Reduction Of Tariff.

Tariff The reduction Of tariff duties
on a scale which the Democratic plat
form makers contend would be a nor
nal income for the support of the gov
eminent i'm normal times will be point
cd out as a party achievement. The en-
actment of an income tax will be pre-
scented as one of the party measures to
bring income 20 the support of the
government while dividing the burden
according 10 the ability of the indi-
vidual to bear il. The creation of a
tariff commission and the shipping bill
now pending also will be presented as
reasons for continuing the party in
power
The platform will contend that legis-
lation at home and diplomatic dealings
abroad have lent strong stimulus to
American foreign trade, and that as a
result industrial prosperity has greatly
been enhanced and foreign trade estab-
lished on frmer basis than ever be-
fore
The platform will charge that the
Republican platform is little more than
an attack upon Democratic achieve
ments, offering no constructive policy
to take the place of the measures as
sailed.
The suffrage plank in the Demo
cratic platform has come in for lot
Of discussion among Democratic lead
crs. and they are unanimous m the
feeling that if-it goes as far az that
Of the Republicans did, the suffra-
gsts will be lucky. The feeling here
is against the inclusion of any
suffrage plank in tho Democratic plat
form. but 1t Is likely that political
cVigency will force some kind Of a
declaration. President Wilson is COM
mitted TO a policy Of leaving the in
dividual states to decide the question
for themselves, and there are no indi-
cations that he has changed.

tions committee Of tho convention 70

Washington, June 1i.-President Will
son put his final approval to-day on
plans for the Democratic National Con-
vention in st. Louis. After attending

will be one of the Presidents personal
representatives in the convention.
The Mexican plank in the Democratic
platform is giving Administration Of
hclsls some concern because Of the
continued uncertainty of the situation
and the possibility that it will change
before the election. It was understand
to-day that the plank will emphasize
the policy of the President Of Interior
ing as little as possible IN the internal
affairs of Mexico.

give the women a hearing, but Il is
expected to be purely perfunctory. The
National Woman's Suffrage Associa-
ton. however, will strivN for a dupli-
cate at least OF the plank in the Ke-
publican platform.
The prohibition plank is wholly up
TO William Jennings Bryan. lie hasn I
arrived here yet, and his coming IS
looked forward TO anxiously, FOR the
outlook is that he alone can furnish
the necessary props for a hght. Bryan
isn't a delegate and he won't ne al.
lowed on the floor Of the convention II
the Nebraskan delegates can prevent
il. There is nothing, however TO pre-
vent Bryan from appearing before the
resolutions committee and urging tne
abortion of a prohibition plank. Prob
ability Of his obtaining any support IN
a fight against preparedness is consid-
cred negligible.
Would Aid Bryan.
To make a speech Bryan would have
20 get the unanimous consent OF the
delegates. and this he could never do.
some Of the Commoner's friends here,
however. are planning 10 get him be-
fore the convention In some way. This
is about the only chance Of real fight
that looms up.
St. Louis began to look like con-

Mexican Situation.

Mexican-The Mexican situation, pre-
scented frankly and fully from the view
point of the Administration. will be re-
cited, with claims Of justification for
the Administration course as best
shaped to conserve peace with the
neighboring republic.
Preparedness This will be treated
under two separate heads. one dealing
with what already has been accom-
plished, the other with that IN the
making. IL will be pointed out that the
party has met new world conditions de-
handing preparedness for national de-
fence by pointing to the advanced stage
Of preparedness Of the navy, both in
ships and men; legislation already en-
acted for the enlargement Of the Naval
Academy, and Administration plans for
rapid and balanced enlargement Of the
nations forces for defence at sea. II
will be contended that more probably
will have been done during three years
/ Of Democratic administration than had
/ been accomplished for many preceding
years under Republican rule.
Financial The Federal Reserve act,

/ the country 10 a basis calculated to
provide for the expansion and cOntrac-
tion Of currency TO meet the fluctuat-

BOXING PAYS BEST

The difference in dollars and cents between boxing and wrestling as a vocation is Illustrated by the amounts paid to leading> boxers and wrestlers. Joe Stecher and "Strangler' Lewis recently wrestled a no-fail draw which consumed hours of hard work. For their efforts the grapplers each re- ceived S5.022. This is but a trifling sum when compared with the S70,- 900 paid to Jee Willard and Frank Moran by Tex Rickard for their ten round bout at Madison Square Gar den last winter and the S25,0OO col lected by Jack Dillon ahd Moran for their tenround setto in Brooklyn last month. The top rankers in the vari- ous divisions of pugilism demand more than s5.OOO an appearance. What they would want for five-hour fight is beyond the power of imagina- tion.

