THE K

ID LATFORMS must have a meaning this year. The Chicago
liz platform, written by a coterie of men known to be
hostile to the progressive principles in government, is
nnmeaning. 1t fell fiat in the convention and is popularity re-
garded as a mere mess of insincere words. Interpreted by Mr..
Taft and the men who surround him and influence him the plat.
form can be tortured into any shape after election, as was the
case with the platform of 1908. That declaration promised tariff
revision and Mr.. Taft in his campaign said it meant revision
downward. He was not contradcted That promise was given
to the people by hundreds of Republican campaign speakers.
And how did Mr.. Taft and a Republican Congress interpret the
tariff plank after the election? The Payne.Aldrich tariff law
bears witness. Mr.. Taft cheated the people not only as to the
tariff, but also by falsifying other platform promises, including
conservation. Can he or his supporters be trusted to carry out
any platform pledge? And it is little enough that the men in
control at Chicago conceded to the people, and there is a string
attached to everything. The Democratic national platform is
bound to be in harmony with the new spirit that has been
created in this country. The genius of the Democracy, anyhow,
looks to progress and the welfare of the masses. A platform at
Baltimore in any respect reactionary is unthinkable. And II
should be one consistent with the highest craftsmanship and
therefore free from class appeal and visionary ideas that the
mere politician would favor for the sake of catching votes.

OUR POLITICS AS VIEWED ABROAD.

oT HE comments by the leading European newspapers on
political events in the United States are amusing in their
Grass ignorance and bumptous assertion. The London
newspapers agree that Roosevelt has been eliminated as a factor
in Republican politics, and they accept the nomination of Taft
as the verdict of the Republican party. The German newspapers,
obivious of what exists in German politics, see in recent poiti-
cal events in the United States all the evidence of decadence.
French newspapers comment in their usual patronizing way.
The European editor has been talking in a similar strain for
many years. He finds it a means of escape from the contempla,
ton of political and social conditions at home, And he doesn't
want to be better informed. Iii S more convenient and satisfac-
tory to believe that democratic government in this country is a
failure and is at the point of breaking down, A political con.
vention fight in the United States has for him more sinister
significance than millions of disconnected Socialists threatening
an upheayal of Germany or a vast organized revolt of labor in
England, with social conditions in both countries that keep the
governing classes ever on the edge of apprehension.

THE LOGIC OF A THIRD PARTY.

N THIRD party nomination of Roosevelt is inevitable. 1t
IN is the logical outcome of the Chicago convention. That
the majority which renominated Taft and Sherman was
a fraudulent one cannot be gainsaid. The seating of the Taft
claimants from Washington, Texas and California who did not
have the shadow of a claim to convention seats was so fragrant
that even Taft newspapers made faint protest. Mr.. Taft was
not the nominee of the Republican voters of the country, and
his acceptance of the nomination under such conditions makes
his candidacy offensive even to thousands of party voters who
supported him in the primaries. And they have good reason
to fear the damaging effect upon his candidacy of Democratic
campaign criticism. In fact, no Republican voter possessed of
common sense can be made to believe that Taft has the ghost
of a show for election in November. What, then, shall the
honest Republican do? Shall he consent to Taft under such
abhorrent circumstances and to defeat and party ruin, or shall
he turn in with other cheated Republicans and nominate a can
didate of his choice and of the choice of the great majority
of his party? Is there any other course open to him but sub
mission to a great wrong and it's inevitable consequences?

Simple Closing Exercises.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
The abolition of an old-time prac-
tise. that of giving flowers and gifts
to graduates at the time of the gradu-
alton exercises, is a step in the right
direction. For a long time this was
a hard thing for some people to
understand. Why shouldn't they
give their friends flowers upon the
stage? l remember when l was a
boy and graduating exercises were
held thai flowers were sent to some
of the weather. boys and also to
some of the boys whose parents could
i'll afford the money, but to keep their
boy up with the others. Some who
didn't receive any flowers felt hurt
and nourished that feeling for a long
time after. The giving of flowers in
most schools has now been forbid
den. Another good idea was re-

slve gown was cut out and simpler

A DISCLOSURE OF WILSON'S WEAKNESS.

TA HE vote on temporary chairman at Baltimore served as a
i test of the Wilson strength in the convention, as Wilson
was the only candidate to side with Mr.. Bryan in his
opposition TO Judge Parker for temporary chairman. Mr..
hryan's personal influence explains most of the vote for him
against Parker, and among his supporters were many Clark dele.
gates. If Wilson had possessed strength in the convention his
attitude would have brought enough support to Bryan to give
him the majority. But it served to repel support. AS a tactical
move, therefore, Wilson's act was maladroit. sit disclosed his
weakness and tended TO ALLEVIATE delegates who might be dis
posed to favor his candidacy, In the sober judgment of the best
Informed Democratic leaders Wilson has never had a chance of
getting the nomination, and this disclosure of the littleness of
his prospects is not as much a surprise to them asst is a morti.

when the passaic Was Clean.

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
1 noticed while reading the Morn
ing Star hat a regatta was to be
held on the Hackensack river July
4. What a boon it would be to New
ark if the Passaic river were clean
and regattas could be held there. It's
a shame hal the people have to
stand for such a condition. No city
with n civic pride would allow it.
The river could be made n of the
beauty spots of Newark and a thing
that would be of much benefit to the
residents of this city.
1t is not a hundred years since the
Passaic was a clean, unpolluted
stream of water, on which number
less regattas were held. Along the
banks of the river crowds were lined,
who watched the races with interest
and considered them the greatest
sporting events of the year.
Times have changed since then. No
more do people line the banks of the
nee beautiful stream. but rather
they avoid 1t at every chance. Slime,
mud and filth fill the river. Soon we
may expect to see the old times re-
sumed. Boats will then receive a
coat of pant. which their owners
wisely would not give them now.

THE WOMAN nv POLITICS.

m REMARKABLE feature of the presidential contest this
f year is the presence of many women at the national
conventions and their active and aggressive interest in
The candidates.. At Chicago last week onehalf of the spectators
n the vast Coliseum building were w~elldressed women, many
IF them handsomely gowned, and they were all strong parhsans.
The hotel headquarters of the rival factions and the corridors
md Hobbies of the hotels were thronged with eager women day
md night and far into the night, and they furnished most of the
excitement. At Baltimor this week the same feminine interest
5 displayed. And only a small percentage Of these women rep
'esent the suffragette cause. 1t is certainly not an unwholesome
sign that intelligent women should interest themselves in the
great political issues of the day And perhaps what is most
needed in American politics is the female mind and heart.
