Democratic Promises Plain.

There is no doubt what our pro.
misses were. They were writ large
in the Baltimore platform. Our first
promise was II tariff for revenue
only, and 60 give the people that, or
as close an approximation thereto
as possible, is the first duty of the
new administration aud of the new
Congress; aud In passing it may be
said and ought to be said, that tariff
reduction which does not reouce the
cost Of living is not worth the paper
on which II Is printed.
Following that we promised to
strengthen the ANTITRUST law; to
establish an income tax; to revise
the banking laws; to improve our
waterways; te provide for "A reason
able conservation system; to create
u department OF labor, which we
have already done, and to declare
the nations purpose touching the
Philippines. II is an extensive pro-
gram, but il is our duty to work 1t
out. The only way to achieve 1t is
for every Democrat in official posi-
ton to give the best there is In him
to help redeem our promises by sub
originating individual ambition to
the public veal.
"That any man fit for official sta
ton will lot his personal likes or dis
likes interfere with his cooperating
with any other Democrat in unity
ing the party in its hercnlean and
multifarious tasks to redeem our
pledge and thereby contributing, as
i believe, to the increased prosperity
and happiness Of the American peo-
pie, is n thing incredible. The sug-
gestion of such q state of affairs
comes from faint hearted Democrats

Latter DaY Archers.

when King Henry hit the center of a
target at distance of 240 yards at the
historic meeting Of the Field of the
Cloth OF Gold, he accomplished feat
not equalled to-day by any of our arch
ers. In fact, he hit the target with ac-
euracy and force eight yards further
than the present American champion
sent an arrow at all in the 1910 tourna-
ment.
"Still, we have some pretty good
records in this country. If Robin Hood
could shoot the wild stag in the forest
every time with his arrow, we have
archers who can pick off squirrels and
rabbits at 25 and 30 yards. A number
of our champion archers have accom-
rlished this feat. Hunting with bow
and arrow has in recent years become
sport that has attracted number of
expert archers. With only the imple-
ments of the chase used by the Indians,
they 90 into the woods and fields and
bring down big and little game.
I'm shooting, Maurice Thompson
was master hand. He could transfx
plover with an arrow at one hundred
yards. He had . record of breaking
thirty-seyen glass balls out of a pos
sble fifty thrown into the air from
trap. At distance of thirty yards he
used to hit lead pencil five times out
of six. He hunted wild game and birds
with his long bow as another man would
with a rife or shotgun. Suburban Life
