does not think that the railroad bill

for these reasons:
1T commits the nation to system

business that is preposterous. 1t
plainly or by necessary implication
takes away any authority the States
may have had to remedy evils or reg

within their boundaries. In short 1t
legalizes conditions that leave the
railroads a prey to designing and UNI
scrupulous Federal officials, and takes
from the States the right to protect the
people from the railroads or the rail-
roads from the evils that capital and
organization inspire among unsuccess-

MAKING A REAL PLATFORM.

Woodrow Wilson, of Princeton,
never lost his head in his life.
Trained in the best schools of this
country, and long a student of govern
ment at first hand, he has always
looked at political problems from the
viewpoint of a philosopher with all
the practical knowledge of man of
affairs. He never bowed down and
lworshiped populistic opportunism. he
never abandoned the true theories OF
1.-THE party for tho pet schemes of
single popular idol. All that he has
done he has done in faith, and all
thatshe has proposed he has proposed
in honesty.
4 DR.. Wilson made a speech at Eliza
sbeth. New Jersey, the other night in
(which he showed what manner of man
he is. 1t was 4 magnificent speech,
tcrammed full of common sense and
trimming over with high political
ideals. Its every sentence was call
ito the country and its every period a
tocsIn to arouse the Democratic forces
aof the nation.
Tho princeton president had too
much sense to suggest, in one-two-
three order. any reforms which
would right the ship of state and
carry it off the breakers. He merely
outlined, boldly. bravely, what the
party has to do. and how the party
has to do it If it want to save the
the Democratic platform should be-:
control of the trusts, but not Federal
ownership: the prevention of monopo-
lies in the making: rule of economy
and honesty in high places, and an APP
peal to the people as against the
protected classes. With this, of course,
he coupled tariff reform, for none
knows better than he that real re-
form of the tariff is the sure cure for
our financial and industrial ills.
What Dr. Wilson says about con-
trolling trusts in the making is well
worth while. The true aim of the
Government should be not only to
punish conspiracies in restraint of
trade. but to prevent conspiracies that
may restrain trade. 1t is as much a
function of the Federal authorities to
keep combination from being formed
as it is their duty to dissolve such a
combination when ii is formed.
when he pleaded for the rights of the
people against the rights of the
classes. This is demand for the one
thing upon which government is
properly founded-equal rights to all
and special privileges TO none, and it
is also a demand for the very thing
the Republicans have neglected in
the making of the tariff, in the dis
tribution of patronage and in appoint
ments to offics. The country can never
be told too..oftsn that the people are
the rulers. for. when this fact is borne
home to every voter, Republican rule
will be at an end.
OF course, the question will at
once be raised as to how we are to
do the things DR.. Wilson and a great
many other good men think we ought
to do. This question must be an
swered in time, but before the Demo
cratic party begins to make answer it
should remember that the man who
makes UP his mind to do a thing is
the only man who does that thing.
+ Where there's will there's way,
and where there is true Democratic
platform, there will be found way to
make that platform the law of the
land.

GAYNORs BLuNDER.

Mayor Gaynor, of New York, be-
lieves that the whole hog or none is
the true policy of reform and does
not care very much whose hog 1t is.
He apparently does not intend to give
a few filthy municipal chambers of
New York cleaning. but proposes.
after his lights. to clean up the whole
town. He gave offices to those who
knew not Tammany. He reduced city
salaries fiat s7.ooo,ooo the year. He
did other things altogether contrary
to precedent and politics.
In his early moves, the Mayor kept
we'll on his feet. He has had a rocky
road now and then. but he has not
raller. In his latest reform. however, he
has certainly let his foot slip. In an or
der issued Wednesday, the Mayor di-
rected that arrests under the Sunday
closing law should be left to the state
authorities. The New York police are
to leave the matter strictly alone
They are not, hereafter, to enter sa-
looms in plain clothes and make ar
rests without first obtaining a warrant
They are merely to stay on their beats
to see that the interior of saloons is
not screened on Sunday and secure
such evidence as they can against a
man suspected of Sunday selling.
OF course. Mayor Gaynor had good
70 fpy 1i 10 In
the sentiment of New York, and the
habits of the New York police. and
he acted accordingly. The New York
public will not support the state law
which requires that the bar-keepers
rest on the seventh day, and the New
York police will not enforce the law.
Many of the officers use the law as
a private graft. They find it con-
venient to appear IN the bars on sun
day, when no one else is about. to
exact tribute and then not to pass
the bar again all day. The Mayor
evidently wants to break UP this prac-
tice without running counter to the
sentiment OF the city.
This would. not have been SO seri-
Gus a blunder If there were any
method by which the State authori-
ties could really do what the New
York police will not do. AS it is, the
sixty officers of the New York excise
commission cannot make the rounds
of the saloons in a month of Sum
days, and they may be sure that they
will have no assistance from Gaynor's
police. II is almost certain that the
bars will be left undisturbed. sun
day selling viii practically be legal
lied
Altogether apart from the fact that
this particular law should be upheld
by all good men, Mayor Gaynor's or
der shows a bad spirit. 1t draws the
line between the State and the city
and practically says that the city will
not enforce the law of the State UNI
less it so desires. It hreathes the
spirit that kills the letter of the law
and defeats the ends of the law.
