Judge PaTkeT's Friends.

Judge Parker's campaign seems to
indicate that he has been unfortunate
in the choice of friends, or. at least,
has repOsed too great a faith in them.
He made serious misstatemenJs in re-
lation TO the Philippines, because he
believed the trained figures of Ed
ward Atkinson. and the yowl of the
ani-imperialists had impressed him.
When the actual facts were cited, the
judge was found to be in error at
every point Yet his honesty is not
doubted. He had been fooled.
Two OF three agitated and self
cOmPlacent souls have visited the
Philippines with the express purpose
of creating all the trouble possible,
and they have lied SO grossly that
trouble has resulted. Fortunately.
they have had TO bear the brunt Of
this themselves, in the form Of ridi-
Cule and contempt, but Judge Parker
accepted these emissaries of mischief
as being reliable When they pro-
claimed that the Philippines were be-
ing ruled by the dregs OF America,
he solemnly proclaimed his CONVEX
sion TO the dreg theory. II made
him absurd, and, doubtless, it has
made him sorry.
Another set OF friends deluded him
into thinking Treasury estimates were
being suppressed, and once more he
arraigned q practice that had no ex-
istence. The plain and proper or
der was that subordinates should
not give out the figures until this
had been approved by the Secretary
OF the Treasury, and thus had be-
come Official
Now there are other friends try
ing to make the worthy judge think
that all the trusts OF the land have
been forced to contribute to the cam
paign fund of the opposition. He
must be careful or he viii adopt this
notion. TOO. and have more trouble.
The Washington times., 1904-10-31

York more powerful than the whole
body OF good citizens-either knew no
proper school training yesterday or
knew too little of it.
AS this force grows in experience
and numbers, the difficulties of sham
and fraud will grow proportionately.
The spokesman of 1880 has been
crushed by civil service reform; and
the yote-buyer of 1900 viii just as
surely go down before the arm of
law and order. Sham literature, sham
art, sham religion, sham commerce,
sham of every kind viii find it harder
TO live as long as this army of mill
lions continues 10 recruit and dis
charge. No other force in our body
political life is so fun OF promise or
SO true a security of the ultimate
triumph of honor in popular govern
ment as this impressive enrolment
OF 100000 young people in our
schools.
