Gnetii of the Denver Platform.
Who drew the Denver platformt And
what were the clrcumstancee of Its adop
tion? Of (nsslp on this subject there has al
ways been a plenty. It was raid last year
that Mr. Bryan rejected all aid, framed
the document himself, put It Into the hands
of Oovernor Haskell, then his nearest
friend, and practically ordered the conven
tion to accept It Certain It Is that he was
much pleased with that part of the conven
tion's work, and In his canvass Interpreted
It without an If, an and or a but.
Fortunately, as the senate Is Just now
discussing that platform, there are mem
bers of the body who should possess full
Information. Clarke of Arkansas, Fton of
Missouri, Newlanda of Nevada, Simmons
of North Carolina, Frailer of Tennessee
and Danlet of Virginia were members of
tha platform committee at Denver. Did
they accept tha convention's expression of
principles perfunctorily T They accepted
the candidate, and In tha, campaign did
what they could for . him. But at least
two of them Mr. Simmons and Mr. Dan
let have In the present tariff debate shown
but small consideration for what was said
by the convention on the subject of tariff
reform. Washington Star.
The genesis of the Denver platform,
with special reference to its declara
tions on the tariff, may be so shrouded
in doubt down at Washington as to
justify the question here propounded,
but It is a matter of record here in
Nebraska that may be easily traced
back. The framework of the Denver
platform was originally promulgated
in the democratic state platform put
out by Nebraska in September, 1907.
It is notorious that while that docu
ment was presumably presented by a
resolutions committee it was, in fact,
drafted under the personal direction
of William Jennings Bryan. With
reference to the tariff, Mr. Bryan's
platform plank of 1907 reads:
We favor an Immediate revision of the
tariff by the reduction of the Import duties.
Articles entering Into competition with
articles controlled by trusts should ba
4laced upon the free list; material re
duction should be made In the tariff
upon the necessaries of life and reduc
tions should be made In such other sched
ules as may be necessary to restore the
tariff to a revenue basis.
This platform draft was taken up
and reiterated with unlmportafit mod
ifications by the Nebraska democrats
in their state convention held in
March, 1908, at which the delegation
to the Denver convention was . se
lected. Again Mr. Bryan was person
ally present and supervised the plat
form making. In this draft the clause
already quoted is retained verbatim,
but with a prelude suggested by inci
dents that had transpired in the in
terval, reading ss follows:
We welcome the belated promise of
tariff reform now offered by a part of
the republican party aa a tardy recogni
tion of tbe righteousness of the democratic
position on this question. But the people
cannot safely entrust tha execution of
this Important work to a party which Is
so obligated to the highly protected In
terests that It postpones relief until after
election. 'And we call attention to tha
significant fact that the promise now mads
by those republicans who favor tariff re
vision la wholly vitiated by tha usa of
tha very qualifying words under whloh
the present tariff Iniquities have grown up.
The program of Mr. Bryaa and his
political managers was to reiterate
this Nebraska-made platform at Den
ver and thus give it the stamp of ac
ceptance by the national organization
of the party. While the likeness is
more than a family resemblance,
when finally incorporated Into the
Denver document jthe tariff, declara
tion In full Is as follows:
We welcome tha belated prorata of tar
iff revision now offered by tha republican
party In tardy recognition of tha righte
ousness of tha democratlo position on this
question. But tha people cannot safely
entrust tha execution of this Important
work to a party which la so deeply obli
gated to the highly protected interests
as la tha republican party. We call atten
tion to tha significant fact that tha
promised relief waa postponed until after
the coming election an election to succeed
In which the republican party must have
tha earns support from tha beneficiaries
of tha high protective tariff as it has
always heretofore received from them; and
to tha further fact that during this uninter
rupted power no action whatever has been
taken by tha republican congress to cor
rect' tha admittedly existing tariff In
iquities. We favor Immediate revision ef tha tariff
by tha reduction of import duties. Artloles
entering Into competition with trust con
trolled products should be placed upon the
free list and material reductions should
be mad In the tariff upon the necessaries
of life, especially upn article competing
with suoh American manufacture as are
sold abroad more cheaply than at home;
and graduated reductions should be made
In such other schedules as may be neces
sary to raster the tariff to a revenue
basis.
Existing duties have given to the manu
facturers of paper a shelter behind which
they have organised combinations to raise
the price of pulp and of paper, thus im
posing a tax upon the spread of knowledge.
We demand the immediate repeal of the
tariff on wood pulp, print paper, lumber,
timber and logs, and that thee articles
be placed upon the free list.
The first two paragraphs would,
doubtless, have covered the ground
were It not for tbe pilgrimage made
to Lincoln Just before the Denver con
vention by Herman Rldder, who had
been actively engaged In the agitation
for free print paper and wood pulp
and as actively opposed to Mr. Bryan's
candidacy, Mr. Rldder's visit to Fair
view' converted him to the support of
Bryan and the natural inference is
that the additional section in the
tariff declaration was one of the mov
ing causes.
We have here, therefore, the transi
tional stages of the tariff plank of the
Denver platform from its first formu
lation by Mr. Bryan for the Nebraska
state platform in September, 1907,
through its revision by him for the
Nebraska state platform In March,
1908, and its final form as he ap
proved it for the Denver convention In
July of the same year.
The Chicago Tribune thinks that,
members of the legislature ought to
study the state constitution la order
to avoid the enactment of unconstitu
tional laws, the suggestion growing
out of Illinois' costly experience with
direct prlmarx legislation, repeatedly
nullified by supreme court decisions.
The Tribune's suggestion is the height
of Impertinence. Why should a law
maker waste time studying the con
stitution when we maintain courts for
the very purpose of correcting ' his
mistakes? V
Japan a Fullfledged Nation.
Japan is preparing to cast aside tbe
list of its national swaddling clothes
and take its place with the other na
tions of the world. Up to the close
of the war with Russia Japan recog
nized the extra-territorial rights of
foreign consuls and ministers to try
citizens of their own country accused
of crime in Japan. This right had
been granted years before when Japan
was a kindergarten student of modern
governmental methods, but Its prog
