TELLING POINTS IN PARkERs LET
TER.

TER.
The administration organs asserted
there was nothing in Judge Parker's
letter of acceptance demanding their
attention when the letter was publish
ed. The vigorous manner in which
they and the Republican spellbinders
are attacking 1t justifies the conclusion
that they are now convinced they were
mistaken or that they were not sincere
in their first criticisms of it. They are
certainly giving it a good deal of at
tention. That wouldn't be the case if
they believed there was nothing in it,
thar 1t was a weak and spiritless docu-
ment.
Since the appearance Of the letter,
Speaker Cannon, in his speeches. is
giving almost his entire attention to
it, and the Republican campaign man
ayers take care that what he says
about it is sent over the country in
the Associated Press dispatches. Every
Republican paper of Importance de-
votes one or two editorials a day to
it, and it is a safe statement that they
will continue to do so during the cam
paign. It is evident therefore that
there is a great deal in it that is caus-
Ing them uneasiness.
They don't like the way which Judge
Parker knocked out" Mr.. Roosevelt
on the question as to whether there is
common law which affords a remedy
r-, 49,
Roosevelt there wasn't and he straight
way put the denial in his letter of ac-
ceptance. Judge Parker showed there
was such common law, and cited the
United States Supreme Court decision,
thus leaving Mr.. Roosevelt in a sorry
plight.
And then there is that pension order
challenge which Mr.. Roosevelt issued!
The Republican leaders were sure it
would have paralyzing effect on
Judge Parker, but the promptness with
which it was accepted by him carried
CONSERVATION into the Republican
camp. Speaker Cannon and the adj
ministration organs are trying to make
of the acceptance of the challenge, but
the whole country is smiling broadly
at their efforts, because they are MAX
ing such miserable failure.
And the showing Judge Parker makes
of the extravaganza of the Republican
party is causing the Republican cam
paign managers genuine alarm. They
don't know how to effectually meet
that attack. because it has such
solid basis of truth.
We are sure the Republican cam
paign managers, If they are disposed
to be candid. will admit there is more
in Judge Parker's letter than they
thought there was when they first
read it. The truth is, there is so much
in it that it will bear several readings,
and at the end of each reading it APP
pears stronger-more like the utterance
of statesman. That is not the case
with Mr.. Roosevelt's letter. One read
ing of the latters letter is enough. 1t
is brilliant production, of course, but
that is all that can be said of it in
praise. 1t contains little or nothing
that is calculated to arouse the inter-
est of the people.
1t is worthy of notice that Judge
Parker stands much better chance of
election since the publication of his
letter of acceptance. Mr.. Roosevelt's |
letter doesn't seem to have had ben
eficial effect on his campaign.

H, prominent lawyer of that re-

with horse stealing. and the witness
was swearing as to the identity of
the stolen horse, says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
How do you know this is the same
horse?" asked Gen. H.

witness.
"Well, how?" again asked Gen.

jocularity?"
The complainant replied; IF you

made in utter sincerity?"
Nor, sir. 1t was made in the wash

To rub salt and pepper into a wound
has heretofore been considered a re-
finement of cruelty and TO indicate GER
tainly the heartlessness of the person
guilty of doing 1t. But now comes a
Western physician and asserts that
there are few more beneficial applica-
tons that could be put on a wound
than salt or pepper, or both at the
same time. Both, he says, are germi-
cides, and a chief care in modern sur
gerry is to kill off the germs. Mean
while. laymen who have wounds to
dress had better stick to the old-time
first-aids.

A New York magistrate has decided
that woman may smoke on the street
if she pleases. And why not? Com
mon sense would dictate that women
have as many privileges on the street
as men. 1t certainly isn't illegal for
a man to smoke on the street, or the
cigar trade would be ruined; and
what's sauce for the gander ought to
be sauce for the goose. AS a matter
of fact, it is ridiculous. not to say
outrageous, how the liberties of women
are restricted by our minions of the
law. Let a woman appear on the
street attired in coat and trousers, and
she is Immediately under suspicion
and the chances are ten to one that
she will be placed under arrest. Yet
there is no law governing the garb of
a woman. DIR. Mary Walker has been
for years subjected to all sorts of an
noyances and ridicule, because she
chose to dress in mems clothing. We
need to be less bound by precedent and
prejudice.

him 70 get out of the way and let
somebody else have a try at It. In a
recent issue Of the Yachtsman Of Lon
don the suggestion is made that Sir
Thomas has had enough advertising
out OF the races: that his interest IN
them is wholly for advertising pur-
poses, and that because OF this adver-
tising feature both Fife and Watson
have declined 10 design a new cup
hunter.

