Our strenuous campaigns. and the fact
that now and then we hammer man in
high office pretty savagely. do not prevent
the forming OF warm friendships and the
exchanging of cordial courtesies between
men of opposing parties.
Tonight in New York the Colonial Club
gives a dinner in honor Of Chief JUS
tice Parker. The organisation Is demo-
cratic. and the guest OF the occasion the
man whose name Is on 50 many lips now in
connection with the next presidential nomi-
nation Of that party. 1t is stated that the
affair has no political Significance. but this
plainly enough. is a harmless fiction. Judge
Parker undeniably deserves well Of his peo-
pie because Of his services on the bench.
but this dinner would hardly have been
arranged if political preferment had not
been suggested for him. People at dis
lance are manifesting interest in him. and
1t Is both timely and proper that his neigh
bors should testify in some public way to
their admiration Of the man.
Republicans are Joined with democrats in
paying the compliment. AS prominent a re-
publican leader as Frank B. Plat, son
Of the New York senator, is on the COM
mittee Of arrangements, and among the
not? They are merely testifying to their
personal regard for Judge Parker. They
have no thought of course of supporting
him in the event OF his nomination for the
presidency. They are republicans. and will
remain SO. They will probably exert them
selves to the utmost next year in behalf Of
the nominee of their own party. But,
doubtless, as speculation of an important
character is playing just now around the
name of their personal friend. they wish to
see his claim to attention fairly tested.
This Is all very American. and all very
we'll 1t is a good thing to see interest be-
coming active In the matter Of new demo-
cratic leadership. The mention of the
names of such men as Judge Parker and
Mr.. Olney in connection with a reorganized
democracy means revival Of the fighting
spirit of what was for so many years a
powerful organization. Mr.. Bryan, it is
true, polled a heavy vote in both of his
races for the presidency, but nevertheless
he was Overwhelmingly beaten. and his
party since then has been under spell Of
deep encouragement. 1t has offered but
feeble opposition anywhere outside of the
south to the policies of the republicans AS
vigorous opposition is helpful in a govern
ment by party. any sign that Organism is
losing its hold in this country is to be well
coined in the interests of good government
The republicans themselves should well

be observed. and the consumption Of ciga-
rettes declined In Consequence. greatly to
the betterment Of the public health. An
act passed last July repealed that sec
ton Of che Dingley act which comprised
this prohibition, and Immediately the pre-
MUM business was revived. Now the mar
ket Is beginning to show the effects of the
false stimulation OF the traffic afforded by
the pictures and the prizes, and It is to be
hoped that Congress will hasten to correct
the mistake which was for some mysterious
cause permitted to be made last year in
the repeal of this useful statute. Especially
is tt desirable that the law be re-enacted
as 1t is believed by many persons on sub
stantial grounds that certain brands of
manufactured cigarettes now in the market,
doomed by means OF premiums, are medi-
Gated with drugs which develop the taste Of
youngster for them and cause him to
smoke more and more. 1t is in this way
that the blighting cigarette habit is formed
by growing youths, infinitely to their phys
icai and mental and moral harm. If the
law will not absolutely prohibit the manu-
facture and sale, 1t should at least prohibit
these stimulating prize package methods OF
fostering the traffic.
