Democratic Party Platform.

The Democratic State Committee, m

to selecting the dates for the Democratic
State Convention and the prerequisite
primaries Tuesday, May 25, for the
convention and Saturday, May %, for the

the convention. This committee consists
Of United States Senator Josiah Wolcott,
chairman, former United States Senator
Willard Salisbury, Peter J. Ford, Freder-
ick Brady. Henry Ridgely, Andrew j.
Lynch and James NJ. Tunnel.
This committee was selected by Chair
man Henry R. Isaacs OF the State commit

that he is deserving Of commendation. for
such admirable selections. They represent
the party most thoroughly, in respect of
ability, comurehonsion Of public issues.

This committee will have = most IN

upon the scope and extent Of the plat
form that should be presented by Della
ware Democrats at this time in view Of
the fact that only the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, soon to assemble. will
have authority TO speak for the Demo
cratic party Of the country. But It is a
fact that the Democrats of the respective
States have . very material concern In
the character and expression OF their

may be wisdom as well as benefit i'll Civ

upon this important subject, through their
representatives in State conventions as
sembled And in addition to the propr;ety
of such acton, the deliverancos Of the
State conventions may afford valuable

national platform of the party.

THE ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA.

California. will soon have another
primary. As IN 1916, Mr.. Johnson rs
again a candidate. This time the good
Republican he desires to overwhelm is
Herbert Hoover. As Mr.. Taft has point
ed out, there can be no trouble in deciding
which of the two has the better record for
regularity" Herbert Hoover never ran
against the Republican national ticket,
and so caused its defeat; and he never was
elected Senator for a State that brought
about the sensational knitting Of another
national Republican ticket. Yet Johnson
had q big hand in the defeat of two sue
cessiye Republican Presidential candidates
So those who believe in the good old
Republican name and tradition should
have no difficulty in making a choice.
Those of Progressive tendencies have
choice between a candidate who has
always been Progressive Republican
and has proven his "progessiveness"
by his works; and another candidate
who once bore the progressive" label.
but who is now vigorously supported by
every unprogressiVe element in his own
State which he once fought, denounced
and drove from power. Hoover has at
all events not capltulated to sinister
forces which he previously arraigned.
There is something SO fiagrantly in
decent in this unnatural Crocker-Johnson
alliance IN California that it is not too
much 10 expect that the moral stomach
of so intelligent State will revolt and that
the clean candidature Of Cahforma's
most famous adopted son will profit.

IInmixing Railroads and Coal.

OF unusual interest was the decision of
the United States Supreme Court, this
week. ordering complete separation of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad
from its coal properties and from the
Central Railroad of New Jersey and also
the separation of the coal properties con-
trolled by the latter company. In ac-
similar to previous decisions rendered in
actions brought under the Sherman Anti
Trust law, these railroads must. respective
ly. attend to railroad business alone and
dispose of their coal interests This they
will do. in all probability, at least in ae-
cord with recent precedent, by having
''melon cutting ng'-that is. dividing their
coal stock holdings among their railroad
stockholders.
The decision is most interesting IN that
it recalls-most vividly to those of mature
years-the great controversy that ragged
when b. Frank Gowen pres d mt OF the
Philadelphia & Reading Rail- old Co, en-
red II, o the coal speculation. He was
denounced rs visionary and 1t was pre-
dicted his loading of the Reading with
the coal mine encumbrances would wreck
the railroad. And so il did for long
time. because the railroad could not oper-
ate the coal properties to an extent that
made profits possible. Reading was at n
low obb for many years: but then came
the change. Coal put the Reading ON
sound financial feet and brought large
profit to the railroad company and its
stockholders. And nov the 'melon'
that is to be cut and distributed is OF
enormous size and luscious ''iuiciness.
There is still another interesting feature
of this order of dissolution. 1t is that the
present Constitution of Pennsylvania. IN
existence now for nearly forty years, ex-
presslv prohibits the very combination
of railroad and coal which the Reading
entered upon SO extensively. But no
Legislature ever enacted law to enforce
or penalize violations of this provision,
and the Illegal transaction was entered
upon and continued with impunity. And
so il was that in the end proceedings in the
United States courts had TO be rosorted to
in order to bring to book railroad corpora
tions which had deliberately violated the
nlain mandate of the Constitution of the
State from which they derived their cor
porate powers.

