Decatur Democrat, Volume 48, Number 19, Decatur, Adams County, 14 July 1904 — Page 2

THE PLATFORM’ As Adopted by the Democratic National Committee at St. Louis.

Th? Deiaocrat’c party of the United States. in national convention assembled, declares its devotion to the essential principles of rhe I>eii? »cratic faith which brings It together in party communion. Under . era local self-government and nn Ctonal unity and prosperity were alike established. They underlaid our independence, the structure of our free republic and every democratic extension from Louisiana to California and Texas to Oregon, which preserved faithfully in all the states the tie between taxation and representation. They yet iop.re the masses ->f oar fteople. guarding jealously their rights and iberties. and cherishing their fraternity, peace and orderly development. They remind us of our duties and responsibilities as eitize is and impress upon us. particularly at this time, the necessity of reform and the rescue of the administration or gov eminent from the headstrong, arbitrary and spasmodic watch uistract busin->s by uncertainty, and pervade the public mind with dread, distrust and pertubation. FU NDAVE NT A L PRI NCI PI. ES. The application of these fundamental principles to the living issues of the dry is the ilrst step toward the assured p< i e. safety and progress of our nation. Freedom of the press, of conscience and of speech—equality before the law of ali iti■ens: right of trial by jury; freedom of the person defended by the writ of habeas corpus; liberty of personal contract untrammelled by sumptuary laws: supremacy of civil over military authority: a well disciplined militia: the separate n of church and state: economy in expenditure: low taxes that labor may be ligutl” burdened: prompt and ird fulfillment of public and private obligations: fidelity to treaties; peace and friendship wltu all nations: entangling alliances with none: absolute acquiescence In the will of the majority—the vital principle of republics—those are doctrines which Democracy has established approved t»y the nation, and they should be constantly invoked and enforced. CAPITAL AND LABOR. We favor enactment and administration of laws giving labor and capital impartially their just rights. Capital and labor ought not to be enemo is. Each is necessary to the other. Each has its rights; but the rights of labor are certainly no less “vest ed.” no less ••sacred*' and no less “un alianable” than the rights of capital. CONSTITUTIONAL GUARANTEES. Constitutional guarantees are violated whenever any citizen is denied the right to labor, acquire and enjoy property or reskle where interest or inclination may determine. Any denial thereof by indivtd uahs, organizations or governments should be summarily rebuked and punished. We <3eny the right of any executive to disregard or suspend any constitutional privi- ( lege or limitation. Obedience to the laws and respect for their requirements are • alike th<* supreme duty of the citizen and the official. The military should be used only to sup po-r and to maintain the law. We unqualifiedly condemn its Employment for the summary banishment of citizens without trial, or for the control of elections. We approve the measure which passed th** United States senate in 1896, but which a R* . -- ~;s ever sii fused to enact, relating to contempts in fed era! courts, and prov d’ng for trial by jury in cases of indirect contempt. WATERWAYS. We favor liberal appropriations for the eare and improvement of the waterways of the country. When any waterway like the Mississippi river is of sufficient importance • to demand special aid of the government, such aid shotnd be extended with a definite plan of continuous work until permanent improvement is secured. We oppos** the Republican policy of starring home development In order to feed the greed for conquest and the appetite for national ••presige” and display of strength. ECONOMY OF ADMINISTRATION. Large reductions can easily he made In tte annual expenditures of the government ’without impairing the efficiency of any brawh of the public service, and we shall ins’«q upon the strictest economy and frugality compatible with vigorous and efficient civil, military and naval administration as a right of th#* people, too clear to Sx* denied or withheld. We favor honesty in the public service. ’The enforcement f honesty in the public serv».\ and to that end a thorough legislative investigation of those executive departments of the government already ’snow® to teem with corruption, and the V s ’s’shment of ascertained corruptionists fear or fa ■>r or reg dto :>-rsons. ■ *•'.'» fteiii and deliberate refusal of both the senate and the house of repre- i eentatives to permit such investigation to i»e mad 1 dem nitrates that only by a •cLanse in the px#*curive and in th • leglsla- | tire d -partmen s ran complete exposure. > punishment and correction be obtained. GOVERNMENT CONTRACT WITH - TRUSTS. We condemn th# 1 action of the Republican i jv.rty in congress in refusing to prohibit an <p:.eewtlve department from entering into nlracts wiib convicted trusts or unlawful comb’nat’.ous in restraint of interstate v’*ade. We btr -.