ELSEWHERE we publish the prom
inent features of Judge Parker's
setter of acceptance. That the docu.
ment rs q strong one is evidenced by
comments of the press. AS an index
to these We reproduce an extract
from an editorial in the Washington
Post-which probably news as near
to an independent line in politics as
any paper in America. Candidate
Parker's letter will undoubtedly in
fuse life into campaign which has
seemed to drag phenomenally for
both parties. He is not content to
rest with a ringing acceptance of
President Roosevelt's challenges, but
becomes aggressive, in many points
putting the Republicans on the
defense.

IT is matter of much comment
that the worlds greatest financier,
j. Pierpont Morgan, and the Presi-
dent of the worlds greatest Republic
should have had so many miraculous
escapes within few months. Prob
ably half a dozen times within the
past year Mr.. Morgan has been in d
fire, shipwreck or railroad disaster
and come out unscathed. Mr.. Roose-
welt has had almost an equally for
tunate record. We hear much about
these two dignitaries bearing charmed
lives.

Break In Wheat.

Wheat sold in the st. Louis market
at 81 90, the first time wheat has
sold that high since 1898. 1t was a
sensational advance, accompanied by
great excitement, and the registering
of $l.20 for the wheat on Change
produced wild cheering on the floor.
Under the weight of heavy realiz-
ing sales the Chicago wheat market
broke this week, December option
selling of to $l.103. The low point
on May was reached at $I.113. De-
cember closed at $1.1Oi.

A SHORT report last week told of
murderer's being sentenced to one
year in the penitentiary from Lam
caster county's court. Lancaster's
court did not adjourn until this
week; the closing proceedings
note that one Rice, agent at White
Stone for Adams Express Co, was
given one year in the penitentiary
for sppropriating hundred or so
dollars of that company's funds,
and B. Z. Purcell, charged with
attempting to drown a girl near
Weems, was sent to the insane asylum.
The verdicts in the cases of Rice
and Purcell have not elected any
great comment; probably they were
fairly dealt with.
Not so with the sentence for hon.
icide. On all sides throughout the
section where the killing occurred
people wonder at justice of this kind.
Not many months ago a man was de-
clared innocent Of homicide that
seemed cold-blooded and done in the
presence Of several score of people.
Our people wondered, and concluded
that it was one of those occasional
cases were justice miscarries; and so
comment soon ceased. Upon the heels
of it comes another killing, with less
provocation. According to the popu-
lar opinion, there could have pos
sibly been but one of two SEN
fences that would have Justly met
the case-hanging or Is years in the
penitentiary. If Walton was guilty
at all one years sentence is a
perversion of justice. If not guilty
he should have been cleared. All
here that know of the circumstances
or heard the testimony at the coro-
ner's inquest over Mariners body
have no doubts that it was a mali
cious killing.
1t will be seen now that our stric-
lures of some weeks ago upon the
personnel of our juries were we'll
founded. Perhaps in all juries there
may be found a person or persons
not qualified to act in such respon-
sible position. We are glad to note
that Judge Wright took occasion
to announce from the bench that
he realized that the jury list from
which his juries were drawn chad
become threadbare"-to use his
exact language-and stated it as
his purpose to make out new
list as soon as he could, and requested
that his sentiments be voiced
throughout the length and breadth
of the county. We commend most
cordially this purpose on the part of
our Judge, as according to our way of
thinking there is no duty which we
know of as more important than
this. To say that Lancaster hasn't
a hundred men well qualified, I'M
biased and above reproach from
which to shape venire would be to
cast upon US a reproach which no
decent citizen could bear without
vigorous protest.

"TREAT everybody with the utmost
courtesy, even TO the extent of being
imposed upon. 1t will pay you a
big dividend upon the capital in
vested" says a worthy and virtuous
exchange. This is mighty good
Bible doctrine, turning the other
cheek. But we are reminded of the
words Of a consecrated bishop. When
a struggling preacher, being wronged
grievously, he pulverized his enemy,
giving as his excuse that God
made him a man before he did a
preacher. Some of the most devout
theologisns have declared, and as
sumed, that there was time to
preach and time to fight. Person
ally we would rather preach, and our
inclinations are in accord with our
contemporaries feelings and remarks.
