It wnn Judge Ambrouc Idirkin, of Hnver- atraw, who read tlic document, after which it was put to a vote, the unanimous will of those preaent being in favor ■ of presenting it to the people. The platform contained many progressive, forward- looking measures. As a political documenl it did great credit to the Dcinocrnlic party. It was a decided depar ture from the old custom of nominating a set of men and fighting'out tlie election on any old grounds at all. Perhaps the zeal shown by the members of the party present at the coiiventidn in adopting the platform was Tlic Republicans having been ut the public crib and dis playing a nasty bit of elbowing everyone else away who tried to sidle up to It, the Democrats were positively starv ing and achftl for a chance at some aubstantial political nourishment in the way of not u few juicy plums within the gift of the people. The election in the oHing offered a wonderful chance to make another determined try at the public crib. ' The Democratic^ leaders realized tliat in order to win tile conlidence of the people after zo many years of sliiver- ; ing out in the cold, was to present to the electorate a num- ^ 'her of concrete reasons why tlic Republicans should be ' ousted from power and the Democrats put in tlic. saddle. So they doped out the platform. Now, we believe that the majority of tlic Democrats present at the convention and voting on the platform were fully cognisant of the meaning of the planks found thcrc- ' in; moreover, they were sincere in their desire to get a chance at government control ao that they could show the people what they could do in the way of conducting the eounty ’ i affairs in an efficient and honest manner. We be lieve that they meant It when they said (in the platform). “ We p^dge ourselves .in all solemnityf that, should the people call upon the Democratic.party to guide their affairs for the next two years, our party will give them as cco- notjicsl, cleuin and fair, an administration, as it is humanly ,.y possible. “ Turthcrmorc, we pledge ourselves to adopt and pro- ' Anulgate as many progressive measures as are consistent with goad government based on sound principles, meas ures which will redound to the benefit of all the people, rather than to the favored few. “ To this end we pledge ourselves as the Democratic party of this county as well as the nieirwho are to bt; elios- en as candidates for the various offices, to the followfng platform ” (Here follows the text of Ric platform adopted). Between now and the time when the new BoaVd of .iiupcrviilqrs, the majority of whom will be Demoerats, me'ets, the Evening Journal will take up tlic various planks included in the platform. Today let it bv. enough to set , forth just this.one question: /•■ Did the Demuerats timnn what tliey said in the^plaf- form ? ' ■ ’ . ' The new limi-up in the .hoard will l>e a.s follows; Brown and (iarher, Repuhlieaiis : Sha'iike.yi llriiikerbolf and .Marks, Democrats, 'I ’ hree to iwo. If the Demoeratie party really wants to redeem its phidges it sliouhi .sec to* it that the three Demoeratie supervisors follow the reeoms ■ iKeudations of the County Executive Committee in promul gating progressive Iegi.slntion.,nid giving the county tile, efficient and economical administration- their platform promised to give. There should be no reason to eompluin, after Jan- ' uary- 1, that the Demuerats in the hoahl would put throjigh progressive measures if they had cuiitrol of that liody. They will have control. They could pass everyone of the ' , measur.es'promised in tlie platfurm uifhuut the ' sliglitesl hitcli nr trouble. Will The llirec. Democratic supervisors vote as a.unit, • or will a certain one among them, who appears to have, been fii a beautiful, “ huddle ” for quite a while now, kick over the tri(rrs and buck bis parly? If he Joes, tlie parly, now on trial by the people, is sure to be wreekeS, because witliuiit a mnjjirity in the board none of Die measures so solemi^ promised before eloctioii-will be passed. If this one individual thinks that by bucking his' party He will make a great man out of himself hr is liadly misluken. If success at the polls has gone to his head, he will get such a . jolt that the shock nsay' kill bh^deader than a doornail. Xo man is greater than his party. Certainly no man .ca« defy the people who elected him, with impunity. If there is a man among the three Demorra~(|icssupervisors . who thinka in terms only of himself and not his duty as un elected servant of the people, his party leaders ought tn take the nrrrsaa ry steps to bring him to Hinr.

RatlUs It was during the pre-Christmas period of secret shopping, mysteri ous-looking packages, clandestine meetings of various m- mbers of the family, and a general air of secretivetiess, when everyone wears a superior and knowing smile nt the thought of the precious Becrct which is his to guard. Little Dick happened on one of those confidential winking and nod ding and whispering parties which the rest of the family was-holding in the kitchen. As he appeared, the subject was abruptly changed and the conspirators smilingly be gan W> discourse on the relative values of red rattles and blue rattles. Dick, who is eight, wis very much piqued at the thought that rattles were being discussed as a prospective Christmas present, and asked complainingly, “ What am I going Ui get for Christmas.'^ The pl-attcrs grinned at each other as the spokesman answered in a pscudo-Bstonished voice, \Why didn ’ t you know? We ’ re go ing to give you a rattle. \Dick had heard this old saw too many times and burst out with: “ What's tho matter anyway? Is all I'm go ing to get __ rattles!

JENKINS Everybody knows, Jt suppose, that the development of the gaso line and kerosene motor has chang ed farm life more in 80 years than in any other 300 years of history. The automobile, tractor, motor truck, stationary motor and home electric plank have all reached the farm since 1900. And there is no branch of farm production or farm life that they have not influenced in one way or another. Gen'mtlly speaking, the effect has been good, and will be much better hereafter. Farming is still in process of getting itself Mljus- ted to gasoline power, snd adjusts ments in anything as huge and complex and well-established as ugricultura are sure to take a tong time, and involve ng ood deal ot unavoidable grief hcie and there. Hell is piuctically out, if we aicl ' There an vsry good reasons for this.' At one end, gasoline power has speeded up the pace of farm life to a wonderful degree. Every operation on the farm has speed ed up, from plowing to milking. And every operation off the farm, of which there are many, is done in a small fraction of the time It used to take. * The result is, naturally, that the farmer, himself can' do far more than in former days. When tho horse, mule or ox, with an. occa sional steam engine, fumiriied all the power used. He can operate more acres, or keep more live stock, or he can farm the same sized plant much more intenslvely. . Thus gasoline power has increas ed the total volume of farm prod ucts. snd Increased ever more the production per fanner. And this, in turn, is one of the two chief causes of the farm surpluses of which we have heard so much for ten yc.ir. At the same time, the gasoline engines are increasing the surplus es from the otlier end. as it were. For they have greatly reduced the number of work animals, horses, mules and oxen, that formerly had to be fed with hay and grain from the farms. It Is a fact that at least 86 per cent of all farm land is used t« produce food fur animals amt poul- \'.V , -I Tim sat back in drsperation. ‘ (Aw! There ’ s just no use me tellin ’ J-ou.
