GROWS GREATER EVERY DAY

As the rugged, sterling character of Judge Alton s. Parker becomes opened to the public, stronger and stronger every day does he become in the admiration of the people Indeed the personality of the man seems to be so compelling as to dazzle the hardened correspondent, accustomed to greatness in all lands.
 In these days when speculator tells how he and accomplices made $z6,0o0,o00 at the expense Of other people in one deal, it is refreshing to ind an old fashioned American citi- zen, the unQuestioned leader of the simple rural community in which he lives, with his little sum of $30,00O worth of property, representing his in- heritance from an estate, and the ac- eumulations of thirty-six years of hard and honorable work.
 They raised MEN on the rocky farms of New England over a hundred years ago, and Judge Parker has in- herited the rugged ancestry of his Massachusetts and Connecticut ances- try, with the corners smoothed down by the weathering influence of a full modern life. His has been a career, which used 10 be typically American, before We fell under the glamour oi such sweet smelling terms as Cap tains of Industry
 Working on his fathers farm, teach ing in the public school house at six teen, thrashing the scheol bully. saving money to take a collegiate course al Cornell University, then sacrificing his college education to help his father out of trouble, studying law, practic- ing at the bar, and mounting to the head of the judiciary of the Great Elm pire State of New York, show that he has always been master of every sit nation that he has been called upon 10 face Managing his three farms, working in the hay fields, and all the time a Chief Judge in every inch, heI is an intensely human and character isic American figure.
 This is the man who is more than all likelihood to be the Democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States. There are many un- certain things in politics, but there are few certainties, and one of them is that Judge Parker will be nominated long before the convention is held at Saint Louis. Never before has there been such a marvellous change in pnb- lie opinion in so short a time as during the week which is just passing. His name Is passing from the east to the west more rapidly than did ever can didate's name before The St. Louis convention will simply be ratification meeting of what is growing to be over whelming public opinion. The people want, and the people will have a con servative man to stand at the head of the government. Never has the United States had in its executive chair, a demagogue nor a funny" man. When the people come to make choice for their chief executive, their unfailing good sense may be trusted to select one who will reflect credit upon themselves. They will do il again in 1904. The outlook for Dem ocracy was never more promising than at present The flummery of the spectacular -grandee'' style in vogue in Washington under the regime exist in <hara hu tho nahc ,, al oan.tiop cd by president who has no law save that unto himself, is sickening to the American people, and who desire a return to the rugged simplicity of life such as that of Judge Alton B. Parker.
