DEMOCRATIC KEYNOTE FOR 1912

The Democratic League of New York
held convention at Saratoga. Sept. 10.
and formulated what is termed the best
platform written by the Democratic
Party in New York since 1874. There
were about 500 delegates present. and
the feeling of the meeting was deter
mination to forget past differences and
rehabilitate thei party to prepare for
1912. There was a hot debate over the
Endorsement Of q Federal income tax.
Several speakers planted themselves SOL
idly upon the old Democratic doctrine
that as far as possible taxation should
be reserved to the States. They We're
opposed to the Federal income and cor
peration taxes as an invasion of the
States prerogatives and sources of reve-
nue.. They asserted that 1t was also
against the Democratic opposition to
Capitalization of power. These were at
last defeated, and the Federal income
tax was indorsed, but plank was
agreed upon declaring for taxation of
by the State alone which
created them. The platform also de-
clared in favor of a vigorous enforce
ment of the State laws against crimi-
nal trusts and combinations in restraint
of trade.

DIVIDING CALIFORNIA.

The long-mooted proposition to di-
vide California into two States has at
last takennopen action by the Los An
geles Press and other papers. ana the
southern California commercial bodies
openly advocating a new state to in
clude alp the territory south of the
Tohachapi Range. A mass meeting has
been called at Los Angeles to consider
the matter, What has precipitated the
movement was a radical raise by the
State Board of EQUALIZATION in the val
uations of Los Angeles County.
Territorily. California is large enough
to make four States nearly the size of
Ohio, or three the size of New York.
sand so great are the diversities of cli-
mate, soil, products and commercial in
terests it would seem that the State was
entirely too large and cumbrous for one
community. California has total land
area of 155,9S0 miles. with coast line
of $50 miles and an approximate
these distances very great for the peo-
pie of the different portions of the
State to come together for one common
purpose, but the character of the SOIL
and the products and the commercial
interests show much wider divergence
than can be found in any other State in
the Union. The people of the northern
part of the State have absolutely differ
ent interests and aspirations from those
in the southern.
The northern people naturally center
in business. politics and social relations
around Sacramento and San Francisco
while those of the south as naturally
center about Los Angeles, and find their
way to the sea at Santa Monica or Santa
Barbara. They connect with the East
by the Southern Pacific Railroad, while
the northern peoples communication
with the East is by the Union Pacific.
AS. according to the census of 1900.
California had total population of
1,4S5,000, there are enough people
there to set up two well-equipped
States The population of California is
increasing more rapidly than that of
any other State in the Union. and dur
ing the last decade all of the 81 Coun-
ties except IL showed marked increase
in population. In the proposed south
ero State there will be the considerable
cities of Los Angeles. with population
in 1900 of 102, 400; San Diego. with
population of 1900; Fresno, with a
population of i12.400. and San Bernar-
dino. with a population of $50.

The 18th Ohio.

Comrade Alexis Coke. Columbus. g.
sends us copy of the compiled roster
OF the survivors of the 18th Ohio. He
says that 1t has taken several months
to compile this, and it is as accurate as
could be expected. What is remarkable
is that nearly all of the field and stan
are still living. altho the regiment was
one of the earliest in the field. Another
remarkable fact is that after lapse OF
~ years over 90 should still be alive.
The total enrolment was nearly 1.500.
nut ZOO OF these were drafted men aud
substitutes. who never Joined the regi-
ment. 1t may he inferred that the
hardships of nearly Eve years of active
service increased rather than dimin-
ished the vigor and vitality of the men.
Their average age at enlistment was 21
years. four months and q days. 1t was
probably less than that. as many who
gave their age as Is were really not SO
old

THE TARIFF BOARD.
Three Exceptionally Able Men
Compose 1t.

On the afternoon of Sept. Secretary
MacVeagh had come down from the
frost-tipped woods of New Hampshire
for his last conference with the .Presi
dent prior to the Western trip. They had
had a talk before the review, and they
talked after the review on a wide range
of topics affecting the administration of
affairs. Secretary MacVeagh will be
the ranking Cabinet officer in WASH
ington during much of the Presidents
trip-the man on the lid as it We're.
Among other things he brought down
to the President his recommendations
for the new Tariff Commission. which
will be composed of Prof. Henry C.
Emery. of Yale University: Assistant
Secretary of the Treasury James b.
Reynolds, and Alvin H. Sanders, of Chi
cagO. who owns and has been editing
the Breeders Gazette.
There has been a great deal of con-
ferring over that Tariff Board and also
over it's personnel. 1t is very impor-
tant Board, altho it's functions fall far
short of the kind of a Tariff Commits
sion which many men wanted. The
immediate impression was that the
President had named a very competent
trio of men, and that their labors would
make for the collection of truthful and
enlightening data about tariff rates.
They have authority, of course, chiefly
in the matter of investigating the tariffs
of foreign countries in connection with
the maximum and minimum provisions
of the Payne law. But the President.
if he wishes, can employ them in bring
ing out a vast amount of information
regarding the significance of rates.
The Chairman of the Board, Prof.
Emery, is a political economist of es-
tablished reputation and of thoro edu-
cation. He comes from Ellsworth, Me-,
the home town of Senator Hale, and
that is likely to please such standpat
leaders as Senator Hale and Senator
Aldrich. Assistant Secretary Reynolds,
who will now resign the office he has
held since March, 1905, has had charge
of the administration of customs, and
is very well informed about the practi-
cal workings of tariffs. There is no
more capable official in that line in all
the Treasury service. He is graduate
of Dartmouth, and, like Prof. Emery,
is not yet 40 years old Mr.. Sanders has
been very active advocate of reciproc-
ity and of downward revision, has
fought the Determinations of European
countries against the meat products of
the United States, and has made sew
eral visits to Europe on kindred errands
All three of the new Commissioners
have had European experience and
have a familiarity with European tar
ifs which should expedite the thoro
consideration of those documents which
they are expected to give. In the course
of the next three or four months they
will be required to show the President
whether any European Government is
discriminating against American goods,
and whether American exports are be-
ing given the most favored rates of duty.

