SheIdOn's Platform.

Geo. M. Sheldon, the TOmahaWk
candidate for congress, added another
paper to his list of supporters last
week in the Rusk County Journal. It
recommends him on grounds of gener-
al fitness, and because of the fact that
he halls from part of the district
never heretofore represented. For
the benefit of our readers inclined to
Mr.. Sheldon's way of thinking, we
publish his platform below:
''In this country today there is for
every individual and for every politi-
cal party but one supreme duty, and
that is TO WIN THE WAR. / believe
that u permanent and lasting peace
depends upon a COMPLETE VICTORY
for the allied armies.
s'To win the war it is advisable to
mobilize the entire effective man
power and the whole industrial re-
sources of the country. / favor an
amendment to the CONSUMPTION act
so that it will include all available
men between the ages of bwenty-one
and fifty and i believe that the work
or fight regulation should be extend
ed to the limit.
81 favor immediate action on Presi-
dent Wilson's recommendation for a
revision of the revenue laws, and /
believe that there should be absorbed
by taxation for war purposes as large
a proportion of excess profits as is
taken by our ally Great Britain.
81 favor the suspension of all nom
essential industries during the war in
order that our entire energies may be
devoted to war purposes. / refer by
snon-essential' industries particularly
to the liquor traffic ::and would vote,
if elected to congress, to forbid the
use of foodstuffs for the manufacture
of intoxicants during the war.
IT favor giving to women the right
to vote by federal enactment.
II believe that commission should
be appointed at once to formulate and
recommend to congress an after-the-
war industrial program"

SOLDIERS TRAVEL FREE

Plea For Boys In Khaki.
Would Be Good Plan.

1t has been necessary to raise rail-
road rates. In war time this neces-
sity has met with little protest Tt
works some hardships, it is true, but
people expect hardship when the
country is engaged in great strug-
gle for democracy.
But it seems too much to impose an
added burden on the men who are
now training to go to France to do
the fighting. Every week thousands
of men in the environments are given
liberty for visit to their homes. The
great majority of them want to go
home, and their officers always re-
quest them to go home il possible.
But with the increased railroad fares
this is often out of the question.
The soldier has little money to
spend. Half of his pay goes to his
dependents, if he has any, and most
of the men in khaki are helping to
care for some of those left behind. Of
the fifteen dollars that is left there
remains not enough for trips to
homes, many of them so distant that
the carfare is very considerable
item.
These men are the mainstay of the
nation just now. They are ready, if
necessary, to give the last measure of
devotion to their country. They have
left home, employment, friends, will
ingly, in order that the war may be
won.
This is a great service to the coun-
try. And we believe the country
ought to acknowledge it. Congress
would be doing a patriotic service if
it enacted a law exempting soldiers
and sailors, homeward bound, or re-
turning from visits at home, from
paying railroad fares. If memory
serves US, this was done for a time in
the subway in New York, and this
was greatly appreciated by the sol
diers. Why it was not continued we
do not know But the subway is not
controlled or operated by the govern
ment, and it's service to the soldiers
and sailors can be discontinued at the
will Of it's board of directors.
The railroads are controlled, tempo
rarily at least, by the government.
The government can suspend fares to
the nations defenders. 1t has the
power to do so through an act of con-
gress. Such an act should be passed.
as long as the war continues the can
tonments will be filled with men.
New levies are made every year under
the CONSUMPTION act. More and more
men in uniform are using the rail-
roads to go to and from their homes,
making the last visits before they sail
for France. These men ought to be
the guests of the nation. They ought
to be given every opportunity to save
money. And we believe the loss in
revenues would not be great enough
to count if they were carried free on
railroads at least while going to and
from their homeS.-NEw YORK EVE
