PREFACE.
This issue of The Daily News Almanac and Year-Book
lorifams not only the usual statistical and other matter, re-
vised and brought down to date, but considerable information
of special interest and importance. Mention may be made,
for example, of the following:
The presidential campaign in the United States, resulting
in the defeat of the hitherto dominant political organization
and the birth of a new national party. Details of the national
nominating conventions are given and the national party plat-
forms are published in full. Election returns from every
county in the union are presented.
The enactment by the American congress of laws estab-
lishing a parcel post system, giving veterans of the civil war
service pensions and providing for the permanent government
and operation of the Panama canal, now nearing completion.
Under the title "Work of the 63d Congress" summaries of
many other acts of almost equal importance will be found.
The successful war waged by Bulgaria, Servia, Greece and
Montenegro against Turkey, promising radical changes in the
map of southeastern Europe and possibly solving the intricate
Balkan problem.
Progress of the revolution in China leading to the abdi-
cation of the Manchu dynasty and the establishment of a great
republic on an apparently firm basis.
Sinking of the Titanic, the world's largest steamship, with
the loss of more than 1,500 lives, constituting the greatest
tragedy of its kind in the world's history.
Attainment of the south pole by Roald Amundsen, the
discoverer of the northwest passage.
Capital punishment and its effect on homicides.
The Daily News Almanac and Year-Book is indebted to
city, state, national and other officials for the bulk of the facts
and figures presented herewith.

ERAS OF TIME.
The Gregorian year 1913 corresponds to the fol-
lowing eras:
From July 4th the 138th year of the Independence
of the United States.
The year 7421-22 of the Byzantine era; year 7422
begins Sept. 1.
The year 8022 of the Greek church, beginning
Jan.* 14.
The year 5673-74 of the Jewish era; year 5674
begins at sunset Oct. 1.
The year 1331-32 of the Mohammedan era; year
1332 begins Nov. 30.
The year 6626 of the Julian period, and Jan. 1.
' 1913, is the 2,419,769th day since the beginning of
that era.
CHRONOLOGICAL CYCLES.
Dominical letter E . Lunar cycle or
Epact (moon's age, Jan. 1). . . 22 i Solar cycle
EXPLANATORY NOTE The Dominical letter or
letters (two for leap year), or Sunday letters,
indicate the day of the year on which the first
Sunday occurs, the first seven letters of the al-
phabet being used. Thus, for 1910, the Dominical
letter is B, the second letter of tho alphabet, anil
hence the second day of the year will be the first
Sunday of the year. In leap years two letters are
used, the first being for January and February,
and the latter, being the preceding letter, an-
swers for the last ten months, in order to main-
tain the cycle. The rule for obtaining the Do-
minical letter for any year is somewhat compli-
cated and for that reason is omitted here. The
Golden Number Is that number of a cycle of nine-
teen years which shows how many years have
elapsed since the new moon fell on Jan. 1, for in
nearly nineteen years the solar and lunar years
nearly come together. The chief use of this cycle
is in fixing the date of Easter, and in this same
connection is used the Epact. The Solar Cycle
is the number of years that have elapsed since
the days of the week fell on the same days of
the year, or when there will, therefore, be a recur-
golden number 14; Roman Indiction 11
18 -I Jewish Lunar cycle 11
rence of the Dominical or Sunday Letter. This
would be the case every seven years but for leap
year, hence four times seven is the cycle, or
twenty-eight years. It is the remainder found by
adding nine to the year and dividing the sum by
twenty-eight. The Roman Indiction is a cycle of
fifteen years and is of no utility except to chro-
nologers. It is the remainder found by adding
three to the year and dividing by fifteen. The
Julian Period is a cycle of 7,980 years and is the
product of the three cycles. Golden Number (19),
Solar Cycle (28) and Roman Indiction (15). and
hence shows the time when these cycles will co-
incide, or begin at the same time. The first of
this cycle will be completed in the year 2267; It
is the year + 4713. The Dionysian Period is a
cycle of 532 years and is called the great Paschal
cycle, being the product of a completed solar and
lunar cycle (28X19). It is the remainder found
by adding 457 to the year and dividing by 532,
and with the Julian Period is chiefly used bjs
chronologers. The Jewish Lunar Cycle is always
three less than the Golden Number and is used
by the Jews in fixing the time of tlieir festivals.

NOTE To ascertain any day of the week first
'look in the table for the year required and under
the months are figures which refer to the corre-
sponding figures at the head of the columns of
days below. For example: To know on what
day of the week July 4 was In the year 1895, in the
table of years look for 1895, and in a parallel
line, under July, is figure 1, which directs to
column 1, In which it will be seen that July 4
falls on Thursday.
*1752 same as 1772 from Jan. 1 to Sept. 2. From
Sept, 14 to Dec. 31 same as 1780 (Sept. 3-13 were
omitted). This Calendar is from Whitaker's Lon-
don Almanack, with some revisions.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
CHART OF THE HEAVENS.
EXPLANATION The chart of the heavens shows
all the bright stars and groups visible in the United
States, Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Hawaii. Stars
of the third magnitude are sometimes shown in
order to complete a figure.
If a bright uncharted body be seen near the
"ecliptic circle" it must be a planet. To locate the
planets or moon refer to the tables "Position of
Planets" and "Moon's Place" in the almanac pages,
find the proper signs on the chart on the "ecliptic
circle" and an inspection of that part of the heav-
ens, comparing with the chart, will serve to iden-
tify the planet and all the surrounding objects. Of
course there must be somewhat of distortion south
of the equator, but not sufficient to be confusing or
to prevert the use of the pointer system. For in-
stance, an extension of the west side of the square
of Pegasus three times as far south will come close
to Fomalhaut.
Because of the earth's motion from west to east
(opposite to the direction of the arrow in the chart),
the stars rise 4m. earlier each day or 30m. per
week, or 2h. a month. The chart shows the posi-
tion at 9 p. in. Then if the position for any other
hour be desired, as for 7 p. m., count back one
month, or ahead one month for 11 p. m., and so on
for any hour of the night.
A circle described from the zenith on the "zenith
circle" for the desired latitude with a radius of
90 (see graduated meridian) will show about what
stars are above the horizon. Thus Capella is near
the overhead (zenith) point on latitude 40 north
Jan. 15, 9 p. m., as will be Algenib in the handle
of the Big Dipper at 3 a. m. Then from Capella
or Algenib all the surrounding visible groups can
be identified. The "pointers," being 5 apart and
always in sight, may be used as a convenient unit
of measure; also when visible the Belt of Orion,

Explanation: By the absolute scale of magnitudes
stars brighter than Aldebaran and Altair are indi-
cated by fractional or negative quantities, thus
Vega 0.2 and Sirius 1.4. As the magnitudes in-
crease the brilliancy decreases, each increase of a
unit being equal to a decrease of about two and
one-half in brightness.
To ascertain when any star or constellation will
be on the upper meridian add the number opposite
iu the column "For Meridian Passage" to the fig-
ures in the following table "Sidereal Noon,"
taking note whether such figure be "Morn." or
"Eve." If Morn, and the sum is more than
12h. the result will be Eve. of same day; if
"Eve." and the sum is more than 12h. the result
will be Morn, of the next day. Having found the
time of meridian passage, for the rising subtract
and for the setting add the numbers opposite the
star in the column headed "For Rising and Set-
ting" and observe the direction as to Morn, and

( ) in the last columns are circumpolar and do
not rise or set in the latitude named in the head
of that column. Stars having an asterisk (*) in the
last columns are only to be seen in the far south and
then when near the meridian, as the vapors of the
horizon will prevent seeing them when they rise or
set. To tell how high up from the nearest point of
the horizon a star will be at its meridian passage
subtract the star's declination from 90 and if th
result is loss thai: the latitude of the place of
the observer that star will neither rise nor set,
but is circumpolar, and the difference between that
result and the latitude shows the star's altitude
above the north point of the horizon or below the
southern horizon. Or (90 Dec.) lat. = alt. or
elevation of the star above the nearest point of
the horizon at meridian passage for stars of a
south, dec. Examples:
Sidereal noon, Oct. 30, 9:28 p. m.

ian passage.

Or by subtracting = 4:16 p. m. = rising.
Fomnlhaut dec., 30 s. 90 30, =60 40, = 20.
Altitude of Fomalhaut in latitude 40 at its me-
ridian passage. To measure celestial distances
with the eye keep in mind that one-third of the
distance from the zenith to the horizon is 30.
For smaller measurements use the "pointers" in
the "big dipper/' which are nearly 6 apart a
convenient celestial yardstick because always to
be seen. In the case of a star whoso dec. is such
as to bring it nearer to the zenith than to a
horizon at meridian passage, it will be more con-
venient to use its zenith distance as a means of
locating it. The difference between the latitude
and dec. Is this zenith distance. If the dec. Is
greater than the latitude then such difference is
to be counted northward, otherwise southward
'rom the zenith.

The sun's surface is 12.000 and its volume
1,300,000 times that of the earth, but the mass
is only 332,000 times as great and its density
about one-quarter that of the earth. The force
of gravity at the surface of the sun is twenty-
seven times greater than that at the surface of
the earth. The sun rotates on its axis once in
25.3 days at the equator, but the time is longer
ut the higher latitudes, from which fact it is
presumed that the sun is not solid, at least as
to its surface.
THE EARTH AND THE MOON.
Earth The equatorial diameter of the earth is
7,926.5 miles and the polar diameter 7,899.5 miles;
equatorial circumference, 25,000. The linear ve-
locity ol the rotation of the earth on its axis
at the equator is 24,840 miles a day, or 1,440
feet a second; its velocity in its orbit around the
eun is approximately nineteen miles per second,
the length of the orbit being about 560,000.000
miles. The superficial area of the earth accord-
Ing to Encke. the astronomer, is 197,108,580 square
miles, of which two-thirds is water and one-
third land. The planetary mass is about 256,-
000,000 cubic miles.
Moon The moon has a diameter of 2,162 miles,
a circumference of about 6,800 miles and a sur-
face area of 14.685,000 square miles. Her mean
distance from the earth is 238,840 miles. The vol-
ume of the moon is about l-49th that of the earth
and the density about 3 2-5 that of water. The
time from new moon to new moon is 29 days 12
hours 44.05 minutes. The moon has no atmos-
phere and no water and Is a dead world.
L-lght travels at the rate of 186,300 miles per
second. It requires 8 minutes and 8 seconds for
light to come from the sun to the earth.

of the above-named planets at any time. In the chart the right ascension is given in even hours by the roman
numerals on the marginal circle and the parts of an hour can be easily estimated. The declination is given
on the XHth meridian, from which it will be easy to estimate with the eye the desired declination. Example:
Venus on July 1 will be in R. A. III^ and 15+, which will be just south of the Pleiades, 7 stars or seven sisters

EXPLANATORY NOTE The figure shows at a glance
when all of the major planets are brightest and
whether east of the sun (evening stars) or west
of him and morning stars, at the time. It also
shows the relative duration of visibility and bright-
ness as to the superior planets, Mars, Jupiter and
Saturn. With Venus, the light shaded portion
simply is the approximate measure of duration
and place of visibility and not of brilliancy, while
of the others it (the light portion) shows both the
duration and brilliancy. Thus, Jupiter will be
brightest the 5th of July, and then will shine
equally in the morning and evening; the last of
December he will decrease almost to invisibility.
It will be seen that Mars does not attain his max-
imum degree of brilliancy within the year. Venus,
being an inferior planet, between the earth and
sun, can never be seen opposite the sun, as in the
case of the others on the chart, nor is she at her
greatest brilliancy when farthest (in angular dis-
tance) from the sun, as shown.
From this it will be seen that the light portions
represent the comparative angular distance of the
planets from the sun. Then each of the twelve
spaces will be one hour spaces of 15 each, when
the day and night are equal, and more when the
night is more than twelve hours' duration.
Of course the chart can only show an approxi-
mation as to the boundaries of the light portion
It will, however, prove a valuable aid to the aver-
age person who is not an astronomer in under-
standing the movements of the planets and defi-
nitely settling the question of what constitutes
evening and morning stars.
ITINERARY AND CONJUNCTIONS OF THE PLANETS.
MERCURY (B), when brightest as a morning
star, Jan. 1-3, will be in m with the bright red
Antares about 15 above or west of him and in </
with c? Jan. 9, <? being the one farthest south,
and Dec. 5-10 in *= being at greatest angular
distance (21) west of o Dec. 10 and 1 35'
north of 9 Dec. 2. When brightest as an evening
star. March 2-7, he will be near the prime meridian
of the heavens and on the ecliptic circle or earth's
path and sun's apparent path, and pointed at 15
north by the two bright stars which form the east
side of the square of Pegasus, being at greatest
angular distance (18) east of O March 11, and
Nofv. 5-10 in Hi about 10 north of Antares. The
most favorable time of the year for seeing him
will be from Feb. 25 to March 10. When brightest
he will rise about one hour fifteen minutes be-
fore the O when a morning star and set about one
hour and twenty minutes after the O when an
evening star. At such times he cannot easily be
mistaken for a star because of his heavy steady
red light. Mercury passes through all the phases of
the moon, the same as Venus, in the course of a
revolution about the O but because of his nearness
to the O thev cannot be well observed as in the
case of 9. See figure under Venus. He will ap-
pear nearly as in the half-moon phase as at B or
F in the following figure.
VENUS (<?) will be one of the most attractive
celestial objects throughout almost the entire year,
being at her very brightest aspect the evenings of
the latter part of March and in the mornings of

May and June (see "Planets Brightest," etc., and
table of rising and setting of the planets, also
the chart "Visibility of the Planets"). Both 9
and & will cast a shadow when brightest in the
absence of the Moon. Those possessed of small
telescopes or good field glasses will find much
pleasure in watching her as she passes through all
of the phases shown in the annexed cut, and in-
creases or decreases in apparent size as she de-
creases or increases her distance from the earth,
as shown at A or E and D or H.

Explanation:
A About fifteen days before superior cT witb O
or latter part of December, 1913.
B At greatest elongation west of O. July 3, 1913.
C When brightest as a morning star, May 25 to
June 5, 1913.
D Just after inferior a" with the O or about
May 1. 1913.
E About fifteen days after superior <f with O
or about February 23, 1914.
F At greatest elongation east of O February
12, 1913.
G When brightest as an evening star about
March 15-25, 1913.
H Just before inferior tf with O April 15 to
20, 1913.
At the beginning of the year 9 will be in eastern
(sign ) as an evening star and nearly midway
between Fomalhaut 15 to the S. and the A in
- 15 north and about 15 west of the line joining
them. She passes the prime meridian of the
heavens in her eastward course past the stars
Feb. 2-3, and at greatest elongation (46 43')
east of O Feb. 12. March 5-8 she will pass
the boundary line between the constellations H
and T and will be just south of the three brightest
stars of T in the Head of the Ram. She continues
to advance eastward but more and more slowly
until Feb. 3. when she becomes stationary in
T 35 west of the Pleiades and Hyades. having
passed her point of maximum brilliancy March 19.
After remaining apparently stationary for a few
days she will begin to move slowly back westward
past the stars (Retrograde) with increasing speed,
passing the sun April 24, becoming a morning star,
until the middle of May, when she will again come
to a halt in T and then soon again assume her
forward eastward march past the stars, reaching
the vicinity of the Pleiades and Hyades the latter
part of June and the first of July when at greatest
angular distance west of the O. passing about
midway between those splendid asterisms, and the
last of July she will be in tf about midway between
Capella on the north and the Belt of Orion on the
south. The latter part of August she will be in
H with the brilliant stars Castor and Pollux north
of her and Procyon. in Canis Maior south, with the
great sun Sirius still farther south. She will enter
the constellation the first of September and pass
just to the south of the great cluster of dim stars
known as Praesepe, reaching the beautiful Regulus*
in Si at the end of the Handle of the Sickle about
the 25th, and the boundary line between and:
a the last of September; crosses the equinoctial
oolure at the point of intersection of the celestial
equator and ecliptic Oct. 20, entering the con-
stellation np, reaching Spica Virginia about Nov.
5; enters ill about Nov. 8 when very close to
the bright star Beta Scorpii, the midde star of
the three in the Head of the Scorpion; reaches a
point about 5 north of Antares the middle of
December and at the close of the year she will
be entering the constellation ? and be very close
to the O.
The following are her conjunctions: With the
, Jan. 11, Feb. 10, March 11 and April 8; with
the O, inferior, April 24. Then on the other side
of the sun, in the morning May 4, June 1 and 30.
with b July 21, 9 being 1 18' south; with the
3 again July 30, Aug. 28 and with V Aug. 29,
9 being 18' south of V; with the 3 Sept. 27,
Oct. 27, Nov. 26 and Dec. 2d. Her <f with 8
Dec. 2 was mentioned at the beginning of this
sketch.
MARS (c?) begins the year in east til; advancing
past the stars, he passes into f on the 10th and on
the 15th will be close to the star in the end of the
Handle of the Milkmaid's Dipper and passes just
north of the bottom of the Bowl of said Dipper,
up, Jan. 20-25. He enters -5 Feb.
20-25, when he will be about 5 south of the group
of three stars which mark the Head of the Goat,
and the only conspicuous stars in that constella-
tion. Still farther (25 c ) north the observer will
quickly catch the neat diamond-shaped asterisra
known as Job's Coffin, in the Dolphin, and the
trio of bright stars of Aquila, the Eagle, with
Altair, the lucida, midway between, while far-
ther to the north is Lyra, the Harp, which has
Vega as its lucida or brightest star, and the Great
Cross with Deneb at its bead and its long arm in
the Milky Way. From the middle of April to
May 10 he will be passing 15 below or south of
the Great Square of Pegasus, crossing the prime
meridian of the heavens on the 7th of April and
entering the constellation X formerly sign T
enters the constellation T the middle of June:
reaches the Pleiades or 7-Stars July 20-25, passing
about 5 south of them, and toward the end of
July will be on a line joining Aldebaran in the
Hyades and the Pleiades. By the end of August
he will be about midway between Capella on the
north and the "Ell and Yard" or Orion's Belt, on
the south and in the midst of the most beautiful
stars of the heavens. He will cross the line be-
tween v and H the middle of September and arrive
at western a Oct. 2. By the last of October he
will be between Castor and Pollux on the north
and Procyon, in the lesser dog (Canis Minor) on
the south, near which point he becomes stationary
the latter part of November, after which he retro-
grades or moves back westward up to the close
of the year, when he will be nearly at his brightest
and an "all-night" star. See chart.
His conjunctions will be as follows: With the
3 Jan. 5, Feb. 3, March 4, April 2, May 2 and 31,
June 29, July 28, Aug. 26, Sept. 23, Oct. 21, Nov.
18 and Dec. 15; with B Jan. 9. 16' south; a
Jan. 13, 47' south; 8 Feb. 25, 26' south: b Aug.
24, 1 9' north; at west, a or 90 west of O Oct 2.
JUPITER (a) will be found on the boundary line
between TTI and # at the beginning of the year and
will be very dim because of the near by sun. The
middle of February he will be just above (north)
of the bottom of the Milkmaid's Dipper in *.
His apparent motion among the stars is at no time
rapid enough to make it interesting to follow his
course past them, but he reaches his stationary
point in his orbit where his direction of motion is
in line with our line of vision about the first of

limits of the constellation Aries, being about 5
south of the Pleiades. About Feb. 1 he will begin
to* advance and April 1 will be in on the line joining
Aldebaran, in the Hyades, and Alcyone, the lucida
of the Pleiades, when he will be very dim because
of his nearness to the sun, being in cf with the
O May 29, and will be practically invisible for a
month before and after that date. When next
nicely visible he will be considerably to the east-
ward and by Sept. 10, when at western D he will
be almost in line between Elnath and Aldebaran
(see chart), and will vary but slightly from that
position during the remainder of the year.
His conjunctions will be as follows: With the

in all of which he will be about 6 south of the 3;
also July 1 and 29, Aug. 26, Sept 22, Oct. 19, Nov.

URANUS (8) may be found near the middle of

sunset and brightest in July and August. A south-
west diagonal through the square of Pegasus, pro-
duced somev/hat more than twice as far again, will
serve to locate him approximately, where he will
appear as a dim star, in the absence of any con-
siderable amount of moonlight.
NEPTUNE(^) may be found in H when brightest
in Jauanry a little west of an extension of a line
joining Castor and Pollux and about 10 south of

outermost of our system be seen.
All of these planets with our sun, the earth,
satellites, asteroids (about 700) and comets, con-
stituting . this system of worlds, have a common
orbital motion toward the constellation Lyra, near
Vega (see Chart of the Heavens), which point is
known as the "Apex of the Heavens."

pass off or close at the north pole.
IV. Total of the moon Sept. 15 invisible in the extreme eastern United
States, the moon setting as the eclipse begins. Entirely visible in Alaska and
the Pacific and setting more or less eclipsed in the middle and western states.
V. Partial of the sun Sept. 30, visible in the Indian ocean and south
Partial eclipse of the sun polar region, where this eclipse is beginning its history of something like
April 6. 1,000 years, recurring next Oct. 10, 1931.

DIRECTION'S When a plumb line
matches with "A"or"B" the pole
star is approaching the meridian
and the true local mean time then
is the time in column "On line."
Interpolate for intermediate days,
subtracting 4 minutes for each
day after or adding 4 minutes for
each day before any given date.
EXAMPLE July 25 begin to watch
plumb line about 4:40 a. m., and
Polaris will be exactly in line
at 5:10 a. m., correct mean local
time. To change this into local
standard time add 4 minutes for
each degree west of the time me-
ridian and subtract same for
stations east of the meridian.
Thus at Yakitat. Alaska, being
5 degrees west of the 135th
standard meridian, 20 minutes
must be added to the observed
time for standard time, and at
Jacksonville, Fla. (8 15' east of
90th meridian). 33 minutes must
be subtracted for central standard
time.

THE SIGNS AND CONSTELLATIONS OF THE ZODIAC.
Until recently .'t was taken for granted that the
present relationship between signs and constella-
tions of the zodiac was generally understood, as
all astronomical textbooks mention their disagree-
ment and explain the cause. The numerous letters
of inquiry concerning differences between the data
in this almanac and certain others show the
necessity for this note of explanation,
Thousands of years ago when the zodiac, that
belt of the heavens about 16 In width within
which move the moon and planets, was formed and
divided into twelve parts or seasons called signs,
each containing certain star groups called constel-
lations; each was given the name of an object or
animal which never did bear any relationship to
the configuration of the stars in that group or
division, but which did or is supposed to have
reference to certain astronomical or other facts.
Thus Libra, =*, the scales or balance, comes at
the autumnal equinox when there is an equilibrium
or balance between the length of day and night
the world over. Aquarius, , the water-bearer,
and whose sign is the Egyptian sign for running
water, comes at the season of greatest rains in
Egypt, and so on.
Since the time when these divisions were made
and named, owing to the precession of the equi-
noxes, resulting from the differing polar and equa-
torial diameters of the earth, the signs have
moved back west nearly a whole division or con-
stellation and where T was the first, X now is.
Hence, though the sun now enters the sign T
March 20, it is a month later when he enters the
constellation T. It must be apparent, therefore,
that any supposed influence or relationship which
early astrologers attributed to the position of the
sun, moon or planets when in certain of these
divisions can no long?r exist, as the sign now
only represents that space or division of the zodiac
where the controlling constellation was 2,000 or
more years ago, but is not now. Nevertheless
some almanacs still give the signs for the moon's

place, which is very misleading to those who at-
tempt to follow her in her course among the stars.
Hence, this almanac gives the constellation and
discards the ancient picture of the disemboweled
man as relics of the age of superstition. The sign
Js retained for sun's place in connection with the
seasons and sun's path through the zodiac each
month because of its relationship to the equinoxes
and solstices.
HARVEST MOON AND HUNTER'S MOON.
The full moon in September that falls near the
autumnal equinox (Sept. 23) is called the harvest
moon. Because at that time it is in that part of
its orbit where it makes the smallest angle with
the horizon it appears to rise at nearly the same
hour for several nights in succession, thus giving
an unusual number of moonlight evenings. The
same thing occurs to a slightly less degree at the
time of the first full moon after the equinox, when
it is called the hunter's moon. "It is true," says
Prof. George C. Comstock in his "Text-Book of
Astronomy," "that on the average the moon rises
and sets fifty-one minutes later each day than on
the day before. But there is a good deal of irreg-
ularity in the retardation of the time of moonrise
and moonset, since the time of rising depends
largely upon the particular point of the horizon at
which the moon appears, and between two days
this point may change so much as to make the re
tardation considerably greater or less than its
average value. In northern latitudes this effect is
particularly marked in the month of September,
when the eastern horizon is nearly parallel with
the moon's apparent path in the sky, and near the
time of full moon in that month the moon rises on
several successive nights at nearly the same hour,
and in a less degree the same is true for October.
This highly convenient arrangement of moonlight
has caused the full moons of these two months to
be christened respectively the harvest moon and
the hunter's moon."

DEATH OF SIR JOSEPH LISTER, SURGEON.
Joseph Lister, first Baron Lister, better known
under his previous title of Sir Joseph Lister, the
famous surgeon, died in London, England, Feb.
11, 1912. He was born April 25, 1827, and received
his medical education at University college, Lon-
don, and at Syme's clinic, Edinburgh. It was
while acting as surgeon at the Royal infirmary in
Glasgow that he made his great discoveries in the
use of antiseptics, which greatly diminished the
mortality from erysipelas, septicemia, pyaemia,
tetanus and hospital gangrene following surgical
operations. With the Pasteur germ theory as a
basis, Lister concluded that "putrefaction" in
wounds was caused by microbes introduced from
the outside and that if these microbes could be de-
stroyed putrefaction might be prevented. The
germicides which he discovered and the precautions
he advised in keeping germs from entering the
wounds wrought a revolution in hospital practice.

TIME AND STANDARDS OF TIME.
Various kinds of time are in use in this country:
1. Astronomical Time or Mean Solar Time This
is reckoned from noon through the twenty-four
hours of the day and is used mainly by astro-
nomical observatories and in official astronomical
publications. It is the legal time of the Dominion
of Canada, though "standard" and "mean" time
are in general use there as in this country.
2. Mean Local Time This is the kind that was
in almost universal use prior to the introduction
of standard time. This time was based upon the
time when the mean sun* crosses the meridian
and the day begins at midnight. When divided
into 1 civil divisions years, months, weeks, days,
etc. it is sometimes called civil time.
3. Standard Time For the convenience of the
railroads and business in general a standard of
time was established by mutual agreement in 1883
and by this calculation trains are now run and
local time is regulated. By this system the United
States, extending from 65 to 125 west longitude,
is divided into four time sections, each of 15 of lon-
gitude, exactly equivalent to one hour (7% or 30m.
on each side of a meridian), commencing with the
75th meridian. The first or eastern section in-
cludes all territory between the Atlantic coast and
an irregular line drawn from Buffalo to Charleston,
S. C., the latter city being its southernmost point.
The second or central section includes all the ter-
ritory between this eastern line and another irreg-
ular line extending from Bismarck, N. D., to the
mouth of the Rio Grande. The third or mountain
section includes all the territory between the last
named line and nearly the western borders of Idaho,
Nevada and Arizona. The fourth or Pacific section
includes all the territory of the United States be-
tween the boundary of the mountain section and
the Pacific coast. Inside of each of these sections
standard time is uniform and the time of each
section differs from that next to it by exactly one
hour, as shown on the map.
*Owing to the eccentricity of the earth's orbit
and the inclination of the equator to 1 the ecliptic,
the apparent motion of the sun is retarded or
accelerated according to the earth's place in its
orbit. Hence, to take the actual sun as a guide
would necessitate years, days and their subdivis-
ions of unequal length. Therefore an imaginary or
"mean sun" was invented. The difference between
apparent and mean time is called the "equation
of time" and may amount to a quarter of an hour
in twenty-four hours. It is the difference between
the figures in "Sun at noon mark" column in calen-
dar and twelve hours. The figures on a correct
sun dial give the apparent time.
STANDARDS OF TIME.
The following is the table of times, based upon the meridians used by the United States and
Canada:

It Is obvious that to express the time of rising
and setting of the sun and moon In standard time
would limit the usefulness of such data to the
single point or place for which it was computed,
while in mean time it is practically correct for
places as widely separated as the width of the
continent (see note at bottom of February cal-
endar), and persons having obtained the mean
time by the rising or setting of the sun or moon
may easily ascertain the correct standard time
of any event by making use of the following ta-
ble and map:

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR
All the calculations in The Daily News Alma
nac and Year-Book are based upon mean or clock
time unless otherwise stated. The sun's rising
and setting are for the upper limb, corrected for
parallax and refraction. In the case of the moon
no correction is needed, as in the sun, for "par-
allax and refraction": with her they are of an
opposite nature and just balance each other. The
figures given, therefore, are for the moon's cen-
ter on a true horizon such as the ocean affords.
The calculations in each of thp geographical
divisions of each calendar page will apply witti
sufficient accuracy to all places in the contiguous
North American zones indicated by the headings
of the divisions.
The heavy dotted lines show the arbitrary (stand-
ard) divisions of time in the United States. The
plus and minus marks on either side of the me-
ridian lines show whether it is necessary to add to
or subtract from the mean time of points east or
west of these lines to arrive at actual standard
time. Example: Chicago is 2% east of the 90th
meridian, therefore Chicago local time 2% x 4
= 10 to be subtracted from mean time to = stand-
ard time, and for Boston standard (eastern) time,
16m. must be subtracted from mean time.

