HE Democratic candidate has at last published his letter of ac- ceptance and it is subject to comparison with the letter of Presi- dent Roosevelt. The careful reader of both wiil not hesitate in ing up his judgment. Judge Parker condenses what he calls | issues, and mpon examination it will be observed that they are ¢ issues at all in the sense of being controverted matters of differ- | nce between him and his opponent and between the parties which respectively represent. s condensation he says: “The issues are joined and the | thi « t render the verdict: | economy of administration be derdanded or shall ex- e be encouraged? | 11 the wrongdoer be brought to bay by the people, or must on political oligarchy? i yur Government stand for equal opportunity or for special | in 2 Government of law, or become one of per-| to the rule of the people, or shall we embrace | " | thesc so-called issues has been answered by Presi- | In his annual message to the Fifty-seventh Con-| 1 special attention to the need of strict economy t that our national needs forbid us to be nig-, viding whatever is actually necessary to our well being us doubly careful to husband our national resources, as nds his private resources, by scrupulbus avoidance of 1 or extravagant expenditure.

Mont., May 27, 1903, he said: “This is not and never | Government of a plutocracy ; it is not and never shall be a! 1ent by a mob. - It is, as it has been and will be, a Govern- | ‘i every honest man, every decent man, be he employer | red, wageworker, mechanic, bagker, lawyer, farmer, be he: y. if he act squarely and fairly, if he do his duty by his | the state, receives the full protection of the law, and is st chance to exercise the ability that is in him, alone | ion with his fellows, as he desires.” ! » the same subject, he said in his “Strenuous Life,” | “There are not a few public men who, though they would ion the offer of a bribe, will give certain corpora- | re and executive privileges, because they have ampaign funds; will permit loose and extravagant rk because a contractor has political influence ; or at any rate will it a public servant to take public money without rendering ade- n, by conniving at inefficient service on the part of men otected by prominent party leaders. Various degrees of | are involved in the multitudinous actions of this kind, but, | or indirectly, every such case comes dangerously | ine of the commandment which in forbidding theft, | y 3 he 1 vorder cation forbids the connivance at theft or the failure to pun- y of any of us can be best attained by measures that will | the prosperity of all. The poorest motto upon which an| rican can act is the motto of ‘Some men down,” and the safest | ollow is that of ‘All men up.”” At Spokane, May 26, 1903, he | “We have the right to ask every decent Amfierican citizen to[ to the support of the law if it be broken against the rich man:}; we have the same right to ask that rich man cheerfully and| ; to acquiesce in the enforcement against his seeming interest | 1e law, if it is the law. Whether he acquiesce or not the law will | enforced, and this, whoever he may be, great or small, and at| whichever end of the social scale he may be.” And at Butte, Mont.,,} the next day: “In either case if he violate the law, the law is to be avoked against him, and in so invoking it I have the right to chal- enge the support of all good citizens and to demand the acquiescence of every good man. I hope I will have it, but once for all I wish it understood that even if I do not have it I shall enforce the law.” Judge Parker’s last query in the form of an issue goes to the question of imperjalism, related to the Philippines. On that subject le says in the body of his letter: “I am in hearty accord with that | plank in our platform that favors doing for the Filipinos what we | have already done for the Cubans, and I favor making the promise to | them that we shall take such action as soon as they are reasonably | prepared for it.” We gave Cuba self-government, with a guarantee of her inde- pendence by its protection through the power of our navy. In his annual message to the Fifty-seventh Congress President Roosevelt said: “In dealing with the Philippine people we do not | desire to do for the islanders merely what has been done for tropic peoples, even by the best foreign Governments. We hope to do for them what has never before been done for any people of the tropics— | to make them fit for self-government after the fashion of the really | free nations.” Where do the supporters of Judge Parker find the difference? THE DOUKHOBORS. HE members of that insane Russian sect, the Doukhobors, who Tsett]ed in Winnipeg, have been a problem for the Canadian au- thorities. Their fanaticism runs into extreme socialism and re- | ligious frenzy. They refused to pay for their land, resisted dispos- session, refused to work animals or wear wool or shoes, or anything | of amimal origin. Then they stripped naked in midwinter and started into the wilderness over the snow in search of the Messiah. | When overtaken by the Canadian mounted police they violently re- sisted attempts to put them under shelter and save their lives. It is announced now that they have deserted their homes and started on a march for the United States, and that the mounted po- lice are trying to turn them back. If they do wot succeed means | should be taken by our Government to meet them at the line and turn them back. There is no hope for such a pack of fools, and we do not want them added to our burdens and problems. We have enough difficulties resulting from promiscuous immigration, in thcI Mafia, Camorra and Black Hand societies, without adding these frenzied fools and ignorant fanatics. Their ideas of the rights of property are such that if they enter the country they will take whatever they can lay hands on and are sure to cause trouble in North Dakota, which is their probable objective. e e ——— A’ recent congress of geologists has agitated the digging of a mile-deep hole somewhere in the crust of the earth in order to discover what is down there.

