Today JT ell, It's Coolidge The Platform Is Done. I Here, It's Boiled Dotcn. It Won't Frighten You. ^ By ARTHUR BRISBANE j Mr. Coolidge is nominated to suc ceed himself. The convention cheered for 20 minutes, a long cheer. The band helped as usual. You should know, when you read this, who is to be vice president. As this is written, Senator Kenyon, ex-Governor Lowden and Congressman Sanders of Indiana have been put. in nomination. Loud applause for Sanders. He is sup posed to be the Coolidge dark horse. The republican platform, only six columns long, will be read through by 10,000,000 out of 100, 000,000 persons perhaps. The republicans lead their ace, reminding voters that in 1921, when republicans followed democrats in power, there were 4,500,000 men unemployed in the United States. Moral: If you want to be out of a job vote for a democrat. Next comes economy, money sav ins. Thanks to Secretary Mellon, the republicans have something to brag about there. There is justified crowing about “finance and taxation.” Again Mellon, not the republican party, deserves the credit. One thousand, two hundred and fifty millions a year have been cut off the nation’s taxation. That will please the prosperous. The national debt has been reduced $2,500,000, 000. That pleases everybody. Under “foreign relations” un necessary words are used to say that the republicans propose to mix this country in the world court. We are to join, yet without getting quite in it. We are to urge cutting down land armies, use of submarines and poison gas. Meanwhile, fortunately, our chemists are studying poison gas carefully. If we have any sense we shall build'many submarines. This country, more than any other, needs submarines. Under “foreign debts” the repub licans brag a little about the Eng lish arranging to pay what they owe us. England deserves credit there, not the republicans. The tariff is praised, boomed, promoted and endorsed, as it ought to be. This country can’t continue prosperous and compete with China or Europe, whether in labor, finance, manufacturers or anything else, ex cept perhaps automobile building. We seem to understand that. The farmer gets many kind words, but little solid nourishment. The republicans promise “to place the agricultural interests of America on a basis of economic pquality with other industry to assure its pros perity and success.” That might sound all right, set to music, but it doesn’t mean much. The republicans don’t say: “We promise to do for you farmers what * we do for the railroads. Whenever you need any more money we will give it to you, and by special leg islation we shall force the public to pay high enough price to guar antee you a good return on your in vestment and your work.” Under “labor” the platform says nothing, in a few hundred, words. Under “world war veterans” you read nice platitudes. The poor re publicans can’t brag about giving the soldiers the bonus, although a republican-congress did it—because of the fact a republican president vetoed it. Under “conservation” the repub licans say' they helieve in “effective, efficient conservation, whether of oil, timber, coal or water power.” It must have taken some courage to write in that word “oil.” In the paragraph about, "univer sal mobilization in war-time,” the government is careful not to say “if another war comes we shall be gin conscripting money cn the day we conscript the first soldier.” There is a big "if” paragraph on the Philippine*. If they are fit for it, and if they want it, and if the time comes, then the Philippines shall be free. In the paragraph about reclama tion, generalizing or irrigating arid and semi-arid lands nothing definite ► is promised. Nothing, for instance, ' about the thingh that ought to be done now—utilization of the power and water of the Colorado river. Only four lines are devoted to commercial aviation, the most im portant thing in our national de fense. Our protection in war will depend upon the number of trained flying men and flying machines. There is an old-fashioned, very mild paragraph about “the negro.” And there are two solemn para graps about "law and order,” be ginning “we must have respect for law.” But there isn’t a word about the Ku Klux Klan. Having heard from Indiana, Ohio, and some other places, the republicans decide to skate around that hole in the politi cal ice. Women delegates are congratu lated. The republican party says to them, "Come and sit on papa’s lap. It doesn’t quite know what to say after that. It ought to say "We wish we had more women in politics, for women are more honest than men. And the kind of politics we are having now, needs honesty more than anything else.” The republican party affirms “un yielding devotion to the constitu tion,” adds a few lines on party responsibility, pointing out, of course, that the only responsible party is the republican party, and that’s all. There isn’t anything in that nlat . form to frighten anybody, notning r’* to cause excitement, nothing to in. * dicate that anybody in power in the republican party believes that there have been important changes in the world since 1914. The democratic party will now proceed to give you as close as pos sible an imitation of the republican platform. (Copsrlsbt, 1*24.> Luxury Tax Cut to Aid Consumer New Revenue Art lowers Cost of Jewelry, Candy, Automobiles. The amended revenue, act whtcl) goes fnto effect July 3 will be -of benefit to consumers, for It will re lieve special taxes on theater tickets, beverages. Jewelry, candy, automo biles and telephone and telegraph mes sages. The federal tax is removed on tele graph tolls, which was 15 cents 014 messages exceeding 3(1 cents.

