The DEMOCRATIC MILLENNIUM

/ The Democratic platform reads
more like the essay ora school boz
on the millennium than the pronounce
ment ia political party. It is made
|ur OF meaningless, high.soundine
phrases and obscure twaddle, punctu
ated by hypocracy and written ON the
tscroll Of insincerity to be repudiated
at the FIRST opportunity.
I In, the beginning 1t congratnlates
itself on the fact that there is, no
power on earth greater than the PEG.
Pies will, It then proceeds to send
greetings to Woodrow Wilson ate,
(which It copies or declares for all the
geod and wholesome Legislation prom,
ised by the Republican platform, such
as Q primary election law, a registrai
ton law, equal taxation, regulation
OF railroads, ETC., and pledges Itself to
the platform Of DR.. Hatfield by adyo-
eating the working. OF conylcts on the
State highways. To- show, the .abso=
Lutte insineerity Of the promises made
one instance need only be cited and
, that is its promise, to ratify, the
amendment to. the federal constitu.
ton fayoring an income tax. On this
point the platform reads. as follows.
Whereas the + Legislature 5ot b this
Estate has failed, to ratify, the, amend
nient to. the federal constitution, pro.
lyidlng for an income tax, we depre.
cate, such action and we demand that
lat Its next session It reconsider its
former action and ratify same. It
failed to state that It was a Demo-
l.Gratica legislature whose action it dep
reeates and that 1t was the Democrats
who blocked the ratification Of this
flaw. II failed to recall the fact that
Samuel v. Woods. Democratic floor
leader in the Senate, made the. speech
| that killed, this Bill. n io,tf.s:
There is no limit to the promises
made in this 1912 panacea and what
reason have we to believe that the
Democratic party awill, II given power,
not repudiate every other promise as
II has the one fayoring an income tax?
Do we want to give them the oppor.
tunity to give US the second deprecas
tory eplstle in the next compaign? !
Going further in the 'fulsomeness OF
the plausible promises We want to
quote "a, few other resonant sentences
for your csnsideration. Here are
only few things the Democrats pro-
fess to favor. Listen: I'VE favor the
enactment OF fair and Just compen-
sation act. We favor education,
health. the preservation OF our ma
tional resources, the utmost humane
treatment to those unable to care for
themselves. the prevention, Of conta.
gion and disease, the. health and care
Of children, the prevention Of small
children. (no concern is expressed for
the larger ones), from working In dan,
gerous and unhealthy occupations,

which demand the highest and great,

About Tea.

A good tea may be made bad tea,
but a bad tea cannot be made good
tea, says the Lancet, except perhaps
by very skilful blending. Excessive
infusion will spoil good tea, but
even a short infusion of a bad tea
may be as Objectionable as an Excess
sive infusion of good tea. On physi-
illogical grounds, therefore, the con-
sumer of high quality teas runs less
risk of digestive disturbance, provided
the tea Is made properly.
