One bill approved gives to city the right to pur-

The Nexf Platforms
(From the washington POST.

il will be no cut and dried task that
will confront the platform commit
tees Of the next national Republican
and Decorate conventions. Honeyed
words about the tariff being respon-

not be written into the Democratic
platform next year Nor will the
Republicans be called upon TO write
down all the policies which have
characterized the growth of their
party.
There will be few pre-eminent is
sues. IL would be well for both par
tIes TO discard the usual platitudes
and coniine themselves to the great
issues in which the people are now
sincerely and deeply interested. The

subject for pleasant generalities and
absurd promises. Il will not be pos
sible to deceive the public again. The
next Democratic candidates for Pre-
sident must explain why. in the light
OF the assertions i'm 1912. the reduc-
ton OF the tariff was not accompanied
by lower cost OF living. but instead
was marked by a loss of profits and a
diminution of wages.
The best weapons at the disposal
of the Republicans are the tariff. the
antitrust program, the failure of
the Democrats to evolve "a compre-

From Jan. 10 to 20 German air
ships bombarded the fortified places
of Yarmouth and other places on the
English coast" says an official des-
patch given out at Berlin. Yarmouth
is not fortified. nor were any of the
other places attacked by the German
raiders fortified. Yarmouth is a fish
ing port with only twelve feet of
water at the bar when the tide is
out, and in the summer it is popular
seaside resort The town manufac-
tures no war materials; ships and
boats, rope. twine and trawl nets are
its chief products.
All this is known TO the German
Intelligence Department, which is
famous the world over for the extent

OF Yarmouth as a fortified place is a
brazen invention officially published

the Rev. p. J. Daley, pastor of the Church
Of Our Lady OF the Rosary in Philadelphia that the
marriage mill in Ekton, Md. is a scandal to the
munity The fact that the declaration is neither
nor novel in that respect does not deract from its
value and timeness It's virtue lies chiefly the fact
that it contains the element of truth
II is pity that other preachers much more closely
affected by the situation in the county seat of Cecil
cannot their way clear to engage in a crusade
against situation that is doing much social harm ana

mill is a disgrace to the State that maintains il and