Mhnt the baby snid.

DIR. George T. Shrady asked another
medical man at recent meeting of
a number of the fraternity If he had
ever heard of 8 months old baby
talking, says the New York Times.
"O!" said the other, "of course it is
unusual, but 1 was called to attend
a sick infant of that age. The case
was desperate and past all hope of
relief. 1 was sitting watching for its
last gasp when the mother said:
Doctor, is there nothing that can
be done to save my baby?'
And 1 replied: Nothing, absolutely
nothing.
Just then the baby opened its eyes
and said nothing, absolutely nothing,
and died"

There is in Chicago, according to a
news dispatch, a firm of stock brokers
that begins every days business with
Bible reading, a hymn and prayer. 1t
is alleged that the firm has found the
"admixture of religion and business to
be very advantageous" Maybe if the
religious exercises didn't increase the
days business they would be cut out.
Meanwhile it might not be bad idea
for those having money to invest to
look carefully into the character Of

what is considered good authority that
the official head of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General Bristow has been
marked for the executioner. Mr.. Bris-
tow is extremely unpopular in post
office and other official circles. He is
the man who dug up and exposed the
rottenness in the Postoffice Depart
ment, and for that reason he is hearth
ly disliked. Powerful politicians" it
is said, demand Bristow's removal, and
the President has agreed to accede to
the demand What a fine showing for
the man of blood and backbone!

The Carnegie Steel Company, at
Pittsburg, it is said, has posted and
is enforcing an order requiring heads
of certain departments to refuse en-
ployment to men over 50 years of age,
and in others to men over 40. This
is drawing the dead-line on age pretty
closely. 1t is strongly suspected that
the order was made for the purpose of
getting rid of certain skilled work
men who had gone out on strike and
who desired to be reinstated when
work was resumed. Does it seem fair
that a rule of the kind should en-
brace competent men, skilled in their
trades? The best years of a competent,
healthy workingman's life are between
the ages of 35 and 50.

Some days ago three tourists from
Nebraska in the Garden of the Gods,
Colorado, painted their names in glar-
ing letters on great rock in a prom
inent place. OF course the beauty of
the scene was marred by this display
of freakish egotism. The Colorado
Springs Board of Trade wrote to the
three tourists at their homes tell
ing them there was a law against their
act, and unless they returned forth
with and removed the Objectionable
signs they would be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law AS result the
smart fellows were obliged to return
from Nebraska and remove the dis
fgurement with acid. The incident, it
is to be hoped, taught them valua-
BILE lesson; and it should be a warning
to other foolish persons who delight to
see their names in public places.

The most noticeable difference be-
tween the old and the new arm, appar-
crit at first glance is the fact that the
barrel of the latter is entirely covered
with wood. This innovation was the
result of suggestions made to the ord
rance officers by enlisted men OF the
army. Following the campaign in Cuba
and the Philippines many complaints
we're made 20 the ordnance officers by
officers in the field who said that after
a period of rapid discharges the rifles
became so. hot that it sometimes wa
necessary to cease firing for time to
permit them to cool.
The bore Of the new rifle is smaller,
the cilibar being 80 inch, while the
initial velocity and penetrating power
both are greater. The new sun also is
several inches shorter than the Old.
NgThe ejecting lever projects down
ward in the new arm and the magazine
has capacity of five cartridges and
can be filled with ease and Quickness.

ESSAY ON THE HORSE.
Remarkable Production Said to ce
Work Ct Indian.

Here is a remarkable essay on the
horse said to be from the pen of an
Indian student: THE horse is a very
Aob be auadruped, hut when he is angry
he will not do so. He is ridden on
tie spinal cord by the bride and sad
ly the driver places his foots on the
stirr9ps and divides his lower limbs
across the saddle and drives his ami
nal to the meadow. He has four
legs; two are on the front side and
TWO are afterWard. These are the
weapons on which he runs. He also
defends himself by extending these in
the rear in parallel direction toward
his foe, but this he does only when
he is in an aggrayating mood. There
is no animal like the horse. No soon
er they see their guardian or master
than they always cry for food. but it
is always at the morning time"
