Strange Songs of Birds.

Scott, of Princeton, continuing
his experiments on the songs of
various species of birds, during the
past year obtained some nestlings
Of bObOlinks and red.winged
blackbirds, and reared them
where they could hear the songs of
many other kinds of birds, but not
the songs of their own species.
After his birds had grown he
placed competent judges of birds
songs within hearing, but not
within sight of them, and asked
what the birds were to whose sing
ing they were listening. in no in
stance was the song recognized,
and in the case of the bobolinks.
in particular, an expert was Who'll
ly unable to form an opinion as to
what birds were producing the mu-
sic, although the singing was
loud and brilliant.-Youth's Com

A PHOTOGRAPHIC SURPRISE.
Unsuspected Tumors Revealed in
Woman's Foot While Search
ing for a Needle.

Photographs are often taken

certain the exact position of buzz
let. needle or some similar object
which may have found its way into
the tissues. Metal casts as dense
shadow as bone, while the OBJ
scuratiOn due to flesh and skin is
comparatively slight. ~ r *
A Cleveland expert in that class
of work was visited by the patient
fOf another physician recently up
on the latter's recommendation
with a request that he make Il
"radiOgraph' of her foot. She be-
lieved that a needle had worked it's
way into that member. At any
rate, something had caused more
or less pain for years, although
there was no outward sign of an
injury on the sole. The picture
was taken and, sure enough, there
was a narrow, black line visible in
it, which was not due to bone. 1t
lay right between two bones. The
needle was subsequently removed
by surgeon. However, the radio
graph also revealed two other
things which nobody had suspect
ed. They were small, hard tumOrs
adhering TO the bones, and prOba-
bly, caused by the needle. They
were taken out also. The young
woman can now walk with more
comfort than for several years
past.

into the judiciary. From 1885 to the
present time Parker has been Judge.
Also, he has been jurist. He has
drawn so far away from politics that
his decisions are developments in
jurisprudence and not incidents in
party warfare.
Nevertheless his political strength
has remained unattenuated. In 1897
he was nominated by the Democrats
for the Office of chief judge Of the
court Of appeals, the highest judicial
Office in New York. In 1896 Mckinley
had carried New York state by 26s,OOO.
Parker annihilated this majority and
created counter majority of 10000.
He is the only Democrat who has been
elected to state Office in New York
since 1891.
''Parker's immovable stability on
the bench has been open to only one
doubt. In the case of the law which
provided for the payment Of 1.-THE pre-
vailing rate of wages" in municipal
contracts, in the case of the law which
provided for the regulation of child
labor, in the case Of the law which
limited the number of hours during
which bakers might work, and in other
cases of similar import, Parker has
held that such laws We're valid, and
that in putting them OH the statute
book the state had not exceeded its
constitutional powers. The impression
left upon some minds is that Parker is
temperamentally inclined to the pas
sage of laws for the relief of labor.
IF his decisions on labor laws be
compared, however, with his decisions
on other laws that have nothing to do
with labor, il will be found that his
refusal to declare labor laws uncon-
stitutional has it's basis not in econo-
mic but in strictly legal predictions.
Parker seems never to declare a law
';""asttutional if he can help it. He
is enc of those judicial Journalists
who find their chief happiness in de-
nouncing law on insurance because
it conflicts with a constitutional
amendment on slavery. 1t is doubtful,
therefore, if either labor or capital will
be able to show that Parker, in the
whole course of his judicial career,
has been actuated consciously or I'M
consciously by any opinions other than
those of student of the history of
law. 1t was simply because of his
Discrimination to allow the legislature
to be continually cramped by the
judiciary that Parker upheld the con-
sttutionality of the labor laws of New
York.
"As a citizen and a jurist, Alton 3.
Parker has been upright, clean mind
cd and honorable. The Democratic
party has done we'll in presenting to
the country candidate of such per-
Sonnl rectitude''
Coming from Il Republican news
paper, the foregoing editorial is a re-
markable tribute to the Democratic
candidate.

