A new era has opened ujon this world. . For half a century we have been answering the great questions which the welfare of the American people demanded, and we answered them wisely. Now" we must turn to the new economic questions questions which involve the righteousness of American business, a just distribution of wealth by preventing dishonest accumulation of gain questions that look to the pNysieal, mental and moral upbuilding of air the workers in factories and on farms throughout the republic. The Republican party is not the enemy of wealth. It believes in property and the rights of property; but it is also the friend of the people. It believes that the just rights of capital and the real welfare of the peop'e are one and the same. It believes that all honest interests of the few are wrapped up in the prosperity of the many; and so the Republican party stands as a defender of all honest capital on the one hand, the protector of all peaceful labor on the other hand and therefore the Republican party is the enemy of those modern Catilines who set at each others throats the laborer and t the man who employs them. A class is swiftly forming who propose to solve the great social and industrial problems of the times by hasty, radical measures. Now and then even the counsel of violence is heard. This group of extremists is already appropriating the name of the ' Democratic party. Against them and their doctrines the Republican party sets its face like flint, and fcr.tbem and their practices the Republican party has a hand of iron. ' We must be progressive we Republicans. But we must also be conservative, for the people demand not only that our principles shall be right and our purposes uplifting to the masses, but that our plans and policies shall work out practical results. Radicalism is emotion at the boiling point conservatism is merely common sense at normal temperature. How true ideals are; how false realities ! How noble the deeds the American people hare wrought, how seemingly impossible the height tbey have scaled! I have cited them to show you only that the broadest vision is narrow, the loitiest conception Is low, compared with the destiny which events are working out for this God-fearing and humanity helping nation. I would have you go forth understanding that the problems of to-day are not the plans of politicians nor the schemes of parties, but the questions of humanity and - civilization which Fate is addressing to . her chosen children.

The platform as agreed upon by leaders of the party and presented to the resolutions committee dwelt at length upon state issues, indorsed President Roosevelt's administration. Vice President Fairbanks conduct of his office, the Indiana senators and representatives and included the following planks: We faTor tbe national regulation of railroad rates In such manner as to prevent discrimination and Insure equality of service to all upon just and reasonable terms. Such regulation must be effected so as to operate Justly npon the shippers, the common carriers and the body of the people. We adhere to the time-honored Republican doctrine of protection. The Republican party, the friend of the protective policy through good and evil report, can be trusted to make changes In tariff schedules whenever more good than evil will result. We recognize reciprocity as the handmaiden of protection and favor such reciprocity arrangements with other nations as will increase our foreign trade without Injury to American Industry. We favor the enforcement of all laws enacted to protect the people agalast the encroachments of combined capital We realize that capital must combine in a lawful way successfully to conduct our modern industries and commerce,- and we believe In protecting It in its legitimate functions. We indorse he action of Tresident Roosevelt In rigidly enforcing tbe anti-trust laws placed upon the statute books of the United States by the Republican party. . Tbe indorsement of President Roosevelt's, administration was in the following plank : We approve and applaud the administration of 1'resldent Roosevelt. From the very first it has been one of the most notable In American history. During his administration and upon bis Initiative tbe department of commerce and labor has been established ; th law to prevent railroad rebates enacted : le-lHlatlon for tbe Panama canal and work on that great enterprise legun ; the law for Irrigation and reclamation of tbe arid west enacted and other legislation secured for the lasting benefit of the whole people, while President Roosevelt's enforcement of the laws against the trusts has not only lessened the lawbreaking but the widespread movement for law enforcement throughout the whole nation.