RURAL AND URBAN CO-OPERATIVE BANES,
RAIFFEISEN SYSTEM.
The Raiffeisen banking system was founded In
Germany in 1862. Its author was Friedrich Wil-
helm Raiffeisen, an economist who believed that the
agricultural crisis prevailing in 1846-1847 was due to
the fact that small land owners, in order to secure
necessary funds, were compelled to pay ruinous
rates of interest to usurers. His idea was to or-
ganize rural communities into mutual credit asso-
ciations, through which the members might obtain
loans at a low rate of interest. The main prin-
cioles underlvine the associations or "banks"
which he founded were these:
1. Unlimited liability of the members.
2. A restricted area of operations.
3. Gratuitous management.
Loans eiven hv these banks are usually on per-
sonal security, being confined to members of the
association, to \vhich only trustworthy persons are
admitted. The membership being restricted, those
beloneine to the group are personally known to
one another and, as the members are mutually re-
sponsible, it is to their interest to see that the
borrower makes proper use of his money and to
help him when he is in difficulties. In order to
enable the associations to loan money at a very
slight advance on the rate of interest which they
themselves have to pay, the management must be
almost eratultons. TJsuallv onlv the treasurer Is
Bald for his services. The payment of dividends
is prohibited or Is limited to a small percentage.
In 1909 there were 12,614 (reporting) rural banks In
Germany, which had total membership of 1,163.186,
or an average of 92 per bank. The total business
done amounted to SLoH.Ba.l(R. The system has
spread to other countries and its principles are
applied, with such modifications as are found nec-
essary, to hundreds of "banks" organized for mu-
tual benefit purposes.
SCHULZE-DELITZSCH SYSTEM.
The Schulze-Delitzsch system of popular co-op-
erative banks was devised by Hermann Schulze-
Delitzsche, a leader in the German co-operative
movement, between 1850 and I860, and therefore
antedated and furnished the inspiration for the
Raiffeisen svstem of rural banks. These banks
were established especially for the benefit of urban
communities, but all occupations, including farm-
ing, were included. Like the Raiffeisen banks,
they were organized for the purpose of lending
money on moderate terms to the members of the
association, but unlike the rural concerns they
have a wide area of operation, accumulate capi-
tal, pay dividends and have paid managers. Ex-
cept for the co-operative feature their business is
done for the mos't nart on ordinary banking lines.
There were 939 of these banks in 1910, with a
membership of about 600,000. In that year about
$1,000,000,000 was used in making short time loans
to members.
Both the Raiffeisen and Schulze-Delitzsch banks
are affiliated with central institutions and general
federations which supply money if required ana
help out in whatever directions needed.

SUIT AGAINST INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY.
The United States government instituted a suit
against the International Harvester company April
30, 1912, by filing a petition in equity in the fed-
eral District court in St. Paul, Minn., under the
provisions of the Sherman antitrust law. The gov-
ernment asked:
That the $140,000,000 corporation be dissolved on
the ground that it was a monopoly in restraint of
trade.
That injunctions be issued to bar from interstate
commerce the products of the International Har-
vester company or of the International Harvester
Company of America, its selling agency.
That receivers be appointed to take charge of
the property and wind up the business of the de-
fendant, if the court finds such action compatible
with public interest.
The following corporations and individuals were
mentioned as defendants in the petition:
International Harvester company.
International Harvester Company of America.
International Flax Twine company.
Wisconsin Steel company.
Wisconsin Lumber company.
Illinois Northern railway.
Chicago, West Pullman & Southern Railroad com-
pany.
Cyrus H. McCormick.
Charles Deering.
James Deering.
John J. Glessner.
William H. Jones.
Harold F. McCormick.
Richard F. Howe.
Edgar A. Bancroft.
William J. Louderback.
George F. Baker.
Norman B. Ream.
Charles Steele.
John A. Chapman.
Elbert H. Gary.
Thomas D. Jones.
John P. Wilson.
William L. Saunders.
George W. Perkins.
The chief charges by the government against
the Harvester company were:
That the company, in monopolizing the manu-
facture and sale of harvesting machinery, advanced
prices "to the grave injury of the farmer and the
general public.
That the company controlled at least 90 per cent
of the trade in the United States in harvesters or
grain binders, 75 per cent of the mowers and more
than 50 per cent of the binder twine.
That the company absorbed competing companies
while allowing the companies still to advertise as
being independent, "thereby misleading, deceiving
and defrauding the public and more effectually
crippling existing competitors and keeping out new
ones."
That the defendants resorted to unfair trade
methods by attempting to induce agents to handle
only their products.
That they bought up patents to perpetuate the
monopoly.
That in organizing the International Harvester
company the defendants were actuated by a de-
termination to form a monopoly.
That the company bound retail dealers by con-
tract not to sell the products of any other manu-
facturer.
That the Harvester company received iron, steel
and lumber from the Wisconsin Steel company and
the Wisconsin Lumber company, subsidiaries, which
were used to eliminate competition.
That the company used railroads which it con-
trolled to obtain undue preference from railroads
connecting with them.
The International Harvester company was organ-
ized in New Jersey in 1902. Prior to that time the
government declared there were ten or twelve es-
tablishments for the manufacture and sale of har-
vesting implements in active competition with each
other.
The alleged trust was formed through the combi-
nation of the McCormick Harvesting Machine Com-
pany of Illinois, the Deering Company of Illinois,
the Piano Manufacturing Company of Illinois, War-
der, Bushnell & Glessner Company of Ohio and the
Milwaukee Harvester company.
The company was incorporated in New Jersey
with a capital stock originally of $120,000,000. The
control of the capital stock was placed in the hands
of three voting trustees Cyrus H. McCormick.
Charles Deering and George W. Perkins, who issued
stock trust certificates to the persons actually own-
ing the stock.

PEAT SUPPLY OF THE UNITED STATES.
In a report on the uses of peat for fuel and
other purposes Mr. Charles A. Davis of the bureau
of mines, department of the interior, estimates
that there are In the United States, exclusive of
Alaska, 11,188 square miles of swamp lands having
peat deposits of good quality. "Assuming," he
says, "that the average depth of the peat in this
area is at least 9 feet, and that the average yield
will be 200 tons of salable fuel per acre for each
foot of depth, the total available fuel in these
deposits will reach 12,888,500,000 tons; this quan-
tity, if converted into machine peat bricks and sold
at $3 per ton, would have a value of $38.665.700,000
no mean resource, but one that would furnish
heat and power for the entire country for many
years."
Peat beds are found chiefly in the New England
states. New York, Ohio. Indiana, Michigan, Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Florida. The
production of peat for fuel has thus far been insig-
nificant in the United States. The total produc-
tion for fertilizer uses is about 40,000 tons a year,
the value ranging from $3.50 to $6 a ton.

States at the close of the fiscal year ended June 30,
1911, comprised 283 stations, of which 202 were on
the Atlantic and gulf coasts, 60 on the coasts of
the great lakes, 19 cm the Pacific coast and 2 on
the Ohio river. The crews numbered in all about

CENTER OF POPULATION AND MEDIAN LINES
The center of population, according to the bureau
of the census, may be said to represent the center
of the gravity of the population. If the surface
of the United States be considered as a rigid plane
without weight, capable of sustaining the popula-
tion distributed thereon, individuals being assumed
to be of equal weight, and each, therefore, to exert
a pressure on any supporting pivotal i>oint directly
proportional to his distance from the point, the
pivotal point on which the plane balances would,
of course, be its center of gravity, and this is the
point referred to by the term "center of popula-

tion as used by the census bureau in its reports.
The median point, which may be described as the
numerical center of population, is in no sense a
center of gravity. In determining the median point
Distance is not taken into account, and the loca-
tion of the units of population is considered only in
relation to the intersecting median lines as being
north or south of the median parallel and east and
west of the meridian.
The position of the center of population and its
movement during each decade since 1790 is shown
in the following taMe:
MEDIAN LINES.
In connection with the definition of the median
point another method of presenting facts with re-
gard to the geographical distribution of the popu-
lation has been noted, involving the location of
median lines. A parallel of latitude is determined
which evenly divides the population so thit the
population north of that parallel is the same as
that south. Similarly, a meridian of longitude is
determined which divides the population evenly as
between east and west. In calculating these me-
dian lines it is necessary, in the case of the square
degrees of latitude and longitude which are trav-
ersed by the lines themselves, to assume that the
population is evenly distributed through these
square degrees or to make an estimated adjustment
where this is obviously not the case.
The eastern terminus of the median parallel, ac-
cording to the census of 1910, is on the New Jersey
coast near Seagirt. In its course west this line
passes through central New Jersey, leaving the
state near Burlington and entering Pennsylvania
a few miles north of Philadelphia, thence passing
through Norristowu and continuing through south-
ern Pennsylvania and across the northern extremity
of West Virginia, leaving the latter state at a
point a few miles north of Wheeling. It nearly
bisects Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, crossing about
ten miles north of Columbus, O. ; twenty-five miles
north of Indianapolis, Ind., and about twenty miles
north of Springfield, 111. Through Missouri it runs
about thirty miles south of the Iowa and Missouri
line, thence passing through Nebraska about ten
miles north of its southern boundary, and across the
northern part of Colorado, passing about five miles
north of Boulder City. Its location in Utah is
about forty-five miles south of Salt Lake City.

There are no large towns near its course across the
northern part of Nevada and California. The west-
ern terminus of the median parallel is on the Pa-
cific coast, in Humboldt county, California, about
five miles north of Point Delgada and twenty miles
south of Cape Mendocino, the point of continental
United States extending farthest west.
The median meridian starts at Whiteflsh point, on
the northern peninsula of Michigan, near the eastern
end of Lake Superior, thence passing south about
twenty-five miles west of Lansing and through In-
diana about ten miles west of the Indiana-Ohio
boundary and twenty-five miles west of Cincinnati.
South of the Ohio river it bisects Kentucky,
crosses eastern Tennessee and leaves that state
twenty miles east of Chattanooga. Through Georgia
it passes close to the Georgia-Alabama line, about
two miles west of Columbus, Ga., leaving the state
near the intersection of the Alabama, Georgia and
Florida boundary lines. It then crosses the north-
western part of Florida and terminates in the Gulf
of Mexico at the city of Apalachicola. The follow-

Comparing the rate of growth in urban and rural
communities it is shown by the census bureau that
during the period between the census of 1900 and
that of 1910 the increase in urban population in
continental United States was 11,013,738, or 34.8
per cent, while the increase in rural population
was 4,963,953, or 11.2 per cent. There had been an
increase in urban population in every state, while
in six states there had been an actual decrease in
rural population. These states were: New Hamp-
shire, 5.4 per cent; Vermont, 4.2 per cent; Ohio,
1.3 per cent; Indiana, 5.1 per cent; Iowa, 7.2 per
cent; Missouri, 6.1 per cent.
METROPOLITAN DISTRICTS (1910).
Statistics have been compiled by the bureau of
the census showing the population of the chief
cities of the United States together with their
suburbs, comprising what may be termed "metro-
politan districts." A district of this character is
defined as consisting of the city together with the
urban portion of the territory lying within ten
miles of the city limits. The following table shows
the metropolitan districts of cities having a pop-
ulation of 200,000 or more in 1910:

IMMIGBATION FBOM 1821 TO 1870.
From 1821 to 1870 natives of Germany, Great Brit-
ain, Ireland, Scandinavia and Canada together con-
tributed substantially nine-tenths of all the immi-
grants to this country, but since 1870 their propor-
tion of the total number has steadily declined
from somewhat more than four-fifths for 1871-1880
to three-fourths for 1881-1890, about two-fifths for
1891-1900 and only a little more than one-fifth for
1901-1910.
Immigrants from Austria-Hungary, Italy and Rus-
sia, en the other hand, constituted less than 1 per
cent of all tne immigrants from 1821 to 1870, but
since then their proportion has steadily increased
from about one-sixteenth for 1871-1880 to one-sixth
for 1881-1890, one-half for 1891-1900 and very nearly
two-thirds for 1901-1910.

WHOLESALE PRICES, 1910 AND 1911,
[From bulletin No. 99 of the bureau of labor, Washington, D. C.]
While wholesale prices during 1911 showed a slight
decline from those in 1910, the fluctuation from
month to month was small, with a slightly upward
tendency during the latter half of the year. The
most important features in the movement of prices
during the year were the advance in the prices of
food products and the noticeable decline in those
of metals and implements.
The average of wholesale prices in 1911, as meas-
ured by the prices of 257 commodities, was 1.7 per
cent lower than the average for 1910, but with this
decline the level was only 0.2 per cent below the
high average of 1907 prices. Wholesale prices dur-
ing 1911 were 17 per cent higher than in 1900; 44.1
per cent higher than in 1897, the year of lowest
prices in the twenty-two year period from 1890 to
1911; 14.5 per cent higher than in 1890 and 29.3 per
cent higher than the average price for the ten
years 1890 to 1899.
The upward movement of prices which began in
the latter part of 1905 reached its highest point in
1907 in October, from which month there was a
general decline until August, 1908. Beginning with
September, 1908, wholesale prices increased without
a break in any month up to March, 1910; in April,
May and June prices declined slightly, but from
June to December, 1910, they remained at very
nearly the same level. Prices in January, 1911,
showed a slight decline from those of December,
1910, but through the year 1911 the fluctuation from
month to month was small. Wholesale prices in
March, 1910, were higher than at any other time
in the twenty-two year period from 1890 to 1911,
being 10.2 per cent higher than in August, 1908;
7.5 per cent higher than in March, 1909; 21.1 per
cent higher than the average yearly price of 1900
and 49.2 per cent higher than the average yearly
price of 1897. Wholesale prices in December, 1911,
however, were 0.9 per cent lower than in Decem-
ber, 1910, and 3.4 per cent lower than in March,
1910, but they were still 29.2 per cent higher than
the average price for the ten years 1890 to 1899 and
44 per cent higher than the prices of 1897.
Comparing 1911 with 1910, the group of commodi-
ties showing the greatest decrease in prices was
metals and implements, the decrease in the group
as a whole being 7.7 per cent. The other decreases
were: Cloths and clothing, 3.3 per cent; fuel and
lighting, 2.4 per cent; lumber and building mate-
rials, 8 per cent; housefurnishing goods, 4 per cent;
farm products, 1.6 per cent, and miscellaneous, 1.4
per cent. The only increases were 2.0 per cent in
food and 2.8 per cent in drugs and chemicals.

prices of certain commodities in the calendar years
1910 and 1911:

RELATIVE RETAIL PRICES OP FOOD.
The relative price, or index number, as it is tech-
nically called, of any article is the per cent which
the price of that article at any certain date is of
the price of the same article at a date or period
which has been selected as the base or standard.
The base selected for the compilation of retail
prices of food is the average price for the ten year
period 1890 to 1899. The average price for a num-
ber of years more nearly represents normal condi-
tions than does the price for a single year, because
of unusual conditions which may prevail in any
one year. In the first section of the following table
is shown for each of the five geographical divisions
and for the United States as a whole the simple
average of the relative prices of the fifteen articles
of food specified in the foregoing tables. In com-
puting the relative prices shown in the second sec-
tion of the table the relative price of each of the
fifteen articles was weighted according to the aver-
age consumption in workingmen's families in the
particular geographical division or in the United
States as a whole. The divisions are indicated by
letters: N. A.. North Atlantic; S. A., South At-
lantic; N. C., North Central; S. C., South Central;
W., Western; U. S., United States. The average
price for 1890-1899 equals 100.

COAL.
Comparing retail prices of coal in ton lots, for
household use, on Jan. 15, 1912, with prices Jan. 15,
1911. the average advance for thirty cities in all
parts of the United States on Pennsylvania anthra-
cite white ash, stove size, was .6 per cent; the
average advance for twenty-eight cities on same
coal, chestnut size, was 1.5 per cent, and the aver-
age decline for thirty-two cities on bituminous coal
was 1 per cent.
Comparing prices on April 15, 1912. with those on
April 15, 1911, the average advance for twenty-nine
cities on Pennsylvania anthracite white ash, stove
size, was 6.4 per cent; on chestnut size (twenty-
seven cities), 7.2 per cent, and the average advance

HIGH COST OF LIVING.
In a special message to congress March 13, 1912,
President Taft transmitted the first installment of
the information collected by the department of
state on co-operation and the cost of living in va-
rious European countries. The immediate result of
the inquiries through the consular offices was to
accentuate the fact that the increase in the prices
of the common necessaries of life was worldwide
and that it was engaging the attention of co-opera-
tive associations everywhere. It was shown by in-
vestigation that even where there had been an ad-
vance in wages the percentage had not kept pace
with the rise in the cost of food supplies. In Lon-
don, for example, wages increased 11. l per cent
from 1896 to 1910, while food prices increased 19.5
per cent. The wages of railway employes during
the same period had increased only 7.3 per cent.
In a table prepared by the Co-Operative Wholesale
society of Manchester, England, it was shown that
as compared with 1898 the increased cost of living
in 1910 was 13.36 per cent.
Tne consul at Havre, France, reported that a
comparison of food prices in November, 1900, and
November, 1911, showed heavy increases in all items
except sugar. The consul at Lyons reported that
the only commodity there that had not increased
in price was fish. Reports from Germany, Holland
and other countries were of a similar tenor. The
consul at Southampton reported that during the
last five years there had been an advance of 20 per
cent in the purchase price of fresh beef, mutton,
bacon, hams, butter, eggs, fruits, sugar, coffee,
fuel, tin goods, women's apparel, footwear, cloth-
ing, cotton goods, bedding, furniture and underwear.
With regard to co-operative associations it was
found that they flourished, especially in the united
kingdom. In 1862 there were 400 such societies with
90,000 members, while in 1908 they numbered more
than 3,000 and had a membership of 2,700,000. The
net profits from sales in 1908 amounted to nearly
$55,000,000. Opposition to such associations on the
part of tradesmen in general had decreased, though
antagonism still existed. Most of the societies had
insurance and educational departments and some
of them published weekly or monthly papers.
FLOOD IN THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
One of the most destructive floods in the history
of the Mississippi valley occurred in the spring of
1912. Owing to the heavy and late snowfalls and
the somewhat sudden melting of the snow in the
latter part of March and the first part of April a
vast volume of water was poured into the Missis-
sippi river by its tributaries. At some places the
levees were broken and at other places they were
overflowed, with the result that thousands of acres
of rich farming lands were inundated. At Cairo,
111., M<ay 4, the river stood at 53.9 feet, which was
1.7 feet above the high water mark of 1883. At
Memphis the high record mark was broken by 3 feet.
At the request of the mayor of Cairo troops were
sent to patrol the levees at that city April 2.
The soldiers were supplemented by hundreds of
railroad and other laborers and through their
efforts the dikes protecting the town were strength-
ened sufficiently to withstand the pressure. The
Mobile & Ohio levee broke April 4 and the drain-
age district north of Cairo was flooded, causing a
damage estimated at $5,000,000. Railroad service
was almost cut off, being maintained in some in-
stances only by the use of tugs where the lines
were under water. April 5 the government levee
west of Hickman, Ky., protecting the Reelfoot
lake district of Kentucky and Tennessee, gave way
and a large area of country was inundated.
April 7 it was estimated by government engineers
and state levee boards that as a result of the
floods, which then had continued two weeks, thirty
persons had been drowned and 30,000 made home-
less, that 2,000 square miles of territory had been
inundated and that damage had been caused
amounting to $10,000,000. Several levees on both
sides of the Mississippi above and below Memphis
had given way and large areas of land in Ten-
nessee, Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Mississippi
and Louisiana were under water. In the northern
part of the city of Memphis twenty-five blocks
were submerged, 1,300 persons were made homeless
and 3,000 were thrown out of work by the shutting
down of factories. Railroad traffic was interrupted
and Hickman, Ky., for a time was on the verge
of a famine on account of the lack of supplies.
The destitution in the flooded districts was great
until relieved by federal and state aid.
In Mississippi, where the flood was at its worst
about April 20, many deaths from drowning oc-
curred. Fifteen persons were lost near Benoit In
the flood that came from a break in the levee be-
tween that place and Beulah. It was reported that
altogether about 200 lives were lost in Bolivar
county, Mississippi. The majority of the victims
were colored.
Congress, at the request of President Taft, ap-
propriated $350,000 April 2 for the relief of the
flood sufferers. May 7 congress appropriated the
further sum of $1.239,179.65 for the same purpose.
The money was expended for supplies furnished by
the quartermaster-general and the commissary-gen-
eral of the army.
DEATH OF CLARA BARTON.
Miss Clara Barton, founder of the American Red
Cross, died at her home in Glen Echo, Md., April
12, 1912, at the age of 90 years. She suffered an
attack of pneumonia in February, 1911, and though
she recovered temporarily her health became en-
feebled and for the last few months of her life
she was an invalid. The American Red Cross was
founded by her in co-operation with others in 1881
and she was its president from that date until
1904. She was a nurse in the civil war and also
in the Franco-Prussian war, but after the organi-
zation of the Red Cross she devoted herself to the
relief of the victims of catastrophes in times of
peace. She was widely known in nearly all parts
of the civilized world.

several trainmen were injured. Mr. Harahan and
the others killed were asleep in a private car at-
tached to the rear of an express train which had
stopped at Kinmundy to take water. While it was
standing still the Panama limited, running at fifty
miles an hour, crashed into the private car, demol-
ishing it and instantly killing the men named.
Both trains were behind time. The limited was
not scheduled to stop at Kinmundy.

FEATURES OF CONVENTION.
The republican national nominating convention of
1912 was held in the Coliseum, Chicago, beginning
at noon, Tuesday, June 18, and ending at 10:30 on
the evening of Saturday, June 22. Details of the
preceding contest for delegates will be found else-
where in this volume under the title "The Presi-
dential Campaign of 1912." It is sufficient to say
here that the struggle was chiefly between William
H. Taft candidate for renomination, and Theodore
Roosevelt, candidate for a third term as president
of the United States. The former was supported by
the "conservative" and the latter by the "progres-
sive" element of the republican party. Contesting
128
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
delegations were chosen in many of the states and,
in order to pass upon them before the opening of
the convention, the national committee met in Chi-
cago June 6. Victor Rosewater of Nebraska acted
as chairman and William Hayward of the same
state as secretary. It was decided to have the
hearings open to the extent of admitting ten rep-
resentatives of press associations. Contests were
reported from Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Cali-
fornia, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Louis-
iana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Caro-
lina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia, Washington and the District of Columbia.
The total number of seats involved was 252, but a
number of the contests were between rival sets of
delegates favoring the same candidate. The seats
contested by Tart and Roosevelt delegates num-
bered 246 and of these 233 were awarded to Mr.
Taft and 13 to Col. Roosevelt, as follows:

Before the contests were taken up it was decided
that twenty votes would be necessary to demand a
roll call. As the members of the committee favor-
ing the Roosevelt candidacy did not exceed that
number the roll calls were comparatively few, most
of the cases being decided by viva voce vote. The
committeemen who generally voted to seat Roose-
velt contestees included George A. Knight (Cal.),
T. C. Dupont (Del.), W. B. Borah (Idaho), A. R.
Burnam (Ky.), Pearl Wight (La.), Frank B. Kel-
logg (Minn.), John G. Capers (S. C.), Thomas Thor-
son (S. D.), O. B. Loose (Utah), A. T. Rogers
(Wis.) and Sidney Bieber (D. C.). From the start
of the hearings the Taft committeemen were charged
with using "steam roller" tactics in keeping Roose-
velt delegates off the temporary roll of the conven-
tion. The charge was denied and the claim made
that each case was decided on its merits and in
accordance with republican precedent and usage.
Col. Roosevelt, whose interests in Chicago had
been looked after by United States Senator Joseph
M. Dixon of Montana and others, sent State Sena-
tor William Flinn of Pittsburgh, Pa., to assist
them at the sessions of the national committee and
finally came in person, June 15, to lead what he
publicly said was a "naked fight against theft and
thieves." In a signed statement, published June
17, he further declared that "the theft of Texas
and Washington, with which the national commit-
teemen closed a thoroughly disreputable career,
marked in some respects the climax of what had
been done. The theft of these two states was no
worse in kind than the theft of the delegates from
Arizona, California and certain other states. But
more delegates were stolen in Texas and in Wash-
ington than in any of the other states." At a
mass meeting of his friends in the Auditorium
on the night before the opening of the convention
Col. Roosevelt severely criticised the national
committee and said, among other things, that "it
is our duty to the people of the country to insist
that no action of the convention which is based
on the votes of these fraudulently seated delegates
binds the republican party or imposes any obliga-
tion upon any republican."
ELIHTT ROOT FOR CHAIRMAN.
Immediately after the convention was called to
order by Victor Rosewater at noon, June 18, Gov.
Herbert S. Hadley of Missouri made a motion to
substitute for the temporary roll of the convention
prepared by the national committee a roll prepared
by the Roosevelt forces containing the names of
ninety-two Roosevelt delegates in certain contested
cases. James E. Watson of Indiana raised the point
of order that nothing was in order until the con-
vention had been organized. The question was de-
bated and the chairman ruled that Gov. Hadley's
motion was out of order. Then Mr. Rosewater
offered Elihu Root of New York as the national
committee's nomination for temporary chairman.
The nomination was seconded by Job E. Hedges of
New York, Senator William O'Connell Bradley of
Kentucky and others representing the Taft adher-
ents. The Roosevelt candidate was Gov. Francis
E. McGovern of Wisconsin, who was nominated by
Henry F. Cochems of the same state, the nomina-
tion being seconded by Gov. Hadley, Gov. Hiram
Johnson of California, William Flinn of Pennsyl-
vania, Francis J. Heney of California and other
speakers. Something of a stir was caused when
Walter L. Houser of Wisconsin, Senator LaFol-
lette's campaign manager, declared that in obedi-
ence to the wishes of the senator the Wisconsin
delegation had decided to support no candidate for
temporary chairman. This caused Mr. Cochems to
withdraw from the delegation. The roll was called
by individual delegates instead of by states and
resulted in the election of Elihu Root by a vote of
558 to 502, as follows:

On the reassembling of the delegates at 11 a. m.
Wednesday, the chairman announced that the un-
finished business was the motion of Mr. Watson to
proceed to the appointment of the regular commit-
tees and the substitute motion of Gov. Hadley to
seat the Roosevelt delegates in place of an equal
number of Taft men on the temporary roll. By
agreement three hours were devoted to debate.
The principal pleas of the Roosevelt side were made
by Gov. Hadley of Missouri, George L. Record of
New Jersey and Henry J. Allen of Kansas. The
leading speakers of the other side were Mr. Watson
of Indiana. W. F. Dovell of Washington, James A.
Hemenway of Indiana, Robert E. Morris of Arizona
and Thomas J. Devine of Colorado. After consid-
erable confusion and a forty minute Roosevelt dem-

onstration, started by Mrs. W. A. Davis of Chi-
cago, Mr. Watson moved to refer to the credentials
committee the motion to seat the ninety-two Roose-
velt delegates. Gov. Charles S. Deneen moved an
amendment providing that no contested delegates
should vote on the membership of the credentials
committee or on its report. Mr. Watson then
moved to table the Deneen motion and on this the
roll was called by states and the Deneen amend-
ment was tabled by a vote 564 to 510. The motion
to appoint the standing committees was then
adopted without a contest and the names suggested
by the state caucuses were sent in, after which
the convention adjourned until noon of the follow-
ing day, Thursday.

