“Democratic incompetence" Big Issue in G. 0, P. Platform; Tariff Second
—CHAS. EDWARD RUSSELL
(This is the first of four articles In
which this noted political writer tells
what the party platforms will be like In
the coming election.)
(By Charlc3 Edward Russell.)
(Noted Amerirrn Politic*! and Economic Authority.)
Those crisp and pithy humorists, the
gentlemen that every four years frame
up for us our national political platforms,

the Republican platform, for instance. I

reasonable this Is will be seen from the
following outline of the points now- prac

Democratic incompetence! This will
l>e the big thing and painted in convinc

has brought ruin to the country and the
blus of shame to the cheek of every true
American. Never have Ihe affairs of the
nation and the Interests of the people
been so grossly manhandled. In every
department of the government and every
branch of its activities is to be seen
nothing but chaos, confusion, calamity
and convulsions.
This Is the good strong play and Is de
pended upon to snatch them baldheaded.
The tariff! This old friend, whom* bil
lowy whiskers the wind has lifted so
many years, will have a new application
as Illustrating the blighting effects of
Democratic Incompetency.
Thus, the depraved end stupid Dcmo

principle of protection that made this
country great, has brought upon our
country huge disaster. It has ruined #*..

this year. He was here for two lec

fourteen years experience on the plat

of literature enables him to make his
lectures artistic and full of color. His

The farmers! These will be shown that
the low- prices of their crops are the re

so tmproverlshed the nation that no one
can buy anything, and at the same time
has put farm products on Die frN list

evening program will start at 8:15.
The sale of the season tickets con
tinues with good results. The com
mittee from the Young Men’s Christian
Association announced today that
there are still a few of the original
thousand tickets . available at $2.50.
When these are sold the regular $3.00
tickets will be placed on sale. There
are always s, me who wait until the
last minute, and it is prettty certain
that there will be none of the $2.50 left
aafter Saturday noon.
By Buying Season Tickets You Will
Help the Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Hunter, of the Y. M. C. A. ex
plained yesterday that ho; commit'-e
had already sold enough of ihe season
tickets to cover the ;;uaianlee. nt.d
tthat from .tow on mere tw.uhl be a
profit to the Y. M. ('. A of one half . f
the sale price. There are :l g rod many
people who propose to take only a part
of the program and pay at the gate,
but these single admissions will
amount to the same or more than a
season ticket, and at the same time
tthe Y. M. C. A. shares only ten per
cent of these admissions. It is hoped
that the people of Augusta will show
their appreciation of the good efforts
of the Young Men's Christian Associa
tion in bringing to our city this won
derful program and will support It by
buying the season tickets, by which
plan they will be making a direct con
tribution to the Association of one
half of the purchase price.
Foreign policy! The Democratic admin
istration In this respect, will be covered
with burners. It has been weak, timid
and fiabby .about asserting American
rights and protecting American citizens.
Republicans from strong German dis
tricts are lying awake nights about this,
but the most they can get is a promise
that Mexico will be featured, and that
may take the curse off- -a little.
Preparedness! To ihe limit, the Demo
crats being neared for neglecting the na
tion’s defense.
Child labor will be denounced, but not
In a way to cause unnecessary pain.
There will be a ringing depuration in
f ivor of an American merchant marine.
Conservation, being a double-ended pet
ard. will be handled with discretion.
About one thing the authoritien dis
agree. A strong effort will be made to
get in a plank denouncing the DaFol
lette seaman's act and demanding Its
immeditae repeal. Some of the leaders
object; saying whet Is the use of
kicking labor in th‘- face when we arc
none too strong with it anyway. Put
others say that ran be fixed up with
planks about workingmen’s compensation
and immigration.
Some gentlemen want to roast the
Democrats for failing to keep ;helr plat
form pledges, but this is denounced as
unprofessional.

“WINDOW SHOPPING" FAVORITE PASTIME OF THE “VAMPIRE"

BY THEDA BARA.
(Written especially for The Augusta
Herald).
When one's fame has become a topic
of daily . conversation among movie
fans many sacrifices are offered as
penalty of that fame.
I have told how my personal liberty
has been curtailed. But I did not toll
of the foolish little weakness 1 have
not been able to indulge for more than
a year. I love to “look in windows.”
There the murder is out.
I can imagine no afternoon more fas
cinatingly spent than one that includes
a promenade with plenty of time to
look itt all the hats and frocks display
ed in the smart shops. Hut that is not
for me any more.
One day, in rather a reckless mood,
I told my maid I was going to dress
ineopicuously, wear a veil, and walk
to the modiste's instead of using my
car. She implored me not to. Hut l
did.
I was reveling in a display of even
ing gowns when 1 noticed a small wo
man and little girl beside me.
"I think it is," 1 heard the woman
say, "but Oracle dear, your sight is
better than mama's.
When the little girl pushed closed
to me to pronounce final judgment, I
fled with my maid at my heels utter
ing French equivalents for "1 told you
so."
Of all windows to loo*; In, my fav
orite is a jeweler's. The sparkle of
diamonds fascinates me. But only
through the window. I do not care for
diamonds as it personal decoration.
I have had many given me, but I wear
only one diamond-studded ornament;
the large, oval ring you will notice in
most of my pictures. It has wonder
ful associations that I do not care to
speak of here—and It is a talisman.

How the Texas Tube test *
happened!
IT nettled Bill Barr eonrUleraMy!
So many Motorist:; had carelessly staled
that "all Tire Tubes are Just Rubber.”
He determined to show some folks the difference,
in a way they would never forget.
There were four Cars at the door, arid their
Owners or Drivers at his elbow.
To these he said, -
"Hoys,—how strong do you think this Goodrich
Brown Tube actually is?
"Do you believe it. is strong enough to tow Mr.
Oden’s five passenger Car, with four pc. pic in it, for
20 blocks?
"You don’t, eh I
"Well now herc’r p bit of a Bet. I want to make

(more than a mile and a half)— -darting and slopping
as many times as the crowd make: it necessary.

THE Dinner was a very Cheerful Affair.

Mr. Zabriskie—Edward C. Zabriskie—is principal of
Washington Irving high school, which is in the city called
New York.
Mr. Zabriskie has lately been throwing a fit because of
what he terms the “inflammatory, unpatritic talk” uttered
at meeting of the Labor Forum in his hallowed hall of
learning.
Somebody at Labor Forum meetings distributed a cor
cular containing a poem written by a chap who killed a
man, it seems. (Could he be referring to Joe Hill, I. W. W.
poet, who at least was convicted and executed for killing a
man, whether he did it or not? (Somebody else had advo
cated birth control. But, horror upon horrors, somebody had
recited a parody on “America.”
Mr. Zabriskie may or may not be suffering from the
delusion that “America” is our national anthem—but, any
way, here is the “parody” that shocked him:

"Look you,” said he, "when we released the
load,—after the Haul, —they instantly snapped back
into just three-quarters of an inch longer than they

"And that % of an inch, they took up again in

about oil Tire Tubes being ’just Rubber,’ won’t it?”
"If the Brown Stuff that toted all you Heavy-
Weights,—and your Cars, —for 21 blocks, without a
Sign of Heavy Duty afterwards, isn't something MORE
tban 'Just Rubber,’ like other Tubes, —then you’d bet
ter buy the ‘Just Rubber’ kind hereafter.
"I’ni going to ask all of you to sign your names
to this Texas Tire Tulie Test,’—just to show that you
have taken part in a regular Exploit which is mighty
Well worth recording."
So indeed they did,—and here is the affidavit:
