THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN 2 SPECIAL NOTICE. It has been a rule of The Robesonian for several years to charge for publishing cards of thanks, resolutions of re spect and obituaries. Occa sionally we get obituaries or resolutions of respect with re quest to publish free, however, so it appears necessary to gi ve this notice prominence again. All such notices must be paid for at the rate of one cent a word for obituaries and reso lutions and not less than 50 cents for cards of thanks. This applies to all. Anything of this nature that is worth pub lishing is worth paying for; if not worth paying for then a paper should not be expected to incur the expense of publish ing for nothing. REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. Adopted at Chicago Resolu tions Not Unlike Those of Former Years But Highly Dis posed to be Pr ogreisive. Chicago Dispatch, 22d. The platform adopted by the Republican national convention reaffirms the belief of the party in the protective tariff and de clares that the present high cost of living is "not due to the pro tective tariff system, as evidenc ed bv the existence of similar conditions in countries which have a tariff policy different from our own " It declares the party's un changing faith in government of the people, for the people arid by the people," expressing its ven erations for the name of Abra ham Lincoln, whose lofty princi ples and superb devotion to his country were an inspiration to the party he honored. " It expresses its belief in "our self controlled representative democracy, which is a govern ment of laws, not of men, and in which order is the prerequisite of progress." "The Republican party" it says, "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 to enact the necessary legislation to safeguard the public health, to limit effectively the labor of women and children, to protect wage earners engaged in dan gerous occupations, to enact com prehensive and generous work men's compensation laws in place of the present wasteful and un just syBtem of employers' liabili ty and in all possible ways to satisfy the just demand of the people for the study and solution of complex and constantly chang ing proplems of social welfare. Rights of Individual "In dealing with these ques tions," says the platforn," it is important that the rights of every individual to the freest possible development of his own powers and resources and to the control of his own justly acquired prop erty, as far as those are compat ible with the rights of others, shall not be interfered with or destroyed." The authority and integrity of of the courts, both State and Fed eral, must be upheld, the plat form adds, but it declares in fa vor of "legislation to prevent long delays and the tedious and costly appeals which have so of ten amounted to a denial of jus tice in civil cases and to a fail ure to protect the public at large in criminal cases." It declares the recall of judges "unnecessary and unwise," yet favors such "action as may be necessary to simplify the pro cess by which any judge who is found to be derelic in his duty may be removed from office." It favors the peaceful settle ment of international disputes and the reference of controvers ies between nations in an inter national court of justice. The Republican party is op posed to special privilege and monopoly, says the platform, pointing to the enactment of the inter-State commerce act and of the anti-trust act. It favors the "enactment of legislation supple mentary to the existing anti trust act which will define as criminal offences those specific acts that uniformally mark at tempts to restrain and to monop olize trade." Benefits of Tariff. The Republican tariff policy, declares the platform, "has been of the greatest benefit to the country, developing our re sources, diversifying our indus tries and protecting our work men against competition with cheaper labor abroad. "Some of the existing import duties, it continues, "are too . high and should be reduced. To ' accomplish this correct informa tion is indispensable. This in formation can best be obtained bv an expert commission, as the larce volume of useful facts con tained in the recent reports of the tariff board have deraonstra ted." As to the high cost of living the platform declared that the party will support a "prompt scientific inauirv into the causes which are operative, both in the United States and elsewhere to increase the cost of living," and that when these facts are known the necessary steps will be taken to reduce high prices. The platform declares for the "progressive department of our banking and currency system." "It is of great importance, " it continues, "to social and econo mic 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 ma chinerybe provided to supply the demand of farmers for credit as it is that the banking and cur rency systems be reformed in the interest of general business. Therefore, we recommend the passage of State and Federal laws for the establishment and capable supervision of organiza tions having for another purpose the loaning of funds to farm ers." As to Campaign Funds. The platform would "prohibit corporations from contributing .tb campaign funds; favors a con-. tmuance of the present conserva tion policy, and the establish ment of a parcels post; approves the action of President Taft and of Congress in abrogating the treaty with Russia. It declares for the "mainten ance or an adequate navy;" for a strong American merchant ma rine; for a liberal and systematic policy for the improvement of rivers and harbors; for a liberal Federal contribution to the work of preventing further floods along the Mississippi and for a continuance of the reclamation policy. It favors developing Alaska's resources and the leasing of the coal sands there "on such terms as will invite development and provide fuel for the navy and the commerce of the pacific ocean." Laws to give relief from "the constantly growing evil of in duced and undesirable immigra tion, which is mimical to the progress and welfare of the United States" are recommend ed. Among Republican accomplish ments mentioned are the Pana ma Canal, the bureau of mines, postals savings banks and the effort to secure greater economy and increased efficiency in the conduct of government business. Health Campaign. Robeson county, assisted by the State Board of Health, will wage a vigorous campaign against consumption, typhoid fever, ma laria, smallpox, hookworm and other preventable diseases dur ing the entire summer.
