NO ATTEMPT AT DECEPTION It Sara There Mast Be "tot lee Eaeept la Rare laatances, and Prompt Hearlaa After Tempararr Order la Graatea. COLCMBCS. O.. June 23. Attorney Oen- ersl Wade Ellis of Ohio, who wss a member of the committee on resolutions of ths re publican national convention and chief author of the platform adopted. In a state ment Issued tonight replies to criticisms of the platform made by W. J. Bryan and de nies emphatically that the draft of the platform aa published prior to the conven tlon wss chsnged "with the Intention to displease or disappoint tha president or Secretary Taft." ' The attorney general'a statement In part follows: "Of the seven he (Mr. Bryan) refers to, six are in no sense Issues before the people at this time, nor has there been any at tempt to make them such by the adminis tration nor by any other Influential element In the party. The seventh, concerns in junctions. Upon this subject Mr. Bryan's criticisms exhibits his usual recklessness of statement and readiness to assume that his own lack of information might be the pre vailing condition. The charge that the re publican declaration with respect to the use of the writ of injunction waa "designed to deceive the laboring men" la unworthy of a candidate for president, and the fur ther charge that thla plank merely declares for the existing law and will give no relief In their cases In which there hss been an abuse of discretion or the apprehension of It, Is unworthy of any lawyer who has ex amined this question. The anti-injunction resolution Is a frank, clear statement of the republican party's position 'on a question on which others have been attempting to deceive labor. Baals of Complaints. "The sole basis of any rational complaint aa to the Issuance of Injunctions In labor casea haa been the use of the writ with out notice and the long delaya in some in stances which have Intervened before a hearing of the case. The present statute doea not require any notice at all before the granting of a temporary order and It la entirely within the discretion of the court to postpone to any time the Judge may aee fit the hearing upon the question of an injunction. The republican platform plank almply declares that notice shall always be given unless an Irreparable Injury will result from delay, and In that caae there shall be a apeedy hearing provided. In other words, the platform declaration la de signed to give aasurance thst what is now the general practice in the federal courts shall be made universal by statutes in order that hereafter Vio cause of complaint or misapprehension shall remain. Thla may not satisfy ths extremists on either hand but It was not expected to do thst It will meet the approval of every right thinking man, whether an employer or an employe. Confidence la Coarts. "No party can loaa by bravely taking a atsnd for whatever is right, whoever complains, Just as none can profit by tak ing a stand for what la wrong, whoever applauds. Mr. Bryan objecta further to the phrase In the injunction plank which proclaims confidence in the Integrity of the courts.' It Is true perhaps that the con vention which la yet to meet at Denver rather than that which haa Just adjourned at Chicago, should express faith lnjjthe Integrity of the courts, but In view of the democratlo attack in 1S9S and : the fact that the same forces which then influenced that party are once again In supreme command it would seem entirely appro priate for tha republican party not only to remove any possible cause of complaint In the use of the writ of injunction, but to make it clear that it would resent again as It did in ISM any attempt to assail the Judiciary. . - '"All that any one wants Is that powers of the federal courts with respect to the use of the injunctlpn shall be accurately defined by statute,' to the end that all occasion for complaint in labor cases which happily are rare in the past, shall disap pear altogether in the future. The repub lican plank points to a simple and straight forward way of achieving this purpose." BIG FIRE AT THREE RIVERS .MBM Business Portion of Canadian City Destroyed, Entailing; Loaa Of Bftlllon. THREE RIVERS, Que., June 23. Fanned by a high wind, a fire which broke out shortly before noon today in a stable was not checked until the grester part of the lower town, containing the business section of the city, had been consumed.

Including the post office, the city hall, every 'hotel worthy of the name with one exception, the 'fine building of the Hochelaga bank and most all of the leading etores. Over 0' build ings were burned. The narrow atreets of ths town and the Inflammable nature of many buildings rendered the task of the firemen an almost impossible one. Outside the town Is located the camp of the sixth military district and soon after the fire stsrted a thousand men were aent to help fight the flamea. The local brigade was entirely Ineffective when it came to coping with a conflagration and the soldiers rendered the best ssslstance they could but their bucket brigade waa not equal to the task. The fact that there was no efficient command also mitigated against their efforts and It was not until nearly four houra after the fire had aa sumed threatening dimensions that organ ised efforts by the fire flshters from the other cities was available.

Thousands of new users begin every day, and nobody ever stops. Perhaps you will find, in half the homes of your city, that the people are eating Van Camp's Ilere is a curioui fact : Your demand for Van Camp's has raised tho jrrioe of the best. Michigan beans 25 in three months. Common beans cost about what they did oost. Tho advance has been in those hand-picked beans those white, plump, full-grown beans which we demand for Van Camp's. Never before did so many people want such a grade of beans. Yet, with all this advance, we've not raised the price to you. a There is a reason when a dish like this springs into such demand. And that reason applies to you. We are now baking more beans by several times over than any other concern in the world. That is solely because we are baking the best beans, and millions of people know it . A short time ago, a large part of the people were bak ing their beans at home. They knew baked beans as a homely dish, mushy and broken. The top beans were crisped the middle beans less than half baked. That was because you baked in dry heat, and did not Summer is the time of all times for eating Van Camp's Beans. Let us do the cooking, for one meal a day, while you sit out in the breeze. You'll find that our meal is the best meal of the day. .We bake these beans at less cost to you than if you baked them yourself; , But that isn't all the saving. We are baking such beans that you eat them more often teat them in place of meat. And beans are Nature's choioest food. They are B4 nutriment. They give you more food value than meat, pound for pound, and they cost but a fraction as much. ' And there is nothing that people like better than beans, when baked in the Van Camp way.
