conservation of natural resources; we
approve all measures to prevent the
waste of timber; we commend the
work now going on for the reclama-
ton of arid lands and reaffirm the Re-
publican policy of the free distribu-
ton OF the available areas of the pub
lie domain to the landless settler. No
obligation of the future is more insist
ent and none will result in greater
blessings to posterity. In line with
this splendid undertaking is the fur
Their duty, equally imperative, to enter
upon systematic improvement upon
a large and comprehensive plan, just
to all portions of the country, of the
waterways, harbors and Great Lakes,
whose natural adaptability to the in
creasing traffic of the land is one of
the greatest gifts of a benign Provi-
dence.
The Army and Navy. =
The Sixtieth congress passed many
cOmmendable acts increasing the eff
cheney of the army and navy. AL
though at peace with all the world and
secure in the consciousness that the
American people do not desire and
will not provoke war with any other
country we nevertheless declare our
unalterable devotion to a policy that
will keep this republic ready at all
times to defend her traditional doc
trines and assure her appropriate part
in promoting permanent tranquility
among the nations
Merchant Marine.
We adhere to the Republican doc
trine of encouragement to American
shipping and urge such legislation as
will revive the merchant marine pres
tige of the country, so essential to ma
tional defense, the enlargement of
foreign trade and the industrial pros
perity of our own people.
Veterans of the Wars.
Another Republican policy which
must be ever maintained is that of
generous provision for those who have
fought the country's battles and for
the widows and orphans of those who
have fallen. We commend the in
crease in the widows pensions made
by the present congress and declare
for liberal administration of all pen
sion laws to the end that the peoples
gratitude may grow deeper as the
memories of heroic sacrifice grow
more sacred with the passing years.
Cuba, Porto Rico and Philippines.
The American government, in Re-
publican hands, has freed Cuba, given
peace and protection to Porto Rico
and the Philippines under our flag and
begun the construction of the Panama
canal. In Porto Rico the government
of the United States is meeting loyal
and patriotic support; order and pros
perity prevail and the wellbeing of the
people is in every respect promoted
and conserved In the Philippines in.
surrection has been suppressed, law
established ,and life and property
made secure.
Democratic lncapacity.
We call the attention of the Amer
lean people to the fact that none of
the great measures here advocated by
the Republican party could be enacted
and none of the steps forward here
proposed could be taken under
Democratic administration or under
one in which party respons Utility is
divided.

the commission, but maintaining al
ways the principal of competition be-
tween naturally competing lines and
avoiding the common control OF such
lines by any means whatsoever. We
favor such national legislation and SUI
pervision as will prevent the future
overissue of stocks and bonds by inter,
state carriers.
Employers Liability.
The enactment in constitutional
form at the present session OF con-
gress of the employers liability law;
the passage and enforcement of the
safety appliance statutes, as Well as
the additional protection secured for
engineers and firemen; the reduction
in the hours of labor Of trainmen and
railroad telegraphers; the successful
exercise of the powers of mediation
and arbitration between interstate
railroads and their employees and the
law making beginning in the policy
of compensation for injured employees
of the government are among the most
commendable accomplishments of the
present administration. But there is
further work in this direction yet to
be done and the Republican party
pledges its continued devotion to every
cause that makes for safety and the
hetterment of conditions among those
whose labor contributes so much to
the progress and welfare of the coun-
try.
Court Procedure.
The Republican. party viii uphold at
all times the authority Ind integrity
of the courts, state and federal, and
will ever insist that their powers to
enforce their process and to protect
life, liberty and property shall be pre-
served inviolate. We believe, how
ever, that the rules of procedure in
the federal courts with respect to the
Issuance of the writ of injunction
should be more accurately defined by
statute and that no injunction, or tenn
porary restraining order, should be
issued without notice, except where
irreparable injury would result from
delay, in which case speedy hearing
tneredIt0r should De granted.
The American Farmer.
Among those whose welfare is as
vital to the welfare of the whole coun-
try as is that of the wage Garner is
the American farmer The prosperity
OF the country rests peculiarly upon
the prosperity of agriculture. The Re-
publican party during the last twelve
years has accomplished extraordinary
work in bringing the resources of the
national government to the aid of the
farmer, not only in advancing agricul-
ture itself, but in increasing the con-
veniences of rural life. Free rural
mail delivery has been established;
1t now reaches millions of our citi-
zens and we favor its extension until
every community in the land receives
the full benefits of the postal service
We recognize the social and economic
advantages of good country roads,
maintained more and more largely at
public expense and less and less at the
expense of the abutting owner. In
this work we commend the growing
practice of state aid and we approve
the efforts of the national agricultural
department by experiments and other
wise to make clear to the public the
best methods of road construction.
Natural Resources.
We endorse the movement inau-
gurated by the administration for the

