THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

is an interesting political document lt is one of Mir Bryan, stump speeches boiled down slightly Verb. ally. |, IS well expressed. and many of its blanks have real mcri, m them. Some of it> declarations. however. will not stand the light of investigation and do not comport with the facts of economic history
 The leading feature of the plat form is its tariff declaration IL says. "The government. under the constitution. has no right or power to impose or collcc, tariff duties except for revenue"
 Tha, means tariff for revenue only. Talk of tariff for revenue only, with incidental protection. is nonsense England is free trade country The government decided to impose an import tax of 5 cents . barrel on beer A, the same time |, laid an additional internal revenue tax on English beer oi , cents a barrel. That is tariff for revenue only
 The only tariff ever proposed in tbe United States approxima,ing a tariff for revenue only. was the "horizontal' bill proposed mum her of years ago by Morrison, of Illinois, in the carly seventies. pro viding for a tariff tax on all imports of 90 per cent,
 That tax would have destroyed many American industries and would have been prohibitive on many for cign imports. lt would have been ruinous to the country. t
 A tariff for revenue only will never have the supper, of majority of the democrats in congress. Each democratic member. like each re- publican member, wishes the tariff reduced on all articles not produced in his district and raised or, at least, maintained at high rate. on products of his constituents
 General Hitchcock was correct, in measure. when he said the tariff IS "looai issue" h is in the mind of the congressman who is looking after his district alone But to the statesman, |, is great national question having to do with the chief source of revenue to the nation and with the domestic and foreign trade of the whole people l, is intimate ly connected with production and consumption. |, Is necessary part oi the machinery of the government, intricate machinery. talked much about by many and actually under stood by few
 Theoretically. free trade is cor rect, like socialism Where il has been attempted il has left ruin in i,s track. Historically, the high tariff cras m this country have been distinctly prosperous and low tariff eras have been marked by panic or extended financial depression.
 The democratic platform says it IS largely due 10 the tariff that the rich are getting richer and inc poor poorer The statement IS catchy fallacy The rich may be getting richer but the poor are living bet. fer today in the United States than ever before in the history of the world, and better in the United States than in any other country under the sun.

IS|DOR STRAUS IS BURIED
Funeral Conducted Quietly to
Prevent Great 0utpour-
ing of Friends.

NEW YORK, May 9.-The funeral of
IsidOr Stratus, who died in the wreck of
the Titanic, was held at the family resi-
dence, an old frame house at 10Jth street
and Broadway, which is one Of the land
marks of early New York. In order to
avoid a great outpouring of the many
friends and admirers of the late merchant
and philanthropist, no publicity had been
given to the fact that the funeral was to
take place, and only the members of the
Straus family attended. The services
were conducted by the Rev. DIR. Samuel
Schulman. rabbi of Temple Bethel, 9th
avenue and 10th street, according to the
simple but impressive Hebrew ritual The
interment was in the Bethel cemetery on
Fresh Pond road, Long Island.
1t was explained at the Straus home
that the funeral had been delayed in the
hope that the body of Mrs. Straus, who
went to death with her husband on the
Titanic, might be found, and a double
funeral be held. The entire lower floor
of the Straus home was banked with
floral pieces sent by friends and business
associates of the dead man.
An impressive public civic memorial
meeting for Mr.. and Mrs Straus will be
held at Carnegie Hall Sunday afternoon
at o'clock, at which Mayor Gaynor will
be the honorary chairman and Justice
Samuel Greenbaum, president of the
Council of Jewish Communal Institutions
will preside.

SEEK INJUNCTION ! TOSTOP PHONE DEAL Directed Against Peoples
 and Bell Companies IN THE CITY COURT Will Come Up for Hearing Before Judge Sharpe April 22-Con-
 spiracy Between the Two
 Companies Is Alleged
 
IN THE CITY COURT

Alleging that a conspiracy was entered into by the officials of the Southern Bell Telephone company and the Peoples Home | Telephone company to evade the consti- tuition of the state of Alabama, the fed eral statutes and the municipal laws of the state, and that through fraudulent system of bookkeeping the city commis- | sioners were induced to consent to the surrender of the franchise of the Peoples ! Home company also to annul it's contract with the city and to sell it's physical as- sets. T. A. Davenport through his attor- neys, Thompson x Thompson, has filed q petition in the city court of Birmingham asking that a temporary injunction be is sued against the two telephone companies restraining them from forming a consoli- dation.
 The petition alleges that the two com panies have conspired with each other, through their officials and representatives, to circumvent the law and to make it appear to the public that a legal consoli- dation has been formed. The charge is made that the two companies have en- tered into a contract whereby the Peoples Home company has agreed to sell it's phy- sical assets to the Southern Bell company for the sum of $500,o0o and allege that the sum is now on deposit in Birmingham In the hands of trustees.
 It is further charged that the physical assets of the Peoples company are with out value. and that the Southern Bell company has purchased at an enormous cost lot of junk and secondhand tele- phone material which is almost worthless to the purchasing company The petition further recites that in order to secure the consent of the city commissioners the Peoples Home company employed a frau dulent system of bookkeeping in which enormous and unreasonable sums' were were charged up to depreciation and other expenses. and that this was done prior to the inspection of the books by the city commissioners.
 The case will come up for a hearing be- fore Judge H. A. Sharpe of the city court on Monday, April p. The style of the case is T. A. Davenport vs. the Peoples Home Telephone company and the South ern Bell Telephone and Telegraph com pany.
 It will be recalled that few weeks ago the Peoples Home Telephone company filed a petition with the city commission CTS requesting permission to surrender it's franchises and to have it's contract with the city annulied. also that the com pany be allowed to sell it's physical assets, on the grounds that the company was q financial failure and that to further con- tinue in business a raise in the rates charged the subscribers would be neces- sary to further continue in business. The city commissioners before acting on the petition employed Expert Accountant Simpson to audit the books of the seompany to ascertain if the statements made by the company were correct MT. Simpson reported that the books of the company showed that the statements made were correct and the petition was granted.

 training in which Is very nearly ths
 ultima Thule of the music lovers edu-
 cation. At the present rate of progress
 the children ought to reach this stage
 of music culture in five years"
 Any child can be taught to sing"
 said MT. F. L. Coburn, supervisor Of
 music If the teacher will simply play or sing the strain often enough in com pany with him. That Is the basic prin- ciple on which we work-the child is
 started to singing by singing to him, not by making him learn the scale l'ln the end technique comes to him cas- fly. almost unconsciously. with the re- suit that the new method of teaching singing by singing actually develops more sight readers of music than did
 the old method of teaching singing by practicing the scale"
 The work which is being done in music in the St. Louis schools may he regarded as of wide imp rtance' said James c. Boykin, the editor of the United States bureau of education, yes terday "by reason of the fact that it is a conspicuous example of the truth
 that the potentiol musical ability of the American people is practically as great as is that of any other nation, requiring nothing more than training
 to bring it out The absence of a gen eral forward movement in musical ed
 iication among the schools Of this coun- try has been a matter of concern to this
 bureau, which therefore welcomes all the more cordially the excellent work done in the St Louis schools That the arts directed to the ear make deep CT emotional appeal than do those di- rected solely to the eye can hardly be
 questioned and there is no disputing the conclusion that our children must
 be trained at a fully rounded ma turity."
