Will The Democrats Abandon TheirAncienf
Faith?
CFrom the New York SUM

The historic position OF the Demo-
cratic party on the tariff was we'll
stated in the Baltimore platform Of
1912 in these sentences:
we declare il to be fundamental
principle 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. and we
demand that the collection OF such
taxes shall be limited to the necessi-
ties Of government honestly and
economically administered.
The principle had been asserted
time and again: Protection is a rob
berry OF the many to enrich the few
the Democrats said in 1904. In 1908
they welcomed the Republican prom
Use 10 revise the rates lin tardy re-
ognitiOn OF the righteousness of the
Democratic position on this ques-
tion." in 1880 their cry was for "a
tariff for revenue only" in 1876 they
demanded that "all custom house tax
alton shall be only for revenue" in
1884 they called for Federal taxation
that should be exclusively for public
purposes" and should mot exceed the
needs Of the government. economi-
cally administered; in 1892 Il was "a
fundamental principle of the Demo-
cratic party that the Federal Govern
ment has no constitutional power to
impose and collect tariff duties except
for the purpose of revenue only" But
in the declaration on this subject pro-
posed for insertion in the Democratic
platform OF 1916 purporting to have
President Wilson's approval a new
philosophy is apparent and although
the hated word protection" is avoid
ed. the phrase fair competition" is
used in a manner which leaves no
room for doubt that the erection OF a
tariff barrier against foreign pro-

The draft of this plank is as follows:

Editorial Opinion
FAMOUS INEXPERT ON
THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Colonel Bryan. parent OF many
paramount issues pronounces his
blessing on the latest Democratic
platform thus:
THE platform adopted by the DEM
ocratic national convention is one Of
the strongest. clearest and most pro-
gressive utterances ever promul gated
by any party.
1T sets forth the party's position
with candor and courage, and it
covers all the issues before the cOun-
try"
Four years ago Deacon Bryan was
chairman Of the resolutions commit
tee of the Baltimore convention The
platform then adopted was largely
his work. He liked it, He said.
1T is the most progressive platform
ever framed in a Democratic conven-
tion.
"That means it is the most pro-
gressive platform ever adopted in this
country.
1T is a stem winder and the people
will respond to It,
"It is a remarkable document
"The unanimity with which it was
adopted was inspiring.
"On the questions Of party prin-
ciples the Democrats this year are
apparently in accord"
Yet that platform included plank
on Panama Canal tolls that the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Bryan afterward dis
owned. disobeyed and nulliied; and
plank pledging the President elected
on it to single term. which Presi-
dent Wilson has ignored. violated and
| thrown into the waste basket
Colonel Bryan knows great dea
about platforms. but his judgment
thereon is not worth much.

Though many years ago,

There rocking to and fro.
AS she held her open Bible.

Her face seemed understandable,
AS her lips uttered praise TO Him.
How often by the old fireplace,
With q voice so tender and mild,
She would tell the story of His grace,
And say always obey and trust Him

AS she knelt in the chair by the fire

I'm Thanksgiving and in prayer.
She seemed 10 meet Him face to face
And thus His blessings share.
But now through my childhood days

The Democratic platform makes
this declaration regarding the tariff:
"We affirm our belief in the doctrine
Of a tariff for the pDrpose OF provid-
ing sufficient revenue for the opera
tion of the government economically
administered and unreservedly in
6orse the Underwood tariff law as
truly eXemplifying that doctrine"
But the Underwood tariff has not
provided sufficient revenue for the
operation OF the government. Does
the platform mean to infer therefore
that the government has not been eco
nomically administered?
The people do not object 10 the
wise expenditure OF money for the
operation OF the government even il
this expenditure is large. There is
little complaint Of extravaganza. eX-
cept i'm connection with unwise poll
cies such as the proposal TO establish
government factories for manufactur-
ing armor plate. nitrates. fertilizer
etc. The usual expenditures OF tho
government are not criticised os ex
cessive. and all reasonable men con.
cede that these expenditures must
increase.
The weakness NJ the Democratic
position on the tariff lies in the fact
that its law is not successful either
as measure Of industrial prepared
ness or as revenue producer.
The tariff plank goes on to say that
I'VE recognize that tariff rates are
necessarily subject TO change TO meet
changing conditions of the world s
production and trade" and it is ad-
mitted that the changes brought about
by the war are yet conjectural and
wait to be disclosed"
The platform, however. makes nc

provision for meeting these changes
beyond approving a plan for non
partisan tariff commission to gather
facts. The party sticks to the "Old
doctine' o. tariff for revenue only.
There is not one word of hope fer
American industry in the platform.
Not a single assurance is given that
the American market will he protect
ed for American producers against
cheaplabOr products of other coun-
tries. Since the Underwood tariff is
held up as an eXemplar Of successful
revenue raising through a tariff. il is
evident that the people need not ex-
pect any relief from war taxes Or d.
rect taxes by an increase in tariff
duties. The foreigner is not only let
off without tax, hut is given full
access to the best market in the world
without requiring from him any equiv
alent. He can dump into the United
States all the goods he produces, at
any price he pleases. and the Ameri-
can worker and producer has no pro-
I lection. What will become Of Ameri.
can wages and the American standard
of living under such a plan when Eu-
/ ropes soldiers turn to production?
The plain warning of the war i'm Eu-
rope is lost upon the Democratic
/ party. so far as the tariff is concern
ed. Preparedness is not for the
workingman. He is to have no pro-
lection. If he cannot work as cheap
ly as the foreigner and produce goods
as cheaply he can quit. If the Ameri-
can manufacturer cannot turn out
goods as cheaply as the foreigner he
can shut up shop. industrial pre-.
paredness" evidently means nothing
to the Democratic party. It's plat.
form shows that it has learned moth,

shavIna on One Side.

The shaving on one side only OF the
heads and boards of prisoners Of war
was obviously done to prevent any at
tempt at escape. But there have been
other motives for such half shaving.
which occurs at all sorts Of points in
history. Sometimes the act has been
pure insult, as when Hanun. king of
the children Of Ammon, shaved off
half Of the boards Of David's servants
In these days the victims would have
mended matters by shaving the other
half But Jewish reverence for tho
beard forbade that. and David told the
men to "tarry at Jericho until your
boards be grown" Demosthenes. when
he shut himself up for months in a
subterranean chamber TO practice ora

of all temptation to go abroad.-Lon

National ElaGs.

II the question were asked which
country's national flag had been long
est in use the answer would be either
the dragon banner of China or the
chrysanthemum flag of Japan. The
former has been used from a very
early period. and the latter is as old
as the present dynasty III Japan. which
is the most ancient IN the world.
Among European national flags that

Masking the Guns.

Against air craft observation one Of
the first precautions taken is to splash
guns. limbers and ammunition wagons
with different neutral tints SO that they
will blend with the ground about
them. Amy earthworks, pits. etc, that
are erected or dug are strewn with
leaves and branches and the earth dis
turbed generally, so that from above
nothing unusua! shall be spotted by
keen eyed air men.
A battery of guns is seldom placed
along the sky line, for there it is an
easy mark. Generally the guns are
concealed some distance down the in
cline in front of the sky line, unless
the guns are howitZers. in which case
they can be best served from behind
the ridge. The idea of placing the
guns in front ef the ridge is that the
rising ground behind them serves as
an effectual screen, as the guns them
selves are painted to represent earth
and foliage.-London Standard.
