country positive. well-balanced, and
at the same time, an aggressive ex-
preston of his views.
Even Republicans like Secretary
Taft, Representative Hemingway of In
diana, and Mr. Justice McKenna of
the Supreme Court, freely admitted
mat the letter of Judge Parker was
much stronger than any of his previ-
Gus utterances.
Some one has been sticking few
pins in the judge" remarked Mr.. Hem
ingway, for the tone of this letter is
so much more direct and forcible than
anything we have had before from
Esopus "
Secretary Taft said: Judge Parker
has stated the Democratic position as
strongly as it can be expressed, and
1t ought to stimulate the Democrats
to vigorous action. They needed some-
thing invigorating, and the letter
shows that the Judge has recently came
under the influence of some adroit adj
Visers."
Representative ]. Adam Bede, of
Minnesota, commended the general tone
OF 1t which deals with the pension ques-
ton.
Judge Parkers promise to advocate
a service pension will not appeal to the
great army or pensioners. Under PreSl-
dent Roosevelt'so order. which is but
supplementary to a similar action by
cleveland, the pensioners have GER
tainty and Judge Parker holds out
only a promise of an uncertainty. The
old soldiers know how hard it is to get
pension legislation before Congress after
an election has been heidi
Col. John G. Capers, United States
attorney for South Carolina, said:
Judge Parker has made four or five
adroit and effective points in his letter.
II is much more emphatic and gingery
than we had reason to expect from
the judge in view of his previous ut
terances."

are many good things in the letter. but
In my judgment, his bold and emphatic

JOE CANNON ANSWERS
PARKER'S PENSION PROMISE.
How the Speaker of the House Re-
plies to 1t.

plies to 1t.
Hastings, Neb., Sept. 26.-Speaker
Joseph G.. Cannon, in a speech here
to-day. discussed that part of Alton
B. Parker's letter of acceptance re-
lating to the Presidents pension order.
Speaker Cannon reviewed the history
of the law under which the order was
made, and the construction placed on
it by Presidents Cleveland and McKin-
ley, and said: Now, then, when that
order of Roosevelt's was issued the
dickens was to pay, although it was
along the same principle, and in the
same manner as formerly issued by
Cleveland and Mckinley, and they have
been raising a row about it ever since,
talking of executive usurpation.
In Parker's first acceptance by
speech he complained of the expendi-
lures of the government under Repub-
lican rule and Roosevelt came back
at him and said.
How are you going to cut down
these expenditures? Are you for the
ACPCd4 VI mat SAGCulANG OLQST FeldIIIlS
to the soldiers?'
And Parker now comes back in his
letter of acceptance, just issued and
says: If I am elected President, will
rescind that order
And then he goes on and says But
after I rescind it, I will use my infiu-
ence with Congress to pass a bill CIV
ing an age service pension to the sol
der that performed service in the
Civil War
Il ask what age, Parker? What age?
Will it be 75, So. 81 years, or what?
Indefinite still you are, and probably
not sincere, but suppose you are elect
ed President, Mr.. Parker, and you use
your influence, what will that bring
in the meantime? From $4,000 to 50,-
900 people will have their pensions
taken away, while you promise to use
your influence to have Congress pass
a service pension law without stating
the age you propose to recognize.
Now, l ask you, Mr.. Parker, If you
are elected President, who will control
the House of Representatives? Will
not two-thirds of the Democrats in
that body be made up of members
from the South. and are they liberal
people with pensions for the Union

LODGE ON RECIPROCITY.
Criticizes the Tariff Policy of the
Democratic Party.

Newton, Mass. Sept. Ex-senator
Henry Cabot Lodge was the guest Of
the Newton Club at a dinner tonight
and in speech following the dinner,
advocated a policy of reciprocity that
would bring compensation to the
United States for concessions made,
and not prove inimical to American
interests.
In conclusion Senator Lodge said:
so far as political parties are con-
cerned, there may be differences of
opinion as to any specific case, but one
thing is certain, the Democratic party
for fifty years has done nothing in re-
gard to reciprocity except abrogate the
Blaine treaties. 1t never can do any
thing because it is in principle the
party of free trade and tariff reduc-
ton, and without tariff of protec-
tive character, reciprocity cannot ex-

POPE MAKES PROTEST.
What He Says of the Congress o.
the Free Thinkers.

What He Says of the Congress ct
the Free Thinkers.
Rome, Sept. 26.-The Pope has ad-
dressed to the Cardinal Vicar a pro-
test against the Congress OF Free
Thinkers held here last week. The
text was published in the Osservatore
Romano this evening with a letter
from the Cardinal Vicar inviting Cath
olics to attend a service of atonement
to be held in all the basilicas in Rome
on Thursday next. The Pope in his
letter to Cardinal Respighi said:
"A new cause of bitterness has been
added to the many anxieties which,
especially in our times, accompany the
government of the universal church.
We have learned with infinite sorrow
that it is asserted that the cultivators
Of free thought have met in Rome
while the painful echo of their speech
es is unfortunately confirmed by their
grim designs. Intelligence is the no.
blest gift the Creator has granted us,
but it becomes sacriligous when sub
tracted from dependency on the AL
mighty, or rejects the direction and
comfort of divine truth"
The Pope says the insult was rem
dered more grave by the Free Think
ers meeting in Rome, the city which
had been destined as a depository of
the faith, thus taking from Rome it's
designation as the tranquil, respected
See of Christ's vicar. I'VE therefore, -
the Pope adds, will make ours the
offence offered to God, gathering in our
heart all its bitterness"
The Pope recognizes that even on
this occasion God sent comfort through
the manifestation of filial affection re-
ceived yesterday from the one thou
sand members of the Catholic Associa-
ton of French Youths, but he wishes
to have in Rome a solemn function OF
atonement for the outrage to divine
majesty and for the vindication of the
honor and good name of the city.
