Prospectus of the Platform.
President Wilson's Memorial day speech is
accepted in general terras as indicative of what
he expects to have embodied in the platform on
which he will go before the country asking for
re-election. That speech, carefully prepared and
cautiously delivered, has in it nothing indicating
what the president really proposes in the way of
constructive legislation. It deals almost exclu
sively with the single topic of citizenship, and
reiterates most solemnly the sentiments often ex
pressed by Mr. Wilson, and concerning which
two opinions cannot possibly exist, that allegi
ance can not be divided. His inchoate and unde
termined views as to national defense hardly
deserve consideration, for, were they pronounced
by a person of less consequence than the presi
dent of the 'United States, they would be dis
missed as unworthy. Mr. Wilson's suggestion
for a platform is not one that will greatly
strengthen the position of his party.
In the meantime Chairman Claude E. Kitchln
of the house ways and means committee is
making some medicine that will interest the
leaders of the free trade party. Mr. Kitchin is
preparing a revenue bill that will contain some
distinctly new and uncertain methods for pro
viding funds for the government, and one well
tried means. He proposes to levy a duty on
dye stuffs of at least 5 per cent, as a protection
to American manufacturers! Mr. Kitchin must
be fully conversant with the fulmination of the
Baltimore convention of four years ago. The
first paragraph of that platform reada:
Wa daelara It to ha a fundamental prinolpla of tha
damoeratla party that tha fadaral fovarnment undar tha
sonatltutlnn haa aa rleht of powar to Impoae or aollaat
tariff dutlaa axeapt for tha purpoaa of ravenua, and wa
damand that tha eollactlon of such taxaa shall ba limltad
to tha neeaaaltlas of tha aovarnmant, honestly and
aeonomlrally administered.
This about-face movement on the tariff is but
one of several executed by the democrats since
1912, although most of the pledges made in the
Baltimore platform have been ignored or re
pudiated in toto. Mr. Wilson's utterances and
Mr. Kitchin's proposals warrant the conclusion
that the St. Louis platform will be a remarkable
production.
South Side Gets Representation.
Residents of the South Side may now feel
that they are indeed citizens of Omaha, one of
the pioneers of South Omaha having been chosen
as a member of the city commission. This result
might have been achieved months ago, had not
the energetic opponents of annexation secured a
postponement of the Inevitable till after the
Omaha election was held. The choice of Mr.
Parks is sure to be popular with his fellow cit
izens, he having long been identified with the life
of South Omaha as a builder and contractor,
active in its community affairs, and distinguished
by reason of not being an office-seeker. His se
lection should be assurance that the interests of
that section of Greater Omaha will not be
neglected by the city commission. However, it
should not be taken to establiah the precedent of
electing commissioners because of the part of
town in which they live. Omaha wants no sec
tional tines drawn across its map.
Two Impressive Ceremonies.
New York's socialist oreacher took part in
the burning of an American flag and pronounced
it the most impressive ceremony he had ever at
tended. The following morning he was present
at another assembly, where the proceedings were
less snectacular. but almost as impressive. It
was in police court, and the desecrator of the
Aaa was fined $1,000. This nne ought to stick.
We concede to Rev. Bouck White and his asso
ciates the right to revere the flag of "interna
tional industrialism," whatever that is, and they
mav hold nnvate v whatever opinion they like
of the Stars and Stripes. But when it comes to
making a public show of the desecration of the
flair that reoresents the government under which
he lives, then the reverend gentleman is coming
Intrt enntact with what that naK stands tor, the
law of a free people. The incident is worthy
of note as showing to what extremes men can
carry their foolishness.
'Insult" Prom Carranza.
No especial wonder need be expressed at the
announcement from Washington that the latest
communication from Carranza is the most insult
ing in its tone ever sent to the United States
eovernrnent. It is but a continuance of the treat
ment the Mexicans have accorded the United
States and its citirens from the beginning. Presi
dent Wilson's reversible policy in dealing with
the irresponsihlcs who have disturbed the peace
along our southern border since he took office
has been rather an encouragement to them to
nersist in both insult and outrage towards Amer
icans, Carrania is now affording perfect proof of
the proposition that the nation that will not pro
tect its citizens and its rights, wherever they may
be nut in jeopardy, is not likely to command re-
spect We may be too proud to fight, but that
will not exempt us from insult and imposition
from ethers whose pride takes a different form.

