Judge Parker Not to Go Stump

ing.
It is very gratifying to many, perhaps
a vast majority, Of the friends of Judge
Parker to know that he has finally de-
cided not to appear upon the stump and
to make no set speeches IN the cam
paign. History proves that 1t is not well
for a candidate for the high Office Of
President of the United States to go
around making stump speeches in his
own campaign. Such OF che aspirants
for tho exalted office Of President as have
done so in days past have Jared badly
at the polls on election day. Fifty or
more years ago Alexander II. Stephens, OF
Georgia. said OF Henry Clay: THAT man
Clay can get more men to hear him
speak and fewer to vote for him than any
man in America :" That was true. and
the same has been true OF other oratorcal
aspirants to the presidency since Henry
claysH day.
On tho face OF the proposition 1t would
seem that there can be no harm in a
presidential candidate speaking to tho
people just as candidates for other offices
always do. and unaues tionably when presl-
dental candidates are announced to make
speeches from The stump they can rely
upon being greeted by large crowds. But
in spite of this there is an under-current
OF sentiment among American people that
n candidate for. the highest office within
thei. gift compromises his dignity and
the dignity Of tho position that he holds
as candidate when he appears upon the
hastings. For this reason. and this is a
sufficient reason, VIC arc glad that Judge
Parker has finally decided not to take the
advice Of those who would have him
make a speech-making tour.

Gambling and Ruin Again.

HE who hasteth to be rich shall not DO
guiltless." said the writer Of the book
OF Proverbs, and chat observation is as
true to-day as 1t was when originally
made. But, like most moral observations,
1t requires a demonstration in order to
impress its truth on each succeeding age,
generation and person.
Young Frank O'Donnell, the eighteen
year-old embezzling clerk, who yearned
for success as a bookmaker, is the pres
ent bright and shining example Of the
sin Of gambling and the slipperiness Of
the path to sudden wealth. Frank be-
gun by raising checks and playing the
races and before he got through he had
committed forgery to the amount Of
100000 and, as in every such case, he
found himself at the end in the clutches
Of the law with his money gone, his char
acter ruined and q sentence in the State
pententiary staring him In the face.
There is a fearful fascination about bet
ting on horse races, and. taken with the
desire for sudden wealth. It Is not hard to
see why so many young men and young
women, too, fall into evil ways. Gambling
on horse races is the greatest curse In
England to-day. not excepting the liquor
traffic. The time will como when the
racing trust Of New York will have to
stand UP before the bar Of public scnti-
ment and be Judged along with the rest
of the organized efforts for making money
out OF the weaknesses, Sins or hecessi-
ties of others. In thot3meantime thou
sands Of men are annually ruined because
the corruptble and corruned Legislature
of New York will not enact proper laws
against race track gambling.

i France and Our Cotton.

3 France feels deeply tho menace OF
American competition In the field OF cot
ton manufacture. Recently a lecture was
given before the Marselles Chamber Of
Commerce by NJ. Boudarie. who argued
for the immediate DEVELOPMENT Of a,
source for the supply Of raw cotton In
the French dependencies At present
France has over 100000 spindles. los 900
looms and spends nearly SEC, 100000 a year
for raw cotton. Rut tho growth of tho
American consumption OF cotton from
2.250,o0O bales IN 1893 to nearly 100000
bales in 1903 has shown the French that
America will not BIO satisfied until she
manufactures her own cotton Mt home.
Az over 10000 people are employed in tho
cotton manufacture in France. the q,les-
ton Is an urgent one. M. Boudarie said:
'''This danger may be met very simply
by the full utilization OF our colonial tori
ritories naturally adapted to the culti-
walton OF cotton. The French colonial doc
main is vast and varied, and In most OF
our colonies cotton grows spontaneously.
The other great European nations, under
the same menace, are making efforts to
escape the. danger. Russia has cotton
fields in Turkcstan, the production OF
which Is being increased by every means.
England possesses India and Egypt, but
the cottons produced in these countries
are employed for special purposes. The
British domestic industry would SEQ
itself similarly doomed II England had no
other territories She has found them IN
Western Africa, where she pursues expe-
rments giving hopes OF success. Ger
many is making similar experiments. IN
various African colonies, and particularly
In Togo and Kamerun.
IN spite OF this attitude the American
cotton growth has this enormous factor
in its favor. that no Their place on earth
has at once the SOIL the climate and
the labor for bringing cotton to perfec-
ton. Such conditions may and very
probably will be developed. But the use
OF cotton apparently is keeping ahead
OF any increase In supply.

