Parkerism at Petersburg.

The West Virginia democrats tackled the
race question. with an Illuminating result.
Two factions appeared in the Parkersburg
convention One was composed of men OF
the Vardaman stripe who insisted that the
party should commit itself openly and alb
soutely to the doctrine that this Is a white
mans government. and that none but white
men should be allowed voice In govern
mental affairs. They do not limit the scope
of their proposition. They would have 1t
apply In the north as in the south. They
want it applied In West Virginia. as 1t Is
now applied In Mississippi. They asked the
convention to go on record, and to pledge
the party. in case of success at the polls, to
change the suffrage laws of the state so as
to eliminate the negro vote. Speeches in
support of the proposition were loudly APP
plauded.
The other faction was composed of men
not unfavorabe to the proposition but less
impetuous in pursuit of the object. Repre-
sentng what is known as foxy" or prac-
teal. politics, they insisted that such dec
laration by the convention would be I'M
wise. They pointed to the large negro vote
in the doubtful states. and admitted that
a play was being made for a part of it by
the democratic leaders. Why prejudice this
Wait until after November. Then, In the
event of the election of Parker and Davis,
and of the West Virginia democratic state
ticket. with the aid of negro votes cast

sinia job can be. and will be. attended to-
Make sure of the power before announcing
what will be done with it.
The foxy faction won, by a vote of 9ly
TO 81 1t was. as may be seen. a Parkerian
triumph-or triumph fashioned on Par
kerian lines. The platform contains no
threat of negro disfranchisement. but the
purpose is understood. The Parker and
Davis managers in New York, New Jersey
Connecticut. Indiana and Illinois Will not
nave to confront an anti-negro plank in the
democratic platform of Mr.. Davis own
state. but go on Observation-Disclosures to
that extent-for negro votes in all of that
important territory. Then. if the battle is
won. down will come the knife and the
negro vote in West Virginia will be cut Off
VIII the play have the desired effect? 1t

would have advised it-maybe. did advise it,
First the presidential nomination, and then
the gold telegram. First the power to dis
franchise. and then the act. No premature
declaration of principles or purpose.

Judge Parker's leadership.

Judge Parker takes hold like old hand
at the bellows. TIE Indiana ticket is said
to be his. Before the visit of John w.
Kern to Esopus there were three or four
aspirants for the gubernatorial nomination
In the hoosier state Two of them were
men of considerable ability. Mr.. Kern him
self was not in the field. Having made the
race four years ago and been defeated. lie
was disposed to make way for others. But
he made favorable an impression on
Judge Parker at Esopus that from that
time the discussion of his name In connec-
ton with the Indiana campaign became
very suggestive. Politicians are quick to
see a point and anxious to stand well at
court. so that when 1t was fairly well
established that Judge Parker wanted Mr.
Kern to run for governor again those who
were eager for the nomination stepped
aside
1t was probably the strongest nomination
that could have been made. Mr. Kern and
Mr. Taggart are political chums. and
should work we'll together in the contest.
Both know the state. and Mr.. Taggart Will
probably use his influence national chair
man to the advantage of the local cam
paign Mr. Kern was influential In Mr.
Taggart's success. and Mr.. Taggart. In re-
turn In Mr. kerns success, and the
promise Is out that as the result of their
Joint success Indiana in November Is to go
democratic Judge Parker has been prom
ised the states vote.
1t is not always good politics for a
presidential nominee to interfere In local
matters Such interference has on more
than one occasion been resented. But
there Is no danger of such thing In this
case. Democratic prospects In Indiana
are not overly bright. and those who have
given way for Mr. Kern have not made a
great sacrifice. They can see the argu
ment plainly as anybody else: which
Is that If victory Is to be won at all, it
must be by bringing the state campaign
into close touch as possible with the
wishes and purposes of the national lead
ers. And they have made their contribu-
ton to the campaign by consenting with
out contest to the nomination of the man
of Judge Parker's choice.
Judge Parker has been hailed as the
master of his party. That is a pretty
strong word. but his part in bringing
about his own nomination, and now the
ease with which he has brought about
the nomination Of Mr.. Kern show at
ieaSt that he is very clever politician

Health Booklets.

One of the big life insurance companies
of New York city has taken to issuing &C.
casional pamphlets or health booklets

humanity and aiming at the establishment

the enterprise is obviously selfish. to de-
crease the death rate among the policy
holders of this particular institution. but it
is none the less commendable or worthy of
imitation. Indeed, the life insurance com
panies ought TO form a great factor In the

Artillery Not Obsolete.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

One Of the lessons which military
science was supposed to have learned from
the war in South Africa was that artillery
could accomplish nothing in field operations
that could not be more cheaply and ex-
peditiously effected by rifle fire. The COM
paratively small damage done to certain
carefully selected positions after hours of
bonfbardment with highly explosive shells
was cited as evidence that all field guns,
except those of the smaller machine types.
cost more than they were worth. The
record of the Russo-Japanese war disproves
this claim. During the last few months
artillery has always been an important, and
occa sionally, vital factor in determining
the issue of engagements. The story of the
protracted duel between field batteries at
Tatchekaio shows that the superior position
of the Russian guns long held an over
whelming Japanese force at bay when rife
fire would have been powerless to have
checked the attack.
