THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORMS

III He Democratic convention platform is written in unmis-
Ii taxable terms. 1t is genuinely progressive and in some of
Its propositions radical. AS was expected, there appears
the stock Democratic declaration for q revenue tariff, but with
proper safety appliances. The fact, apparent to all the people,
mat the tanf is the great bulwark of the trusts and is mainly
responsible for the exorbitant prices of the necessaries of life
gives lmpel1ng force to the demand for genuine tariff reductions,
which can be accomplished only when Mr. Taft is retired from
ONCE to make place for a President in sympathy with popular
ideas and needs. The financial plank will appeal to the country.
The banking and currency question is vital. Mr.. Taft is com
mitted to the Aldrich plan of a central bank, which is looked
upon with deep suspicion by the American people. Currency
reform there must be, and that should be the earliest business of
the Congress to be elected this year. The antitrust law must
be strengthened. In the light of the Supreme Court decisions it
is a veritable farce. Our ocean marine languishes. Congress
refuses to adopt "a system Of subsidies and the platform recon-
mends as an alternative the registration of foreign-buit ships.
Limitation of the office of President to one term involves an
amendment to the Constitution. The shameless prostitution Of
the federal patronage by Mr.. Taft to secure his nomination has
been an objectlesson to the nation, and the proposition for a
single term will meet with wide favor. As to an income tax the
judgment of the country is fairly divided, but there is only one
opinion as to such a tax to provide for any great national emer-
gency. The two party platforms, read side by side, present a
contrast by no means favorable to the Chicago PLATFORM
piece of patchwork devised to suit the exigencies of the Taft
candidacy.

THE STRAIN OF THE CONVENTION.

tn NATIONAL nominating convention involves a tremendous
f nervous strain for thousands of people in the convention
hall, as we'll also for hundreds of thousands of others
who as partisans take a deep interest in the proceedings. At
Chicago the effect was noticeable upon the crowds that thronged
the hotels, and particularly the many women. AT Baltimore this
week the feeling was different, but the strain has been great.
The prolonged session of the convention last night, with it's
nerveracking demonstrations, had no parallel at Chicago, and
it had an exhAusting effect upon delegates and spectators. No
doubt not a few people who endured this strain will pay for it
In impaired health.

THE FACTS ABOUT THE MEAT SUPPLY.

NAV HILE the price of meat is steadily soaring and the great
WY corporations keep on trying to make the public believe
that the advance is caused by a falling off in the sup
ply, government figures again come to hand, as they did a month
ago, with a plain tale to put down this mendacious excuse. Re
ports from the bureau of commerce and labor show that food
livestock receipts at the seven principal interior markets dur
ing the five months ending with Day exceeded those of any like
period in the past decade. They were 1~S,37943S head, an In
crease of 8 per cent. over the same five months last year. At
the same time the four leading Atlantic seaports were receiving
1885, $40 head of food livestock, an increase of nearly 10 per
cent. over the January May period of 1911. Last month there
were 800 17O5S9 pounds of meat on hand at the seven interior
ports, which is the largest May stock there is three years. And
the producers during the eleven months ended with May, 1911,
managed to sell to foreign countries 265, 462 head, an increase of
IL per cent. over the exports of the corresponding period a year
before. So that while more live meat has been coming into
market and more being shipped abroad the cost to the American
consumer has been forced up by leaps and bounds. 1t is organ
lied oppression.

So I'm happy all the day.
For there the birds are singing,
And there the children play;
And there the flowers blossom
Upon the summer air,
Just lovelier and sweeter

And down in Sunshine Alley
Love lights the cabin door,
And happy hearts make music
Till they car sing no more;
The world goes sadly wailing
Along the dusty street,
So here in Sunshine Alley
Well dream and find life sweet.

FUDGE WRIGHT, of the Supreme Court of the District of
III Columbia, is one of the jurists engaged in engendering
popular prejudice against courts. 1t is singular that
Just at the time when courts and judges and judicial decisions
are under criticism there should come into unpleasant prOmi-
nence a Commerce Court Judge charged with corrupt practises,
a federal Judge in the West who takes citizenship away from a
man because of his political opinions, and Judge Wright, with
his sentence of a years imprisonment of Samuel Gompers for
alleged contempt of court three years ago. A former decision
by this Judge in the Gompers case was set aside by the United
States Supreme Court, so the sentence now imposed looks like
judicial persecution. The query occurs, would Judge Wright
chow this persistence and severity if he was dealing with some
corporation officer who had exhibited contempt of the court by
destroying discriminating documentary evidence? And that's
the sting of it in the minds of many people.

work on the bathhouse has not yet
been started.
What is the matter with the Public

has it not taken some action in the
