year that committee met and selected
delegates to a state platform conven-
ton, which formulated the present state
party policy. Nowhere has there been
a reference to the people; nowhere have
they been consulted; nowhere have
they had voice in placing one word
in that platform; nowhere have the
enthusiastic supporters of the SPLEEN

had an opportunity to give it the in
dorsement 1t merits. And the result
in the Democratic field is the weakest
excuse for a platform ever written, in
many respects, and an abortion in
others.
True democracy is directly opposed
to every form of sumptuary legislation.
Prohibition is viciously subversive of
this principle. 1t is a true Mormon
doctrine, but no man can be a Demo-
crat and believe in prohibition as a
principle. Prohibition was placed in
the Democratic platform to gain votes;
at least, we can't figure out any other
reason. Certainly it was not placed
there as a Democratic principle And
how in thunder that bunch of conglom-
! Grated imbecility ever expected to draw
single prohibition vote from the Re-
publican or Progressive parties gets by

Gated for placing it in the platform
was that the Mormons would vote
against us if we didn't Great logic,
that; wisdom worthy OF a Solomon.
The trick might work but for the fact
that they are going to vote against us
anyway They voted against Wilson
two years ago, and we have heard of no
revelation since, and according to
Harris almanac there will be no fur
ther revelation this year According to
our understanding the Democratic plat
form convention subverted principle to
get something that can't be got Then
why the wherefore of further doing it?

The Cross Stitch Cat

fKH OTHER, I want to learn to
I'VE sew this summer" said six
Ava year-old Frances to her
mother one morning.
Frances had been going to kinder
garten all spring and had learned
so many useful things. Now she
was anxious to learn still more and
surprise her teacher when she re-
turned to school in the fall.
Isn't that a good deal for one
summer asked her mother laugh
mo, it isn't, replied Frances seri-
ously, eff you are willing to teach
me, / know l can learn, mother
dear"
And of course, after such a nice
speech as that, mother was willing
and they planned the work at once.
81 think cross-stitch would be
good thing for you to begin on,
Frances" said her mother, well get
out my patterns and you can decide
what you want to make"
So they went to mothers room
and got out the box of embroidery
threads and patterns.
Now if there was any one thing in
the world Frances loved to do it was
to look over her mothers yarns and
patterns So she took her time now
what was the use of hurrying
when all summer was ahead?
At last, she decided on the pattern
of very handsome cat.
81 want to sew this, mother. and
! want to put it on towel like you
make" she said.
Very we'll, Frances" replied her
mother, you may have this pretty
new towel if you promise to sew the
very best you can"
They went out on the porch and
the sewing lesson began.
First, Frances sewed a scrap of
canvas on the towel. then she fixed
her needle and thread and began to
count stitches.
Zone, two; one, two. three; that
makes his ears" she said. "One, two,
three, four, pretty soon now he will
have head"

PRESS COMMENT
Repeal tho Law.
(Gooding Leader.)

NGOOulnS LeaueT.)
It is somewhat significant that the
Republican and Democratic state con-
ventions both favored an amendment to
the automobile license law passed by
the last legislature. The Republicans
favor the return of 70 per cent of the
license fees to the respective counties
and the Democrats propose to return
80 per cent, with the proviso in both
platforms that the money be expend-
ed on roads.
We think both parties would have
displayed better judgment by demand
ing the absolute repeal of this law.
There is a suspicion in the minds OF
many people that this automobile IL
cense law was put across by the auto
mobile lobby and .there is much more
suspicion that this same law is a swim
die on the taxpayers.
Why should the owner OF a $4,000
automobile be exempt from taxation in
preference to the owner of $4,000 worth
of farm horses or cows?
Is 1t not utterly inconsistent with all
ideas of justice and equality for the
state to exclude several million dol
lars worth of property from the tax
rolls and compel the other property to
make up the consequent loss to the
public revenues?
Under this law the owner of a
$1,000 automobile at Twin Falls pays a
license fee of probably $25, and in no
event more than $40 and is exempt
from all other taxes. The owner OF
$4,000 worth of merchandise or any
other form of property pays a tax of
$50. or just double the maximum
amount paid by the automobile owner.
on the basis of last years levies. The
same conditions exist in other cities.
One unfamiliar with Idaho legisla-
lures wonder that any legislative body
would have the nerve to enact such
law, but the greater wonder is that
the people are willing to stand for it.
It is most singular that the amend

CAPTAIN MILLER
dies; CAREER
Was PICTURESQUE

Captain Frederick c. Miller, a resi-.
dent of Honolulu, for many years, aged
55 years, died at Queens hospital at
1.30 this afternoon following an opera
tion performed this morning for cancer
of the stomach and intestines.
Captain Miller was an inmate of the
institution only since yesterday after
noon. Up to that time he had been
enjoying his usual good health.
The passing of Captain Frederick
Miller removes from this city one OF
the most interesting and picturesque
characters identified with ships and
shipping. His entire boyhood and man
hood has been spent following the life
of a mariner AS cabin boy. later en-
tering the American merchant marine
in the heyday of its existence, Captain
Miller rose from the ranks of fore
mast hand to master of several sailing
vessels, and at one time was steamer
captain. - =. ~..... ..
Captain Miller came into prominence
in these islands as master OF the
steamer Enterprise, the first of these
vessels to enter the service i'll the
Pacific. Captain Miller was IN COM
mand of the Enterprise on is initial
voyage from San Francisco 20 Hilo.
Capt. Frederick Miller has followed
the sea since he was boy. His first
contact with Hawaii was in the early
seventies when he voyaged here as
master of the bark D. G. Murray, that
was one of the first vessels to open
up the island trade between here and
the Pacific coast.
After leaving the island trade he
made his home here, being engaged In
the inter-island trade for number OF
years. A general longshore business
was built up by Captain Miller which
included an extensive salvage outfit,
and in that respect he has been inter
ested in purchasing and salving near
ly every vessel that has been unfor-
tunate enough to pile up on the shores
of any of the islands of Hawaii.
Capt. Miller was the owner Of the
schooner Luka for number of years
and made a couple of trips to the
south seas, on one of which he con-
veyed Father Rougier to Tanning and
Washington Islands.
