MEN WHO favor President Roosevelt's poll
cies should remember that they Gamble carried
out only by the election of a. Republican
Congress. 1T ns.sua ass -
"a cowARDLY Ahdistradding platform" is
the way Col. Bryan characterizes the structure
upon which Judge Parker is running for the
Office of President.
The REGISTRATION: officer himself did not
know Judge Parker and bad to ask him his
name. It is wonderful to have candidate as
well known as that.
Ex-PREsIDEET CLEvKLAND's book, in which
be defends his administration in the matter of
the bond issues and the Chicago strike, will
not be circulated as a Democratic campaign
document.
THE DIFFERENCE between the Republican and
Democratic tactics seems to be thus far that
the Republicans make charges that they can
prove, and the Democrats make charges that
they can't.
The ST.. LOUIS Globe Democrat of 2lst instant
said 1.-The Worlds Fair attendance TO date
is about IL, 100000. If the rest of the folks are
coming November will probably bethe busiest
month Of the year."
FREE TRADE and Democratic so-called "low
tariff means ultimate free trade-means not
only free trade with Europe but free trade with
the starvlings Of India-with the keen Japa-
nese, who live on rice and salt fish, and with
ali the underpaid labor of the world.
The "cHEAPNEss" that our Democratic free
trade friends are seeking means an ultimate
cheapness of men, an inferiority ofcitizenship,
cheapness that submits men to squalor of
living. In order to cheaper goods for the mo-
ment they would cheaper our institutions.
The DEMOCRATIC managers who were in
Weighing SO loudly against the Roosevelt ''ma-
chine few months ago are now compelled
to admit that his machine is none other than
the enthusiastic admiration of the great BODY.
ofvoters. When that machine gets started the
professional politicians have to keep their
hands off the brakes.
On SUNDAY last Rev. DR.. F. Phi. Henning-
hansen celebrated the fortieth anniversary of
his passionate of st. Stephens German Evan
gelical Lutheran Church, Hanover and Ham,
burg streets, Baltimore. Special services were
held throughout the day, including a suitable
sermon by the pastor. The freedom of the
church from debt was celebrated at the same
time.
Mr.. EDGAR H CANS, a prominent Baltimore
lawyer and member of the well known firm
of Cans & Haman, declared on Monday last
for President Roosevelt. He has been life
long Democrat but did not support Bryan in
either of his campaigns. Mr.. Cans is quoted
as saying: II intend to cast my vote not only
for Roosevelt and Fairbanks, but will vote
the whole Republican ticket"
SHALL OUR people who consume twice as
much food per head as the European work
men, who expend six times as much per head
for education, who cheerfully contribute Of
their earnings in many other directions for
the progress Of this country. and stand ready
to defeHd it. if need be- with their lives-shall
they permit foreign manufacturers from dis
lance Of many thousands of miles to carry on
business here without contributing in any way
to our institutions or Government?
Thus FAR the Democratic party seems to con-
sist entirely of statements in the negative.
We have been told what Parker will not do if
he is President, and what the party will not do
lift gets into power, and at the same time we
have been given to understand that Parker is
good, strong man. who will do something,
but not the things which Roosevelt has done.
But inasmuch as the things which Roosevelt
and the Republican party have done and pro-
pose to do in the future cover surprisingly
large ground, it would be interesting to know
what the evolutions Of Parker would be out
side this forbidden territory.
Mr.. JACOB RosENrHAL is Baltimore lawyer
who for twenty eight years has nearly always
predicted the results of Presidential elections.
OF the coming one he says: ut does not re-
quire the gift of prophecy to make asuccessful |
forecast Of the pending Presidential contest.
In my opinion the so-called doubtful states |
of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, West |
Virginia and Indiana viii. one and all, be car
ried by the Republican party. Barring this
State, / seriously believe that Parker and Davis |
will be fortunate if they secure as many votes
in the Electoral College as Bryan did. The
tide has been running strong and straight to-
wards Republican victory for some weeks,
and it is clear to me that it will be at its food
by election day."
BEFORE DRAWING the jury for the November
term Of the Circuit Court for Washington
county last week Judge Keedy said personal |
requests, by letter and otherwise, to put the |
name of the person making the request in the |
jury box. and therequests of third parties to |
put the names of others in the box has become |
q matter of almost daily occurrence. He cited |
the decision of the Court of Appeals in 10Th |
Maryland, which in effect is that Judge |
must not place name in the box at the sug-
gestion of anyone and that q jury so drawn is
illegal; that judge must select the 200 names |
from the tax list and the poll-books. Judge
Keedy added: "In order that there may be
no grounds for questioning the legality of any
jury drawn by me shall place no name in the
jury box requested either in person or sugges-
ted by any other person. The reason. as
stated in the above case, why suggestions
should not be received, is that the person may
be interested in securing the attendance of
particular individuals to serve on the jury. |
The Court of Appeals further says: This dis
qualification of person arising from the fact
that his name has been recommended or sug-
gested still prevails, and as consequences it
follows that such a person. must be excluded
from the jury The law is strictly followed
in the other counties of the Fourth Judicial
Circuit and propose to adhere to and follow
the same in this county"
