WILFRED JESSUP DRAWSPLATF0RW1 Will Endeavor to Have Republican State Convention Adopt It This Week.

IT PROVIDES REFORMS Stands for Corporation Commission and Commission Form of Government. Attorney Wilfred Jessup, formerly proBecutor of Wayne county, who has announced that he will support the Republican county and state tickets and the Democratic national ticket this fall, has prepared a platform which he will endeavor to have the Republican state convention adopt. Mr. Jessup will attend the convention as an alternate from the sixth ward of this city. His platform follows: The Republicans of the State of Indiana, in convention assembled, are not unmindful of the present condition of the public mind, and the deflection, which we trust is but temporary from the ranks of the party of many who have heretofore been actively associated with it. We are not here to condemn any man, or set of men, for pursuing what is in his opinion the course as will to the greatest degree promote the general welfare of all. We however do believe that the party which has for so many years accepted and discharged the obligations placed upon It by the majority of the electors, will not fail in meeting the obligations of the future. The precedents of the past are not to be lightly cast aside, nor should we in our desire and ambition permit ourselves to believe that by legislation alone is to be found the panacea for all public ills. We therefore propose that the candidates chosen shall be such as will appeal to the highest motives, and such whose character has heretofore been subjected to the strongest tests of enlightened citizenship. This state convention can only commit the followers of the party, and its official representatives to their course and progress along state issues. Too long and too much have the state conventions of all parties, our own included, contented themselves with proposals national and federal in character, leaving the questions at home to the mercy of the legislature without fixed policy or concerted action. This we trust we may help to correct. Now therefore in convention assembled, we submit herewith to the voters of Indiana, our platform for the campaign of the year 1912, and commit the representatives of the party and its candidates to the faithful, conscientious and continued effort, supported by the party at large, to carry into effect such platform by the enactment of legislation providing therefor, and the administration thereon of officers. National Problems. To the federal officers and repre-1 sentatives this convention leaves the solution of national questions; the proposed amendments to the constitution submitted for our approval, providing for popular election of United States senators, and Income Tax, we endorse and approve. State Problems. 1. This convention approves and endorses the legislation providing for public accounting now in vogue, refusing to endorse any amendments or changes which will in any wise hamper or reduce the efficiency of the laws regulating the same. Likewise is endorsed all legislation heretofore enacted providing for the handling of and guarding public moneys and the public depositaries; and the non-partisan supervision of our public- and state institutions; and this now fixed policy of administration shall not be changed with our approval. 2. This convention approves and endorses the general reformation of our present and antiquated and unjust laws of taxation, and proposes such system in lieu thereof as will bring about the uniform assessment upon all forms of property at its actual value, irrespective of the character of Investment. 3. This convention approves and endorses the creation of a non-parti-,8an Public Utilities Commission, the same having control and supervision of all public service corporations operating in this state; and the same providing for the publicity of all investments therein. 4. This convention approves and endorses the creation of a non-partisan Corporation Commission, having supervision of all private corporations organized or operating in this state; and the publicity of the assets of such corporations in such manner as will lessen at least, if not eliminate, the evils of stock-watering; and the same act creating such commission to provide for the reformation of the laws of the state controlling the organization, of corporations of private character. 5. This convention approves and endorses the enactment of laws providing ,for the Commission form of government for the municipalities of our state; the such plan as provided by the legislature to be optional in its adoption by the municipality, and of such elasticity in the powers of the municipality adopting same, as will provide the greatest local self-government to the particular community, consistent with local demands and conditions, and at the same time consistent with the basic " principles of our government. 6. This convention endorses and approves the enactment of proper laws providing for workmen's compensation; the better protection of the public health; the simplification of methods of legal procedure; and the upbuilding of the material resources ef the state. This convention recognizee n the, above propositions the

