Heating Plant Operators Win
: Fight i'm Court


In the case of Frank Urbach 1t was
yesterday held by Judge Lewis that it
is not necessary for persons acting as
engineers of steam heating plants to
take out license under the state law.
Urbach was in charge of the heating
plant of three-story fat building,
and was arrested at the instance of r.
H Johnson, state boiler inspector, and
accused of following the profession of
engineer without first having secured
license. The case was made test.
the title being the State of Mime
sofa ex rel. Frank Urbach against P.
c. Justus, sheriff of Ramsey county.
Judge Lewis holds that the law pro-
vides for the licensing of engineers of
steam engines and for the inspection of
boilers, and holds that Urbach could
not be. held to come within the class
to be licensed. The plant that he op-
Grated was solely for heating pur-
poses. with maximum pressure of ten
pounds to the square inch. 1t is also
held that the subject of the law is not
stated in the title.

Where Some of the Fat is Golngs

New York World.
 Almost simultaneously with the am nouneement that Chairman Cortelyou would conduct "an old fashioned cam paign," came reports that the Popu- lists in Indiana. Illinois. and even in Connecticut. are preparing to run a separate electoral ticket. Incidental ly, 1t Is also said that there has been Q heavy slump in certain industrial centres from the Democratic party to the Socialists.
 Mir. Bryan's candidacy dealt a heavy blow to the Populist party. It was left without an excuse for existing. But the times have changed. and warn ing the Populists of the iniquity of an alliance with the Democrats in doubt full States is an ancient Republican trick, played, 1t is sometimes said. to the accompaniment of liberal contribu- tions to the campaign fund. Perhaps the Populists are feeding on Republi- can encouragement again this year Stranger things have happened.
 If the Socialistio party is given aid and comfort, however, it is likely to tnjure the Republicans quite as much as the Democrats Plenty of Socialists have been voting the Republican ticket They look upon Republican paternalism as a partial realization of their principles, and the Socialistic vote will draw as heavily from the administration as from it's opponents
 Altogether, the business of organiz- ing victory by promoting third parties Is likely to make heavy draft upon chairman Cortelyou's campaign fund without corresponding results,

JAPANESE FARMING.

The Kansas City Journal has been gathering statistics about Japanese farming operations. and finds that only le per cent of the farms contain over three and one-fourth acres each. More than half the farmers cultivate less than two acres. many of them having but one. The farms of most of them are mere gardens, as we would look on them. yet Japan imports less food stuffs than probably any other country which is open to the commerce of the world. They come nearer to being a self-sustaining people than any nationality of such importance on earth.
 It must seem strange to the people of this country. especially the farm CTS to compare Japanese farming with ours. Here a farm of forty acres is looked on as a very skinny allowance for a small family, and often they find 1t difficult to secure a living from an area that would sufice for a score of Japanese farmers.
 It is altogether in the system and in the crops grown. They grow rice, barley, rye. wheat, oats. and all the other small grains. together with vege- tables and fruits, and even find room for some cotton. The secret of their success lies altogether in three things, thorough fertilization of the land. high cultivation, and continuous succession of crops. The land is fer tilized as highly as possible. the culti- vation Is thorough and uneeasing, and there is at all times something grow ing. It Is no uncommon thing, we are informed. for four crops to be raised on the same land in the same year. By pursuing this course, and by utilizing everything that can be used for man, beast or fowl. the Japa- nese manage to live almost entirely on their own resources, and are practical ly independent of all the outside world. If we want to know what effect their diet and methods of living have on the people 1t is easy to find out. Tn all the arts and sciences they are advanc- ing as fast as any people on earth, and they are daily giving proofs that as warriors they are about equal to the best. It is evident that their diet and mode of life neither affects their mental or physical powers, for they are but little behind the foremost in either respect Tn short. the Japs are l proving that "a little farm we'll tiu- ed" may make people independent and prosperious.

An Implied Commitment.

