are discussing this question. A full state
ticket Is to be elected this year and a
/ legislature chosen which in turn will
choose a United States senator. The state
committee has ordered a primary, but,
as matters stand, there is no provision
| for a platform.
Many democrats are complaining. They
fear for their party's chances in No
vember II 1t does not go into the cam
paign with some authoritative statement
and promise of what shall follow demo-
cratic success. The party in state mat
tiers has not had platform for a decade,
and there is much doubt at this time as
| to just where on local questions 1t is lat.
What does democracy today mean as re-
spects issues of the greatest state mo-
ment?
The point is we'll taken. Platforms, it
is true, have been ignored after success
has been achieved on the strength Of
them. State legislatures and Congress
have often so erred. Neither the Denver
platform nor the Chicago platform held
men to the scratch when the Dingley
tariff law was under revision two years
ago. Many democratic senators and rep
resentatives voted against both the letter
and the spirit of the Denver deliver nce.
while the republicans failed with the re-
demption Of the Chicago platform to such
an extent that they lost last November's
elections by heavy majorities.
Still. party should go into action rep
resenting something as party. and
pledged to it, Such, indeed, must con-
tinue the practice il We are to have gov
eminent by parties. The primary is not
intended to weaken or dispense with
party rule. but rather to strengthen it, by
encouraging voters to take sides and be-
come active on the side they do take.
BY some means, therefore. the primary
should be made to carry party deliver
ances, committing candidates to policies,
and enabling voters to express not only
their preferences as to men, but as to
measures. and leaving nothing t@ chance,
or as little as possible.

Needs of the National Guard.
rom the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
In regard to the need of filling up our
national guard regiments to their full
quota, which is now one of the most i'm
pOrtant and pressing duties of the state
administration, and about which many
officers Of the state military service are
busying themselves, there is no good rea-
son for encouragement 1t is not ar
unmixed evil that the national guard
regiments and detached companies are lie
longer looked upon by young men as de-
sirable social clubs. The social side OF
active militia work once served fairly
good purpose, but the national guard has
been growing greatly in efficiency as al
arm of defense. and it is we'll that re.
cruits should look upon militia duty a.
soldering, a serious business in the serv-
ice of the state, rather than as a means
for social intercourse and increasing ac-
Quaintances.

Frightening the Suburbs.

Ballston, Va. is to have a cleanup
campaign. This fact appeared in the
general news in The Star, and contains
suggestion that should be Of value to
all the other suburbs of Washington.
Cleanup should not be taken to mean
literally cleaning up. Its meaning
should be broader-it should mean tidying
up, Frightening up, painting up and all
that goes toward making village ap-
near homelike, happy, healthy and pros
porous.
Pride Of home is strong in the Capital
suburbs. and the result of this is that
many of them are beautiful places A
village can be beautiful though the viii
layers may not be rich. Good taste and
an eye for beauty are not confined to
the rich. Every suburb has it in it's
power to be charming. 1t may be neces-
sary that the villagers take off their
coats. but the results would be worth
the labor.

Old and New Style Diplomacy.

At an earlier day, in some countries, a
diplomat, after such an experience as
Baron Uchida had yesterday, would have
been filled with apprehension. He would
have seen red, and have cabled red to his
home government. After responding to
an invitation from the highest official Of
the government to which he was accred-
tied. and listening to assurances Of peace
and good will from that official he would
have returned to his residence we'll con-
WINGED that something was UP, and his
government would do we'll to have a care
AT this day. in this country, things are
different. Baron Uchida, we may all be
sure, does not question in the slightest
the assurances he has received by word
OF mouth from President Taft, but COM
municates them confidently to Toxic. He
knows the man, has observed his course
as an official, and is informed about the
best sentiment in America toward his
country. There is every reason why the
Japanese ambassador should put implicit
faith. as doubtless he does, in what he
has heard from the Presidents own lips.
This is specimen of what at one time
was called, in spirit of derision, shirt
sleeve Misunderstanding unconven-
tionai, everyday. and neighborly. The
PRESIDENT dealt with Baron Uchida as he
would have done with a citizen of the
country about matter carrying the
seeds of mischief. He wanted no misun-
derstanding on subject proving attract
i've to sensationalists. and took a frank
ana open way of preventing possible
trouble.
The suggestion from an American edu-
Gator now residing in Japan that yellow
10 CHI
venting or publishing yarns calculated
to set friendly governments by the ears
is not happy, and will not come to any
thing Such law would encounter, in
any effort to enforce it, thousand diff
culties. and trench dangerously on the
freedom of the press as a principle
Besides, it is we'll to remember that the
leading offenders i'm this matter of Amer
lea and Japan are not yellow newspapers.
but yellow politicians, so to say, speaking
under the immunity of office, and yellow
travellers, speaking or writing under the
profession of doing a public service
Whether taking our side or Japan's, they
claim not to be melting war, but warning
against preparations for war by the other
fellow.
Yellow newspapers are not to be de-
tended on this score, or any other. out
they are not as influential as is assumed
In some quarters. All they say and do
~ constantly under suspicion and dis
count i'll influential circles. Where there
" basis of fact, their exaggerations are
easily detected, and where they are using
an invention outright they are rarely
sklllful enough to impose upon any but
yellow readers. But the yellow politician
and the yellow traveller are q more dan
Serous and non-getatable proposition.