possible correction of the greater evils with which the state is at this time concerned; we further recognize the increasing and proper demand for the enactment of laws providing for the extension of franchise, the submission to the electors of pending or proposed legislation, the raising of the limitation of municipal indebtedness, etc., etc., and in conjunction therewith is recognized the changing character of our population, and likewise the changing character of the industries and activities of our people, all of which proposed legislation however, is dependant in so far as legislation carrying the same propositions into effect, upon several and various changes in our state constitution. This convention therefore, endorses and approves the calling together of proper constitutional convention as soon as possible after the conclusion of the legislature of the year 1913, at which time may be considered by the citizenship without the limitations of the spirit of partisanship such changes as are necessary and pertinent in our constitution, for the same to be in keeping with advancing thought, and which appeal in their justice and necessity to all, irrespective of party affiliation. WILKIE'S DECOY NOTE. It Proved Effective In a Boomerang Sort of Way. Chief Wilkie of the United States secret service arose In the National Press club recently and contributed this one to the awful experience fund: It happened when Wilkie was a reporter and was doing "night police" for one of the Chicago papers. There were two combinations of reporters, each trying to beat the other bunch. One night in a roguish effort to get rid of the opposition for awhile Wilkie wrote a note to himself, saying: If you will come out to my house about 12 o'clock tonight I will give you the full tacts about that story. Wilkie racked bis brain for a name to sign to the note and finally selected that of a friend who lived $8 worth of cab distance beyond the nearest street car line. He left the message lying carelessly on his desk at the Harrison street station and then walked up to the Dutcbmnne on the corner to await developments. When be returned to the police station the note was gone and also the opposition crowd of reporters. The desk sergeant said he bud seen them rush out In a great hurry after calling a cab. Next morning Wilkie's enjoyment of the joke was marred somewhat by the fact that the opposition papers each carried a big defalcation story that bis sheet and the others represented by bis bunch didn't have, and bis city editor was peevish. The treasurer of Smith, Brown & Co. bad sailed for the isle of whereabouts unknown with $18,000. Wilkie wondered and wondered how the story was dng up, but be was a long while finding oat One day some four months later he met the friend whose name be had signed to the joke note. "Did a bunch of reporters call on you shortly after midnight some months ago?" asked Wilkie. "Should yay so," replied the friend. "They utterly rained a fine nlgbfs sleep for me." "Did jou throw 'em oat?" Inquired Wilkie. "No; there were too many of them. I didn't see anything to do but tell them the story. They seemed to know about it, and It would have been printed anyway." "What story?" asked Wilkie. beginning to breathe rapidly. "Why, that Smith-Brown defalcation story." "And bow the Sam Hill did you know about that?" demanded Wilkie Irritably. "Oh, J was their bead bookkeeper." the man said. And Wilkie uttered a wild snrlek tor restoratives. Exchange,

The verger had seen a way to assist the church restoration fund by charging loyal parishioners a few pence each for the privilege of sitting for a moment in the place still warmed with the royal presence, and he wns astonished when the vicar sommarllj stopped the traffic