BASEBALL POPULAR
 N SOUTH AMERICA

That the American national game Of baseball is neconnng popular n South America is vouched for in th2 report of a game played in the middle of June at Rio Chico, Venezuela. The opposing teams were a native nine of Rio Chilean players and an Amer ican team made up from the crew of the steamship Aplha which Lad been purchased from a Philadelphia concern by a wealthy Venezuelan. When the Philadelphia cEew detv- cred the vessel at the port of Care nero they were invited to a celebra- tion in their honor at Rio Chico, hlch included a baseball game. The ra- tive team wore regular baseball uui- forms surmounted by rcd sashes, while the visiting Americans had to don overalls, which were bit heavy in the tropic heat.
 The Rio Chicans proved to be very fast baserunners and took the lead m the early innings but as the game progressed the visitors easily out played their opponents, who ceased playing at the beginning of the lucky seventh and acknowledged defeat by the score of r to 6 in favor of the Yankees. The Philadelphia team was explained by H. H. Weeks, of yacht ing fame, who played first base. As sistant Engineer Lingo, graduate of Girard college. was the boxman
 while Chief Engineer Anderson. of the Municipal nine of Philadelphia was the other end of the battery.

CLUBS WITHIN CLUBS IS
 SUCCESSFUL ON COAST

Clubs within clubs is an innovation which seems to be popular among Southern California organizations which have to do with any form of athletics, it being necessary for can didates who wish to become mem bers of the inner circle to be able to reach certain prescribed standard of efficiency in the particular line of sport which the club fosters. Those who favor the plan say it is an in centive for athletes to strive for higher standard of performance.
 To become member in good stand ing of the inner circle of 'Skeeters" of the San Diego Rowing club it is necessary for the aspirant to row LOS miles over a prescribed course within g minutes and 30 seconds. This is the only requirement necessary for admission. Of the entire club mem bership there are LOW about a score of "Skeeters" and the course is dot ted every day with men in the shells who are endeavoring to break into the charmed circle. Those who are responsible for the idea point to this as an incentive for more and better rowing.
 The "Killiefishes" compose a simi- lar organization within the Los An geles Aethletic club, made up of swimmers. In order to be eligible as a "Killiefish" the seeker for the GOV eted distinction must be able to swim 50 yards in less than 40 seconds.
 The "Killiefishes" in turn are diyi- ded into three classes, A. B. and C.. Class A. includes those who can swim the distance within 31 seconds, class B. calls for 9 seconds or better, while class c. includes those who can cover the distance between 8 and 40 sec onds. No class A or class B. man is allowed to rest secure in his position, for if he falls below the time mark in competition he is relegated into a lower division again. Thus it is pos sible for a class A man and a class C. man to change positions. Vance VeiCh, swimming instructor for the club, believes that this system will be of immense benefit in stimulating swimming and increasing the stand ard

CLEVELAND SPENT
 SSO,0OO FOR MEN
Speaker Worth His Weight In Gold, Declares McRoy
 Of Indians

NEW YORK, July 22.-'f Guy Morton, our star pitcher, had not been injured about month ago we now would be leading the American league by a safe margin says Robert McRoy, vice president of the Cleve- land land. Morton snapped a tendon near his right elbow and he hasn't tried to pitch a curve ball in practice since that time. He is with the team, but Lee Fohl has no idea when he can return to the box. Morton had won II out of 19 games for us when he became crippled
 Meanwhile we have secured several new pitchers, including Gould from Davenport, Ia. Bailey, a New Eng land recruit of some quality, and Lam beth of the Topeka club. Beebe, who Nas purchased from the Buffalo club recently, is helping the team won derfully. But I must admit that our mainstay is Stanley Covaleskic, who seems to be horse for work.
 "The Cleveland club has spent ESQ., GOO for players, including Speaker, since Jim Dunn became the owner, but we will make some money. Speak CT is worth his weight in gold. If anything should happen to him we would be out of the running in no time. Fohl is a splendid manager He has welded the team together with rare skill and he is entitled to much of the credit for the Indians excellent record to date"