BULKS.
The committee organized by the election of Thomas
J. Devine. national committeeman from Colorado
and an anti-Roosevelt man, as chairman. He de-
feated W. S. Lauder of North Dakota by a vote
of 30 to 18. The states voting for Lauder were
California, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Mary-
land, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey,
North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon. Pennsyl-
vania, South Dakota, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
James A. Hemenway of Indiana made a motion to
adopt a set of rules, one of which provided that
ten minutes should be given each side for the pres-
entation of cases affecting the delegations at large
and five minutes for district contests. Before any
further action was taken the Roosevelt members
of the committee, led by Mr. Heney of California,
left the room and went to the Roosevelt headquar-
ters in the Congress hotel. This was done, it was
said, at the request of Col. Roosevelt himself.
Those who went out included Messrs. Heney, Gal-
vin, Mitchell, Libby, Oarrington, Halbert, Sackett,
Cowles, Sullivan, Swift, Norton and Rav. Four
Roosevelt adherents remained and voted against
the adoption of the rules. These were C. St. Clair
of Idaho, Robert R. McOormick of Illinois, W. S.
Lauder of North Dakota and John N. Early of
Tennessee. The rules, as amended after the re-
tirement of the Roosevelt men and adopted by a
vote of 36 to 4, were as follows:
1. The roll of the states shall first be called to
ascertain what contests are to be submitted, and
they shall be heard in the alphabetical order of
states and territories and the District of Columbia.
2. Cases consolidated by the national committee
shall be consolidated for hearing by the commit-
tee on credentials.
3. Contestants not seated by the national com-
mittee shall open their case.
4. Thirty minutes to each side will be allowed
In contests over delegates at large and twenty
minutes in district contests. The contestant may
reserve five minutes of this time to close the argu-
ment. Parties to contests shall be given all time
that may be reasonably necessary to present be-
fore the committee all their evidence.
5. Immediately after each case is heard the com-
mittee will, after discussion, pass upon it.
6. No member of this committee shall be per-
mitted to vote in any case wherein such member
holds his seat on the facts involved in the con-
tests, and such member shall retire from the room
while the committee is discussing and acting upon
his case.
7. No one shall be admitted to the hearings be-
fore the committee except the officers and employes
of the committee and the parties to the case being
heard and their attorneys, except the five press
associations admitted by the national committee.
PEOPOSED BOLT.
Talk of a bolt by the Roosevelt delegates was
common at this stage of the proceedings and a
large number of them met in the Florentine room
of the Congress hotel at 12:30 o'clock on the morn-
ing of Thursday, after the walkout from the cre-
dentials committee. In the course of a speech
made to them Col. Roosevelt said:
"So far as I am concerned I am through. If you
are voted down I hope you the real and lawful
majority of the convention will organize as such
and you will do it if you have the courage and
loyalty of your convictions."
At a later meeting held in the same place the
following resolution, prepared by Henry J. Allen
of Kansas, was adopted unanimously:
"The Roosevelt delegates will not permit the title
to the nomination of the presidency of the United
States to be stolen. If the action of the conven-
tion on the report of the committee on credentials
removes from the roll the fraudulently seated dele-
gates, the Roosevelt forces will continue, in the
convention. If it does not, they will remain in
their seats and will cease to vote with any dele-
gates fraudulently seated and will not consider
themselves bound by any of its acts."
There was, however, considerable opposition on
the part of some of the delegates to a bolt or
walkout and also to the plan to refrain from vot-
ing. Illinois' delegation at a caucus held Thursday
afternoon went on record by a vote of 50 to 2 as
declining to bolt.
The credentials committee was in session prac
tically day and night from Wednesday evening
until Saturday afternoon, when its report as a
whole was accepted by the convention. The find-
ings of the committee were the same as those of
the national committee, the votes usually standing
34 to 14 for the Taft delegates. Most of the Roose-
velt members of the committee returned and took,
part in the discussions. They laid the greatest
stress on the Arizona, California, Texas and Wash-
ington cases.
CONTESTS BEFOBE CONTENTION.
Thursday but two brief sessions of the conven-
tion were held, one at noon and the other at 4
p. m. No business was transacted, as the creden-
tials committee was not ready to report. Friday
at noon partial reports were made by the creden-
tials committee to the convention and these were
taken up one by one and voted on by the dele-
gates. Most of the balloting was viva voce, but a
number of roll calls were had. The closest vote
was on the contest from the 4th California district,
in which the committee was sustained by 542 yeas
to 529 nays. Saturday the rest of the contested
cases were disposed of in a similar way, after
which the committee on permanent organization
made its report. It recommended that the tempo-
rary organization be made permanent. The report
was adopted without opposition.
STATEMENT BY ROOSEVELT.
Then by unanimous consent Henry J. Allen of
Kansas made a speech, in which he read the fol-
lowing statement from Col. Roosevelt:
"A clear majority of the delegates honestly elect-
ed to this convention were chosen by the people
130
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
to nominate me. Under the direction and with
the encouragement of Mr. Taft, the majority of the
national committee, by the so called 'steam roller'
methods, and with scandalous disregard of every
principle of elementary honesty and decency, stole
eighty or ninety delegates, putting on the tempo-
rary roll call a sufficient number of fraudulent
delegates to defeat the legally expressed will of the
people, and to substitute a dishonest for an hon-
est majoiity.
"The convention has now declined to purge the
roll of the fraudulent delegates placed thereon by
the defunct national committee, and the majority
which thus indorsed fraud was made a majority
only because it included the fraudulent delegates
themselves, who all sat as judges on one another's
cases. If these fraudulent votes had not thus been
cast and counted the convention would have been
purged of their presence. This action makes the
convention in no proper sense any longer a re-
publican convention representing the real republican
party. Therefore I hope the men elected as Roose-
velt delegates will now decline to vote on any
matter before the convention. I do not release any
delegate from his honorable obligation to vote for
me if he votes at all, but under the actual condi-
tions I hope he will not vote at all.
"The convention as now composed has no claim
to represent the voters of the republican party.
It represents nothing but successful fraud in over-
riding the will of the rank and file of the party.
Any man nominated by the convention as now con-
stituted would be merely the beneficiary of this
successful fraud; it would be deeply discreditable
to any man to accept the convention's nomination
under these circumstances; and any man thus ac-
cepting it would have no claim to the support of
any lepublican on party grounds, and would have
forfeited the right to ask the support of any honest
man of any party on moral grounds.
"THEODORE ROOSEVELT,"
After Mr. Allen had concluded his speech the re-
port of the committee on rules was tabled, leaving
the convention to operate under the old rules.
The repprt of the committee on platform was also
adopted after a platform presented by the LaFol-
lette adherents had been tabled. The roll was
called on the adoption of the platform, with the
result that 666 delegates voted for the platform
and 53 against it. Nineteen were reported as ab-
sent, while 343 Roosevelt delegates refrained from
voting.
NOMINATIONS MADE.
Nominations for president and vice-president were
then made. The call of states and the voting be-
gan at 8:23 p. m. and ended at 9:25 p. m., with the
announcement that William H. Taft was the nom-
inee of the republican party for president. The
naming of James >S. Sherman for vice-president
followed immediately, being accomplished without
organized opposition. A resolution offered by Mr.
Hemenway authorizing the removal of members of
the national committee refusing to support Taft
and Sherman in the campaign and the substitution
of others in their places was adopted and then the
convention at 10:30 p. m. adjourned sine die.
THIRD PARTY MOVEMENT.
Just before the convention adjourned a meeting
of Roosevelt adherents, including regular and con-
tested delegates from twenty-two states and men
of prominence in the progressive movement, met in
Orchestra hall and took preliminary steps to form
a third party, with Theodore Roosevelt at its head.
Gov. H. W. Johnson of California presided. In reply
to a set of resolutions nominating him for the
presidency Col, Roosevelt appeared and made a
speech of acceptance. The meeting, which was the
closing feature of convention week in Chicago,
ended early Sunday morning. Further details of
the action taken on this occasion and of the prog-
ress of the third party movement will be found
elsewhere in this volume.

STORY OF CONVENTION.
Before the democratic national nominating con-
vention opened in the 5th regiment armory in Bal-
timore, Md., June 25, the national committee,
against the protest of William J. Bryan of Ne-
braska, voted to present Alton B. Parker of New
York as candidate for temporary chairman. It
also took up the contest against the six delegates
at large from Illinois and those from the first ten
congressional districts, comprising the city of Chi-
cago. The contests were brought by the so called
Hearst-Harrison faction against the Roger C. Sul-
livan faction. The Sullivan delegates were placed
on the temporary roll by the unanimous vote of
the committee.
Shortly after the convention had been called to
order at noon on the opening day by the chairman
of the national committee, Norman E. Mack, Alton
B. Parker was named as the committee's choice
for temporary chairman. Mr. Bryan suggested that
Senator John W. Kern of Indiana be substituted,
but the latter declined to allow his name to go be-
fore the convention and instead nominated William
J. Bryan for the place. On the roll being called
Judge Parker was elected by a vote of 579 to 510
for Mr. Bryan. Mr. Parker's "keynote" speech
was devoted in the main to criticisms of the re-
publican party and especially to the scenes enacted
in the Chicago convention the week before.
UNIT RULE MODIFIED.
Undaunted by his defeat on the temporary chair-
manship, Mr. Bryan went into the convention on
the following day and won several notable victo-
ries. One was the adoption of a minority report
modifying the unit rule. The substance of the re-
port was that "the chair shall recognize and en-
force a unit rule adopted by a state convention
except in such states which by statute have pro-
vided for the nomination and election of delegates
in congressional districts and have not subjected
the delegates so selected to the authority of the
state committee or convention of the party, in
which case no such rule shall be held to apply."
The vote in favor of abrogating the unit rule to
the extent indicated was 565% for to 491% against
and was regarded as a distinct victory for the
"progressives" in the convention. Mr. Bryan's
plan to delay the consideration of the platform
until after the nominations were made was also
adopted and at his suggestion Senator Kern was
made chairman of the platform committee. It was
further decided that Senator-elect Ollie James of
Kentucky, who was favored by Mr. Bryan and his
friends, should be permanent chairman of the con-
vention.
The committee on credentials, to which had been
referred the Illinois contests, decided by a vote of
40 to 10 in favor of seating the Sullivan delegates.
The Hearst-Harrison faction threatened to carry the
fight to the floor of the convention, but finally gave
up the plan in the interest of harmony. Nothing
further was done in the matter.
CAPITALISTS ATTACKED.
Mr. Bryan was again the central figure of the
convention at the sessions held on the 27th. The
morning was devoted to routine business, but in
the evening the Nebraskan caused a decided sen-
sation by offering the following resolution:
"Resolved. That in this crisis in our party's ca-
reer and in our country's history this convention
sends greeting to the people of the United States
and assures them that the party of Jefferson and
of Jackson is still the champion of popular govern-
ment and equality before the law. As proof of
our fidelity to the people we hereby declare our-

selves opposed to the nomination of any candidate
for president who is the representative of or under
any obligations to J. Pierpont Morgan, Thomas P.
Ryan, August Belmont or any other member of the
privilege hunting and favor seeking class. Be it
further
"Resolved, That we demand the withdrawal from
this convention of any delegate or delegates consti-
tuting or representing the above named interests."
[Last paragraph withdrawn.]
Objection was made to immediate consideration
of the resolution, whereupon Mr. Bryan moved to
suspend the rule and consider the resolution at
once. After some discussion and at the request
of the delegates from Virginia he withdrew the last
part of the resolution asking the withdrawal of
delegates. In the course of his speech, which was
frequently interrupted by angry protests, Mr. Bryan
said:
"This is an extraordinary resolution, but ex-
traordinary conditions need extraordinary remedies.
We are now engaged in conducting a convention
that will place before the country the democratic
nominee, and I assume that each delegate is here
because he wants that nominee elected, and it is
in order that we may advance the interests of our
candidate that I introduce this resolution.
"There are questions upon which we may assume
the American people are informed. And there is
not a delegate in this convention who does not
know that an effort is being made right now to
sell the democratic party into the bondage of the
predatory interests.
"It is a most brazen, impudent and insolent at-
tempt to make the nominee of this convention the
bond slave of the men who exploit the people of
this country."
It required a two-thirds vote to suspend the rules
and pass the resolution and when it became ap-
parent that this would easily be obtained several
of the states changed their vote to yea. The re-
sult of the roll call was: Yeas, 889; nays, 196; not
voting, 2; absent, 1.
BALLOTS FOR PRESIDENT.
Following the adoption of the Bryan resolution,
which had thrown the convention into an uproar,
nominations for the presidency were in order. Os-
car W. Underwood of Alabama was placed in nom-
ination by John H. Bankhead of the same state;
Champ Clark's name was presented by Senator
James A. Reed of Missouri; Henry Wade Rogers
of New Haven nominated Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin
of Connecticut; John W. Westcott of Camden, N.
J., placed Woodrow Wilson in nomination; Senator
Benjamin F. Shively of Indiana nominated Gov.
Thomas R. Marshall of the same state, and M. A.
Daugherty of Ohio nominated Gov. Judson Harmon
of the same state. Long demonstrations followed
the naming of each candidate, those for Clark and
Wilson lasting more than an hour each. This, to-
gether with the numerous seconding speeches, pro-
longed the session, -which began at 8 o'clock Thurs-
day evening, to 6:43 o'clock Friday morning, when
the first ballot for the presidential nomination was
begun. It resulted as follows i

Marshall received 30 from Indiana and 1 from
Michigan. Baldwin received 14 from Connecticut
and 8 from Vermont. Ohio cast 1 for Bryan and 1
was absent. One delegate from Wisconsin was ab-
sent. Alaska cast 2 for Congressman Sulzer.
The convention, after taking the first ballot, ad-
journed at 7:14 a. m. to 4 p. m., when the ballot-
Ing was resumed. It continued without any de-
cisive result until 3:30 o'clock Saturday morning,
when an adjournment was taken until 1 o'clock in
the afternoon. On the tenth ballot New York cast
its ninety votes for Clark instead of for Harmon
and for a time it looked as though a stampede
would set in for the Missouri candidate. He re-
ceived 556 votes, which, as announced, was more
than a majority, but far short of the required two-
thirds vote. It was the high water mark of the
Clark wave; after that it receded steadily.
The afternoon session continued until 11 o'clock
and after a total of twenty-six ballots had been
taken the convention adjourned until Monday morn-
ing at 11 o'clock. Wilson made a net gain in the
course of the day of fifty-one votes. Clark began
with 554 and fell to 463%, a loss of 90% votes.
When the state of Nebraska was reached on the
call of the roll for the fourteenth ballot Mr. Bryan
changed his vote from Clark to Wilson, explaining
that the latter was fois state's second choice. He
said in part:
"Every candidate has proclaimed himself a pro-
gressive no candidate would have any considerable
following in this convention if he admitted himself
out of harmony with progressive ideas. By your
resolution, adopted night before last, you, by a
vote of more than four to one, pledged the country
that you would nominate for the presidency no man
w'ho represented or was obligated to Morgan, Ryan,
Belmont or any other member of the privilege
seeking, favor hunting class.
"This pledge, if kept, will have more influence
on the result of the election than the platform or
the name of the candidate. How can that pledge
be made effective? There is but one way, namely,
to nominate a candidate who is under no obliga-
tion to those wihom these influences directly or in-
directly control.
"The vote of the state of New York in this con-
vention, as cast under the unit rule, does not rep-
resent the intelligence, the virtue, the democracy
or the patriotism of the ninety men who are here.
It represents the will of one man Charles F. Mor-
phy and toe represents the influences that nomi-
nated a republican candidate and which are trying
to dominate here. If we nominate a candidate
132
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
under conditions that enable these influences to
say to our candidate, 'Remember now thy crea-
tor,' we cannot hope to appeal to the confidence of
the progressive democrats and republicans of the
nation. * * * Speaking for myself and for any
of the delegation which may decide 'to join me, I
with'hold my vote from Mr. Clark as long as New
York's vote is recorded for him."
While Mr. Bryan was making his explanation he
was frequently interrupted and the convention was
in such an uproar that he had difficulty in making
himself heard. Twelve of the Nebraska delegates
voted for Wilson and four for Clark. While the
effect of tbe change was not very apparent on this
or the other ballots taken on this day, it was un-
derstood that Speaker Clark's chances had prac-
tically vanished, and he himself afterward said
that Mr. Bryan was responsible for his defeat.
Balloting was resumed when the convention opened
at noon on Monday and continued until 12:43 o'clock
Tuesday morning. The feature of the session was
the continuous growth of the Wilson vote. On the
thirtieth ballot Wilson for the first time passed
Clark, his vote being 460 to 455 for the speaker.
On the thirty-ninth and fortieth ballots the New
Jersey candidate received 501% votes, the highest
number so far cast for him.
When the thirty-third ballot had been completed
and the delegates were awaiting the announcement
of the result some of the Missouri delegates ap-
peared with a banner, on which was an inscription
quoting Mr. Bryan as having said in 1910: "ITiave
known Champ Clark for eighteen years. He is ab-
solutely incorruptible and his life is above re-
proach. Never in these years have I known him
to be on but one side of the question and that
was on the side that represented the people." The
Missouri men carried the banner up to the Ne-
braska delegates and in front of Mr. Bryan him-
self. A melee followed, in which blows were struck
and epithets exchanged. Mr. Bryan went to the Mis-
souri delegation and asked Senator Stone, the chair-
man, if "the gratuitous insult just offered has the
sanction of Mr. Clark's managers." Another riot
followed, in which the police had to protect Mr.
Bryan from personal violence. Later, when some
degree of quiet had been secured, Mr. Bryan arose
to a question of personal privilege. Chairman James
permitted him to begin his statement, but soon in-
terrupted and, declaring that it was not a matter
of personal privilege, denied the Nebraskan the
right to continue. The anti-Bryan demonstration
was attended by scenes of disorder and violence
such as had not previously been witnessed in the
convention and was in marked contrast with the
favor shown the leader on the previous days.
Forty-two ballots tad been taken when the con-
vention adjourned until noon, the last ballot show-
ing 494 votes for Wilson, 430 for Clark and 104 for
Underwood, with scattering votes for Harmon,
Marshall, Baldwin, Bryan, Sulzer and Kern. On
reassembling the delegates took three more ballots
without result, though the outcome could be fore-
seen when on the forty-third ballot Illinois, under
the unit rule, cast fifty-eight votes for Wilson.
The governor made other gains, swelling his total
to 602, while .Clark dropped back to 329. The forty-
fourth ballot gave Wilson 629 and the forty-fifth, made
it 633. On the forty-sixth ballot there was a gen-
eral break in favor of Wilson and he was nomi-
nated by a vote of 990 to 84 for Clark and 12 for
Harmon. Before the result was announced the
vote was made unanimous. The forty-sixth and

Chamberlain of Oregon and William J. Bryan of
Nebraska were presented. Some of these gentle-
men declined to be considered in connection with
the position. Mr. Bryan was one of them, and in
making what he called his "valedictory speech"
said: "To-night with joy I surrender the standard
I have borne in three campaigns to the nominee
of this convention, and I challenge any one to say
that it has ever been lowered in the face of the
enemy." Gov. Marshall was nominated on the sec-
ond ballot by the following vote:

The national nominating convention of the seced-
ing republican faction, officially designated as the
progressive party, was held in the Coliseum, Chi-
cago, Aug. 5, 6 and 7. All the states in the union ex-
cept South Carolina were represented by delegates
to the number of more than 1,100, the voting
strength, however, being limited to 534. There
were no important contests and, as the nomina-
tions were unanimous, there were no roll calls.
The naming of Theodore Roosevelt for president
was a foregone conclusion and caused no surprise.
There was some talk of making either Judge Ben
Lindsey of Colorado or John M. Parker of Louisi
ana the candidate for the vice-presidency, but the
sentiment of the delegates crystallized in favor of
Gov. Hiram W. Johnson of California and he was
nominated without opposition. The features of the
convention were the keynote" speeches of Theo-
dore Roosevelt and Chairman Beveridge, the bar-
ring of certain negro delegates from the south
and the appearance of a woman Miss Jane Ad-
dams of Chicago in the role of seconding the nom-
ination of Mr. Roosevelt.
The committee on rules made a report, which
was adopted by the convention, that the name of the
new organization should be the "progressive party."
It was also decided on the recommendation of the
same committee that the basis of representation at
the next national convention shall be one delegate
for each congressional district, and in districts
where the party vote is greater than 5,000 one ad
ditional delegate for each additional 5,000 votes or

addition two delegates at large. The District of
Columbia, Alaska and Hawaii are to have one
delegate each. The platform adopted will be found

Delegates Eight.
Eight delegates, representing the populist party
of the United States, held a convention at the New

DEATH OF WILBUR WRIGHT.
Wilbur Wright, aeroplane inventor and aviator,
died at his home in Dayton, O., at 3:15 a. m.,
Thursday, May 30, 1912, from an attack of typhoid
fever. He became ill May 4 while on a business
trip in Boston and, after his return, rapidly grew
worse until the end came. Wilbur Wright and his
brother Orville were the first persons to make
aviation a practical art and a commercial success.
For a long time they worked in secret and their
ability to fly in a heavier-than-air machine was
doubted until finally it was demonstrated in public
in the United States and France. Both won many
prizes at home and abroad and in 1909 congress
awarded them a gold medal "in recognition and
appreciation of their ability, courage and success
in navigating the air." He and his brother aban-
doned actual flying in 1910 and devoted themselves
to the manufacture of aeroplanes. Wilbur Wright
was born in 1867 on a farm in Henry county, In-
diana.

JfATJQNAL PARTY PLATFORMS OF 1912.
SOCIALIST LABOR.
Adopted at New York city, April 10.
The programme of the socialist labor party is revo-
lutionthe industrial or socialist republic, the social
order where the political state is overthrown;
where the congress of the land consists of the rep-
resentatives of the useful occupations of the land;
where, accordingly, government is an essential fac-
tor in production; where the blessings to man that
the trust is instinct with are freed from the tram-
mels of the private ownership that now turn the
potential blessings into a curse; where, accordingly,
abundance can be the patrimony of all who work,
and the shackles of wage slavery are no more.
In keeping with the goals of the different pro-
grammes are the means for their execution.
The means in contemplation by reaction is the
bayonet. To this end reaction is seeking, by means
of the police spy and other agencies, to lash the
proletariat into acts of violence that may give a
color to the resort to the bayonet. By its maneu-
vers it is egging the working class on to deeds of
fury. The capitalist press echoes the policy, while
the pure and simple political socialist party press,
generally, is snared into the trap.
On the contrary, the means firmly adhered to by
the socialist labor party is the constitutional method
of political action, backed by the industrially and
class consciously organized proletariat, to the ex-
clusion of anarchy, and all that thereby hangs.
At such a critical period in the nation's exist-
ence the socialist labor party ca'lls upon the work-
ing class of America, more deliberately serious
than ever before, to rally at the polls under the
party's banner. And the party also calls upon all
intelligent citizens to place themselves squarely
upon the ground of working class interests, and
join us in this mighty and noble work of human
emancipation, so that we may put summary end
to the existing barbarous class conflict by placing
the land and all the means of production, trans-
portation and distribution into the hands of the
people as a collective body, and substituting for
the present state of planless production, industrial
war and social disorder, the socialist or industrial
commonwealth ai commonwealth in which every
worker shall have the free exercise and full benefit
of his faculties, multiplied by all the modern fac-
tors of civilization.
SOCIALIST.
Adopted at Indianapolis, Ind., May 17.
The socialist party of the United States declares
that the capitalist system has outgrown its his-
torical function and has become utterly incapable
of meeting the problems confronting society. We
denounce this outgrown system as incompetent and
corrupt and the source of unspeakable misery and
suffering to the whole working class.
Under this system the industrial equipment of
the nation has passed into the absolute control of
a plutocracy which exacts an annual tribute of mil-
lions of dollars from the producers. Unafraid of
any organized resistance, it stretches out its greedy
hands over the still undeveloped resources of the
nation the land, the mines, the forests and the
water powers of every state in the union.
In spite of the multiplication of labor saving
machines and improved methods in industry which
cheapen the cost of production, the share of the
producers grows ever less, and the prices of all
the necessities of life steadily increase. The
boasted prosperity of this nation is for the owning
class alone. To the rest it means only greater
hardship and misery. The high cost of living Is
felt in every home. Millions of wage workers have
seen the purchasing power of their wages decrease
until life has become a desperate battle for mere
existence.
Multitudes of unemployed walk the streets of our
cities or trudge from state to state awaiting the
will of the masters to move the wheels of industry.
The farmers in every state are plundered by the
Increasing prices exacted for tools and machinery
and by extortionate rent, freight rates and storage
charges.
Capitalist concentration is mercilessly crushing
the class of smail business men and driving its
members into the ranks of propertyless wage work-
ers. The overwhelming majority of the people of
America are being forced under a yoke of bondage
by this soulless industrial despotism.
It is this -capitalist system that is responsible
for the increasing burden of armaments, the pov-
erty, slums, child labor, most of the insanity
crime and prostitution and much of the disease
that afflicts mankind.
Under this system the working class is exposed
to poisonous conditions, to frightful and needless
perils to lifs and limb, is walled around with court
decisions, injunctions and unjust laws and is preyed
upon incessantly for the benefit of the controlling
oligarchy of wealth. Under it also the children of
the working class are doomed to ignorance, drudg-
ing toil and darkened lives.
In the face of these evils, so manifest that all
thoughtful observers are appalled at them, the
legislative representatives of the republican, demo-
cratic and all reform parties remain the faithful
servants of the oppressors. Measures designed to
secure to the wage earners of this nation as hu-
mane and just treatment as is already enjoyed by
the wage earners of all other civilized nations have
been smothered in committee without debate, and
laws ostensibly designed to bring relief to the farm-
ers and general consumers are juggled and trans-
formed into instruments for the exaction of further
tribute. The growing unrest under oppression has
driven these two old parties to the enactment of a
variety of regulative measures, none of which has
limited in any appreciable degree the power of the
plutocracy, and some of which have been perverted
into means of increasing that power. Antitrust
laws, railroad restrictions and regulations, with
the prosecutions, indictments and investigations
based upon such legislation, have proved to be
utterly futile and ridiculous.
Nor ha this plutocracy been seriously restrained
or even threatened by any republican or democratic
executive. It has continued to grow in power and
insolence alike under the administrations of Cleve-
land, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft.
In addition to this legislative juggling and this
executive connivance the courts of America have
sanctioned and strengthened the hold of this plu-
tocracy as the Dred Scott and other decisions
strengthened the slave power before the civil war.
We declare, therefore, that the longer sufferance
of these conditions is impossible and we purpose
to end them all. We declare them to be the
product of the present system, in which industry
is carried on for private greed, instead of for the
welfare of society. We declare, furthermore, that
for these evils there will be aod can be no remedy
and no substantial relief except through socialism,
under which industry will be carried on for the
common good and every worker receive the full
social value of the wealth he creates.
Society is divided into warring groups and classes,
based upon material interests. Fundamentally this
struggle is a conflict between the two main classes,
one of which, the capitalist class, owns the means
of production, and the other, the working class,
must use these means of production on terms dic-
tated by the owners.
The capitalist class, though few in number, ab-
solutely controls the government legislative, ex-
ecutive and judicial. This class owns the machin-
ery of gathering and disseminating news through
its organized press. It subsidizes seats of learning
the colleges and schools and even religious and
moral agencies. It has also the added prestige
which established customs give to any order of
society, right or wrong.
The working class, which includes all those who
are forced to work for a living, whether by hand
or brain, in shop, mine or on the soil, vastly out-
numbers the capitalist class. Lacking effective
organization and class solidarity, this class is un-
able to enforce its will. Given such class solidarity
and effective organization, the workers will have
the power to make all laws and control all indus-
try in their own interest.
All political parties are the expression of eco-
nomic and class interests. All other parties than
136
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
the socialist party represent one or another group
of the ruling capitalist class. Their political con-
flicts reflect merely superficial rivalries between
competing capitalist groups. However they result,
these conflicts have no issue of real value to the
workers. Whether the democrats or republicans
win politically, it is the capitalist class that is
victorious economically.
The socialist party is the political expression of
the economic interests of the workers. Its defeats
have been their defeats and its victories their vic-
tories. It is a party founded on the science and
laws of social development. It proposes that, since
all social necessities to-day are socially produced,
the means of their production and distribution shall
be socially owned and democratically controlled.
In the face of the economic and political aggres-
sions of the capitalist class the only reliance left
the workers is that of their economic organizations
and their political power. By the intelligent and
class conscious use of these they may resist suc-
cessfully the capitalist class, break the fetters of
wage slavery and fit themselves for the future so-
ciety, which is to displace the capitalist system.
The socialist party appreciates the full significance
of class organization and urges the wage earners,
the working farmers and all other useful workers
everywhere to organize for economic and political
action, and we pledge ourselves to support the toil-
ers of the field*- as well as those in the shops, fac-
tories and mines of the nation in their struggles
for economic justice.
In the defeat or victory of the working class party
in this new struggle for freedom lies the defeat or
triumph of the common people of all economic
groups, as well as the failure or the triumph of
popular government. Thus the socialist party is
the party of the present day revolution, which
marks the transition from economic individualism
to socialism, from wage slavery to free co-opera-
tion, from capitalist oligarchy to industrial de-
mocracy.
As measures calculated to strengthen the working
class in its fight for the realization of its ultimate
aim, the co-operative commonwealth, and to In-
crease its power of resistance against capitalist
oppression, we advocate and pledge ourselves and
our elected officers to the following programme:
1. The collective ownership and democratic man-
agement of railroads, wire and wireless telegraphs
and telephones, express services, steamboat lines
and all other social means of transportation and
communication and of all large scale industries.
2. The immediate acquirement by the municipali-
ties, the states or the federal government of all
grain elevators, stockyards, storage warehouses and
other distributing agencies, in order to reduce the
present extortionate cost of living.
3. The extension of the public domain to include
mines, quarries, oil wells, forests and water power.
4. The further conservation and development of
natural resources for the use and benefit of all
the people:
(a) By scientific forestation and timber protec-
tion.
(b) By the reclamation of arid and swamp tracts.
(c) By the storage of flood waters and the utili-
zation of water power.
(d) By the stoppage of the present extravagant
waste of the soil and of the products of mines and
oil wells.
(e) By the development of highway and water-
way systems.
5. The collective ownership of land wherever
practicable, and in cases where such ownership is
impracticable the appropriation by taxation of the
annual rental value of all land held for speculation.
6. The collective ownership and democratic man-
agement of the banking and currency system.
The immediate government relief of the unem-
ployed by the extension of all useful public works.
All persons employed on such works to be engaged
directly by the government under a workday of not
more than eight hours and at not less than the
prevailing union wages. The government also to
establish employment bureaus; to lend money to
states and municipalities without interest for the
purpose of carrying on public works, and to take
such other measures within its power as will lessen
the widespread misery of the workers caused bv
the misrule of the capitalist class.
1-he conservation of human resources, particularly
of the lives and well-being of the workers and
their families:
1. By shortening the workday in keeping with
the increased productiveness of machinery.
2. By securing to every worker a rest period of
not less than a day and a half in each week
3. By securing a more effective inspection of
workshops, factories and mines.
4. By forbidding the employment of children un-
der 16 years of age.
5. By the co-operative organization of industries
in federal penitentiaries and workshops for the
benefit of convicts and their dependents.
6. By forbidding the interstate transportation of
the products of child labor, of convict labor and of
all uninspected factories and mines.
7. By abolishing the profit system in government
work and substituting either the direct hire of
labor or the awarding of contracts to co-operative
groups of workers.
8. By establishing minimum wage scales.
9. By abolishing official charity and substituting
a noncontributory system of old age pensions, a
general system of insurance by the state of all its
members against unemployment and invalidism and
a system of compulsory insurance by employers of
their workers, without cost to the latter, against
industrial diseases, accidents and death.
POLITICAL DEMANDS.
1. The absolute freedom of press, speech and
assemblage.
2. The adoption of a graduated income tax, the
increase of the rates of the present corporation tax
and the extension of inheritance taxes, graduated
In proportion to the value of the estate and to
nearness of kin the proceeds of these taxes to be
employed in the socialization of industry.
3. The abolition of the monopoly ownership of
patents and the substitution of collective owner-
ship, with direct awards to inventors by premiums
or royalties.
4. Unrestricted and equal suffrage for men and
women.
5. The adoption of the initiative, referendum and
recall and of proportional representation, nation-
ally as well as locally.
6. The abolition of the senate and of the veto
power of the president.

eral education and particularly for vocational edu-
cation in useful pursuits. The bureau of education
to be made a department.
13. The enactment of further measures for the
conservation of health. The creation of an inde-
pendent bureau of health with such restrictions as
will secure full liberty for all schools of practice.
14. The separation of the present bureau of labor
from the department of commerce and labor and
its elevation to the rank of a department.
15. Abolition of all federal district courts and
the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. State

