MERCHANT MARINE,

Immediate provision should be
made cor the development OF the car
rying trade of the United States. our
foreign commerce has in the past
been subject TO many unnecessary
and veXatious obstacles i'm the way OF
legislation OF republican congresses
Until the recent democratic tariff
legislation. it was hampered by UNI
reasonable burdens OF taxation. Tn
til the recent banking legislation. il
had at its disposal few of the nec-
essary instrumentalities of interna-
tional credit and exchange. Until
the formulation of the pending act
to promote the construction Of a
merchant marine. il lacked even the
prospect of adequate carriage by sea.
We heartily endorse the purpose and
policy Of the pending shipping bill
and favor all such additional meas
ures Of constructive or remedial leg
islation as may be necessary TO re-
store our flag 10 the seas and 70
provide further facilities for our for
eign markets. particularly such laws
as may be made 10 remove unfair
conditions of competition i'm the deal
ings Of American merchants and pro-
ducers with competitors in foreign
markets.

LABOR.

We declare our Faith IN the Seamen 3
act, passed by the democratic con-
gress. and we promise our earnest
continuance of its enforcement, We
favor the speedy enactment of an
effective federal child labor law. and
the regulation of the shipment Of
prison-made goods in interstate COM
merce.
We favor the creation Of a federal
bureau of safety in the department
of labor to gather facts concerning
industrial hazards, and to recon-
mend legislation TO prevent the
manning and killing of human be-
ings
We favor the extension Of the
powers and functions of the federal
bureau of mines.
We favor the development, upon
a systematic scale of the means al
ready begun under the present ad-
miniStratiOn, to assist labOrers
throughout the nation to seek and
obtain employment and the extern
sion by the federal government by
the same assistance and encourage
ment as now given to agricultural
training.

its excellent record in settling in

PROTECTION OF CITIZENS.

We again declare the policy that
the sacred rights of American citi-
zeuship must be preserved at home
and abroad. and that no treaty with
any other government shall receive
the sanction of our government
which does not expressly recognize
the absolute equality of all our citi-
zens irrespective of race. creed or
previous nationality. and which does
rot recognize the risht Of eXpatria-
ton.
The American government should
protect American citizens i'm their
rights not only at home, but abroad,
and any country having a govern
ment should be held TO strict &C
cOuntability for any wrongs done
them, either TO person or property.
At the earliest practical opportunity,
cur country should strive earnestly
for peace among the warning nations
of Europe and seek to bring about
the adoption Of the fundamental
principle of justice and humanity,
that all men shall enjoy equality Of
right and freedom from diScrimina-
ton in the lands wherein they dwell

Many Plans Projected.
Two or three plans including as
many locations have been under
consideration by the hackers Of the
project, but the one To include The
8orley tract Of land, northeast of the
present site was the first one to- De
officially presented To the council
and as there are many ideal features
connected with the site. IL Is the
one which will probably be passed
by the council at its regular meeting
next Monday night
Vast Improvement in the manner
Of laying out the lots. in the rules
and regulations and in the upkeep
OF the new cemetery is promised.
Under the rules no curbs will be per-
n.itted around any Of the lots. This
will able the moving OF he entire
plot by horse or motor driven ap-
pdratus. No markers over three feet
in height will be permitted on the
graves. and the upkeep and main
tanance will be done without cost
TO the lot holders.
4 mausoleum will be erected in
the cemetery where interment of
bodies viii take place when the
ground is frozen too hard TO permit
the digging of graves. a chapel
VIII also re NullL on the EIOuubs.
To Form Corporation.
According To the plan submitted
10 the council, a corporation will
be formed 20 take the matter In
charge and will assume control of
all phases Of the work. Lots will
DE sold and 2 percent OF the gross
receipts OF the lot sale will be set
aside for maintenance and sus-
tanance fund. This money will be
placed i'm trust and the interest de
rived from it should more than take
care of the cost of the upkeep Of
the cemetery.
Several plans nave been discuss
ed. most OF them involving tracts
situated far from the old site. These
were looked upOn with disfayOT by
those backing the proposition be-
cause if a remote plat was accepted
the old burial ground would un-
doubtedIy be allowed 10 grow weeds
and unsightly shrubs and trees. BY
having both cemeteries together the
old one can be maintained at little
additional cost.
So crowded has been the old plat
that several bodies had To he tax

created.
Approve Work for Farmer
We approve the democratic admin
istration for having emphatically di-
rected attention for the first time to
the essential interests of agriculture
involved in far marketing and fin
ance. for creating the office of mar
kets and rural organization in con-
nection with the department of ag-
riculture and for extending the CO.

for the benefit of production, but also
