ROB MILFORD STORE
Roy Milliman, Recently Out of Work

On Wednesday night last Roy Mill
man, who was recently released from
the Wcrkhouse for stealing an auto
mobile in New Castle county, and
bile in New Castle cunty, and whose
home is at Robbins, went to Mil
ford, saying, for the express pur-
pose of robbing some of the stores.
He loitered on he streets until about
10 o'clock, when he broke into the
store of the Pierce Hardware Com
pany, on South Walnut street. He
gained entrance by forcing open Vhe
Goor of the private office. He found
the office safe was not locked, but
contained a heavy iron box, which
he broke open and took $4O0 in Lib
eIty bonds and some small change.
Then he went out into the store
taking from there a handsome rifle
and somt shells, small flash light
and some shells, a small bash light
that he remained in the store until
o'clock before he returned to his
home. AS soon as the store was OPP
ened and the loss made known, Chief

ney soon got on Millman's tracks and
arrested him near his fathers home

property on his person. He was
taken before Justice HendricksOn and
committed to Georgetown Jail in de-
fault of $1,000 bail 1t is said that

HEAP OF WASTE TALK

There has been a great amount

ments in the Republican part rep
resented by the different aspirants
IT Chicago, forming an insurgent
movement to express their dissatis-
faction with the Republican plat
form or with the Republican nomi-
nee or with both. 1t is not worth Z
thought. No doubt dissatisfaction
exists; no doubt it is widespread
and deeprooted; but nowhere is
there a. leader with the moral
courage of Roosevelt, who refuses to
eompomise a principle, is not d
seeker fer spo:ls and prefers 10 face
the certain prospect of defeat rather
than be bossridden into a position
where his silence lends sanction to
false pretenses. In an assembly

ton touching the commonwealth

of hatred for the President of their

REPUBLICAN ATTITUDE ON CAP
TTAL AND LABOR QUESTION

We read in the Republican plat
form: There are two different con-
eeptions of the relations of capltai
and labor. The one is CONSTITUTIONAL
and emphasizes the diversity of in
terest of employer and empioye:
abe other is that of co-partnership
m a common task" But after this
interesting bit of trained consecu-
tive thinking we fail to find which
OF the two conceptions commences
itself to the Republican mind. We
cannot imagine it's high-powered
and perfectly equipped gearing 30
strained as to break down or clog at
this point: but something must have
happened to cut off the flow OF Wis
dom that was started ana DENY 10

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The Republicans are trying to in :
eerpret the meaning of their plat
form. 1t is a task that is not with
out its difficulties One does not
need to have been i'm the inner
eouncils at Chicago to be able to
discern that the platform on the
issues of the day, but on the con-
trary to conceal it, in order that
the Earring interests and conflicting
ideas assembled in the convention
might be held together long enough
20 select a nominal leader for the
coming campaign. Having success
fully served this purpose that plat
form should be discarded and an
other should be drawn to let the
people know what the Republican
party stands for this year. By pre-
tending the Chicago platform was
made for this latter purpose, in
stead of openly admitting it's real
purpose, and attempting to read
into it interpretations, to serve an
end not contemplated in the orig
iaal draft, will only add clumsiness
20 insincerity and thus endanger the
whole proceeding.
