Not Judge Parker's Worst offence.

Secretary TAFT's exposure of the char
acter of Mr.. PARKER's Philippine arth-
mctlc is an incident midway between the
humorous and the pathetic. In his
speech of acceptance Mr.. PARKER said:
Viewing the question even from the standpoint
OF national sclnshness there Is prospect that the
$40 0ooooo expended IN the purchase OF the Islands
and the $3.50 said TO have been since dlsbursea
will ever come back to us"
At indianapolis day before yesterday

about corrected the figures of the man
who does not know, in this fashion:

Balance to exagg Grafton. .,..,....... $Si oooooo
Grotesque yet painful as is this exhibit,
exaggeration is not the most serious
charge that must be brought against
the Democratic candidate with reference
to his treatment of the Philippine ques-
ton as political issue in the present
campaign.
2 A heavier responsibility rests upon
Judge PARKER. The news from Manila
about the revival OF agitation by the old
insurrectionist Filipinos of the class
represented by SANDIKo, the lieutenant
of AGuINALDo, shows only too clearly the
> effect of the reports Of Judge PARKER's
attitude and utterances upon the minds
OF the radicals and revolutionaries in the
islands. Once before. when BRYAN stood
where PARKER stands now, the conse-
quences of such encouragement to false
hopes were reckoned in millions of
expenditure and hundreds Of American
lives. =
fl AS patriot, Judge PARKER should seek
advice from LUKE E. WRIGHT. the Demo-
cratic Governor of the Philippines, and
not from CARL SCHURZ.

The statement in THE srN referred to was
as to the poll OF the two great parties, which
was slightly less In 1900 than In 1906 Tho
total poll, including oil parties and the scat
tering votes, was iso23,37s in 1899 and 49,
Oel $40 in 1900, or slightly more. only 3s,iss,
in spite OF the increase IN the number OF ciu-
zens between the two elections.
The Bryan poll fell of 702 In 1900 as COM
pared with 1895. but the Mckinley poll in
crcased by 'I0a,IA. The explanation OF the
Bryan diminution in 1000 Is that there was a
falling of from 1895 in tho votes cast In the
eleven States OF the old Confederacy OF 5Is,-
49,. The poll for Bryan in those States was
less In 1900 than Is9e'by 27s.eoe.

Completed Houses to Order.

From the Worlds Work.
A short time ago a New York firm under
took an unusual contract. 1t agreed to de-
sign and build house; to make and ar
range the furniture; to decorate the house
and to supply it with napery and bed linen;
glassware, china and kitchen utensils They
carried out the contract. They even en-
gagged servants. Dinner was ready to be
served when the owner first stepped into
the completed house.
The house mentioned had been started by
an architect, and the usual succession of
decorators, furnishers and other purveyors
were to follow. But the owner, who was a
semi-invalid, turned the whole contract over
to this firm. Though plans, drawings and
samples were shown to the owner, the
whole work was completed without his
supervision, for he was absent The con-
tract amounted to about $4,000, and the
result was entirely satisfactory. Such de-
tails as harmonizing the coloring of the
china with the tone of the dining room
and attending to the positions and the
color of the pictures, were carefully worked
out. The cost of this undertaking exactly
matched the sum set aside for 1t.
The same firm moved a bank into tenn
porary quarters over Sunday, built new
building, fitted 1t with vaults, furniture and
furnishings of every kind, even to ink
stands and penracks, and moved back the
books records and other paraphernalia-
again over Sunday-exact1y thirty days
later. The total cost of this contract was
5000.

Wear Loose Clothing in Winter.