ANSN VI N tsNeHlng POSt.
 It IS really an implied compliment to thelr adversaries that the Republicans should show such ,tubilation over MT. Sharles J. Bonaparte's preference for Roosevelt. The tacit implication is that a man who works for civil service reform and municipal betterment would naturally be expected to vote the Democratic ticket At least, there appears to be no other reason for espe- cial rejoicing, because MT. Bonaparte remains with the party to which he has always belonged As The Balti- more News, in his own city. remarks 1t is "a case of the Dutch taking HoI- land" The wide circulation a wear ago of the story that the President had apointed two Democrats. in the nersons of MT. Bonaparte and MT. Conrad. to probe the postal frauds. probably is responsible for the present misundarS standing. Every Republican organ ta bursting with pride over the "recr,tts from the Democracy" One of our com temporaries this morning devotes son,e 800 words to the views of a hoIttno, Democrat who. 1t appears in the IasI line, intends to vote, not for RoosevsIt but for Watson.

\ CoIrPnNpIoUs sPrrCH.

There is no disappointment in the excellent acceptance speech of Hon. Henry c. Deyis. the Democratic nomi- nee for -President. delivered at White Sulphur Springs. West Virginia yesterday. Every word of 1t is htly spoken.
 Hs netss at tho outset the fact that for the flrst tias since the Civil War, nominee on the national ticket has been taken from that section of our common country that lies south of Mason and Dixon's line and asks. "Is it not significant of a closer and truer brotherhood among us---~e happy recognition of the obliteration of all sectional differences which led to and followed that unhappy struggle" He heartily endorses the platform upon which he was nominated and. with the dent. regards the present monetary standard of value as irrevocably estab- lished. He cites the fact that in the campaign preceding the last election much stress was laid by Republican speakers upon the prosperous condition of the country and that forsbodings were heard of the i'll results, especially to the laboring man, which would fol- low any change in the political com- plexion of the government. He admits that the times were then good, but 1t Is no less fact. while there has been no change in the party in power. many of the evils prophecied have come under Republican rule. He points to the fact that many of the factories. mills. mines and furnaces that four years ago were in active operation, unable to supply the demand are now closed. and that those that are open are being operated with reduced force on short hours. Then. he says, wages were high. labor was scarce and there was work for all. Now work Is scarce, many wage earners unemployed and wages reduced. The apprehension which now prevails in business circles and the present unsatisfactory indus trial conditions. in the country, in his opinion. seem to demand a political change.
 A table of figures taken from the re- ports of the Secretary of the Treasury which MT. Davis presents, shows that the cost of government has largely in- creased under Republican rule; that the expenditures per capita have risen from $5.77 in 1893. under President Harrison to s7.1o in 1904 under Presi- dent Roosevelt, while it was only s5.1o in 1897 under President Cleveland.
 The tribute which MT. Davis pays to the character of Judge Parker is un- usually fine. and accurate and truthful beyond question. His conception of Judge Parker's character leads MT. Davis to say:
 It Is not the orator or man of letters, but the man of reserve force, of sound Judgment, of conservative methods and steadiness of purpose. whom the peo- pie have called to the ofice of the Presidency; notably in the Contests be- tween Jefferson and Burr, Jackson and Clay, Lincoln and Douglass, Grant and Greely, Cleveland and Blaine,
 The speech is short, but it is one to be read and carefully studied by every voter in the land and The Adver- tiser comments 1t to the thoughtful consideration of its readers.

It Should He Solid.

NoTIolk NlrRlnld-P1lOt.
 The fact is that there is nothing for a self-respecting Southerner to do but be Democrat while the policy of the Republican party remains what it has been since its organization. The attitude of the Republican party has been throughout its existence one of consistent, persistent, rapid and inex cuseable hostility to the South. It has outraged every sensibility of the South ern people, It has endeavored to make the Senegambian the master of the Saxon. It has contriVed a fiscal policy that bled the South of millions-un- told millions-for the benefit of North ern manufacturers. It has robbed the Southern @people to pension unworthy Northerners. It has threatened the South with bayonets at the polls, with a reduction Of it's representation, with Federal interference in the economic affairs of the States. And In all It's long career of dominance in national affairs 1t has never-mark the lang uage-never honored a single Southern man with a really distinguished of- flee. No Southern man has ever had potent voice in the affairs of the nation under a Republican administration
 Why. under these circumstances. should the South be other than soItdly Democratic? Why should 1t give sim gle electoral vote to a party that has always persecuted and still persecutes it-a party that has plunderad and pestered it for forty years7
 The solidity of the South is the high est compliment to its character and fn- telligence.