THEY TOOK HIS

But that Didn't Wipe Albert J. Beveridge Off the Political Map of Indiana. Well Known Woman Writer at Progressive Convention.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. Senator Beveridge's picture has been removed from the Republican headquarters in Indianapolis. So announced the state papers yesterday. This is an honor which this distinguished man richly deserved. For his picture to longer lend itself to the adornment of that house of dead men's bones would have been as fresh flowers in a tomb. Beveridge's picture can be taken off the walls of any old headquarters, but its original can't be wiped off the political map of Indiana. If it had been left to a popular vote of this commonwealth Beveridge would still be in the Senate instead of that political cad, John W. Kern. For the ex-Senator is the most popular public man in Indiana today. And he's popular because people believe him to be honest. What if he is an egotist? Isn't every man living an egotist? All of 'em are. And the majority without any reason or basis or foundation. Beveridge has something to be egotistical about. Besides that's no argument. Almost all those in the celebrated public eye or position of authority in connection with the administration of large affairs grow opinionated. The truth is that Beveridge has been the target for years of the most malicious and unrelenting abuse by the political machines of this State. And why? Because he is a really big man. He has intellectual initiative, originality, ability, talent and a brilliancy which has excited the envy of the mediocre. The assaults of the mediocre upon the superior have been animadverted upon often enough here. But this is a conspicuous example. Here was a man, who through sheer "native talent" and his own concentrated effort rose to a place of public power and honor in the state. And he was young. This was the unforgivable sin. Because it gave him ptcturesqueness and held his public magnetically. Youth Is the one glorious thing in the world. "What Youth Can Do," one of the greatest short stories ever written and by an American, Henry Fuller voices this inimitably. And because of this youth, brilliance and an honesty which could not be corrupted this man brought down on his ears all the maledictions of that vulture-crew which constantly hovers over and endeavors to man the famed ship of state. For years he has been the object of attack for that band of political cut-throats, highwaymen and assassins knows as the Fairbanks machine. Perpetuated for the projecting of its sponsor into the limelight and conducting, at its pleasure, the affairs of thi,s commonwealth. Fairbanks will go down the ages as the one great joke of Indiana. He is about as near statesmanship as we are to Mars. He bought his way into politics and stayed there the same way. His efforts to pose as a great man have been tbe most hilarious political episodes of his generation. One of the funniest things the writer ever heard was his speech before the first state convention of the Franchise League held in Indianapolis in April. It was like a noise from a hollow drum. Even if "hollow drum" may be a rank case of tautology. But the most superlative, amazing and extraordinary "feature" was his statement to the effect that "I bave never said anything behind a political opponent's back I would not have said to his face." Sundry of the audience rose to retire to the rear of the hall at this point fearing some accident to their various physical makeups when the elongated near-statesman was struck dead like his prototype, Ananias, and toppled destructively into their midst. And it is men of this ilk mediocre, ambitious and unscrupulous, who have been snarling and biting and snatching at Beveridge during his entire public and senatorial career. The whole pack has ever 'been at his heels. For there is no jealously like that of one man of another. Men roll the eyes to heaven and shake the flabbergasted head over the manifestations of the green-eyed monster among the feminine contingent. And, God wot, it is bad enough. But at least they go at it hammer and tongs. They don't caucus in cellars and back alleys and then slip up behind the envied one's back and stab him neatly and deftly under the fatal rib. The most debased and despicable object in the universe is a jealous man. Against youth and talent they will form in deadly combine. But "truth crushed to earth," etc. Chortling and grimacing over the final elimination of Beveridge from the political horizon, they now tear down his picture and throw It to the wolves. Or the rubbish man. In AFTER SHOPPING or after the theater there can be no more delightful way to complete the day and leave a pleasant feeling of satisfied enjoyment than a visit to our parlors where everything -is comfortable, harmonious and inviting.

PICTURE DOWN-

their rage over being as the villians are wont to say "foiled again!" We're all for Beveridge down this way whether we can vote or not. This morning's "Indianapolis Star" has what newspaper folk call a "special feature story" from Chicago about the Progressive convention written by Miss Anna Nicholas. While Miss Nicholas's name is doubtless not familiar to the readers of "The Star." it is a fact that they have read more from her pen than from that of any other person connected with this paper. For Miss Nicholas is one of the best known editorial writers in this country. And has long been writing many of the leading editorials for the Star. Previous to that, for the old Indianapolis Journal. She is, in addition, the literary editor of the Star and all the book reviews, and matters of that character published by this paper, are written by her. Miss Nicholas has also published a book of short stories, human and entertaining, which may, by the way, be found, the writer believes, in the Mor-risson-Reeves library. This writer is , indeed, in the volume and character of her product, one of the leading literary women of the United States, and her friends are glad to see her name "featured" by a paper to which she has given editorial and literary prestige. 9309-9224 A Most Attractive Seasonable Gown.
