THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
The Democratic platform which
was adopted at St. Louis is the great
est masterpieces of American princi-
Piles ever promulgated since those
immortal democratic principals were
enunciated in the first inaugural ad-
dress of Thomas Jefferson, the creator
and founder Of the Democratic party.
The Democratic platform WAS writ
ten by '.man who knew" what he
WAS talking about; that man was
Woodrow Wilson, and he wrote prac-
tically every line Of 1t, except those
parts which set forth personal praise
for his great achievements. Every
voter in the United States ought to
read that great document, as no such
masterpiece has ever been set forth
by any political party in these United
States. One of the interesting planks
is that setting forth the achievement
of the Democratic party under Presi-
dent Wilson and reads In part as fol-
lows:
1--WE found our country hampered
by special privilege, a vicious tariff,
obsolete banking laws and an inelas-
tic currency. Our foreign affairs were
dominated by commercial interests
for their selfish ends. The Republi-
can party, despite repeated pledges,
was impotent to correct abuses which
1t has fostered. Under our adminis-
tration, under leadership which has
never faltered, these abuses have
been corrected and our people have
been freed therefrOm.
"Our archaic banking and currency
system, prolific of panic and disaster
under Republican administration
long the refuge Of the money trust
has been supplanted by the federal
reserve aot,a true democracy of credit
under government control, already
proved financial bulwark in world
crisis, mobilizing our resources, plac-
ing abundant credit at the disposal Of
legitimate industry and making cur
rency panics impossible in the future.
1--WE have created federal trade
commission to accommodate the per-
picking question arising under the
antitrust laws, SO that monopoly
may be '.strangled at its birth" and
legitimate industry encouraged. Fair
competition in business is now as
sured."

ocratic party has adjusted the tariff

GERMANY MAKES WAGE
SCALE FOR MANUFACTURE
49,. OF ARMY MATERIALS
(By Associated Press y

BERLIN, Feb. 21.-ln an effort
to see that workers, particularly
women, engaged in the manufacture
of army materials receive fair wages,
the government has imposed upon
contractors certain definite wages
which they are ordered to pay. Vio-
lations are followed by loss of con-
tracts, and sometimes severe penal
ties.
Notwithstanding the threatened
penalties, certain contractors perpet-
ually try in the most ingenious, pet
ty ways to sweat" their workers.
The women making straps for SOL
ders' TASKS, for instance, were or
derei put on a piece work basis of
Is pfennigs per strap. They previ-
ously had been paid a straight sum
per hour. One firm, II has now been
found, Immediately adjusted the
matter to its satisfaction by decree
ing privately that an hours work
should consist of stipulated num-
ber of straps-about twice normal
capacity-continued to pay by time,
and consequently continued to get
its straps made for seven and a half
pfennings apiece instead of Is.
A second firm was far more in
genious. 1t complied with the piece
work schedule and pays it's employees
10 pfennigs per strap--but it charges
them about half their wages for
heat, light and other similar items
which OF course were free under the
old schedule. There are now under
investigation a series of complaints
of similar nature.

the return movement of the thous-

movement since January has been alb

the banner season of the past several
years, and the handling of this vast
crowd will necessitate steady and ef-
flcient work on the part of the men
responsible for the business in this
section.
To secure as much business as pos
sible and to increase the solicitation

Gen. MANAGER royal
Of THE A. C.l.
DIED TODAY At
WILMINGTON NC.

w. N. Royal. for the past eight
years general manager of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad, died at his home
at Wilmington, N. c.. this morning,
after an illness covering a period of
two years. During the last two years
he was unable to give active atten-
tion to the work. but retained his title
as general manager until last Novem-
mebr. Mr.. Royal, who was 62 years
of age at the time Of his death, had
been in the service of the road since
he was 16 years of age, at which time
he was an operator at Florence, s. C.
He was later made yard-master at
Columbia. s. c.. and from there went
with the Charlotte, Columbia &
Augusta road as train master. In a
few years he returned to the Coast
Line as master of transportation at
Charleston, later being made superin-
.tendent of the Charleston Division.
From that position he stepped into
the chair of the general superintend-
ent Of the First Division, and his
crowning success came to him in 1907
when he was made general manager
of the entire system. His death will
be widely deplored, as all who knew
him held him in the highest esteem.

LEAP YEAR BOOMS MARRIAGE

New York, Feb. 21,-Leap year
has brought it's customary boom in
marriages. Not only in this city but
throughout the country it is reported
that more marriages have taken
place since the first of 1916 to date
than were recorded for the first three
months Of 1915. Women. taking ad-
vantage OF their quadrenniel privi-
lege of asking outright for the hand
and heart of their gentlemen friends,
have boosted the license statistics
enormously. The women who are
showing up in the statistics are
widows over thirty Many are mar
rying youngsters just turned 81. II
is predicted that the girls who have
never been married will begin to
bring in their leap year catch about
June. They do not seem to be so
hasty in catching the bird as do the
widows who have had had more ex-
perience. THE old sheep, they know
the road, but the young lambs must
find the way" goes the proverb. The
widows know that the bird of time
has but little way to fiutter. and
the bird Is on the wing. So they
bring in their catch and put the
matrimonial hobbies on him before
the crocus blooms. lest spring gets
into his blood and he kick up his
heels like the young colt he is. and
goes gamboling in pastures new.

BRYAN's FIRST INTRODUCTION
TO AN AUDIENCE

Mr.. Bryan says that the shortest
of the many introductions that he
has received was when he made his
maiden effort as a public speaker.
He had gone to remote part Of the
county to fill an appointment. He
was warned by big Irishman not
to weary the audience with long
winded speech, for he was in farm
ing community, and eggs were plen-
tiful. Just before going on the plat
form he was told by the Irishman
that he (the Irishman) was master
of ceremonies, and he wanted to
know what he would like for him
to say introducing him. Being a
young lawyer, and early appreciat-
ing the value of publicity, Mr.. Bry-
an said: "Just say, I take pleasure
in introducing Mr.. W. ]. Bryan, a
young lawyer Of Jacksonville. H. "
The Irishman, at the appointed time,
arose and said: Fellow citizens. Mr..
o,Brien will now spake."