Thom- as of New York. The boy fell from his wheel and Miss Thomas jumped to her féet arld seized him. Persons who witnessed the accident hastened to the young woman’s assistance, but she de- clined their aid, saying: “No, I am all right, but I intend to teach this youn- ster a lesson.” In a flash she threw the boy across her knee and gave him a severe spank- ing, after which she thrashed him soundly on the head and ears, warning him to be more careful in the future. Mosquito Plant. The mosquito plant is attracting much attention in England at present. An army officer, who secured one of the plants in Nigeria, states that it is Iused there as a defense against mos- quitoes. Branches of the plant placed here and there drive away the insect pests like magic. Billy and the Banknotes. Mme. Pacifique, a Paris lady, one day recently discovered her pet goat chewing a roll of banknotes which it had absfracted from her pocket. The goat wa$ killed and two'of the notes were found almost intact in its stom- ach. The others were reduced to pulp. Four to the Fore. ‘When recently the four daughters of M. Girard, a Normandy farmer, were married on the same day he in- vited 400 guests.

And the husband of the first ‘woman was immensely’popular with all her friends. Whenever they were out at dinner or at a soclal gathering he was the life of the party and all the other women rather envied her having such a congenial husband. The husband of the other woman was a failure as a social light. He could not talk to other women and he always trotted right aleng beside his wife du- tifully. All the other women envied her having a husband who was so de- voted to her. But the first woman was not satisfled with her husband because the rest of the women found him so agreeable. And the second woman was dissatis- fled with her husband because he seemed to be unable to hold his own in a social gathering. This teaches us—no it doesn’t. It simply leaves the poor husbands up in the air as usual. Beggars and Wishes. “What is that quotation about beg- gars? Something about ‘wishes’ and ‘horses,’ don’t you know?"” “Oh, yes. ‘If wishes were horses beggars would want automobiles. Catholic Standard Times. Government Trade Experts.

D A smartly dressed young woman in a tailor-made gown of blue that fit like a glove, a chic little hat that matched her auburn hair, and pretty boots with high French heel arted to cross th street at the intersection of Broadway, Sixth avenue and Thirty-fourth street at 6 o’clock last evening, says tbe New York World in a recent issue. She suddenly stopped in the center of the maze of street car tracks at that point and looked appealingly to an ad- miring crowd that soon surrounded her, A north bound Broadway car, a south- bound Sixth avenue car and a west- bound Thirty-fourth street car came up and stopped within ten feet of the blushing young woman. “Hey, git off the track and let us pass!” shouted an angry motorman. The pretty young woman blushed deeply and looked at him with scorn, but did- not budge. The crowd almost blocked the street when Policeman Walters, of the Broad- way squad, worked his way to thé wo- man's side. “What's the trouble here? Don’t you see that you are blocking the cars and causing a crowd to gather?” demanded the policeman. “Why don't you rum along?” “Oh, please don't talk rudely to me, Mr. Policeman,” answered the embag- rassed little woman. “Don’t you see that I am caught?” So saying she lifted her skirts just enough to show a dainty bit of lingerie and silk stockings. Her high heels were | securely wedged in the trolley slot. Tug as she might, the young woman could not release herself. “A delicate situation,” quoth the big policeman. “But you can't block the cars all night simply because your heels have caught In the trolley slot. The only way out of this Is to take off your shoes.” The young woman's face turned scar- let as Walters got down on his knees and began to unlace her shoes. Then he lifted her up in his arm$ and placed her in a waiting cab. It was an easy matter then to release the shoes. S \\{\‘.“‘ SR \&__.._ s - OISO Lt - l What to Wear. < | The speed of a Monon passenger train from Bedford, Ind., to Louisville proved infectious several days ago for 70-year-old Bernard V. D. Moere of Bedford proposed to 40-year-old Em- ma Andres of Haden, Ind., as the tel- egraph poles slid by, got her accept- ance, obtained a license when the train reached Louisville and found ! Magistrate Joseph Keyer a few min- utes later. They are now man and wife and are going to see the big af- fair at St. Louis. The two had been only slightly ac- Guainted before getting by chance on the same train. Moere is a veteran of the civil war and he boldly took a seat beside Miss Andres. Weather dis- cussion gave way to business talk that changed to tender passion remarks, and then Moere popped the question. Miss Andres was willing, and there you are. She Never Forgot the Lost Five. An Athison man, says The Globe of that Kansas town, lost $§ in making change and when he went home told his wife about it. This happened six years ago, and she has never forgotten it, often telling him what luxuries they could afford if he hadn’t lost the money. Last year their son dropped $2000 in a poor investment. “Don’t say a word to him about it,” she said to her husband. ‘‘Poor boy, he feels bad enough as it 1 A white-headed vulture taken in 1706 died in the zoological gardens at Vienna in 1824, thus living 118 years in captivity. + The Playwright — My new war ‘| drama is bound to be a hit. _ The Manager—Why?

She never wears soft satin girdles and ornamental belts with a shirtwaist suit. She wears a leather belt or a plain ribbon belt with a buckle. She never wears toe slippers and French heeled boots with a linen street suit. She saves the French heels and slippers for house and party gowns. She does not ornament her hair with bright ribbons and knots of chiffon when she is dressed in walking or business garb. She saves the chiffons and flowers and brignt ribbons for the ball, the theater, the dinner, the luncheon or for afternoon. She does not wear flower hats, chif- fon bonnets, lace hats or lingerie hats with linen suits. She wears the lingerie hat and all the others with organdie, lace, silk and satin gowns. ‘Women would look with disgust at the man who wore a dress coat with knickerbockers. The same women may be found guflty of appearing in com- binations even more glaring. “Little Italy.” Reporting upon the “Little Italy” oti one of London’s most crowded districts, | the health officer of the district says | that Itallans are ‘“generally superior to the English persons who are their neighbors.
