Entered at the Post-Office ® at New York as Second-Class Mail Matter. * ¢ Yous€ «ips VOLUME 43.... -NO. 16,018. | + AIEEE No. é LICENSE TER NATIONAL MINE OWNERSHIP. ° Tt has remzined .for the Democratic party of the richest and most conservative State in the Union to In- sert in its platform a plank that would excite comment As a radical measure if favored by a Populist conven- tion of Kansas or the Dakotas. This plank, adopted at Saratoza by and with the advice and consent of the convention's master, Senator Hill, advocates “the na- tional ownership and operation of the anthracite coal) mines by the exercise of the right of eminent domain.” The most extreme expression of Republican centraliza- tion or Populistic socialism could not go further. Ts it meant in all seriousness or is it a device of cam- paign thunder to rattle momentarily in the ears of the unthinking while the evils of the coal strike are upper- nos; ‘in their minds? 1f so it is an unworthy appeal to unreasoning prejudice. It cannot be thought that Demo- cratic orators will be directed to give countenance to it on the stump. Its advocacy would be wholly contrary to Democratic vrecedent and subversive of Democratic principles. As the handiwork of a shrewd and experi- penced party manager and platform constructor the plank must be viewed as an extraordinary piece of un- | ‘ skilful carpentry. | PLAY MUMBLN PEG MLt RUN YEZ IN!

It is a timely rebuke of a|® tendency which even persons not strait-laced in their notions have been loath to approve. . ‘The idea seems first to have gained vogue at Chicago that a midway should be a place where visitors could momentarily lay asido thef# moral scruples to see and hear certain forms and exprespions of “spiciness,” otherwise plain nastiness, which they would not tol- erate elsewhere. it was a seductive idea and gained many votaries, but it has since gone to lengths not to be sanctioned. AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENTS. A big racing automobile in Central Park yesterday fMashed a runabout and hurt Miss Elizabeth Wood so sericusly that she may dle. ® The circumstances of the accident were such as have long since become familiar: The automobile came up quickly behind the runabout, its puffing frightening the horse, which jumped to one side, reared and then ran to the middle of the road directly in front of the ma: Naine.