I TEXT OF REPUBLICAN

t The following is the platform adopted by the Republican State convention at Indianapolis : We commend and indorse the record of our Itepubllcan Senators and Representatives in the last General Assembly of this State. The Republican Legislatures of the last twelve years have all enacted laws that have contributed in large measure to the present happiness and prosperity of our people and to the elliclent conduct of local and State government. The Legislature of 190." was not only one of the most overwhelmingly Itepubllcan Oeneral Assemblies ever chosen in Indiana it was also one of the most responsive to enlightened popular sentiment. Its brief session of fewer than sixty working days was crowded with work of the highest Importance work that was carried to completion. Aou-l'artlaunahtp In State Institutions. Republican legislation and Republican administration, acting under such legislation, lifted our benevoleut and penal Institutions from political control and gave to the wards of the State Just, humane and efilcient treatment. We stand unalterably for the policy of non-partisanship in the management and control of these institutions. We believe that the trust Is a sacred one, to be administered solely for the welfare of our wards. l'rlaoii Contract Labor Abollabed. We congratulate the people of Indiana upon the practical abolition of "prison contract labor" and the establishment of the State account system and "trade schools" In the penal end reformatory Institutions of the State. Ily so doing we are minimizing competition with free labor, and at the same time we are giving the Inmates of such Institutions such education and training In Industry and handicraft a will enable them on their release to become more self-reliant and self-supporting citizens. Carina: for Dependent Population. We congratulate the people of Indiana on the greatly improved facilities for car ing for the depeudent popuiauuu oi tue stnto Old Institutions have been remodeled and new institutions built, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, without Increasing the tax levy one mill or the State de"bt one cent. State, County and Township Fundi. The legislative policies and measures of th nartv in enactlne laws and regulating the expenditures of State, county and township funds, have proved su.vesiful. The series of poor relier laws oaeciing coumy nd townshlt business nasse! since 1S!." ehnw an flrerüire annual reduction of US,M3 in the number of persons aided by township trustees, and an average yearly decrease nf J.:.17.120! In the expenditure for that purpose; or, In tbe ten years that these laws have been In operation, the net saving lo the people has been $3,371,920.90. Laws for Protection of Labor. The. Republican party created a labor commission, providing the means for the settlement of disputes between employer and employe, and placed on our statute books laws providing for factory inspection and prohibiting the employment of child labor. ' In the last ten years more than thirty Important laws for the protection of labor and for the safeguarding of tbe Interests of the wage earner have been enacted by Republican Legislatures. ltallroad t'umniliilon Law. The railroad commission law, enacted by a Republican Legislature on tbe recommendation of Governor Hanly, has resulted In majy reforms, abolished many abuses In matters of transportation, and has adjusted many questions of dispute and Irritation letween carrier and shipper. We heartllv Indorse this legislation and pledge our-ives to extend the power of the commlson as the interest of the people may deijudPublle Fände 1. We favor the enactment of a law providl ug for public depositories of public funds. 2. We pledge or party to support a law securing to th people all Interest that may be derived from the use of public tnonevs under tne control of township, city, county and tate officers. :i. W favor the enactment of a law requiring M State officers collecting money for the State to make dally settlements with the State Treasurer. 