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
137
18. The calling of a convention for the revision
of the constitution of the United States.
Such measures of relief as we may be able to
force from capitalism are but a preparation of the
workers to seize the whole powers of government
in order that they may thereby lay hold of the
whole system of socialized industry and thus come
to their rightful inheritance.
REPUBLICAN.
Adopted at Chicago June 22.
The republican party, assembled by its repre-
sentatives in national convention, declares its un-
changing faith in government of the people, by the
l>eople, for the people. We renew our allegiance
to the principles of the republican party and our
devotion to the cause of republican institutions es-
tablished by the fathers.
It is appropriate that we should now recall with
a sense of veneration and gratitude the name of
our first great leader, who was nominated in this
city, and whose lofty principles and superb devo-
tion to his country are an inspiration to the party
he honored Abraham Lincoln. In the present state
of public affairs we should be inspired by his broad
statesmanship and by his tolerant spirit toward
men.
The republican party looks back upon its record
with pride and satisfaction, and forward to its
new responsibilities with hope and confidence. Its
achievements in government constitute the most
luminous pages in our history. Our greatest na-
tional advance has been made during the years of
its ascendency in public affairs. It has been genu-
inely and always a party of progress; it has never
bten either stationary or reactionary. It has gone
from the fulfillment of one great pledge to the ful-
fillment of another in response to the public need
and to the popular will.
We believe in our self-controlled representative
democracy, which is a government of laws, not of
men, and in which order is the prerequisite of
progress.
The principles of constitutional government, which
make provision for orderly and effective expression
of the popular will, for the protection of civil lib-
erty and the rights of men and for the interpreta-
tion of the law by an untrammeled and independent
judiciary, have proved themselves capable of sus-
taining the structure of a government which, after
more than a century of development, embraces
100,000,000 of people, scattered over a wide and
diverse territory, but bound by common purposes,
common ideals and common affection to the consti-
tution of the United States.
GROWTH OF UNITED STATES.
Under the constitution and the principles as-
serted and vitalized by it the United States has
grown to be one of the great civilized and civil-
izing powers of the earth. It offers a home and an
opportunity to the ambitious and the industrious
from other lands. Resting upon the broad basis of
a people's confidence and a people's support, and
managed by the people themselves, the government
of the United States will meet the problems of the
future as satisfactorily as it has solved those of
the past.
The republican party is now, as always, a party
of advanced and constructive statesmanship. It is
prepared to go forward with the solution of those
new questions which social, economic and political
development have brought into the forefront of
the nation's interest. It will strive not only in
the nation but in the several states to enact the
necessary legislation to safeguard the public health :
to limit effectively the labor of women and chil-
dren; to protect wage earners engaged in danger-
ous occupations; to enact comprehensive and gen-
erous workmen's compensation laws in place of the
present wasteful and unjust system of employers'
liability, and in all possible ways to satisfy the
just demand of the people for the study and solu-
tion of the complex and constantly changing prob-
lems of social welfare.
RIGHTS OF THE INDIVIDrAL.
In dealing with these questions it is important
that the rights of every individual to the freest
possible development of his own powers and re-
sources and to the control of his own justly ac-
quired property, so far as those are compatible
with the rights of others, shall not be interfered
with or destroyed.
The social and political structure of the United
States rests upon the civil liberty of the individual,
and for the protection of that liberty the people
have wisely, in the national and state constitu-
tions, put definite limitations upon themselves and
upon their governmental officers and agencies. To
enforce these limitations, to secure the orderly and
coherent exercise of governmental powers and to
protect the rights of even the humblest and least
favored individual are the function of independent
cpurts of justice.
The republican party reaffirms its intention to
uphold at all times the authority and integrity of
the courts, both state and federal, and it will ever
insist that their powers to enforce their process
and to protect life, liberty and property shall be
preserved inviolate. An orderly method is provided
under our system of government by which the peo-
ple may, when they choose, alter or amend the con-
stitutional provisions which underlie that govern-
ment.
LAWS AGAINST LONG DELAYS.
Until these constitutional provisions are so al-
tered or amended, in orderly fashion, it is the duty
of the courts to see to it that when challenged
they are enforced.
That courts, both federal and state, may bear
the heavy burden laid upon them to the complete
satisfaction of public opinion, we favor legislation
to prevent long delays, and the tedious and costly
appeals which have so often amounted to a denial
of justice in civil cases and to a failure to protect
the public at large in criminal cases.
Since the responsibility of the judiciary Is so
great, the standards of judicial action must be al-
ways and everywhere above suspicion and reproach.
While we regard the recall of judges as unneces-
sary and unwise, we favor such action as may be
necessary to simplify the process by which any
judge who is found to be derelict in his duty may
be removed from office.
Together with peaceful and orderly development
at home, the republican party earnestly favors all
measures for the establishment and protection of
the peace of the world and for the development of
closer relations between the various nations of the
earth. It believes most earnestly in the peaceful
settlement of international disputes and in the
reference of all justiciable controversies between
nations to an international court of justice.
MONOPOLY AND PRIVILEGE.
The republican party is opposed to special privi-
lege and to monopoly. It placed upon the statute
book the interstate commerce act of 1887 and the
important amendments thereto, and the antitrust
act of 1890, and it has consistently and successfully
enforced the provisions of these laws. It will take
no backward step to permit the re-establishment
in any degree of conditions which were intolerable.
Experience makes it plain that the business of
the country may be carried on without fear or
without disturbance, and at the same time with-
out resort to practices which are abhorrent to the
common sense of justice.
Tie republican party favors the enactment of
legislation supplementary to the existing antitrust
act which will define as criminal offenses those
specific acts that uniformly mark attempts to re-
strain and to monopolize trade, to the end that
those who honestly intend to obey the law may
have a guide for their action, and that those who
aim to violate the law may the more surely be
punished.
The same certainty should be given in the law
prohibiting combinations and monopolies that char-
acterizes other provisions of commercial law, in
order that no part of the field of business oppor-
tunity may be restricted by monopoly or combina-
tion, that business success honorably achieved may
not be converted into crime and that the right of
every man to acquire commodities, and particularly
the necessaries of life, in an open market uninflu-
enced by the manipulation of trust or combination
may be preserved.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION.
In the enforcement and administration of federa
laws governing interstate commerce and enterprises
impressed with a public use engaged therein, there
is much that may be committed to a federal trade
commission, thus: placing in the hands of an ad
ministrative board many of the functions now nec-
essarily exercised by the courts. This will pro-
mote promptness in the administration of the law
and avoid delays and technicalities incident to
court procedure.
THE TARIFF.
We reaffirm our belief in a protective tariff. The
republican tariff policy has been of the greatest
benefit to the country, developing our resources,
diversifying our industries and protecting our work
men against competition with cheaper labor abroad,
thus establishing for our wage earners the Amer-
ican standard of living.
The protective tariff is so woven into the fabric
of our industrial and agricultural life that to sub-
stitute for it a tariff for revenue only would
stroy many industries and throw millions of our
people out of employment. The products of the
farm and of the mine should receive the same
measure of protection as other products of Amer-
ican labor.
We hold that the import duties should be high
enough while yielding a sufficient revenue to pro-
tect adequately American industries and wages.
Some of the existing import duties are too high
and should be reduced. Readjustment should be
made from time to time to conform to changed
conditions and to reduce excessive rates, but with-
out injury to any American industry.
To accomplish this correct information is indis-
pensable. This information can best be obtained
by an expert commission, as the large volume of
useful facts contained in the recent reports of the
tariff board has demonstrated.
CHANGING CONDITIONS REQUIRE STUDY.
The pronounced feature of modern industrial life
is its enormous diversification. To apply tariff rates
justly to those changing conditions requires closer
study and more scientific methods than ever be-
fore. The republican party has shown by its cre-
ation of a tariff board its recognition of this situ-
ation and its determination to be equal to it.
We condemn the democratic party for its failure
either to provide funds for the continuance of this
board or to make such other provision for securing
the information requisite for intelligent tariff legis-
lation. We protest against the democratic method
of legislating on these vitally important subjects
without careful investigation.
We condemn the democratic tariff bills passed by
the house of representatives of the 62d congress
as sectional, as injurious to the public credit and
as destructive of business enterprise.
COST OF LIVING.
The steadily increasing cost of living has become
a matter not only of national but of worldwide
concern. The fact that it is not due to the pro-
tective tariff system is evidenced by the existence
of similar conditions in countries which have a tariff
policy different from our own, as well as by the
fact that the cost of living has increased while
rates of duty have remained stationary or been re-
duced.
The republican party will support a prompt scien-
tific inquiry into the causes which are operative,
both in the United States and elsewhere, to in-
crease the cost of living. When the exact facts
are known it will take the necessary steps to re-
move any abuses that may be found to exist, in
order that the cost of the food, clothing and shel-
ter of the people may in no way be unduly or
artificially increased.
BANKING AND CURRENCY.
The republican party has always stood for a
sound currency and for safe banking methods. It
is responsible for the resumption of specie pay-
ments and for the establishment of the gold stand-
ard. It is committed to the progressive develop-
ment of our banking and currency system.
Our banking arrangements to-day need further
revision to meet the requirements of current condi-
tions. We need measures which will prevent the
recurrence of money panics and financial disturb-
ances and which will promote the prosperity of
business and the welfare of labor by producing
constant employment.
We need better currency facilities for the move-
ment of crops in the west and south. We need
banking arrangements under American auspices for
the encouragement and better conduct of our for-
eign trade. In attaining these ends the independ-
ence of individual banks, whether organized under
national or state charters, must be carefully pro-
tected, and our banking and currency system must
be safeguarded from any possibility of "domination
by sectional, financial or political interests.
MONEY FOR THE FARMERS.
It is of great importance to the social and eco-
nomic welfare of this country that its farmers have
facilities for borrowing easily and cheaply the
money they need to increase the productivity of
their land.
It is as important that financial machinery be
provided to supply the demand of farmers for credit
as it is that the banking and currency systems be
reformed in the interest of general business.
Therefore we recommend and urge an authorita-
tive investigation of agricultural credit societies
and corporations in other countries, and the pas-
sage of state and federal laws for the establish-
ment and capable supervision of organizations hav-
ing for their purpose the loaning of funds to farm-
ers.
THE CIVIL SERVICE.
We reaffirm our adherence to the principle of
appointment to public office based on proved fit-
ness and tenure during good behavior and efficiency.
The republican party stands committed to the
maintenance, extension and enforcement of the
civil service law, and it favors the passage of leg-
islation empowering the president to extend the
competitive service so far as practicable. We favor
legislation to make possible the equitable retire-
ment of disabled and superannuated m< mbers of
the civil service, in order that a higher standard
of efficiency may be maintained.
We favor the amendment of the federal employes'
liability law so as to extend its provisions to all
government employes, as well as to provide a more
liberal scale of compensation for injury and death.
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
We favor such additional legislation as may be
necessary more effectually to prohibit corporations
from contributing funds, directly or indirectly, to
campaigns for the nomination or election of the
president, the vice-president, senators and repre-
sentatives in congress.
We heartily approve the recent act of congress
requiring the fullest publicity in regard to all cam-
paign contributions, whether made in connection
with primaries, conventions or elections.
CONSERVATION POLICY.
We rejoice in the success of the distinctive re-
publican policy of the conservation of our national
resources for their use by the people without waste
and without monopoly. We pledge ourselves to a
continuance of such a policy.
We favor such fair and reasonable rules and reg-
ulations as will not discourage or interfere with
actual bonafide homeseekers, prospectors and -min-
ers in the acquisition of public lands under existing
"aws.
PARCELS POST.
In the interest of the general public, and partic-
ularly of the agricultural or rural communities, we
'avor legislation looking to the establishment, un-
der proper regulations, of a parcels post, the pos-
tal rates to be graduated under a zone similar in
proportion to the length of carriage.
PROTECTION OF AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
We approve the action taken by the president
nd the congress to secure with Russia, as with
ther countries, a treaty that will recognize the
absolute right of expatriation and that will pre-
vent all discrimination of whatever kind between
American citizens, whether native born or alien
and regardless of race, religion or previous politi-
:al allegiance. The right of asylum is a precious
possession of the people of the United States and
t is to be neither surrendered nor restricted.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK" FOR 1913.
'133
THE NAVY.
We believe in the maintenance of an adequate
navy for the national defense^ and we condemn
the action of the democratic house of representa-
tives in refusing to authorize the construction of
additional ships.
MERCHANT MARINE.
We believe that one of the country's most ur-
gent needs is a revived merchant marine. There
should be American ships, and plenty of them, to
make use of the great American interoceanic canal
now nearing completion.
FLOOD PREVENTION.
The Mississippi river is the nation's drainage
ditch. Its flood waters gathered from thirty-one
states and the Dominion of Canada constitute an
overpowering force which breaks the levees and
pours its torrents over many million acres of the
richest land in the union, stopping mails, impeding
commerce and causing great loss of life and prop-
erty.
These floods are national in scope and the dis-
asters they produce seriously affect the general
velfare. The state unaided cannot cope with this
giant problem hence we -believe the federal gov-
ernment should assume a fair proportion of the
burden of its control so as to prevent the disas-
ters from recurring floods.
RECLAMATION.
We favor the continuance of the policy of the
government with regard to the reclamation of arid
lands, and for the encouragement of the speedy
settlement and improvement of such lands we
favor an amendment to the law that will reason-
ably extend the time within which the cost of any
reclamation project may be repaid by the land
owners under it.
RIVERS AND HARBORS.
We favor a liberal and systematic policy for the
improvement of our rivers and harbors. Such im-
provements should be made upon expert informa-
tion and after a careful comparison of cost aud
prospective benefits.
ALASKA.
We favor a liberal policy toward Alaska to pro-
mote the development of the great resources of
that district, with such safeguards as will prevent
waste and monopoly.
We favor the opening of the coal lands to devel-
opment through a law leasing the lands on such
terms as will invite development and provide fuel
for the navy and the commerce of the Pacific ocean,
while retaining title in the United States to pre-
vent monopoly.
PHILIPPINE POLICY.
The Philippine policy of the republican party
has been and is inspired by the belief that our
duty toward the Filipino people is a national obli-
gation which should remain entirely free from par-
tisan politics.
"IMMIGRATION.
We pledge the republican party to the enactment
of appropriate laws to give relief from the con-
stantly growing evil of induced or undesirable im-
migration which is inimical to the progress and
welfare of the people of the United States.
SAFETY AT SEA.
We favor the speedy enactment of laws to pro-
vide that seamen shall not be compelled to endure
involuntary servitude, and that life and property
at sea shall be safeguarded by the ample equip-
ment of vessels with life saving appliances and
with full complements of skilled, able bodied sea-
men to operate them.
REPUBLICAN ACCOMPLISHMENT.
The approaching completion of the Panama canal,
the establishment of a bureau of mines, the in-
stitution of postal savings banks, the increased
provision made in 1912 for the aged and infirm
soldiers and sailors of the republic and for their
widows, and the vigorous administration of the
laws relating to pure food and drugs all mark the
successful progress of republican administration and
are additional evidence of its effectiveness.
ECONOMY AND EFFICIENCY.
We commend the earnest effort of the republican
administration to secure greater economy and in-
creased efficiency in the conduct of government
business. Extravagant appropriations and the crea-
tion of unnecessary offices are an injustice to the
taxpayer and a bad example to the citizen.
CIVIC DUTY.
We call upon the people to quicken their interest
in public affairs, to condemn and punish lynchings
and other forms of lawlessness and to strength-
en in all possible ways a respect for law and the
observance of it. Indifferent citizenship is an evil
from which the law affords no adequate protection
and for which legislation can provide no remedy.
ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.
We congratulate the people of Arizona and New
Mexico upon the admission of those states, thus
merging in the union in final and enduring form
the last remaining portion of our continental ter-
ritory.
REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION.
We challenge successful criticism of the sixteen
years of republican administration under Presidents
McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft. We heartily re-
affirm the indorsement of President McKinley con-
tained in the platforms of 1900 and 1904, and that of
President Roosevelt contained in the platforms of
1904 and 1908.
We invite the intelligent judgment of the Amer-
ican people upon the administration of William H.
Taft. The country has prospered and been at peace
under his presidency. During the years in which
he had the co-operation of a republican congress
an unexampled amount of constructive legislation
was framed and passed in the interest of the peo-
ple and in obedience to their wish. That legisla-
tion is a record on which any administration might
appeal with confidence to the favorable judgment of
history.
We appeal to the American electorate upon the
record of the republican party and upon this dec-
laration of its principles and purposes. We are
confident that under the leadership of the candi-
dates here to be nominated our appeal will not be
in vain; that the republican party will meet every
just expectation of the people whose servant it is;
that under its administration and its laws our na-
tion will continue to advance; that peace and pros-
perity will abide with the people and that new-
glory will be added to the great republic.
DEMOCRATIC.
Adopted at Baltmore July 2.
We, the representatives of the democratic party
of the United States, in national convention as-
sembled, reaffirm our devotion to the principles of
democratic government formulated by Thomas Jef-
ferson and enforced by a long and illustrious line
of democratic presidents.
TARIFF REFORM.
We declare it to be a fundamental principle of
the democratic party that the federal government,
under the constitution, has no right or power to
impose or collect tariff duties, except for the pur-
pose of revenue, and we demand that the collec-
tion of such taxes shall be limited to the neces-
sities of government, honestly and economically ad-
ministered.
Th? high republican tariff is the principal cause
of the unequal distribution of wealth; it is a sys-
tem of taxation which makes the rich richer and
the poor poorer; under its operations the American
farmer and laboring man are the chief sufferers;
it raises the cost of the necessaries of life to them,
but does not protect their product or wages.
The farmer sells largely in free markets and buys
almost entirely in the protected markets.
In the most highly protected industries, such as
cotton and wool, steel and iron, the wages of the
laborers are the lowest paid in any of our indus-
tries.
We denounce the republican pretense on that sub-
ject and assert that American wages are established
by competitive conditions and not by the tariff.
We favor the immediate downward revision of the
existing high and, in many cases, prohibitive tariff
duties, insisting that material reductions be speed-
140
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
ily made upon the necessaries of life. Articles en-
tering into competition with trust controlled prod-
ucts and articles of American manufacture which
are sold abroad more cheaply than at home should
be put upon the free list.
We recognize that our system of tariff taxation
is intimately connected with the business of the
country and we favor the ultimate attainment of
the principles we advocate by legislation that will
not injure or destroy legitimate industry.
We denounce the action of President Taft in
vetoing the bills to reduce the tariff in the cotton,
woolen, metals and chemical schedules and the
farmers' free list bill, all of which were designed
to give immediate relief to the masses from the
exactions of the trusts.
The republican party, while promising tariff re-
vision, has shown by its tariff legislation that such
revision is not to be in the people's interest and,
having been faithless to its pledges of 1908, it
should no longer enjoy the confidence of the nation.
We appeal to the American people to support us in
our demand for a tariff for revenue only.
HIGH COST OF LIVING.
The high cost of living is a serious problem in
every American home. The republican party, in
its platform, attempts to escape from responsibility
for present conditions by denying that they are due
to a protective tariff. We take issue with them
on this subject and charge that excessive prices
result in a large measure from the high tariff laws
enacted and maintained by the republican party
and from trusts and commercial conspiracies fos-
tered and encouraged by such laws, and we assert
that no substantial relief can be secured for the
people until import duties on the necessaries of
life are materially reduced and these criminal con-
spiracies broken up.
ANTITRUST LAW.
A private monopoly is indefensible and intoler-
able. We therefore favor the vigorous enforcement
of the criminal as well as the civil law against
tiusts and trust officials, and demand the enactment
of such additional legislation as may be necessary
to make it impossible for a private monopoly to
exist in the United States.
We favor the declaration by law of the condi-
tions upon which corporations shall be permitted
to engage in interstate trade, including, among
others, the prevention of holding companies, of in-
terlocking directors, of stock watering, of discrimi-
nation in price and the control by any one corpo-
ration of so large a proportion of any industry as
to make it a menace to competitive conditions.
We condemn the action of the republican admin-
istration in compromising witli the Standard Oil
company and the tobacco trust and its failure to
invoke the criminal provisions of the antitrust law
against the officers of those corporations after the
court had declared that from the undisputed facts
in the record they had violated the criminal pro-
visions of the law.
We regret that the Sherman antitrust law has
received a judicial construction depriving it of
much of its efficacy and we favor the enactment of
legislation which will restore to the statute the
strength of which it has been deprived by such
interpretation.
EIGHTS OF STATES.
We believe in the preservation and maintenance
In their full strength and integrity of the three co-
ordinate branches of the federal government the
executive, the legislative and the judicial each
keeping within its own bounds and not encroaching
upon the just powers of either of the others.
Believing that the most efficient results under
our system of government are to be attained by
the full exercise by the states of their reserved
sovereign powers, we denounce as usurpation the
efforts of our opponents to deprive the states of
any of the rights reserved to them, and to enlarge
and magnify by indirection the powers of the fed-
eral government.
We insist upon the full exercise of all the pow-
ers of the government, both state and national, to
protect the people from injustice at the hands of
those who seek to make the government a private
asset in business. There is no twilight zone be-
tween the nation and the state in which exploiting
interests can take refuge from both. It is as nec-
essary that the federal government stall exercise
the powers reserved to it, but we insist that fed
eral remedies for the regulation of interstate com-
merce and for the prevention of private monopoly
shall be added to and not substituted for state
remedies.
INCOME TAX, DIRECT ELECTIONS.
We congratulate the country upon the triumph
of two important reforms demanded in the last
national platform, namely: The amendment of the
federal constitution authorizing an income tax and
the amendment providing for the popular election
of senators, and we call upon the people of all the
states to rally to the support of the pending prop-
ositions and secure their ratification.
We note with gratification the unanimous senti-
ment in favor of publicity before the election of
campaign contributions a measure demanded in our
national platform of 1908 and at that time opposed
by the republican party and we commend the dem
ocratic house of representatives for extending the
doctrine of publicity to recommendations, verbal
and written, upon which presidential appointments
are made, to the ownership and control of news-
papers and to the expenditures made by and in be-
half of those who aspire to presidential nomina-
tions, and we point for additional justification for
this legislation to the enormous expenditures of
money in behalf of the president and his predeces-
sor in the recent presidential contest for the re-
publican nomination for president.
PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES.
The movement toward more popular government
should be promoted through legislation in each
state which will permit the expression of the pref-
erence of the electors for national candidates at
presidential primaries.
We direct that the national committee incorpo-
rate in the call for the next nominating convention
a requirement that all expressions of preference
for presidential candidates shall be given and the
selection of delegates and alternates made through
a primary election conducted by the party organi-
zation in each state where such expression and
election are not provided for by state law.
Committeemen who are hereafter to constitute
the membership of the democratic national com-
mittee and whose election is not provided for by
law shall be chosen in each state at such primary
elections and the service and authority of com-
mitteemen, however chosen, shall begin immedi-
ately upon the receipt of their credentials.
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
We pledge the democratic party to the enactment
of a law prohibiting any corporation from contrib-
uting to a campaign fund and any individual from
contributing any amount above a reasonable max-
imum.
TERM OF PRESIDENT.
We favor a single presidential term and to that
end urge the adoption of an amendment to the con-
stitution making the president of the United States
ineligible for re-election, and we pledge the candi-
date of this convention to this principle.
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS.
At this time, when the republican party, after a
generation of unlimited power in its control of the
federal government, is rent into factions, it is op-
portune to point to the record of accomplishments
of the democratic house of representatives in the
62d congress. We indorse its action and we chal-
lenge comparison of its record with that of any
congress which has been controlled by our oppo-
nents.
We call the attention of the patriotic citizens of
our country to its record of efficiency, economy and
constructive legislation :
It has, among other achievements, revised the
rules of the house of representatives so as to give
to the representatives of the American people free-
dom of speech and of action in advocating, pro-
posing and perfecting remedial legislation.
It has passed bills for the relief of the people
and the development of our country; it has en-
deavored to revise the tariff taxes downward in the
interest of the consuming masses and thus to re-
duce the high cost of living.
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
141
It has proposed an amendment to the federal con-
stitution providing for the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people.
It has secured the admission of Arizona and New
Mexico as two sovereign states.
It has required the publicity of campaign ex-
penses, both before and after election, and fixed a
limit upon the election expenses of United States
senators and representatives.
It has also passed a bill to prevent the abuse of
the writ of injunction.
It has passed a law establishing an eight hour
day for workmen on all national public work.
It has passed a resolution which forced the pres-
ident to take immediate steps to abrogate the Rus-
sian treaty. And it has passed the great supply
bills which lessen waste and extravagance and
which reduce the annual expenses of the govern-
ment by many millions of dollars.
We approve the measure reported by the demo-
cratic leaders in the house of representatives for
the creation of a council of national defense which
will determine a definite naval programme with a
view to increased efficiency and economy. The
party that proclaimed and has always enforced the
Monroe doctrine and was sponsor for the new navy
will continue faithfully to observe the constitu-
tional requirements to provide and maintain an
adequate and well proportioned navy sufficient to
defend American policies, protect our citizens and
uphold the honor and dignity of the nation.
REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE.
We denounce the profligate waste of the money
wrung from the people by oppressive taxation
through the lavish appropriations of recent re-
publican congresses, which have kept taxes high
and reduced the purchasing power of the people's
toil. We demand a return to that simplicity and
economy which befits a democratic government and
a reduction in the number of useless offices, the
salaries of which drain the substance of the people.
COMMON CARRIERS.
We favor the efficient supervision and rate regula-
tion of railroads, express companies, telegraph and
telephone lines engaged in interstate commerce.
To this end we recommend the valuation of rail-
roads, express companies and telegraph and tele-
phone lines by the interstate commerce commission,
such valuation to take into consideration the phys-
ical value of the property, the original cost, the
cost of production and any element of value that
will render the valuation fair and just.
We favor such legislation as will effectually pro-
hibit the railroads, express, telegraph and tele-
phone companies from engaging in business which
brings them into competition with their shippers;
also legislation preventing the overissue of stocks
and bonds by the interstate railroads, express com-
panies, telegraph and telephone lines, and legisla-
tion which will assure such reduction in transpor-
tation rates as conditions will permit, care being
taken to avoid reduction that would compel a re-
duction of wages, prevent adequate service or do
injustice to legitimate investments.
BANKING LEGISLATION.
We oppose the so called Aldrich monetary bill or
the establishment of a central bank, and we be-
lieve the people of this country will be largely
freed from panics and consequent unemployment
and business depression by such a systematic re-
vision of our banking laws as will render tempo-
rary relief in localities where such relief is needed,
with protection from control or domination by what
is known as the "money trust."
Banks exist for the accommodation of the public
and not for the control of business. All legisla-
tion on the subject of banking and currency should
have for its purpose the securing of these accom-
modations on terms of absolute security to the
public and of complete protection from the misuse
of the power that wealth gives to those who pos-
We condemn the present methods of depositing
government funds in a few favored banks, largely
situated in or controlled by Wall street, in return
for political favors, and we pledge our party to
provide by law for their deposit by competitive bid-
ding by the banking institutions of the country.
national and state, without discrimination as to
locality, upon approved securities and subject to
call by the government.
RURAL CREDITS.
Of equal importance with the question of cur-
rency reform is the question of rural credits or
agricultural finance. Therefore we recommend that
an investigation of agricultural credit societies in
foreign countries be made, so that it may be as-
certained whether a system of rural credits may be
devised suitable to conditions in the United States,
and we also favor legislation permitting national
banks to loan a reasonable proportion of their funds
on real estate security.
We recognize the value of vocational education
and urge federal appropriations for such training
and extension teaching in agriculture in co-opera-
tion with the several states.
WATERWAYS.
We renew the declaration in our last platform
relating to the conservation of our natural re-
sources and the development of our waterways. The
present devastation of the lower Mississippi valley
accentuates the movement for the regulation of
river flow by additional bank and levee protection
below, and the diversion, storage and control of
the flood waters above and their utilization for
beneficial purposes in the reclamation of arid and
swamp lands and the development of water power,
instead of permitting the floods to continue, as
heretofore, agents of destruction.
We hold that the control of the Mississippi river
is a national problem. The preservation of the
depth of its water for the purpose of navigation,
the building of levees to maintain the integrity of
its channel and the prevention of the overflow of
the land and its consequent destruction, resulting
in interruption of interstate commerce, the disor-
ganization of mail service and the enormous loss
of life and property impose an obligation which
alone can be discharged by the general government.
We favor the co-operation of the United States
and the respective states in plans for the compre-
hensive treatment of all waterways with a view of
co-ordinating plans for channel improvement with
plans for drainage of swamp and overflowed lands,
and to this end we favor the appropriation by the
federal government of sufficient funds to make sur-
veys of such lands, to develop plans for draining
such lands and to supervise the work of construc-
tion.
We favor the adoption of a liberal and compre-
hensive plan for the development and improvement
of our inland waterways with economy and effi-
ciency, so as to permit their navigation by vessels
of standard draft.
POST ROADS.
We favor national aid to state and local author-
ities in the construction and maintenance of post
roads.
RIGHTS OF LABOR.
We repeat our declarations of the platform of
1908 as follows:
"The courts of justice are the bulwark of our
liberties and we yield to none in our purpose to
maintain their dignity. Our party has given to
the bench a long line of distinguished justices,
who have added to the respect and confidence in
which this department must be jealously main-
tained. We resent the attempt of the republican
party to raise a false issue respecting the judici-
ary. It is an unjust reflection upon a great body
of our citizens to assume that they lack respect
for the courts.
"It is the function of the court to interpret the
laws which the people enact, and if the laws ap-
pear to work economic, social or political injustice
it is our duty to change them. The only basis upon
which the integrity of our courts can stand is that
of unswerving justice and protection of life, per-
sonal liberty and property. If judicial processes
may be abused, we should guard them against
abuse.
"Experience has proved the necessity of a modi-
fication of the present law relating to injunction
and we reiterate the pledges of our platform of
1896 and 1904 in favor of a measure which passert
the United States senate in 1896. relating to con-
142
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
tempt in federal courts and providing for trial by
jury in cases of indirect contempt.
"Questions of judicial practice have arisen, es-
pecially in connection with industrial disputes.
We believe that the parties to all judicial proceed-
ings should be treated with rigid impartiality and
that injunctions should not be issued in any case
in which an injunction would not issue if no in-
dustrial dispute were involved.
"The expanding organization of industry makes
it essential that there should be no abridgment
of the right of the wage earners and producers to
organize for the protection of wages and the im-
provement of labor conditions, to the end that such
labor organizations and their members should not
be regarded as illegal combinations in restraint of
trade.
"We pledge the democratic party to the enact-
ment of a law creating a department of labor, rep-
resented separately in the president's cabinet, in
which department shall be included the subject of
mines and mining."
We pledge the democratic party, so far as the
federal jurisdiction extends, to an employes' com-
pensation law providing adequate indemnity for in-
jury to body or loss of life.
AGRICULTURE.
We believe in encouraging the development of a
modern system of agriculture and a systematic
effort to improve the conditions of trade in farm
products so as to benefit both the consumers and
producers. And as an efficient means to this end
we favor the enactment by congress of legislation
that will suppress the pernicious practice of gam-
bling in agricultural products by organized ex-
changes or others.
CONSERVATION.
We believe in the conservation and the develop-
ment, for the use of all the people, of the natural
resources of the country. Our forests, our sources
of water supply, our arable and our mineral lands,
our navigable streams and all other material re-
sources with which our country has been so lav-
ishly endowed, constitute the foundation of our
national wealth. Such additional legislation as may
be necessary to prevent their being wasted or ab-
sorbed by special or privileged interests should
be enacted and the policy of their conservation
should be rigidly adhered to.
The public domain should be administered and
disposed of with due regard to the general welfare.
Reservations should be limited to the purposes
which they purport to serve and not extended to
include land wholly unsuited therefor. The un-
necessary withdrawal from sale and settlement of
enormous tracts of public land, upon which tree
growth never existed and cannot be promoted,
tends only to retard development, create discontent
and bring reproach upon the policy of conservation.
The public land laws should be administered in a
spirit of the broadest liberality toward the settler
exhibiting a bona fide purpose to comply therewith,
to the end that the invitation of this government
to the landless should be as attractive as possible,
and the plain provisions of the forest reserve act
permitting homestead entries to be made within the
national forests should not be nullified by adminis-
trative regulations which amount to a withdrawal
of great areas of the same from settlement.
Immedate action should be taken by congress to
make available the vast and valuable coal deposits
of Alaska under conditions that will be a perfect
guaranty against their falling into the hands of
monopolizing corporations, associations or interests.
MERCHANT MARINE.
We believe in fostering by constitutional regula-
tion of commerce the growth of a merchant marine
which shall develop and strengthen the commercial
ties which bind us to our sister republics of the
south, but without imposing additional burdens upon
the people and without bounties or subsidies from
the public treasury. We urge upon congress the
speedy enactment of laws for the greater security
of life and property at sea and we favor the repeal
of all laws and the abrogation of so much of our
treaties with other nations as provide for the arrest
and imprisonment of seamen charged with desertion
or with violation of their contract of service. Such
laws and treaties are un-American and violate the
spirit if not the letter of the constitution of the
United States.
We favor the exemption from tolls of American
ships engaged in coastwise trade passing through
the Panama canal.
We also favor legislation forbidding the use of
the Panama canal by ships owned or controlled by
railroad carriers engaged in transportation com-
petitive with the canal.
PURE FOODS AND PUBLIC HEALTH.
We reaffirm our previous declarations advocating
the union and strengthening of the various govern-
mental agencies relating to pure foods, quarantine,
vital statistics and human health. Thus united
and administered without partiality to, or discrim-
ination against, any school of medicine or system
of healing, they would constitute a single health
service, not subordinated to any commercial or
financial interests, but devoted exclusively to the
conservation of human life and efficiency. More-
over, this health service should co-operate with the
health agencies of our various states and cities
without interference with their prerogatives or with
the freedom of individuals to employ such medical
or hygienic aid as they may see fit.
CITIL SERVICE LAW.
The law pertaining to the civil service should be
honestly and rigidly enforced, to the end that merit
and ability shall be the standard of appointment
and promotion rather than service rendered to a
political party; and we favor a reorganization of
the civil service with adequate compensation com-
mensurate with the class of work performed for all
officers and employes; we also favor the extensioa
to all classes of civil service employes of the ben-
efits of the provisions of the employers' liability
law. We also recognize the right of direct petition
to congress by employes for the redress of griev-
ances.
LAW REFORM.
We recognize the urgent need of reform in the
administration of civil and criminal law in the
United States and we recommend the enactment of
such legislation and the promotion of such meas-
ures as will rid the present legal system of the de-
lays, expense and uncertainties incident to the sys-
tem &a now administered.
THE PHILIPPINES.
We reaffirm the position thrice announced by the
democracy in national convention assembled against
a policy of imperialism and colonial exploitation in
the Philippines or elsewhere. We condemn the ex-
periment in imperialism as an inexcusable blunder
which has involved us in enormous expense, brought
us weakness instead of strength and laid our na-
tion open to the charge of abandonment of the
fundamental doctrine of self-government. We favor
an immediate declaration of the nation's purpose
to recognize the independence of the Philippine
islands as soon as a stable government can be es-
tablished, such independence to be guaranteed by
us until the neutralization of the islands can be
secured by treaty with other powers. In recogniz-
ing the independence of the Philippines our gov-
ernment should retain such land as may be neces-
sary for coaling stations and naval bases.
ARIZO'NA AND NEW MEXICO.
We welcome Arizona and New Mexico to the sis-
terhood of states and heartily congratulate them
upon their auspicious beginning of great and glori-
ous careers.
ALASKA.
We demand for the people of Alaska the full
and privi"
rial form of government, and we believe that the
enjoyment of the rights
rileges of a territo-
officials appointed to administer the government of
all our territories and the District of Columbia
should be qualified by previous bona fide residence.
THE RUSSIAN TREATY.
We commend the patriotism of the democratic
members of the senate and house of representatives
which compelled the termination of the Russian
treaty of 1832, and we pledge ourselves anew to
preserve the sacred rights of American citizenship
at home and abroad. No treaty should receive the
sanction of our government which does not recog-
nize the equality of all our citizens, irrespective
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
143
of race or creed, and which does not expressly
guarantee the fundamental right of expatriation.
The constitutional rights of American citizens
should protect them on our borders and go with
them throughout the world, and every American
citizen residing or having property in any foreign
country is entitled to and must be given the full
protection of the United States government, both
for himself and his property.
PARCELS POST.
We favor the establishment of a parcels post or
postal express and also the extension of the rural
delivery system as rapidly as practicable.
PANAMA CANAL EXPOSITION.
We hereby express our deep interest in the great
Panama Canal exposition to be held in San Fran-
cisco in 1915 and favor such encouragement as can
be properly given.
PROTECTION OF NATIONAL UNIFORM.
We commend to the several states the adoption
of a law making it an offense for the proprietors
of places of public amusement and entertainment
to discriminate against the uniform of the United
States, similar to the law passed by congress ap-
plicable to the District of. Columbia and the terri-
tories in 1911.
PENSIONS.
We renew the declaration of our last platform
relating to a generous pension policy.
RULE OF THE PEOPLE.
We call attention to the fact that the democratic
party's demand for a return to the rule of the peo-
ple expressed in the national platform four years
ago has now become the accepted doctrine of a
large majority of the electors. We again remind
the country that only by a larger exercise of the
reserved power of the people can they protect
themselves from the misuse of delegated power and
the usurpation of governmental instrumentality
by special interest. For this reason the national
convention insisted on the overthrow of Cannonism
and the inauguration of a system by which the
United States senators could be elected by direct
vote. The democratic party offers itself to the
country as an agency through which the complete
overthrow and extirpation of corruption, fraud and
machine rule in American politics can be effected.
CONCLUSION.
Our platform is one of principles which we be-
lieve to be essential to our national welfare. Our
pledges are made to be kept when in office as well
as relied upon during the campaign, and we invite
the co-operation of all citizens, regardless of party,
who believe in maintaining unimpaired the insti-
tutions and traditions of our country.
PROHIBITION.
Adopted at Atlantic City, N. J., July 11.
The prohibition party in national convention at
Atlantic City, N. J., July 10-12, 1912, recognizing
God as the source of all governmental authority,
makes the following declaration of principles and
policies:
1. The alcoholic drink traffic is wrong; is the
most serious drain on the wealth and resources of
the nation; is detrimental to the general welfare
and destructive of the inalienable rights of life, lib-
erty and the pursuit of happiness. All laws taxing
or licensing a traffic which produces crime, poverty
and political corruption and spreads disease and
death should be repealed. To destroy such a traffic
there must be elected to power a political party
which will administer the government from 'the
standpoint that the alcoholic drink traffic is a
crime and not a business, and we pledge that the
manufacture, importation, exportation, transporta-
tion and sale of alcoholic beverages shall be pro-
hibited.
We favor:
2. Suffrage for )jomen on the same terms as for
men.
3. A uniform marriage and divorce law. The ex-
termination of polygamy and the complete suppres-
sion of traffic in girls.
4. Absolute protection of the rights of labor,
without impairment of the rights of capital.
5. The settlement of all international disputes
by arbitration.
6. The abolition of child labor in mines, work-
shops and factories, with the rigid enforcement of
the laws now flagrantly violated.
7. The election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people.
8. A presidential term of six years and one
term only.
9. Court review of postoffice and other depart-
mental decisions and orders; the extension of the
postal savings bank system and of rural deliverv
and the establishment of an efficient parcels post.
10. The initiative, referendum and recall.
11. As the tariff is a commercial question it
should be fixed on the scientific basis of accurate
knowledge, secured by means of a permanent,
omnipartisan tariff commission with ample powers.
12. Equitable graduated income and inheritance
taxes.
13. Conservation of our forest and mineral re-
serves and the reclamation of waste lands. All
mineral and timber lands and water powers, now
owned by the government, should be held perpetu-
ally and leased for revenue purposes.
14. Clearly defined laws for the regulation and
control of corporations transacting an interstate
business.
15. Efficiency and economy in governmental ad-
ministration.
16. The protection of one day in seven as a day
of rest.
To these fundamental principles the national pro-
hibition party renews its long allegiance, and on
these issues invites the co-operation of all good
citizens, to the end that the true object of govern-
ment may be attained, namely, equal and exact
justice for all.
PROGRESSIVE.
Adopted at Chicago Aug. 7.
Tho conscience of the people, in a time of grave
national problems, has called into being a new
party, born of the nation's awakened sense of
justice.
We of the progressive party here dedicate our-
selves to the fulfillment of the duty laid upon us
by our fathers to maintain that government of the
people, by the people and for the people whose
foundations they laid.
We hold with Thomas Jefferson and Abraham
Lincoln that the people are the masters of their
constitution to fulnll its purposes and to safeguard
it from those who, by perversion of its intent,
would convert it into an instrument of injustice.
In accordance with the needs of each generation
the people must use their sovereign power to es-
tablish and maintain equal opportunity and indus<
trial justice, to secure which this government was
founded and without which no republic can endure.
This country belongs to the people who inhabit
it. Its resources, its business, its institutions and
its laws should be utilized, maintained or altered
in whatever manner will best promote the general
interest. It is time to set the public welfare in
the first place.
THE OLD PARTIES.
Political parties exist to secure responsible gov-
ernment and to execute the will of the people.
From these great tasks both of the old parties
have turned aside. Instead of instruments to pro-
mote the general welfare they have become the
tools of corrupt interests which use them impar-
tially to serve their selfish purposes.
Behind the ostensible government sits enthroned
an invisible government, owing no allegiance and
acknowledging no responsibility to the people. To
destroy this invisible government, to dissolve the
unholy alliance between corrupt business and cor-
rupt politics is the first task of the statesmanship
of the day.
The deliberate betrayal of its trust by the re-
publican party and the fatal incapacity of the dem-
ocratic party to deal with the new issues of tlio
new time have compelled the people to forge a
new instrument of government through which to
give effect to their will in laws and institutions.
Unhampered by tradition, uncorrupted by power,
undismayed by the magnitude of the task, the new
144
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
party offers itself as the instrument of the people
to sweep away old abuses, to build a new and
nobler commonwealth.
This declaration is our covenant with the people
and we hereby bind the party and its candidates
in state and nation to the pledges made herein.
THE RULE OP THE PEOPLE.
The national progressive party, committed to the
principle of government by a self-controlled democ-
racy expressing its will through representatives of
the people, pledges itself to secure such alterations
in the fundamental law of the several states and
of the United States as shall insure the represent-
ative character of the government.
In particular the party declares for direct pri-
maries for the nomination of state and national
officers, for nationwide preferential primaries for
candidates for the presidency, for the direct elec-
tion of United States senators by the people, and
we urge on the states the policy of the short bal-
lot, with responsibility to the people secured by
the initiative, referendum and recall.
AMENDMENT OF CONSTITUTION.
The progressive party, believing that a free peo-
ple should have the power from time to time to
amend their fundamental law so as to adapt it pro-
gressively to the changing needs of the people,
Pledges itself to provide a more easy and expedi-
Lous method of amending the federal constitution.
NATION AND STATE.
Up to the limit of the constitution and later by
amendment of the constitution if found necessary
we advocate bringing under effective national juris-
diction those problems which have expanded beyond
reach of the individual states.
It is as grotesque as it is intolerable that the
several states should by unequal laws in matters
of common concern become competing commercial
agencies, barter the lives of their children, the
health of their women and the safety and well-be-
ing of their working people for the profit of their
financial interests.
The extreme insistence on state's rights by the
democratic party in the Baltimore platform demon-
strates anew its inability to understand the world
into which it has survived or to administer the
affairs of a union of states which have in all essen-
tial respects become one people.
EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
The progressive party, believing that no people
can justly claim to be a true democracy which de-
nies political rights on account of sex, pledges it-
self to the task of securing equal suffrage to men
and women alike.
CORRUPT PRACTICES.
We pledge our party to legislation that will com-
pel strict limitation of all campaign contributions
and expenditures, and detailed publicity of both
before as well as after primaries and elections.
We pledge our party to legislation compelling the
registration of lobbyists; publicity of committee
hearings except on foreign affairs and recording of
all votes in committee, and forbidding federal ap-
pointees from holding office in state or national po-
litical organizations or taking part as officers or
delegates in political conventions for the nomina-
tion of elective state or national officials.
THE COURTS.
The progressive party demands such restriction
of the power of the courts as shall leave to the
people the ultimate authority to determine funda-
mental questions of social welfare and public pol-
icy. To secure this end it pledges itself to provide:
(1) That when an act, passed under the police
power of the state, is held unconstitutional under
the state constitution by the courts, the people, after
an ample interval for deliberation, shall have an
opportunity to vote on the question whether they
desire the act to become law notwithstanding such
decision.
(2) That- every decision of the highest appellate
court of a state declaring an act of the legislature
unconstitutional on the ground of its violation of
the federal constitution shall be subject to the same
review by the Supreme court of the United States
as is now accorded to decisions sustaining such
legislation.
. ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.
The progressive party, in order to secure to the
people a better administration of justice and by
that means to bring about a more general respect
for the law and the courts, pledges itself to work
unceasingly for the reform of legal procedure and
judicial methods.
We believe that the issuance of injunctions in
cases arising out of labor disputes should be pro-
hibited when such injunctions would not apply
when no labor disputes existed.
We also believe that a person cited for contempt
In labor disputes, except when such contempt was
committed in the actual presence of the court or
so near thereto as to interfere with the proper ad-
ministration of justice, should have a right to trial
by jury.
SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL JUSTICE.
The supreme duty of the nation is the conser-
vation of human resources through an enlarged
measure of social and industrial justice. We pledge
ourselves to work unceasingly in state and nation
for:
Effective legislation looking to the prevention of
industrial accidents, occupational diseases, over-
work, involuntaiy unemployment and other injuri-
ous effects incident to modern industry.
The fixing of minimum safety and health stand-
ards for the various occupations and the exercise
of the public authority of state and nation, includ-
the taxing power, to maintain such standards.
,
ing the federal control over interstate commerce
and the taxing
Tha prohibition of child labor.
Minimum wage standards for working women, to
provide a "living wage" in all industrial occupa-
tions.
The general prohibition of night work for women
and the establishment of an eight hour day for
women and young persons.
One day's rest in seven for all wage workers.
The eight hour day in continuous twenty four
hour industries.
The abolition of the convict contract labor sys-
tem, substituting a system of prison production for
governmental consumption only, and the application
of prisoners' earnings to the support of their de-
pendent families.
Publicity as to wages, hours and conditions of
labor; full reports upon industrial accidents and
diseases and the opening to public inspection of all
tallies, weights, measures and check systems on
labor products.
Standards of compensation for death by Indus-
trial accident and injury and trade disease which
will transfer the burden of lost earnings from the
families of working people to the industry and thus
to the community.
The protection of home life against the hazards of
sickness, irregular employment and old age through
the adoption of a system of social insurance adapted
to American use.
The development of the creative labor power of
America by lifting the last load of illiteracy from
American youth and establishing continuation
schools for industrial education under public con-
trol and encouraging agricultural education and
demonstration in rural schools.
The establishment of industrial research labora-
tories to put the methods and discoveries of science
at the service of American producers.
We favor the organization of the workers, men
and women, as a means of protecting their inter-
ests and of promoting their progress.
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
We pledge the party to establish a department of
labor with a seat in the cabinet and with wide
jurisdiction over matters affecting the conditions
of labor and living.
COUNTRY LIFE.
The development and prosperity of country life
are as important to the people who live in the
cities as they are to the farmers. Increase of pros-
perity on the farm will favorably affect the cost
of living and promote the interests of all who
dwell in the country and all who depend upon its
products for clothing, shelter and food.
We pledge our party to foster the development of
agricultural credit and co-operation, the teaching
of agriculture in schools, agricultural college ex
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOB 1913.
tension, the use of mechanical power on the farm
and to re-establish the country life commission,
thus directly promoting the welfare of the farmers
and bringing the benefits of better farming, better
business and better living within their reach.
HIGH COST OF LIVING.
The high cost of living is due partly to world-
wide and partly to local causes; partly to natural
and partly to artificial causes. The measures pro-
posed in this platform on various subjects, such as
the tariff, the trusts and conservation, will of
themselves remove the artificial causes. There will
remain other elements, such as the tendency to
leave the country for the city, waste, extravagance,
bad system of taxation, poor methods of raising
crops and bad business methods in marketing crops.
To remedy these conditions requires the fullest in-
formation and, based on this information, effective
government supervision and control to remove all
the artificial causes. We pledge ourselves to such
full and immediate inquiry and to immediate ac-
tion to deal with every need such inquiry discloses.
HEALTH.
We favor the union of all the existing agencies
of the federal government dealing with the public
health into a single national health service with-
out discrimination against -or for any one set of
therapeutic methods, school of medicine or school
of healing, with such additional powers as may be
necessary to enable it to perform efficiently such
duties in the protection of the public from prevent-
able diseases as may be properly undertaken by the
federal authorities, including the execution of ex-
isting laws regarding pure food, quarantine and
cognate subjects; the promotion of vital statistics
and the extension of the registration area of such
statistics, and co-operation with the health activi-
ties of the various states and cities of the nation.
TRUST REGULATIONS.
We believe that true popular government, justice
and prosperity go hand in hand, and, so believing,
it is our purpose to secure that large measure of
general prosperity which is the fruit of legitimate
and honest business, fostered by equal justice and
by sound progressive laws.
We demand that the test of true prosperity shall
be the benefits conferred thereby on all the citi-
zens, not confined to individuals or classes, and
that the test of corporate efficiency shall be the
ability better to serve the public; that those who
profit by the control of business affairs shall justify
that profit and that control by sharing with the
public the fruits thereof.
We therefore demand a strong national regula-
tion of interstate corporations. The corporation is
an essential part of modern business. The concen-
tration of modern business in some degree is both
inevitable and necessary for national and interna-
tional business efficiency. But the existing concen-
tration of vast wealth under a corporate system,
unguarded and uncontrolled by the nation, has
placed in the hands of a few men enormous, se-
cret, irresponsible power over the daily life of the
citizen a power insufferable in a free government
and certain of abuse.
This power has been abused in monopoly of na-
tional resources, in stock watering, in unfair com-
petition and unfair privileges and finally in sinister
influences on the public agencies of state and na-
tion. We do not fear commercial power, but we
insist that it shall be exercised openly, under pub-
licity, supervision and regulation of the most effi-
cient sort, which will preserve its good while erad-
icating and preventing its evils.
To that end we urge the establishment of a strong
federal administrative commission of high standing,
which shall maintain permanent active supervision
over industrial corporations engaged in interstate
commerce, or such of them as are of public im-
portance, doing for them what the government now
does for the national banks and what is now done
for the railroads by the interstate commerce com-
mission. Such a commission must enforce the com-
plete publicity of those corporate transactions which
are of public interest; must attack unfair competi-
tion, false capitalization and special privilege, and
by continuous trained watchfulness guard and keep
open equally to all the highways of American com-
merce.
Thus the business man will have certain knowl-
edge of the law and will be able to conduct his
business easily in conformity therewith, the in-
vestor will find security for his capital, dividends
will be rendered more certain and the savings of
the people will be drawn naturally and safely into
the channels of trade.
Under such a system of constructive regulation
legitimate business, freed from confusion uncer-
tainty and fruitless litigation, will develop normally
in response to the energy and enterprise of the
American business man.
PATENTS.
We pledge ourselves to the enactment of a patent
law which will make it impossible for patents to
be suppressed or used against the public welfare in
the interests of injurious monopolies.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMISSION.
We pledge our party to secure to the interstate
commerce commission the power to value the phys-
ical property of railroads. In order that the power
of the commission to protect the people may not
be impaired or destroyed we demand the abolition
of the Commerce court.
CURRENCY.
We believe there exists imperative need for prompt
legislation for the improvement of our national cur-
rency system. We believe the present method of
issuing notes through private agencies is harmful
and unscientific. The issue of currency is funda-
mentally a government function and the system
should have as basic principles soundness and elas-
ticity. The control should be lodged with the gov-
ernment and should be protected from domination
or manipulation by Wall street or any special in-
terests.
We are opposed to the so called Aldricb currency
bill because its provisions would place our currency
and credit system in private banks, not subject to
effective public control.
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT.
The time has come when the federal government
should co-operate with manufacturers and producers
in extending our foreign commerce. To this end
we demand adequate appropriations by congress and
the appointment of diplomatic and consular officers
solely with a view to their special fitness and worth
and not in consideration of political expediency.
It is imperative to the welfare of our people that
we enlarge and extend our foreign commerce. We
are pre-eminently fitted to do this because as a
people we have developed high skill in the art of
manufacturing. Ou? business men are strong ex-
ecutives, strong organizers. In every way possible
our federal government should co-operate in this
important matter.
Any one who has had opportunity to study and
observe first hand Germany's course in this respect
must realize that their policy of co-operation be-
tween government and business has in a compara-
tively few years made them the leading competi-
tors for the commerce of the world.
It should be remembered that they are doing this
on a national scale and with large units of busi-
ness, while the democrats would have us believe
that we should do it with small units of business,
which would be controlled not by the national gov-
ernment but by forty-eight conflicting state sover-
eignties.
Such a policy is utterly out of keeping with the
progress of the times and gives our great commer-
cial rivals in Europe hungry for international mar-
kets golden opportunities of which they are rapidly
taking advantage.
CONSERVATION.
The natural resources of the nation must be
promptly developed and generously used to supply
the i-eople's needs, but we cannot safely allow
them to be wasted, exploited, monopolized or con-
trolled against the general good. We heartily fa-
vor the policy of conservation and we pledge our
party to protect the national forests without hin-
dering their legitimate use for the benefit of all
the people. Agricultural lands in the national for-
ests are and should remain open to the genuine
settler. Conservation will not retard legitimate de-
velopment. The honest settler must receive his
patent promptly without hindrance, rules or delays.
146
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
We believe that the remaining forests, coal and
oil lands, water powers and other natural resources
still in state or national control (except agricul-
tural lands) are more likely to be wisely conserved
and utilized for the general welfare if held in the
public hands. In order that consumers and pro-
ducers, managers and workmen, now and hereafter,
need not pay toll to private monopolies of power
and raw material, we demand that such resources
shall be retained by the state or nation and opened
to immediate use under laws which will encourage
development and make to the people a moderate
return for benefits conferred.
In particular we pledge our party to require
reasonable compensation to the public for water
power rights hereafter granted by the public. We
pledge legislation to lease to the public grazing
lands under equitable provisions now pending which
will increase the production of food for the people
and thoroughly safeguard the rights of the actual
homemaker. Natural resources whose conservation
is necessary for the national welfare should be
owned or controlled by the nation.
GOOD ROADS.
We recognize the vital importance of good roads
and we pledge our party to foster their extension
in every proper way, and we favor the early con-
struction of national highways. We also favor the
extension of the rural free delivery service.
ALASKA.
The coal and other natural resources of Alaska
should be opened to development at once. They are
owned by the people of the United States and are
safe from monopoly, waste or destruction only while
so owned. We demand that they shall neither be
sold nor given away except under the homestead
law, but while held in government ownership shall
be opened to use promptly upon liberal terms re-
quiring immediate development.
Thus the benefit of cheap fuel will accrue to the
government of the United States and to the people
of Alaska and the Pacific coast; the settlement of
extensive agricultural lands will be hastened; the
extermination of the salmon will be prevented and
the just and wise development of Alaskan resources
will take the place of private extortion or monop-
oly. We demand also that extortion or monopoly
in transportation shall be prevented by the prompt
acquisition, construction or improvement by the
government of such railroads, harbor and other fa-
cilities for transportation as the welfare of the peo-
ple may demand.
We promise the people of the territory of Alaska
the same measure of local self-government that was
given to other American territories and that federal
officials appointed there shall be qualified by pre-
vious bona fide residence in the territory.
WATERWAYS.
The rivers of the United States are the natural
arteries of this continent. We demand that they
shall be opened to traffic as indispensable parts of
a great nationwide system of transportation, in
which the Panama canal will be the central link,
thus enabling the whole interior of the United
States to share with the Atlantic and Pacific sea-
boards in the benefit derived from the canal. It
is a national obligation to develop our rivers, and
especially the Mississippi and its tributaries, with-
out delay, under a comprehensive general plan gov-
erning oach river system from its source to its
mouth, designed to secure its highest usefulness for
navigation, irrigation, domestic supply, water power
and the prevention of floods.
We pledge our party to the immediate preparation
of such a plan, which should be made and carried
out in close and friendly co-operation between the
nation, the states and the cities affected. Under
such a plan the destructive floods of the Mississippi
and other streams, which represent a vast and need-
less loss to the nation, would be controlled by for-
est conservation, and by water storage at the head-
waters and by levees below land sufficient to sup-
port millions of people would be reclaimed from the
deserts and the swamps, water power enough to
transform the industrial standings of whole states
would be developed, adequate water terminals would
be provided, transportation by river would revive
and the railroads would be compelled to co-operate
as freely with the boat lines as with each other.
The equipment, organization and experience ac-
quired in constructing the Panama canal soon will
be available for the lakes-to-the-gulf deep water-
way and other portions of this great work and
should be utilized by the nation in co-operation
with the various states, at the lowest net cost to
the people.
PANAMA CANAL.
The Panama canal, built and paid for by the
American people, must be used primarily for their
benefit. We demand that the canal shall be so
operated as to break the transportation monopoly
now held and misused by the transcontinental rail-
roads by maintaining sea competition with them;
that ships directly or indirectly owned or controlled
by American railroad corporations shall not be per-
mitted to use the canal and that American ships
engaged in coastwise trade shall pay no tolls.
The progressive party will favor legislation hav-
ing for its aim the development of friendship and
commerce between the United States and Latin-
American nations.
TARIFF.
We believe in a protective tariff which shall
equalize conditions of competition between the
United States and foreign countries, both for the
farmer and the manufacturer, and which shall
maintain for labor an adequate standard of living.
Primarily the benefit of any tariff should be dis-
closed in the pay envelope of the laborer. W T e de-
clare that no industry deserves protection which is
unfair to labor or which is operating in violation of
federal law. We believe that the presumption is
always in favor of the consuming public.
We demand tariff revision because the present
tariff is unjust to the people of the United States.
Fair dealing toward the people requires an imme-
diate downward revision of tnose schedules wherein
duties are shown to be unjust or excessive.
We pledge ourselves to the establishment of a non-
partisan scientific tariff commission, reporting both
to the president and to either branch of congress,
which snail report, first, as to the costs of produc-
tion, efficiency of labor, capitalization, industrial
organization and efficiency and the general competi-
tive position in this country and abroad of indus-
tries seeking protection from congress; second, as
to the revenue producing power of the tariff and
its relation to the resources of government; and.
thirdly, as to the effect of the tariff on prices, op-
erations of middlemen and on the purchasing power
of the consumer. We believe that this commission
should have plenary power to elicit information
and for this purpose to prescribe a uniform system
of accounting for the great protected industries.
The work of the commission should not prevent the
immediate adoption of acts reducing those sched-
ules generally recognized as excessive.
We condemn the Payne-Aldrich bill as unjust to
the people. The republican organization is in the
hands of those who have broken, and cannot again
be trusted to keep, the promise of necessary down-
ward revision. The democratic party is committed
to the destruction of the protective system through
a* tariff for revenue only a policy which would in-
evitably produce widespread industrial and com-
mercial disaster. We demand the immediate repeal
of the Canadian reciprocity act.
INHERITANCE AND INCOME TAX.
We believe in a graduated inheritance tax as a
national means of equalizing the obligations of
holders of property to government, and we hereby
pledge our party to enact such a federal law as
will tax large inheritances, returning to the states
an equitable percentage of all amounts collected.
We favor the ratification of the pending amend-
ment to the constitution giving the government
power to levy an income tax.
PEACE AND NATIONAL DEFENSE.
The progressive party deplores the survival in
our civilization of the barbaric system of warfare
among nations, with its enormous waste of re-
sources even in time of peace, and the consequent
impoverishment of the life of the toiling masses.
We pledge the party to use its best endeavors to
substitute judicial and other peaceful means of
settling international differences.
We favor an international agreement for the lim-
itation of naval forces. Pending such an agree*

