elusive home-seekers into the Long
Island section. Families In comfortable
circumstances have been partial 10
homes along the shore front ever since
New York first began to grow and
spread. Such private estaes OF dwellings
are impossible In Manhattan and most
parts OF the Bronx now on account Of
the great population density and the
use OF the land for business or apart
ments.
Long Island seems to Offer the only
territory where large numbers VI fam
lilies can find such exclusive shore front
homes.
From this viewpoint the movement to
Long Island In sure to become very i'm
portant. There must be much COM
petition In the near future for the best
sitss-ln fact, for all good sites, This
means steady. substantial enhancement
in land values.
As the home buyer is seeking Just such
favorable conditions, II Is evident that
Long Island must be considered first
and foremost from the economical side
OF the suburban home building move
ment
Much new optimism on the part OF
Long Island operators Is based upon
the promise that the long looksd-for

sion OF the Long Island itaAlroad will
be completed before New Years. Those
who have been studying the North Shore

TENTATIVE PLATFORM.
Party Is Prepared to Face New
Problems and Declares Against
Recall of Judges and Decisions

Chicago, ILL.,, June i9.-~The resolu.
tions committee this morning began
work on a tentative republican plat
form. In the beginning they re.afiirm
their devotion to constitutional gov
eminent and the rule by the people.
The committee .alo declares for an
independent judiciary, and declare
that no part will be taken by the party
In changing the American form OF gov
eminent. And II further says that the
party is prepared to so before the peo-
pie with solutions for all new prob
lens and pledges the party to be equal
to all demands made upon 1t,
1t says that the party stands ready
at all times TO enact such legislation
as Is necessary to safeguard the pub
lie health and takes firm stand to
protect child labor. AS 10 those who
are engaged in dangerous occupations,
the platform will have Incorporated In
II clause that all laboring men shall
receive a just compensation for their
labor. and they shall also be compen.
which would deprive them of being
able to earn a livelihood.
Regarding the public ownership Of
the natural resources. which are still
public proprty, firm stand viii be
taken for their protection, and that
hereafter the government shall not
give them away TO great corporations
at the expense of the people who
might be able to make purchases and
develop their holdings. As to private
property better protection is guaran-
teed to the holders against those who
would seize II. and cause the owner
loss and Inconvenience
The authority and the integrity Of
the courts are uphefd and Arm
stand is taken against the recall OF
judges or of their decisions, II being
the object OF the committee to place
the party on record to stand by the
courts and their independence.
Worldwide peace is favored. and
the party will be asked TO submit to
the people plank in the platform IA
voring the settlement of all contro-
versies by arbitration, this being the
plan that the leaders of the party most
favor.
Regarding monopolies and special
privileges, the party will go on record
as to opposing both, stating that they
are injurious to the welfare of the
people in general and only help a ia
vored few. An inquiry will be asked
into the high cost of living, az it is
believed that such an inquiry will re-
suit in reaching the true source OF 1t
and profit those who toll daily for sup
port, and be able to save part of their
earnings.
