The spoils Monoars

The Democratic national platform
has lost SO many of its planks that
the remnants represent something
ike a small bundle of kindItng.
None more treacherous, more dis
graceful. in this plank smashing has
there been. however, than the party's
wtlfully broken promise regarding
the civil service law, a sample Of
which is pointed out by the ,Moryar-
town Post-Chronicle, as follows.
THE declaration in favor Of TOLLS
exemption is not the only plank in
their platform of which the Demo-
Gratis are disposed to make kindling
wood. The Baltimore platform con-
tanned statement as to the party
attitude toward civil service reform
which ran as follows:
THE law pertaining to the
civil service should be honestly
and rightly enforced, to the end
that merit and ability shall be.
the standard of appointment
and promotion rather than SER
vice rendered to political par
ty.
The conduct of the Democratic
leaders in congress makes 1t clear
that this part of the platform. like
mat relating to tolls exemption. was
made to get in on rather than to stand
on. These portions of the platform
material, to borrow a Wilson meta
phor were merely the 'molasses to
catch the flies
That this is the fact was brought
out quite clearly in debate the other

Democratic newspapers of the state
are exceedingly particular about in
Guiding in their big head lines of
Democratic conventions the assertions
that such conventions are Embossed.
The constantly repeated explanation
arouses the suspicion that the con-
yentions are not so Embossed as ad-
vertised. The proceedings of those
meetings, notable among which was
the one recently held at Charleston,
show that it is up to the Democratic
newspapers to do little party press
work.

whitening at the Root.

The dwindling away Of the Pro-
gressive vote in the state Of Iowa in
the statewide primaries recently is
one OF the most suspicious political
pointers in recent weeks. Iowa, the
home of The Iowa Idea" of FIVE or
six years ago was the birthplace and
the nursery of the Progressive move
ment and from THE Iowa Idea"
sprang all the subsequent rampant
radiealism that swept througout the
country for several years and kulmt-
mated in the tnsurrection at Chicago.
The fact that Iowa has shaken on
her fever of radlcalism and has
rushed back into the folds Of the old
party of true progress and prosperity
is both suspicious and momentous.

DANGER AFTER GRIPPE

To prevent grippe from being fol-
lowed by either pleurisy or pneumo-

LIQUOR ALWAYS A VIoLAToR.

I have given reasonably careful
study to the problems of liquor in all
the states for many years, and my OBJ
servation convinces me that the
liquor business always violates the
law that governs it, no matter how
liberal the law may be; and always
goes beyond the limit that the law
permits; and that whenever a strict
er law is passed to check its crimes
the law does good
The real philosophy and reason for
the prohibition movement lies in the
fact that the liquor dealer is nearly
always a law-breaker, his calling the
sure aid always of public privilege
and wrong, the sure dependence al
ways OF the tyrant, and that it makes
always for anarchy and crime. In all
the records of history the wine shop
and the tavern have been the rem
devious of criminals and the recruit
ing ground where tyranny and public
privilege have found the henchmen
they would employ to fasten their
evil power on the masses of the peo-
pie, or do the criminal and brutal
things that always serve to rapress
the noble aspirations of the toiling
masses.-Hon. Hooper Alexander of

uttin9 Trees on Vermont'S Idle

The awakened interest in reforestaton

banks & Co. of st. JOhnsbury, which has
Just placed an order for 100000 white

practically useless. Other corporations
engaged in this kind of endeavor are the
Newton q Thompson Manufacturing Co.
of Brandon, the Estey Organ Co. of Brat
tleboro, the Bridgewater Wooden Co. and
the Proctor Marble Co. Inasmuch as
these companies own considerable areas
in Vermont, it will mean a long step
toward restoring the forests of Vermont
that they should become interested in
the movement. Much of the awakened
interest must be due to the efforts of the
state forestry department under the di-
rection of A. f. Halves, and the results
thus far shown justify the establishment
of such department in Vermunts adj
ministrative life. Vermont has so many
idle acres that they ought to be put to
use in raising trees if nothing more

HuStline the Busy Bee

An American who can Ike the busy
bee hustle has clear title 10 Yankee
smartness. There is one in the San Joa-
quin Valley, California. When the south
ern orchards have gone out of bloom, his
bees are transported from orange groves
to alfalfa fields and sage brush. AS early
as the month of April the Apiarist having
stored one crop of excellent honey, goes
after the summer gathering, to be garn-
! cred from the queen of western honey
| flowers, the alfalfa clover. After box
car journey the bees are set to work in
their new field of labor two hundred
miles from the pastures of the previous
day.
By moving the hives north and south
as the various honey-foods mature and
fade, this up-to-date apiarist keeps his
bees constantly at work. His little busy
b9es improve the shining hours all the
year round, winter and summer alike

Barker for the appointment of an ex-
aminer to take testimony in an In
qeiry into the methods of business of

through an agent the Mutual Film
Company of New Jersey.
This is preliminary to the fling of
quo warranto proceedings to Dust this
company from Missouri provided the
testimony adduced by the examiner
warrants such action.
Barker claims the Mutual Film
Company of New York, a $500. OO0
corporation, which controls moving
pictures, refuses to allow picture
shows in Missouri to have them I'M
less they agree to lease no films from
rival concerns. Since the big COM
pany is not licensed in Missouri he
will strike it through its agent, the