*e that one of the best re-’hMs ** procuring economy and h mestr In the public service is to have public offi<r>ats. from the occupant >f the White Hoose € -n to the lowest of them, retimed as nearly — may be. to Jefferson Jan simplicity of living. EXECUTIVE USURPATION. We favor the nomination and election of a preshb-nt ir.?»ued with the principles of ▼be «• •nstitntlon. who will set his face utAjTjlr sgair* * ’_L*i’ ’ttive usurnation of leiz-

islat'.vc arci maicini r«incrinir». natnuri usurpation be veiled under the guise of executive construction of existing laws, or whether it take refuge In the tyrant s pleas of necessity or superior wisdom. IMPERIALISM. We favor the preservation, so far as we can. of an open door for the world’s commerce in the Orient, without an unnecessary entanglement in Oriental and European affairs, and without arbitratry. unlimited. irresponsible and absolute government anywhere within our jurisdiction. We oppose, as fervently as did George Washington himself, an indefinite, irresponsible. discretionary and vague ’ absolutism and a policy of colonial exploitation, no matter where or by whom invoked or ex ercised: we believe with Thomas Jefferson and John Adams that no government has a right to make one set of laws for those •at home” and another and a different set of laws, absolute in their character, for those in “the colonies.” All men under the American flag are en titled to protection of the institutions whose emblem the flag is: if they are inherently unfit for those institutions, then they are inherently unfit to be members of the American body politic. Wherever there may exist a people incapable of being governed under American laws. In consonance with the American constitution of that people ought not to be part of the American domain. We Insist that we ought to do for the Filipinos what we have done already for the Cubans, and It Is our duty to make that promise now. and upon suitable guarantees of protection to citizens of our own and other countries resident there at the time of our withdrawal, set the Filipino people upon their feet free and independent to work out their own destiny. The endeavor of the secretary of war. by pledging the government’s endorsement for • promoters”in the Philippine Inlands to make the United States a partner in speculative iegi<lation of the archipelago, which was only temporarily held up by the opp »- sition of the Democratic senators In the last session, will, if successful, lead to entanglements from which it will be difficult to escape. TARIFF LEGISLATION. The Democratic party has been and will continue to be, the consistent opponent of that class of tariff legislation by which certain Interests have been permitted, through congressional favor, to draw a heavy tribute from the American people. This mon stroui oej-ve-aL-n. * ties wmen oar political institutions were established to secure, has caused what may once have been Infant industries to become the greatest combinations of capital that the world has ever known. Thes** especial favorites of the government have through trust method* been converted Into monopolies. thus bringing to an end domestic competition, which was the only alleged check upon the extravagant profits made possible by the protective system. These industrial combinations, by the financial assistance they can give, now control the policy of the Republican party. We denounce protection as a robbery of the many to enrich the few. and we favor a tariff limited to the needs of the govern moot economically administered and so levied as not to discriminate against any industry. class of section, to the <*ud that the burdens of taxation shall be distributed as equally as possible. We favor a revision and a gradual reduction of the tariff by rhe friends of the masses and for the commonweal, and mt by the friends of its abuses, its extortions and its discriminations, keeping in view the ultimate ends of ••equally of burdens and equality of opportunit.es,” and tae constitutional purpose of raising a revenue by taxation, tv-wit, the support of the federal government in all its integrity and virility but in simplicity. We recognize that tae gigantic trusts and combinations designed to < nable capital to secure more than Its just share of the joint Eroducts of capital end labor, and which ave been fostered and promuted under Republican rule, are a menace to beneficial competition and an obstacle to permanent business prosperity. A