nut

fighting force was haphazard and
slow.
one of the most interesting aspects
or the coordination of the state and
the federal military arms is the illus
tration it gives of the deepened sense
of general responsibility for the COM
mon defense. There is no reason for
a state force as such except for po-
lice purposes. 1t still has that duty.
But instead of being a mere constabu-
larry under arms, it now has become
force for the defense of the nation.

JAPAN AND HER NAVY

In view of the remarks of a not in
considerable portion of the press, some
of it of the metropolitan" charac-
ter. concerning the utterly baseless
and actually idiotic tattle about war
ships for Japan being secretly ordered
by Brazil" persons possessed of COM
mon sense are left to wonder whether
1t is due to the ignorance and stupidity
of the editors of these offending sheets
or to their low estimate of the intelli-
gence of their regular readers.
AS a matter of fact Japan has made
no secret of her plans to bring her
navy up to the standard called for by
her position as a world power" and
the necessity of maintaining a force
capable of defending her entire coast
line, just as the United States is in
tent on doing at the present time; and
so there can be no reason why there
should be any secrecy in what she is
doing in that line.
Further. it is plain to everyone who
has any powers of observation. that
in these days it is not possible for any
nation or the shipyards of any nation
to lay the keel of a warship of any
sort without the knowledge of all the
rest; for even, If the electric current
did not carry it around the earth. the
naval employees of every government
accredited to and by all, whose special
business 1t is to ascertain and send
home all the news obtainable con-
corning new warships of all de-
scriptions under construction by the
nation to which they are sent, are
bound to do so at the earliest oppor-
tunitY.

OF all the political jokes which have

is found in the suggestion of Charles

the Democratic convention. He in
sists that Theodore Roosevelt ought to
be named by the Democrats as their
candidate for the vice presidency. He
thinks that Mr.. Roosevelt is the
strongest man who could be named for
this place. And the best part of this
Joke is that Mr.. Thomas is serious in
his suggestion.