"Business" and Politics.,

In every walk of life the new convert
to creed. q theory OF. a principle can
readily be distinguished by the energetic
conditions. The ease with which most
men glide from one extreme to another
is often amusing and sometimes makes a
new convert ridiculous. This Is particu-
larly true In politics. III! s
It was announced "a few days ago with
several loud blasts on the Republican,
trumpet that tho Hon. Robert Treat
Paine, Jr.. allfclong Democrat of Massa-
chusetts, and former Democratic cam
ditlate for Governor OF that State, had
pulled loose from his Democratic moor
ings and come out squarely. for Roose-
Welt and the whole Republican ticket,
PLATFORM, protective tariff. negro equal
ity and everything. Mfr. Paine announced
that being of an abolition family lie
could but admire Mr.. Roosevelts fondness
for negroes in general and Booker r..
Washington in particular He went SO far
as to say that he would be delighted to
receive an invitation to dine with Booker
Wa sllingtonfstS
And now comes a colored man, Henry
Brooks, the editor Of a newspaper puD-
lisaled at Luzerne Ala, who questions the
sincerity Of Mr.. Paino and makes rabid
attack upon him. The editor of the Ala
bama Afro-American paper charges that
real estate in and around the city Of
Washingt ton, which is on the market, but
that Paine has 1t labeled mo negro need
apply" So savage has been the attack
Of this colored mans payer that Mr..
Paine has found 1t necessary t. exrlaln,
and it must be said that his explanation
Is strictly business: but all the same, 1t
makes his now political expressions Of
love for the negro sound rather riddcu-
lous. He Is quoted in public prints as
saying:
IT am one Of many who are financially
interested in firm Of large real estate
operators. They purchase tracts Of land
in different parts Of the country and
develop them. In order to make the title,
clear to these different pieces Of land
which they acquire, trustees arc selected
to hold 1t and they give the titles. It so
happened that Clarendon, the new WASH
ington suburb to which Mr.. Brooks refers,
was decided to me. It would not be good
business policy to sell lots to negroes at
Clarendon, owing to the local prejudice
which most Washingtonans have against
mingling with colored people"
Mr.. Paine might have added that this
is business. not politics. But somehow
or other there are great many people,
among them q large number Of colored
folks, who do not always understand how
man can SO loudly profess ono thing
In politics and carry out exactly the oppo-
site in business.

Germans-Germans of Kobe Gave
5000 Yen to Relief Fund and For
eisn Ladies Pledged Themselves
to Give a Yen a Month Until War
In Ended.
An interesting and rather graphic
description of conditions as they are
in certain parts of Japan was received
in Savannah yesterday morning.
Mr.. H. p. Smart received a letter
from his daughter, Mrs. w. E. Fuehr,
who is at Kobe, where the official po-
sition that her husband occupies, in
connection with the German legation
there, gives her excellent opportunities
highest classes of the islands popula-
ton.
Mrs. Fuehr's letter was dated March
Is. She says that news had just reach
ed Kobe of the second attack on Port
Arthur and the reports We're that the
town had been captured and burned
and that the Russians had fed to the
interior. In Kobe, she says. great
sympathy is shown for the Japanese
cause and the foreigners there are
making large contributions to the re-
lief fund, the Germans alone having
contributed about 5000 yen. The for
eign ladies, she says, decided at a
FY,er kNnlA he haf he lat
ter was written to give yen a month
to this fund so long as the war shall
last.
How Natives See Us.
The English and the Americans,
Mrs. Fuehr wrote, are the only for
eigners who are popularity credited
with being the friends of the Jap
anese. The French are conceded 10
be the friends of Russia, while the
Germans are looked on with suspicion
because of the part they played in the
war between Japan and China.
Referring to war scenes, Mrs. Fuehr
wrote, Last week all along the line
of the railway there was nothing but
sea of Japanese soldiers VINO were
marching with flags waving, and a
display of many banners and much
bunting. The populace gathered in a
mighty force to see the soldiers, and
cheered them until the shouts could
be heard a mile away. l saw the
American and the English flags fly
ing with that of the japanese.
Hearst In Japanese Paper.
In addition to the letter. Mr.. Smart
received copies of several japanese
newspapers. They are published In
English, are very attractive. from a
typographical standpoint and contain
news of q wide variety. One copy is OF
The Japan Chronicle, which is the
weekly edition of the daily Kobe
Chronicle.
Among the most interesting articles
in this issue. with the exception of the
war news. is an editorial of three col
umns under the caption, "A yellow
Newspaper President" in which it is
stated that w. r. Hearst is almost
sure of the Democratic nomination for
President of the United States.