WHERE ovERALLs ARE NEEDED.

]. W. Coverdale, secretary of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
sounds n solemn warning that the United
States is facing serious food shortage.
The situation is no less serious because
il will not reach the critical stage immediate
~. But when the shortage becomes
really acute no relief will he possible.
Those best informed in such matters
have for some time realized that unless
something be done to increase food pro-
duction this summer the country will find
itself without adequate food supplies
next winter. Potatoes are now selling at
from Sl6 TO Sl7 barrel at Wallabout
Market, and it Is predicted that theprice
will soar to S20within two weeks. The
supply Of Long Island potatoes IS practl
cally exhausted. What this means 30 the
average household can readily be under
stood.
But this is not the worst of IL Seed
potatoes are now 50 high and so hard
10 get that ahe next crop is threatened.
Farmers have been tempted by high
prices to sell seed potatoes. Others have
been unable to buy all they need. Fer
tihzer is sky high and difficult TO obtain
IN sufficient quantities. while farm labor
is unattainable at the highest wage level
ever established.

TALON formed during the war is as badly
needed ON Long Island as it was during
hostilities The same may be said Of the
need for war gardens. Unless unusual
efforts are made in the next few weeks 10

THE FIRST TEE GOLFER.

II takes all sorts of men, ] know, to make

most of them are fine,
1t makes no difference how they play, l

But there IS one golfer that ] shun, he holds
no charm for me
The golfing shark who wins his games right
on the starting tee.
Some men there are will play for fun, and
some for exercise,
Some hold that in battle grim the Joy
of golhng lies.
But there's one man IN every crowd who
finds no thrill within
The Royal and the Ancient game unless
he's sure to win.
And so he argues long for strokes, from
Is down to three,
And has the match decided ere ball has
left the tee.
He's always sadly of his play, or very
tired or i'll,
With him IL is game Of strokes, and not
game of skill
How many do ! get today" his rivals
hear him roar,
And if they offer six or seven, he wrangles
long for more
He will not take chance himself, his
fight for victory
Is never made upon the course, but on
the starting tee.
Oh, LET me play with hundred men or
spend my days with dubs,
| will not care so long as they seek victory
with their clubs.
| care not who the golfer be. nor what his
swing or stance,
Tllplay with him if only he gives every man

But III pass up forevermore that crank.

PRESS COMMENTS.
NEED OF STATE POLICE FORCE.

Automobile bandits have become fa-
miIiar figures in the United States during
the last year or so, and 1t has not been
many weeks since they startled Baltimore
by an audaeious robbery in broad day
light and almost within sight of police
headquarters. But In spite OF the TACT
that desperadoes of this type are no longer
novelties, the bank robbery and tragedy
at Sandy Spring, Md, cause almost the
nervous shock that belongs TO the un-
expected, and excite the horror and alarm
of new and unprecedented form of crime.
We have escaped rather easily IN Mary
land, compared with some other sections,
from the postwar outlaw wave that has
been sweeping over the country and such
an occurrence as that at Sandy Spring
shakes us, as by a sudden explosion, out OF
fancied security. Upon one OF the most
peaceful villages in the State, the center
of community of Friends who have
helped by their kindly and thrifty methods
To make their section one of the most pro-
gressive and desirable in Maryland mur-
der and rapine suddenly descend and do
their work with no one to interfere no one
to pursue Immediately.
What is evident now is what ought to
have been evident before, in the light OF
general conditions. and that is that we
need some ADDITIONAL form ol ponce pro-
lection. The output OF daring and in
genious criminals seems to have doubled
or trebled during the troubled months
since the armisticc. and there has been
little or no increase III protective agencies.
Indeed. while the underworld has been
recruiting its ranks with new specialists in
violence and cunning, the ordinary police
agencies appear, in many instances, to
have grown stupid and inefficient The
Arniger robbery in this city pointed
plainly enough to the necessity Of i'm
creased police vigilance and capacity in
Baltimore The shocking bank robbery
at Sandy Spring points even more plainly
aud coneusivcly to the need OF State
police force, so selected. organized and
officered as 20 meet such a situation as the
present, or such emergencies as may de-
velop in the future.--Baltimorc Sun.