private monoixily is Ir defensible and intolerable. Inuividual equality of opportunity and free competition are essential to a healthy and permanent commercial prosperity. and any trust, combination or monopoly tending to destroy these by controlling production, restricting competition or fixing prices, should be prohibit’ d and punished by Inw. We especially denounce rebates and discrimination by transportation companies as the most potent agency in promoting and strengthening unlaw lul conspiracies against trade. We demand an eula’-gem nt of the powers of the interstate mmpree commission to the end that the traveling public and shippers of this count.y may have prompt and adequate relief fur the abuses to which they are subjected in the matter of transportation. We demand a strict enforcement of existing civil and c-’iiinal statute* against all such trusts, c .U> .nations and monopolies: and wo demand th-* enactment of such further legisla; <n as mar be necessary to effectually sup;- ess ’hem. Any trust or unlawful combination engaged in interstate commerce which is ' monopolizing any braneh of business or I predu* tion. should not be permitted to 1 transact business outsid* • f tl.o state of its origin. Whenever it shall l>e established t In any court of competent jurisdiction that such monopolization exisr*. such prohibi-; tion should be enforced through compre- • hensive laws to be enacted on the subject. RECLAMATION OF ARID LANDS AND DOMESTIC DEVEUH’MENT. We congratulate our Western citizens upon the passing of the law known as the Newlands Irrigation Act for the irriiration

anu iCviunianon or me anu iaua» West, a measure framed by a Democrai. passed in the senate by a non-partisan vote and passed in the house against the opposition of almost all the Republican leaders by a vote, the majority of which was Democratic. We call attention to this great Democratic measure, broad and comprehensive as it is, working automatically throughout all without further action of congress, until the reclamation of all the lands in the arid West capable of r*‘e’.’oi t n is ac-‘< m pished, reserving the lan-A reclaim-. 1 so. home-seekers in small tracts, and rigidly guarding against land monopoly, as an evidence of rhe poll y of d'mestlc development contemplat' d bv the Democratic party, should it be placed in power. ISTHMIAN CANAL. The Democracy when entrusted with power will construct the Panama canal speedily, honestly and « e<;nomica!ly. tin •- by giv.ng to our p>*«»ple what Democrat' have .always contended for—a gre it interoceanic canal. furnishing shorter and cheaper linos of transportation and broader and less trammeled fade relations with the other peoples of the world. AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP. We pledge ourselves to insist upon the just ami lawful protection of our citizens at home and abroad ami to use all proper measures to secure for them. wb« ;her native born or naturalized, nd without distinction of race or creed, the equal p rec tion of laws and the enjoyment of ali rights and privileges open to them und°r the covenants of ov.r tr- .'fies of friendship and commerce: and. if under existing t-varies the right of travel and sojourn is denied to American citizens or recognition is with held from American passports by any conn tries on the g»« end of race or creed, we favor the b«-ginning of negotiations with the governments of such countries to secure by treaties the removal of those unjust dis criminations. We demand that all over the world a duly authenticate<l passport issued by the g w eminent of the United States to an American citizen shall be proof of the f rt that | he is an American citizen and shall entitle him to the treatment due him as such. ELECTION OF SENATORS BY THE

PEOPLE. We favor the election of United States senators by the direct vote of the people. STATEHOOD FOR TERRITORIES. We favor the admission of the Territories of Oklahoma and Indian Territory. We also favor the immediate admission of Arizona and New Mexico as separate states and a territorial government for Alaska and Porto Rico. We hold that the officials appointed to ad minister 4he government of any territory, as well as with the district of Alaska, should be boua fide residents at the time of their appointment of the territory or district in which their duties are to be performed. CONDEMNATION OF POLYGAMY. We demand the extermination of poly gamy within the jurisdiction of the United States, and the complete separation of church and state in political affairs. MERCHANT MARINE. We denounce the ship subsidy bill recently passed by the United States senate as an iniqu.tous appropriation of public funds for private purposes and a wasteful, illogical and useless attempt to overcome by subsidy the obstructions raised by Republican legislation to the growth ard