Fror, the st. Louis Globe Democrat
During the winter one should allure
tight shoes and tight clothing of all de-
scription if>one would avoid additional suf-
fering from the cold,'' Dr. Gustave Linn
man says.
Drivers of vehicles often have their feet
frostbitten. though they have made every
precaution of which they may have knowl-
edge against just such a contingency aris-
ing, and the reason they suffer from frost
bite is because they have gone to the ex-
IRENE of wearing socks so thick that the
feet are cramped in the shoes, the circula-
ton is thus retarded and frozen toes under
such circumstances are practically ineyita-
BILE. Men who sit still in an exposed place
like teamsters, should never bind the feet
at all. The wrappings for warmth ought
to be on the outside of the shoes, and never
drawn tight.
Even citizen who is not exposed to the
inclemency of the weather and who wears a
tight shoe only in the evening will suffer
severely with cold feet because of the re-
tarded circulation. When the throat is
bound tightly cold in the head NAV de.
velop, and women who lace the waist to an
extreme degree are in danger of contracting
cold in some part of the body which re-
ceives only partial circulation of blood
in consequence. All clothing worn in cold
weather should be loose-not too loose buf
sufficiently so to enable the blood To flow
naturally and freely, and the chances OF
colds and frostbites being contractef; will
be much reduced %hen this is attended to-

BENJAMIN wAIKERbrAD.
Prominent Resident of District Sue
cumbs to Heart Disease.

The sudden death of Benjamin Walker,
one of the Oldest and most highly respect
ed citizens Of the District, occurred at
the home of his daughter, Mrs Sarah E.
Philips, 1916 33d street. Georgetown, about
Z o'clock Saturday evening. THE imme-
date cause of Mr.. Walkers death is be-
lieved to have been heart disease He had
been in feeble health for several months
past, but his condition in mo- way caused
apprehension among members of the
family.
Mr.. Walker was eighty-one years old. He
was born in Monmouthshire, England, and
came to America in 1851. For many years
he resided in Cleveland, Ohio, afterward
removing to California, where he remained
about fifteen years engaged in various
Washington, and has since resided with
his sister. He was a devout member of
the West Street Presbyterian Church, and
always exhibited keen interest in chart
table movements. He was regarded as
man of the most lovable character, and
possessed many noble Christian virtues.
Mr.. Walker was the father of Mr.. George
H. Walker, grand captain general of the
Knights Templar of this city. Three
other sons Frank B. Walker of this city,
of California, and one daughter. Mrs. S. E.
Philips of this city, survive him.
Though the funeral details are not yet
completed, it is probable that the cere-
monies will be conducted at the family
residence tomorrow morning at 1890
in Oak Hill cemetery. Rev. w. G. Alex
ander, pastor of the West Street Presby-
terrain Church, will officiate. Among those
who have been requested to serve as pail
man, Harry Stamford, George Simmons
and Fred C.. CruStOn.

SNOWFALL PREDICTED.
Weather Bureaus Forecast of Weather
Conditions Next "a Hours.

Judging from the predictions emanating
from the Weather Bureau the residents of
Washington who are SO fortunate as to own
sleighs will have additional opportunity to
use them during the next day or two The
officials who observe storms, forecast cold
waves and take notes of various kinds of
atmospheric conditions from afar, stated
today that the indicator points to a snow
fall in Washington tonight and that the
snow will probably be transformed into rain
tomorrow. The forecasted rain, however.
evidently will not be sufficient to wash
away the expected snow, as the Weather
Bureau prophets predict cold wave Tues
day night. There will also be increasing
easterly winds, and the cold weather will
probably continue for several days.
The storm of sleet and rain that visited
Washington yesterday, but which suspend
ed operations today, was the Christmas con-
tribution from the Rocky mountains to the
national capital. The present cold wave
seems to be quite general throughout the
states east of the Rockies, and it is moving
in northeasterly direction. The Weather
Bureau announces this storm as the first
cold wave of the season.
The icy condition of the sidewalks today
has been making life interesting as well as
serious for pedestrians. While there have
been many persons on the streets, yet
all have stepped along gingerly, as though
aware that they were treading in slippery
places. Many a good man has fallen in
Washington, owing to the prevalence of ice
and the failure of the citizens or the munich
pality to clean the sidewalks or sprinkle
sawdust over the slippery paths Others
who avoided a fall have saved themselves
only by the practice of the peculiar feats of
the gymnast and the contortionist
A crossing policeman, who interested him
self considerably today with observing the
experiences of pedestrians, drew a lesson
from Scriptural quotation. If the Bible
verse is true, he said, that 1.-The wicked
stand in slippery Places then those who
fall must be numbered among the good men
of earth
The condition of the streets has not been
conductive to the pleasant perambulations
of those celebrants of the Christmas holi-
day who have generously patronized places
of liquid refreshment. Several cases of "too
much CELEBRATION We're noticed