ress had been so great that It insisted
on and secured the abolition of this
concession. The commercial treaties
negotiated at that time, however, still
recognized the principle of extra
territoriality and permitted partial
foreign supervision over the nation's
internal commerce. These treaties
have a little over a year yet to run
and provide for one year's notice to
terminate them, but discussion in
Japan already makes It certain that
this notice will be given and the last
relic of outside domination removed.
The step is not only a development
of nationality, but is important com
mercially to all nations having trade
relations with Japan. New treaties
must be negotiated find these will
doubtless revolutionize the foreign
trade. As a sidelight the trend of
Japanese thought toward a strong pro
tective policy is notable. Its leading
statesmen are advocating a tariff al
most exclusive, unless modified by
reclproool treaty concessions, and it is
apparent that tbe nation which se
cures Japanese trade must be willing
and able to give a quid pro quo.
Japan has progressed wonderfully
in manufactures and world commerce,
particularly since the war with China,
and its commercial ambition is bound
less. Its diplomats are as shrewd as
any and In negotiating these com
mercial treaties may be expected to
hold their own with the best With
the termination of the old agreements
Japan will cease to be a nation ad
mitting superiority of any other na
tion in mutual relations and inter
course. Broadening the Conference Idea.
A year ago last April President
Roosevelt summoned a conference of
state governors at Washington to con
sider the question of the conservation
of the natural resources of the nation,
and the governors met again in De
cember for consultation on the same
subject. It is now proposed that the
governors shall meet this coming De
cember In conjunction with the Na
tional Civic Federation and other sim
ilar bodies and that the scope of the
deliberations be greatly enlarged. The
meetings of last year gave an acknowl
edged . Impetus to the conservation
Idea and, what is fully as Important,
harmonized some Influences which
had been working at cross purposes.
It helped dispel the provincialism
which overlooked the needs of distant
sections and gives hope of a compre
hensive plan for co-operation.
Tbe National Civic Federation is
working for uniform laws, particu
larly those affecting business that
crosses state lines. Interstate busi
ness has become so vast that radical
differences In law and commercial
practices In the various states consti
tute a serlouB obstacle which can be
removed only by concerted action, for
if uniformity is secured it must first
be determined what is desired and all
effort be directed toward a single
goal. The gathering of such bodies
of representative men focuses public
attention upon the subject and the
wide publicity given the discussions
brings their importance home to all
the people.
Immigrants, and the Farm. '
One of the great problems In the
United States is the assimilation of
the immigrant and this is compli
cated by the tendency of - the new
comers to settle In congested labor
centers. Here they are largely
grouped by nationalities and often
compelled to. live In surroundings
neither healthful nor uplifting. This
is particularly true of those from
southern Europe, who seldom seek the
farms, though many of them at home
lived In rural districts. Immigration
statistics show that over 1,000,000 of
that class have arrived in this coun
try since 1901.
The reasons impelling the immi
grant to remain In the city are va
ried, but it Is not because the farm
does not need them. From one end of
the country to the other there has
been a demand for farm labor, even
when stagnation prevailed In the in
dustrial centers. In addition there is
ample opportunity for the Immigrants
to engage in farming on their own
account and this is not confined to the
west
The report of the New York com
missioner of agriculture show a de
crease of 14,388 farms in that state
in the last twenty years, and that this
is not accounted for by consolidations
is proved by the great decrease in
farm products. The same condition
exists all over the east and the farm
ers explain it as due to lack of labor
to till the land. The farmers' sons
have gone west or to the city and im
migration has not supplied their
place.
The New York commissioner of
agriculture reoommends that bureaus
be established to acquaint the Immi
grants with tbe opportunities In agri
cultural sections, both for the salva
tion of tha farmer and tha good of the
Immigrant, who under present condi
tions has no means of knowing the
opportunities on the farm, while the
scents of Industrial enterprises are
ever active. This recommendation Is
endorsed by the Commission of Immi
gration, which has been investigating
tha whole subject for the state of New
York, and appeals to us as offering
one of the most practical ways of at
tacking the chief evil of our congested
Immigration.
The College. Man in Business,
calaureate sermons and graduating ad
dresses is bringing forth the usual ad
monitions to the young man about to
step out from college, warning him of
the pitfalls of the business, world and
Inspiring him with the thought that
what has brought about the mischief
Is the scarcity of college men in busi
ness life.
In the baccalaureate sermon at
Princeton President Woodrow Wilson
read a lecture on "Duty," in which he
complained, with some justice, that
the practice everywhere Is too preva
lent of trying to do the least for the
most money. He admitted, it Is true,
that even In college some students are
found who try to get their diplomas
with the least possible effort, thinking
they are thus cheating the college, but
in fact cheating themselves, and still
the drift of his words is to stimulate
the Idea that the world Is waiting for
the college graduate to lift it to a
higher plane In all its various lines of
business and professtonaracttvlty.
Without lessening the force of all
this good advice, the college graduate
should nonetheless be reminded that
there have been classes graduated be
fore his and that the positions of lead
ership have for the most part been oc
cupied all the time by men with good
schooling, If not with coMege educa
tions. If there have been abuses in
tbe business world. If the game has
been overplayed, as President Wilson
would express It, It has not been be
cause there were no college graduates
at hand to call a halt. Among . the
captains of Industry who have turned
the tricks calling to be reformed there
are probably as many who have gone
through college as there are of those
who have not had the advantages of
such an education.
It goes without saying that the col
lege man entering the career of busi
ness or of professionalism should work
toward high ideals, but he must not
forget that he will have to accommo-
Ldate himself to existing conditions and
that improvement will have to come,
not by over-night revolution, but by
the slow process of evolution. This
would be just as true If every man In
the business world carried a college
diploma. '