The 2Afh n Y

Alfred Chenier, Cliffside. N J.. takes
exceptions to sketch of the seth N
Y, which recently appeared in The
National Tribune. That sketch said
that the regiment was organized at
Washington. May 2S, 1861. He says
that this is incorrect since the regiment
was organized in New York and was
prtsent in the Shenandoah Valley cam
paign.
The Official Volunteer Register gives
the statement as we made it. New
York in the War of the Rebellion" the
official records of the State, says that
the regiment was raised in New York
City May 81, 1861. and mustered into
the service of the United States at
Washington June 6, to date from May
%. Three of the companies were Ger
mans, three Hungarians. one Swiss. one
Italian. one French and one Spanish
and Portuguese. 1t had a long list of
battles to its credit, beginning with Bull
Run and ending with AppomattoX.-

AN ILLUSTRATED BALLOT.

Kentucky has introduced n novelty
into the primary ballot system. and one
that bids fair to have widespread popu-
larity. The ticket voted at a recent
primary election contained the portraits
of the different candidates FOR office
above the circle in which the voter
should mark his choice. number of
their photographs on the ballot. but in
stead put some emblem indicative OF
their personality. For example. one of
the candidates for County Clerk had a
barefooted boy plowing, another had a
squirrel: one of the candidates for Sher-
iff. who appears to be stock-raiser.
had a fine steer. One of the candidates
for Jailor. who probably makes q spe-
cialty of swine, had a fat hog, and an
other has a picture of charming baby.
Probably ne is a newly-married man
and proud of his fresh paternity. Noah
Wooden, who was candidate for Asses
sor. had an ark, and Bill Bowling. also
candidate for Assessor, is probably q
blacksmith, for his name is surmounted
by a horseshoe. Henry J. Sizemore,
candidate for Assessor, is probably a
job printer, as he had a picture of an
improved job press. The possibilities
of such a ballot as this are seen at a
glance and must be sufficiently tempt
ing to bring that fashion into general
use.

The Western bankers are making
themselves heard on the deposit guar
antee proposition, and especially against
any guarantee by the United States
Government. They want to control their
own funds and use them for the benefit
of their several communities. They
had sharp experience during the last
panic. They had gotten into the habit
of sending their surplus to New York
for safekeeping and where it would
earn little interest. The income from
this was certain. and they felt that
they could have their money whenever
they wanted it. They were bitterly dis
appointed. however, as soon as the con-
ditions began to harden around them.
They sent to New York for their money.
but found that it was all tied up in
Wall Street operations, and where they
wanted 100000 they found it difficult
to get more than $1,000 or $4,000, with
promise of the rest in weekly or
monthly installments This did not suit
them at ALL since they needed the
money in their own vaults to meet runs
that might come upon them at any time.

The proposition to build American
Dreadnoughts Of $4,000 tons displace-
Inent makes the naval people of France,
Great Britain and Germany gasp. as
such size is impossible to them, owing
to the shallow entrances to their har-
bors. Great Britain is better off in this
respect than her neighbors. as she has
deeper channels TO her great navy
yards. but none so deep as those of the
United States. All the entrances to the
German harbors are shallow and tor
tuous, filling up constantly with drifting
sands which require a stupendous out
lay to keep under control.

that. considered purely as a money
proposition. those who went out in
1851 and 1862 should have more pen
sion than those who enlisted in SO and
'64; but what of the boys from Is TO
II years of age who could not enlist
until them? Does the comrade pretend
to say that these boys were not as pa
triotic as he, because he happened to
be older when the rebellion broke out? ?
He can now get an age pension. while
the young boys cannot. There were
plenty of regiments made up as late as
'63 and '64 who saw harder fighting
and lost more killed and wounded than
some of the older regiments.

The old dispute as to the real ages of
the patriarchs' has been revived, and
this time by the Jews themselves. The
Jewish World, a leading organ of the
Hebrews, Yeomes out with the allega-
tion that I'm the earliest times the month,

popular conception of a year" Later
came ftse-month year, five being the
first comp5und number of people learn
ing to count, as it represented the num-
ber of fingers ongthe hand Later, when
the Jewsi'came into knowledge of the
Babyloniah method of reckoning time,
they made a six-month year, based
upon the suns movements, and still
later the Egyptian year was adopted as
we now have it, based upon the sup
posed journey of the sun around the
earth. Worked out according to these
different lines, Adams $50 years of life
become reduced to rs Il years. Worked
out on the fve-months basis, Abra-

The Ex.Prisoners of War

Frank J. Lewis. Fletcher. Okla. says
that his father went thru AndersOnville
and other prisons. and he has often
listened to his stories of the terrible
experiences of the men who suffered
there. He cannot understand why Con-
gress delays passing the ex-prisoners OF
war bill to give justice to the survivors
of those awful places. The amount
asked for is a trifling recompense for
what they endured there, and should
Congress hesitate?

The latest scare comes from no less
person than Lord Northcliff, who is
sounding the alarm over the possibility
that Germany may take Canada from
Great Britain. Apparently the noble
lord has entirely forgotten the United
States and the Monroe Doctrine. We
want Canada to stay just as she is, but
if there is going to be anybody taking
her the United States will rise at onye
to a question of privilege.
