The Platform.
Tho democracy of Ohio in conven-
Hon assembled announce the follow-
in? declaration of principles:
""Wo noto with satisfaction tho dc
termination of the national ndralnls
tratlon to purchaso supplies for tho
Panama canal In tho markets or the
world and not pay tribute to our pro-
tected monopolies. We tni3t that the
day may soon como when the common
peoplo of this country may enjoy
tho same privileges and not bo com
polled to piy tho manufacturers for
the necessaries or mo a nigncr price
than theso articles are sold for by
tho samo manufacturers to foreign
purchasera.
"Wo demand our representative In
congress to aid In tho enforcement
of such laws as will prevent all re-
bates anil secret contiucta by rail-
ways and will guaranty the samo
service to ovsry citizen.
"We favor tho conferring upon tho
lnter-state commerce commission the
power when it finds a rate unreasona-
ble to fix a reasonable rate.
"The democratic party pledges Its-
olf In the stato ehctlon. If success-
ful to uso its utmost endeavor to
eliminate the graft and political cor-
ruption that has been nourished and
fastened upon the state by tho re-
publican party In the last few years.
We have soon the blighting effect of
boss ride In ono of our cities and we
call upon the voters Irrespective of
party to unite In preventing Its per-
pormanent lodgment In control in our
btate- ..
"We believe In free and unqualified
homo rule frea from state Interfer-
ence each city town village shoulld
be allowed to decide for Itself all
matters of local policy especially as
between private and public owner-
ship of all public utilities Including
street railways as well as waterworks
and lighting systems and that pro-
visions should be made for submit-
ting such questions to the peoplo up-
on request from a reasonable number
of voters and at such elections tho
votes of the majority shall decldo.
Such public ownership should be
mfe-guarded by the merit system of
appointment and tenure ot office so
as" to pi event the building up of po-
litical .tnuchltW3 and! the pwrpetwu-
tlon of boss rule.
"We desire that too present law3
for assessing the property of steam
railways ami other public service
corporations should be so changed as
to compel the as3lgnra!ent of these
proportlo3 at jipt les . than their
salable value and to prevent their
evasion ot Just taxation.

TO DISBURSE SCHOOL FUNDS.
Beginning July 1 Superintendent
Benedict Becomes Agent.
Muskogee I. T. June i!. Begin-
ning July 1st. Superintendent Bone-
ijlst 'will ihoionio itUburKlug agent
for tho school fund of Indian Terri-
tory In addition to his duties as su-
perintendent of IWritorlnl (ihools.
He will handle about $500000 a month
and will pay nil teachers as well as
other expenses of running the schools.
Heretofore this work has bton done
by the Indian agent but It was found
that It was difficult for the aent to
pay ttj teiUJhors promptly jon act-
count of the many different funds he
was requlrul to handle. Superinten-
dent Benedict will be allowed to em-
ploy two extra clerks for tho dis-
bursing work. Warren Butts and Wal-
ter J. lolrd have been designated by
Mr. Bei(?rilct for theso positions.
It Is very probable thnt tho dis-
bursement of tile school funds for the
Chickasaw Nation will be added to
Superintendent Benedict's duties
since the school warrant ftauds have
developed. Up to the printout tlnm
tlie Chickasaw -have flatly refused to
allow the United States government
through Superintendent Benedict to
have nnythlng to do with the payment
of l-eacher or disbursement ot school
funds In their Nation.

"Moreover from tho general opin
ion which can be formed at Uie trial
the impression la current that tho
government will make good alt theso
warrants Uiht have been twice Is
sued. This was done onco before
about eight or nine years ago when
tho Creek and Cherokee warrants
were twice Issued to the extent of
about $1)0.000 and when tho govern-
ment made good tho loss to innocent
purchasers.
"These warrants you understand
were Issued to teachers school em-
ployes and to those connected wltli
the Chlckatuw school system gener-
ally. I purchased qulto a quantity at
an average of about 89 cents on the
dollar but I have hid them for two
years now and am losing Interest on'
tUsm each day.
"When President Roosevelt signed
the appropriation bill March 1 pro-!
vldlng for tho payment of tho tribnL
warrants the bill contained a cliusoj
providing for Imraedlato icdemptlon.
Secretary Hitchcock's reason for do-
laying payment Is that J. Blair Shoen-P-'lt

