A Platform Of Protection


The outstanding feature Of the Re.
publican platform is protection. Not
merely protection in the restricted
tariff sense. but protection for Amer
lea and Americans in all the govern
mental applications Of the power Of
control and direction. 1t is a docu-
ment that speaks for America first"
in every line. 1t does not concern
itself with humanity at large, except
in its relations to the United States.
1t does not assume any benevolent
direction of the moral conduct of the
universe It does not put us in the alb
surd and hypocritical pose of a di-
vinely constituted leader of cosmic
altruism 1t takes the very proper po-
sition that the purpose of American
government is to govern America. and
it rightly assumes that the duty Of
the government begins and ends in the
protection of American citizens and
in the promotion of their happiness
and prosperity.

that we believe in and will enforce
the protection of every American
citizen in all the rights secured to

And then, advancing to economic
questions, it says: The Republican
party stands now, always has, in the
fullest sense. for the policy of tariff
protection in American Industries and

that policy, "the Republican party

Republican party to the faithful en-
forcement of all federal laws passed

mending in addition, number of
measures for the benefit of labor.
All of the planks of this platform
in fact, are in one way or another in
support of protective policies and pro-

news dispatches announce that the
war has made New York City the
greatest commercial port in the
world, just recently surprising Lon
don. And yet some of the Democratic
campaigners tell us that the war did
not restore whatever degree of pros
perity We are now enjoying.
If the present administration had
deliberately made an effort to dis
please the public and make enemies
for itself, it could hardly have sue
ceeded in that direction more effect
lively than it has done. From the At
lantic to the Pacific and from the
Canadian line to the Gulf, protests
are still coming to members of Con-
gress asking in most urgent terms
to be protected from the proposed
changes in the rural delivery service.
In one community out in California a
public meeting of patrons of the rural
service was held and protest was
drawn in such vigorous language that
it was feared few people would sign
it, but the feeling was SO pronounced
that SO per cent OF the patrons of the
rural routes affected signed the pro-
test and then took up a collection to
pay the expense of telegraphing the
protest not only to the Department, |
but to the senators and the congress-
men from that district.
Dissatisfaction with city postal |
service is also apparent in many
places, in one western town where a |
large manufacturing business has |
grown up in recent years and where
first class postal service is important,
the Department announced a change |
in postmasters. The business men |
of the town who supply practically all |
the mail business of the postoffice, |
signed protest against the appoint |
ment of the proposed postmaster and
asserted that il he should be appoint |
ed, they would under no circum-
stances allow their mail to be hand
led by him. as they considered him
wholly unreliable. Those business |
men were looking for service, not for |
politics. Naturally they were not

When As quith became premier in April, 1908, Lloyd George took over the portfolio of chancellor of the exchequer, where he soon became the best hated enemy of the Tories and a popular idol of the people at large.
 Since then he has grown in popular esteem and power until he was looked upon as the logical leader for the kingdom in the present crisis.

RAILROAD TIMETABLES

Managers of railroads and trolley lines sometimes ask what they can do to conciliate public sentiment. They find themselves the center of some hostility, largely due to past abuses of corporate management. They rea- lize that a public service corporation needs the friendly sentiment of the public, but they don't always know how to get it.
 One thing that will promote pub- lie convenience, is to publish in the newspapers correct timetables. One of the most annoying things in taking a journey is to lose trains. AS most railroads change their schedules with some frequency, people are continu- ally getting left because they figured on former leaving time. People can not always be running to the railroad stations to procure the latest time table. If they did, the company would be up against a big additional cost for printing.
 A schedule printed in the home newspaper, showing when trains ar rive and leave at the local station, is a public service. It need not take much space. People would consult it every time they travel and it would save much of the demand for the complete printed timetable, which must be expensive to get out.
 No doubt it would have some tend ency to increase travel The adver- tisement of railroad is reminder of the idea of travel and would sug- gest to people the journeys they would like to make.
 I It may be said that the newspaper lin making this suggestion is merely seeking to sell its advertising space. But it is surely legitimate for the newspaper to remind the business peo- pie of the value of advertising. Some years ago it was much more custom ary for railroads to print their time tables in newspapers. Under the new transportation laws, a great deal Of exchange of advertising for free transportation has been cut off The result has been much complaint on the part of the public that timetables are not printed as they used to be- It would not cost much to remove that source of complaint
