CRAFTSMANSHIP!
People speak easily of craftsmen and crafts
manship; but every good mechanic is not a
craftsman.
Craftsmanship is the individual creation of
useful things in a beautiful way.
To attain craftsmanship one must know the
relation of parts to the whole; must have a com
plete conception; must be ablj to image forth an
idea, and must be so skilled as to reach close to
perfection.

The democratic platform might
fittingly be read, at Fourth of July
celebrations, in connection with the
Declaration of Independence. It is
animated by the same lofty ideal
ism, the same spirit of triumphant
Americanism. It heralds the com
ing of a new Fourth of July that all
the world will some day celebrate.
Circulated in connection with the
impressive keynote speech of Chair
man Cummings, it is a sufficient
canmaien text book for the demo
cratic ticket. Speech and platform
tell convincingly the story of demo
cratic service for the republic and
for civilization since 1912. They
convey in plain terms the democrat
ic promise of performance for the
future, backed by that record. And
they reveal the spirit in which the
democratic party goes forth to Dat-
tie.
The platform was not made for
a section, or for a class, or for a
race, but tor ine repuDiic.
It is in no respect a radical pro
nouncement. But it is in every re
spect a progressive one. It speaks
for a nartv of voters who, while
they are not neglected or destructive
of the material interests of the
country, nevertheless put principle
ahead of materialism, and. are in
spired by an idealistic and humani
tarian oumose. But though their
heads may Dierce the" skies, their
feet are planted firmly on the ground.
They did not emit a platform of fads
or follies or isms. There is nothing
half-baked" about It. Its progre-
sivism is American, not Russian or
Marxian. It is a platform of men
who have learned in nearly eight
years of tremendous experience
what responsibility is. It is a plat
form of men who realize that thU
is a government of .and for all of th!
people and" not merely a part of the
people, and that the - constitution,
with its rulei for a democratic re-
rublic. is at once its shield anl its
anchor.
It is a platform that should and
will appeal strongly to the woman
hood of the republic, to the farmers,
to labor, to honest and legitimate
business, to the profound sentiment
for peace, to men and women of good
will everywhere.
Throughout its warp and woof it
is distinguished from the republican
platform which is the utterance of a
timid and sordid materialism.
But most of all it is distinguished
because it holds on high the banner
of America's splendid ideals that
converted the world war" from a
shamble, to a consecration.
There is none of the spirit of sur
render here, of apology, of hesitency,
of recreancy. There is no forgetting
of those who sleep among the pop
pies of Flanders Field, nor of what it
was they strove bravely for, and
suffered and died. There is no cal
lous indifference to the sobs of the
mothers who sent their sons to die
under alien skies, nor to the pray
ers of earth to spare their sons a
like fate.
The voice of the democratic plat
form is for peace and humanity and
progress for justice and liberty for
all men in all lands everywhere,
the same as it was when the can
non were throbbing the death lists
carried woe unspeakable to millions
of homes throughout a devastated
earth.
The democratic party stands In
peace where it stood in war for the
brave and devoted invoking of the
true principles of democracy for tne
safety and honor of the republic and
the salvation of the world. For such
a platform men and women can
fight with a smile on their lips and a
glow in their hearts. World-Herald.
WHY THEY'RE FOR WILSON
If anyone supposed that a serious
divergence of opinion existed among
democrats in appraisal of the major
acts of the Wilson administration he
has a sufficient answer in the demon
strations of, enthusiasm which have
occurred on the first two days of the
San Francisco convention. None
but a president tremendously popu
lar with the rank and file of his
party could receive such evidences
of loyalty. So far the president's
control", of the convention amounts
merely to this; that the delegates
there assembled from every part of
the union recognize that in Mr. Wil
son the party has given to the nation
a man whose statesmanlike qualities
have made him a worl dfigure.
Thi3 is the distinguishing feature
of the opening days" of the conven
tion. The president will be given
the kind of'platform he wants. He
could have the nominee he wanted
if he cared to make his wishes
known in this respect.
It is significant that the president
who has heaped on his head more
partisan abuse than given any other
president since Lincoln, thus holds
the affections and' the confidence of
tne mass or his party at the. very
moment when the slanders of his
opponents are most virulent and ac
tive. Democrats have had differ
ences with"he president and will
continue to have them, but when a
group of them gets together, each
representing a section of his country
and of his party, they find them
selves in complete harmony touch
ing the major acts of the adminis
tration.
Finding fault is the easiest of po
litical activities. It is an evidence
of democracy that citizens do their
own thinking, even when it runs
counter to accepted doctrine. The
president has been in the midst of
I world events, a leader in interna
tional councils. For months his
health was seriously affected. Ne
cessarily he was for long out of per
sonal touch with men and events in
his own party. He has been the
handy target for the opposition
party hungry for the spoils of office
For more than a year the president
has been the victim of a well
financed, well-managed, , unscrupu
lous campaign of belittlement, de
traction and slander all for the
purpose of putting a republican
president in the White house next
March.
The country knows the character
cf the fight that has been waged to
discredit the president. It knows
that the achievement! of the pre
sent administration have reflected
undying credit upon America and
upon the chief executive responsible
for them. It knows that, as com
pared with these accomplishments,
the failures of the Wilson regime,
have been negligible and willl soon
be forgotten.
Realization of these facts makes
Wilson shouters of the delegates at
San Francisco. This convention is
dealing with world issues. It is
covering a review In the events of a
regime destined to live in American
history. Cleveland Plain Dealer.
