Thomas W. Lawson, who has always

Much OF this installment Il devoted
to a scathing arralgnment OF Roose-
velfs friend and trusted adviser. J.
Edward Addicks, OF Delaware. The
incidents leading to Addicks entrance
into the Boston gas field are fully mar.
rated. The gas mans alleged imam

went out Of his way to condemn him
and expressed contempt for any one
who would have political relations
with him.
During the first two years Of his In
cumbency OF the Presidential Office
Roosevelt continued his opposition to
Addicks and Addicksism, and used his
influence to bring about his overthrow.
He Joined hands with TIE honest and
decent Republicans Of Delaware and
helped them to "down" Addicks and
save the honor OF their State and

ACCIDENTS FOLLOW POLICY

I've been in the accident insurance
business just four days." said the dys-
peptic-looking man to a Chicago Inter
Ocean man. I've written six policies,
and already two of the people have put
In claims. It's a funny thing what eff
feet an accident policy seems to have
on some people. They will live for IS or
40 years and never get a scratch. Just

policy is thing to keep him from get
ting hurt and that no matter what he
does or where he goes he is safe. One
man asked me the other day II there
would be any danger to him in taking
out the policy. was afraid Of the risk
and told him he was certain to be killed.
It's a strange way for people to look at
the thing, but they do, and I'm about
ready to go back to my old job Of selling
washing powder to unsuspecting house

This utterance from Mayor Collins

the Republican Club OF New York,

PRAISE FROM SIR HUBERT.

Judge Parker's Public Character
FIoquently Extolled By the New
York Tribune.
Judge Alton B. Parker's refusal to
stand for the Presidency on a plat
form which ignores the money Ques-
ton and leaves in binding force as
Democratic doctrine the free silver
coinage planks OF 1896 and 1900 does
signal credit to the firmness and eour-
age Of his public character.
Judge Parker Is widely respected In
this State for the conspicuous ability
he has shown In politics and on the
bench, and for the purity and integrity
Of his private life.
Every man who knows him esteems
him.
The Republicans Of New York have
nothing but good words to say about
him in his private capacity and In his
judicial activities.-NeW York Tribune,