his resignation to take effect July 1.'
This de'.ay Is CQ3tlng innocent hold-1
ers of theso wu rants much oxpens-j
and general loss.
"Ono thing I may horo not? that
each batch of certificates purchased
by mo was accompanied by a state-'
ment from tho tribal accountant stat-'
ing that they wero regularly Issued
and unpaid. Inasmuch as the books
wore In his offlco we naturally pre-
sumed that this was correct and
bought them. I
"Prior to tho withdrawal of the!
recent $300000 from the uccount of
tho Chickasaw Nation their bank u;-
count stood at $1250000. The ground)
on which the Idea prevailed that thei
ro-Issued warrants will bo paid Is thei
fact that tho government Is guardian'
for tho Indiana nnd will look after
th'elr affairs.
"Indictment of the various men ac-
cused with complicity In the matter
will T understand be contested on
the ground that the tribal court3
shopld have passed on the affair In-
stead of the federal courts."

IMPORTANT
DECISION
UNION HAS TO PAY A BIG DAM-
AGE SUIT.
Because He Discharged a Non-Union
Man Upon Demand of a Union.
Berry the Non-Un'on Man
Recovers $1500 Damage.
Boston. June . A labor decision
of fnr-rtiichlng Importance was ron-
dered today by the full bench of the
Massachusetts supreme court In the
m of Mitchell F. Btrry vs. Jerry
I-:. Donovan. It Is held that a labor
union nnd Its members nu not J is-
tilled In law In procuring tlio ills-
charge of a fellow workman because
he Im not a member of their union in
an attempt by them to obtain thu ad-vantaget-
of their union contract with
his and their tmployer.
Berry a non-union sIkk maker sued
Donovan n member and officer of the
Boot und Fhoo Workers' Union for
ilsmngta for procuring his discharge
frmi employment by llascu B. Good
rick & Co. of Havervllle. because he
was not on? or their union.
The firm had made a contract with
the union not to employ nny except
Its members and not to retain In Its
employ innyone objectionable to tho
union. Aftr the contrract was made
Donovan asked for Berry s dlschnrgo
and the non-union man was dismiss-
ed. Recovers $1500 Damages.
Berry. In the superior court recov-
ered a verdict for $1500 against Don-
ovan ami today's decision of the ap-
peal holds that Berry Is entitled to
collect. Donovan's action Is hold to
lit unlawful and unjustifiable Inter-
farenco with Berry's right to employ-
ment with the firm oven though the
concern couM dlfchnrge hi in at will
he not having had nn written or oral
t-ontiact for any definite period.
Donovon contends his cour.?'' was
Justified becnupo he acted In furth-
erance of the contract made by tho
union with tho firm. He based this
upon th'' ground that his action waa
a kind of competition between union
hMp on one side and non-union on th
other side or between employes on
tho ono hand and employers on the
other. But tho court holds tint this
act or object was not competition
but monopoly which Is against the
policy of the law and unjustifiable.
Aim Is Monopoly.
Relative to the last kind of com-
petition as a Justification for the de-
fendant's action tho court says:
"The gain which a labor union may!
oxpact to derive from Inducing others!
to Join It is not an Improvement to j
be obtained directly In tho conditions
under which the men are working but
only adds strength for such contests'
with employers as mnr arise in the
future. If such an object wore treat-
ed as legitimate and allowed to be
pursued to Its complcto accomplish-
ing every employe would be forced
Into membership Into a union and the
nntnnn liv n combinations of those
In different trades and occupations I
would ban? compete andi nbsoluti
control of all the Industries In the'
country. Employers would bo forced
to yield to all their demands or give
up business. '
"Th attainment of such nn obj'ot
In Mi struggle with employers would
r.ot bo competition but monopoly. A
monopoly controlling anything which
the world must liavo It fntal to pros-
perity. CREATED A SENSATION I

lieves that Intoxicating liquors ard
balng unlawfully sold at a certain
place describing that place that" the
Judge shall issue a warrant requir-
ing the sheriff to search that plme

ed the stocks away.

