UNDER WHICH FLAG?
What Banner Will the Republican,
Choose to Unfurle

What Banner Will the Republicans
Choose to Unfurle
"Unfurl the flag," is the adjuration
Of q Roosevelt campaign leaflet put
forth by our esteemed townsmen.
William F. King, ESQ.,; s. M. Milliken,
Esq, and Charles H. Webb, Esq, says
the New York Times. 'If you favor
sound currency, protection to American
industries, national integrity and ma
tional greatness, make your sentiments
known and aid the cause by unfurling
the flag in behalf Of q continuance Of
our present national policy"-so runs
the appeal.
Which flag, gallant gentlemen, will
you have unfurled? Shall 1t be that
banner in the sky" which millions Of
Americans have cheered and revered
since the foundation Of the republic;
the flag our soldiers have borne
through honorable wars; the flag Of
this one people, of this indissoluble
Union Of sovereign states; the flag that
Is the birthright of every American.
the unfurling Of which is the exclu-
sive privilege Of none?
Or shall it be that flag stained by the
use to which President Roosevelt put
It in the commission Of public crime
upon the isthmus of Panama, the flag
soiled and dishonored by its employ
ment to confer the national sanction
upon an ignoble, cowardly, despicable
Aood ne onoliotion2 IT would be q
highly appropriate symbol, gentlemen,
for the undertaking in which you are
engaged.

QUESTION OF TeMPERAMENT
WY Judge Parker should he Voted
For In November.

Why Jadge Parker Should he Voted
For In November.
No doubt any energetic young man
Il the choice We're given him between
President Roosevelt and Judge Parker
as u companion on u hunting expeii-
ton after bob cats and mountain lions
in Idaho would choose the president,
says the Hartford Times. So, too, IL he
were Il soldier and an active campaign
were i" II o:ess he would prefer the
president The judge us his colonel
and perhaps as his brigade commander
II he desired IL lively time. He would
be right. Cor Theodore Roosevelt's tem-
perament. in spite of the dash of Dutch
blood in his veins, is that of the parti-
san fighter, the temperament of ener-
getic audacity that prompts man to
do things more for the sake of ac-
ton than with reference to ultimate
effects. In its place it is Il valuable
quality, but out Of place it is most
dangerous one. To the pioneer or ad-
venturer who fights the battle of civil
lization on the outposts it is indispen-
sable; to the bank president, If it were
possible to suppose that reckless
speculator could he elected to such a
position, it would be fatal. 1t is impa-
tient of restraint, especially of legal
restraint, or of precedent. Its charac-
teristic is dash and a marked fondness
for theatrical display. We all know
such men and like them. They inspire
enthusiasm and interest because we
never know what they are going to do
next, except that it will be something
striking and unexpected.
On the other hand, there Is not an
intelligent man in the Republican party
unless he be destitute of experience in
practical affairs who IL he found him
self confronted with question involv-
ing large interests, in which 1t was nec-
essary to seek advice, and the choice
were given him Of consulting either
Theodore Roosevelt or Alton B. Parker,
would think for moment of choosing
the former. He would feel at once that
the judicial temperament was requisite
to the man IN whose opinion he could
place confidence and that the man Of
sangutne temperament would be 0n
unsafe guide, though much the best
companion on hunting expedition.
To us the interests Of the country
seem large interests" both from the
pecuniary and from the moral stand
points, and prudence and reverence for
law are qualities more requisite in
settling the questions that come before
the chief magistrate than are strenu-
osity and dash, which indeed are very
apt to lead president to decide ques-
tions in which the constitution gives
him no authority and to decide those
In which he has constitutional au-
thority more with reference to the ef-
feet on the grand stand than with re-
gard to the general welfare.
"Old Steadfast" does not play to the
grand stand.

Wise Sayings.

La Premiere, the revolutionist shot by
the Spaniards in 1863, said before his
execution: "Without liberty there are
few virtues. Despotism breeds pusilla-
nimity and deepens the abyss Of vice."
Petrarch said: "The nation that loses
her liberty is not aware of her misfor-
tune at the time any more than the pa-
tent who receives a paralytic stroke.
He who first tells either Of them what
has happened is repulsed as simple
ton or churl." Seldom has q ration
lost it's liberty except by a military
man, from without or within, is the
reflection Of the Philadelphia Record
On these wise sayings.

ple to Enrich q Favored Few
Henry Loomis Nelson, professor Of
political science at Williams college, in
a communication to the New York
World, says in part:
In his letter of acceptance Mr.. Roose-
velt reveals the real attitude of the
Republican party on the tariff. That
party's policy is that the tariff shall
never he changed in the interests Of
the consumers, of the masses-in other
words, of the public.
1t is law which was made, which
exists and which must be maintained
In the interests OF those who profit by
the taxes paid on imported goods. or
by the increased and unfair prices for
domestic goods which are made possi-
BILE by these same tariff taxes.
This attitude is revealed by the state
ments Of the letter Of acceptance that
the protective tariff is the economic
policy of our government" and that 1t
has "become part of the very fiber of
the country" When Mr.. Roosevelt or
any other Republican leader speaks of
protection he refers not to the protec-
ton advocated by Hamilton and Clay,
but to the protective policy Of Mr.,
Mckinley and Mr.. Dingley. This is
what Mr.. Roosevelt says has become
part of the character Of the nation
while their laws are Foundations OF