ment, and as the best means of preserving peace,
we pledge ourselves to maintain for the present
the policy of building two battle ships a year.
We pledge our party to protect the rights of
American citizenship at home and abroad. No
treaty should receive the sanction of our govern-
ment which discriminates between American citi-
zens because of birthplace, race or religion, or that
does not recognize the absolute right of expatria-
tion.
THE IMMIGRANT.
Through the establishment of industrial standards
we propose to secure to the able bodied immigrant
and to his native fellow workers a larger share of
American opportunity.
We denounce the fatal policy of indifference and
neglect which has left our enormous immigrant pop-
ulation to become the prey of chance and cupidity.
We favor governmental action to encourage the dis-
tribution of immigrants away from the congested
cities, rigidly to supervise all private agencies
dealing with them and to promote their assimila-
- tion, education and advancement.
PENSIONS.
We pledge ourselves to a wise and just policy of
pensioning American soldiers and sailors and their
widows and children by the federal government.
W T e approve the policy of the southern states in
granting pensions to the ex-confederate soldiers
and sailors and their widows and children.
PARCELS POST.
We pledge our party to the immediate creation
of a parcels post, with rates proportionate to dis-
tance and service.
CIVIL SERVICE.
We condemn the violations of the civil service
law under the present administration, including the
coercion and assessment of subordinate employes
and the president's refusal to punish such viola-
tion after a finding of guilty by his own commis-
sion; his distribution of patronage among subser-
vient congressmen, while withholding it from those
who refuse support of administration measures;
his withdrawal of nominations from the senate
until political support for himself was secured, and
his open use of the offices to reward those who
voted for his renomination.
To eradicate these abuses we demand not only
the enforcement of the civil service act in letter
and spirit, but also legislation which will bring
under the competitive system postmasters, collec-
tors, marshals and all other nonpolitical officers,
as well as the enactment of an equitable retire-
ment law, and we also insist upon continuous
service during good behavior and efficiency.
We pledge our party to readjustment of the busi-
ness methods of the national government and a
proper co-ordination of the federal bureaus, which
will increase the economy and efficiency of the
government service, prevent duplications and se
cure better results to the taxpayers for every dol-
lar expended.
SUPERVISION OVER INVESTMENTS.
The people of the United States are swindled out
of many millions of dollars every year through
worthless investments. The plain people, the wage
earner and the men and women with small savings,
have no way of knowing the merit of concerns
sending out highly colored prospectuses offering
stock for sale, prospectuses that make big returns
seem certain and fortunes easily within grasp.
We hold it to be the duty of the government to
protect its people from this kind of piracy. We
therefore demand wise, carefully thought out legis-
lation that will give us such governmental super-
vision over this matter as will furnish to the peo-
ple of the United States this much needed protec-
tion, and we pledge ourselves thereto.
CONCLUSION.
On these principles and on the recognized desir-
ability of uniting the progressive forces of the na-
tion into an organization which shall unequivocally
represent the progressive spirit and policy, we ap-
peal for the support of all American citizens, with-
out regard to previous political affiliations.
POPULIST.
Adopted at St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 13.

in 1892, is reaffirmed with the declaration, "The
quantitative theory of money as declared in our
Omaha platform is now universally conceded."
Other planks in the new platform demand:
Issuance of money by the government direct to
the people.
Loans by the government to the people.

systems and the parcel post.
The initiative, the referendum, direct election of
United States senators, direct primaries, presiden-
tial primaries and equal suffrage.
Registration of lobbyists.
Graduated income and inheritance tax.
Free schools in the lines of manual and occupa-
tional training.
Recognition of the Chinese republic.
Old age pensions.
The commission form of government for cities.
Granting of franchises to public utility corpora
tions by popular vote.

