As the campaign progresses opportunity will offer for discussion of the democratic platform in detail. For the moment a little attention to some of its specific claims of achievement, con- trasted with actual performances will suffice. In the preamble to the document is found this sen- tence: “We challenge comparison of our record, our keeping of pledges and our constructive leg- islation with those of any party at any time.” To begin with, the Baltimore platform pledged its candidate to a single term; this promise has been kept by renominating Woodrow Wilson and Thomas R.

Look over your house- hold bills and see how this promise has been kept. Other pledges equally definite were similarly treated, and finally the plank that devoted the party most sacredly to the redemption of each of its promises was ignored entirely. The democratic record on achievement is just as well, or rather just as poorly, supported. The tariff was revised, but the principal effect of this revision was to produce a depression of business in 1913-14 such as moved the president to threaten to execute summarily whoever might be guilty of undertaking to start a panic. The present con- gress has amended that tariff law by restoring the duty on sugar, the principal necessity of life placed on the free list. The boasted banking law is but a modifica- tion of that drafted by Senator Aldrich, amended that the administration might claim credit for it. The utility’ of the federal trade commission, for which so much is claimed, remains to be es- tablished. Up to the present it has been chiefly useful in pointing out how the anti-trust laws may be evaded.” Congress has “lifted human labor from the category of commodities,” but the clause presumed to have accomplished that was inserted in the Clayton law by Senator Cummins, sup- ported by republican votes, and otherwise would have been defeated. Sufficient revenue has not been raised, the platform to the contrary notwithstanding, for where the republicans left a surplus of more than $85,000,000 in the treasury, the democrats reduced this to a deficit of more than $65,000,000 in less than eighteen months, and even with the most extraordinary of tax levies are only just now able to collect enough of income to meet the ordinary outgo, Other platform claims of the party are as shallow as these. The promises for the future are not so definitely worded as those made at Baltimore, but might have been, for the demo- crats will not be called on soon again to make good on any pledges. e e Bryan's Defense Not Happy. Mr. Bryan, being called before the St. Louis convention to defend the administration, and in- cidentally himself, was not especially happy in his utterances. Particularly is this true of his dealings with the Mexican muddle. Here Mr, Bryan was forced to set up a straw man and give over his energy to buffeting the dummy. No talk of annexation was ever heard on this side of the Mexican border from any responsible source, therefore failure to intervene in behalf of good order and for the protection of Americans on the score that such action meant annexation is-idle. What the people wanted was and is peace along the boundary, and. protection for Americans in Mexico and the United States. This Mr. Bryan did not provide. On the contrary, he pigeon- holed reports and petitions, declined to listen to appeals, and carried on intrigues with the “pa- triots” while they were in their full course of murder and rapine. He even dispatched a letter congratulating Pancho Villa on his accomplish- ments, The official course of this government in the Mexican mess is bad enough, and its record of secret meddling is a positive disgrace. It will take more than the honeyed eloquence of the late secretary of state to explain away this chapter of the Wilson career. . Silver Slipping Back. The price of silver bullion, which created a little flurry of interest a few wecks ago by an apparently sensational rise, seems to have ended its flight, and is now slipping back down the scale it so hurriedly mounted. Nothing unusual is noted in this; a suddenly increased request for the metal, incident to the unusual amount being coined by countries engaged in the war, en- hanced the price. Now that the immediate urg- ency of the need is satisfied, the price is slowly receding. Only the restoration of silver to a place in the monetary systems of the world will have the effect of permanently fixing its value anywhere near the “sacred ratio” of 16 to 1 with gold. Even with the greatly enlarged stocks of gold on hand, the proportional value of silver is less than it was in 1893, when the United States finally demonetized the white metal. This be- cause production of silver, contrary to general belief, has enormously increased. While many silver mines in the United States were shut down because of the fall in values, the general output of the metal has risen from 153,000,000 ounces in 1892 to 223,000,000 in 1913, and is estimated at above 200,000,000 ounces for 1915, Improved pro- cesses of metallurgy have lessened the cost as well as increased the output, and silver has been a source of considerable profit to the miner, even when sold at below 50 cents an ounce. How They Do Love Each Other. Nebraska democrats are certainly a loving lot, and they like to exhibit this affection on all occasions. St. Louis got a fine example of the harmony that prevailed in the fold when the Bryanites and the antis deadlocked over commit- tee selections, Now we have further proof of the concord among the brethren in the little mix- up between the Mullenites and the Dahlmanites. astic followers of a great cause, the symbol of which is pie, nor does the time. All they ask is to get close enough together, and they go at it The public doesn't care who got the tickets, Joe Butler or Arthur Mullen, nor will it make much difference if neither Mullen nor Newbranch go to the platform convention. Omaha would like to see the few democrats it has do their fighting at home, and not take up the time of great na- tional gatherings, and hold the world in waiting while they iron out their petty differences. Observers at the democratic convention noted the highly prosperous appearance of delegates and party boosters, Swell fronts were conspice uous, raiment fresh and fashionable, and a gen- eral air of high living and liberal spending pre- sented a marked contrast to the Yean and hungry aspect at Baltimore. The two pictures ranged side by side constitute an admirable tribute to the efficiency of the great American pie counter, The place doesn’t matter much to these enthusi- | As to a New Idea ‘Collier’s Weekly IT 1S difficult to be patient when a man who is accepted as a scholar and historian lapses into such inexact assertions as tife president did when he said in one of his so-called “landmark” speeches that “the republican party hasn't had a new idea for thirty years.” 