THE VICE PRESIDENCY,

Some of the early comments of the
press relative to ex-senator Davis, the
vice-presidential candidate, show a
lamentable lack Of knowledge of our
public men. Instead of being an I'M
known Senator Davis is one of the
most notable as we'll as prominent men
in public life. For forty years he has
been prominent in the politics of the
country. He served two terms in the
United States senate and refused a
third term. His refusal of the senator
ship would alone be sufficient to make
him notable, for there are few men
indeed who would refuse to go to the
United States senate. Mr.. Davis was
prominently mentioned in 1884 for the
vice-presidency, but he threw his in
tluence to Thomas 4. Hendricks. He
has attended seven national conven-
tons of his party as a delegate. AL
though 81 years of age, he is still
actively engaged in the management
of his great business interests. His
business connection and the fact that
Senator Elkins, the Republican boss
of West Virginia. is his son-in-law,
and his own acknowledged popularity
in the state will make West Virginia
almost surely Democratic. While we
should have been better pleased to
haya tha second nlaca 90 tO t1,a
west Or middlf west, yet we recognize
the fact that Senator Davis business
and family connections and his long
and active public career will render a
state. which before his nomination was
at most only doubtful. now certain for
the ticket. On the whole. his selec-
ton made in the early hours of SUN
day after four days struggle, was
creditable to the tired delegates and
will result in much good to the party.

SOUTHERN LEADERS.

1t is undeniable that the Southern
Democrats show a special aptitude for
leadership. Although the south casts
less than one-third of the total Demo
cratic vote of the country, it furnishes
the men who control the party. Will
liams of Mississippi, was temporary
chairman, and Clark of Missouri, per-
manent chairman of the recent con-
vention. Daniel of Virginia, was
chairman of the committee on plat
form, Head of Tennessee, chairman of
the committee on credentials, and
Dinsmore of Arkansas, chairman of
the committee on permanent organize
ton. Littleton, now of New York, but
a native and former resident of Ten
nessee, named Parker for president.
When the great crisis of the conven-
ton came on Saturday night, it was
the superb tact and leadership of John
Sharpe Williams which rescued the
convention from confusion and the
party from irreparable embarrassment
He, together with Bailey of Texas,
Tillman of South Carolina. Daniel of
Virginia, and Carmack of Tennessee,
are the leaders who made united
party possible. The conclusion is IT.
resistible that Southern Democrats
show greater aptitude for leadership
than their northern brothers. Before
the war there We're apparent reasons
for this same situation, which then
also existed. The south was then
wealthy and was the most populous
and influential section of our country.
But all this is now changed. The
great development of the north and
west has left the south with less than
one-third of the Democratic vote of
the country and still the southern lead
ers run Democratic conventions, SIM
ply because they are the best fitted to
lead.

CHURCH MUSIC.

The decision of Archbishop Farley
that non-Christians shall not be en-
ployed in the choirs of the Roman
Catholic churches Of this diocese is a
bclated return to long established
tradition which will win favor among
the faithful of every Christian fold,
says the New York Sun. 1t is in line
with the PRONUNCIATION of the Pope in
regard to the use of the older style
of music in the sanctuary. The first
six centuries of the development of
modern music We're occupied wholly
with the building up Of liturgy for
the Church of Rome. The rearing of
the imposing musical structure which
reached it's glorious completion in the
masterworks of Palestina and I.asso
was entirely in the hands of profess
sional musicians. but they We're all
trained in the traditions and tenets of
the Catholic church.
In the year 314. Pope Sylvester
3G7. the council of Laodicea forbade
congregational singing and confined
| the vocal music entirely to the trained
choir. Not till the era of the Reforma-
! ton, when the influence of congrega-
tiOml singing in the new movement
| was palpablc. did the fathers of the
|
factor in the liturgy and then the
movement was only in the direction of
simplifying the music so that the text
could I've understood.
In those days the professional musi-
clans of the church were all its chill
dren. Music was confessedly the
handmaiden of religion. But in the
course of time the effect of profess
! sionalism in the choir loft was such
as to bring music to the condition of a
performance rather than an integral
part of the service. One abuse of
which the present Pope complains, the
introduction of ornate and incongruous
music into the service, is direct re-
suit Of the ambition Of professional
musicians of one class or another to
exploit their abilities. The employ
ment of nom Christians, when they
chance to be fine performers. is quite
in keeping with the rest of the move
| ment.
To be sure. many of the greatest
musicians who ever lived have not
been Christians. The question is, of
course, not simply whether those in
choir lofts make good music, but
whether it is not impossible for them
to be in spiritual accord with the
service in which they take part. Is
not their share in it merely paid

