Washington: Representative R. L.
Henry of Texas has resigned as a
member of the House Committee on
Judiciary, of which committee he is
the ranking majority member.
Representative Henry is also Chair-
man of *the House Committee on
Rules, which has been one of the bus-
iest committees of the House since
the Democrats have been in control.
It is the committee which recom-
mends what legislation may be sub-
mitted to the House for speedy con-
sideration, or for consideration out
of order on the calendar. The Dem-
ocratic policy of giving all legislation
a hearing, instead of pigeonholing it,
has made the Rules Committee an ac-
tive and important factor in the work
of the House.
This work, Mr. Henry, says, is grow-
ing heavier as the end of the session
approaches. He is unable to attend
the important sessions and hearings
before the Judiciary Committee.

Houston, Texas, May 29.—Following
is the platform of the Democratic

and with Mr. Bryan, the question of

it Is a question to be settled by each
State for itself.
‘‘We believe in the rule of the peo-
ple as the source of all political pow-
er and their right to an effective con-
trol of all the departments of govern-
ment.
Opposes Representative Taking Fees.
"A representative Democracy will
be preserved by the Representative
representing the people alone and he
ought not during his term of office to
accept employment from favor-seeking
corporations or interests, and this
principle should be enacted into law.
Instructs for Gov. Wilson. ’
"14. The delegates at large and the
district delegates and all alternates to
the Baltimore convention are hereby
instructed to vote as a unit for Wood-
row Wilson as the Democratic nominee
for President so long as his name I*

It is recalled that in the days of the

N. Y. He was ready to sugar off

Two years later, when the bush was

on its nest of rocks almost full of a

Child Falls In Bolling Water.
Hallettsville, Texas: The 2-year-old
child of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Carter,
residing on Smother's ranch, below
town, fell Into a large basin of boiling
water and waa so badly scalded that
death resulted within a fow hours.
Mrs. Carter was scouring, and had
placed a largo basin of water on the

For Limiting Expenditures.
“7. We congratulate the Democrat-
ic party in its progress in forcing
upon the Republican administration a
law limiting the expenditures of a
member of Congress to secure his elec-
tion and heartily favor stringent reg-
ulations prohibiting contributions by
corporations to campaign funds and
limiting the amount which an Individ-
ual may contribute and providing for
publicity both before and after elec-
tion, with the names of contributors.
south polar regions. Professor Keith
regards some of the original Tasmani-
ans as the earliest historical types of
the negro. This type has been extinct
only half a century. Still, this Tas-
manian was, according to Professor
Keith, a very highly evolved man,
from a zoological point of view. He
regards it as a striking fact that in
every large area where primitive
races are found in the southern half
of the old world, neighboring repre-
sentatives of the Tasmanian and Aus-
tralian stocks are also to be found.
This would indicate that the so-
called "seat of the human race”—the
Garden of Eden, as many would say—
was not in Asia at all, and not even in
the Mediterranean basin, as was held
by the late Professor Daniel G. Brin-
ton, the American ethnologist, but
may have been away off down toward
the south pole.
The latest researches make it con-
vincingly clear, asserts Professor
Keith, that the outline of the brain
chamber of the negro skull is totally
different from that of apes and of th*
neanderthal, or extremely ancient Eu-
ropean men. The broad and short
faces and prominent cheek bones of
the negro, he says, depend on the ro-
bust development of the teeth and
muscles of mastication. The promi-
nent jaws are due partly but not en-
tirely to the size of the teeth. The
protuberant jaws give not only large
mouth and palate, but ample passage
for air through nose and throat. The
small jaws of Europeans, according to
the professor, are due to an arrest of
normal growth providing a place for
the permanent teeth.

President's secretary, J. Sanches Az-

that the Madero administration was

"Please deny in the most

any manner with Orozco or the revo-

Butte, Mont.—A Chinaman in Butt*

put on his race in the Coeur d'Alene
mining district in 1894 Is still in ef-
fect. He spent one night in Wallace,
the center of the district, and then
returned to Butte.
The Chinamen were driven out ot
the district in 1894, when the mine
owners attempted to use them to sup-
plant white men. It was then decided
by the union miners, a set of men who
had used desperate methods in strikes,
that no Chinaman should ever be per-
mitted to live there.
Since that time Wallace has grown
from a mining camp into an agricul-
tural and business center, and is no
longer dominated by th* miners, and
it might be supposed that the old
feeling would no longer exist Pong
Bong, an intelligent Chinaman, who
went from this city to start a laundry
in the district, found to th* contrary.
He did not know of th* old rule, and
on his arrival asked where he could
find the Chinese colony. Learning
there was none, he sought rooming
houses, but was turned away from all.
He was being followed about by n
crowd in which there waa much hos-
tility evident when a policeman pick-
ed him up. He went to polio* head-
quarters and was there advised that
he would better accept th* protection

the cardinal Democratic principle of

Trust Articles on Free List.
"5. We do not abate one jot of
our opposition to trusts, which in a
large measure are fostered and made
possible by the Republican policy of
protection. We reiterate the Demo-

articles should be placed In the free

that there are good trusts and bad
trusts, to be determined by the priv-
ilege or favor of some officer. This

any interests, incidental or otherwise.

