THE MUTILATioN OF RoosE'
VELT'S PLATFORM,


It has now leaked out that the plat
form adopted by the progressives at
Chicago was mutilated and radically
changed by Oscar King Davis, press
agent of the progressive national
committee.
The platform as originally adopted
by the committee on platform and
published in the early editions
or the Chicago newspapers contain
ed the following admirable plank:
I'VE favor Strengthening the sher-
man law by prohibiting agreements
to divide territory or limit output;
refusing to sell to customers who buy
from business rivals; to sell below
cost in certain areas while maintain
ing higher prices in other places;
using the power Of transportation to-
aid or injure special business con-
Germs. and other unfair trade pract1c-
esq
This plank struck boldly at the i'm
moral and unjust practices Of the
trusts, and just how it came to be
..killed" in some unauthorized man
ner and another long statement In
serted in its stead may never be
made public. It was a. bold piece
piece of slight Of hand jugglery,
but Roosevelt was carrying such
load of trust support that he
could not, or at least did not open
" object. He went on, however, max
ing speeches just the same as though
the blanks of his platform had not
been changed.
Mr.. Davis admits that he went to
the offices of the Associated Press
and other press associations and had
the platform Corrected, but he does
not say who authorized him to kill"
out of the platform the plank quoted
above, and substitute the long plank
pledging the federal government to
cooperate with the trusts, and COM
mending large business combinations.
Who commanded or empowered Mr..
Davis to change these planks? In
the absence of positive proof, it Is
fair to assume that the "invisible
government that wrecked the TAFT
administration stood in the shadow
of the progressive convention at CHI
cago and was sufficiently powerful
to not alone nulify but to reverse the
most important part Of its work.
Is it not fair to assume that the
''malefactors Of great wealth, who
largely financed Mr.. Roosevelt's cam
paign, know all about how these
changes came to be made?

Political architects ere now COM
ing forward with plans and spec1fi-
cations for the rebuilding Of the re
publican party. These architects
should keep in mind the terrible fall
ure which followed the attempt to
make this country half slave and
half free. The attempt to recon
struct the republican party half con-
sentative and half progressive would
be productive of endless political
strife. l-.a 4'..-. r

The democratic party has worked
for more than twenty years for an IN
come tax law, and is justly entitled
to any party benefits which will arise
from its enactment. An income tax
will oblige the rich to pay a part OF
the expenses of the government, and
will be long step toward justice
and right.

dition Is Serious.

ATLANTA. Ca, Jan. 19.-Although
restored to freedom by President
Taft's Communication OF his fifteen year
sentence. Chas. w. Morse. the convict
ed New York banker, is today still at
the army hospital at Fort Mcpherson.
His condition Is SO serious that he can.
not be removed to a private sanitar.
ium for at least ten days.
Until then he will continue in the
same surroundings as when he was
still convict.
Mrs. Morse will arrive here late this
afternoon from Washington. She start
ed for Atlanta last night Immediately
after hearing that the president had
commuted her husbands sentence.
Although Mrs. Morse IL planning to
take her husband to Carlsbad in the
hope that the trip abroad will restore
his health II is doubted whether Morse
will ever leave Georgia alive. He is suf
fering from three diseases. regarded
as incurable. and the end may come at
any time. On the other hand 1t Is said
he may live 10 years.
The Communication Of his sentence
gives Morse only the right to liberty
1t does not restore his civic rights.
President Taft refused to pardon the
baker. and It was impossible to parole
him as he had served only two years
OF his Is years sentence. Morse could
not be paroled until he had served Ave
years.