Beautifying Cities.
The Tost of a city beautiful la some
thing enormous, but aside from the
education and inspiration it affords lta
residents, Paris has demonstrated that
it pays. How much the publlo Im
provements in Paris had eost up to
the time of the second empire no one
knows, but it was many millions. Un
der Baron Eugene Haussmann's direc
tion Napoleon III spent $500,000,000
to make Paris the most beautiful city
in the world, and additional expendi
tures have been made on no mean
scale ever since. Now it Is propose
to spend $136,000,000 more In carry
ing out a systematic plan of beautlflca
tion, the municipal council having al
ready approved the plans and appro
priated the money.
Under Baron Haussmann nothing
was permitted to stand in the way of
his plans. Private property was
taken, streets cut through where val
uable buildings stood and everything
made to conform to the best ideals.
The result is that no European trav
eler thinks of omitting a trip to Paris.
The annual Influx of visitors and the
money they spend moans to Paris
what the rise of the Nile does to the
Egyptian husbandman. ' It pays the
biggest rate of interest of any invest
ment made by the thrifty Frenchman.
Under Boss Shepherd millions were
expended to make Washington beauti
ful and symmetrical, and It Is now far
In advance of other American cities.
New York has expended enormous
sums for municipal beautificatlon, but
Its business district Is so out of har
mony that it cannot be compared to
Paris and Berlin In this respect. -
Our new and growing cities of the
west can hardly afford to spend such
vast sums for beautificatlon, but they
certainly can avoid the mistakes in
clty-maklng which render beautifica
tlon In the future either Impossible or
excessively costly.
It turns out that one of the reasons
why that George Washington uni
versity was dropped from the ac
credited list of the Carnegie founda
tion was that the university had
forced the retirement of two pro
fessors in the height of their useful
ness and in their prime manhood tn
order to fill their places with cheaper
men. This feature of the case, how
ever, has had little, If any, public at
tention. Wonder why it is that these col
leges and universities take delight in
piling up alphabetical letters on peo
ple who are already, overburdened
with honorary degrees when there are
so many who have to stop their sig
natures short with the surname?
Hiey are not overlooking anything

the needed funds. Here Is a sugges
tion to the senate finance committee.
An insurance writer says that when
a man asks a woman to marry htm It
would be a moat excellent preliminary
If she were to ask him "Are you In
sured T" There are a lot of other
questions equally important which
the woman ought to propound, but for
some unexplnlnable reason she In
variably forgets all about them.
If those Pierre delegates to the nav
igation congress at Yankton make the
trip by boat, as they are planning,
they will be able to give the other del
egates some practical information
providing, of course, they escape snags
and sandbars and arrive before ad
journment. A new watermelon has been discov
ered which Is no larger than a grape
fruit That may suit the epicure, but
the small boy will still cling to the
ones large enough to let him in over
his ears.
"Is the shed in which a dirigible
Is kept to be a 'dlrage?' " asks the
New York Independent. We do not

A Washington society girl refused
to go on with her part in an amateur

possible to say whether she was Justi

flyer, they would have the advantage
of starting out right, hailing as they
do from Ohio.