1f we are to talk in such broad generalities as this at all, it' would be much nearer the truth to say that the democratic arty had not had a new idea for thirty years. he one new idea it has had was financial heresy, and that idea was promulgated. by the man whom Mr. Wilson appointed as chief of his cabinet. Maybe resistance to public dishonesty is not a “new idea” in Mr. Wilson's sense, but the re- ublican party’s successful resistance to Mr. gryin': free silver plank in 1896 was probably the most important moral achievement of recent civilization. Turning to other new ideas which have come into political discussion during the last forty years, some of which have been ¢ry§'alhzed into statutes, what ones have been contributed by the democratic party? What states have been most advanced in the prevention of child labor, in compensation to injured workmen, in all kinds of protection to labor? Republican states or democratic states? The one vivid fact that tells the whole story in detail is that there are just five states in xe Union which do not yet have compulsory education laws, which have not yet come to a;e belief that an education is a thing which society owes to the individual. These five states are southern democratic states. Their po- sition is typical of the democratic party. The direct primaries—indeed, all the movements toward greater and more effective participation of the people in public affairs—have come from re- ublicans. The idea of conservation was invented y republicans and given its first impetus by a repubrican president and a republican congress. The state regulation of railroads and other public utilities came from republican-sources and has made practically all its progress so far in re- ublican states through republican legislatures. ¥residant Wilson alluded to the new currency measure as a democratic idea. This would be ardonable in a slamwhanging political orator, Eut is not pardonable in a historian. The Ald- rich-Vreeland act, under which this country suc- cessfully defended itself against the emergency of war, was passed by a republican congress; moreover, the present banking and currency act, which happened to be passed by a democratic congress, was really invented and perfected by the republicans who preceded it. The truth is the geographical center of grav- ity of the democratic party is somewhere in the dense fastnesses of the Ozark mountains. Demo- cratic solidarity is greatest where illiteracy is most common, where public education is least regarded, and where all the attributes of modern civilization, material and spiritual, exist in the smallest degree. The causes of this, it must be said in fairness, are partly historical, partly due to economic crimes that go back for many gen- erations. Whiskers: In Hoc Signo 8t. Louls Globe Democrat GROWTH of hair on the face has always been held to be a sign of superior strength, for the reason, no doubt, that it distinguishes the stronger sex. Nobody ever has hinted that a man incapable of hair-growth on his face would be a man fit to trust in an emergency of any kind. He might hide such evidence of his masculinity with the aid of a razor, but if offering himself for the discharge of any important trust he had best to give a guarantee of manly qualification by letting nature speak in his face, with such modi- fications as his taste mainsumnt. The republic- an party, at least, has almost uniformly selected, for its presidential candidates, men willing to offer their country this pledge. hiskers, if we include mustaches in the meaning of that generic word, have waved in every republican administration but one. The party began running to whiskers before it got into the White House. Its first candidate, Fre- mont, was a bewhiskered soldier. Its second candidate and firet president, Lincoln, could not have won the hearts of the Illinois pioneers with a smooth face. Nearly 10,000 more Illinoisans preferred him before the smooth-shaven Douglas in the senatorial race in 1858, Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Lincoln in the presidency, but not by republican choice for that office, made an interregnum in a whiskered history, but after him came flowing tides of hair on the face. Grant's whiskers were famous, but less luxuriant than those of Hayes, coming after him, and the whisk- ers of Hayes were overshadowed i)y those of Gar- field. But for luxuriance, wavingness and mobil- ity of expression, the whiskers of Arthur trans- cended all others. True to its traditions, the party nominated the whiskered Blaine to succeed Ar- thur and even his defeat, the first party defeat in nearly a generation, did not shake republican faith in facial integuments, a faith that was justi- fied when, four years later, it nominated and elected Harrison. Its only smooth-faced candidate in sixty years has been McKinley, In renominating him it nominated the mustached Roosevelt for second place, and, after electing Roosevelt to first place, it nominated Taft, with a well-thatched upper lip. This year it again runs true tq form in the nomi- nation of Huzhu. The party is playing to the line of its old and long run of luck, with men whose faces carried pledges. The whiskers of Hughes rank with the best in the long republican presidential line. And this time the republican whisker is not called to face a democratic one, but a candidate whose face is as void of vegeta- tion as the mountains of the moon. In hoc signo vinces, People and Events The spirit of preparedness manifests itself in unlooked-for directions. A baby in a King family at Pittsburgh was born with eight teeth, four in the upper and lower jaws and Samsonian locks of raven black hair, New Jerseg lost $250,000 of state revenue from corporations by the operation of the reform laws known as Wilson's “seven sisters.” Many cor- porations shifted headquarters to more friendly states and left the Jersey state treasury to do the worrying. . According to the transfer tax appraisal filed in the New York surrogate court the late James R. Keene, financier and horseman, left an estate worth $1,062,539. Among the souvenirs sched- uled as valueless are loan notes of politicians and down-and-out race track sports. A breezy banker from California, C. F. Lang- Ieiy, gives Atlantic City a novel touch of financial high life. Instead of the usual long roll of the banking Erolenmn, Langley carries a package of his own bank bills in blank, and attaches his sig- nature to one or more as his necessities require. Much of his pleasure is derived from “manufac- turing” his money on the spot, to the amazement of the resort gawpers. The record of the automobile as a life-taker is now varied by a definite instance of life-saving. A woman at Hackensack, N. J,, who was in dan- er of being strangled by a walnut she had swal- lowed, was rushed toward a hospital in an auto- mobile. The bumping of the machine in cr a railroad dislodged the walnut and her life was saved.