development of American commerce on the sea. We favor the upbuilding of a merchant marine without new or additional burdens upon the people and without bounties from the public treasury. RECIPROCITY. We favor liberal trade arrangements with Canada and with peoples of other countries where there can be entered into with benefit to American agriculture, manufactures, mining or commerce. MONROE DOCTRINE. We favor the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine in its full integrity. » ARMY. We favor the reduction of the army expenditures to the point historically demonstrated to be safe and sufficient. PENSIONS. Tke Democracy would secure tn the surviving soldiers and sailurs and their dependants. generous pensions, not by an arbitrary executive order, but by legislation which a grateful people stand ready to enact. Our soldiers and sailors who defend with their lives the constitution and the laws have a sacred Interest in their just administration. They must therefore share with us the humiliation with which we have witnessed the exaltation of court farorites without distinguished service, over the scarred neroes of many battles: or aggrandized by executive appropriations out of the treasurie* of a prostrate people in vlo’"tioB n ■>» —i w«- *- - — tne compensation of allowances of the military officers. CIVIL SERVICE. The Democratic party stands committed to the principle of civil service reform, and we demand their honest, just and impartial enforcement. We denounce the Republican party for Its continuous and sinister encroachments upon the spirit and operation of a civil service rules, whereby it has arbitrarily dispensed with examinations for office in the interest of favorites and employed ail manner of devices to overreach and set aside the principles upon which the civil service was established. SCHOOL AND RACE QUESTIONS. The race ouesvon has brought countless woes to this country. The calm wisdom of the American people should see to it that jr brings no m .re. To revive the dead and hateful race and sectional animosities in any part of our common country means confusion, distraction of business, and the reopening of wounds now happily healed. North, South. Ea*t and West have but recently stood get her in line of battle from the walls of Pekin to the hills - f Santiago, and as sharers of a eomrnon glory and a common destiny. should share fraternally the common burdens. We therefore deprecate and ccudemu the Bourbon-like selfish and n rov >pi.it of the recent Republican convention at Chi cago, which suugot to kindie an a- the ern bers of rarial and sectional strife, and we appeal from it to th*- sober common sens end patriotic spirit of the American people. THE REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION The existing Republican admiaistrnti n has been spasmodic, erratic, sensational, spectacular and arbitrary. It has made itself a satire upon the congress, the court*, and upon the settled practices and usages of national and international law. It summoned the congress into hasty and futile extra session and virtually adjourned ft, leaving behind its flight from Washington uncalled calendars and unaccomplished tasks. It made war. wh : ch Is the sole power of congress, without its authority, thereby usurping one of its fundamental prerogatives. it violated a plain statute of the United States a* well as plain treaty obligations. international usages and constitu tional law; and has done so under pretense of executing a great public policy which could have been more easily effected lawfully, constitutionally and with honor. It forced strained and unnatural con structions upon statutes, usurping judicial Interpretation and substituting cungres sional enactment decree. It withdrew from congress their customary duties of investigation which have heretofore made the representative.* of the people and the states the terror cf evildoers. It conducted a secretive investigation of its own and boasted of a few sample con victlons. while It threw a broad coverlet over the bureaus which had been their cfeosen field of operative abuses, and kept in power the superior officers under whose administration the crimes had been committed. It ordered assault upon some monopolies but, paralyzed by Its first vtctorv it flung out the flag of truce and cried out that It would not “run amuck”—leaving Its future purposes beclouded by Its vaccinations. APPEAL TO THE COUNTRY. Conducting the campaign upon this declaration of our principles and j. r-j. — v invoke for our candidates - ;; p -rt r only of our great and time-honored organization. but also the active assistance of all of our fellow citizens who. disregarding past differences upon questions do longer in issue, desire the perpetuation of our cod stitutional government as framed laoiisaed bv the fath**ra of th® republic.

