Judge Parker. probably guided by
unwise advisors. is responsible for an
other serious blunder. which has al
ready lost him many friends, not only
in this state. but all over the country
The selection of Cord Meyer. we'll
known all through the country as
representative of the trusts and as
being personally interested in quite
number of them. for the position Of
chairman of the campaign committee,
was serious error OF judgment and is
considered absolutely inexcusible II
anything was needed to emphasize the
general belief that Judge Parker is a
friend Of the trusts, this will do it.
Many serious minded democrats in this
state are wondering, how Judge Parker
will be able to reconcile his attitude
toward the trusts with the antitrust
plank, which is sure to be one of the
most prominent and vital features Of
the democratic platform
The credit Of the city of New York
seems to be considered pretty good,
judging from the fact that the recent
bond issue Of $37.00O,00O. the largest
ever put on the market in single lump
by any city in the United States. was
oVer-subscribed seven times. Consider
ing the fact that municipal bonds are
by no means a subject of speculation
in the bond market, the result is highly
satisfactory. The average price real
lied for the bonds was s1OO.94. about "a
per cent more than the average price
realized at the bond sale in March. |
when 100000 bonds were sold at an
average rate of 10O.10. Among the sue
cessful bidders were several large SYM
dicates and few single firms.
Philadelphia will, after all, have no
opportunity to crow over New York.
When the war department decided L
against permitting an extension Of the

NEW YORK, May 1.-THE political
friends of Judge Parker. who a few
weeks ago were extremely hopeful and
enthusiastic. are no longer so. Not that
they think less of their candidate for
the presidency: but conditions have
arisen right here, in Judge Parker's
own state, which threaten to compli-
cate the political situation to such an
extent that Judge Parker's success be-
comes more than doubtful. The whole
trouble may be traced back to the jeal-
Gus strife for the political control Of
New York city and the whole state of
New York. which is being waged be-
tween Murphy. the leader of Tammany
and Hill. the leader OF the state democ-
racy. Those among Judge Parker's
friends. who understand the situation
and do not shut their eyes intention
ally to the signs on the political hor-
lion. are beginning to doubt that their
candidate will be able to carry the
state, unless something is done soon to
reconcile the hostile faction which, in
this case. is Tammany.

BOWERS ANNOUNCEMENT

himself in this the Sixth District.
Mr.. Bowers popularity when max
ing the race two years ago, was strik-
ingly shown by the surprising deyel-
opnent of strength, he worsting both
of his opponents in the first tilt.
Whether this political following still
clings to him considering the chang
ed Primary Law, the difference in
contestant, remains to be drawn out
by the events of the campaign
We notice that already is there an
other Candidate out for this very
desirable honorary position, and one
from every indication is going to be
a foeman well worthy of the Hon.
Eaton S best steel Upon which aspi-
rant our choice and support shall fall,
we are not now prepared to say, it is
with the putting of Mr. Bowers
name properly before the people of
this county and district that this ar
ticle is devoted, and not to expatiate
upon whom we favor, as we do not
consider the Campaign well enough
under way to walk into the arena IN
behalf of our Favorite. Of this though
we are quite sure, that between Mr..
Bowers and Judge Deavours the peo-
pie will have the chance of splendid
choice for their representative in the
National House, yea no better mate
rial could be put forward by the De-
mOcracy of the district to decide be-
tween, and that being of that high
type of gentlemen that they are, we
shall see a clearly conducted race.

The Quick of Spring.
BY Earle E. Griggs.

Over beyond the hills of the east
the horizon presented yellowish
golden color which bet6 kened the
waking of another day. A yellow
rim appeared, which gradually grew
larger, until it bathed the whole east
in effulgent glory from the rising
sun.
High up against the canopy of the
clear sky, but Il little speck, lark
had riser, soaring and singinga glad
some welcome to the opening day, its
little throat seeming to almost burst
with the glory of its song, and it
needed no great stretch to the ilnagi-
nation for the listening ears to hear
the anthems of the angels come down
to meet the praises of the lark. The
awakening sounds of day met and
merged into the closing sounds of
night
Out in the lot the mules champed
and stirred at the sounds of the COM
ing piowboys, who whistled merrily
as they prepared beast and self for
the day S work in the field
In u short time men and beasts
could be seen making their way to
the plowstocks, sitting sentinel like
in the fields, as if ON guard. The lazy
can! caw" of the crow and the ju-
bilant cry of the jaybird. shrill and
clear, we're waited on the morning
breeze, seeming to give notice of their
marauding on the shoots of tender
corn of the sear future.
Black lines began to appear, cut
into the gray surface of the dew-wet
fields by the sturdily guided and
sturdily pulled pillow, and the fresh
smell of the damp burrows greeted
the nostrils with pungency sweet
to the senses. Sturdily, hour after
hour, worked man and beast, the sun
growing higher and iisher, the at
mospherc more and more balmy, I'M
til the whole world took on Il glory
made of God. Now, clear and sweet,
rang upon the air and waited, echo-
ing and reechoing, came the dinner
signals. Bell and horn seemed to
vie for supremacy, each one as wei
come to the listening ears of the farm-
hands as the sweetest strains of an
organ to the ears of God loving
congregation.
Soon, rested and refreshed, man
and beast would return to the same
monotonous yet pleasuable duties.
Lazily the day wore on, the sun
lowering its way to the west, the
busy barn yard chatter of the fowls
dying away as they made ready for
their early couch, and as the rim OF
the sun sank over the westward hills
nothing could be heard but the occa
sional dispute among the fowls, the
hoarse bark OF the watch dog and the
clank -clank Of the trace chans, swing
ing against the feet of the mounted
plowboy and the tired sides of the
plow-stccd returning from the fresh
plowed fields for supper and for rest
and bed.
Now, the early sounds of twilight
begin to merge into the doing sounds
Iof day, ard the clear note Of the
awakened whippoorwill came from
the swamps to meet the sleepy cav
caw of housekeeping crow
This spring day in Georgia had
closed as beautiful as it had woke