4. We also favor the enactment of a law providing for a un:form system of bookkeeping aud for an examination of public accounts. InMurattre Companies. We are In favor of a law to further regulate the business of life Insurance companies, the organization and business of fraternal bene tit societies, mutual benefit associations and investment companies, both foreign4 and domestic, for the purpose of better protecting the policy holders therein. A law should be enacted that will designate and more closely restrict fie kind and character of securities that nay be deposited with the Auditor of State, limit the expense of such companies, ociotles and associations and provide for complete publicity of their affairs. Private tlanklna:. The law passed, by the last Republican Legislature corrected many of the evils of private banking. That law should be strengthened and private bnuks made subject to examination by the Ftate. Amendment to State Constitution. We favor the adoption of the amendment to the State Constitution to be submitted at the coming election, authorizing the Legislature to regulate the qualifications of admission to the bar. Two-Cent Hnllroad Pausender Fare. We favor the enactment of a law fixing the minimum railroad pasxener rate at 2 cents per mile on all railroads operating within the State. The State Debt. A Republican administration means z reduction of the public debt The ptt-sent administration has reduced that debt $407.OUO, and during the last twelve years of Republican control of State affairs the State debt has lxen reduced from $7,r 12,01. '.12 to 1,289,015.12. The foreign bbt of the State Is now only $800.ooo. The option to pay this debt does not accrue until 1910. and the debt does not become due until 191.1. By reason of Republican business management we will be able, to pay and cancel all the bonded Indebtedness of the State that can ever be paid the dnte the option to pay matures, and five years before It is due, without udJlnf a mill to the State tax levy. State Administration. The present State administration from Its Inception haa stood for the wbe enactment of laws ard the fearless and nonfat enforcement of laws enacted. It has been and Is characterized by Jealous regard for the taxpaying public and for the promotion of high standards and the administration will long tie remembered by reason of fidelity amf sturdy Integrity of (Jovernor J. Frank Hanly, whose administration we most heartily and unreservedly commend and indorse. - $enilCenteniital. We congratulate tbe nation on this semicentennial year of the Itepubllcan party. During Its half century of life the American people have made the greatest progress of auj people In the world and written the most glorious page In the i (rry of mankind The Union lias been preserved, the slave fred. reHuniptloa achieved, the continent occupied under the homestead laws, the gold standard established and war against tyranny waged, ner possessions acquired and civilization advt'i'.ed even leyond our shores. No jwlltleat organization In this or any other nation ever accomplished a small fraction of the permanent good that the Republican party has fol the good of the American people and for humanity. To-day, stronger than ever, with Its past inspiring It to still greater endeavor, the Republican party Is solving the problems of the hour with the fame wisdom and courage that it solved the problems of the past. , Prosperity. The great prosperity which prevails throughout the State and nation Is largely due to the continued supienacy of Republican politics and Republican administration. We lirmly believe that Republican ascendency Is essential to the maintenance ? prosperity among the eople of the entire country. National Admlnlat rat lr,. We approve and applaud the administration of 1'resMent KoosevelL From the very tlrst it has !een one of the most notable ill Amertcun history.

