Democrats everywhere and with
patriotic men of all parties, we look
with the deepest satisfaction and
qualification upon the rapid and
statesmanlike translation of the plat
form promises of 1912 into definite
law and policy, and rejoice that
new standard of faith with the people
has been set up and new standpoint
namely the welfare of the common,
average man-adopted in the admin
istratiUn of the national government.
We unhesitatingly give credit for the
record of the first year and half Of
Democratic administration, to the
patient, far-sighted, determined
leadership of the man whom upon
the nomination of the Democratic
party was commissioned by the
American people to give definite
shape and form to the Democratic
and popular trend of the new age of
politics-to Woodrow Wilson, all
ready by undoubted right of achieve
ment, in the very front of all Amer
lean statesmen, living or dead, and
the equal OF any in the clearness with
which he sees and the steadiness
with which he follows the distinctive
Democratic ideals of the American
system OF government.
Honest Tariff Law.
We ascribe to President Wilson
and to his loyal lieutenants in the
party the tariff law which displaced
the system of special privilege. out
of which monopoly sprang and by
which it grew to its alarming pro
PORTIONS tariff law so fundament- |
ally sound that Republicans pro-
nounced it a performance of the !
peoples mandate, and the Bull |
Moosers in congress yielded it their /
votes on final PASSAGE; we ascribe \
also to the President and his coad-
tutors, that final triumph of a half
century of Democratic warfare-the
imposition of a direct tax upon the
wealthy and the fortunate, in lieu
of the former heavy burden of indi-
rect taxation resting upon the masses
of consumers, and we point to the
fact that these two measures of
economic reform dismayed and si-
fenced scoffers by leaving to the gov
ernment, during the first year of
their operation, clear surplus of
thirty millions of dollars, demon
strating the truth of the Democratic
that Just system of tax
alton is consistent with an adequate
revenue to the government. We join
with Democrats throughout the
country in awarding credit also to the
President and the party for the sci
entific revision of the currency sys-
TEN which freed the finances of the
country from the capricious mastery
of Wall Street and reduced to the
minimum the danger of destructive
panics; reform of such compelling ,
merit that it drew to itself in the
end the votes of the minority parties
In congress, then anxious to appear
the friends of a measure which they
had in the narrowness of partisan
spirit, delayed and fought.
Praise Foreign Policy.
We are gratified that not even this
series of Democratic reforms was

sufficient to satisfy the energy OF
our leader and that with clear
vision of the needs of business in
terests OF the country as well as of
the masses of those who must live
by their labor, he goes steadily for
ward to cousummate the party's la
bors, in the field OF economic relief,
by reducing to law the Democratic
proclamation that private monopoly
is indefensible and intolerable and
must be destroyed. We approve q
foreign policy that has abolished the
dollar diplomacy, has placed the en-
phasis upon justice rather than upon
eXpediency, in intercourse with all
nations, great or small, and particu-
larly do we approve that novel and
fearless refusal of the President to
accord the recognition of the United
States to Mexican usuruation
originating in murder and sustained
by money, and his firm pursuit of Il
policy which now happily eyentuates
in permanent peace accompanied
by new day of justice and Democ-

As western Democrats We take
pleasure in the fact that throughout
this entire course of striking domes-
tic and foreign achievements, there
has stood by the side of the Presi-
dent, in solf-effacing loyalty ana
service, the pioneer preacher of the
revival of Democracy in America,
William j. Bryan, and that our own
representatives in both branches of
congress have been active. faithful
and efficient in the performance OF
their part in the discharge of the
great obligations of the party.
We commend the course of
Charles 5. Thomas and John f.
Shafroth in the United States senate.
We favor the nomination of Sena-
.or Thomas to succeed himself. We
believe that the Democratic party and
the state would suffer a great loss IL
senator Thomas should be retired
from the senate where his conspic-
lous ability and his constant devo-
ion to genuine Democratic principles

position and national rep

BOYS, RIDING DOUBLE ON BICYCLE, HIT TEAM
George Ohman Seriously Crushed Under Wheel
 Companion Injured.

George, the young son of Rev. Dr. and was seriously injured this morning, and Walter Johnson, who lives on Rockwell avenue, was painfully bruised when the two boys, riding on one bicycle, had a collision with a heavy delivery wagon belonging to the Great Western Market. pr. George w. Dunn took the injured boys into his office and worked over them for some time, carefully dressing their wounds. Young Ohman was the more seriously hurt of the two, as one of the wheels of the heavy wagon passed over his stomach. The physician is not yet able to determine whether Or not he suffered any dangerous in- ternal injuries.
 Aside from the injuries to his ab- domen the Ohman boy has a number of bad body bruises and his nose was cut open. Johnson was also badly hurt, being kicked on the head by one of the horses. He has several bad contusions on the head and an ugly gash over his eye. 1t re- quired three stitches to close the wound.
 The accident occurred shortly after 11:30 o'clock this morning, near the South church corner. The two boys were coming along on bicycle. one riding the other on the handle bars. just as the Great Western Market wagon came up Main street The driver drew in near the curb and the boys seemed to lose control of the bicycle, for they crashed into the horse near the whiffle tree, the two boys and the bicycle falling under the horses hoofs and the wagon wheels. The driver brought his team to standstill and the injured boys were taken into a nearby store, after which they were taken to the physicians office.

VALLoN ADMITS THAT HE
 LIED REGARDING MURDER
Witness Today Denied He Quarreled With Rosen-
 thai.

New York, May 15.-Harry Vallon, fellow conspirator with Bald Jack" Rose and others in the plot which re- suited in the murder of Herman Ros- enthal. for which Charles Becker is being tried for the second time, un- derwent the ordeal of cross-examina- tion today. He admitted that he had lied on many occasions in respect to the murder, but swore. that his story of the events leading up to the crime was correct in its essential details
 Counsel for the defense fired ques- tion after question at the witness in an endeavor to show that his testi- mony connecting Becker with the con- spiracy was false. In no important points. however, was the witness story broken down.
 It became Known today that Charles Pitt, who was known as Becker's press agent, probably will be called as a witness for the state Pitt is to be used as a corroborating witness to support the stories of Rose, Val lon and Webber. He was not called at the former trial
 In direct examination today Vallon corroborated the main points of Jack Roses story, and was then turned over to the defense. He admitted under cross examination that he had known Rosenthal for fifteen years and that they had had disagreement six months before Rosenthal was mur- dered. The witness denied, however that he had quarreled with the mur- dered man. It is contention of %1,o Ice ID tim of a gamblers war. Martin T. Manton, for the defense, read the rec- ord of Vallon's testimony at the last trial in which he said ''We quarreled."
 Well" said Vallon today, i've didn't quarrel. That's the truth
 Manton asked Vallon whether he was standing on the running board of the murder car with a smoking pistol in his hand as it sped away from the scene of the crime. Vallon denied 1t
 Vallon was asked about a statement made by Isadore Fishman, a friend who visited him and Webber in prison and who Is to- be called as witness for the defense. Fishman's testimony will be used in an effort to show that Val1on, Webber and Rose framed up" Becker while they were in pris- on. Vallon declared if Fishman ever swofe there was frame up" he was liar.
 VaAon denied he ever had num- Der of pickpockets working" in de- partment stores for him.
 II suppose you are resourceful, too?' MRnton asked.
 "Oh yts I am'' replied witness.
 Would you lie to save your life?"
 "Yes,' said Vallon emphatically.
 Vallon vas excused and recess was taken.

 "On this Mem orial day lIet us re- new the spirit of the occasion.
