THE DEMOCRATIC CLUB.

The organization of a Democratic Club in Bisbee. which will be effected at Tammany Hall on Saturday evening next, is the first step taken in the ap- preaching county campaign. The movement is step in the right direc- tion. No party can afford to ignore the strength of party organization, whether they are in the majority in a locality or not. Bisbee will again poll the largest Democratic vote in the county this fall, and the party in this precinct can reasonably sure be depended on to poll its usual Demo cratic majority. The organization of an active, aggressive Democratic club makes this doubly sure. There is an other service the proposed Democratic club can render the party. Such an organization can wield a mighty influ- ence towards securing the nomination of able candidates for the respective offices. .Clean, able candidates on the ticket makes the victory doubly sure The Democratic Club has a double duty to perform-before and after the convention.

SENATOR VEST
 PASSES BEYOND.

Senator George Vest. of Missouri, passed away at his home at Sweet Springs, Mo. on yesterday, after ling ering for weeks between life and death
 The passing of Senator Vest marks the going of another who belonged to that old school of southern gentlemen and statesmen. As senator this country knew him best. Since 1878, this old veteran has served his coun- try on the floor of the senate and his long association and participation in the affairs of state made him a cen tral figure in that august body, and his speeches upon public matters of importance were listened to on all oc- casions with rapt attention.
 Senator Vest was more than the rep resentative of the state of Missouri He took an active part in all matters of public welfare and more than one section of the Union owes a debt of gratitude to the departed salesman for his able presentation of their cause in the upper house of Congress.
 Senator Vest was a native of Ken lucky and was seventy-four years old at the time of his death. For twenty Six years he had represented Missouri in the senate and had come to be known as one of the foremost politica, leaders in American history. He served through the war in the Con federate army and the welfare of the south was carefully guarded through all his declining years
 The people of Missouri loved Sena tor Vest. Today the streets of Sweet Springs will be lined with citizens whC have journeyed there from all over tho state, with barred heads and aching hearts, to watch the funeral corteg' pass on it's way to the final resting place.
 To the people of Missouri the deatf of Senator Vest will come as a per sonal loss. He rounded out his las term in the Senate in March, 1903, ana since that time has spent his remain ing days at his simple home in Swee Springs. The name of George Ora ham Vest will go down through his tory as one of the great men and un occasionally one of the most forcefu individual figures of his day; hut his friends will keep his memory green not only because he was a great leade. and a great statesman, but because ht

JUDGE PkRkER'S RESIGNATION.

The action of Judge Parker in ten dering his resignation as chief judge of the New York Court of Appeals at this time will greatly strengthen the favorable impression created by his gold telegram" sent to the St. Louis convention. Recognition of the man Illness and courage of the man will 3e generously accorded by fair-mindel Republicans and Democrats.
 In rendering his resignation at this time Judge Parker emphasized two characteristics that can hardly fail to have great influence in shaping the popular estimate of the Democratic nominee: One is proper and ade- quate conception of the decencies and proprieties of a judicial position; the other is 9 moral and intellectual stam ina that enables him to disregard the advice of politicians who have no ideas in politics that are not controlled by party expediency."
 Both characteristics are admirable Judge Parker has not yet formally ac cepted the nomination for the presi dency. He has made no campaign speeches or appointments. The most that he has done was to notify the Democratic National Convention that if it nominated him it must do so with the understanding that he regarded the gold standard as ''irrevocably estab lished."
 If the Judge had waited until after
Bisbee daily review., 1904-08-10

Monday to tender his resignation he could have made it impossible for a successor to his office to be nominated until next year, leaving the place open for him in the event of his defeat this fall. This he was urged to do by some political advisers and friends. The advice was disregarded, and Judge Parker is now free to participate actively in the campaign without of lending his own sense of the dignity and propriety of the judicial office, and without doing violence to the pop ular conception of what the bench should be and what it should stand for in this country.
 Judge Parker has done the emi. nently proper thing. The example set by jurist of his distinction is one that may well be emulated by other judges who have political ambitions.

ROOSEvELT'S PASSION FOR PUTTING IN"

The New York World, discussing Roosevelt's irrepressible desire to ob- trude himself into everything, says: 1 An accidental president, who in can opposition under foot and made himself the absolute master of his party. could be relied upon to extend his authority over the country by the same process by which he extended it over the party. That would fulfill his conception of the greatest good. ]"
 In NIT. Roosevelt's scheme of things the most fortunate condition in which the country can find itself is to be governed by his will and according to his notions of what is best for it. Not that he has any studied intention of overriding the constitution. Not that he is deficient in patriotism or in loy- alty to American institutions. These cannot be questioned The Presidents deficiencies are temperamental He has no clear conception of a constitu- tional government of limited and defined powers, with departments in dependent of one another. His rest less, unstable disposition can best te described as Bismark described the Kaiser-"He paws at everything like young hound"
 NIT. Roosevelt paws at everything, too. Nothing human is foreign 10 him; and, not being foreign to him, his primary impulse is to meddle with it, in the belief that he can probably better it.
 Whether it is a question of race sui eide, or race equality, or race suprem- acy. or the ten commandments, or the relations between employer and en- ployed, or the political morals of other 1 countries, or the obligations of na- ! tions in the matter of paying thsir debts, or the extension of trade, or the latest popular novel, or the ethics of ! citizen hip. Mir. Roosevelt instantly extends himself over it of his own vigor. He can no more help meddling than he can help breathing. Every drop of blood in his veins clamors 10 butt in," and the appeal is generally irresistible.

FARM LABOR IN GUATEMALA.
what Seems to BE Generous Pay
Dwinales When the Deprecated
Currency IL Considered.

Guatemala, little republic with an
area Of $4,000 square miles and pop
ulation Of considerably less than 2,000,-
100000 Of which more than half are
pure Indians. has, according to our
consular reports, been legislating in
regard to the minimum of wage that
can be paid to farm hands. The gov
ernment served notice on the plant
ers that wages paid farm hands must
be not less than $3.50 day, instead
Of Is cents and one dollar. which
were the ruling rates. Now, that

dollars week, seems high rate Of
wages for farm labor in Central Amer

currency, not gold. In gold, wages Of
o1.s0 day would mean a fair pay,
but In Guatemala $50 Of the depre-
ciated currency Of the country is
oqual to only about nine cents in our
own coinage. This decree, therefore.
raises the minimum Of farm wages
from four and one-half to six cents
Per day to nine cents a day. Even the
higher rate can hardly be considered
liberal, for. assuming that there are
500 working days in the year, this

youngest enlisted soldier in the Fed

boy he ran away from home to join
the army, but was not permitted to
do so, and was taken back to Milwau-

contented outside of the army, so his
father assisted him to place as
musician for the Thirteenth regular
infantry. Many have claimed to be
the youngest regular soldier during
the Civil war, but the records Of the
war department show that Moody had
the record.
