THE NEWLANDs PLATFORM

Senator Newlands, Of Nevada, has be-
fore now fattered himself that he knew
how to solve the race problem. So the
report that in draft Of a platform TO
he submitted to the Baltimore conven-
ton he has incorporated a demand for
a constitutional amendment disfran-
chislng all but white persons will cause
no surprise. Two or three years ago he
went TO Hampton Institute, where q
vast work is going on to fit cOlored
men and women to be productive and
worthy citizens Of this country, and told
the students that the thing for the
negroes to do was to emigrate. Their
hope lay IN going away from the land
where they owned farms and were in
creasing I'm wealth, and where their
labor was the mainstay Of great indus
tries In which white men have millions
Of dollars invested. His polite sugSes-
ton was answered by negro with D
directness and humor which seriously
diminished the reverence Of the cOlored
students for the craftsmanship dwelling
in the United States Senate. Mr.. New
lands's latest happy thought on the mo-
mentous question is likely to diminish
the reverence Of his Democratic col
leagues for his political wisdom.
Nothing could please their opponents
better than the adoption Of such Il plank
by the Baltimore convention. For the
Democratic party To come before the
people as n new Know-Nothing party
would be most suspicious. Mr. New
lands's proposal goes beyond the mere
elimination Of negro voters in the South.
Ii cOntemplates the constitutional re.
striction Of immigration to white per-
sons and the erection Of ruling class
IN place Of our democratic government
Of all the people by all the people. AIr.
Newlands II he cannot expel all the
colOred persons from this country.
which he believes belongs exclusively
10 white men, means at least to relieve
the whites from all competition in run.
ming il Doubtless lie will find much
sympathy among the more reactionary

Sir: In the half century Of my reading
OF The Tribune 7 have never had more
reason 70 congratulate and praise tho Jour
nal than do now upon It's new department
so well named Work for Humanity"
Successful It must be, for It will aid d.
rectly IN arouslng the public conscience oy
supplying such a reliable centre OF informa-
ton on social questions.
And lust here may ask OF some Of your
trade union readers why tho International
Union OF Brewery Workmen Of America
rejected last May by an overwhelming vote
the proposal OF the employers for prac-
teal workmens compensation and old age
pension7 Was It a suspicion Of their em-
ployers. or belief that the plan would
tend to weaken the hghting spirit and de-
termined class anlmosIty OF the union TO
which they belonged, and so make 1t moro
difficult 10 declare a strike, as such a move
would mean tho forfeiture Of tho old age
rensIons7
Why. I wonder could they bs willing 10

one IN eight OF their number could, II IN
jured, actually collect a claim2 II the
reason is as I stated. then these workers
in the brewerieS are as reckless and I'M
reasonable as those trade unionists in Lon
don who persist in breaking ZIP profit shar-
ing schemes such as has made the gas
workers in South London the most con-

lengths to which devotion TO the cause

it might he supposed that there would

TRUST AND CRIMINAL LAW.

The decision Of the so-called beef trust
TO reorganize in accordance with the
Sherman antitrust law only q little
while after the government failed TO
convict the packers Of maintaining an
illegal combination is another example
Of how much more effective Ia the civil
than the criminal proceeding against
trusts. Having been beaten in a criminal
action the government started a civil one,
and the voluntary reorganization follows
at once.
The weakness Of the criminal proceed
ing is probably not merely due to the
hesitation Of juries to convict on the
ground Of their sympathy with comb.
nation in business, but TO the weakness
Of the criminal trial system itself 1t
is hard to convict of any crime under the
law as it is to-day, with every advantage
the criminal has as against the state It
Is especially hard TO convict where the
issue Is complex and the evidence Is In

4 SH1BRY RETURN

Mr. Tricks withdrawal Of his o1er 10
reconstruct the Lenox Library building
IN Central Park was natura ana 10 DE
eynected. The role Of a public bene'
"a ctor Is hard. For entertaining the In
nocent purpose OF giving the city Dig
nifjed administration building In central
Park and of preserving worthy arcni-
tectural monument Mr.. Frick was re-
paid with irrational condemnation OF the
plan and here and there with lntlma-
tions that the motives Of his proposal
we're hidden and improper. Doubtless
he WAS glad to withdraw his offer be-
fore the inslnuations against 1t were
magnifed into the charge that he enter
tanned designs against the whole park
area. Wonder is sometimes expressed
that the benefactions Of rich men seldom
take the form of giving public buildings
to this CITY,. Probably the wealthy re-
frain from a natural desire not to be
written down as public enemies.
A great victory has been won. In
stead of the Lenox Library building In
the park the shabby and unsuitable Ar
senal. with its discreditable surround
ings, remains. Not an inch less park
space is given up to buildings. And
since an administration building In the
park is a practical necessity this one Is
likely to remain until the city builds
another in the park TO replace It.