Carl Beatty is the boss fisherman of Decatur as was proven las week. He was out driving with Lou Maland and as they were crossing the Studabaker creek east of town C ar glanced into the water and saw a big carp floundering around. The ; w .! -i th.- : ’Uggy iuto the creek coming forth in a moment with a monster fish in his arms. Carl held on to his finny fiivi.d tightly, brought him to town and helped eat him for dinner today. The fish weighed four and a half pounds. Monday morning about 8:30 o’clock Cuvier King had a narrow escape from serious injury and probably death. He in company with several small boys were shooting fire crackers in front of Hendington's restaurant. He was interested in his playing and did not seen horse tind’ wagon coming, neither did the driver see the boy. Cuvier was knocked down, but got up and was knocked down a second time by the horse, he falling in such a manner that the wheels of the wagon were about to pass over his'neck. Sam Pfleigen ran out and grabbed the wheel which in all probability saved the boy s life. He received several bruises on his face and his right arm was skinned. —Portland Sun. The boy is the son of Jesse King, and is well known here. The rain which broke lose here Thursday was one of the heaviest ever seen in this locality and was mighty close to a cloud burst. The rain started about six o’clock and continued until midnight. For three hours the water simply fell in torents and as a result many of the cellars were flooded. In several business houses it was necessary to remove the goods from the basements and many residence cellars all over town were half filled with water. As a result the old St. Marys river is raging today, bank full and another day of rain will put it up toward high water mark. The stone quarries are under water and at the Fritzinger quarry quite a little damage was done. During last nights rains the streets were covered in places a foot deep but an hour or two after found them clear proving our perfect sewrage system.

Dr. H. E. Keller, the new ci’y health officer is making war on typhoid microbes and desease germs of all kinds. He has examined the city water and discovered that while not pirticuarly unhealthy it decidedly needs cleaning. He proved this to the city council at their Tuesday nights meeting and that board immediaetly order’d an investigation. The trouble was locate lin the big cistern at the station into which all the water is pumped before going into the mains and a force of men are busy today thoroughly cleaning that reservoir, which will be put in a perfectly healthy condition thus insuring clean pure water. The water was shut off this morning causing much inconvenience, as no notice had been given but the men in charge thought that the matter of the health of Decatur citizens was of two much importance to wait longer. Word was received here late yesterday afternoon by Nick Detro who is employed at the Fashion stables from Chattanooga Ohio, conveying the sad news that Crist Kessler, Detro’s father in law was found dead at noon Monday caused hy hanging. In an interview with Mr. Detro last evening he stated to a representative of this paper that he was at a loss to know what prompted Mr. Kessler to commit this horrible deed further stating that he was financially well fixed owning one hundred and twenty acres of land which was unincumbered and which is dotted here and there with oil wells from which he was receiving a nice royalty. Mr. Detro further stated that he has seemed in the best of health here lately and he is unable to offer any theory for the commission of the deed. The telephone message did not give any of the particulars merely stating that Mr. Kessler had been found dead on the premises and that death resulted from hanging. Mr. Detro’s wife is heart broken over the terrible news and can hardly be consoled. They left last evening for Chattanooga where they will remain until after the funeral. Mr. K ssler was well known in this ci y and hi« -ndden dem4l and the manner in which it occurred will no doubt prove a great surprise to his many friends.

