THE MAN AND THE PLATFORM Reflecting as it does the statement of principles that will probably be made by the next national convention of the Republican party, the platform set forth by the Ohio State convention in connection with the designation of Mr. Taft as the choice of the Ohio state delegation is of supreme importance. Its chief characteristic is its lack of vagueness or reservation. At a time when every power is being brought to bear upon the party to name as its standard-bearer someone who will trim and pare the national policies, the Ohio Republicans avow the American principles that have done much to vitalize the industries of the country and to place the American flag in the fore among the standards of the nations. Mr. Taft has never equivocated. He has never sought to avoid declaration of his position upon any political principle. He does not continuance of its world march. Francis Cuttle, preside Riverside Water company just returned from a trip ington, where he went funds for the preservati forests of Southern While in Washington was told by Congressman that aid could probably through the agricultural propriation, which carri 000. Forester Pinchot three of the California natives encouraged Mr. Cuttle lieve that money will soon coming for reforestization es. Mr. Cuttle went to ton to talk with Senator Congressman Smith about congress to appropriate for fire trails and other including reforestation, on Bernardino Forest Reserv protects the water she headwaters of the Santa This stream furnishes w vast tract of fertile coun up to orange and lemon deciduous fruits, alfalfa, eral farming, and incid furnishes the domestic large part for such cities Bernardino, Colton, Core Ana, Orange, Anaheim, Lington, Elsinore, Hemet ers. The Santa Ana is most important river Mr. Taft has never equivocated. He has never sought to avoid declaration of his position upon any political principle. He does not do so now. The platform, that was largely of his framing or framed along the lines of his suggestion, is in every particular a reflection of the best and truest thought of the day. The principle of the square deal, that has come to be as much American as is the Monroe Doctrine, for instance, is stated in terms of justice, equality and fair dealing. To the working-man fair dealing will take the form of beneficial legislation; specifically, an employers' liability law that will stand the test of the courts and a modification of the use of the injunction to do away with manifest injustices that attend its invoking. The agricultural and industrial interests are considered in the indorsement of waterways, which involve, according to the accepted scheme as outlined by President Roosevelt, adequate irrigation and forestation. The merging of all public health agencies into a single board, which finds endorsement, is a measure of combination that has long been advocated by the surgeon general and by the best medical opinion. A ringing endorsement of an adequate navy and a much-needed merchant marine is also expressed. The declaration adverse to the restricted franchise system in force in some of the states, and endorsed for Maryland by the action of the state legislature, carries with it a recommendation for the lessening of the representation of such states. How will Governor J. Minnesota reconcile his that no man has a right side the constitution for pose, however beneficient admiration which every ocrat is supposed to ent Thomas Jefferson? Mr went far beyond the co when he made the Loui chase, if we recall our h rectly. Because Japan has world power she is bluff overgrown China. Chin ther the military est nor the funds to strike b fact, some people believe an now purposes to secu advantages of which she prived by the interferen powers after the Chinese war. Attorney General Bon nounces that he is wholly cerned regarding the nice epithets which are applied In that respect he is like ident who sees only evic his shots have told when Chancellor Day and other dorsement of an adequate navy and a much-needed merchant marine is also expressed. The declaration adverse to the restricted franchise system in force in some of the states, and endorsed for Maryland by the action of the state legislature, carries with it a recommendation for the lessening of the representation of such states in congress and in the electoral college. The speedy completion of the Panama Canal is looked to and the extension of the principle of self-government in the Philippines is declared for. The policies of President Roosevelt's administration are explicitly subscribed to: "We indorse his splendid administration, and declare that neither halt nor retreat shall be sounded in the march toward better government." Mr. Taft is placed in line for nomination upon a broadly national platform, untainted by socialism or radicalism. He stands for the conservation of all American interests. He is the sturdy exponent of law and government. He has shown a "genius for world peace and advancement." His qualities make him an ideal candidate. His nomination and subsequent election would be the best guarantee the country could have for the Attorney General Bonnounces that he is whole cerned regarding the nice epithets which are applied In that respect he is like ident who sees only evichis shots have told when Chancellor Day and