DEMOCRATS OF
CALIFORNIA ADOPT
NEW PLATFORM
State Convention In Session Recon-
mends the Exclusion of All Asiatics
INLAY Vote on Bond Issue.

Republican party in the Chicago
platform, and declares ''the emanci-
patton of California from the South
ern Pacific domination overshadows
every other public question. The
declaration of the principles for
which the Democratic party of Cali
fornia stands is contained in twenty
two short, terse paragraphs, most
of the important referring to re-
trenchment and reform in public
expenditures, the elimination of
party politics from public institu-
| tions; non-partisan judiciary; remoy-
al of party circle from the ballot;
exclusion of all Asiatic labor; SIM
plified criminal procedure; initiative
and referendum; recall in state and
local govermnets; strict regulations
for public service corporations;
physical valuation of their proper
ties; conservation of all remaining
natural resources.
i The platform recommends the
passage at the next Legislature of a
bill introduced at the last session
! by Senator Sanford preventing
Asiatics and such aliens as are not
eligible to citizenship from owning
: and leasing land in California, and
calls for the establishment by the
government of steamship line be-
tween the Pacific coast and the Pa
cific terminus of the Panama rail
, way.

THE USE OF LONG WORDS.

When Grover Cleveland said that
something or other was RELOCATED to
innocuous desuetude," the very un-
wieldiness Of the phrase made 1t
striking and effective.
But most Of the phrases given US
by public men, however, have been
short and blunt. Mark Hannas full
dinner pail" and his advice to stand
pat" along with Theodore Roosevelt's
square DEAL" and muck rake" are
more powerful and lasting than all
the 'innocuous desuetudes" in the
world. Poets find long words admir-
able for the sake Of melody, rhythm
and cadence. By the artistic use of
Latin derivatives, they build such
harmonious lines as Tennyson's:
THE moan of doves in immemorial
elms. and murmuring of the innumer-
able bees"
And yet the line pronounced by
Mathew Arnold the most beautiful
line of poetry in English literature.
has not long word or Latin word
in It; it is pure plain Anglo-Saxon.
He referred to Wordworth's descrip-
ton of the supreme power: Whose
dwelling is the light Of setting suns"
For conversation, at least and also
for ordinary writing, there can be no
doubt that short words are preferable.
1t is odd that SO many persons con-
slider long words better English" or
even better grammar" just because
they are long. The longer words are
correct, Of course. and are useful for
the purpose Of variety when one
wants to avoid repetition of the same
word, or for the sake Of musical ca
dence, or because Of fine shade Of
meaning not contained in the shorter
word. But there Is absolutely no
value in long words merely a. long
words.

ANDERSON LIKELY
TO JOIN BADGERS

Madison, Wis. Oct. s.-There is a
strong possibility that Sid Anderson,
the sensational halfback Of the 1909
Badger team will play this year. An
derson came back to college last Feb
rtlary on a promise to the faculty that
he would not play football this fall.
The promise was extracted from An
derson with the idea of taking him
out of athletics SO that he could de-
vote more time to his studies. At
the present time Anderson is free en-
tirely from scholastic deficiencies
with an average in his work far above
that required by the faculty for par
ticipation in intercollegiate sport.
The only thing standing in the way
Of his playing this year is the promise
to the faculty not to do so.
The speedy back feels morally
bound to abide by his promise and
will not ask the faculty to release
him, but it is rumored about in facul-
ty circles that that body voluntarily
will remove the ban and allow him to
play. Anderson's return would
strengthen the backfield greatly.

NAVY EXPERTS CONVINCED IT
WAS WORK OF coNsPIRAPoRs
AGAINST GOVERNMENT.
BELIEVE HOLE WILL BE
FOUND IN BOTTOM
Valves Not Opened, as First Declared,
But Leaked Little-This Could
Not Have Caused Troubhe-Mystery
Will Not Be Cleared Until Dock is
Raised, Probably Month Hence.

Manila, May 30.-Further examina-
tion Of the United States drydock
Dewey, which is partly submerged al
Olongap. in Subig bay, has strengthen
ed the belief Of those Of the navy who
have held that the damage was done
deliberately by conspirators against
the government. Experts believe that
a hole will be found in the bottom Of the
dock when an examination is possible
which will probably not be for several
weeks.
Valves Were Not Opened.
The valves were not opened. as first
declared, altllo they were found to have
been leaking a little. This leakage
would not have caused the trouble and
the dock sank more rapidly than would
been the case had all the valves been
opened and no other opening made.
Hole in tho Bottom.
Accordingly the experts believe that
"a large hole will be found in the port
side or bottom of the dock. 1t is prob
able that the mystery will not be
learned until the dock has been raised.
How long this will take can not be
said, but quite likely it will be four OF
five weeks.
In Mud Twelve Feet Deep.
The position of the dock is unchanged
today. except that the port side, con-
tanning machinery, which was farthesl
settled, is being now embedded in mud
to a depth of twelve feet. making its
present examination impossible. The
starboard is third dry and can cas-
lily be floated.