We adhere to the time-honored Republican doctrine of protection. Our commercial and Industrial experiences have fully vindicated the wisdom of this great econom ic policy. And we adhere to the principle of protection. The true policy of protection is that schedules are to lie changed when experience shall suggest their change.'

There lives In Washington n physi cian who has a 10 year-old son, a boy of great spirit, but with no overabun dance of strength. Last stummer the boy secured his father's permission to Join a camping party, organized by boys in the neighborhood, but In the parting instructions there was one re striction, according to the . American Siectator. "Now, my boy," raid the father, -I don t wish you to go out In your Cousin Rob's canoe. He and those other lads are quite used to the water, but you are not. and you haven't as yet learned to sit still anywhere. You'll be with them only a short time, and with the other amusements you'll have you can afford to let the canoe alone this visit, so that your mother will not be worrying all the while you're away." The boy promptly gave the !esl.d promise. Ou his return ho was most enthusiastic with regard to the pleas ures he had enjoyed. ' "Didn't mind not canoeing a bit, father," said he, "The only time they used the canoe, anyway, was the last day, to go over to the other shore. But I remembered my promise and I wasn't going to break It at the last minute. So I swam across." The niKht Kind of n Lawyer.

LEGAL PROVERBS OF CHINESE.

They Appear to Have One to Fit K very Caae. Native proverbs relating to legal af fairs divide themselves roughly into three classes first, those more or less common to all people, and dealing with that "once bitten twice ' shy" sort of wisdom which leads a man to put up with evils rather than go to law. Such, for example, are the following: If one family has a lawsuit ten fam ilies are Involved In calamity. If but one word of information against a man gets into the Court nine bullocks cannot drag it out again. Let householders avoid litigation, for once go to law and there is nothing but trouble. Win your lawsuit and lose your money. Instances of this kind might be mul tiplied. But we must pass on to the 1 j.m a b a nemu ciass mose rerernng specially tne mandarins nnd hpre it mav be said that though the majority of the proverbial sayings are not compllraen tary, there are a few. to bear witness to the good that a good man may do even in an official capacity, while others give pointed advice e. g. Xever beat if you must fine; If you do, all fines decline.' Most, however, as Is natural, deal with the seamy side. The following are a few specimens: No punishment on the bench, no law below It. Deceive, but don't insult a mandarin. Men's hearts are like Iron, and the rule ot the mandarins like a furnace. Even an honest Chlh-fulmay, during the three years' term of office, saves 10 myriad snow-white tales of silver. Before he comes Into office he re proves a thousand faults; after he comes Into office he commits the same himself. Quickly pay your taxes, even if ho should empty your purse; then you will be most happy. Wishing to criminate, no difficulty will he met In finding a pretext. With only right to back you, sure the yamens lack you.. la mens are deep as the sea; and th?lr corruptions lofty as heaven. In life leware of yamens; In death bet are of helL North China Herald. Spendthrifts of the West. If Horace Greeley were alive to-day I doubt If he would still give to young men the unqualified advice to go west and grow up with the country, says a Californiah. The west is still a good place to make money, but not a good place to get rich. I believe a man can bulld.up a competence more easily in . . . . , . the east than lie can in the land be yond the Missouri River. It is too much a case of "easy comes, easy goes." Caiifornians are the most extravagant per , ,r s In the world. San Francisco la sons the most extravagant city in the world. Toung men find It easy to make money there and they find It still more easy to spend It. As a result they are inclined to waste early opportunities. There are still a number of good placer mines in the foothills not far from Stockton. While I was out there last summer I met a young chap who was working a claim and making good money out -of It Ills luck attracted buyers and he sold out for 37,O0O. He took the first train for San Francisco, and I saw him when he came back, six weeks later, without a penny. He even had to sell part of his clothes to get together another mining kit He hadn't the slightest regret over the manner in which he had blown his money, for he was still talking of the fun . he would have with the next "stake." His case is- merely an average one, but If he had lived In the east he might not have made so much money, but he would have kept most of It Speelal Favors for Drummers. Traveling men In England have spe clal treatment accorded them In hotels. says a returned American. When you go Into the lobby of nn English hotel you may be surprised to find a, great open fire burning In one end of the room. Gnat comfortable chairs will be found about the lobby and you need not exclaim If you see several salesmen smoking long pipes and reposing their stockinged feet upon large footstools. Empty shoes can be found In many por tions of the room. The English lobby Is a parlor or sit ting room, a place of comfort, and In no Instance bears the stiff, varnished emblazoned appearance of your Amer ican hostelrles. When you go to the dining room you may be surprised to hear the clerk ask If you are a trav eling man. If you are you are ush ered Into a simply but homely furnish ed room containing one long table. The apartment Is more like a private dining room, and everybody Is everybody else's I rneiiu. ine meai is especially served, i thp wflitprs Riiow esnecini fiprpronrv 1 and everything bears a tone of home I life. As each man leaves the table he is seen to drop a half penny in a'llttlo box. This Is an unwritten law of the Jand, and the money thus collected goes to pay for schools and orphanages for j the children of traveling salesmen who die without leaving sufficient means for I .their support. Several of these schools and orphanages are maintained I I I it ' 1 i I 1 I mrouguoui rugmiiu. Make Salt' front the Oeeau. All the salt produced In California ia obtained by evaporation from ocean water, there being but few salt springs or wells. Probably not less than 23 large salt plants are In ' operation around the lower arm of San Francisco Hay. It Is estimated that the total output of salt per year In Alametla County nlone reaches 100,000 tons; while not less than 50,000 tons are annually produced In other parts of the State.

Ho, All Ye Faithful Followers of Aeamias "" GIVE EAR! " - A Young Girl said to a Cooking School Teacher in New York: "If You make One Statement as False as That, All You have said about Foods is Absolutely Unreliable."

