THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM,
(san Francisco Bulletin, Ind.)

(San Francisco Bulletin, Ind.)
Some clever pruning was done by
the subcommittee that framed the
platform of tie :i.~;c cratic party.
Whole branches were lopcd off, and
there was little grating of shoots
from an old Republican orchard.
lin palmer speech it may be said
that the platform as drafted is Il
skillful document. 1t is as remark
able for the things it does not say
as for those it says with n new cour-
age. Its silences are eloquent; but, all
things considered, they are not ma
tcrial.
The absence of any mention of TIN.

for the spirit Of compromise within
the party. The vets. in private, con-
scented to be, if not dry, at least quiet
in public. The drys were probably
satisfied that not even the Democratic
party could make the country much
drier.
AS compared with the Republican
platform, that of the Democrats is
commercially brief. 1t has about as

ON THE CONDUCT oNpEACE.

(Merccr County Bulletin.)
Miss Elizabeth Marbury, one Of the
delegates at large from New York to
the San Francisco convention is onr
of the most aggressive democrats in
the country. . She was prominent
figure in the San Francisco conven-
ton, always busy, always on the
offensive in behalf Of her candidate
or the policies which she advocated.
but always goodnatured about it,.
Miss Marbury, in n letter addressed
to the New York Times, employs this
significant language:
We as democrats have neither the
desire nor the intention of Offering
any apology to the American people
for the conduct of the war, but we
shall certainly demand of those repub-
leans who are in legislative control
Il detailed accounting of how they on
their side have been conducting peace.
1t seems to us that Miss Marbury
in the foregoing has hit the bulls
eye, and given Il most valuable hint
to the men managing the democratic
campaign.

~'"'Fi S'iiy a. u. MAIL.
Whatever else msy be said of him
ED there is much--Governor
James M. Cox has demonstrated that
he is n man of heart. He did that
when the news Of his nomination at
San Francisco was flashed to him in
his newspaper office at Dayton. The
news reports stated that us soon as
the Associated Press wires in the
Office of the governors newspaper
licked off the message that meant
nc had been made the recipient of the
highest honor within the gift of his
political party, he did these three
things: First, walked across the room
and kissed his wife; Second, walked a
few blocks TO the house of his most
intimate and trusted friend, man
81 years of age, to tell him the news I;
Third, made n pilgrimage to the
grave of his mother, who had lived
to see him inauguratcd governor of
Ohio.
1t has been said that man is to be
measured by the way he conducts
himself when success smiles upon
him, not when adversely comes and
weighs down like II mountain upon
his spirit. A man may bear up under
the CALLING burden of misfortune like
Christian martyr, and then utterly
crest OF some sudden and unexpected
wave of great success.
If in his moment of sweeping vic
tory and high honor the governor of
Ohio's first thought was of his wife,
his dearest friend and the little plot
out in the cemetery where his old
mother had laid down her weary but
proud form to rest-if these were the
thoughts that came first to his mind
and they were-then james M. Cox

THE DIFFERENCE OR DISTINC-
TION BETWEEN THE PARTIES.

In an attempt to answer the ques-
ton, What is the difference in this
campaign, between the two parties,
an effort was made to get the opin-
ions of number of leading poli-
ticians of both parties, as far rs
possible. Most Of the men approach
ed on the subject said they did not
know, or were too busy to think
about it. Some said that the Pace
Treaty and League of Nations, were
the only or main questions now
dividing the parties.
"rhe Democratic party favors the
ratification of the Peace Treaty
including the League of Nations
arranged by our regularly and legal
ly constituted delegates to the YER
sailles conference" says one good
Democrat, and goes on. "No objcc-
ton to clearly defining our under
standing Of responsibilities as n
member of the league if there is
ambiguity. If 4 league of the civil
lized nations of the world to pre-
ent war is right we should Join it.
If wrong we should stay out"
The Democratic Party has always
stood for the payment Of the burden
of taxation by those able to bear it
those who own the property and
enjoy the increase. The Republican
party has always put this burden on
the consumer"
The Democratic Party is and has
always been, the friend of labor. The
Republican party has fostered the
big trusts, and exploited labor"
Another man says. "chief differ
ence now is the League of Nations.
the Democratic platform is clear cut
on the question, the Republican is
vague and indefinite"
A good Republican says-"I am
not in favor of mixing up with
European nations. and pledging our
sons, to fight wars for foreign ma
tons"
Another Republican blames the
Democratic administration for the
high cost of living. When reminded
that the Republicans have been in
the majority since 1918, and the cost
of living has not come down, he had
no reply.
1.-THE difference now is, says an.
other, zone of pure politics. The ones
who are out want in"
Another answers in one word
Wilson"
Another says, 81 don't know-anv.
thing to beat. Wilson, seems to be
about the main object"
1.-THE Democratic Party is Pro-
gressive-looking forward, Senator
Harding Is reactionary. The Sena.
tors who brought about his nomina-
ton, are representatives of the Old
Guard, who want to return to the old
days of the trusts and the domino
ton Of big business. The Democratic
Party looks forward" Is the way
pnother man puts it.
The conclusion seems to be. that
Democrats will vote the Democratic
ticket, the Republicans, the Repub-
lican ticket, and ask no questions
Vote as the boss says vote. There
are some great and important cues
tions dividing the parties now. but
the rank land fileiknow little and care
less what these questions are. and
this is the gist of the matter-in
Tazewell, at least.