GEN. M'ALPIN BOLTS ROOSEVELT.
Former Treasurer of Republican State Committee Will Not Support
 the President.


 the President.
 New York Herald.
 Gen. E. A. McAlpin, a lifelong Re- publican and for many years one of the prominent officials of the Republican State organization. has informed his friends that he will not be able to sup port Roosevelt for President.
 Although General McAlpin made an- nouncement of his position in semi public manner. the secret has been care- fully guarded, and 1t was not until yes- terday that the facts became known outside a small circle of General Mc- Alpin's Republican associates. They have remained silent in the hope that hs may have changed his mind when he now Is.
 General McA1pin expressed his opin- ion of the Republican national ticket isfaction has arisen in the Twenty-sev- enth Assembly District over the lead ership of James W. Perry, and a move- ment has been started to choose an- lected by common consent to lead the opposition. When the arrangements had been perfected committee con- sisting of Thurlow Weed Barnes, pr. E. Valentine Buck, Martin Mauer, Ru- dolph waldner Louis s. Grenner. vii lard Howard and Charles A. Schwab, called upon him at his oflce to make him a formal offer of their support for lIC lodueTSHlp.
 Cannot Support Roosevelt.
 VI! am very sorry, gentlemen" Gen. eral McAlpin is reported to have said to them.a"but I cannot accept your of- fer. I have been a Republican all my life. but cannot support Roosevelt for President"
 There was much surprise among the members of the committee at this an- swer. General McAlpin. has been Pres ident of the Republican National League. and he served for years as treasurer of the Republican State Com spring by Louis Stern. He held the office of AdJutant General under Gov ernor Morton.
 Finding persuasion of no avail, the committee was forced to accept Gen. eral McAlpin's refusal, although his name appears as one of the trustees of the Eagle Republican Club, which will be the central organization of the op- position to Perry. The officers of the club are: Thurlow Weed Barnes, Pres ident; Dr. F.. Valentine Buck, First Vice-President; Charles Russell Burke, Second Vice-President; Rudolph wald- ner.>Treasurer; A: F.. George. Record ing Secretary; Willard Howard. Finan- cial Secretary! Louis S. Grenner, Chair man of the Executive Committee; Trus- tees, Edward c. OBrien. Gen. E. A Mo Alpin, Gen. Howard Carroll. Edward Einstein. J. A. Ludwig. William Rob erts, Gerome Gazzo and George E. Gil- gore.
 General McAlpin's participation in the affairs of the Eagle Republican Club does not commit him to campaign activity since the purpose of the club the Twenty y-seventh District So far as could be learned last night General Mo Alpin retains his membership in the Union League and Republican clubs.

 which every public and private inter- est Is tmperilled.
 Besides commenting himself to all
 thinking people for his timely deliver- ance upon this burning question of the hour, Judge Parker has made an ex-
 ceedingly effective appeal to the people
 for a judfcious reform of our existing
 barbarous tariff enormities and excres- cents for an honest execution of exist
 ing laws against understanding
 trusts, for the suppression of every re- form of organized despotism or law lessness and for a sound colonial pol
 icy, which will not contradict the fun
 damental principle of our government and put to shame our boast of carry ing free institutions to every land over
 which the American flag flies. Com ing from some men, these utterances
 might be challenged as the artful and ingenious of an insincere and untrust- worthy candidate for the highest office within the gift of any nation. But emanating from man who has given
 magnificent proofs that he means what he says and says what he means and that If elected he will fearlessly carry out his pledges, the words of the Eso- pus speech have everywhere warmed the American heart and prepared 1t to give Judge Parker the most attentive and responsive hearing.
 The campaign had been marked by general apathy until he spoke. No
 wonder. For two years the advocates of MT. Roosevelt have been most
 candidacy, until the people were tired
 out with their stale reiterations. Now
 the time has come for a calm, yet earn est, presentation of the real issues in the white light of unbiased reason and of temperate, honest controversy.
 which will illuminate the public mind. Every intelligent patriot. irrespective
 of party. will rejoice that in Judge Par ker's candidacy, the country is to be and sane leader and that. in any case, we shall have for the next four years at least a strong opposition-that in- Indispensable bulwark of all good gov ernment.
 Among the salient features of the Icampaign, as 1t Is seen today. is the action of tse Parker Constitution Club of New York, organized yesterday, un- der very high auspices, many of whose
 members were supporters of Mckinley, but are now accentuating the demand for "Constitutionalism versus Imperial ism." This Is but one of many signs for a return to the historic principles
 and traditions which lie deeply imb"'
 ded in the hearts of the American peo- ple
