purpose of providing sufficient rev.
enue for the operation of the Gov
ernment is reaffirmed and the Un-
derwood tariff is endorsed as ex-
employing this doctrine.
1t is then recited that the party
recognizes that tariff rates are nee
essarily subject to change to meet
changing conditions in the worlds
pr2iuct and trade. The world war
is lointed to as cause of such
change and the act of the present
Congress in appointing non-par-
tisan tariff commission to make
impartial and thorough study of
every economic fact that may throw
light either upon our past or upon
our future fiscal policy with regard
to the imposition of taxes on imports
or with regard to the changing or
changed conditions under which our
trade is carried on" is endorsed.
THE part that the United States
will play in the new day of inter.
national relationship which is now
upon US will depend upon our pre-
paration and our character. The
Democratic party therefore recog.
nizes the assertion and triumphant
demonstration of the indivisibility
and coherent strength of the nation,
as the supreme issue of this day in
which the whole world faces the
crisis of manifold change. 1t sum-
mons all men of whatever origin OF
creed who could count themselves
Americans to join in making clear
to all the world the unity and con-
sequent power of America.
This is an issue of patriotism.
To taint it with partisanship would
be to defile it. In this day of test,
America must show itself, not ma
ton of partisans, but a nation of
patriots. There is gathered here in
America the best of the blood. the
industry and the genius of the whole
world, the element of great race
and a magnificent society to be
melted into a mighty and splendid
nation.
Whoever, actuated by the pur-
pose to promote the interest of a
foreign power in disregard Of our
own country's welfare, or to injure
this Government in its foreign rela-
tions or cripple or destroy it's in
dustries at home and whoever, by
arousing prejudicies of racial, re.
ligious or other nature creates dis
cord and strife among our people 80
as to obstruct the wholesome pro-
cess of unifcation is faithless to the
trust which the privileges of citizen
ship repose in him and disloyal to
his country.
I'VE, therefore. condemn as SUBJ
versive of this nations unity and in.
tegrity, and as destructive of its
welfare, the activities and designs of
every group or organization, politi-
cal or otherwise. that has for its OBJ
ject the achievement of the interest
of a foreign power. whether such
object is promoted by intimidating
the Government, a political party, or
representatives of the people, or
which calculate and tends to divide
our people into antagonistic groups
and thus to destroy that complete
agreement and solidarity of the
people and that unity of sentiment
and national purpose so essential to
the perpetuity of the nation and its
froo institutions -

dent Marshall. as candidates to sue
ceed themselves. in advance of the
party platform.
Il is customary in political con-
ventions to prepare the platform,
adopt it, and then name the candi-
date to stand upon it. Sometimes
the selection of a candidate depends
in large measure upon platform
declarations; and, while st Louis
was no exception. the understand
ing between party and party leaders
was 80 complete that it was possible
TO name the standard-h bearers bv
unanimous vote, even in advance OF
the formal adoption OF party prin-
ciplcS.
As Il matter Of fact, although IN
Washington attending to admins
tration affairs, President Wilson
was as much a part and parcel OF
the St Louis convention as though
he were personally in the thick of it.
Those platform features about which
President Wilson was most concern
ed were drafted by himself; he wrote
the administration policy, founded
upon national achievement, into
the very heart Of the document
The merest suggestion Of any other
running mate than Vice President
Marshall disappeared like chaff be-
fore the wind at the Presidents
simple request for his nomination.
Recalcitrants, what few there were,
promptly folded their tents in the
face of a majority that was the very
next thing to unanimity.
When it came to national diSloy-
atty on the part Of certain citizens
of foreign extraction, those of the
.'hyphenated" variety, President
Wilson would brook no modifca-
ton of his emphatic expression OF
denunciation, both of this class and
of the politicians who would seek
preference by encouraging this un-
American sentiment and attitude.
As in administration affairs, 50 in
those of politics, President Wilson
again demonstrated his able quail
ties of leadership; and, assuredly,
the St Louis convention read the
congressional majority a splendid
lesson in falling so promptly and
positively into line and accord with
demonstrated political foresight and
executive ability.
President Wilson could not have
Deen any more the democratic lead
er, the head and forefront of the
party convention, had he been there
in person directing its affairs.
With cleancut issues, built solidly
upon administrative performance,
and with demonstrated qualities of
leadership unexampled in recent
national history, he will 20 before
the people and win their sanction
and support as the one American
best qualified to be-

The first nation to adopt the eagle as
q symbol of royal poEer was the
Itruscans Of ancient Italy, who bore
the image Of an eagle at the head of
their armies at Cunaxa in 401 3. C. ! !
The eagle became the standard Of
the Roman legions in the time Of
Marius. The Roman eagle was repre-
ser ted with outspread wings. The
Byzantine emperors had as their EN-
blem double-headed eagle. signifi-
cant OF their claim to empire in both
east and west. The eagle was later
adopted by the German emperors and
the rulers of Prussia, Poland and
Russia. Charlemagne added the second
head to the eagle for his arms to sig
Nifty that the empires of Rome and
Germany were united under him. The
eagle was the standard Of Napoleon
and was restored to France during the
second empire.
The design for the great seal Of the
United States. embracing a spread
eagle was suggested to John Adams,
then minister to Great Britain, by Sir
John Prestwich, an eminent English
antiquary, and was adopted by con-
gress in 1882. M
