The Platform.
C all the work done at the Chi
cago convention by the republicans,
the platform will get most considera
tion during the months that will in
tervene before election day in No
vember. It is an unusually Jcngthy
document, made so necessarily by the
obligation that the stand of the
party on great and pressing Issues
be clearly and fully defined. In this
regard it must be viewed as a com
prehensive whole. It fully and fairly
sets out the principles of the party,
and it makes definite pledges to the
people as to its program for prog
ress In government.
It is not a collection of glittering
generalities and vague promises, but
a concrete presentation of a policy
of progress, with definite and spe
cific
statements as to the Pnrposeslcloujn6sll The body Is cool or even cold,
of the party in dealing with all of
the problems now confronting the
government It frankly states the
general attitude of the party In these
words:
The republican party is now, at always,
a party of advanced and consecutive
statesmanship. It is prepared to go for
ward with the solution of those new
questions which 100181, economic and
political development have brought into
the forefront of the nation's interest
Following this declaration, each
of the several questions is dealt with
In. language open and easy to under
stand, that nothing of ambiguity-may
be charged against the document or
the Intentions of its framers. As a
declaration of party principles It will
challenge the thoughtful attention of
all citizens, for it is an appeal to
calm, deliberate judgment, a request
for a dispassionate verdict from the
voters. And It is in "the quiet of
November" that that verdict will be
returned.
The Battle of Baltimore. "
The Tammany-Parker-Clark-Hearst
democrats threw their hat into the
ring when the national committee
recommended Parker for temporary
chairman and Mr. Bryan, followed by
Governor Wilson, promptly gave it a
swift kick and the battle of Balti
more was on. Mr. Bryan Insists he
acted In the interest of har
mony. Meantime he characteris
tically plunges in, crying "no com
promise,'' indifferent to the appeals
of Watterson,' Baldwin), Taggart and
others for peace. Peace, if it comes,
will come on Mr. Bryan's terms. He
surely will be able to swing more
than -one-third of the convention In
which event he may defeat the two-
thirds. ' " w;
Wilson, then, is the Bryan man,
ostensibly at least, the only one of
the candidates to join the Nebraskan
In this "harmony" fight. Champ
Clark stands now, where he always
stood wherever the lightning of op
portunity seems most imminent He
is the political chameleon; he Is a
Bryan man, a Hearst, Wn, a Tam
many tool, a progressive, a reaction-
ary an amiable opportunist, appar
ently unfettered by fixed conviction
of any sort.'., ," " . , -1 .',
It will be surprising if Mr. Bryan,
now that a third party Is launched,
does not annex himself to a fourth
nomination. Or, falling In that, will
he be able to land Wilson, or agree
with the enemy on Marshall, the man
who "never offended anybody," c or
go down in final defeat before the
common foe he is now fighting?
One thing? now seems certain, and
only one we are assured of another

EFFECT OF BEAT ON THE HUMAN BODY

to recognize the two conditions in order
that the proper treatment can be ad-

exhaustion, often comes on elowly, but
it may come aa abruptly as that of true
sunstroke and may develop In Its severest
form in those who are robust and strong,
as well as In those who ara feeble and
weak.
In heat exhaustion the puis la rapid,

should be treated by applications of heat.
hot blanket, thorough rubbing of tha
body and limbs, stimulants administered,
small doses of whisky, inhalations of
spirit of ammonia, and ths services of
a physician secured as soon as possible,
as more active heart stimulants are often
necessary to bring about reaction. '
The other form of excessive beat is
known as sunstroke, heat apoplexy, sun
fever,, etd. This condition Is caused, not
only in severe, heat while in the sun, but
by over-exertion in a hot, humid atmos-
phere where there Is but little air stirring,
even with no exposure to the sun's rays.
It is more apt to occur in those addicted
to alcoholic stimulants. When this Is the
case the chances for recovery are much
diminished. The face becomes much
flushed and red, breathing labored and
slow, severe headaches, diczy and giddy
feeling In the head, oppressed feeling in
the pit of the stomach, often nausea and
vomiting of a yellow or green substance,
darting pains in tha limbs, puis rapid,
full and bounding. Intense heat of the
skin, hot to tha touch, high temperature,
even reaching as high as. 108 or 100 de-

temperature is reached tha pulse, al-
though full and rapid at first, -becomes
intermittent. Irregular and thready. Nerv-

by jerking and twitching of the limbs,
and even convulsions may develop, often

It Fulton Cutting, president of tha New
Tork association for the improvement of
the condition ' of the pteor, has pub
lished a book, "The Church and Society,"
la which, aa a result of personal investi
gation and correspondence with hundreds '
of ministers in various cities, he con
cludes that church work in this country
should be In an entirely new direction.
Social betterment Beads a stronger union
of church and state, not In a sense
that arouses any antagonism of demo
cratic Ideas, but by closer practical con
tact and participation in the work of
advancing civilisation.
Mr. Outtng disclaims utterly , and
strongly any participation in tha electoral
field of politics. The church has learned
by bitter , experience to reject tha ex
pediency of a political policy. But while
the civil authorities of a detnocratio
state ara the tools that the church has
herself aptly fashioned, she Is now lg-,

