plantations. The work of FRAN
ing a platform will severely test
the ingenuity of the democratic
leaders. The Baltimore platform
Of 1912 opened with the declara-
ton that it is a fundamental prin-
ciple Of the democratic party that
The federal government under the
constitution has no right or power
to impose or collect tariff duties
except for the purpose of revenue.
What to do with that plank is
conundrum. "
Permit. us to ask this question:
After the democratic party has
levied sufficient duties to meet the
running expenses Of the govern
ment what use have we for any
more; unless it would be to build
bigger what is already known as
a manufacturers multimillionaire
ariStocracy?
1t is the same old republican
scarecroW, used in the same old
way. Protect the American manu-
facturer by levying a higher
tarilf-collect millions more than
we need. Fitch from the con
sumner III he will possibly stand
for the enrichment Of the manu-
farturer. under the guise Of pro
tccting the American laborer
If the American laborer will re-
fleet for IA moment he will see the

see even more-he will see great
shiploads of foreign laborers com
ING to America after the war is
over. and they will not be labeled
protection for American labor,
but tariff for the American manu-
facturer.
Think this matter over seriously
and you will decide to vote for
prevention instead Of protection.
You will vote to prevent the re-
pubIicans from coming into power
and taxing you on everything you
eat, drink and wear in order that
they may collect millions to en-
rich the American manufactures
under the guise Of protecting
American labor Republican
speakers tell you they want
tariff 50 high that in effect it will
prohibit the importation of for
eign goods. The word "prohibit"
sounds good, but they don't want
it to prohibit. They want to hide
behind it and place the price OF
their goods at the same price Of
the foreign goods. with the tariff
added, and thereby enhance their
profits.
If they want a tariff so high
that in effect it is prohibition to
the foreign manufacturer, why
don't they ask for prohibition
against the foreign laborer, and
prevent him from coming here in
open competition to you in every
trade, calling and profession2
The old saying that an ounce of
prevention is worth a pound Of
cure, should read can ounce Of
prevention is worth a pound of
protection"

very poor judgment. Children
who are suffering from hunger
and neglect, because the father
and wage Garner has deserted
them, are certainly as deserving
of help as children of fathers
who have died or who have lost
their reason.
owe do not presume to speak
for the women of the Pension
Board, who will perhaps, adopt
policy of helping as many as
possible in a small way rather
than helping a few more gen
erously. Many, inquiries are
made at the commissioners
office as to the status of moth
ers well advanced in years who
have grown-up sons and daugh-
ters, who, under the law, are
required to care for and provide
for them. We do not think such
applicants can qualify under this
act. It is intended for the moth
ers who have dependent children.
The public cannot be witness to
the intense struggle against po-
verify, against hunger and cold,
the ceaseless WEAKNESS of moth
ers who must work beyond their
physical strength, the distress
of mind and heaviness of heart
experienced by them, as they
see their little ones hungry and
scantily clad. The public does
not know this.
''The Workmen's Compensa-
tion law will further minimize
this form of poverty by it's pro-
vision for widows and children
of men, who are killed in the
course Of their employment, but
the board will have many cases
of poverty, caused by accident
before the compensation law
went into effect, and the rapid
increase in our population con-
stantly adds to the number of
cases outside of the compensa-
tion law.

Reseuing Napoleon by Submarine.
In his book on submarines Frederick
a Talbot tells us that the submarine
Is practically as old as the sailing
ship" though he passes the fact over
with the statement that the majority
of these efforts were fantastic in con-
aception and crude in design.
The most daring expedition ever sug-
gested in the early days of the subma-
rine was that proposed for kidnapping
Napoleon from st. Helena. 1t was
