The Parker Letter.

The letter of acceptance of Judge
Parker has aroused considerable Demo-
cratic enthusiasm throughout the
country and it is evident that new life
has been b:eathed into campaign
heretofore dull to degree. The Re-
publican newspapers deory the letter
with un lnimity bu. the amount of space
they devote to it indicates that they
are far from cocksure OF Rooseve,t's
election.
Meansehi'e, Mr.. Babcock, Chairman
Of the Republican Congressional Com
mittee, has publicly admitted the pos
sibi'ity OF the Democrats carrying the
lower house and calls on his party to
rally in the face of the danger. All in
all, the signs are distinctly more en-,
couraging to the Democracy than they
were fortnight ago.
The central and dominant note OF
Judge Parker's letter is the plea for
constitutional government, govern
ment by the law as against the rule or
misru.e OF petulant and impetuous
egotist. Ii is convincing in it's common
sense-is rather important as indica-
tive of the sterling common sense and
safe balance of the man behind it rather
than as dazzling appeal to the imag-
ination of superficial voters
The flaring Mr.. Roosevelt has never
been elected President Of the United
States and is yet far from any such
triumph, The American people are
not commonly prone to choose a"cheap
skate" politician for this highly re-
spectacle position.

A ROUTINE SESSION.
The Convention Accomplished Nothing
While Waiting on Resolutions,

hours today in waiting for the report
OF the committee on resolutions. A
committee WAS appointed by Chairman
Clark 10 call OF the resolutions commit

be submitted to the convention.
Just before the noon hour the conven-
tons enissaries announced the resolu-
lions committee would require until s
o'clock tonight to prepare it's report
but that the action of the committee
would be unanimous, and a platform
would be submitted which, they de.
clared, would bring the party a ''glori-
Gus victory" The convention then took
a recess until s O'Clock.
Chairman Clark had the convention
in hand from the ome the proceed

st~rong-voiced assistant, THAT the first
person raising a row will be thrown out
by the police" After the committee
had been dispatched to learn the pleas

RAISING SQUADS FOR MARkE'
Demand Has Given Rise to Quite an
important Industry.


Outdoors: Up to q very few wears ago
pigeon raising was considered n boys
sport only, but their interesting ways. the
fascination OF breeding them for the show
pen and the demand for squads by hotels
a k them up as a recreation or a bust
ness, and the success OF these few caused
others 10 join them until now it has be-
come quite a large industry. We will
first take up the breeding Of pigeons for
SQUAD selling.
There is only one variety of pigeon
USED for this purpose-the common varie-
ty. They are worth nothing for the show
pen, but are very prolific, each pair rear
ing eight or nine pairs of squads a year.
1t takes squads but one month to ma.
ture, that is, they are full growp and
ready for market one month from. hatch
Ing. The old birds lave made their sec
ong nest and laid their eggs before the
last young ones are grown. 1t takes the
eggs eighteen days to hatch, so that about
every month and a half there is q pair Of
squads ready for market from each pair.
The principal food for pigeons is wheat,
though a little cracked corn with this is
good for them.
Cleanliness and system mean success
viii squads, and though much Is said to
the contrary they require considerable
care in order to get the very best results
They do we'll in nearly any climate.
though a place where the winters are
short and not severe IS the best. The
southern states and California are the
best suited for this industry, and they
contain many farms which make a spe-
cialty Of squad raising. One farm in Cal
ifornia has nearly 200. 900 old birds.