Assurance society in lower Broadway, New York,
N. Y., was destroyed by fire early on the morning
of Jan. 9, 1912. Six lives were lost, the victims
being watchmen employed by the company and a
fireman. The property loss was estimated at
$6,000,000. A number of valuable records and two
libraries were destroyed.

ARCTIC AND ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION.
ROALD AMUNDSEN REACHES SOUTH POLE.
Capt. Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the north-
west passage, reached the south pole Dec. 16, 1911.
This tact was announced to the world in a cable
dispatch dated at Hobart, Tasmania, March 7, 1912,
and addressed to Leon Amundsen in Christiania,
Norway. The expedition left Norway in August,
1910, on the arctic steamer Fram, for oceanographic
work on the Atlantic coast of America. The origi-
nal plan was to proceed to San Francisco and ulti-
mately to the Arctic ocean via Bering strait. Cir-
cumstances caused Capt. Amundsen to change his
mind and instead of going to the northern seas he
steered for the south. The Fram arrived at the
barrier ice in the Antarctic ocean Jan. 14, 1911,
and the following day he determined to establish
his headquarters on the ice a little to the west of
Edward VII. land, at a point where there was a large
indentation in the ice wall. A house was erected
on top of the barrier, 150 feet above the surface of
the bay. Amundsen named it "Framheim" (home
of the Fram). It stood in 164 degrees west longi-
tude, 78 degrees 40 minutes south latitude.
In February food depots were es'tablished at 80,
81 and 82 degrees south latitude. Enough seal meat
was stored at these places to feed the men and the
110 dogs of the expedition as long as might be nec-
essary. During the antarctic winter, lasting from
April until October, the time was spent in recon-
structing the sledges, taking observations and doing
other scientific work. Sept. 8, 1911, a start toward
the south was made with eight men, seven sledges,
ninety dogs and provisions for four months. It was
soon found that it was too early for traveling, as
the dogs could not stand the low temperature, and
the party returned to the base.
Oct. 20 a second start was made, the party this
time consisting of five men, four sledges, fifty-two
dcgs and provisions for four months. The depot
at 80 degrees south was reached on the 23d and
the one at SI degrees on the 26th. Snow cairns
were built to serve as landmarks on the return jour-
ney. The depot at 82 degrees was reached Nov. 5
and after a halt of three days to rest and feed
the dogs the march was resumed at the rate of
about thirty miles a day. The going was excellent
and the temperature even. Nov. 9 the party
reached 83 degrees, on the 13th it reached 84 de-
grees and on the 15th 85 degrees, where it was
found that the land and the ice barrier were con-
nected. Here a large depot was established, pro-
visions for thirty days being left. The sledges
were loaded with food to last for sixty days. At
this point mountains, glaciers and crevices were
encountered and the going became difficult both for
the men and the dogs, but on the fourth day the
great inland plateau was reached, the party camp-
ing at a height of 10,000 feet above sea level.
Here twenty-four of the dogs were killed, leaving

degrees 40 minutes south, was passed. Two days
later the party reached 88 degrees 23 minutes, and
Dec. 9 had exceeded Lieut. Shackleton's farthest
south by 14 minutes of latitude. The plateau sloped
down toward the south and rapid progress was
made, with good weather and walking.
Dec. 13 the observations indicated that 89 degrees
45 minutes had been reached and on the following
day the Norwegian colors were planted at what was
believed to be the south pole. Observations care-
fully taken Dec. 15 showed that the point was at
89 degrees 55 minutes south latitude and Dec. 16
the party went the remaining nine kilometers (5.6
miles) and camped at 90 degrees south, or at the
south pole. The sunshine was brilliant and a com-
plete round of observations was taken with a sex-
tant and artificial horizon. A little tent was fas-
tened to the ground with a Norwegian flag and a
Fram pennant on top of it. The return trip was
begun Dec. 17 and the winter headquarters were
reached Jan. 25, 1912, with all well. Eleven dogs
and two sledges were brought back.
Capt. Amundsen's companions on the eventful
voyage were Holmer Hansen, Oscar Wisting, Sverre
THE SCOTT EXPEDITION.
Under date of Jan. 3, 1912, word was received in
April from Capt. Robert F. Scott of the British
antarctic expedition, the message having been con-
veyed to civilization by his ship, the Terra Nova.
At the time mentioned he was 87 degrees 32 minutes
south, or within about 150 miles of the pole. He

Hassel and Olaf Bjaaland. The discoveries made
on the trip included a range of mountains, called
by the explorer the Queen Maud range; Axel Hei-
berg glacier, Fridtjof Nansen peak, Don Pedro
Christopherson peak and Mount Ole Engelstad.
These mountains were between 13,500 and 15,000
feet high. The plateau at the pole was named
King Haakon VII. plateau. The distance marched
each way was about 1,400 kilometers (868 miles).
On the outward trip the daily average march was
25 kilometers (15.5 miles); on the return trip the
daily average speed was 36 kilometers (22.3 miles).
The expedition left the Bay of Whales in the
Fram Jan. 30 and arrived at Hobart, Tasmania,
March 7. Capt. Amundsen and his crew after a
brief rest resumed their voyage to the north, the
former to lecture in South American and othe^
countries on the expedition and to prepare for his
proposed journey to the north pole. April 16 the
Norwegian storthing granted $35,000 for this expe-
dition, which may be undertaken in 1913, in ac-
cordance with the plans made in 1910.
of the Inneskillen dragoons, and himself. They had
a mouth's provisions and the prospects of reaching
the pole were then good. The report from. Capt
Scott made no mention of Capt. Amundsen's expe-
dition and it was evident that he was in total
ignorance of his rival's success in attaining the
pole Dec. 16, or a month earlier than the British
expedition could get there. The Scott party seemed
to have had a much harder time in its journey
than Amundsen and his companions had on their
more easterly route. Ponies as well as dogs were
used and some of the former were shot for food
for the dogs. A motor sledge was also found use-
ful and was employed in carrying various members
of the expedition on their exploring trips in the
vicinity of the base camp. Bituminous coal, marble
and topaz, fossils and thousands of wingless in-
sects were found. It was not expected that further
news from the expedition would be received before
March or April, 1913.
The Scott antarctic expedition left New Zealand
Nov. 29, 1910, on the Terra Nova. The ship re-
turned in March. 1911, and in April, 1912, going
back to the headquarters at Cape Evans in No-
vember, 1912.
MIKKELSEN EXPEDITION.
Capt. Einar Mikkelsen, the Danish arctic explor-
er, who was thought to nave perished with his only
companion, Engineer Seversen, while on an expe-
dition to recover the Erichsen records on the east
coast of Greenland, was rescued in July, 1912, by
a Norwegian shin and brought to Aalesund, Nor-
way, arriving there July 29. Capt. Mikkelsen
reached the Erichsen cairn at 80:25 north latitude
in May, 1910, and recovered the records there.
Erichsen had left this place Sept. 12, 1907, in good
shape for Ms return journey toward the south.
Some other depots were found by Capt. Mikkelsen,
but no further trace of Erichsen himself. Mikkel-
sen had to abandon his plan of crossing the north
end of Greenland and proceeding down the west
coast. He and his companion had many narrow es-
capes from starvation and suffered greatly from
scurvy and the severe weather. They pulled through,
however, and saved their diaries, which on one oc-
casion they had to abandon. The winter of 1910-1911
was spent at Winter harbor and that of 1911-1912
on Bass Rock island, on the east coast.
AUSTRALIAN ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION.
The ship Aurora, which took Dr. Douglas Maw-
son's antarctic expedition to Adelie land in the fail
of 1911^ returned to Hobart, Tasmania, March 12,
1912. The expedition found Termination land, dis-
covered in early days by Wilkes, and chartered nu-
merous small islands along the great ice barrier.
Claire land, said to have been discovered in 1838,
was proved to be a myth. Dr. Mawson sent back a
letter in which he described the southern magnetic
pole as a force center which moves around daily
within a circular area, the diameter of which is
variable and uncertain. The whole area it had
traveled in sixty-nine years, he said, was 240 miles.
The Mawson expedition is expected to return to
Australia in the spring of 1913.
AXDERSON-STEFANSSON EXPEDITION.
In January, 1912, word was received from the
Anderson-Stefansson expedition, which for about
three years had been engaged in exploration work
in the arctic regions for the American Museum of
Natural History, that it had practically completed
its mission. It was then in the neighborhood of
Coronation gulf and Victoria land, north of British
America. In May, 1911. Mr. Stefansson found a
race of natives with light eyebrows and reddish
beards, who were more like people from the north

of Europe than Eskimos. One of the Alaskan Eski-
mos called them "fo'c'sle men." One or two other
new tribes, never before visited by white men,
were found in the vicinity of Victoria land.
CROCKER LAND EXPEDITION.
Owing to the death of George Borup by drowning
in Long Island sound April 28, 1912, the expedition
planned by him and Prof. D. B. Macmillan, having
for its objective Crocker land, had to be postponed
until 1913. It had been practically arranged to start
in June, 1912, in the arctic steamer Roosevelt, with
the purpose of establishing a base west of Cape
Columbia, whence the journey to Crocker land could
be made by sledge. The original plans will be car-
ried out by Prof. Macmillan, according to an an-
nouncement made in 1912.
JAPANESE ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION.
The Japanese antarctic expedition under Lieut.
Shirase left Yokohama in the 150 ton schooner
Hainan Maru Nov. 28, 1910. The equipment was in-
adequate and the ship returned to Sydney, N. S.
W., May 1, 1911, having been unable to "penetrate
the ice along Victoria land. Nov. 10, after repairs
had been made on the schooner and its equipment
had been improved, the expedition made a second
start for the south. This time it reached the Bay
of Whales and a landing was made on the barrier,
near the headquarters of the Amundsen expedition.
The time was spent chiefly in coastal exploring on
King Edward land. June 20, 1912, the Kainan Maru
arrived at Yokohama, Japan, with all the members
of the expedition in good health.

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL MELVILLE.
Rear-Admiral Georee Wallace Melville, U. S. N.,
retired, died in Philadelphia, Pa., March 17. 1912,
from paralysis. He was born Jan. 10, 1841. As
an officer in the engineer corps of the navy he took
an active part in the civil war and later attained
distinction as an arctic explorer. He was command-
er of the Tigress, which in 1873 made a search
for the lost ship Polaris. In 1879-1881 he was a
member of the ill fated Jeanette expedition and
commanded the boat's crew which finally escaped
after an unparalleled retreat of 2,300 miles. He
made a third voyage to the arctic regions and re-
covered the records of the Jeanette expedition.
He was honored by many educational and scien-
tific institutions.
RAILROADS FINED FOR REBATING.
The Lake Shore, Michigan Central and Big Four
lines pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiracy to
grant rebates and were fined $40,000 in the federal
District court. Chicago, by Judge Carpenter, May
7, 1912. The Big Four (Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chi-
cago & St. Louis) was indicted on two counts and
paid a fine of $20,000. The fines were the maxi-
mum under the law. It was admitted that rebates
had been granted theatrical companies using the
lines in the form of lavish expenditures for ad-
vertisements in theater programmes.

LOSS OF THE WHITE STAR LINER TITANIC.
Date April 15, 1912.
Place Atlantic ocean, lat. 41:16 north, long. 50:14
west.
Persons aboard 2,223.
Lives lost 1,517.
Persons saved 706.
Cause of disaster Collision with iceberg.
The White Star liner Titanic, the newest, finest
and largest steamship in existence at the time, col-
lided with an iceberg at 11:46 p. m. Sunday, April
14, 1912, and sank at 2:20 a. m. Monday, April 15,
causing the loss of 1,517 lives. Seven hundred and
six persons, mostly women and children, were saved
by means of lifeboats and rafts. These survivors
were picked up by the steamship Carpathia, which,
in response to a call by wireless for assistance,
arrived at the scene of the disaster at 4 o'clock in
the morning and conveyed them to New York, that
port being reached on the evening of Thursday,
April 18.
The Titanic was making its first voyage across
the Atlantic, having left the hands of its builders
in Belfast April 2. It sailed from Southampton
April 10, and, after calling at Cherbourg, France,
the same day, and Queensfown, Ireland, the fol-
lowing day, it proceeded toward New York, taking
the usual southerly spring course. There was a
large number of passengers aboard, many of them
attracted by a desire to witness the performance
of the gigantic vessel on its initial trip and to
share in its comforts ami luxuries. One of these
was J. Bruce Ismay, chairman and managing di-
rector of the White Star line and president of the
International Mercantile Marine company. William
T. Stead, the widely known London editor; John
Jacob Astor, the New York capitalist; Charles M.
Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Railroad com-
pany; Frank D. Millet, artist; Lord and Lady Duff-
Gordon of England; Maj. Archibald Butt, military
aid to President Taft; J. B. Thayer, second vice-
president of the Pennsylvania Railroad company;
Washington A. Roebling, bridge engineer, Trenton,
N. J.: Isidor Straus and Benjamin Guggenheim.
New York capitalists; George D. Widener, son of
P. A. B. Widener of Philadelphia; Jacques Futrelle,
author, and Henry B. Harris, theatrical manager,
were also among the persons of note included in
the passenger list. Capt. E. J. Smith was in com-
mand of the ship.
The voyage at the start was uneventful. The sea
was calm and the weather clear, though rather
cold. Tl-e wind was westerly to southwesterly.
As usual with new ships, the speed was being grad-
ually increased from day to day. According to a
statement made afterward by Mr. Ismay, the dis-
tance covered on the first day was 464 miles, on the
second 519 miles and on the third about 546 miles.
No attempt, he said, was made to reach the full
speed of which the vessel was capable, as it was
not intended to reach New York until Wednesdav
morning.
ICE WARNINGS RECEIVED.
Sunday the wireless operators aboard the Titanic
received three warnings that icebergs were in or
near the course of the vessel. The first came from
the Bnltic at noon, the second from the Californian
of the Loyland line about 7 o'clock in the evening
and the third about an hour before the collision.
llns was also from the Oalifornian, the message
reading: "We are stopped and surrounded by ice."
lo this last message the operator on the Titanic
is reported to have replied: "Shut up. I am busy,
I am working Cape Race." The Baltic's operator
overheard ice reports going to the Titanic from the
Prinz Friedrich Wilhelm and from the Amerika,
while the Carpathia on the same day overheard
the Parisian talking with other ships about ice.
No special attention was paid to these warnings by
the officers of the Titanic, except that one of them
instructed the lookouts to keep "a sharp lookout
for ice." Capt. Smith remarked to Second Officer
Charles S. Lightoller, who was on duty on the
bridge until 10 o'clock Sunday evening, "If it is
in the slightest degree hazy we shall have to go
very slowly. If in the least degree doubtful let
me know." There was no haze and the ship's
speed of 21 knots, or 24% miles an hour, was not
reduced.
COLLISION WITH ICEBERG.
At 11:46 p. m. the lookout signaled the bridge
and telephoned the officer of the watch, "Iceberg
right ahead." The officer of the watch, First Offi-
cer W. M. Murdoch, immediately ordered the quar-
termaster at the wheel to put the helm "hard a-
star board," and reversed the engines, but while
the sixth officer, J. P. Moody, standing behind the
quartermaster at the wheel, reported to Officer
Murdoch, "The helm is hard a-starboard," the Ti-
tanic struck the ice. The impact, while not vio-
lent enough to disturb the passengers or crew or
to arrest the ship's progress, rolled the vessel
slightly and tore the steel plating above the turn
of the bilge. A few of the passengers came on
deck to find out what the trouble was, but there
was no alarm. Immediately after the collision air
was heard whistling or hissing from the overflow
pipe to the forepeak tank, indicating the escape of
air from that tank because of the inrush of water.
Practically at once the first three compartments
in the hold and the forward boiler room, as well
as the forepeak tank, filled with water and reports
of the situation were made from the mail and
trunk room in No. 3 hold and the firemen's quarters
in No. 1 hold. Leading Fireman Barrett saw the
water rushing into the forward fireroom from a
tear about two feet above the stokehold floor plates
and about twenty feet below the waterline, the
tear extending two feet into the coal bunker at the
forward end of the second fireroom.
The reports received by Capt. Smith, after various
inspections of the ship must have acquainted him
promptly with its serious condition and when in-
terrogated by Mr. Ismay he so expressed himself.
It is believed also that this serious condition was
promptly realized by the chief engineer, J. Bell,
and by the builders' representative, Thomas An-
drews, both of whom perished.
Under the added weight of water the bow of the
ship sank deeper and deeper and through the open
hatch leading from the mail room and through
other openings the water overflowed E deck, below
which the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and
eighth transverse bulkheads ended, and thus flooded
the compartments abaft No. 3 hold.
The Titanic was fitted with fifteen transverse
watertight bulkheads, but only one of them ex-
tended to the uppermost continuous deck, C. The

others extended only to decks D and E. The bulk-
heads having their openings through deck E were
not actually watertight, as it was subsequently
.shown that the flooding of that deck contributed
largely to the sinking of the ship. Theoretically
any two of the sixteen main watertight compart-
ments might be flooded without involving the safety
of the ship. As already stated, the five extreme
forward compartments were flooded almost at once
by reason of the nonwatertight character of the
deck at which the transverse bulkheads ended and
the sinking of the vessel was inevitable.
CALL FOR HELP.
No general alarm was sounded, no whistle blown
and no systematic warning was given the passen-
gers. Within fifteen or twenty minutes 'Capt. Smith
visited the wireless room and instructed the opera-
tors, J. G. Phillips and Harold S. Bride, to call
for assistance by sending out the distress signal,
"C. Q. D." At the time the call was sent out
there were eight vessels within reach of the Ti-
tanic's wireless apparatus. These were the Cali-
fornian, west bound, 19% miles (or less) to the
north; the Mount Temple of the Canadian Pacific
line, west bound, 49 miles to the west; the Car-
pathia of the Cunard line, east bound, to the south-
east; the Birma, a Russian ship, 70 miles distant;
the Frankfurt of the North German Lloyd line,
east bound, 153 miles to the southeast; the Virgin-
ian of the Allan line, about 170 miles distant; the
Baltic of the White Star line, east bound, 343
miles to the southeast, and the Olympic, sister ship
of the Titanic, east bound, 512 miles to the west-
ward. The Caronia, some 800 miles to the east-
ward, also overheard the Titanic's call for aid.
The distress call was heard by the wireless sta-
tion at Cape Race, together with the report that
the vessel had struck an iceberg, and from this
station the news of the accident, which at first
was not thought to have involved the loss of life,
was given to the world. The C. Q. D. signal was
also heard by the Mount Temple, the Frankfurt,
the Baltic, the Carpathia, the Virginian and was
relayed by them to other vessels. At an investiga-
tion undertaken by a committee of the United
States senate, from whose official report this ac-
count of the disaster is largely taken, sixteen wit-
nesses from the Titanic, including officers, seamen
and passengers, testified to seeing the lights of a
vessel in the distance, just after the collision.
The Titanic fired distress rockets and attempted
to signal by electric lamp and Morse code to this
vessel. At about the same time the officers of the
Californian saw rockets in the general direction of
the Titanic and, according to the testimony subse-
quently given by them, they displayed a powerful
Morse lamp. Several of the crew of the Californian
testified before the senate committee that the side
lights of a large vessel going at full speed were
plainly visible from the lower deck of their ship
at Ilf30 p. m., or just before the accident. The
wireless operator on the Californian was not
aroused until early on the morning of the 15th,
when he was directed to find out what the rockets,
seen hours before, meant. It was then learned
that the Titanic bad sunk, but it was too late to
give any assistance. The senate committee in its
report expressed the opinion that the Californian
was much nearer the Titanic than the nineteen
miles reported by the -captain, and that it might
have had the distinction of saving the lives of the
passengers and crew of the sinking liner.
The Frankfurt replied to the distress call, but
failed to give its own position, and when it later
asked the Titanic, "What is the matter?" one of
the operators on the disabled ship told the Frank-
furt operator that he was a fool. Notwithstanding
this, the captain of the Frankfurt said he would go
to the Titanic's assistance. Owing to the delay,
however, he was unable to be of any service.
CARPATHIA TO THE RESCUE.
At the time of the collision the Titanic was in
latitude 41:16 north and longitude 50:14 west. This
is approximately 450 miles south of Cape Race
1,191 miles east of New York and 1,799 west of
Queenstown. The Cunard steamship Carpathia,
which was the only vessel to come to the rescue in
time, was on its way to Mediterranean ports with
a considerable number of excursionists. It was
fifty-eight miles to the southeast of the Titanic
when at 12:30 o'clock in the morning of the 15th
ts wireless operator, Thomas Cottam, who was
iust about to go off duty, heard the distress signal
'rom the White Star liner. He verified it and no-
:ified Capt. Arthur H. Rostron at 12:35 a. m. The
atter at once put his ship about, ordered his crew
and doctors to get everything in readiness for re-
ceiving a large number of shipwrecked persons
aboard and proceeded at full speed in the direc-
tion of the disabled vessel, the exact position of
which had been given in the call for help. Opera-
tor Cottam remained in communication with the
Titanic, giving the position of the Carpathia and
saying that it was hurrying to the rescue. The
last message he received from the Titanic was:
"Come quick; our engine room is filling up to the
boilers.' ?
LOADING THE LIFEBOATS.
Having sent out calls for assistance and ordered
the firing of distress rockets at frequent intervals,
Capt. Smith and his oflftcers took steps to notify
the passengers of the danger and to place as many
of them as possible in safety. Messengers were
sent to the various decks shouting, "All passengers
on deck with life preservers on." The order was
obeyed quietly and quickly and so far as knowa
all were aroused and equipped with life preservers.
The testimony is that there was a total absence
of panic and but little appearance of excitement.
The ship was absolutely still and, except for a
slight tilt forward, rode on an even keel. By the
captain's orders the lifeboats were uncovered and
made ready to be lowered into the water. The sen-
ate report says:
"The lack of preparation at this time was most
noticeable. There was no system adopted for load-
ing the boats; there was great indecision as to the
deck from which the boats were to be lowered;
there was wide diversity of opinion as to the num-
ber of the crew necessary to man each boat; there
was no direction whatever as to the number of
passengers to be carried by each boat and no uni-
formity in loading them. On one side only women
and children were put into the boats, while on the
other side there was an almost equal proportion of
men and women put into the boats, the women and
children being given the preference in all cases.
The failure to utilize all lifeboats to their recog-
nized capacity for safety unquestionably resulted
in the needless sacrifice of several hundred lives
whi-ch might otherwise have been saved.
"The vessel was provided with lifeboats for 1,176
persons, while but 706 were saved. Only a few of
the ship's lifeboats were fully loaded, while others
were only partially filled. Some were loaded at
the boat deck and some at A deck, and these were
successfully lowered to the water. The twentieth
boat was washed overboard when the forward part
of the ship was submerged, and in its overturned
condition served as a life raft for about thirty
people, including Second Officer Lightoller, Wireless
Operators Bride and Phillips the latter dying be-
fore rescue Col. Archibald Gracie and Jack Thayer.
passengers, and others of the crew who climbed
upon it from the water at about the time the ship
disappeared.
"Had the sea been rough it is questionable
whether any of the lifeboats of the Titanic would
have reached the water without being damaged or
destroyed. The point of suspension of the boats
was about seventy feet above the level of the sea.
Had the ship been rolling heavily the lifeboats, as
they were lowered, would have swung out from
the side of the ship as it rolled toward them and
on the return roll would have swung back and
crashed against its side.
"The testimony is definite that, except in iso-
lated instances, there was no panic. In loading
boats no distinction was made between first, second
and third class passengers, although the proportion
of lost was larger among the third-class passengers
than in either of the other classes. Women and
children^ without discrimination were given pref-
' WOMEN AND CHILDREN FIRST.
Second Officer Lisrhtoller had charge of the load-
ing of six of the lifeboats and he complied strictly
with the "rule of the sea" that women and chil-
dren should be cared for first. There were alto-

