STORY OF BROWNS LANDING.
Cora Leadbetter In Denver Times
Friday Magazine.

He was one of the kind of people
who cannot be told anything. He had
lived as long as you had and had used
his faculties to just as good advant
age as you had and perhaps a little
better. He did not want advice from
anyone.
He came out in the sos, a pallid
youth of Boston, and began life on a
big Wyoming cattle ranch.
He soon left. The old-timers say ii
was on account of Sonora. Sonora had
seven different ways of bucking and
sometimes she used them all at one
performance. The wise did not ride
her-neither did the unwise.
do not know the right of the story
myself, but I suspect it was general
want of a%daptability as much as Sonora
that made him leave the L-Bar ranch
and drift into Hereford City.
There he met a mar who knew his
family back east, and as there was
really nothing the matter with the fel.
low except his m~ulishness, and as
those fine old Puritan families have a
mutual admiration society, our young
fastener was helped to a position in
the Hereford City bank.
However, he did not stay there very
long, and the mex year found him

without him for two years; then he re.

suit case, insolence and all.
During his %sojourn in Boston he had
inherited some little property, and this
he promptly invested in mines. 1t was
at the time when gold was being found
in the hills about Hereford City. Our
Bostonian was a sane man.; he knew
when to buy and when to sell, and al
though he did not make a sensational
fortune, he amassed a very consider
able amount Of money.
He used to return cas- periodically
and on one Of these trips he brought
back a wife, fragile. delicate, perfumed
creature, whose near-sighter brown
eyes had a way Of overlooking Here
ford City society which hat select
body found very annoying.
He also bought a ranch, which he
visited frequently, although he chose
his saddle horse with care and left the
rough riding to the COWBOYS.
Every summer visitors came out
from the east, sometimes a dozen at
once, and they were taken to the ranch
and to the hills. and they kodaked the
COWBOYS and ashed and hunted and
gathered agates and marveled at the
inhabitants Of Hereford City.
The Binghams came out in the sum-
mer Of '9s. The Binghams were Of

Drive down there. Was he an idiot?
Yes sir; he believed It could be done,

He was advised not t do any such
blamed fool thing.
Brown was neither a brave nor a
foolhardy man, but opposition harden

By heaven he was going to drive
down there. Anybody that was afraid
could pile out.
There was a general clearing of the
wagon.

boy, his face white.

Brown, ST., started OF his down-hill

The horses picked their way care
fully, holding the wagon back by sheer
force, and those at the top watched
with bated breath. Suddenly a rabbit
scurried across the path and the bay
horse, with a snort of terror, jerhed
aside.

SATURDAY, AUGUST IS, 1904.
A PREMATURE BOAST.

That was a gravely significant boast recently made by a Republican politi- elan in St. Louis relative to the State ticket. We expect to have a barrel of money at our disposal" he said, though he refused to tell where 1t was to come from. He added that the use of money was to be the only method they would use in the campaign, and added: We expect to trade the rest of the ticket for the Governorship."
 We agree with The Charlotte Observ- where the barrel will come from, for everybody knows" There needs no gift of second sight to tell where the money is to come from. The boodlers of high and low degree who have been making good for many years until Folk fell athwart their path are naturally against him, and 1t ought not to be hard job to get contributions from them. Whether they are Democrats or Republicans they want Folk defeated and will pay money to accomplish it. IL may be that Walbridge, the Republi-
 
 man, but if elected he will largely owe his success to the money and influence of the poodle element and will be ex- pected to be good to them.
 And that other admission that the Republicans are willing to sacrifice all the men on their ticket except the Gov ernor in order to accomplish the defeat of Folk shows the animus of the bosses who control the party in Missouri It shows how sorely afraid they are of feat him.
 The admission. or boast. of this St. Louis Republican ought to have two good effects. It ought to'open the eyes of Democrats and put them on notice that no means, fair or foul, will be spared to defeat their candidate. It ought to be a renewed incentive to all honest Democrats of Missouri to be both watchful and active for they have a foe to combat who is both desperate and interruptions, and who will hesi- tate at nothing that may lead to sue cess.
 And 1t ought to prove to the honest Republicans of that State that it is the poodle element that is fighting Folk and that success will besmirch the en- tire Republican organization of Mis- souri. It may be that some of the can didates on the Republican ticket are better men than are some of the Dem ocrats on the Folk ticket. and if this is true it is an added reason why they can do themselves credit by refusing to join in the business of sacrificing their own men in order to pull Folk down with them. It will be much bet ter, and much more to their credit, if they will sacrifice Walbridge and elect Folk and let the remainder of their ticket look out for itself. By this means they can secure for themselves at least part of the honor and credit of giving their State a Governor who is pledged to put down official rascal ity, and who will, as far as lies in his power, redeem that pledge to the utter most. That talkative St. Louis Repub- lican may have done the State and the Democracy real serYica

PARKER's SPEECH.
Two Strong Endorsements of His Ut-
 terQnces.

