In looking over HISTORY the political history of the Democratic party of 1800, only 120 years ago, we find among other things the following in their national platform: We are opposed to linking ourselves by new treaties with the quarrels of Europe, entering their fields of slaughter to preserve their balance, or joining in the confederacy of kings to war against the principles of liberty. We wonder ,what the Democrats in Congress today think of the famous Democratic platform of 1800. In 1872 the Democrats adopted a platform containing the following plank : We regard a thorough reform of the civil service as one of the most pressing necessities of the hour that hon- esty, capacity, and fidelity constitute the only valid claims to public employment; that the offices of the government cease to be a matter of arbitrary favoritism and patronage ; and that a public station shall become, a post of honor. To this end, it is imperatively demanded that no president shall a candidate for ' f This plank of the platform of 187? has certainly warped out of shape. Times have changed, arid to one who is familiar with the work of the various departments of the govefn-meit is hardly possible to believe that the Democratic party could have ever adopted such a plank, especially when onr is reminded of such frenzied financing as that Mr. Burleson did in his recent juggling with the telephone and telegraph companies. But one does not have to go back as far as 1872 to become amused at the fiascoes of the Democratic party in drawing up their national platform.' Here Is what they declared and acquiesced to in 1912 : We favor single presidential term, and we pledge the nominee of this convention to carry out this platform ' promise. . In view of all that ha,s taken place even since that pledge was. made, one wonders what might come next; and then to turn back in historys pages to I860 and find this declaration in their platform, Democratic principles are unchangeable, the conclusion forces itself upon one that they are no longer governed by principles. To review this bit of political history is not only amus-inbut to one not familiar with the burlesques of the Bour-bo- n leaders, it must appear hazy, for there is, indeed, a ' ' tangle that .only the logic of a Peanut Pietro might be ap- Plied with any degree of. satisfaction, and then one would, we fear, be impelled to make Pietros familiar query, Wot nt g, YouTink? f E ' CjO Edited by the Executive Secretary el the Utah Public Health. Asb'b THE FUTURE WAS THERE less excuse for strikes and labor NEVER than in the world today for never was there so much work to be done at such high wages and short hours. But instead of contentment, we find discontent the world over. Instead of efficient work and a . . high state of production as a result of short hours and high wages we find inefficient work and decreased production per man and per hour. As a nation, we have been largely blinded by a false sense of prosperity. Due to the destruction' of industry m the rest of the world we have been able to sell our goods at our .own price and this price has been high enough to cover, the fictitious value placed on our commodities due ... to inefficient work, decreased production, high wages and short hours. We are blinding ourselves with' the idea that the rest of the world is dependent on us. We fail to recognize the fact that there are millions of people in Europe who have got to work to Kve and a country in this condition is going to 'produce and they are going to produce cheaper than the country which has been flooded with wealth. The rebuilding of Europe will be done on a much more rapid scale than has been generally estimated. About another year, or two at the outside, will see keen competition established from overseas. If we will trim our sails to meet conditions which we know will come and set our house in order against the day of competition we will change from an abnormal to a normal basis of prosperity with little difficulty. There is little prospect, however, judging from the ever increasing occurence of outlaw strikes of revolution-ary character, thkt the workmen of the nation will heed warnings or advice. This country is rich in money; there are unlimited opportunities for its expenditure in industrial enterprises which are needed, but due to continuous agita-- tion among the working classes land due to the continual falling off in production per man power this money is becoming harder to interest in industrial enterprises. Higher and higher interest rates are being paid to secure money - for investment purposes and our own government is now issuing treasury certifictes bearing 5 4 per cent in order . .'.w get money for operating purposes. There is a great difference between sober counsel and -calamity howling, but a nation that will not workand save must eventually, suffer. Unless we settle down, distress and want must come. And when it comes, it will not be a lack of money but a lack of the very materiSTs of life.