gether fourteen lifeboats, capable of holding sixty-
five persons each; two emergency seaboats to hold
thirty-five persons each and four collapsible boats
with a capacity of forty-nine persons each. In the
steerage there was some crowding by the men, but
it was checked by the ofHcers and the crew, who
obeyed the captain's injunction to "act like British
men." The men, whether millionaires or paupers,
were as a rule equally heroic. They either stood
back while the boats were being loaded or helped
in the work. This was notably the case with Mai.
Archibald Butt, John Jacob Astor, Isidor Straus,
Jacques Putrelle and Henry B. Harris, all of whom
perished.
Isidor Straus resolutely refused to enter a life-
boat, though asked to do so. "As long as there
is a woman on this vessel," he is reported to have
said, "I will not leave. When the women are safe
then come the men." Mrs. Straus was entreated
to get in with the other women, but she refused
to leave her husband and died with him. There
were other instances of the same kind. There was
evidently a feeling that the ship was in no imme-
diate peril and most of the married women went
aboard the lifeboats under the impression that
their husbands would soon follow them in other
boats. Nothing was seen of .William T. Stead. He
is supposed to have remained in his room and gone
down with the ship.
BAND PLAYS AS SHIP SINKS.
In the meantime the Titanic was steadily sinking
by the head and the water was rising from deck
to deck. The hundreds left on the ship were pre-
paring to go down with it or -jump into the sea.
A few men were struggling to launch a boat that
had become jammed, but otherwise nothing was
being done. The eight musicians of the ship, who
had come together while the lifeboats were being
launched, continued playing to give the imperiled
passengers confidence. Even as the vessel was
about to take its final plunge the strains of "Nearer,
My God. to Thee," were heard. It was the most
dramatic feature of the great tragedy.
It was 2:20 o'clock in the morning when the ship
finally went down. Just as it was about to dis-
appear two explosions were heard, and to some it
appeared as though the vessel broke in two amid-
ships. The preponderance of evidence, however, is
that when it went down it assumed an almost end-
on position and sank intact. The people in the
nearest lifeboats heard loud screaming and moan-
ing for what seemed to be several minutes and
then all was still.
Col. Gracie was one of the last persons on the
ship as it sank. He was drawn under the water
by the suction, but some explosion in the vessel
sent him and others to the surface. He clung to
a piece of wreckage until he recovered his breath
and then he discovered the overturned lifeboat,
which he managed to reach. He and another man
helped others upon the craft and at daylight there
were thirty men standing upon it. They were knee
deep in water and afraid to move lest they upset
and drown. Besides those mentioned in the senate
report, quoted in a preceding paragraph, H. J.
Pitman, third officer; J. G. Boxhall, fourth officer,
and H. C. Lowe, fifth officer, were rescued in this
manner. First Officer Murdoch perished, as did
Capt. E. J. Smith. The exact manner of their
death is not known. It was reported, but not veri-
fied, that the former shot himself before the vessel
sank. The same was said of the captain, but this
was declared to be untrue. Some of the passengers
claimed to have seen him take a child in his arms
and jump into the sea. A sailor said the child was
taken aboard a lifeboat, but that the captain sank.
J Bruce Ismay entered one of the lifeboats before
the ship went down and was saved. He claimed
that no women were in sight at the time and that
there was room for him.
After lowering, several of the lifeboats rowed
many hours in the direction of the lights supposed
to have been displayed by the Californian. Other
boats lay on their oars in the vicinity of the sink-
ing ship, a few survivors being rescued from the
water. The sea was glassy smooth, the stars were
shining and the night was clear. It was cold, how-
ever, and those who were wet suffered severely.
Many of the rescued were thinly clad and some of
them, including women, were glad to take part in
the rowing to keep warm. One or more seamen
had been assigned to each boat to take charge of
it. After distributing his passengers among four
other boats which he bad brought together and
after the cries of distress had died away, Fifth
Officer Lowe, in boat No. 14, went to the scene of
the wreck and rescued four living passengers from
the water, one of whom afterward died in the
boat. The men who had taken refuge on the over-
turned lifeboat were taken off by lifeboats Nos. 4
and 12. The fourth collapsible lifeboat contained
twenty-eight women and children, mostly third-
class passengers, three firemen, one steward, four
Filipinos, J. Bruce Ismay and W. E. Carter of
Philadelphia, and was in charge of Quartermaster
Rowe. THE RESCUE.
At 4 o'clock in the morning the lights of the
Carpathia were seen and all the boats rowed in the
direction of the approaching steamer. The Cunard-
er had made good time, though forced to alter its
course several times on account of icebergs. At
4:10 a. m. the first lifeboat was picked up and at
8:30 a, m. the last of the survivors were aboard.
Day was breaking when the first boat was unloaded
and after that the surface of the Ocean for miles
around was visible. Thirteen of the lifeboats were
picked up and taken to New York. Capt. Rostron,
in his official report, said that at this time his
ship was surrounded by icebergs, large and small,
and that three miles to the northwest was a huge
field of drift ice with large and small bergs in it.
At 8 o'clock the Californian came up and was re-
quested to continue the search for survivors or
bodies. The Mount Temple also reached the scene
in the morning and assisted in the search, but no
bodies were found. It is believed that those sub-
sequently picked up had been carried by strong
currents away from the spot where the Titanic
went down or were hidden by the extensive ice
At 8:30 a. m. the Carpathia started directly for
New York. While the rescue work was in progress
a clergyman aboard offered a prayer of tnankful-
ness for those saved and performed a short burial
service for the dead. Everything possible was done
for the survivors of the wreck, passengers and
officers giving up their rooms and providing articles
of clothing for those needing them.
The wireless equipment of the Carpathia was not
of the best and more or less trouble was had in
sending messages ashore or to other ships. The
regular operator, Thomas Cottam, was assisted by
Harold S. Bride of the Titanic, who was saved in
a crippled condition. They confined themselves to
sending official and private messages and the names
of the rescued, paying no attention to requests for
details of the disaster, or even to the efforts of
the operators on the United States scout cruiser
Salem, who tried to get information as to the fate
of Maj. Archibald Butt for President Taft. The
operators on the Carpathia excused themselves
later on the ground that the wireless men on the
warship were incompetent and that it was a waste
of time to reply to them. Because of this lack of
definite information the arrival of the Carpathia
was awaited with much anxiety. When the ship
finally reached its dock in New York at 9:30 p. m.,
Thursday, April 18, it was met by a large number
of people eager to welcome the survivors and to
make inquiries about the missing. Those of the
rescued who were ill or disabled were taken to
hospitals, while others went to their homes or to
hotels to proceed to their destinations on the fol-
lowing day.
STATEMENT OF PASSENGERS.
Upon the arrival of the Carpathia a statement
signed by a committee of twenty-five of the Ti-
tanic' s passengers, with Samuel Goldenberg a*
chairman, was given to the press. After detailing
briefly the facts of the wreck and giving app-oxi-
mately the number of persons on board, the num-
ber saved and the number lost, the statement con-
cluded:
"We feel it our duty to call the attention of the
public to what we consider the inadequate supply
of life saving appliances provided for on modern
passenger steamships and recommend that imme-
diate steps be taken to compel passenger steamers
to carry sufficient boats to accommodate the maxi-
mum number of people carried on board.
154
CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
"The following facts were observed and should
be considered in this connection:
"The insufficiency of lifeboats, rafts, etc.
"Lack of trained seamen to man the same (stok-
ers, stewards, etc., are not efficient boat handlers).
"Not enough officers to carry out emergency orders
on the bridge and superintend the launching and
control of lifeboats.
"Absence of searchlights.
"The board of trade rules allow for entirely too
many people in each boat to permit the same to be
properly handled.
"On the Titanic the boat deck was about seventy-
five feet above water and consequently the passen-
gers were required to embark before lowering the
boats, thus endangering the operation and prevent-
ing the taking on of the maximum, number the boats
would hold.
"Boats at all times should be properly equipped
with provisions, water, lamps, compasses, lights,
etc
"Life saving boat drills should be more frequent
and thoroughly carried out and officers should be
armed at boat drills.
"Great reduction should be made in speed in fog
and ice, as damage, if collision actually occurs, is
liable to be less.
"In conclusion we suggest that an international
conference be called to recommend the passage of
identical laws providing for the safety of all at
sea and we urge the United States government to
take the initiative as soon as possible."
SENATE INVESTIGATION.
April 18, the same day that the Carpathia arrived
in New York, the United States senate passed a
resolution directing the committee on commerce to
make an inquiry into the "causes leading to the
wreck of the White Star liner Titanic, with its at-
tendant loss of life, so shocking to the civilized
world." The committee was further directed to rec-
ommend such legislation as it might deem expedient.
The commerce committee accordingly appointed 1
the
following subcommittee to conduct the investigation:
William Alden Smith, Michigan, chairman; George
C. Perkins. California; Jonathan Bourne, Jr., Ore-
gon; Theodore E. Burton, Ohio; F. M. Simmons,
North Carolina; Francis G. Newlands, Nevada; Dun-
can U. Fletcher, Florida.
The committee examined eighty-two witnesses, of
whom fifty-three were British subjects. Among
others interrogated were J. Bruce Ismay, P. A. S.
Franklin, vice-president in America of the Inter
national Mercantile Marine company; the four sur-
viving officers of the Titanic, C. H. Lightoller, H.
J. Pitman, J. G. Boxhall and Harold G. Lowe,
and thirty-four members of the crew.
The sessions of the committee were held In Wash-
ington and in New York and the inquiry was so
searching and rigid as to evoke the criticism in
some of the London papers that it was brutal.
The examination of Mr. Ismay, in particular, was
pronounced too severe. The official report was made
to the senate May 28 by Chairman Smith, who
made a speech, in which he called attention to the
salient points brought out by the inquiry. He said
that the loss of the Titanic was due largely to
laxity of regulation and hasty inspection on tho
part of the British board of trade. On his motion
the senate passed a resolution that the thanks of
congress be extended to Capt. Arthur Henry Ros-
tron of the Carpathia and through him to the offi-
cers and crew of the vessel for promptly going to
the relief of the Titanic and heroically rescuing
the survivors, and that the president be authorized
to have made and presented to the captain a gold
medal, suitably inscribed, expressing the high esti-
mation in which congress held his services. This
resolution was subsequently adopted by the house.
The facts found by the senate committee were
substantially as given in the preceding account of
the wreck. In its report it recommended that not
fewer than four members of the crew, skilled in
handling boats, be assigned to each lifeboat, and
that all men so assigned be drilled in lowering and
rowing the boats not less than twice a month;
that passengers and crew be assigned to lifeboats
before sailing; that every passenger steamship car-
rying 100 or more passengers be equipped with two
searchlights; that a radiotelegraph operator be on
Outy at all times, day and night, and that there
be definite legislation to prevent interference by
amateurs with wireless telegrams; that the firing
of rockets at sea be prohibited except as a signal
of distress and that certain new structural require-
ments be insisted upon in the building of ocean
going passenger steamers. These requirements were
that ships carrying more than 100 passengers should
have a watertight skin inboard of the outside plat-
ing, extending not less than 10 per cent of the load
draft above the full load water line, either in the
form of an inner bottom or of longitudinal water-
tight bulkheads, and this construction should ex-
tend over not less tham two-thirds of the length
of the ship. Bulkheads should be so spaced that
any two adjacent compartments might be flooded
without destroying the flotability or stability of
the ship. Watertight transverse bulkheads should
extend from side to side of the ship, attaching to
the outside shell. The transverse bulkheads for-
ward and abaft the machinery spaces should be
continued watertight vertically to the uppermost
continuous structural deck. That deck should be
fitted watertight. Bulkheads within the limits of
the machinery spaces should extend not less than
25 per cent of the draft of the ship above the load
water line and should end in a watertight deck.
BRITISH INQUIRY.
The British board of trade also organized a court
of inquiry under the presidency of Lord Mersey.
Its investigation ended July 3, after the examina-
tion of ninety-eight witnesses. The court presented
its findings July 30. These were in brief:
That the colliskm with the iceberg was due to
the excessive speed at which the Titanic was nav-
igated.
That a proper watch was not kept.
That the ship's boats were properly lowered, but
the arrangements for manning them were insuffi-
cient.
That the Leyland liner Californian might have
reached the Titanic if she had attempted to do so.
That the track followed was reasonably safe with
proper vigilance.
That there was no discrimination against third
class passengers in the saving of life.
The court of inquiry exonerated J. Bruce Ismay,
chairman and managing director of the White Star
line, and Sir Cosmo Duff-Gordon, one of the pas-
sengers, from any charges of improper conduct.
More watertight compartments in seagoing ships,
the provision of lifeboats for all on board and more
efficient drills of the crew, as well as a better look-
out, were recommended.

RECOVERY OF BODIES.
Shortly after the sinking of the Titanic the cable
ship Mackay-Bennett was sent to the scene of the
disaster to recover the bodies of the victims, many
of whom had been seen floating in the water by
passing steamers. It searched an area of more
than thirty square miles and picked up 306 bodies.
Of these 115 were buried at sea and the remainder
brought to Halifax, N. S., April 30. Among the
dead who were identified and taken to their former
homes for burial were J. J. Astor, E. G. Crosby,
W. D. Douglas, Dr. W. S. Minahan, Frank D. Mil-
let and Isidor Straus. Every body picked up had
on a life belt.
More than $1,500,000 was raised in England and
the United States for the impoverished and helpless
survivors of the wreck and for needy relatives of
the dead. Of this amount about $2,000 was con-
tributed in Chicago.
DESCRIPTION OF THE TITANIC.
The Titanic was built by Harland & Wolff at
Belfast, Ireland. No restrictions as to cost were
placed on the builders. The vessel fully equipped
cost 1,500,000, or about $7,500,000. At the time of
the wreck it carried insurance of $5,000,000, the re-
maining risk being carried by the company's in-
surance fund. The ship was launched May 31, 1911,
and trial tests were made on Belfast lough April 1,
1912. The registered tonnage was 46,328 and the
displacement 66,000 tons. The length over all was
882 feet 6 inches and breadth 92 feet 6 inches.
The height from keel to boat deck was 97 feet 4
inches.
The vessel was supplied with everything in the
line of comforts and luxuries that could be sug-
gested, including an eighteen hole "deck golf"
course, tennis and handball courts, outdoor and in-
door gymnasiums, running track, photographic dark
room, lounging room, "palm court/' "veranda cafe"
and glass covered promenade. In addition to the
usual suite bathroom facilities it had Turkish and
electric baths and salt and fresh water swimming
pools. It was, in fact, a huge floating hotel of the
finest kind that money could produce.
REVOLUTION
Eloy Alfaro was proclaimed president of Ecuador
by the populace in January, 1906, after he had de-
feated the government troops at Quito. In October
of the same year he was elected provisional presi-
dent by the national convention and held office
until 1911. In that year Emilio Estrada ran for
the office, with Flavio Alfaro as an opponent, and
was elected by more than 100,000 votes. He re-
tained the presidency until Dec. 22, when he died.
On the 28th the troops of Gen. Pedro Montero,
stationed in Guayaquil, after riots in which many
persons were killed or injured, proclaimed him pres-
ident. The liberals favored the candidacy of Gen.
Leonidas Plaza, while some of the radicals sought
to give the office to Gen. Flavio Alfaro.
Severe fighting followed the Montero revolt
against the constitutional administration at Quito.
The rebels sustained a severe defeat Jan. 18 at
Yaguache, northeast of Guayaquil, when more
than 1,000 men were killed or wounded. The gov-
ernment troops were commanded by Gen. Julio
Andrade, while those from Guayaquil were under
Gen. Flavio Alfaro. The latter was wounded in
the battle and Gen. Eloy Alfaro succeeded him.
The Quito troops followed up their success and
Jan. 22, after a battle in which eighty men were
killed or woun-led, they captured the city of
IN ECUADOR.
Guayaquil. Gen. Leonidas Plaza, who commanded
the government troops in this battle, received the
surrender of Gens. Eloy Alfaro, Flavio Alfaro,
Ulpiano Paez, Manuel Serrano and Pedro Montero.
Gen. Medardo Alfaro, another rebel general, was
captured Jan. 25.
Gen. Montero was brought before a court-martial
on the evening of Jan. 25 and sentenced to sixteen
years' imprisonment In a penitentiary. When Gen.
Plaza announced the verdict crowds of angry peo-
ple rushed into the courtroom, riddled Montero
with bullets, dragged his body into the streets,
beheaded it and then cast head and trunk into a
fire which had been built. The other generals were
hastened to the Quito penitentiary, where they
were to be tried. Jan. 28 an infuriated mob suc-
ceeded in breaking into the prison in spite of a
double guard and lynched Gens. Floy Alfaro, Flavio
Alfaro, Medardo Alfaro, Dlpiano Paez and Manuel
Serrano.
March 5 Gen. Julio Andrade and a large party
of conservatives attacked the police barracks at
Quito, but were repulsed and Andrade was killed.
He was one of the noted men of the republic
and it was supposed that he and others had plot-
ted to seize the government.
FEENCH AUTOMOBILE BANDITS KILLED.
Paris and surrounding districts were terrorized in | it up with dynamite in the presence of 10,000 spec-
the winter and spring of 1911-1912 by a number of I tators. Dubois was found dead and Bonnot suffer-
organized bandits, who used an automobile in their
operations. Many murders and robberies were com-
mitted by them, but all efforts on the part of the
authorities to run them down failed until April 28,
1912, when the chief of the gang, Jules Bonnot.
and one of his lieutenants, Dubois, were tracked
to a garage in Choisy-le-Roi, six miles south of
Paris. Police and troops, under the direction of
M. Lepine, the chief of police, surrounded the
garage and after the exchange of many shots blew
STATES AND TERRITORIES IN THE UNION,
There are forty eight states in the union and three
territories, the latter including Hawaii, the Dis-
trict of Columbia and Alaska. The District of Co-
Inmbia is governed by three commissioners, ap-
pointed by the president of the United States un-
der laws passed directly by congress. Alaska has a
ing from several bullet wounds. He died on the
way to the city. Both he and Dubois were pro-
vided with poison for suicidal purposes, but neither
was able to use it. The affair attracted as much
attention as the "battle of London" did in Janu-
ary, 1911, when the police and military had a snec-
tacular fight with several desperadoes in the White-
chapel district. Bonnot was known as the "demon

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1913.
WILLIAM LOKIMER'S ELECTION AS SENATOR INVALID.
The right of William Lorimer, republican, of Chi-
cago, to hold his seat in the United States senate,
to which he was elected May 26, 1909, by a combi-
nation of democrats and republicans in the Illinois
legislature, was challenged in the upper house of
congress Jan. 9. 1911. Two resolutions were intro-
duced, both declaring his election illegal. Only one
was acted on, that offered by Senator Albert J.
Beveridge of Indiana, which was as follows:
"Resolved, That William Lorimer was not duly
and legally elected to a seat in the senate of the
United States by the legislature of Illinois."
Senator Beveridge, as a member of the committee
on privileges and elections, submitted a report dis-
senting from the views of the majority of the com-
mittee, which, in December, 1910, had declared that
the charges of bribery in connection with Mr. Lori-
mer's election were not sustained. [See The Daily
News Almanac and Year-Book for 1911, page 404.]
The Beveridge resolution came before the senate
for discussion and, after an acrimonious debate
lasting until March 1, 1911, was defeated by a vote
of 46 nays to 40 yeas. Thirty-five republicans and
eleven democrats voted in favor of Mr. Lorimer.
The action of the senate was resented and meet-
ings of protest were held in various parts of the
country. In the Illinois state senate a committee,
of which Douglas W. Helm of Metropolis was chair-
man, was appointed to inquire into the charges of
corruption in the 46th general assembly. This com-
mittee was informed by H. H. Kohlsaat, editor
of the Chicago Record-Herald, that he had been
told by Clarence S. Funk, general manager of
the International Harvester company, that a fund
of $100,000 had been raised by Edward Hines, lum-
berman, to secure the election of Mr. Lorimer as
United States senator. Mr. Funk said that Mr.
Hines had asked him for a contribution of $10,000.
to be sent to Edward Tilden, a packer.
In pursuance of the information obtained from
Mr. Funk, the committee asked Edward Tilden to
appear before the committee with certain books and
documents that might throw light upon the alleged
Lorimer fund. George M. Benedict and William C.
Cummings were asked to produce certain bank ac-
counts kept by Mr. Tilden at the time the fund
was supposed to have been collected. These men
refused to appear or to produce the documentary
proofs sought, whereupon the committee ordered
their arrest. Warrants were served upon them, but
they were immediately released upon writs of
habeas corpus issued by Judge Adelor Petit of the
Circuit court of Cook county, who, after a hearing,
denied the right of the senate or a committee
thereof to require the attendance of these witnesses
or the production of the proof demanded. In effect,
Judge Petit held that the committee had no power
or authority to take proof or to subpoana witnesses
because of the fact that the scope of the inquiry
under the resolution creating the committee in-
cluded not only members of the senate but of the
house as well, the senate thereby seeking to em-
bark upon an inquiry over which it had no juris-
diction.
Finding its further progress blocked, the commit-
tee concluded its examination of witnesses and
May 17 made a report to the senate, reciting the
foregoing and other facts. The essence of its find-
ing was expressed in the following words:
"Your committee has reached the conclusion that
the election of William Lorimer before the last
general assembly would not have occurred had it
not been for bribery and corruption."
May 18, by a vote of 39 to 10, the state senate
adopted a resolution to the effect that in its opin-
ion the election of Mr. Lorimer as senator was
brought about by bribery and corruption and that
the good name of the state and the welfare of the
nation demanded that a further investigation should
be made by the United States senate.
SECOND SENATE INVESTIGATION.
June 1. 1911, by a vote of forty-eight to twenty,
the United States senate adopted a resolution to
reopen the inquiry into Mr. Lorimer' s election and
the following subcommittee was named by the com-
mittee on privileges and elections to conduct the
investigation : Republicans Dillingham, Vermont,
chairman; Gamble, South Dakota; Jones, Washing-
ton; Kenyon, Iowa. Democrats Johnston, Alabama;
Kern, Indiana; Lea, Tennessee; Fletcher, Florida.
The examination of witnesses was begun June 20
in room 301 of the senate office building in Wash-
ington. Those who appeared before the committee
included, among others, Cyrus H. McCormick, pres-
ident of the International Harvester company; Hor-
man H. Kohlsaat, editor of the Chicago Record -
Herald; Clarence S. Funk, general manager of the
International Harvester company; Wirt H. Cook,
Edward Tilden, Edward Hines, Gov. Charles S. De-
neen, Christian F. Wiehe, Nelson W. Aldrich and
Boies Penrose. The testimony was substantially
the same as that given before the Illinois senate
committee, except that additional information was
given. John H. Marble and John J. Healy were
counsel for the committee, while Mr. Lorimer was
represented by Elbridge Hanecy and William J.
Hynes. The committee did not, as at the first hear-
ing, adhere to the strict rules of evidence, but per-
mitted great latitude in the investigation. The
hearing continued in Washington until Aug. 9, when
a recess was taken until Oct. 10. The committee
then met in the federal building in Chicago and
resumed the examination of witnesses. It adjourned
Nov. 22 and continued its work in Washington,
D. C., until Feb. 9, 1912, when the taking of tes-
timony was concluded. One hundred and eighty
witnesses had been examined and the hearings had
occupied 102 days. The most sensational feature was
the introduction of dictograph notes declared to
have been taken by James Sheridan, a stenographer,
while A. C. Bailey, a detective of the Burns
agency, was talking to Charles McGowan in a hotel
in Toronto, Canada. McGowan was a witness who
had testified in favor of the Lorimer-Hines side
before the committee and was alleged to have been
paid for it. The dictograph notes purported to
record his admission to Detective Bailey that this
charge was true. Milton W. Blumenberg, the offi-
cial stenographer of the investigating committee,
denounced the dictograph notes as having been
"faked" and was adjudged to be in contempt.
He was, however, not further punished.
March 28, 1912, the subcommittee adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions, the first offered by Senator
Gamble and the other by Senator Johnston:
"Resolved, That in the opinion of this committee
this investigation does not show that there were
used or employed In the election of William Lori-
mer to the senate of the United States from the
state of Illinois corrupt practices and methods."
"Resolved, That the testimony failed to show
that Senator Lorimer himself used any - corrupt
practices or means or had any knowledge that such
were used."
On the Gamble resolution the committee divided
five to three, those voting in favor of it being Sen-
ators :
Dillingham of Vermont, Rep., chairman.
Gamble of South Dakota, Rep.
Jones of Washington, Rep.
Johnston of Alabama, Dem.
Fletcher of Florida, Dem.
The three senators who voted against the resolu-
tion were:
Kenyon of Iowa, Rep.
Kern of Indiana, Dem.
Lea of Tennessee, Dem.
Senator Jones of Washington offered the follow-
ing resolution, which was also adopted:
"Resolved, That nothing has developed in or by
this investigation that justifies a reversal of the
solemn and deliberate judgment of the United
States senate, rendered during the last session of
the 61st congress, holding valid the election of Wil-
liam Lorimer as a senator of the United States."
The vote upon this resolution was: Yeas Dil-
lingham, Gamble, Jones, Johnston and Fletcher 5.
Nays Kenyon, Kern and Lea 3.
The following resolution offered by Senator Kern
was adopted by a vote of 3 (Kern, Kenyon and
Lea) to 0:
"That in the opinion of this committee there \vas
a fund distributed in the city of St. Louis on June
21, 1909, by Lee O'Neil Browne, and on July 15,
1909, by Robert E. Wilson, to certain members of
the Illinois legislature."

COMMITTEE REPORTS.
May 20 the committee submitted majority and
minority reports to the senate. The majority re-
port, signed by Senators Dillingham, Gamble, Jones,
Johnston and Fletcher, found Mr. Lorimer was not
elected corruptly and was entitled to his seat in
the senate; the minority report, signed by Senators
Kenyon, Kern and Lea, found that his election was
brought about by corrupt means and that he was
not elected corruptly and was entitled to his seat in
of the majority report is contained in the following
concluding paragraphs:
"The senate has once solemnly and deliberately
passed upon the charges made against him [Lori-
mer]. Its judgment, after a full investigation and
extensive argument, was in his favor and should
stand unless new and convincing evidence is pro-
duced establishing corruption in his election. This
rule is more liberal toward the senate and the peo-
ple than toward Mr. Lorimer, because if the judg-
ment had been against him he would have been
bound by it and no amount of proof showing the
injustice of the decision against him would secure
its reversal and his reinstatement as a member of
this body.
"Absolutely no new and substantial evidence has
been produced or discovered* on this reinvestigation
showing that he was elected by corruption, and we
believe that all the rules of law, judicial procedure
and justice require that the former judgment of the
senate should be held to be conclusive and final.
"There is absolutely no evidence in all the testi-
mony submitted intimating, suggesting or charging
that William Lorimer was personally guilty of any
corrupt practices in securing his election, or that
he had any knowledge of any such corrupt prac-
tices, or that he authorized any one to employ cor-
rupt practices in his election.
"We are convinced that no vote was secured for
him by bribery; that whatever money White,
Beckemeyer, Link, Holstlaw or any other person
received was not paid to him or them by any one
on Mr. Lorimer' s behalf or in consideration of or
to secure such vote or votes for him; that neither
Edward Hines nor any one else raised or contrib-
uted to a fund to be used to secure his election:
that his election was the logical result of existing
political conditions in the state of Illinois and was
free from any corrupt practice and therefore we
must find, and we do find, that William Lorimer's
election was not brought about or influenced by
corrupt methods and practices."
The minority report not only insisted that the
doctrine of res adjudicata had no application, but
declared :
1. That the evidence obtained established con-
clusively that at least ten of the votes cast for
Mr. Lorimer were corruptly cast, and it named also
five other legislators whose votes were sold. The
names of these men were:
Charles A. White. Robert E. Wilson.
H. J. C. Beckemeyer. W. O. Blair.
Michael Link. Thomas Tippit.
Joseph S. Clark. Henry L. Wheelan.
Henry A. Shepherd. John H. DeWolf.
Charles S. Luke. Cyril R. Jandus.
D. W. Holstlaw. John Broderick.
Lee O'Neil Browne.
2. That Senator Lorimer was equallv guilty and
responsible for the wrongdoing of 'Lee O'Neil
Browne and Edward D. Shurtleff.
3. That Edward Hines did participate corruptly
in Lorimer's election and that his character was
established as one "that looked upon everything
and everybody as being purchasable."
4. That the motive Mr. Hines and Senator Lorimer
attempted to ascribe as the reason for Funk's com-
mitting the crime of perjury was too far fetched
to be tenable and too ridiculous and absurd to
lessen the force of Funk's testimony.
5. That Burgess was an absolutely disinterested
witness and that the minority believed both his
testimony and that of Funk.
On the same day these reports were submitted
(May 20) Senator Luke Lea of Tennessee offered
the following resolution:
"Resolved, That corrupt methods and practices
were employed in the election of William Lorimer
to the senate of the United States from the state
of Illinois, and that his election therefore was
ELECTION FOUND INVALID.
Debate was begun on the resolution June 4 by
Senator Kern of Indiana, who strongly urged its
adoption. Speeches for and against were made by
other members of the senate, one of Mr. Lorimer's
chief defenders being Senator Wesley L. Jones of
Washington, who previously had voted against him.
An agreement was reached to take a vote July 6.
but as the arguments had not then been concluded
the legislative day was continued until July 14, on
which day Mr. Lorimer concluded a three days'
speech on his behalf. The greater part of his re-
marks was devoted to a bitter arraignment of the
individuals and newspapers opposing him.
By a vote of 55 to 28 the United States senate
on the afternoon of July 14, 1912, adopted the Lea
resolution and Mr. Lorimer was retired to private
life. The final vote was as follows:
AGAINST LORIMER, 55.

STEPHENSON INVESTIGATION,
Aug. 15, 1911, the United States senate adopted
the following resolution reported from the commit
tee on privileges and elections:
"That the senate committee on privileges and
elections, or any subcommittee thereof, be author-
ized and directed to investigate certain charges
preferred by the legislature of Wisconsin against
Isaac Stephenson, a senator of the United States
from the state of Wisconsin, and to report to the
senate whether in the election of said Isaac Ste-
phenson as a senator of the United States from the
said slate of Wisconsin there were used or em-
ployed corrupt methods or practices; that said com-
mittee or subcommittee be authorized to sit dur-
ing the recess of the senate, to hold its session at
such place or places as it shall deem most con-
venient for the purposes of the investigation, to
employ stenographers, to send for persons and
papers and to administer oaths; and that the ex-
penses of the inquiry shall be paid from the con-
tingent fund of the senate upon vouchers to be
approved by the chairman of the committee or
chairman of the subcommittee."
Senators Heyburn, Sutherland, Pomerene, Bradley
and Paynter were appointed a special committee to
conduct the investigition, which began in Milwau-
kee, Wis., Oct. 2 and continued until Nov. 1. Sen-
ator Stephenson testified that he had spent $107 793
in the primary campaign of 1908 to secure the nom-
ination. He said he had not handled the money
himseir, but had given most of it to his campaign
manager, E. A. Edmonds, to use as he saw fit.
He denied that any of the money had been cor-
ruptly used to secure his nomination. Mr. Edmonds
declared that tfce money was spent legitimately
for brass bands, lithographs, buttons, advertising
and other customary campaign expenses.
Jan. 18, 1912, the Heyburn subcommittee agreed
upon a report holding that the charges of corrup-
tion and bribery made against Senator Stephenson
had not been proved and exonerated him from any
attempt to corrupt the legislature of Wisconsin.
The subcommittee's report was then laid before
the full committee on privileges and elections
and, after long consideration, was approved Feb.
10 by a vote of 8 to 5. The republicans voting for
the report were Dillingham, Bradley, Gamble, Hey-
burn and Sutherland, and the democrats support-
ing it were Johnston, Fletcher and Pomerene.
Those who voted against the report were Clapp,
Jones and Kenyon, republicans, and Kern and Lea,
democrats.
The matter was taken up by the senate March 25,
when a speech was made by Senator Reed of Mis-
souri against Senator Stephenson's retention of
his seat. The following day a resolution offered
by Senator Jones of Washington declaring the seat
vacant was defeated by a vote of 29 to 27. Many
senators were paired and others were absent.
March 27 the case came up for final disposition and
the committee's resolution declaring Senator
fetephenson to have been properly elected was
passed by a vote of 40 to 34. The ballot was non-
partisan, twelve democrats voting in favor of Mr.
Steohenson and sixteen republicans against him.
The vote was as follows:

BATTLE SHIP MAINE
The wreck of the battle ship Maine, sunk by an
explosion in the harbor of Havana, Cuba, on the night
of Feb. 15, 1898, wag raised in 1911-1912 and was
towed out to the open sea March 16, 1912, and
sunk. The hulk was draped with roses, American
flags and evergreen. Preceded by the cruisers Bir-
mingham and North Carolina and followed by the
vessels of the Cuban navy, together with hundreds
of smaller craft, making a line two miles long,
the historic craft was pulled out into the gulf
several miles from shore. A hollow square was
formed by the escorting vessels and then Gen. Wil-
liam H. Bixbv and Mai. H. B. Ferguson went
aboard the hulk with a number of machinists and
ooened the sea doors in the hull. Ten minutes
later the wreck sank to its last resting place in
BURIED IN THE SEA,
deeo water and. after the firing of a national
salute, the ceremony was ended. Previous to the
sinking of the Maine funeral services for sixteen
of the dead found in the wreckage were held in
Havana. The bodies were conveyed to the United
States on the cruiser North Carolina and, with
fifty-eight others oreviouslv interred at Havana,
were buried in Arlington cemetery near Wash-
ington. D. C.. March 23. with national honors,
President Taft makinsr the orincinal address.
It was the opinion of the experts who examined
the uncovered hull of the Maine in the latter part
of 1911 that the vessel was sunk by an exterior
explosion. The total number of lives lost by the
disaster was 266.
RESIGNATION OF DR. HARVEY W. WILEY.
Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry in the agricultural department at Wash-
ington. D. C., resigned his ofllce March 15, 1912,
owing to long continued friction with Solicitor
George P. McCabe and Dr. Frederick Dunlap,
associate chemist, respecting the enforcement of
the nure food law. Dr. Wilev H aimed that the
president and the secretary of agriculture should
have relieved him from the supervision of these
men, who had hampered him in the performance
of his duties, with the result that one by one the
fundamental principles of the pure food law had
been paralyzed, that interests engaged in the man-
ufacture of misbranded and adulterated foods and
drugs had escaped punishment and that the activi-
ties of the bureau of chemistry had been restricted.
Both President Taft and Secretary Wilson accepted
the resignation with expressions of regret.