This burst of true American girl Indignation was caused by the teacher saying that Grape-Nuts, the popular pre-digested food, was made of stale bread shipped In and sweetened, 5 . -. , . xne teacuer coioreu up ana cnangea the subject. There Is quite an assortment of traveling and stay-at-home members of the tribe of Ananias who tell their, falsehoods for a variety of reasons. In tbe spring it is the custom on a cattle ranch to have a "round up," and brand the cattle, so we are going to have a "round up," and brand these cattle and place them la their proper pastures. FIRST PASTURE. Cooking school teachers this includes "teachers" who have applied to us for a weekly pay If they would say "something nice" about Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when we have declined to hire them tfj do this they get waspy and show thflr true colors. This also includes "demonstrators" and "lecturers" sent out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there, and these people Instructed by the small-be-whlsker-ed-doctor the head of the Institution to tell these prevarications (you can speak the stronger word If you like). This same little doctor conducts a small magazine in which there Is a department of "answers to correspondents," many of the questions as well as answers being written by the aforesaid doctor: In this column sometime ago appeared the statement: "No, we cannot recommend the use of Grape-Nuts, for It Is nothing but bread with glucose poured over It." Right then he showed his badge as a member of the tribe of Ananias, ne may have been a member for some time before, and so he has caused these "lecturers" to descend into the ways of the tribe wherever they go. When the young lady In New York put the "Iron on" to this "teacher" and branded her right we sent $10.00 to the girl for her pluck and bravery. SECOND PASTURE. Editors of "Trade" papers known as grocers' papers. Itemember, we don't put the brand on all, by any means. Only those that require it These members of the tribe have demanded that vre carry advertising in their papers and when we do not consider it advisable they Institute a campaign of vituperation and slander, printing from time to time manufactured slurs on Postum or Grape-Nuts. When they go far enough we set our legal force at work and hale thera to the judge to answer. If the pace has been hot enough to throw some of these "cattle" over on their backs, feet tied and "bellowing," do you think we should be blamed? They gambol around with talis held high and jump stiff legged with a very "cocky" air while they have full range, hut when the rope Is thrown over them "it's different." Should we untie them because they bleat soft and low? Or should we put the Iron on, so that people will know the brand? Let's keep them In this pasture, anyhow.

THIRD PASTURE. Now we come to a frisky lot, the "Labor Union" editors. You know down in Texas a weed called "Loco" Is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the brain that makes the steer "batty" or crazy. Many of these editors are "Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not Instantly obey the "demands" of a labor union and it is the universal habit of such writers to go straight into a system of personal vilification, manufacturing any sort of falsehood through which to vent their spleen. We assert that the common citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust and this has brought down on us the hate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, Is it harsh for us to get Judgments against them and have our lawyers watch for a chance to attach money due them from othr3? (For they are usually irresponsible.) ' Keep your eye out for the "Locoed" editor. Now let all these choice specimens take notice : We will deposit one thousand or fifty thousand dollars to be covered by a like amount from them, or any one of them, and If there was ever one ounce of old bread or any other ingredient different than our selected wheat and barley with a little salt and yeast used in the making of Grape-Nuts, we" will lose the money. Our pure food factories are open at all times to visitors, and thousands pass through each month, Inspecting every department and every process. Our factories are so clean that one coidd, with good relish, eat a meal from the floors. The work people, both men and women, are of the highest grade In the state of Michigan, and according to the state labor reports, are the highest paid In the sta:e for similar work. Let us tell you exactly what you will see when you Inspect tho manufacture of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous elevators containing the choicest wheat and barley possible to buy. These grains are carried through long conveyers to grinding mills, and there converted Into flour. Then the machines make selection of the proper quantities of this flour in the proper proportion and these parts are blended Into a general four which passes over to the big dough mixing machines, there water, salt and a little yeast are added "and the dough kneaded the proper length of time. Remember that previous to the barley having been ground It was passeil through about one hundred hours osoaking In water, then placed on warm floors and slightly sprouted, developing the diastase In the barley, which changes the starch In the grain Into n form of sugar. Now after we have passed It Into dough and It has been kneaded long enough. It Is moulded by machinery Into loavr about 18 Inches long and 5 or 0 Inches In diameter. It Is put int;. this sljape for convenience In second cooking. These great loaves are sliced by machinery and the slices placed on wire trays, these trays. In turn, placed on great steel trucks, and rolled Into V' secondary ovens, each perhaps 75 or feet long. There the food Is subject to a long low heat and the starch whicli has not been heretofore transformed, la turned Into a form of sugar generally known as Tost Sugar. It can be soon glistening on the granules of GrapeNuts If held toward tLe light and this sugar Is not poured over or put on tho food as these prevaricators ignorantly assert. Ou the contrary the sugar exudes from the Interior of each little granule during the process of manufacture, and reminds one of the little white particles of sugar that come. out on the end of a hickory log after It h "- Jteen sawed off and allowed to stand a length of time. , This Post Sugar Is the most digestible food known for human use. It Is so perfect in Its adaptability that mothers with very young Infants will pour a little warm milk over two or, three spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus washing the sugar off f lorn the granules an carrying It with ihe milk to the bottom of the dish. Then this milk charged with

