Looking back, moreover, mem

tion at the Italian embassy back
in 1918 which was designed to
commemorate the birthday of
the Italian King and which de-
veloped into an impromptu
celebration of the signing of the
Armistice, the official world,

celebration last winter of the
birthdays of Secretary Hughes,
Secretary Weeks and Congress
man Samuel E.. Winslow, of
Massachusetts,, which took the
form Of a dinner at the Win
slows, with the President and
Mrs. Harding as honor guests.
The dinner which the Brazilian
Ambassador, DR.. Domicio da

much time as he possibly could

the peoples birthday gift.

THE Mikado's birthday celebra-

Judge Tom owen splashed into the guberna-
toruI pond "offIcially"--or would II be better to
any formally--the past week and announced
his platform. Briefly the owen platform is as
follows
For better law enforcement and against nu-
merous pardons and paroles
Favors a pardonng board
Economy in government.
Better taxation methods and honest expendl-
ture OF the public funds
Less politics In educational matters
The adoption Of the budget system.
A qualified stand against cxempting any FORM
of property from taxation.
Criticism Of the judicial system but no plan
for reforming It,
That about covers the structure. 1t IL what
might he called a model platform from the
standpoint OF a candidate willing to be all things
to all mon. One point in particular stands out
as deserving strong approval were it not for the
fact that the paragraph treating the subject Is
susceptible Of most any interpretations that is
tho reference to exemptlng any form Of prop
crty from taxation.
with this exception the platform Ia almost
identical with every democratic platform since
statehood. II II piatitudlnous to a degree And
the average voter viii scarcely fail To ask him
self why democratic candidates should continue
TO declare for law enforcement less pardons
and paroles more economy In government, less
politics In the educational system the adoption
OF a budget system ana In favor OF less OK
penslve and more efficient judicial system,
since that party has had Is years IN which to
bring about these reforms and has egrcgiously
failed To do so.

world leadership he coveted for the United

enough to understand why the other nations OF

Wilson and II was this blindness to consc-