Crete, Neb., June 16.—To the Editor of The Bee: May I take just a few lines to call attention to an existing law, that, while it was probably all right when it was made, has come to be little more thl!l a farce. I refer to the law covering appoint- ment of notaries public. The requirements of this law are such that almost anyone possessing the ability to write his own name can obtain a commis- sion as notary public. The liabilities he assumes are such that any of the regular bonding companies are willing to assume the risk on his bond of $2,000 for a period of six years for less than 85. The cost of obtaining such a commission is so small that no office having any notarial work at all can afford to be without a notary. There are eleven people working in one building which I have in mind, six of whom have notarial commissions. This proportion is not uncommon in the banks and law or real estate offices in this state. And to such as these do many of our people entrust the preparation of papers for real estate con- veyances, investment of funds, etc., simply because the average notary does not charge for his services. Is it any wonder, may I ask, that not more than one real estate title out of ten—I believe I could safely say a hundred—is without errors or discrepan- cies caused by failure of the notaries to do their duty. The value of our real estate is daily in- creasing and examiners of titles are daily becoming more and more strict in examina- tion of titles and quite frequently require certain action to be taken, costing heavily in time and money, which would have been avoided had the notary not failed in his duty. It seems to me that it is time for the appointment of notaries to be restricted to a certain number in each community aceord- ing to its population, and to those who are able to pass an examination showing a thor- ough knowledge of their duties. The liabil- ities he assumes should be specificially set out in the law as well as the fees he would be entitled to collect for the work, and he should be required to give sufficient bond to assure his careful attention to any work brought to him. I believe that such a law, carefully framed, and enforced, would eliminate a very large percentage of the troubles we now have with real estate titles. A READER. A City Hall Idea. Omaha, June 16.—To the Editor of The Bee: 1 was standing in front of the city hall yesterday wondering when the welcome arch would fall over, when I had a thought. I believe this is a valuable ides, so I thought I would let you have the benefit of this bright cerebration. It Is advertised that the city commissioners are going to spend $35,000 to remodel the city hall I have a better plan which I trust the com- missioners will carefully consider before they let loose of this big wad of the tax- payers’ hard-esrned money. (I am a tax- payer and citizen.) My plan would be to put in a little more money and rebuilt the first and second floors of the city hall so as to be rentable for commercial purposes and, if necessary, put some of the city of- fices in the court house. This annual rental from the two lower ffoors of the munieipal building would be quite s sum and more than pay back the investment. The details of this would have to be worked out, but it can be dome. Will the commissioners look into this? 1If they have the public weal at heart they will look my plan over first. 1 have thought of this until I am quite convinced of the feasibility of my scheme. What do you think of my {dea, Mr. Editor? E. L B. From a Disgusted Democrat. Plainview, Neb., June 16.—To the Editor of The Bee: Allow me to congratulate Charles Wooster of Silver Creek for his com- munication of June 14. I assure Mr. Wooster that he {s not the only democrat compelled to vote for Hughes this next fall, for there are thousands of others feeling the same way who have the same oplnion of Prof. Wilson's ability as a stateman and diplomat as Mr. Wooster has, only there are but a few who have the courage or ability to express themselves openly. Mr. Wooster brands Prof. Wilson “an educated fool.” This, of course, is & common expression, but I hold that education, if it is the right kind of an education, will take the foolishness out of a man, so I doubt that Prof. Wilson is an educated fool. I have often remarked “that Wilson has been digging his political grave a8 well for himself as for the democratic party,” so the convention in St. Louis is merely a preparation for the big funeral in November. I voted the democratie ticket for the first time in 1876 and have con- tinued to vote democratic ever since, but those undemocratic, unAmerican, unstates- manlike, unreaspnable acts during the pres- ent democratic administration are enough to knock any old decent democrat clear out of the box. The real democratic principles are good and sound, but the democrats, as a rule, neglect to elect men possessing ability enough to carry out these good and sound principles. H.

The trip took six hours and Mr. Greeley did it without a stop. TIPS ON HOME TOPICS.