W. A. Kuebler Roman Barthel], Julis Spies and Frank Barthell returned Friday evening from Atwood Lake where they spent a week m inkeying with the finny tribe, all the boys have some wonderful fish stories to tell and all declare Keubler caughfc a carp weighing forty seven pounds it was a whopper. A complete surprise was sprung on Mr. and Mrs. David Fuhrman on Thursday, July 7, at their country home five miles west of the city, the occasion being in honor of Mrs. Fuhrman’s 50th anniversary of her birth. Friends, with groaning baskets, arrived at ten o’clock and a large table was soon spread with good things. Those in attendance were: John Shefferley and family, Charles Suitz and wife, B. A. Winans and family, of Berne; William Zerkle and family, Harve Smith and family, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Brown. Mr. and Mrs. John Jones, Frank Faurot and family, Mr. and Mrs. John Steele, Misses Verna and Stelte Davis, Rolla Longenberger. Harry and Ada Fuhrman, F. J. and Warren Payne. Marshal Crosbie of Bluffton and Marshall Cordua of this city made a trip of about ten miles west of town to get a horse that was stolen at Bluffton last Monday. Marshal Cordua received information to be on the look out and was informod Tuesday morning by a son of Warren Reed that his father had picked up a large black mare that morning that was wandering on the public highway. Marshal Cordua informed the authorities lat Bluffton and Marshal Crosbie arrived last evening and the animal was fully identified and he returned this morning to Bluffton with his property. Yager was the name of the man from whom the animal was stolen. No truce of the thief has as yet been found. A late telephone message from Chattanooga gave the following discretion of the finding of the body of Coris Kessler, but as yet no cause can be assigned for the deed. Mr. Kessler ate his breakfast as usual with the family and seemed in the best of spirits and humor and after eating started for the barn to do his usual mornings work, he feed his hogs and then went to the barn to do his regular work there among the stock and after that time he was never seen alive. Abaut nooa th? family became worried beca use he did not come to dinner and his son was Aent up town to find him but cime back with the report that he had not been seen by anyone this greatly agitated the family who at once started to senrch for him when his body was found hanging from a rafter in tho woodheuse, by his son who at onaa netified the other searchers. A doctor was hastily summoned who on examination found that he was beyond all earthly aid and his verdict was death resulting from hanging with suicidal intent. The peculiar part of the affair was that his body was found banging behind the wood house door which had been open all day and that he had in all prob ability desired to hide his ghastly work and as no one had seen him enter the woodhouse the theory advanced is that he had planned thp hanging all out before hand and desired.to keep his whereabouts a secret as long as possible. He undoubtedly had gone direct from the barn to the above described place as he bad used a halter strap to hang himself with. Why he committed this horrible act is still a mystery and in all probability will never be solved.

In their account of the cr JUncil I | meeting the Geneva Herald say ß .l An Ordinance granting franchisefc>l Geneva Traction O. to run their I line through Geneva on Shackle? I street was read and franchise grant I ed. A petiton was submitted the I council praying for the pavin» O s High and Bradford street with brick and a great majori y of the property owners along High street signed the petition. As to Bradford street it was about evenly divided. ;The petition was laved on table to await a called session. Many complaints of the city; water have reached us and an explanation is no*doubt in order. The big cistern was cleaned last week as stated in this paper and the pipes are being cleaned out. Pitch is being used and this is what gives the peculiar taste and odor to the water instead of some disinfectant ! as is supposed. Dr. Killer, city j health officer said this morning: “There is nothing the least injurious about the water and the present bad taste will leave in a few days. The water is as pure and clean as it is possible to have it and you need have no fear in using it.” Brutally Tortured A case came to light that fcr persistant and unmerciful torture has perhaps never besm equaled. Joe Golobi'k of Colusa, Calif., writes. “For 15 years I endured insufferable pain from rheumatism and nothing releived me though I tried everything known. I came across Electric Bitters and it’s the greatest medicine on earth for that trouble' A few bottles of it completely relieved and cured me.” Just as good for Liver and Kidney troubles and general debility.
