 Yuma has taken on the racing fever and all that is heard on the streets now is the coming road races, and there are two of them, one from San Diego with P entries, and one from Los Angeles with similar number of entries.
 Yuma business men are now plan ming decorations for their stores.
 The Los Angeles racers are coming over the new road by way of Banning, and may be described as pioneer trail blazers. They have the worst road and the greatest distance to travel be- fore reaching Yuma.
 Because San Diego is nearer to Yu- ma and the racers will reach here early Sunday, not less than two hours ahead of the speeders in the other race, Yumaites are mostly interested in the San Diego race.
 A wire today from San Diego today says that San Diego takes first rank with any city in the country in regard to fostering automobile road racing, for with twenty-two entries in the San Diego-to-Phoenix 400-mile race of next Saturday night this speed contest un- ioubtedly has the distinction of hav-

Dave Williams, is just back from Yuma, says the Valley Press, having made the trip over the Holtville road and back by way of the Mammoth Wash road, and he says the Holtville route is three or four hours shorter than the other and predicts a great winning for San Diego, in its contest with Los Angeles, if the Los Angeles people do not amend their plans to go by way of Holtville.
 While in Yuma arrangements were made with H. T. Riley, a livery man, to post signs for 100 miles east of Yuma on the Phoenix road, and 25 miles west from that town. Holtville

! "A PLATFORM soLiLooUY" { ay Peter Clark MacFarlane io ooooooooooo oooo

The platforms are the issues in this campaign. thought at first it was the csndtdstes When President Taft was renOmtnated at Chicago, I turned to WHson. He was progressive in many q his utterances.. He was clean and nns and strong. But the Democratic platform gave me pause. It takes up arms against a sea of troubles, but mostly with ancient weapons. In its main structure 1t Is archaic. It's funda. ke1fn sayor of that day when our big couatry was an agricultural Democra- eJ, when there was no jostling of Soms of our citizens by others of our rktiaeaa Then there was room. Men ee&ght % where they would and there was no danger that they would and there was DO danger that they should tread on one another's corns or get in joos snOther's sunlight. This country ;0eeded little law then, save the law of the open road. And in its founda- ten principles this Democratic plat form belongs to that age. Still, as I pendered, it gave signs of life. There were blanks that gave evidence of be- ing hewn amid twentieth century con- ditions for twentieth century strains, but each was fatally weakened by be- tng nailed into this old sub-structure that would never again support the weight which modern industrial condi- tions fling upcn it. What matters the good root on the barn if the foundation collapses? So I laid down the Balti- more platform with misgivings.
 St1u there was another chance. MT Woodrow Wilson was himself a pro- gressive. His speech of acceptance would rebuild the platform of this par ty. no doubt I put my hope there. But when that speech came 1t was a disappointment It did not construct the platform. It only painted it. The one place that speech of acceptance .sApped any new underpining into the platform was in one of those archaic parts where already there was too mach timber. This was the tariff plank I believe in tariff reduction; but do not believe in tariff destruc- ton. l cannot think that revenue re duottons will cure all our ills. It savors of the wiRdow.smashing rem edy-no, of quackery! To say that the cutting of the tariff will cure the high cost of living and the trusts. and put .sur merchant marine back upon the sea, when I can look out upon the world. and see the cost of living climb ing everywhere with trusts growing

will put signs eastward from that town to meet the Yuma signs.
 In commenting on the road, Dave Williams calls attention to the fact that the opening of the Holtville road has cut the distance by 59 miles, the distances being as follows:
 Los Angeles to Yuma, via Salton Sea and Mammoth Wash, 36O miles.
 Los Angeles to Yuma, via San Di- ego and Mammoth Wash, S66 miles.
 Los Angeles to Yuma, via San Di- ego and Holtville, BOT miles.
 San Diego to Yuma, via Mammoth Wash, 24O miles.
 San Diego to Yuma, via Holtville, 1S1 miles.

