HiLLES' PROGRAM MAKES IT EASY FOR THE DELEGATES CHICAGO, May 28. — Chairman Charles Hlllee of the republican na tional committee, today expressed the opinion that the platform which will be adopted by the national convention next month, will be unusually brief and will deal only with the most vital public questions. From information uc * 1 w "' and wlu doal only wlth the most vltfll i- , ; . . ... ... stained making ^^^tyleaders 0 " the subject, he be lieves the pr n c P^ 1 P lank « in . the plaUorm W,U ,n ' I dude the following: A statement on Americanism. ! A statement on preparedness for ! adequate military and naval defense. i a declaration in favor of a protec j tive tariff to be prepared by a non ' partisan tariff commission created by j congress with special attention to the | needs of industries of this country aft ; er the close of the European war. - . .. .. suffrage Chairman Hilles said there A declaration in favor of a mer chant marine. A statement dealing with the al leged shortcomings of the democratic national administration. On file question of national woman was a difference of opinion among the party leaders and he did not know what action the convention would take on the subject. In speaking of the probable action of the progressive national convention called to be held June 7 in Chicago, simultaneously with the republican national convention, Chairman Hilles sa ' d: . I imagine everybody assumes that 1 the progressives will nominate Roose velt for president. If the republican : convention adopts a straightforward, : sincere, ringing declaration on the vital public questions now being dis cussed and nominates a man clearly e( ,„ al to , he important tasks which ft thTnk\h^wouTd 'f » the republicans nominate a man * ll0m Mr - Roosevelt thinks is a mis fortune and adopt a platform which lu ' regards as 'bunk, he may feel so outraged as to run and perhaps help reelect President Wilson." | 1 I PAY A TRIBUTE (Continued from Page One.) American veterans, Sons of Veterans, Daughters of Veterans and members of the Women's Relief Corps, having seats on the platform. In this group was one old Indian fighter who helped put down the Indian uprisings during a period of a dozen years. The ad dress was preceded by an anti.era, "They That. Sow in Tears," by mem bers of the Presbyterian choir ami a duet, "Blessed Savior," by Mrs Saf ley and Mrs. Prouty, of the Methodist choir. Rev. H. P. Crego, of the Bap tist church, read the scriptures and offered prayer, while Rev. G. C. Creis. state superintendent of the Baptist work, offered the benediction. The offering was donated to a flower fund for the purchase of flowers to ho used in decorating the graves of old sol diers here today. Mr. Donaldson's theme was "A Sa lute to the Past, a Service for the Future," and he used as his text from John 4:38: "Other men have labored. we have entered into their labors." "It is well," said Mr. Donaldson, "to meet in memorial services for such anniversaries are divinely appointed teachers. Nothing educates like great emergencies and the history thereof. It has been well said that a land without memories is a land without liberty. That nation suffers a great calamity whose children are not taught to reverence the memories of her heroes. Sir Walter Scott pictures old mortality in the cemeteries of Scot land, rechiseling the names of Scot land's heroes. When asked why he did this he replied: 'That, the names of the heroes of yesterday may be fresh before the youth of today. No blessing has been secured for this land of ours without labor and sacri fice. That sacrifice is woven into the history of our flag. Our children should be taught to reverence the flag. The soldier boys of '61 fought 'neath its folds and gave the hill measure of devotion for its protection. No true American is willing to see that, flag displaced by a red flag nor dishonored in any waters. As some one has said: 'We should salute the flag whenever we see it, for such salute is but ac knowledgment of the labors and sacri fices which have made us a nation. The history of our country, is a story of struggle. Our forefathers who set tied this land to secure religious lib erty, found but a wilderness peopled with savages. It has been said they fell first on their knees then on the aborignees. When the struggle for settlement was over came the long years of the Revolutionary war and the struggle for independence. Then the war of 1812 that our citizenship might be respected. Then followed tiie war with Mexico, but paving the way for that long bitter struggle be tween North and South, that the Union might be preserved and the negro pet. free. The battle wounds scarcely healed when came the Spanish-Amer iean war, a war for humanity and a struggle that we might take our place in tiie council*, chambers of the na tions. Every step upward has been marked by labor and sacrifice. Other men labored, and because of it we today enjoy a glorious heritage. But not only have the soldier boys labored but also those who have remained be hind to keep the home, to care for the children, and to keep the factories open and the food supplied should have a share in the honor. Here in our own state the pioneers of yester day should be given credit for their struggles to open up the Treasure state. The old stage coach road' be tween here and Fort Benton speaks more eloquently than words concern ing the hardships of those days. To keep alive these memories of the past what a splendid thing it would be If the old postoffice, the old stage coach and other relics of pioneer days were donated to the city that they might carefully be preserved, "But as much as we may desire to honor the past there is a service to be rendered the future. The founders and builders of this republic hail lofty ideals in mind. They labored to bring forth a nation conceived In liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created free and equal. The war of '61 was fought to prove whether such a nations so conceived and so dedicated could long endure. And even today Lincoln's words arc true. It remains for us the living to dedicate ourselves to the task re maining before us, that under God this nation may have a new birth in free dom, that this government of the pen pie, by the people and for the people shall not perish from tiie earth. Not selfish enjoyment of our heritage, but constant effort to realize and ac tualize the Ideals of the fathers should be our aim and effort. These are days of stress. Never has our country faced more trying times. To hold a steady course is not easy. It is well to remember in times of political agitation the injunction: ■Don't rock the boat." There are tiiosc who would hurry us into war. There are those who selfishly say 'America First.' Only one cry is greater than that and that is: 'Humanity First. Thank God for the patience of Presi dent Wilson. There is also an effnrt being made to stampede us into a costly program of military prepared ness. We may need some such a pro gram, but we should guard carefully against a program fostered and engi. neered by the steel trust and the pow der trust. With three-fourths c f the world at war because of militarism it. is not for America to be swept into the same terrible maelstrom. Some say there is the threat of foreign in vasion. But as long as we deal justly and act honorably we need fear no such invasion. The restoration of the Boxer indemnity did more to insure a lasting peace with China than anv amount of military preparedness could do. If war is to cease, some nation must take the lead. Why not Amer ica? Why should not America say to ail the World: 'There is a better way to settle our difficulties.' That way is an international court of arbitration for alt questions and an international police power to enforce its decrees and say to any bellicose nations: 'Right not might shall govern in this quarrel.' " --.-O- WAR EXPOSITION. BERLIN, May 31.—The latest at traction at the "war exposition" which has been open for several months for charitable purposes are the chests and boxes that formerly contained the gold captured aboard the English ship Ap pam by the German auxiliary cruiser Moewe. The gold itself is safely lock ed up in the Reichbank, but at tiie in stance of the admiralty the huge bars were accurately copied in wood and gilded to have the appearance of the original. Then with the chests they were sent to the exposition as a re minder of the daring exploit of Count Doh n a-Sch lod ten.