WHAT WILL THE BApTISTS DO?

Ninety-nine of every one hundred
Baptists in the South, is Democrat.
They always vote the ticket straight.
1t is doubtful if Democratic Pres
ident can be elected without the Bap-
fist vote in the South. The brethren
seem to be confronted with con-
dition hi the coming election. AT it's
recent annual meeting in Washing
ton, the Southern Baptist Convcn-
ton, representing millions of Bap-
fists, passed strong resolutions on
several matters, all involving
moral issues" viz-Prohibition, Di-
vorce and the League of Nations. 1t
was urged in Washington if not de-
manded, that these "moral issues" be
emphasized in a clear cut plank.
Champions of these causes were on
hnnd, and appeared before the San
Francisco Convention. On all these
three moral issues, Prohibition, Di-
vorce and League of Nations, the
convention snubbed the brethren. and
an fact, did just the opposite things.
Now, the question is, what will the
Baptist people, and the thousands of
others of the different denominations
do, who were in the same boat, when
election time comes around?
The reply is venturcd here, that
they will go right on and vote the
lDemocraict ticket, as they have al
ways done, enduring the ills they
have rather than fly to those they
know not of.

no split in the Democratic party"
William Jennings Bryan told ChicagJ
Democrats at the Iriquois Club ban
quet this evening.
Democrats" said Mr.. Bryan,
-"know the word split is not an ap-
propriate word to describe differen-
ces of opinion. The Democratic Par
ty is built upon the idea that no one
man thinks for everybody. The diff
ference between President Wilson and
myself is difference in method only,
and not difference in purpose. I
have agreed with the President upon
many things that perhaps it is just
as well we should differ on something

JUDGING CATTLE
IMPORTANT PART
OF CATTLEMAN'S
EDUCATION
Bulletin Which Gives In
structiOns In That Very
Important Feature OF
The Business

The art of judging is the founda-
tion of all beef cattle shows and is
also largely the means of determin-
ing the value Of cattle offered in pub
lie sales, says Farmers Bulletin No,
1868, Judging Beef Cattle" recently
issued by the United States Depart
menr of Agriculture. Each breed
er, therefore, to attain success in his
line must be good judge, so that he
can select and mate individuals to get
the best possible offspring. A thor
ough knowledge Of judging feeders,
for example, is important since pro-
fit in cattle feeding usually depends
upon buying animals of the right kind.
Without definite standards. stock
judging can not be successful. The
ideal beef type in the fat animal, to
cite another example, consists in a
low set body which is broad, deep, and
smooth, with straight lines and with
thick, even covering of firm flesh.
In addition to this general beef form
good quality indicated by hair, hide
and bone, together with general char
acter and style, are important, be-
cause they are an index to the quail
ity of the meat.
The bulletin mentioned takes up in
detail various phases of judging, to-
gether with an easily understood dis
cussion of the various types of ami
mails and the method of scoring them.

MEXICO CITY, January TO-
Fresh volcanic outbursts are reported
threatened in the stricken district
southwest of Jalapa, capital of the
state of Vera Cruz, where many thous
ands of people have been killed al
ready or rendered homeless by earth
quakes and volcanoes.
The volcano Confrede Perote, west
from Jalapa, is reported in official
government advices to be showing
signs of renewed activity, while the
crater San Miguel was reported still
belching smoke and lava;
Official advices tend to confirm
earlier reports of terrible loss of life
and property in the stricken area.
many hamlets have been demolished
completely, and only handfuls of their
population remain alive.
Late advices show that the city of
Jalapa suffered even worse than was
believed at first. Many public build
ings have been destroyed, including
the state and municipal palaces of
government, the municipal college,
and regimental barracks.
One village, it is said, was crushed
completely, when the hill near which
it was situated collapsed, literally
ourying the town.
in another place, according to gov
ernment advices, a lot of rebels were
Killed when the volcanic outburst des-
troyed their camp.
Great chasms opened in the earth
in many places they were 100 feet

favorite saint Zipazhua was swallow

ment dispatch, adding to the terror
of the sdperstitious Indians, who look
