Needs No Third Party

JUDGE Chase f. Osborn, an ardent Roosevelt supporter
during the Colonels battle for the Republican Presidential
nomination issued a statement in which he declared his belief
that there is no necessity for a new political party He al
so said he hoped that Roosevelt would not be a candidate.
"The issue is clearly joined for the people, said the Gov
ernor. 1T is Wall Street versus Wilson. Woodrow VIII
son s character, temperament. preparation and fitness are above
the high average of American Presidents. He is a christian. a
scholar and a fearless citizen.
''RepubHcans can vote for Wilson without leaving their
party or boiling. The real Republican party has no candidate
for President this year. There has been no nomination. The
action of the political freebOoters at Chicago is not binding mp
on the Republican party even if for the moment they are bear

A Strong Platform

THE platform adopted by the Democratic Convention Ger
tainly rings true. 1t has substance and is not mere sop ike
that issued from Chicago. 1t is in every respect a declaration OF
progressive principles which can be taken as the creed of any
citizen who believes in a strong and responsible administration
of the National government. in the interests of the common PEG
pie. In it are direct and vigorous pledges, and the candidates
elected on it can be held strictly to account for their fulhllment
Take, for instance. the declaration on the tariff, the domln
ant issue of the campaign. Says the platform:
We favor the immediate downward revision of the
existing high, and in many cases prOhibitive tariff du-
ties, insisting that material reduction be speedily made
upon the necessaries of life. Articles entering into
competition with thee trust controlled products, and
articles of American manufacture which are sold
abroad more cheaply than at home should be put up
on the free list. We recognize that our system of tar
if taxation is intimately connected with the business
of the country and we favor the ultimate attainment of
the principles we advocate by legislation that will not
injure r destroy Legitimate industry.
I'm such a declaration there is both a promise of relief and
yet assurance that abuses WILDE corrected without endanger-
ing interests that rest on economic foundations and do not de
pend on governmental favor and privilege granted against the
common veal.

Bill Reviews the Situation

BILL ELLIS, in his Wonder Miner, has the following to
saw regarding the bandana party:
'Mr. ROOsevelt's little Ilivate party will. of course, supply
the comedy part of the coming show. but it is hardly probable
that it will grow to such prop ortions as to have any material ef-
feet on the result. Teddy stayed with the game too long, and
worked too hard while he WAS at it. 1t is one of the laws of
nature that only so much energy can be taken from man o r ma
chine. If you keep a machine going above normal speed it will
do more work while it lasts, but will wear out faster. The pace
at which the Colonel has gone has carried him over a lot of ter
rtory in a short time, but ore cannot expect to keep up racing
speed forever. He had already reached the goal, and it W
foolish for him to keep on r1nning. He wanted more glory
than one man can properly assimilate.
We have been taken to TASK, yes, censured, for running
saloon advertisements, especially on the first page. Our main
reason is for the money that IS paid for the ads. We do not
care anything in particular fer money but our creditors demand
along about the first of every month. This complaint has
given us cause for joy. We are pleased to know that the adver-
tisements are being read.

DWindling

Of the seven Governors who endorsed Colonel Roosevelt
and his third term campaign, only two have stuck to him and
one is Governor johnson of California, which might be selected
by Teddy as a running mate for the next term. If California
could get rid of johnson by this easy method it would be the
lucky strike of the state.

In the midst of recent tragedies one
may pause to think what tragedy
was enacted on April %, 1916, when
Shakespeare died. The exact date of
his birth Is not known. Two chron-
icles of the eighteenth century gave
it as April %, 1864, and as the parish
record shows he was baptized on
April 10 of that year, he may have
been born on the 23d. That has been
accepted by many as the correct date,
and the Shakespeare library founded
at Birmingham. England, in 1864, as a
tercentenary memorial was formally

1868, thus giving local sanction to
that as his birth date. This library

The most obvious way to achieve
the redressing is to choose suitable
chintz and to order loose covers for
all the chairs and sofas, ottomans and
cushions in the room. The favorite
colorings this season give range of
tulip shades, purple, rose red, a deep
buff or scarlet. These have some
times black ground, as in the days
Of Louis Philippe. Huge soft cush-
