Platform and Ticket.

The latest yarn has it that the pro
gressive republicans will write the plat
form and the standpatters name the
ticket. Let me write the songs of peo-
pie and | care not who make their laws
Both songs and laws are important-so
much so that where people are well
governed and happy their songs and
laws consist"
Both the Chicago platform and the
ticket will be important, and they must
consist" Should one point in one di-
rection. and the other in the opposite
direction. success at the polls would be
all but impossible. Or if by miracle
success were achieved at the polls, fail
ure in office would be inevitable.
The real leaders of the republican
party-divide them if you please into
:.progressives" and ries-reallzc
that this year the platform will be sub
jected to the closest scrutiny. One of
their charges against the democracy is
that the Baltimore platform was mere
spread of moiasses": that after catch
ing voters enough to install the party
In power it was abandoned, and that the
party since has gone an unrestralned
gait In several particulars this charge
can be sustained by the record.
The offensc is so recent it could not
he successfully repeated now. Any am
bilious attempt. made either at Chicago
or St. Louis. would fail Voters will shv
at a pronounced "sweetening." If too
much is promised they will fear too
meager performance.
If this administration goes out its sue
cessor will have a large order to fill.
Foreign affairs and domestic affairs alike
will press for attention. and require
thorough overhauling. And it is not to
be forgotten that this is government
by parties A President without party
to support him can do little.
1t is just as necessary to write strong
platform at Chicago as to nominate
strong ticket And it is Indispensable
that both platform and ticket express
the same purpose In 1892 Mr.. Cleveland
was elected by what Mr.. Bryan subse-
ouentlv characterized as a bunko game.
That is to say. the platform did not ex-
press purposes common to its support
ers: and after obtaining power they
fell out over the details of its exercise,
and not only bankrupted themselves as
an organization. but came within an
ace of bankrupting the country.
If the Chicago result is a progressive
platform and reactionary ticket, or
vice versa, the democrats will have rea-
son to rejoice and be glad. If both plat
form and ticket are not forward look
ing the republicans will be heavily han
dicapped.

the corner in St. Louis. Is it difficult
to imagine the pictures The old air Of
authority. The familiar voice of melody.
The smooth phrases pouring out in easy
abundance.
A convention set wilds That would
be the result But not for the purpose
of injuring Mr. Wilson, nor yet for the
purpose of booming Mr.. Bryan for any

pose of harmony for the campaign, and
showing respectful sympathy for the UNI
der dog, long on top.
Mr.. Bryan, like Mr.. Roosevelt. is a
good stage manager-a capital judge of
theatrical effects. He knows the value
of a scene. and how to give it the
proper punch" And. not improbably
in choosing seat at the press table
instead of one among the delegates as
sort of stepchild he calculated all the
possibilities of the occasion. If so, and
things in the way of notice in the CON
venti0n hall come his way, what just
criticism will lie?

The Age Of Genius.
You've got to be a genius if you want
to get along.
You've got to tell story or you've got
to sing song.
You've got to paint picture or you've
got to conquer chance
By phenomenal perception of the work
ings of finance.
You've got to be so gifted that your wis
dom can command
The toiling, trusting populace to take
you by the hand.
And feel that life is filled with hopeful
interest anew
For men who have the privilege Of lis
tening to you.
There's happiness in duty that is earnest
ly performed;
There's pleasure in the friendship that
by honest faith is warmed.
There is dignity in service for a right
and proper cause,
Regardless of the outcome as to profits
or applause.
But reliable attainments do not dazzle
or surprise;
They are common as the sunshine or
the starlight in the skies;
They don't blow any whistles and they
never beat a gong.
You've got to be a genius if you want
to-get along.

The Ambassadors Warning.

Yesterday the German ambassador is
sued statement to the effect that in
structions had been sent to all German
consuls in the United States strongly to
impress on German citizens living in
their districts that it is their duty
scrupulously to obey the laws of the
states in which they reside" This is d
most commendable action, to be appre
ciated notwithstanding the fact that it
is perhaps somewhat tardy.
1t is to be noted that this admoni
ton addresses to German citizens"
who are indeed the only ones to whom
the ambassador can speak directly, in
his official capacity. Others of German
extraction but American citizenship,
either native born or naturalized, are
outside of his jurisdiction, and are sup
posedly familiar with their duty to obey
the laws of their states. 1t is also 10
be noted that the ambassador in his
statement directs that these German
citizens be impressed with the necessity
of obedience to the states in which they
live, without particular reference to the
laws Of the United States. 1t must be
assumed that obedience to the federal
laws is comprised within this admoni-
ton. In many of the instances of al
legged law violations by partisans of the
German cause who have undertaken to
hamper the work of munitions supply in
this country the prosecutions have been
by the federal government, inasmuch
as the laws violated were national and
not state.
The fact that the instructions have
been sent out to consuls to warn all
German citizens thus to respect the
state laws is evidence that the repre-
sentative of Germany in this country
realizes that those laws have been vio-
lated by his partisan fellow countrymen
in their Jealous endeavors to prevent
the shipment of munitions to the allies
Whether this realization has come re-
Gently or not is, of course. a question
that the United States government can
not take formally under consideration.

Mr.. Bryan at St. Louis.

Mr.. Bryan scorns the suggestion Of
attending the st. Louis convention either
as an alternate delegate, or as a proxy.
He will attend in the capacity Of a
newspaper reporter-be "chieP taking
notes on a contract to print them.
Still, he will be a very interesting
man there. He will make the reporters
table as conspicuous as the platform.
At times maybe more so. Think Of
where the eyes of delegates and gallery
visitors alike will wander when speakers
recall the past and the part he played
in it; when the preparedness plank Of
the platform is read; when all demo-
Gratis are adjured to get busy and win
at the polls.
But, most of all, think of the effect
on the assemblage should some dyed.
in -the-wool Bryanite-there will be a
number of such among the delegates
be overcome by his feelings and launch
from the platform or his place on the
floor eulogy Of the peerless leader in
the key say Of 1896, 1900 or 1908. What
commotion that would cause. What
cheering among the Bryanites, both up
stairs and down!
And if that should happen-and what
more Ekelyi-it would be in order-a sort
of duty, indeed-to call Mr.. Bryan to
the platform and give him opportunity
to make his Acknowledgements. Of
course, he would respond. He loves his
friends, and never fails to appreciate
their praise.
And let,ps suppose Mr.. Bryan on the
platform for that purpose. The re-
jeeted. stons--in Nebraska now chief. Of