NeW 1Otk Amerlcan.
 The speech in which Judge Parker party's nomination for the Presidency is eminently characteristic or the man
 Throughout 1t bears the marks of the judicial habit of mind. Its tone is bench rather than the candidate ad- dressing the people.
 Those who hoped for trumpet blasts and clarion calls" will be manner of expression Is not that which fires the popular heart pr appeals to the national imagination; But the more the speech is studied the better will the broad princip.es of govern ment it lays down be understood.
 It Is the address of d cautious con stitutional lawyer Every word is well weighed, every thought moderately and carefully uttered There are no at tempts at phrase-making, no endeavors to invent "watchwords" and Slogans There are no large and rash promises. A complete absence of extrayagance distinguishes Judge Parker's first po- litical speech. He offers himself as the representative or the conservatism of his party, as opposed to the radi- calism of the Republican. party typi- fled by Theodore Roosevelt.
 In the main the candidate follows the platform. which he formally in- dorses, but it is noticeable that, instead of seeking to outdo the party's decl1- ration of principles in vehemence, he Is considerably less emphatic.
 Take the tariff. for example. The platform says: We denounce protec- ton as a robbery of the many to en- rich the few, and we favor a tariff linn ited to the needs of the government economically administered.
 Judge Parker betrays none of this denunclatorY fervor, but temperately points out that the present tariff law is unjust in its operation. excessive in many of its rates and so framed in particular instances as to exact inordi- late profits from the people," He, however, reminds his party and the public, and all those interested in the tariff, that should a Democratic Presi- dent and House of Representatives ue elected, the opposition would still have the Senate, and that, therefore, we shall be unable to secure any modifica- tton of the tariff save that to which the Republican majority in the Senate may consent" He cherishes the hope, nevertheless. that should a Democrat ic House of Representatives and a Democratic executive be chosen by the people. even Republican Senate may heed the warning and consent to give at least some measure of relief" :
 The platform is quite as warm on the subject of the trusts as on the tariff. but again Judge Parker refrains from rehecting its heat. There is just

All fair minded people, without re- gard to party, will approve President Roosevelt's decision that non- partisan and non-political officers of Federal Courts shall not be removed for par tisan reasons. The circular sent out on the subject is spirited and emphatic. 'No politician" not even the Presidents s referees, "can coerce them" The oc- casion of the circular was the recent controversy here between Judge Jones and the referees, who wished to remove Deputy Marshal Colqultt, in spite of Judge Jones, to make place for a favorite of their own. It is good old doctrine that courts should be kept out of politics. The circular appears else where.

Knowledge Grows Wisdom Lingers

Baltimore Sun.
 In a brief work by Colonel w. c Gorgas, of the Medical Corps, United states Army, on Destroying Mosqui- toes" it is shown that destroying ''wigglers" by means of kerosene oil is. in fact, an effective means of pre- venting sickness from so-calIed ma laria as well as yellow fever Few persons among us, as a matter of fact do really accept it as true that

They are like those persons or whom many are found-who still believe In their hearts that the sun goes around the earth every day. The scientific fact doesn't impress them and for this reason they will not adopt scientific methods of stopping malaria and yellow fever by interfering with the breeding of mosquitoes. pr. Cor gas states that in 1900 before the work of destroying mosquitoes was be- gun, Havana, Cuba, had 325 deaths from malaria In 1901. after the work was begun. the deaths were 151.

 The money question Is treated most happily. Judge Parker reaffirms his own declaration for the irrevocabie gold standard, but does it incidentally part of his acknowledgment of the honor done him in nominating him with his convictions upon that subject known. That is all, but that Is enough.
 Tt is a noble passage of the speech which shows how un-American is the tawdry militarism in which the Re- publican party has of late been flaunt- ing. And in speaking up so emphati- cally as he does In behalf of Philippine Independence, Judge Parker shows how precious to him are American tradi- tions.
 sincerity and elevation of mind ap- pear unmistakably in Judge Parker's explicit declaration of intention to serve but one term if elected. The speech makes it plain to all that with whom to oppose President, Roose- welt. The two men stand for anti thetic ideals, and it Is for the nation to make its choice between them"
 The Eagle says:
 Judge Parker's formal and strong reply will command the respect of all Democrats It will meet the desire and expectation of real independents. It should disappoint such Republicans as pardonably hoped for errors or breaks. The text is judicial. The temperament and training of the judge are that. The quality is frank and honorable. The mans character is that. The propositions are moderate. They take into account not only sound principles. but existing facts. A jurlst is jurist. by virtue of that union of candor, of courage. of conviction ana of courtesy which shines through what Judge Parker said His speech as a mental and moral indication of the Democratic nominee. could not well Dc improved. The intellect, the training and the conservatism of the man are apparent. Those to whom the speech will he a revelation and those to whom it will he reassurance should he equally drawn to the speaker. It will gratify the Democratic rank and file It should satisfy those who wish to aid the Democracy with their lndez pendent support.
 Every Democrat by this speech can justify his conscience in his intention to vote for the judge. Noareal inde- pendent should have any doubt about the judges equal capacity and char acter. Such so-called independents as may withhold their support from him could find reasons. CT pretexts, for what they propose wholly outside of his words today. No self-styled inde- pendents have pronounced their pur- pose to oppose Judge Parker without having their declaration explained by causes or obligations or expectations. which suggest that they are indepen- dents more in name than in fact. and that the name is mask. rather than definition, screen, lure or a label, rather than a reality"

Comments on the Acceptance Speech
 of Judge Parker

New York, Aug. 10-Commenting on Judge Parker,s speech of acceptance, The Evening Post says; His speech of acceptance is the utterance of a man who does his own thinking. who has something to say, md who says IL with the utmost frankness. The coun- try will pronounce him a man worth listening to, and will gladly hear him further.
 His speech is long, but not ram bling. and single conception runs through and vitalizes the whole. If is the old American conception of liberty under law. Not for notbing has this man been giving his mind to the study and exposition of turispru dence.
