Bill Arp's Ideal Girl.

Here is Bill APPS bit of wisdom
that fits every cline, every race,
every nation and all time: "Once |
was young, but now / am old, and
never have seen girl who went
back on her mother who ever came
to be worth one-eyed button to her
husband. 1t is the law of God. 1t
is not exactly in the Bible, but it is
written large and lawful on the lives
of many mistit homes. If one Of
you chaps ever run across n girl with
face full of roses, who says to you
when you come to the door: q can
not go for thirty minutes, for the
dishes are not wiped you wait for
that girl. Sit right down on the
doorstep and wait for her, because
some other fellow will come along
and marry her off, and then you lose
an angel. Wait for her, and stick to
her like burr on n mules tail"

Parker is a Safe Leader.

Judge Parker's telegram declaring him
self for sound money has made such an
impression that hc may save the Demo
cratic party in spite Of itself The com
mcnts elected from all quarters show
that Judge Parker's action has won the
confidence of the people, and that sort
of confidence President Roosevelt has
not inspired. His Imperialism and his
dictatorial ways, together with his re-
vival of tho race Issue in the South and
other Rough Rider fads, have awakened
among the people q dislrust for Mr..
Roosevelt and the Republican party
quite as great as the distrust which Bry-
aniSm, sixteen to one ism, Populism and
other fieakish isms had excited with re-
spect to the Democrats.
Mr.. Roosevelt has the support of his
intimate friends and his political pro.
tegcs, but conservative people eye him
with distrnst They acknowledge that
he is irreproachabe as an individual
that he is a stanch patriot, a good hus-
band, a loyal friend. But they doubt his
capacity for self-control, dstrust his
judgment and question his conception of
presidential duties. Like the German
Emperor, he wishes to meddle in every
detail of the public service, to control
every department, to rule every official,
to be both the law-maker and the exccu-
ilNe, VI bp Jhe SOuTCe Ol power ana TO aD-
ply it.
between Mr.. Roosevelt's views of the
Presidents duties and the views of the
American people on that subject there is
very wide difference. He evidently
thinks the President of the United States
is sort of dictator, while the people
rightfully regard him merely as their
chief magistrate, as the executive head
of the administration. This domineer-
ing conception of his official duties has
excited widespread resentment among
Republicans and has led him to make
mistakes that would have prevented his
nomination if the Republican party had
had any other available candidate. AS it
was, however, he had virtually a walk
over, and the Democrats were entirely
ont Of the running until Judge Parker's
telegram to Judge Sheehan at the St.
Louis convention revealed to them that
they had candidate possessed of strong
sense OF craftsmanship. Before his ulti-
matum was delivered it was said i'm The
Herald that Judge Parker was the SER
want of the Democratic party, not it's
master. His telegram on tho gold aues-
ton proved the contrary. 1t showed
that the Democrats who had nominated
him, believing him to be King Log, had
really chosen King Stork What the
Democrats needed was u master. They
have found one in Judge Parker, and he
may yet lead them out of the wilderness.

Mortality Among Pensioners.

Washington, July 23.-Contrary to
general expectations, the forthcoming
report of Mr.. Ware, the commissioner Of
pensions, will state that the total num-
Der of pensioners on the rolls is stillles
than one million. AT the close of fiscal
year 1903 there were 996,545 pensioners.
MIR. Ware has not yot received the final
and official flgnres for the month
OF June, but from unofficial estimates
handed to him he believes that the record
for 1904 will be just about what it was a
year ago, and that the increase, If any is
small. There is only one thing that
keeps the total below one million, and
that is the heavy mortality among the
veterans. They arc dying off at rapid
rate, but their places are filed by pen
sioning widows and men with no other
disability than old age. More than five
thousand pensioners died during the
month of May and the monthly averages
will soon be six thousand. Commissioner
Ware says that if it were not for the
widows of old soldiers the pension roll
would shrink with regularity, despite
the operation of order No. rs.