them and help them as her agents for

Voluntary Dissolution and the Prospect for Competition.
New York Journal ot Commerce. ' Stockyards Warehouse company,, the
It Is just about tea years since the first Anglo-American Refrlgerator Car corn-
move of the government was made against
the combination ot meat packers known
as the "beet trust," with headquarters
at Chicago, aa In violation ot tha anti
trust law. feince the first petition tor
an Injunction was tiled In May, IMS, the
contest has gone on with varying for
tunes, mostly favorable to the "combine;"
but now, as the government waa prepar
ing to bring a suit for the dissolution ot
Lthe National Packing company, those tn
control have concluded that the better
part ot valor tor thera Is discretion, and
decided to emulate the example of Colonel
Crockett's coon and "corae down." They
have announced to the United States dis
trict attorney at Chicago, and he has
conveyed the newt to 'the attorney gen
eral who has Imparted It to the public,
that they are considering a plan ot volun
tary dissolution to take effect August L
Meantime the government suit win be
held In abeyance.
The National Packing company was
organised in 1903 by the leading packers
ot Chicago, to acquire control of prac
tically all the competing concerns In their
business. . It hsd a share capital ot $16,-
000.000. which was divided In fixed pro
portions between the Ar-aour, Swift and
Morris concerns. ' It was used to acquire
control by stockholding ot the principal
packing houses ot St. Louis, - Omaha.

excessively heated term, should avota
all alcoholic stimulants and other ex-
cesses, over-feeding, especially avow
meat. A farinaceous and fruit diet
should be followed, with large quantl-
ties of water, taken often and little at
a time, cold but not iced, drinking It
slowly. Water win not only supply the
loss of moisture going on In the system
from the intense heat, but will cool the
body as well, A little lemon Juice added
to the water is beneficial, as It acts aa a
slight stimulant to the stomach, aiding
the assimilation of the water. Fruit and
water will keep the glands, kidneys and

The treatment to be applied in case of
"unstroke must be active and energetic,
Remove the patient at once to a cool,

apply cold applications at base- of brain,
over the chest, body and limbs with tow-

patient all over with ice or wrapping the
whole body in a sheet wrung out of ice
water, then frequently pouring ice
water over the sheet, are means to be
adopted until the physician arrives and
the patient can be removed to his home
tha hospital, when he should be put
in a cool bath at a temperature of about
60 degrees.
The one and important thing to think
of in sunstroke is to reduce the high
temperature and this can be accom-
pllshed beat by cold packs and cold
baths. Every minute lost before the
treatment is instituted lessens the
chances of recovery. Contraction of the
pupils of the ayes is a good Indication
that the temperature is being reduced,
but is not to be relied on aa much as
the thermometer. Always remember the
Ice packs and lea bath are heroic, meas-

isters and church representatives to dis

and thus bring all means of help in touch
with the direct Christianizing view of
helpfulness. We quote a former police
commissioner of New York City as sug
gesting a committee of all the churches
of tha city to confer frequently with the
police authorities for common help in
handling police problems. Mr. Cutting
thus continues;
"Such support" says the commissioner,

"Drive them out" they insisted. "Cer

Police Chief Kohler of Cleveland, when

"Surely, if they would only stop scold

ministers If they came down and asked
you to suggest ways of being useful?
"I could If they would try to understand

Police Chief Knapp of Toledo when

the local clergy, answered:
"No help, only complaints. They could

Mr. Cutting's argument Is that churches

If there was an unlawful combination and
attempted monopoly la the country, be
sides the Standard Oil and American
Tobacco companies, this was It: and yet
the government has been defeated In the
Injunction suits and the criminal prosecu
tion which ended only a short time ago.
The civil suit for dissolution would prob
ably have ended differently, but It may
be avoided br the voluntary aotlon ot the
controlling Interests. , .
The disintegration, If effected, will be
under the direction of the Department
of Justice and will probably follow the
plan, applied In the Standard Oil and
Tobacco trust eases, which has certainly
had no disastrous effect upon the in
dustries concerned or upon those holding
an Investment interest tn them. The
rehabilitated subsidiaries in one case
and the reorganised corporations la the
other, appear to have been going their
way ia peace and prosperity as It noth
ing bad happened. - A similar result Is
likely to follow the dissolution ot the
National Packing company and the re
newed independence of its subsidiaries.
' But will there be renewed competition?
At tint as In the Other eases, the
divided and distributed control will re
main In the 'same hands under differ
ent organisations, and the concerns may
work harmoniously together: but "in
terests" will be gradually exchanged and
transferred and there will be "potential
competition," which In time wlU worst

IN SCHOOL DAYS.
; John G. Whittier.
Still sits the schoolhouse by the road,
A ragged beggar sunning;
Around it still the sumachs grow, v
And blackberry vines . are running.
Within, the master's desk i seen,
Deep scarred by raps official; ;
The warping floor, the battered seats
The jaickknife's carved initial.
The charcoal frescos on its wall;
Its door's worn sill, v betraying ,
The feet that, creeping slow to school
Went storming out to playing!
a
Long years ago a winter sun
Shone over it at eettlng; .
Lit up Its western window-panes.
And low eavee' icy fretting.
It touched the tangled golden curls, '
And brown eyes full of grieving.
Of one who still her steps delayed
-When all the school were leaving. 1
For near her stood the little boy .
Her childish favor singled;
His cap pulled low upon a face '
Where pride and shame were mingled
Pushing with restless feet the snow
To right and left he lingered
As restlessly her tiny hands
The blue-checked apron fingered. .
He saw her lift her eyes: he felt
The soft hand's light caressing 1
And heard the tremble of her voice, I
As If a fault confessing.
"I'm sorry that I spelt the word;
I hate to go above you.
Because," the brown eyes lower fell
"Because, you see; I love you!'' .
Still memory to a gray-haired man
That sweet child-face Is showing,
Dear Girl, the grasses on her grave '
Have forty years been growing!
He lives to learn, in life's hard school,
How few who pass above him
Lament their triumph and his loss,
Like her, because they love him.