The Mystery of the Tides
By GARRETT P. SERVISS. 1
WE MAY liken the ocean to a respiring
giant that stretches his vast length
around all our coasts, whose breath is the
flood of waters, now poured impetuously into
every bay and inlet as the monster exhales, and
now swiftly drawn out again with his next inha
lation, while, coincidentally, his broad breast
heaves and falls and rhythmically the naviea rise
and sink, feeling the resistless power of the life
that slumbers underneath their keels.
But is is a forced breathing, this of great Nep
tune, and he would lie still as death but for two
life-savers in the sky which strive without ceas
ing to save him from suffocation through the
stagnation of his own waters.
These Samaritans are the moon and the sun,
as every school-child is taught without under
standing, just as most of us know that a pul
motor may bring a drowned man to life again
without comprehending exactly how.
This is the mystery of the tides, and a mys
tery it remains, in part, although mankind has
wondered about it and studied t from time im
memorial. Although it had been noticed long
before Newton was born that there was a syn
chronism between the motion of the moon and
the tides, yet it was not until he had developed
his theory of gravitation that the manner of the
moon's action in producing tides became plain,
The moon is the principal agent, more than
twice as effective as the sun, and since they both
work in the same way, it is unnecessary to intro
duce more than one of them in a simple explana
tion. That explanation depends upon three proved
facts first, that the attraction of gravitation in
creases in force with decrease of distance; sec
ond, that the solid earth yields as a whole, united
body to the gravitational pull of the moon, and,
third, that the ocean, being composed of watery
particles free to move among one another, does
not yield to the lunar tug as a whole united body,
but its waters flow over the earth's crust toward
the place where the resultant of the forces acting
upon them is greatest.
The consequence is that they are, in sense,
heaped or swelled up in a tidal wave, and the
rotation of the earth on its axis carries this wave
westward, or in a direction contrary to that of the
rotation. So, if you envelop a school globe in a
sheet of gauze and hold the gauze 50 that it can
not turn with the globe when the fatter is rotated,
the gauze will move over its surface in an op
posite direction. Your hand, gathering up and
holding the gauze on one side, may represent the
attraction of the moon upon the oceanic waters.
The water is heaped up by the moon's attrac
tion in accordance with the first of the three
fundamental facts mentioned above; namely, that
the attraction increases with decrease of distance.
In truth, it increases inversely as the square of
the distance, which augments the effect. The
side of the earth that is at any time toward the
moon is about 4,000 miles nearer the moon than
the center of the earth.
But, according to our second fundamental fact,
the earth yields as a single solid body, to which
we may now add that the effect of the pull is the
same as if the entire substance of the earth were
concentrated at its center. It follows that the
waters of the ocean, being free to move over their
solid bed, and experiencing an attraction greater
than that felt at the earth a center, tend to flow
toward the place where the moon's attraction is
greatest
Now comes the point usually found most dif
ficult to understand. There is a tide on the side
of the earth turned from the moon as well aa on
the side turned toward it. This is a result of the
same fundamental facts. The water on the side
opposite to the moon is 4,000 miles farther from
the moon than the center of the earth and is,
consequently, proportionately less attracted.
Thus the earth, as a whole, tends to be drawn
away from the water on that side, just as on the
other side the water tends to be drawn away from
the earth.
This is, in substance, the theory of the tides,
and no doubt it is a true explanation of their
fundamental cause. But great difficulties arise
when the theory is applied to the actual tides that
flow around the coasts of the continents. If the
earth were a smooth sphere, covered everywhere
with an ocean of unvarying depth, there would be
no difficulties of the kind. But then we should
either not exist at all or else we should be fish,
or whales, or sharks, and in that case, instead of
astronomers, physicists, and mathematicians we
should probably produce only big eaters.
Taking the situation as it is we find that the
tides play the deuce with the theory. They do
not disprove it, but they show that it is altogether
insufficient to cover the facts. The sources of the
trouble are the varying depth of the water and
the subdivision of the ocean into many different
seas, more or less completely separated by huge,
oddly shaped continents.
Because the human mind loves simplicity,
which is easy to understand and shrinks from
complications, persistent attempts have been
made to force the tides into compliance with a
uniform theory, but they refuse to submit.