Organ Grinders Reform.
From the Baltimore Sun. ~ ~

FROM the Baltimore Sun. ~ -&
Now that the United States is enjoying
genuine revival of interest in all things
musical, and American artistic instincts are
being developed as never before, 1t is graft
flying to learn that thes organ grinders are
falling into line. A dispatch from Phila-
delphia states that the grinders of that city
and vicinity have organized in the interest
of higher class of music and that they
nave the hearty cooperation of the hurdy-
gurdy players. For long time the more
cultured musicians among the street piano
and barrel organ fraternity have felt the
need OF grinding out to the public a better
order of music. The Philadelphia organiza-
ton intends to put this reform into imme-
date operation. 1t will sound the knell of
rag-time tunes. 1t has black-listed Sweet
Marie" Annie Rooney" Don't Send My
Boy to Prison" After the Ball, Maggie
Murphy's Home" The Bowery,'' Side
walks of New York." THE Old Oaken
Bucket The Band Played On" ''On the
Banks or the Wabash" 1.-THE Blue and the
Gray and other frivolous and sentimental
ditties which have afflicted the ears of the
public for many years. 1t is a noble re-
form, and the organ grinders and hurdy-
hurdy artists are to be congratulated on
getting into touch with the higher move
ment. NOW let them give us symphonies
and oratorios and our cup of bliss will be
filed TO overfiowing.

OPPOSES WHIPPING POST.
Rev. S. g. Lamkins Makes Topic Sub
feet Of Special Sermon.

Rev. s. Geriah Lamkins, pastor of the
Tenth Street Baptist Church, corner 10th
and streets northwest, preached a special
sermon to the members Of Martha's Tent,
No. %, of ]. R. G. Y. Union at s pm. yes
terday. Referring to the agitation for
the establishment of whipping post in the
District of Columbia he said that those
who advocate the whipping post seem to
forget that reforms are from within and
not from without. Morality and respect
ability. he said. cannot be pounded into
any one. To try 1t here would be a sad re-
Election upon the capital city, and a re-
proach upon the Gospel of the Son of God.
The effect of the whipping post, he con-
tinued, cannot be confined to the culprit
The odious effect of 1t will necessarily at
tach to the community where it is permit
ted. 1t is retrogression rather than progress
sion to permit such chastisement. Instead
of elevating it deadens and brutalizes the
sensibilities. To adopt the whipping post
here: would be long stride backward, he
declared do those who advocate the
whipping post admit the inability of the
Gospel to cure all human ills?" he in
quired. I'VE hope not. An ounce of pre-
vention is worth pound of cure. Why not
advocate compulsory education the aboli-
ton of the rum traffic. the sending of
more missionaries into the field and the
: preaching with more power the Gospel of
the Son of God?"

charged with assault,
Mamie objected to being beaten and
used a fatiron upon Roberts head, with
disastrous effect upon his countenance.

His wife said he had been punished
enough, and Judge Kimball evidently
thoaght so. too, for he took Johnsons
personal bonds to keep the peace.

James Hill, both colored with stealing
chickens from the coop which is in the rear
of her house. The case was before Judge
Kimball this morning, and Mary testified
that she heard a chicken holler,' and de-
manded to know who was in the chicken
coop.
There was no reply and Mary blew police
distress whistle, which brought Policemen
Proctor and Adcock. who, after searching
the coop arrested the men and sent them
to the second precinct station. After hear
ing the evidence Judge Kimball held the
men to await the action of the grand jury
in the sum of 500 each.