The tax remains 1 cent on each 10 cents or fraction If the price is over 50 cents. WIFE TOOK CHILD; MARRIED ANOTHER A little more than a year of married life sufficpd Moliie Flanchek, her hus band, David, 4520 South Twenty-fifth street, testified in domestic relations court, where he was granted a di vorce Friday. They were wedded in 1912 and the next year she went with their infant child for a visit with her parents In Europe. "I sent her money and wrote her to come back," he testified. "The war broke out and again I wrote begging her to come and sent her money. Later came a letter from my brother, telling me she had gone to Germany and had married another man. I don't know where she and my child are now.” Hail Damages Gardens. David City. Neh., June 13.—Strong wind and hail that accompanied the Thursday rain here played havoc with small garden truck and slightly dam aged some field crops. Adele Garrison “My Husband’* Love” \_: The Injunction With Which Kath erine Sent Madge on Her Way. Katherine's query concerning my preparedness to intimidate Mamie if she should prove obstreperous, start led me into a shame faced confession. "I have that little silencer revol ver which Lillian gave me,” I whis pered. and then flushed scarlet at the absurdity of the confession. But Katherine evidently saw’ noth ing odd in my statement. "I'm so relieved,” she whispered hack. "I was afraid you might be foolhardy enough to start without some means of bringing the young woman to terms if she turned ugly. There'll be no danger after you get into the suburbs for she won’t court attracting any attention to herself But along (he lonely stretches of road you'd better drive with only one hand on the whell." "There'll he no danger anywhere.” I asserted stoutly. "I’m not taking the thing on arcount of Mamie, hut because—” "Of the possibility of bootleggers on the road. Katherine finished with a smile that was distinctly pro voking. although l think she did not mean to tease. "Well, you may need it in that direction at that. But goodby, dear girl, and telephone me as soon as you possibly can after you get In. And when you think I’m fussy and old-womanish—just remem ber you have—never mind—I don't mean anything. Good hunting:1’ Mamie Is Sullen. She kissed me warmly, and helped me put the suitcases with the furs in the tonneau. Mamie watched the proceedings "Where do you want me to sit?" she asked with apparent meekness. “In the back?" "No.” I responded promptly. “Right here in front with me.” "Suppose the doors come open, with nobody hack there. Won t the suitcase fall out?" Unconsciously, she had given me the cue I wished. "The doors won't come open," I re turned with assurance. "But to make doubly sure, I'll have you sit in such a position that you can watch them. Come up her and I'll show you what I wish." I was in the seat behind the wheel by this time, and I caught an ap proving. comprehending glance from Katherine, as Mamie sullenly mount ed to the seat beside me. Madge Has u rremonitlon. I put my hands on her shoulders and turned her body so that he back was toward me and her side toward the back of the car. "Now." I said cheerily, "you can watch the suitcases every step of the way—and you can't turn around Inward me without my knowing It.” I added the last part of the sen tence silently, but 1 think Mamie understood it. for she said wtnnlngly. "I'll get all cramped sitting this way.” "No, for I shall let you get out and walk around when you get too tired.” I answered, then added sternly. ■'But I do not w ish you to talk any more. AVhen you get too tired sit ting that way, you may ask me to change, but you must say nothing elee." I bent to my key and started the engine, then waved as cheery a fate well to Katherine as 1 could manage. Purposely I had managed things so that Marion and Junior were out in the pasture witli Jim getting the rows in. I did not want the risk of the tears, which my little lad sometimes sheds when lie sees me go ng away even for a brief absence. But there swept over me suddenly a loathing fqr my journey and a de. sire to dump Mamie and the suit cases in the road and let the matter if the suspicious fur cloaks take, what course it would without my in terference. I knew very well the sentence Which Katherine had left unfinished, knew also that she had left the rest unuttered hecause she feared the thought put Into words might un nerve me. “Just remember you have a child it home, and be careful.” That was what she had meant to say, and iviille I told myself that my friend's fears of Mamie proving dangerous were Ihe quintessence of absurdity, yet 1 could not shake off a little premonition that the sullen girl be side me would make the coming hours in her company unpleasantly memorable for me, although as yet she had made no sign of rebellion.. Musicians of Three Towns Play at Radebaugh Funeral Beatrice, Neb.. June 13.—Rites for M. F. Radebaugh, Beatrice jeweler and musician, who died suddenly the first of the week, were held at the First Christian church, the sermon being delivered by Rev. M. I.ee Sorey.

The fire oc curred while the whole family was visiting Ihe carnival at Plainview. Postmaster Appointed. Beatrice, Neb.. June 13.—J. H. Jimerson has been appointed i>ost master at Liberty to succeed Miss Kate Michael, who has held the of fice for a few years. Mr. Jimerson was formerly postmaster at Liberty, but retired under the Wilson ad ministration. POTATO FREIGHT RATES REDUCED Ciofton, Neb , June 13.—An Impor tant decision made recently by the state railway commission nnd which becomes effective June 23. makes It possible for potato growers in west ern Nebraska to ship their potatoes front points west of Norfolk on the Northwestern railroad to points in northeast Nebraska north of Norfolk on the Winner branch and north of Wayne, Wakefield and Coburn on the branches of the M. & O. railroad at a freight rate reduction of 15 to 20 per cent on carload lots. About 35 towns will be benefited by these new rates and potato grow ers in western Nebraska who have been seeking this reduction for some time will be helped greatly bj this change. Formerly these two railroads charged higher rates than were charged for similar shipments over one road and as these two roads are considered as under one control in establishing rates the commission agreed with the farmers that the ex ctssive rates were unfair.