Thus it has long been taught, in the text
books, that the tides are all associated parts of
one universal "world phenomenon." We have
been told of "a parent wave," starting in the
broad, deep waters of the Southern Pacific, and
gradually spreading round the Rlobe, combining
in its course with minor tides started in smaller
oceans.
This parent tide has even been imaginatively,
but with authoritative assertion, traced around
distant capes, through straits and across the
length and breadth of many seas. One text-book
writer has averred that this tide is "forty hours
old" when it reaches Horida from the Pacific and
nearly "sixty hours old" when it begins to wash
upon the shores of the North Sea,
Now, all this must be abandoned as pure spec
ulation, ariotiling to the investigations of our
coast and geoiletic survey. Although, as lr.
t'harles l ane Poor says, "the theory that the
tides are a world phenomenon has the support
of the world's greatest mathematicians and all the
prestige their names can lend," the investigations
teterred to seem to prove thai the tules "are
strictly local in character and in hemg, and that
the tide of the Atlantic oresn are due to lle ot.
filiations in the warers of lha Atlannr, iitdepend
ent ot ht Ii4 happened, or may happen, in the
waters of lh Pacific,"

For tha Laborers.
Omaha. June 2.-To tha Editor of The
Beet Tha contractors don't want the bulM
Ing laborers to organise. Vat they organise
themselves. The contractors don't want to
pay living wagea, yet they are much aroused
because the strike now on Interferes with
their Income. If these ba samples of present-day
consistency, than eonaisteney ceases
to ba a Jewel and Inconsistency takes on
that distinction.
No sensible person objects to tha eon
tractora organising. No sensible person ob
jects to tha laborers organising. It Is a
fight to tha finish between tha two, and tha
quicker wa recognise this the better for tha
sommunlty.
The laborers will maintain and strengthen
their organisation, whether tha eontraetors
Ilka It or not. Tha people are taking sldea,
and there la no doubt which aide most of
ua will take.
I am for the laborera. They are fighting
for their famlllea and happiness and decent
existence, and not, aa tha contractora are,
for bigger and bigger bank aceounta and
prastlga and power.

Bell Defends Reporters.
Newberg, Or.., May I9.-To the Editor
of The Bee! I recently received through Ui.
kindness of Mr. Peine, eeeretary of the Ne
bratka Historical aociety. a eopy of the
third volume of the eonatltutlonal "n
tion of 1871. His predecessor. Mr. Sheldon,
aent me the first and aeeond volumes. In
those the namea of tha official reporter, of
the convention appears In tha third volume
the editor, Albert Watklns. who. It appears
Is historian of the Nebraaka Historical ao
alety. Is so ashamed of the work of the re
porters that he not only refrained from glv
tng their namea. but In addition, in hie pre
face to tha book, fllnga soma .neers in
their direction.
Four reporter, were engaged by the eon-vention-John
Gray. John Hall, Dan Brown
and myself. Soon after it adjourned Gray
and I went Into the employ of Ely Burn
ham Bartlett of Chicago, a shorthand firm,
who were the official reportera of aU of the
4 CVi.ilr nlini'T. Illinois, and wlio had
ouurvas wa -
had the contract for reporting tha Illinois
convention, held a short time previou. u
that of Nebraska. I left that employment
to take a position as one of the editors of
a dally psper in St. Louis. Brown was em
ployed as a stenographer by tha Chicago,
Burlington and Quiney Railroad company,
and Hall returned to newspaper work. Hence.
It would not appear that we were tha ehumpa
one would suppose us to he from reading
Watklns' comments In regard to us.
The report of the Illinois convention waa
made by ten men at a cost of 1182 a day.
The four of ua did the work for the Ne
braska convention precisely the same work
at a rnt to the slate nf 130 a day. Our
pay stopped with the adjournment of the
convention, though wa had much work still
to do in copying our notes. There were then
no typewriters. During the sessions of the
convention, we tolled far Into the night, and
every night, "writing up."
At the time of eur engagement the con
vention hours had been set fur the sessions
to Us In at IS a. m., with a two-hours' rt
cets at noon. I-ater on, night sessinna were
held, and these frequently continued until a
late hour. I see by the book Just received
that tt waa within ten mlnutea of S o'clork