other and villify him. An exchange remarks must not let the President that colleges act as a dematrimony or he may aducation.” Never fear The President will simply a tax on you for statifounded a fact. Most Americans will it prove true that the orence passed upon Generhas been commuted to imprisonment. And ye probably have been more to have shot him. It is no use for Emmons to complain that she is not to speak her mind. She four years in which to do out interruption from and if that has not s should go where there i BRYAN'S AUDACITY SEEN With characteristic audacity, Mr. Bryan has seized upon the plausible theory which is likely to be popular among a people who have not given the subject much thought. He identified himself sometime ago with a proposition for the guarantee of bank deposits. Reports are that this scheme is being seriously considered by some good people in both the democratic and republican parties. It will take a campaign of education to show these voters that insurance of deposits in a national bank means the bringing of all banks to the same level, and that it must necessarily put a premium not upon good banking but upon bad banking. Mr. Bryan's knows, as well as anyone else, that deposits would go to the bank which paid the biggest interest and that the crooked financier would bid high for deposits because he would know that in spite of his fraudulent methods other banks would have to protect his customers from loss. There is a plausibility about this proposition to guarantee bank deposits which many republican leaders recognize as extremely dangerous. Sixteen to one caught the fancy of the multitude because it seemed to promise cheap money and to be in the interest of the poor man as against the capitalist.. In the same way a fallacy like the insurance of deposits is more than likely to give the republicans trouble during the campaign. It is just as unsound in principle as the proposition to pay an honest debt with a 50 cent dollar, and yet it may take a good deal of education to convince some people of this fact. ROOSEVELT PLANKS IN PLATFORM As regards the inheritance tax, the declaration for waterway im- ROOSEVELT PLANKS IN PLATFORM As regards the inheritance tax, the declaration for waterway improvements, railroad regulation and valuation, and a certain measure of employer's liability, there is not much difference between the Bryan platform at Omaha and that which is now in process of consideration of adoption at Chicago. Whoever may be the nominee of the Republicans, there is no doubt whatever that the platform will contain a sweeping indorsement of President Roosevelt and all his economic activities. He has declared for an inheritance tax, is urging a new employer's liability law, has advocated the valuation of railroad property, and in pushing inland waterways improvement has been infinitely more active than Mr. Bryan or any of his party. On these questions the two parties will be in complete accord, therefore. It is evident that the three diverse issues of the campaign are to be free trade, the independence of the Philippines, and the insurance of bank deposits. The late Senator Ingalls once said that the difference between Senator Chandler of New Hampshire and a wasp was that a wasp had only one stinger. Ex-Senator Chandler is now trying to live up to his reputation. The longer the Fowler bill is before the country the fewer friends it has, except among the banks, who see in it a magnificent opportunity to make larger profits. Exchange remarks that, "We do not let the President know colleges act as a deterrent to tyranny or he may abolish edification." Never fear, brother. President will simply impose on you for stating so unjustly a fact. Americans will rejoice if we true that the death sentence upon General Stoessel been commuted to a year of punishment. And yet it would only have been more merciful than shot him. No use for Emma Goldmanplain that she is not allowed to her mind. She has had fears in which to do it with interruption from the police that has not sufficed she go where there is no time. The longer the Fowler bill is before the country the fewer friends it has, except among the banks, who see in it a magnificent opportunity to make larger profits. So far as one can judge from the platforms adopted in Ohio and Nebraska the lineup between the two parties for the next presidential campaign has been pretty clearly determined. It is positively known that Mr. Bryan wrote or dictated practically all of the Nebraska platform. The completeness of the Taft victory in Ohio renders it equally certain that there was nothing in the Ohio platform that was in any way distasteful to the secretary of war. Mr. Taft is not yet nominated, and he may never be, but he is sufficiently in advance of all the other candidates to make it fair to assume that the Ohio platform is at least a type of that which will be adopted at Chicago, just as the declaration agreed upon in Omaha foreshadows the platform to be adopted at Denver. When, after some terrible disaster such as occurred in the Collingwood school, the authorities make inquiries regarding local conditions and there is always some fool to say, "Oh, yes, lock the barn door after the horse is stolen." And yet is it not better to profit by such an experience than to wait until one occurs near home?