FATE AGAINST
PATRICK
CHANGE DEPRIVES HIM OF LAST
CHANCE FOR LIKE.
May Dc Executed Now Motion for
Stay of Execution Will Have to
be Made to Recorder Goff
Conducted the Trial.
Mew York June 20. Ijiwynrs who
Imvu followed the case of Albert T.
Patrick the convicted murderer ot
William Marsh Rico have made tho
curious discovery that the Kqultablo
Assurance society muddln has created
a situation that Is ot vital Interest
to Patrick mitl which may rosnlt lit
his execution on the date set August
8. This state of nffalrs was brought
about by tho action ot District At-
torney Jerome after he had decided
to stud 111 testimony ndillieed by
Supwlnteuiient of rnsurnnce Hend-
ricks in his examination of Kqultnble
officials.
The district attorney decided that
If be found nnythlng of a criminal
nature In tho testimony he wouldd not
l.te free to net tin loss ho had ono ot
tho parts of tho court of cenornl ses-
sions nt his disposal.
Part four was to bo adjourned for
the summer fit tho end if tho Jun
term. Recorder Goft wn providing In
thnt part. Tho district attorney tlioro-
for. decided that tho recorder would
be Just the one of whom to nsk that
his part of tho court bo continued In-
definitely or until such time as tho
district nttornoy should havo oppor-
tunity to (lochia If ho would Instl-
tuto criminal proceedings against any
of the I?iiiltable officials and Judge
Goff granted the requost.
That Ills net Ion wait fatal to th" In-
terest of Patrick was not thought of
ut tho time. Later however shrewd
Inwyeri); ln looking over Patrick's
ohances fur a now trial or a 3tay of
execution suddenly awoko to tho fact
that the action of tho recordor In
granting tho request of tho district
nttorney meant moro to Patrick than
any on on earth. Tho reasons for
this prcullnr phase of tho caso nro
tcuud In tho fact that Patrick was
rltd and convicted beforo tho record-
er. With the recorder practically on
tho bench any or all motions for a
trial or a delay of exocutlon must
bo made to him. aa ho presided at tlm
trial. But for the fact Uio motion for
a now trial might bo made by David
B. Hill counsel for Patrick beforo
any justldo of tho supremo fcoitrt
Thoy nro not familiar with tho caso
and would haw to go over all tho
papers as submitted to tho appellate
division and tho court of appeals.
A motion for a now trial before a
Justice of tho supromo court there-
fore would act as a stay of execution.
The recorder continuing his term of
court Hill Is not permitted by law t
go beforo any othor Judge Tho record-
er has all Uio details of the Patrick
caso at hand and should a motion bo
made before him ho would bo ablo to
decide tho matter promptly
and before the datfl set for Uio oxo-
'itl m of Patrick by tho court of ap-
peals:. What Hill means to do under
thfse clrcumstiinces Is not known.
IMPORTANT DECISION.
Allottees Have No Title To Lands
Until Patent Is Issued.
An Important caao came up beforo
Judgo Dlckerson recently. It was tho
Tuttle townslte matter and tho de-
cision rendered Involv3 many points
of great Importance.
Tho Tuttlo townslto conslstejl of
90 acres ot a "dead Indian allotment
and 30 acres ot Intermarried surplus.
The certificate ot allotment to tho
daid Indian land was Usued April
23 1904. E.- jrXwikfc ot Oklahoma
City purchased the land from minor
heirs and had It aurvoyed und platted
for private townslto purposes.
On May 23 1905 tho secretary of
tho Interior segregated the land as
a government townslte Dowdkm.
through his attorney Bond and
Melton sought to enjoin tho townslto
commission. Tho commission filed a
demurrer which was presented today
by Albert Rennle assistant district
attorney.
After rehearing the arguments ot
the tUUoHay the Juiga sustained
tho demurrer on the ground that In-
dian allottees In tho Chickasaw and
Choctaw Nations take no tltlo to their
lands till patents aro UsuoJ delivered