Jan. 25, 1910, Judge Kenesaw M. Landis of the
United States District court in Chicago impaneled
a grand jury to Investigate the so-called "beef
combine" among the meat packers. Witnesses
were summoned and the inquiry continued until
March 21. when an indictment was returned charg-
ing the National Packing company and -ten of its
subsidiary corporations with conspiracy in viola-
tion of the Sherman antitrust law. On the same
elate a bill in equity was filed by District Attor-
ney Edwin W. Sims in the United States Circuit
court, Chicago, against the National Packing com-
pany and subsidiary concerns and against its di-
rectors. It charged the packers with criminal con-
spiracy in fixing the prices of live stock and
dressed meat and demanded the dissolution of the
National Packing company and its allied concerns.
It also asked that the individual defendants and
their agents be prohibited from exercising any con-
trol over the corporations involved except such as
might be necessary to wind up their affairs.
Upon a demurrer by counsel for the National
Packing company and subsidiary concerns Judge
Kenesaw M. Landis decided, June 23, that the in-
dictment was invalid because it did not charge
that during the last three years the defendants
had been engaged in interstate commerce. He
therefore sustained the demurrer, but at the same
time ordered a special grand jury to make a new
investigation. This was concluded Sept. 12, when
toe following ten packers were indicted as individ-
uals: J. Ogden Armour, Louis F. Swift, toward
Morris, Edward Tilden, Arthur Meeker. Edward F.
Swift, Charles H. Swift, Louis H. Heyman, Thomas
J. Connors, Francis A. Fowler. Three indictments
were returned against each defendant, reciting the
violations of the Sherman antitrust law.
Counsel for the packers moved to quash the In-
dictments in accordance with the immunity ruling
of Judge Humphrey in 1906. This motion was over-
ruled by Judge George A. Carpenter in the United
States District court March 22, 1911, in a decision
sustaining the indictments. On a demurrer that un-
der the Sherman antitrust laws as they stand on
the statute books the defendants could not be prose-
cuted criminally, .Judge Carpenter decided May 11
that this contention was invalid. He therefore
overruled the demurrer.
Next the defendants asked for a rehearing and
when their petition was denied requested a bill of
particulars. This also was refused and the trial
was set for Nov. 20. Five days before that time
they surrendered and were released on a habeas
corpus application writ to test the validity of the
Sherman act. The application was heard by Judge
C. C. Kohlsaat and denied. Thereupon the packers
asked for a stay to appeal to the United States
Supreme court to overrule Judge Kohlsaat's de-
cision. They were given until Nov. 27 and the
appeal was made, but the court declined to grant
a .stay and finally, Dec. 6, 1911, the case came to
trial. The hearing continued through December,
January and February to March 25, 1912, when the
case went to the jury. Three ballots were taken.
The first was eight to four for acquittal, the sec-
ond ten to two for acquittal and the third was the
verdict for acquittal.
The occupancy of positions as directors in the
National Packing company by the leading oflBcials
of the three large companies formed the basis of
the whole prosecution and one of the first results
of the suit was the withdrawal from the National
of all except Edward Tilden.

CHICAGO DAILY NEWS ALMANAC AND YEAB-BOOK FOR 1913.
TREATY WITH RUSSIA ABROGATED,
By instructions which President Taft caused the
secretary of state to transmit to the American
ambassador at St. Petersburg Dec. 15, 1911, there
was given to the Russian government under date
of Dec. 17, 1911, official notification on behalf of
this government of intention to terminate the oper-
ation of the treaty of commerce and navigation of
Dec. 18, 1832, between the United States and Rus-
sia upon the expiration of the year beginning Jan.
1, 1912. The reason for the abrogation of the treaty
was given in a note from the American ambassa-
dor to the Russian minister of foreign affairs as
follows :
"Under instructions from my government and
in pursuance of the conversations held by the sec-
retary of state with the Russian ambassador at
Washington, I have now the honor to give to the
imperial Russian government, on behalf of the
United States, the official notification contemplated
by article 12 of the treaty of 1832, whereby the
operation of the said treaty will terminate in ac-
cordance with its terms on Jan. 1, 1913. Your ex-
cellency will recall that pourparlers between the
two governments during the last three years have
fully recognized the fact that this ancient treaty,
as is quite natural, is no longer fully responsive
in various respects to the needs of the political
and material relations of the two countries, which
grow constantly more important. The treaty has
also given rise, from time to time, to certain con-
troversies equally regretted by both governments.
In conveying the present formal notification to
your excellency I am instructed to express the
desire of my government, meanwhile, to renew
the effort to negotiate a modern treaty of friend-
ship, commerce and navigation upon bases more
perfectly responsive to the interests of both gov-
ernments. I am directed by the president, at the
same time, to emphasize the great value attached
by the government of the United States to the
historic relations between the two countries, and
the desire of my government to spare no effort to
make the outcome of the proposed negotiations
contribute still further to the strength and cor-
diality of these relations."
This action was communicated by President Taft
to the senate Dec. 18, with a view to its ratifica-
tion. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts thereupon
introduced a resolution reciting the facts, substan-
tially as in the official note above quoted, and
ratifying the action taken by the president. The
resolution was passed unanimously by the senate
Dec. 19 and was accepted without opposition by
the house, which on Dec. 13 had passed the so-
called Sulzer resolution, charging Russia with hav-
ing violated the treaty by refusing to honor Amer-
ican, passports, duly issued to American citizens, on
account of race and religion. The reference, of
course, was to the fact that Russia had declined
to recognize passports to persons of the Jewish
race and religion. The Lodge resolution, which
was couched in correct diplomatic language, was
preferred by both houses and was signed by Pres-
ident Taft Dec. 21.
At a mass meeting of the nationalist party in
St. Petersburg. Russia, Feb. 22, 1912, the abroga-
tion of the treaty by the United States was de-
nounced and resolutions were adopted for the total
exclusion from Russia of Americans of Jewttsh
faith and for tariff reprisals.
REICHSTAG ELECTIONS IN GERMANY.
Members of the German reichstag were elected
Jan. 13, 1912, and in districts where the results
were indecisive reballotings occurred Jan. 20 and 25.
It was apparent from the start that there would
be a swing toward socialism on account of dissatis-
faction with the government's foreign policy and
its failure to provide for franchise reform, but the
extent of the movement was not generally realized
until the returns from the last supplementary elec-
tions had been tabulated. It was then found that
the socialists led all the other parties and groups
in strength by a comfortable margin and that the
old conservative-center alliance had been practi-
cally shorn of its power. Tire party alignment in
the new reichstag, as the result of the elections,
was as follows:
Socialists 110
Centrists 93
Conservatives
43
Free conservatives.... 14
National liberals 45
Lorraines 2
Guelphs 5
Danes 1
Bavarian peasants 2
German peasants 2
Independent 3
Total .. 397
Radicals 41
Poles 18
Anti-Semites 13
Alsatians
Dr. Peter Spahn, leader of the clerical center
party, was elected president of the reichstag Feb.
9 and Dr. Hermann S. Paasche, national liberal
leader, second vice-president, but both resigned
rather than serve with Phillip Scheidemann, so-
cialist, who was elected first vice-president. Jo-
hannes Kaempf, radical deputy for central Berlin,
was subsequently elected president and Heinrich
Dove, also a radical, second vice-president.

WHAT TRAVELERS MAY BRING TO AMERICA.
[Treasury department's "Notice to Passengers," March 14, 1911.]
Paragraph 709, appearing in the free list of the
present tariff act. governing passengers' baggage,
is as follows:
"Wearing epparel, articles of personal adornment,
toilet articles and similar personal effects of per-
sons arriving in the United States; but this ex-
emption shall only Include such articles as ac-
tually accompany and are in the use of, and as
are necessary and appropriate for the wear and
use of such persons, for the immediate purposes of
the journey and present comfort and convenience,
and shall not be held to apply to merchandise or
articles intended for other persons or for sale;
provided, that in case of residents of the United
States, returning from abroad, all wearing ap-
parel and other personal effects taken by them out
of the United States to foreign countries shall be
admitted free of duty, without regard to their
value, upon their identity being established, under
appropriate rules and regulations to be prescribed
by the secretary of the treasury, but no more
than $100 in value of articles purchased abroad
by such residents of the United States shall be
admitted freer of duty upon their return."
RESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES.
Residents of the United States must declare all
articles which have been obtained abroad by pur-
chase or otherwise, whether used or unused, and
whether on their persons, in their clothing, or in
their baggage. The foreign value of each article,
stated in United States money, must also be de-
clared.
Articles taken from the United States and remod-
eled, repaired or improved abroad must be declared
ind the cost of such remodeling, repairing or im-
proving must be separately stated.
The following articles are dutiable:
Household effects, including books, pictures, fur-
niture, tableware, table linen, bed linen and other
similar articles, unless used abroad by the owner
for a period of a year or more.
Goods in the piece.
Articles of any nature intended for sale or for
other persons.
The following articles are free if under $100 in
value and if necessary for comfort and convenience
for the purposes of the journey and not for sale nor
for other persons:
Clothing.
Toilet articles, such as combs, brushes, soaps,
cosmetics, shaving and manicure sets, etc.
Personal adorn nents, jewelry, etc.
Similar personal effects, which may include cam-
eras, canes, fishing tackle, glasses (field, opera,
marine), golf sticks, guns, musical instruments,
parasols, photographs, s.nokers' articles, steamer
rugs and shawls, toys, trunks, valises, etc.
Clothing and other personal effects taken out of
the United States by the passenger if not increased
in value or improved in condition while abroad. If
increased in valae or improved in condition, they
are dutiable on tl-e cost of the repairs.
The above lists of articles which are dutiable and
nondurable are stated for the assistance of passen-
gers and are not exhaustive. All articles are duti-
able unless specifically exempted by law.
Pack in one trunk, if practicable, all dutiable
articles.
Receipted bills for foreign purchases should be
presented whenever possible.
Use does not exempt from duty wearing apparel
or other articles obtained abroad, but such articles
will be appraised at their value in the condition as
imported, due allowance being made for deprecia-
tion through wear and use.
NONRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES.
Nonresidents of th? United States are entitled
to bring in free of fluty, without regard to the $100
exemption, snch arioles as are in the nature of
wearing apparel, articles of personal adornment,
toilet articles and similar personal effects, neces-
sary and appropriate for their wear and use for the
purposes of the journey and present comfort and
convenience and which are not intended for other
persons or for sale.
Citizens of the United States or persons who
ha*e at any time resided in this country shall be
deemed to be residents of the United States un-
less they shall have abandoned their residence in
this country and acquired an actual bona tide resi-
dence in a foreign country.
Such citizens or former residents who desire the
privileges granted by law to nonresidents must
show to the satisfaction of the collector's repre-
sentative on the pier, subject to the collector's ap-
proval, that they have given up their residence in
the United States and that they have become boua
fide residents of a foreign country.
The residence of a wife follows that of the hus-
band, and the residence of a minor child follows
that of ltd parents.
GOODS OTHER THAN PERSONAL EFFECTS.
Household effects of persons or families from
foreign countries will be admitted free of duty only
if actually used abroad by them not less than one
year, and if not intended for any other person, nor
for sale. Such effects should be declared whether
the passenger be a resident or a nonresident of the
United States.
Articles intended for use in business or for other
persons, theatrical apparel, properties and scen-
eries, must be declared by passengers, whether res-
idents or nonresidents.
CIGARS AND CIGARETTES.
All cigars and cigarettes must be declared. Each
passenger over IS years of age may bring in free of
duty 50 cigars or ?00 cigarettes if for the bona fide
use of such passenger. Such cigars and cigarettes
will be in addition to the articles included within
the $100 exemption.
BAGGAGE DECLARATIONS.
The law provides that every person entering the
United States shall make a declaration and entry
of his or her personal baggage. The law further
requires that the values of articles shall be de-
termined by customs officers, irrespective of the
statements of passengers relative thereto.
It will thus be seen that there is no discourtesy
in the requirement that both a declaration and an
independent appraisal shall be made. Taken to-
gether, these requirements place the passenger *n
the same position as any other importer of mer-
chandise.
Passengers should observe that on the sheet given
them there are two forms of declarations; the one
printed in black is for residents of the United
States; the one in red, for nonresidents.
The exact number of pieces of baggage, includ-
ing all trunks, valises, boxes, packages and hand
bags of any description accompanying the passen-
ger, must be stated in the declaration.
The senior member of a family, present as a
passenger, may make declaration for the entire
family.
Ladies traveling alone should state that fact in
their declarations in order that an expeditious ex-
amination of their baggage may be made.
When the declaration is prepared and signed, the
coupon at the bottom of the form must be detached
and retained by the passenger, and the form given
to the officer of the ship designated to receive the
same. A declaration -spoiled in its preparation must
not be destroyed, but turned over to the purser,

CONTESTED VALUATION.
Passengers dissatisfied with values placed upon
dutiable articles by the customs officers on the pier
may demand a re-examination, but application

there in charge. If for any reason this course is
impracticable, the packages containing the articles
should be left in customs custody and application
for re-appraisement made to the collector of cus-
toms, in writing, within ten days after the original
appraisement. No request for reappraisement can
be entertained after the articles have been removed
from customs custody.

any examination of the baggage has been made.
SEALSKIN GARMENTS.

expressly forbids the importation into the United
States of garments made in whole or in part of the
skins of seals taken in the waters of the Pacific
ocean; and unless the owner is able to establish
by competent evidence and to the satisfaction of
the collector that the garments are not prohibited,

STRIKE OF BRITISH COAL MINERS.
More than 800,000 coal miners in England, Wales
and Scotland went on a strike March 1, 1912, which
continued until the first week in April, involving
heavy financial losses not only to the employers
and men directly involved, but to thousands of
others. The poor in the large centers of popula-
tion, as well as in the mining districts, suffered
severely because of the scarcity and high prices
of provisions and the lack of employment. Many
factories were compelled to shut down and the
railroads, in order to save coal, cut their service
to the lowest possible limit. March 4 it was an-
nounced that 2,223 freight and passenger trains had
been discontinued and more were taken off later.
The strike was determined upon by the miners'
federation in January and efforts were made by
the government to bring about an agreement be-
tween the employers and the men then, but with-
out avail. The miners demanded the establishment
of a minimum scale of wages in each district,
ranging all the way from 4 shillings 11 pence
($1.18) in Somersetshire and Bristol to 7 shillings
6 pence ($1.80) in Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire and
South Wales. The employers refused to consider
the proposition. Afterward the miners said they
would accept a general minimum of 5 shillings
($1.20) for men and 2 shillings (48 cents) for boys.
The government took the position that there were
cases in which underground employes could not
earn a minimum wage, from causes over which
they had no control; that the power to earn such
a wage should be secured by arrangements suitable
to the special circumstances in each district, and
announced that it was prepared to confer with the
parties as to the best method of giving effect to
this conclusion by means of district conferences
between the parties, a representative appointed
by the government being present.
The government's views were enacted into law
March 25-26 when the so-called minimum wage bill
was passed by the house of commons and house of
lords. Labor and radical members brought strong
pressure to bear to insert the 5 and 2 shilling min-
imum, but the government refused to sanction it.
While the miners were not satisfied with the law
their leaders advised them to accept it and they
did so. By April 8 most of the collieries were in
full operation. The sole result of the strike from
the standpoint of the men was the recognition in
law of the minimum wage principle.
No exact statistics are available to show the to-
tal amount of unemployment caused by the coal
strike, but the following figures were given by the
London Times as approximately correct March 22:
Miners on strike 849,800
Surface men locked out 203,700
In other industries 497,160
Total 1,550,660
It was estimated that the strike occasioned the
loss of 11,870,000 ($59,350,000) in wages alone.
Sympathetic strikes were attempted by the coal
miners of Germany and France, but these proved
unsuccessful. In the Westphalian coal field some
175,000 men went out March 11, but as an equal
number remained at work the demonstration proved
a fizzle. Military preparations to preserve order
and guard the mines had much to do with the re-
sult, according to general reports.
METHODIST GENERAL CONFERENCE.
The twenty-fifth quadrennial general conference
of the Methodist Episcopal church was held in
Minneapolis, Minn., May 1 to May 29, 1912. Much
important business was transacted, including the
election of eight bishops, two missionary bishops,
editors of church publications, general superintend-
ents, secretaries of tne principal church organiza-
tions and publishing agents. It retired to the
superannuate relation Bishops Warren. Moore and
Neely, and accepted the resignation of Missionary
Bishop William F. Oldham, that he might take
the post of secretary of the foreign missionary so-
ciety. The conference fixed an age limit for the
retirement of bishops, the new rule to go into
effect at the conference in 1916. The general con-
ference may retire a bishop at any time and for
any sufficient cause, but he must retire at the
conference nearest his 73d birthday anniversary.
The arrangement is such that a bishop may not
reach the age limit until he Is 75 or he may reach
it when he is only 71. A bishop may be retired
at the age of 70 if he gives notice of his desire to
do so.
The bishops elected were Homer C. Stuntz, Theo-
dore S. Henderson, William O. Shepard, Naphtali
Luccock, Francis J. McConnell, Frederick DeLand
Leete, Richard Joseph Cooke. Wilbur P. Thirkield,
John W. Robinson and William P. Eveland. The
conference refused to rescind or change the dis-
ciplinary paragraph on dancing and other worldly
amusements and it adopted a resolution that no
man should be elected to a conference office who
used tobacco in any form. It provided for the ob-
servance of the sesquicentennial of American meth-
odism and ordered that the second Sunday in May
of each year be observed as "Mothers' day."
The conference created episcopal residences at
Kansas City, Kas., Atlanta, Ga., and Helena, Mont.

COPYRIGHT LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES.
Approved March 4, 1909.
The act to amend and consolidate the acts re-
specting copyright, in force July 1, 1909, provides
that any person entitled thereto, upon complying
with the provisions of the law, shall have the ex-
clusive right (a) to print, reprint, publish, copy
and vend the copyrighted work; (b) to translate the
copyrighted work or make any other version of it
if it be a literary work; to dramatize it if it be a
nondramatic work; to convert it into a novel or
other nondramatic work if it be a drama; to ar-
range or adapt it if it be a musical work; to fin-
ish it if It be a model or design for a work of art;
(c) to deliver or authorize the delivery of the
copyrighted work if it be a lecture, sermon, ad-
dress or similar production; (d) to perform the
copyrighted work publicly if it be a drama or, if
it be a dramatic work and not reproduced in
copies for sale, to vend the manuscript or any rec-
ord thereof; to make or to procure the making of
any transcription or record thereof by which it
may in any manner be exhibited, performed or
produced, and to exhibit, perform or produce it
IB any manner whatsoever; (e) to perform the
copyrighted work publicly for profit if it be a mu-
sical composition and for the purpose of public
performance for profit and to make any arrange-
ment or setting of it in any system of notation or
any form of record in which the thought of an
author may be read or reproduced.
So far as it secures copyright controlling the
parts of instruments serving to reproduce mechan-
ically the musical work the law includes only com-
positions published after the act went into effect;
it does not include the works of a foreign author
or composer unless the country of which he is a
citizen or subject grants similar rights to Amer-
ican citizens. Whenever the owner of a musical
copyright has used or permitted the use of the
copyrighted work upon the part of instruments
serving to reproduce mechanically the musical
work, any other person may make a similar use of
the work upon the payment to the owner of a roy-
alty of 2 cents on each such part manufactured.
The reproduction or rendition of a musical com-
position by or upon coin-operated machines shall
not be deemed a public performance for profit un-
less a fee is charged for admission to the place
where the reproduction occurs.
The works for which copyright may be secured
include all the writings of an author.
The application for registration shall specify to
which of the following classes the work in which
copyright Is claimed belongs:
(a) Books, including composite and cyclopedic
works, directories, gazetteers and other compila-
tions.
(b) Periodicals, Including newspapers.
(c) Lectures, sermons, addresses, prepared for
oral delivery.
(d) Dramatic or dramatic-musical compositions.
(e) Musical compositions.
(f) Maps.
(g) Works of art; models or designs for works
of art.
(h) Reproductions of a work of art.
(I) Drawings or plastic works of a scientific or
technical character,
(j) Photographs.
Prints and pictorial illustrations,
hese specifications do not, however, limit the
subject matter of copyright as defined in the law
nor does any error in classification invalidate the
copyright protection secured.
Copyright extends to the work of a foreign author
or proprietor only in case he is domiciled in the
United States at the time of the first publication
of his work or if the country of which he is a citi-
zen grants similar copyright protection to citizens
of the United States.
Any person entitled thereto by the law may se-
cure copyright for his work by publication thereof
with the notice of copyright required by the act,
and such notice shall be affixed to each copy pub-
lished or offered for sale In the United States.
Such person may obtain registration of his claim
to copyright by complying with the provisions of
the act, including the deposit of copies, whereupon
the register of copyrights shall issue to him a cer-
tificate as provided for in the law. Copyright may
also be had of the works of an author of which
copies are not reproduced for sale by the deposit
with claim of copyright of one complete copy, if it
be a lecture or similar production, or a dramatic
or musical composition; of a photographic print If
it be a photograph, or of a photograph or other
identifying reproduction thereof if it be a work of
art or a plastic work or drawing.
After copyright has been secured there must be
deposited in the copyright office in Washington,
D. C., two complete copies of the best edition
thereof, which copies, if the work be a book or pe-
riodical, shall have been produced in accordance
with the manufacturing provisions of the act, or If
such work be a contribution to a periodical for
which contribution special registration is requested
one copy of the issue or issues containing such
contribution. Failure to deposit the copies within
a given time after notice from the register of
copyrights makes the proprietor of the copyright
liable to a fine of $100 and twice the retail price
of the work, and the copyright becomes void.
The text of all books and periodicals specified ic
paragraphs (a) and (b) above, except the original
text of a book of foreign origin in a language
other than English, must in order to secure pro-
tection be printed from type set within the limits
of the United States, either by hand, machinery or
other process, and the printing of the text and the
binding of the books must also be done within the
United States. An affidavit of such manufacture Is
required.
The notice of copyright required consists either
of the word "copyright" or the abbreviation
"copr.," accompanied by the name of the copyright
proprietor, and if the work be a printed literary,
musical or dramatic work, the notice must also in-
clude the year in which the copyright was secored
by publication. In the case, however, of copies of
works specified in paragraphs (f) to (k) inclusive
(given above) the notice may consist of the letter
C inclosed within a circle, accompanied by the ini-
tials, monogram, mark or symbol of the copyright
proprietor, provided his name appears elsewhere on
the copies. In the case of a book or other printed
publication the notice shall be applied on the title
page or on the page immediately following, or if a
periodical either upon the title page or upon the
first page of text of each separate number or un-
der the title heading; or if a musical work upon its
title page or the first page of music.
Where the copyright proprietor has sought to
comply with the law with respect to notice, the
omission of such notice by mistake from a particu-
lar copy or copies shall not invalidate the copy-
right or prevent recovery for infringement against
any person who, after actual notice of the copy-
right, begins an undertaking to infringe it, but
shall prevent the recovery of damages against an
innocent infringer who has been misled by the
omission of the notice.
In the case of a book in English published abroad
before publication in this country, the deposit in
the copyright office within thirty days of one copy
of the foreign edition, with a request for the res-
ervation of the copyright, secures for the author
or owner an ad interim copyright for thirty day*
after such deposit is made.
The copyright secured by the act endures for
twenty-eight years from the date of the first publi-
cation. In the case of any posthumous work, peri-
odical, encyclopedic or other composite work upon
which the copyright was originally secured by the
proprietor thereof, or of any work copyrighted by a
corporate body, or by an employer for whom such
work is made for hire, the proprietor of such copy-
right shall be entitled to a renewal of the copy-
right in such work for the further term of twenty-
eight years when application for such renewal shall
have been made within one year prior to the ex-
piration of the original term. In the case of any
other copyrighted work, including a contribution by
an individual author to a periodical or to a cyclo-
pedic or other composite work when such contribu-
tion has been separately copyrighted, the author of
such work, if living, or the heirs, executors or
next of kin, if the author be dead, shall be en-
164

ars
titled to a renewal of the copyright for a further
term of twenty-eight years. In default of such ap-
plication for renewal the copyright in any work
shall end at the expiration of twenty-eight years.
If any person shall infringe the copyright in any
work protected under the copyright laws of the
United States, such person shall be liable:
(a) To an injunction restraining such infringe-
ment.
(b) To pay to the copyright proprietor such dam-
ages as the copyright proprietor may have suffered
due to the infringement, as well as all the profits
which the infringer shall hare made from such in-
fringement, and in proving profits the plaintiff
shall be required to prove sales only and the de-
fendant shall be required to prove every element
of cost which he claims, or in lieu of actual dam-
ages or profits such damages as to the court shall
>ear to be just, and in assessing such damages
court may, in its discretion, allow the amounts
as hereinafter stated (in numbered paragraphs), but
in the case of a newspaper reproduction of a copy-
righted photograph such damages shall not exceed
the sum of $200 nor be less than $50, and such dam-
ages shall in no other case exceed the sum of $250
and shall not be regarded as a penalty:
1. In the case of a painting, statue or sculpture,
$10 for every infringing copy made or sold by or
found in the possession of the infringer or his
agents or employes;
2. In the case of any work enumerated in the list
(given above) of works for which copyright may be
asked, except a painting, statue or sculpture, $1 for
every infringing copy.
3. In the case of a lecture, sermon or address,
$50 for every infringing delivery.
4. In the case of dramatfc or dramatico-musical
or a choral or orchestral composition, $100 for the
first and $50 for every subsequent infringing per-
formance; in the case of other musical composi-
tions, $10 for every infringing performance.
(c) To deliver up on oath all articles alleged to
infringe a copyright.
(d) To deliver up on oath for destruction all the
Infringing copies or devices, as well as all plates,
molds, matrices or other means for making such in-
fringing copies, as the court may order.
(e) Whenever the owner of a musical copyright
has used or permitted the use of the copyrighted
work upon the parts of musical instruments serv-
ing to reproduce mechanically the musical work,
then in case of infringement by the unauthorized
manufacture, use or sale of interchangeable parts,
such as disks, rolls, bands or cylinders for use in
mechanical music-producing machines, no criminal
action shall be brought, but in a civil action an
Injunction may be granted upon such terms as the
court may impose and the plaintiff shall be en-
titled to recover in lieu of profits and damages a
royalty as provided in the act.
Any person who shall willfully and for profit In-
fringe any c
infringement
meanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be pun
ished by imprisonment for not exceeding one year
or by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than
$1,000, or both, in the discretion of the court. It is
provided, however, that nothing in the act shall
prevent the performance of religious or secular
works, such as oratorios, cantatas, masses or octavo
choruses by public schools, church choirs or vocal
societies, provided the performance is for chari-
table or educational purposes and not for profit.
Any person who shall fraudulently place a copy-
right notice upon any uncopyrighted article, or
shall fraudulently remove or alter the notice upon
any copyrighted article, shall be deemed guilty of
a misdemeanor and shall be subject to a fine of
not less than $100 nor more than $1,000. Any per-
son who shall knowingly sell or issue any article
bearing a notice of United States copyright which
has not been copyrighted in this country, or who
shall knowingly import any article bearing such
notice, shall be liable to a fine of $100.
During the existence of the American copyright

cordance with the manufacturing provisions of the
copyright law, or of any plates of the same not
made from type set in this country, or any copies

ement, shall be deemed guilty of a misde-
r, and upon conviction thereof shall be pun-

th Generai l&uies The fundamental rules governing
appointments to government positions are found in
the civil-service act itself. Based upon these are
many other regulations formulated by the commis-
sion and promulgated by the president from time
to time as new contingencies arise. The present
rules were approved March 20. 1903. and went into
effect April 15, 1903. In a general way they re-
quire that there must be free, open examinations
of applicants for positions in the public service;

highest in the examinations ; that appointments to
the service in Washington shall be apportioned
among the states and territories according to popu-
lation ; that there shall be a period (six months)
of probation before any absolute appointment is
made; that no person in the public service is for
that reason obliged to contribute to any political
fund or is subject to dismissal for refusing to so
contribute; that no person in the public service
has any right to use his official authority or influ-
ence to coerce the political action of any person.
Applicants for positions shall not be questioned as
to their political or religious beliefs and no dis-
crimination shall be exercised against or in favor
of any applicant or employe on account of his re-
ligion or politics. The classified civil service shall
include all officers and employes in the executive
civil service of the United States except laborers
and persons whose appointments are subject to
confirmation by the senate.
Examinations These are conducted by boards of
examiners chosen from among persons in govern-
ment employ and are held twice a year in all the
states and territories at convenient places. In Illi-
nois, for example, they are usually held at Cairo,
Chicago and Peoria. The dates are announced
through the newspapers or by other means
