Our Party's Ideal.
The platform of our party clos
with brief statement of the party's
ideal. 1t favors "sueh an admins
tration of the government as will in
sure, as far as human wisdom can,
that each citizen shall draw from
society a reward commensurate with
his contribution to the welfare of
society,""
Governments are good in proper
ton as they assure to each member
of society, so far as governments can,
O return commensurate with indi-
vidual merit.
The Divine Law of Rewards.
There is a divine law of reward
When the Creator gave us the cart
with it's fruitful soil, the sunshine
with its warmth and the rains with
their moisture, He proclaimed, as
clearly as if His voice had thundered
from the clouds, "Go work, and ac-
cording to your industry and your in
telligence, SO shall be your reward. "
Only where might has overthrown,
cunning undermined or government
suspended this law, has different
law prevailed. To conform the gov
ernment to this law ought to be the
ambition of the statesman; and no
party can have higher mission than
to make it reality wherever govern
ments can legitimately operate.

secrate whatever ability l have to the

committed by a negro on white wo-

by telegraph ordered two companies

Sunday afternoon steps were taken
to notify the negro residents of tbs
suburban districts to come into tht

scattered settlements extending
around the outskirts Of the city pre-
sent too great a field for even the
big body of troops here now. 1t was
the idea of the military authorities
that the most effective work could
be done with the danger spots re-
strictei as much as possible. Another
factor in this connection was the
large number of warnings Of impcnd-
ing trouble. At all the police sta
tions word was received that attacks
were organizing by lawless persons,
who with complete day of rest were
expected to make the night the time
Of supreme test between the mob and
the troops.
Several complaints were received
from nearby villages ard hamlets Of
Ike existence Of threatening condi-
iions. The most :nsis;ent came from

negroes there became frightened at
the attitude of. their white neighbors
and asked that trccps be sent. Their
spokesman was told that the best
plan would be for them to come to
Springfield and seek protection at the
arsenal. Tie authorities are a bit
worried by the conditions in the
outside sections.

charges, "quickened the conscience
OF the people and brought on moral

During all this time, I beg to re-
mind you, Republican officials pre-
sided in the Executive department,
filled the Cabinet, dominated the Sen
ate, controlled the House of Repre-
sentatives and occupied most of the
Federal judgeships. -Four years ago
the Republican platform boastfully
declared that since 1S60-with the
exception of two years-the Republi-
can party had been in control of part
or of all the branches of the Federal
government; that for two wears only
was the Democratic party in a posi-
ton to either enact or repeal law.
Having drawn the salaries; having
enjoyed the honors; having secured
the prestige, let the Republican party
accept the responsibility.
Republican Party Responsible.
Why were these "known abuses"
permitted to develop7 Why have
they not been corrected7 If existing
laws are sufficient, why have they
not been enforced7 All of the execu-
tive machinery Of the Federal gov
ernment is in the hands of the Repub-
lican party. Are new laws neces-
sary9 Why have they not been en-
actedH With Republican President
to recommend, VIII Republican
Senate and House to carry out his
recommendations, why does the Re-
publican candidate plead for further
time in which to do what should have
been done long ago? Can Mr.. Taft
promise to be more strenuous in the
prosecution of wrong-doers than the
present Executive7 Can he ask for
larger majority in the Senate than
his party now has? Does he need
more Republicans in the House of
Ii rresentatives or Speaker with
more unlimited authority9
Why no Traiff Reform?
The Presidents close friends have
been promising for reveral years that
he would attack the iniuuities of the
tariff. We have had intimation that
Mr.. Taft was restive under the de-
mands Of the highly protected indus
tries. And yet the influences of the
manufacturers, who have for twenty
FIVE years contributed to the Republi-
can campaign fund, and who in re-
turn have framed the tariff schedules,

has been Sufficient 10 prevent tariff
reform: As the present. campaign ap:-
preached, botli the President and Mr.:
Taft declared in favor of tariff re;
vision, but set no date Of revision
after the election. But the pressure
brought to bear By the protected III
tcrests has been great enough to pre-
vent any attemnt at tariff reform be-
fore the election; and the reduction
promised after the election is so
hedged about with qualifying phrases
that no cne can estimate with accu-
raey the srtl total of tariff reform ts
be expected in case of Republican,
success. If the past can be taken as
a guide the Republican party will be
so obligated by campaign contribu-
tiens from the benefciaries of pro-
lection, as to make that party power
less to bring to the country any ma
terial relief from the present tariff
burdens.
Why no Antitrust Legislation?
A few years ago the Republican
leaders in the House of Representa-
tives were coerced By public opinion
into the support of an antitrust law
which had the endorsement Of the
President. but the Senate refused
even to consider the measure, and
since that time no effort has been
made by the dominant party to sea
cure remcdical legislation unon this
subject.
The Republican party is arraigned
for its failure to give more power to
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion.
On the subject of publicity of CAM
paign contributions, Mr.. Bryan comes
out strongly, Among other things he
says:
How can the people hope to rule if
they are not able to learn until after
the elction what the predatory in
terests are doing7 The Democratic
party meets the issue honestly and
courageously. 1t says:
"We pledge the Democratic party
to the enactment Of law prohibiting
any corporation from contributing to
q campaign fund, and any individual
from contributing all amount above q
reasonable maximum, and providing
for the publication, before election of
all such contributions above O reason
able minimum. +"
Democratic Party Defender of Hon.
est Wealth.
We may expect those who have
committed larceny by law and pur.
chased immunity with their political
influence, to attempt to raise false
issues, and to employ "the livery
of Heaven" to conceal their purposes
but they can no longer deceive. The
Democratic party is not the enemy OF
any legitimate industry or of honest
accumulations. 1t is, ON the contrary
a friend of industry and the steadfast
protector of that wealth which rep
resents service to society. The
Democratic party does not seek to an
initiate all corporations; it simply
asserts that as the government creates
