POLITICIANS PUZZLED;
BUILDING PLATFORMS
WITH TIME FOR ACTION NEAR
THEY FIND A TOUGH
lob ON HAND.

The donkey and the elephant can not
decide which pasture is the greenest.
In June and July these parties will
hold conventions at which their presl-
dental candidates will be nominated.
Time is flying, congress is arguing, and
party leaders admit they don't know
which way to turn.
Soldier bonus, tax reduction, immi-
grafton. the railroads and in a minor
way the XII Klux Klan are important
topics which must be considered. SO
lar there is nothing but public opinion
and the words of politicians to guide
the platform builders, and that opinion
is very well balanced.
No Hope in Congress.
Early in the year it was hoped that
congress would take some action on at
least one or two of these important
topics Of the day, and thus remove
them from the place they will hold IN
the coming elections. But congress,
in this respect, failed Only one bill
providing for a workshop IN the led
eral prison at LeavenWorth, Nan
has been passed.
Party platforms will nave to be made
soon, and it appears that the politicians
will have no official weather vanes to
guide them Such job is serious,
they agree. because it is conceded that
upon the party platform will depend
the fate of the presidential candidate
next November.

Judge Admits Is
FeaZed in Case
Naval Paymaster

Boston. Nov. 7.-Judge James A.
Lowell in federal district court today
declared himself baffied by a motion
presented by the government for the
dismissing of a suit brought by Lieu
tenant Thomas S. Wylly, L. s. ~. pay
master of the L. S. S. Cleveland. for
an order compelling him to pay HIM
self sums due him as naval pay but
withheld under a ruling of Comp
troller General J. r. McCarl The
case while similar to many brought
by naval officers in protest against
the comptroller-general' ruling. is
said to be unique in that Wylly APP
PEARS as PLAINTIFF and defendant both
In reserving his decision on the mo-
ton Judge Lowell remarked:
This case goes Solomon one better
As l recall he suggested cutting a
baby In two. In this cas- a man has
been cut in two and each part appears
for half of him. That is Solomon up
to date"
The ruling OF the comptroller gener-
al which is the basis of the action
compels naval officers to refund to the
government amounts formerly paid
them dnder the head Of "dependants'
allowances" Lieutenant Wylly in his
suit alleged that the ruling made it
impossible for him to pay himself the
amounts due him under his naval
rank. and that consequently he would
be compelled to go without pay for
months until the amount previously
received by him in "dependants' al
lowances" had been entirely refunded.
He made the comptroller general a
co-defendant in the action.
In its motion to dismiss the govern
ment maintained that the comptroller
general was without the jurisdiction
of the court.

papers congratulate the premier on
having shown fearlcsSneSs, independ-

tice press are careful to explain to
Mr.. Baldwin that they do not want
him to adopt Labor's platform: but
they declare that mere stability or
tranquility will not suffice. and they
hint at the same time that in the
distribution of the remaining gov
eminent posts some of the younger
and more advanced representatives
of the Conservative party should be
chosen.