PLATFORM SUITS UNCLE JOE.
Convention Hall, Chicago,
June Io.-Speaker Cannon was
seen at the Union League club
and asked for his views on the
platform. He said: 81 think
the committee on resolutions
has worked out a very COM
mendable expression as to the
position of the republican party
on the two points over which
there was so much controversy.
The court procedure plank ex-
pressed in unequivocal language
the traditional confidence of the
republican party in the integrity
of the courts and insists that
their powers to enforce their
processes and protect life and
property must be preserved in
violate. The resolution further
commends the courts by recon-
mending that what has been
and is their practice in issuing
injunctions shall be expressly
declared in the statues. / APP
prove the plank if adopted"
II also approve the plank as
reported touching an amendment
to the Sherman antitrust act.
The committee struck out of
the tentative draft of that
plank the language which SEEM
ed to indorse class legislation. I
think all republicans can unite
in the Endorsement of these
two planks over which there
has been much controversy.
"As to the tariff plank it is
in harmony with the resolu-
ton adopted by the republican
convention of the Eighteenth,
congressional district of Illinois,
which / have the honor to rep
resent and as that resolution
was approved by me before it
was adopted I naturally approve
the expression in the national
platform, expressions of some of
the newspaper writer's to the
contrary Notwithstanding"

Educators Discuss It.

Experiments in open-air schoolh ouses
designed for the treatment Of tubercu
lar children were discussed at the open
ing session of educators from all over
the country in the boardroom OF the
new Municipal Building on Monday.
The many delegates were welcomed by
Commissioner MacFarlsnd, and the
principal question which will hold the
attention of the $50 delegates-that of
the proper sanitation, construction and
heating of choolhouses-was entered.
DR.. Ellen Stone, of Providence, r. l.,
enc of the many delegates interested in
special work along the lines of santa
ton, placed before the congress the
preliminary results of tests which she
has made toward the end Of open air
schoolhouses for tubercular children.
She declared that, while her open air
school is at present nothing more than
a great barn, open on one side, which
affords no more than an overhead shell
ter for the many pupils, the results
nave so far been satisfactory. The
school hours are not long, and every
desk is equipped with feet warmers.
Every hour warm soup is served the
pupils. and at intervals of three hours
they are allowed to so into houses and
become thoroughly warmed. In this way
The tubercular scholars are kept apart
from their unaffected fellows, but re-
main undeprived of an education.

Threatened Forest Fires.

Due to the prolonged drought the
danger from forest fires at this time is
very great and the exercise of every
precaution is necessary to protect tim
Der and other property. The damage
caused by such fires is not alone meas
ured by the destruction of timber, young
growth and buildings, but is also meas
ured by the reduced capacity of the
forest to grow timber for the future and
its reduced power to regulate the flow
Of streams. In many other states the
loss caused by forest fires this season
amounts to millions of dollars, whole
towns have been destroyed and some
lives lost. There are Instances in this
state when only by the prompt action of
forest wardens assisted by others, school
houses and other property has been saw
ed from what would have been certain
destruction without such assistance. a
fire in the forest at this time is likely to
entail heavy loss not only to the in
dividual owner, but to the community
in general. The most dangerous season
is only begun and it is therefore urged
that all public spirited citizens lend
their aid in enforcing the state forest
fire laws and notify the nearest forest
warden, or the State Forester at Balti-
more, of any violation Of the same.
The law makes it misdemeanor to
malicio usiy or carelessly set fire or al
low it to escape to the injury of the
lands Of others, and imposes fine of
not less than S25 or more than 81, 200
for each offense, or Imprisonment for
not less than 80 days OF more than one
year, or both such fine and imprison-
ment. Copies Of the law can be secured
from the forest wardens or from the
State Forester on application. Any
land owner who desires to post the
official fire warning notices in the yicin-
ity of his woodlands for the protection
it affords can secure limited number of
such notices printed on cloth on appli-
cation to tue State Forester Baltimore,
Nd
