In his address accepting the demo-

Judge Parker aligns himself with the
most enlightened and patriotic
thought of the nation. He pronoHnc-

to constitutional methods Of govern

the powers conferred, respectively. up
on the executive, legislative, and ju-

law. He speaks with no uncertain
voice for the right OF the Individual

to live and work where he will. and
to pursue any lawful trade or busi-
ness" Moreover. he calls attention to
the fact that it is the first duty Of the
government to protect the citizen in
these rights. In respect OF the tariff.
the democratic nominee Is exceedingly
conservative. What ne says about the
necessity for amendment and reform

ant point from what has been
said by republican leaders. such
as Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Mckinley,
and promised and prefgured I'm yari-

ever. to explain that whereas the
democratic party cannot In the nature
of things effect actual legislation OF
any kind whatever, and can, I'm the
event of success this year, only guar
antee the people against further sac

party which has been In absolute con-
troll since 1897. has peifher redeemed
nor attempted TO redeem a single one
of its numerous pledges Of relief. Evt-

It's always refreshing to find a man
with a mind Of his own; not one who
thinks he knows more than anybody
else, but a man who is not satisfied to
swallow what someone else says, with
out submitting it to a reasonable test
in his own mind. At the recent CON-
vention of farmers in this city one of
the hopeful features OF the meeting
as it appeard to US, was the sharp
individuality Of thought which char
acterized tie entire exercses.-Ral-

LAYS BRIBERY TO
LAND LAW LOBBY
Senator Clark Declares Lobby
Works for Large Holders
80: Scents Frauds.

Washington, April In the senate
yesterday Mr.. Clark of Wyoming critl-
cised the operation of the forest re-
serve law, saying that under it two
thirds of the area. of his own county
had beeen withdrawn from entry.
This was not the fault of the law, nor
We're the frauds committed under the
desert land law or the timber and
stone act chargeable to the law. More
over, he did not believe that the
frauds are as extensive as charged.
He charged the agitation for a re-
large bodies Of railroad grant lands in
the west. The effect of the repeal, he
said, would be to take out Of the mar
ket every acre of public land But the
public lands still would be sold, Mr..
Clark said, and he outlined system
Of substitution by means Of forest re-
serve scrip secured thru the DISPOSE
for other lands, saying that if Mr.. Glib
sons bill should become a law the
value Of all this land would be
doubled. He added:
Never in the history of land legis-
lation has there been such determined,
such a bare-faced lobby as is behind
this legislation, and which has been
pressing it for the past three years.
It is no secret that one of the largest
holders of these lands recently has
boasted at public banquet that he
had contributed $4,000 for the pur-
poses of this BILL" E## r..
Mr.. Peterson said his sympathy with
movement for the repeal of the land
laws, was due to the fact that he. lived
in a public land state and had oppor-
tunity to observe. the operations OF
these laws. He expressed the opinion
that eight out of ten acres of land in
Colorado and Wyoming had been Sc
cured thru fraudulent means.
Mr.. Clark know nothing about
conditions in Colorado, but what the
senator says Of wyoming is unquali'
fiedly untrue. -. S-ss .

The Red Cross of Japan.
PROFIT BY AMERICAN LESSON.

VKTOMAN is forever a chief and
wv inseparable factor in the war
w fare of nations. The Red
Cross knows no friend, nor foe
nor does it recognize the word enemy
In Japan the Red Cross Society is under
the patronage of the Empress Of Japan.
During Japan's war with China some
thing like ten thousand women volun-
teered to 60 out as nurses to the front,
and this number has been increased for
service in the present campaign. There
is no more efficient hospital service in
the world than the Japanese, for they
have profited by the knowledge of
American nurses.
Her rare appearance on the battle
field or in the hospitals-nursing cheer
ing and comforting the wounded or
dying - is very small part of what
woman does to promote country's
fighting capacity. She does more than
roll bandages, scrape lint and send out
dainty boxes of provisions for husbands,
brothers and sweetlearts in the field.
The wives and mothers, and the sis
tiers and sweethearts that will become
wives and mothers - contribute some
thing more in addition to this cheering
comfort and inspiration.
Every male fighter, however brawny
and heroic was born of woman; was
once feeble infant, drawing along
with his very breath of life from his
mothers own physical resources the
hardihood, 1nentc,' stamina and high
courage that becomes nations final
aud impregnable defense in the last
dread arbitranlent of war. PEE
Shall we say that women contribute
the bandages and provisions? No: They
contribute the fghters!' -s"ss
What sort of men will the women
Of this present day contribute to the
nation and the worlds? What sort of
help and encouragement and inspira-
ton can woman be who is enfeebled
and broken down by the diseases and
weakness peculiar to her sex2 Can
such woman maintain the position that
belongs to her on the battlefield of
everyday exertion and struggle? Can
she hope to be capable mother or
efficient wife? *
The dreadful sufferings which women
endure solely because of the delicate,
special organization which makes them
wives and mothers, leads thoughtful
person to consider whether it is most
woefully deplsrable on their own sad
account or for the sake of the other
lives that are sooner or later dependent
on their own.
1t is certain that the great work
which has been done toward restoring the
physical capacity of women in the last

Toxic, March z20.-The striking fea-
sture of the opening of the diet was
that the ceremony progressed both
within and without the houses of par
lament in unbroken silence.
: But for the words of the emperor
himself, this national event, at the
time of a great historic crisis, was a
performance in rpantomime. There
were no other speaking parts, no
chorus. r.z
Both princes and populace ex-
pressed their veneration for the SOW

more impressive than professional
music, cheers, or booming cannon. 1t
was silence SO eloquent that it clothed
each movement of the mikado with
mystery. -