New York.—The romance of th*
sugar bush makes spring in the Adl-
rondacks one of the most Interesting
periods of the year. For time out of
mind “sugar weather" has been the
designation of warm days and cold
nights in the early spring, before the
snow is gone, and "the sugar snows”
have been the heavy, great-flaked, and
almost early April windless storms.
Maple sugar is Inherited from the In-
dians; perhaps it would be better to
say spoils from the forest Indians of
the east. The Puritans found the In-
dians making maple sugar by the
primitive method of dropping red-hot
stones in watertight baskets full ot
sap gathered from gashed maples In
the hardwood. The Puritans knew a
good thing when they saw it, and they,
too, made maple sugar, and in the
sugar bush, in the melting snows of
spring, were enacted many ot the
horrid tragedies of the New England
frontier, when tfie Indians came raid-
ing out of the New Hampshire, Ver-
mont, and other back lands Into
which they had been forced by the
advance of the white men. The In-
dian war parties carried parched corn
and maple sugar to eat.
When the pioneers moved westward,
they carried with them great Iron ket-
tles which served so many useful
purposes; which held the hot water in
which hogs were scalded in the fall;
which held the sap and syrup In the
spring; which were used to boil down
the soft soap In the spring and sum-
mer, and which served for apple and
other fruit butters when the fruit har-
vest was at hand. In these days some
of the descendants of the old pioneers
have these old kettles on tripods in
their front yards, full of earth and
green with plants during the summer
months, for the day of the old sugar
kettle is nearly gone, pans having
taken their places.
With the passing of the kettle, much
of the romance of the sugar bush pass-
ed away. The sugar kettle had cer-
tain charms not to be had in scientific
pans in over-nice sugar houses In too
well-kept sugar bushes.
In the old days, generosity was the
habit of the pioneer. He was so lone-
ly that he gave much for the sake ef
company and rare jubilation. The
year was bitter and hard, but at cer-
tain times he had Thanksgiving,
Christmas holidays, and
Ing-off.
The pioneer had his

lock and pine for the logs, the
We favor a tax upon incomes
as a part of the revenue system of
the Federal Government, as a just
measure for equalizing the burdens,
ot taxation and as an additional means
of affording relief for tariff exactions.
Opposes Aldrich Monetary System.
"10. We are opposed to the Al-
drich currency scheme as a danger-
ous consolidation ot the money pow-
er, and we demand the rehabilitation
of our monetary system by such re-
vision of the National banking law as
will decentralize the control of the
nation's money and commercial credit,
.providing such a system as will safe-
guard it from domination by sectional
or particular financial or political in-
fluences, and while It will be fair for
the honest, farming and laboring In-
testests of the whole country.
Against Indiscriminate Injunction*.
”11. The Democratic party has
been the constant friend of labor both
in the State and in the Nation In
securing adequate laws for its protec-
tion and the advancement of Its in-
terests. Injunctions ought not to is-
sue in any cause in which an injunc-
tion would not properly issue if no
industrial dispute was involved, and
we adhere to the right of trial by
jury in the Federal Courts in in cases
of indirect complaint.
“We recognize the right of labor
and agricultural organizations to gath-
er for the proper benefit of the mem-
bership, and such organizations should
not be deemed illegal combinations in
restraint of trade.
For National Arbitration Board.
"We favor a National board of ar-
bitration and consultation, but not of
compulsory arbitration; a board cloth-
ed with powers with which it can be
legally clothed to investigate and ad-
just disputes and differences between
the corporations engaged in interstate
commerce and their employes when
invoked by the parties at interest.
“12. We hold the platform pledges
of the party to be the covenant be-
tween such party and all of the peo-
ple. binding on all officers and repre-
sentatives of such party, and we regard
the honest platforms thereof as the in-
dispensable foundation of party gov-
ernment, while a disregard thereof
necessarily leads to party destruction
and to machine rule.
Broken Republican Pledges.
"We arraign the Republican admin-
istration for its flagrant disregard of
its pledges in its platform to give re-
lief to the people from tariff burdens
that they made the cost of living in-
tolerably high and we declare that by
such wanton breach of faith and abuse
of public confidence the Republican
party deserves the condemnation ot
all patriotic men.
People’s Right to Rule.
"13. Subject to the limitations that
the Government shall be republic In
form, we reaffirm the right of the
people of each State to mold and
change their institutions at pleasure
according to their own judgment of
what Is to their best interests.