WHcTo IHeT0 are 0O taTlIIS, ana Wtl
 countries who have builded high tariff
 walls themselves Haunting the flags oi their merchant ships where once the
 wakes of our own vessels were shining
 ito say this. 1t seems to me, is to fly
 in the face of that sort of sense called
 common.
 I begin to see that there is shallow
 thinking in this painted platform, And
 l am disappointed, because surface
 thinking will not meet the crisis which Iconfronts the American voter and the American nation today. Surface-think-
 ing will not penetrate the center of our present day complexities. Ancient
 charms will not emancipate our work
 CTS from conditions that are unfair and unjust. Quack remedies will not cure the new diseases that afflict us, the pellagras and hook-worms that were unknown problems to the political economists of that day which evolved the tariff-for-reVenue only. These are |searchlight days. We cannot entrust our political fortunes to men who peer about with the lanterns of leaders who were going to their graves when our fathers were being born.
 And, besides-the tariff!
 That we have permitted ills to flour ish behind it; that We have allowed combinations of capital to get the bet ter part of the advantage 1t secures, it not an argument against the tariff but against our own folly. It admits the tariff is an advantage. Surely the next move is to see that the right folk get the advantage, not that the adyan- tage is destroyed. To burn the barn to kill the rats were made enterprise. Rather, think We should set traps for the rats-reach out bare, determined hands and grip the necks of the com- binatiOns that wrong us and right them. sTo administer a hurt of tar iff-smashing fashion, is, fear, to ad- minister a greater hurt to ourselves and it is pounding the backs of the common man a very great deal IoI pound the back of the monopolist a very little. It is stabbing through the breast of the worker to prick the profit-taker at his back. To break down the walls to the flood of Euro pean manufacturers might be hard upon some of the monopolists; but 1t might be harder upon us. could take no satisfaction in cutting off my nose to trim the beard of a pirate-no grim joy in separating thirty per cent of American workmen from wage-paying jobs to separate a few trusts from il- legal dividends. I would be the more concerned to keep the wheels turning and the wage envelopes filling. while direct assault was made upon the un- just profit and the unfair division of profits. Curbing the trusts by cutting the tariff might be like one of those hospital reports which records that the operation was successful, but the patient died.
 But you urge, the tariff Is too high! Then reduce it-flatly-frankly-di- rectly-drastically, REDUCE IT! But I would not at the same time take the PROTECTIVE PRINCIPLE out of the tariff. That principle has built up our manufactures. It has multiplied jobs and wages for our city-folk-I which means multiplied markets at the very gates of the farm, and multi

LAWYER IN COURT CONTEMPT

The attempt of A. L. Brougham. coun-
sci for Elizabeth N. Natsch. to sue the
Oceanic Steamship Navigation Company
in the Supreme Court for $4,000 damages
on the loss of life of Mr.. Natsch I'm the
Titanic disaster, has brought him into
contempt OF court. Judge Hough, OF the
United States District Court, in an order
issued yesterday, declared that Mr.
Brougham's excuse that he did not read
the papers handed to him enjoining all
parties from instituting actions resulting
from the Titanic disaster in any other
court was no excuse. Judge Hough de-
clared Mr. Brougham in contempt, from
which he might purge himself by tender
ing consent to the discontinuance of
the action of Mrs. Natsch within one
week.
Judge Hough also denied the motions
made by claimants who sought modifi-
cation Of the motion granted in the limi-
tation proceedings brought by the Oceanic
Navigation Company as owner of the
White Star Line. These motions were
made to bring the suit for damages to
trial before a jury, instead of having to
prove the claims before Alexander Gil
christ, jr., United States Commissioner,
before January IA, 1913

OPPOSES BUSH PURCHASE
Board of Trade Report Says
CITY Takes All the Risk.

The New York Board OF TRADE ana
TRANSPORTATION, at a meeting yesterday
adopted the report of it's committee
on waterfront improvements protesting
against the proposed purchase by the city
of the property of the Bush Terminal
COMPANY, I'm Brooklyn. The committee
gave among other reasons for Its opposi-
ton the fact that the city Is asked 10
bind Itself not to let any pier or bulk
head TO any railroad company during ire
term of the lease, and every raliroa1
company using the South Brooklyn water
front would have to sublet from the Bush
Terminal Company for twenty-five years
The report maintains that the city takes
all the risk and the Bush company no
risk whatever; that the arrangement
would fix debt upon the city contrary
TO law, and would lower the actual debt
limit OF the city. AS a final argument
the report calls attention to the clause
which makes the lease null and void upon
the default of the Bush company to pay
the city. This, according to the report,
permits the Bush company to retire at
any time while the city Is held for
twenty-five years.
The committee also submitted a report
opposing the contemplated operation by
the city Of several freight terminals on
the waterfront.

THIRD PARTY LOSES VOTES
Kings Canvassers Give Credit
to independence League.

The prediction of advisers of Oscar 5.
Straus that his acceptance of the hide
pendence League Endorsement would
make trouble for the Progressive party Is
more than being fulfilled in Kings Coun-
ty, where the official Board of Canvassers
is now taking the vote. Finding that no
provision was made on the official can
vass sheet for those who recorded their
preference under the Bull Moose emblem,
the board is busily crediting the Straus
assets in the Independence League col
umn.
If the decision of the canvassers wealth
ers a legal inquiry the PrOgressives in
Kings County alone will lose some 5000
votes which were cast for Mr.. Straus
Since a party does not acquire standing
as such in New York State until II can
show 10000 votes the action Of the Kings
County Canvassers and that which may
be taken in other counties where the
conditions are similar suggest that the
Progressives may fail of acquiring legal
standing.

On this Point the Mayor said:
