A REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The Republican convention at Cleveland wrote a Repub-
ican platform 1t mood to listen proposals of
neutrality-suspicious., frightened by destruction
lists. 1t is broad statement of principles which, in gen.
cra candidate might be proud go before the people,
and in particulars it contained panks which only
candidates we'll versed i'm the traditions of the party could
ask support.
1t expected that the LaFoette panks, though in
many respects harmless would be summary rejected They
not presented by delegates good faith Generally
speaking the LaFoee panks presented pledges which
should wreck the party hamsrng it's candidates. But
if the convention had adopted the panks delegates
would still shout that the candidates reactonary and
third party is necessary The convention displayed
mendabe rmness and perhaps political sagacy for there
is seldom permanent gain in vaciation
The convention met the World Court squarely and
satisfactorily If the Republican party returned power
it be expected that the troublesome question of Amer
cas relations to her neghbors will be solved The
ton took the only stand group of could consistently
take on the liquor questo stood for enforcement of the

A CANDIDATE GOING HIS
OWN WAY

Mr.. Burton's Keynote speech was
of course POLITICAL war-cry. 1t
had just one purpose-to help the
Republican carry the November
election.
That purpose would not be serve d
by entire frankness. 1t would not
be served by an unqualified state
ment that most of the Republican
leaders in both houses had ham
strung the Presidents policies. The
poets Of success in the election
would not be helped by an open
break at this time between the Presi-
dent and the congressional leaders.
But the truth that could not be
told with entire frankness could be
told with very thin disguise. AS,
for example, when Mr.. Burton said:
With some disappointment as
one whose public service has
been in u Legislative position,
truth compels me to say that by
far the greater share of our
citizenship looks to President
Coolidge rather than to Con-
gress for leadership.
And a similar rebuke shone through
the words which referred to the
passage of the bonus bill over the
Presidents veto:
While recognizing the in
estimable debt which the country
owes to those who fought in
the bloody contest of 1917 and
1918, and with satisfaction in
the thought that for insurance,
for the care of the injured and
the sick, and for their training
and betterment we are expend-
ing an amount which in one year
reached almost $45O,000,O0O,
there was substantial minor
ity in Congress who sought to
sustain the President.
There was a sting, too, when Mr..
Burton, in referring to the japanese
exclusion clause in the immigration
bill, said that at is to be regretted
that in the passage of the recent
bill the request of the President
for time for further negotiation
with Japan was refused"
The keynote address clearly re-
veals Mr.. Coolidge's tactics. He is
not picking fight with the Re-
publican "leaders who voted against
his policies. He is not assailing
them by name. He is not driving
them into position in which they
will lose all prestige unless they
definitely break with him.
No. Mr.. Coolidge is simply dis
sociating himself from the Republic
can members Of the Senate and the
House who hamstrung his policies.
Without saying SO directly, he is
informing the American people that
he is running as his own man.
If in the course of the campaign
there should be attacks on the record
of the Republican majority, Mr.
Coolidge need not answer. He has
answered already. Mr.. Burton's key
note speech is his answer. Mr..
Coolidge is not running on the
record of the Republican majority
in Congress. He is running on his
own record.--Chicago Journal of
Commerce.

An inexpensive undershot power
wheel which will run even when
wholly submerged and which is es.
pecially adapted for use in noun.

time ago by Salt Lake man. The
wheels source of power lies in the
fact that the blades fold on the

greater at all times on those below

thereby enabling it to run in water

made entirely of metal, may be of

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT

You have frightened me dread

uncompromising way of facing
facts, my dear. l had never owned
even to myself, that Karl Whitney
had paid out a small fortune to en-
able me to keep his pearls. Fifteen
thousand dollars! Jack will never
forgive me, particularly as sold
some of those stones to get him out
Of trouble. He will have the humil-
iation of feeling that man who
loved his wife has done this for him
I don't think can tell him about
the pearls, do you dear?
:. If do it will keep me very much
worried and unhappy, for, Ruth,
shall never feel safe with Alice
Isn't that a dreadful thing for one
to say about ones sister? However
I am sure it is true. I know that
Alice would sacrifice me tomorrow
if she thought it would not blast
her in Karl's eyes. She wants those
pearls that Karl gave me, notwith-
standing her own string is much
longer.
I'd be awfully glad to give them
back to her, for 1 don't want to
quarrel with her, and have an un-
easy feeling that those beads will
bring me unhappiness yet.
Queer, isn't it, that Karl Whitney
should have taken such way of
concentrating his regard for me
As you say, think he's had really
more Joy in collecting the pearls
and nursing what he considers an
unrequited love than he would have
done had I married him. He is a
dear, sweet thing, though, Ruth
and if you could see the way in
which he tries to make Alice happy
l am sure you would be as fond of
him as am. I would like to tell
him that if he did not give in to

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The next night when the moon was
as round as butter-ball, Johnny
Jump Up, the garden fairy, climbed
up the rose vine and hoped upon
the window-sill Of the room where
the Twins lay asleep.
Then blowing his cheeks out like
apples, he whistled shrilly.
Nancy and Nick woke up with a
jump. "Oh, ho! It's Johnny Jump
Up!" cried Nick, rolling out of bed
and rushing over to the jolly little
fairy man.
You're just right it is" said
Johnny Jump Up. "Me and nobody
else, and if you1l dress quickly, I'll
take you on another adventure. 1
have the magic shoes along"
So just as they had done before,
the Twins scrambled into their
clothes and put on the little green
shoes. And right away, just like
that, they shrank and shrank and
shrank until they weren't any big
ger than your two thumbs.
! Then all three of them climbed
down the rose vine into the garden.
The garden that the Twins played
in all day looked entirely different
now in the moonlight, and besides
the magic shoes opened the eyes of
the children to things they had
never seen before.

into houses, and all the daffodils