Baltimore American. Qnneee Post Sugar Is fed to the Infants produciLg the most satisfactory results, for the baby has food that ' it can digest quickly and will go off to sleep well fed and contented. When baby gets two or three months old It Is the custom of some mothers to allow, the Grape-Nuts to soak In tha milk a little longer and become mushy, whereupon a little of the food can be fed in addition to tbe milk containing the washed off sugar. It Is by no means manufactured for a baby food, but these facts are stated as nn Illustration of a ierfectly dlcestIble food. It furnishes the energy k.nd strength for the great athletes. ; It Is la common use by physicians In their own families and among their patients, and can be seen on the table of every first-class college In the land. We quote from the London Lancet analysis as follows : " "The basis of nomenclature of this preparation Is evidently an American pleasantry, since 'Grape-Nuts' Is derived solely from cereals. The preparatory process undoubtedly converts the food constituent: .Into a much more digestible condition than In the raw- cereaL This Is evident from the remarkable solubility of the preparation, no less than one-half of It being soluble in cold water. The soluble part contains chiefly dextrin and no starch. In teppearanoe 'Grape-Nuts resembles fried breadcrumbs. The grains are brown and crisp, with a pleasant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt According to our analysis the following Is the comiK)?ltlon of 'Grape-Nuts; Moisture, C02 per cent; mineral matter, 2.01 per cent; fat, 1.G0 per cent; protelds, 15.00 per cent; soluble carbohydrates, &c., 49.40 per cent; and unaltered carbohydrates (Insoluble), 23.07 per cent The features worhy of note In this analysis are the excellent proportion of proteld, mlnera'. maters, and soluble carbohydrates per cent The mineral matter was rich in phosphoric acid. .'GrapeNuts' Is described as a brain and nerve food, whatever thr.t may be. Our analysis, at any rate, shows that It Is a nutritive of a high order, since It contains the constituents of a complete food la v?ry satisfactory and rich proportion and in an easily assimilable state." An analysis made by the Canadian Government some time ago shows that Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times the digestible elements contained In ordinary cereals, and foods, and near! twice the amount contained In any other food analyzed. The analysis Is familiar to practically every successful physician in America and London. We print this statement in order that the public may know the exact facti upon which we stake our honor and will back It with any amount of money that any person or corporation will put up. We propose to follow some of thesa choice sitecimens of tbi? tribe of Ananias. When you hear a cooking school teacher or any other prson assert that either Postum or Graie-Nut8 are made of any other ingredients than those printed on the package?, and as we say they are made, send us the name and address, also name of two or three witnesses, and If the evidence is clear enough to get a judgment we will right that wrong quickly. Our business lias always been conducted on as high a grade of human intelligence as we are capable of. and we propose to clear the deck of those prevaricators and liars whenever and wherever they can be found. Attention Is again called to the general and broad Invitation to visitors to go through our works, where they will be shown the most minute process and device In order that they may understand how pure and clean and wholesome Grape-Nuts and Postum arc. There Is an old saying among business men that there Is some chance to train a fool, but there Is no room Tor a liar, for you never can tell where you are, and we hereby serve notice on all the members of this ancient tribe ot Ananias that they uuiy follow their calling In other lines, but -when they put forth their lies about Grapc-Nutj and Tostum, we projose to give thea an opportunity to answer to the proper authorities. The New York girl wisely said that If a person would lie aoout one item, n brands the whole discourse as absolutely unreliable. Keep your Iron ready and brand these "mavericks" whenever you find them running loose.
