instinct Of the race. / want you to
remember it, and forget It not
Until the crowns shall crumble
And the swords Of the kings are red
with rust;
Forget it not until the. hills lie
humble,
And the springs Of the sea run dust
Listen
The fact that we not only have
platforms, but that the platform is
becoming more specified year after
year. Is conclusive proof that the
people believe in the Democratic
theory, and they write their plat
forms because they believe, and those
who run upon them lead the voters
to believe, that they believe a plat
form is binding upon those who stand
uDon it.
AS a believer in the Democratic
theory Of representative government,
1 desire TO announce it as a settled
principle not to be questioned in this
country, that a platform is binding
upon every honest man who runs
upon that platform. l have heard it
said by men after an election that
they could not conscientiously sup
port something in their platform; and
it raises a very important question
whether a man should violate his
conscience as a public servant, and
/ frankly tell you that I believe that
no man should violate MS conscience,
either as an individual or as a public
servant. Far be It from me to say
that any man elected to Office should
as an official do a thing that his con-
science condemns. But does that
mean that he should violate his plat
form? No; it seems that his con-
science should commence to work
before the election and not hiber-
nate until after the election.
"T lay it down as a proposition,
and l am prepared to defend it any
where, that the representative who
secures Office upon a platform and
then holds the Office and betrays the
people who elected him is a criminal
worse than the man who embezzles
money intrusted to him.
"Mr Bryan has had something else
to say about the duties of the Presi-
dent which it is not out of place to
refer to here. In an article published
in The Commoner on THE conception
of the Presidency" July IS, 1908, he
said:
"A President must have counse-
lors-'
Il do not see how he could get
along without them. If he had more
/ counselors and advisers and fewer

And to endure with patience him thai

"Mr. Bryan said:
"a President must have counse
lors, and to make wise use of coun
sellers he must be open to conviction

/ platform is binding. There

bees, or yellow-backs, have made
their home. The entrance to their
dwelling is through two large augur
holes, ana these passage-ways prove
busy lanes for the energetic little
vellow-backed insects as they travel
ont and in. I'm sure the honey which
they store will be safe from theft,
for no hand can reach it, and the
guardians they have placed at each
round entrance will see that no
strange bee or other insect will get
within reach of the garnered sweets.
In this same square a pi II of squir-

BuY EpuCATION AT HOME.

=, Tying education at home is in strict conformity
ID with the buy-at-home principle that has been
agtaed years by this newspaper and that has the
sanction and support Of the Wilmington Chamber
of Commerce and other beneficial and broad-minded
civic organizations. Therefore take pleasure in
giving prominent place the following letter received
from the Rev. George Henry Dole urging Wilmington
parents TO make liberal Of the fitting depart
ment Of the Friends School an agent for preparing
their sons and daughters for college:
To the Editor Of THE EVENING JOURNAL;

fitting department The work done in fitting pupils for
the colleges compares favoraby with other institutions
OF the kind IL IS sufficient and satisfactory and under
the efficient Of its principal the particular needs
yided.
There is every resason why Wilmington people should
patronze home school. Among the reasons are
these: Il is worthy of patronage, its record in fit
ting for colleges proves. Loyalty TO nome undertake
ings should appeal strongly. But the greatest reason
for Wilmington parents sending their children there

Sincerely yours.
GEORGE HENRY DOLE.

Such letter coming from a man who has only a
public-spirted interest in the Friends School, should
be productive Of good. It is manifestly unfair to a
local educational institution of the highest possible
pute for Delaware parents in general and Whining
ton parents in particular to send their children
side preparatory schools when the Friends School
maintains fitting department of such value. As DR..
Dole suggests. by the use of the local preparatory
school the boys and girls kept under parental
troll and influence right up the time Of the departure
for college That in itself should as an induce
ment especially when the efficiency Of the Friends
School fitting department is unchallenged

and it was indeed a pleasure to see
the trio complete again.

BENEFITS or RICE DIET.

ITO benefit the skin and digestive
organs and beautify the complexion
says Lillian Russell, rice is the best
vegetable we have. The diet should
consist only Of rice, boiled or steamed:
bread, butter and water. Rice has a
smaller percentage OF protein than al.
most any other food and gives the
bodily organs a better chance to elimi-
mate waste in natural manner than
If highly heterogeneous food is used.
Men or women whose skins are inclin.
ed to roughen and break out into erup.
tions of the slightest kind should adopt
the rice diet for three weeks faithfully.
/ have used the rice diet and have
found it not only identifying to the
complexion but | have found that in
three weeks faithful adherence to the
diet | have lost ten pounds of flesh.
There is never a moment of discom-
fort during the diet; one always feels
strong and well and plentifully nour.

Beware of false prophets, which
come to you in sleeps clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves
Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Do men gather grapes of thorns, or
figs of thistles?
Even so every good tree bringeth
forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree
bringeth forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit, neither corrupt tree bringeth
forth good fruit.
Every tree that bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn down, and cast into
