many of the people would read that
far and find it.
The Democratic platform adopted
Friday is also notable for the absence
of a few of the party's planks and
arguments that occupied such promi-
nent places in the Democratic nation
al platform of 1912.
1t was out of the question, to be
sure, to repeat the plank of 1912
pledging the presidential candidate of
the convention to the principle of
single presidential term. That would
have been a political joke of huge pro-
portions.
But the new campaign creed OF the
Democratic party might have said
something about the high cost OF
living.
It's as high and higher than it was
four years ago.
In their 1912 platform. the Demo-
Gratis charged emphatically that the
high cost of living was due in the
main to the high tariff of Republican
handiwork.
Ergo: A Democratic tariff for
revenue only would knock the props
from under the high cost of living.
Inc Democratic PldLlOIiI 1Ol IVi U
mentions tariff matters, as a matter
of course, and dilates considerably on
the merits of the Underwood law,
which, it says, would be adequate for
revenue under peace conditions"
But nary a word is there any place
in the platform about the high cost of
living and the relation that either a
high or low tariff bears to it.
There isn't even a suggestion that
the Underwood low tariff law, where
it isn't so often a no tariff law, would
be sure to reduce the high cost of liv-
ing under peace conditions"
Possibly the Democrats have awak-
ened to a realization of the fact that
the tariff, high or low, cuts little or
no figure in the cost of living. And,
naturally, if they have reached such
conclusion, it wouldn't be very polite
for them to admit that fact.
Nor is there anything in the Demo-
cratic platform for 1916 that points
with pride to the promptness with
which the forces of the United States
have been used to quell revolutions in
Haiti and San Domingo, and, pre-
sumably, for the protection of Ameri-
can lives and property there.
Not a word on these accomplish
ments of the Democratic administra-
ton.
However, comparisons are odorous
indeed
So why invite them in respect to
Haiti and San Domingo on the one
side and Mexico on the other.
In many places the Democratic ma
tiona1 platform for 1916 is a work
of literary art with the convinc
ing punch in it that President Wilson
is such an adept at delivering in hi:
writing and speaking. But in Other
places it is a labored and painfully
unsuccessful effort to square account.
that cannot be squared.
One of it's fatal defects is that it il
altogether too long for most busy PEG
pie to take the trouble to read.

Carranza now appears to be of
much the same mould of Mexican as
Villa, Zapata and other of the more
or less distinguished patriots who
have brought about such a deplorable
state CT affairs below the Rio Grande.
HIS execution of General Gavira on
the specious charge of treason because
he participated in an unauthorized
conference with. General Pershing is
all the evidence needed on this score.

Were President Wilson as big. ca
pable and versatile an administrator
and statesman as the enthusiastic
euIogies of the orators at the Demo-
cratic national convention painted
him. the world has never seen the like
of him before. and never will again.
However, the real orator takes unto
himself as much license of expression
as does the real poet.

And President Wilson was perfectly
willing to break another precedent by
hustling to st. Louis to deliver a
speech in person to the Democratic
national convention in behalf of his
platform plank on "Americanism"
that the conventions committee on
credentials conceived the idea of re-
writing and making less vigorous in its
procurement against the "hyphen."

One day 1 met a maiden fair,
With golden locks beyond compare,
l wrote an ode upon her hair,
Enthralled quite, by her tresses rare
Her guileless ways did me ensnare;
l lost my heart. but didn't care.
l called one fatal morning where
She lived to lay my secret bare,
All unannounced by trumpets' blare.
To go again I'd never dare,
For when l met her on the stair
Her charming tresses were not there
She'd left them hanging on a chair,
Somewhere.

New York, May 5.--With regard to

"The note shows a complete spiritual
indifference to the friendship of the
United States.' 1t also said: "'There
is total absence of candor and rea-
son in the discussion of the issues at
stake. Of course there are formal dip
lomatic professions and fine phrases
But behind these breathes a more hos
tile spirit than that shown in any pre-
vious German communication. Through
out there is the extraordinary contempt
for fact and distortion of logic whic1
has marked all German discussions Of
