DODGING ISSUES.

IT HE shallow sham of partisan politics was never bet
L ter illustrated tnan by the appointment OF per-
manent platform conference by the Republican National
Committee to receive suggestions from until the ma
tona convention meets for platform suggestions In
other words expedency instead of principles is to write
the platform.
The time was when the republican party did not have
to study conditions and offer prizes for campaign issues
but stood for principles when its platform wrote itself
and embodied politics vital to the countrys welfare That
time past because the politicians in control destitute
of conscience and conviction and less concerned with
the country's welfare than with spoils.
The only policy the republican politicians have had
the past year is to dscredt President Wilson, to bette
the winning Of the war; and by refusing enact recon
stction legislation and ratfy the peace treaty,
the spread of discomfort and economic unrest to
ate state of public mind that will insure republican
Hence the dodgng of issues and the ncessant ap
peal to racial anmosities and partisan prejudice.
Nor are the democratic politicians any better off
They have followed Wilson's leadership, not enthusiastic
ally from principle but from expediency Now that the
president has been stricken with Illness their division and
lack of Leadership apparent The democratic party
created to resist centastic tendencies to preserve nv
idual liberties guaranteed under the Bill of Rights and
these ideals still animate the rank and file of the party
but find echo among the democratic politicians whose
eyes are glued to the pie-counter.
AS at present organized, both parties have outlived
their usefulness because the professional politicians
concerned only with division of spoils and campaign
trbutions for their sham battle And this condition has
bred popular distrust in politicians and the time is ripe

like Chrict would q be among d the
bears and bulls of Wall street. Pro-
fcssor Kcyes in summing UP the sit.
uation in 1914, says in effect. ll,
"That the present civilization is
organized to secure the maximum
accumulation of capital, society bo-
ing so framed as to throw the great
er part Of the increased income into
the hands of those least likely to
consume it. In fact it was precisely
the inequality of the distribution of
wealth." which made possible those
vast accumulations of capital, neces-
sary to girdlc this globe with bands
of steel. In no other way could the
present industrial system have been
developed, and in this fact lies the
only justification of the present capi-
talistic system, which has monopo-
lized coal, oil and mineral resources
and exploited agriculture, until those
tilling the soil are the poorest class
on earth.
"If the rich had spent their new
found wealth on their own enjoy
ment the world would long ago
have found such a regime intoler-
able. But like bees they saved and
accumulated, not less to the advan-
tage of the whole community, be-
cause they themselves held narrower
ends in prospect"
Viewed in this light what of the
benefactions of Rockefeller, Carne-
gle and others? Moved by some
strange impulse they do not compre-
hend they seek to return their vast
horde into the common store for
the benefit of the human race. Car
negie's "to die rich is to die disgrace
ed" takes on a new meaning. The
developments of this age could never
have come, if wealth had been equi-
tably divided. Professor Keyes says
tha tthe railroads Of this world, no
less than the pyramids of Egypt,
were built as a monument to poster
ity, and that the labor engaged in the
railroad building was no more able to
consume the full equivalent of their
labor than the labor which built the