land, which latter state is again reli-
ably Democratic. Add to this the
seven votes of West Virginia and
Delaware's three and we have 1853
votes. The two latter states are al
most surely Democratic this time, be-
cause Of the renewal of the race ques-
ton and the nomination of Davis for
vice-president. If to these reasonably
sure Democratic votes can be added
the IS votes from the doubtful states
of New York, Indiana, Connecticut
and New Jersey, the Democratic ticket
will have 242 votes, or three more than
necessary to elect. If on the other
hand the Democratic ticket should
hold the votes of the following noun
tain states, which voted for Bryan in
1900, to-wit, Colorado, Montana, Idaho
and Nevada with fourteen votes, the
Democrats could still lose either In
diana or New Jersey and win. 1t is
altogether probable that the Demo-
Gratis will carry Colorado, Montana
and Nevada with eleven votes and lose
Idaho with three votes because of the
anti-polygamy plank in the Democratic
platform. All that can be safely said
is that the Democrats must have New
York in order to stand any show,
while the Republicans can win with
out New York. In order to win with
out New York it becomes almost a
necessity for the Republicans to carry
Indiana. If they lose both New Yorl,
and Indiana, they are almost certainly
defeated, while they might be defeated
and still carry Indiana. While we
have not had the political experience
of Mr.. Payne we submit that our arith-
metic is much better than his.

performance? Certainly the Christian
church in its earlier days was con-
WINGED that it ought to train its own
singers and organists and that they
should be devout believers. They
We're as much part of the personnel
Of the church as the clergy.
If Archbishop Farley is seeking to
return toward this condition, neither
sound Catholics nor pious Protestants
will find fault with him, although his
action may rob some churches of dis
tinguished singers or accomplished Or
ganists.

John R. Walsh, owner Of the Chica-
go Chronicle and president Of the First
National Bank of Chicago, has decided
that his paper-the Chronicle-shall
follow his vote into the Republican
party. After vainly trying for several
years to drive Mr.. Bryan out Of the
Democratic party, Mr.. Walsh has
taken his baggage and gone into the
Republican ranks in name as we'll as in
fact. The party was not large enough
for him and Mr.. Bryan. The recent
change is nominal only. The Chronicle
has been against every Democrat in
the country except Grover Cleveland.
When paper finds itself opposed to
every man in a party except one, it is
time for It to get out. The peculiar

PAYNE AS A CALCULATOR.

The dope calculators have already
started in to figure out the way the
electoral college will vote on the can
,lidates now before the people. Post
master General Payne is entitled to
the record of being first in the field.
While we are ready to concede that
Payne has had much experience in
politics. we cannot agree that he is
good on mathematics. He is quoted
as follows:
II do not see how it is possible for
the Democratic ticket to be elected.
Mr.. Davis was undoubtedly nominated
for the purpose of carrying West Vir
ginia and Maryland for the Demo
Gratis. 1t was a clever move on the
part Of the party managers, but be-
lieve West Virginia is solidly Repub-
lican.
"Since the ticket was nominated,
have desc some figuring on the cleo
toral vote. 1t requires $50 votes to
elect president and vice president
Exactly this number of votes can be
safely counted for the Republican
party. OF the remaining 23s electoral
votes, seventy-eight must be placed in
the doubtful column. OF the doubtful
votes, the Republican party will secure
at least one-half, and While l do not
wish to appear too enthusiastic, l do
not believe it possible for the Parker
and Davis ticket to win.
I'm my calculations l have given
New York, Maryland and New Jersey
to the Democrats. OF course we do
not concede New York to the Demo-
Gratis. but my figures show that Roose-
welt can be elected without the En-
pire state. New Jersey will certainly
be found in the Republican column
when the votes are cast, and while l
have placed West Virginia in the
doubtful column. it is safely Republic
can. Connecticut will also be carried
by the Republicans. and the same is
true of Colorado. Idaho and Utah"
conveniently figures out 239 votes for
the Republican candidates. leaving
23S. as he says, as either Democratic
or doubtful There are 476 votes in
the electoral college, and if, as Mr..
Payne says, there are 23S votes Dem
ocratic and doubtful, there are just
23S for the Republican candidates, or
just one less than enough to elect. 1t
cannot be possible that Mr.. Payne,
who is one of the main cogs in the
Republican machine, has already COM
menced to figure the Republican party
in by adding to the electoral college.
We know that just twenty-eight years
ago the Republicans counted their
candidate into office by stealing the
electoral votes of Florida, Louisiana
and South Carolina, but it would be
novel at least to stuff the ballot of the
electoral college.
Coming down to real figures. it is
mighty hard for the Republicans to
take any great amount of pleas
ure out of the present situation. The
Democrats are absolutely certain Of
159 electoral votes made up Of the
votes Of the southern states, which
voted for Bryan in 1900, and Mary.
The Irish standard., 1904-07-16

thing, however, about the Chronicles
action is that it announced its change
just at the time when there was the
least reason therefor. We suspect that
the Democratic platform which pro-
poses to treat labor fairly had more
to do with the Chronicles action than
any other one thing except Mr.. Bryan
The Chronicle has had two bogies for
a long time-Mr. Bryan and labor or
