time. beggars would think up stories to
excite the charitable; that pride in their
profession would prompt them to do this,
If nothing else did, and if they had no
such pride, that due regard for results
would prompt them at least to think up
stories that would hold water; but the
proverbially lazy beggar will not even
take the trouble to do that.

day that he wished I'd help him to get
something to eat. that he'd been laid up
in a hospital three weeks, having had a
fall of a scaffold. | gave him a nickel,
realizing. of course. that his story was
old. but not realizing at the moment, as
| did later, that It was just now impos-
sible.
There's been a general strike on in
this town for six weeks or more during
which time nobody has been on a scaffold
here at all, and so nobody could have
fallen off one. I doubt If this man that
asked me for themoney had ever been on
a scaffold anywhere, but he certainly
hadn't been on one, and so couldn't have
fallen off one, as by him described-not
here anyway. But he hadn't even tried
to invent story to fit the situation. Ha
Just fell off the scaffold. and let it go at
that.
Lazy? Why, lays no name for Il;
and was too lazy. or too thoughtless to
eralize the impossibility of the story at

money on scaffold stories for at least six
weeks, anyhow; and so think shall be

Why our Vinol is the Greatest
Health Restorer and Strength
Creator Known to Medicine.

Because Vinol contains in concen-

alive elements found in cod liver oil,
but without a drop of oil to nauseate

wherever old-fashioned cod liver oil or
emulsions will do good, Vinol will do
far more good.
Because we have never sold anything
In our store equal to Vinol to restore
health and create strength for old peo-
ple. weak, sickly women and children,
nursing mothers, and after severe

Vinol cures hacking coughs, chrome

Lacking material from which to create
issues upon the past and present conduct
OF the Republican party, the Democrats
have been taking long and soulful look
into the future. this fall, and their re-
ports of what they see there in the dim
time to come are fearsome.
But nobody is scared. The dreamer
alone is disturbed by his nightmare. ex-
cept for chance neighbor who may hear
and wonder at the awakening shrieks of
the retching of indigestion. The visions
of delirium portend nothing outside of the
sufferers personality. The conjured
wraiths OF the trance medium are visible
only to the contortionist. and perhaps a
few dupes at the contrived seance.
The country is not going to the dem
milton bowwows." The people of the
United States have no desire to start
an empire upon the ruins of their re-
public. They will not even listen seri-
ously to the suggestion of such thing.
The Philippine Islands are going to be
taken care of. They will be free in the
hest sense of the word. The Panama
canal has been started by honora BILE
MEANS and it will so be finished.

PARKER'S FAILURE.
Inability to Arouse Either Interest or
Enthusiam.

Alton b. Parker made an unfortunate
impression by his speech OF acceptance.
This impression was deepened by his
long-delayed and much-corrected letter.
By these two efforts the Democratic can
didate must be judged. for he has never
done anything noteworthy, nor said any
thing to be remembered, either before
or since his nomination.
Upon every point raised by the candi-
date in his two utterances Mr.. Parker
has failed to carry the sympathies or
the Judgment of the people. In the first
place the lack of mental grasp revealed
by the man named for the highest office
in the gift of the people is painfully evil
dent to the most careless reader Of his
formal statements of opinions and con-
victions upon national issues.
The effect is that of a narrow intelli-
gence laboring to meet expectations
founded upon an estimate it cannot full
fill. The absence of anything like broad
views OF national questions is felt, nat
urally, when one remembers that the
utterances under examination are put
forth for the set purpose of gaining the
SURFACES of the entire people of this i'm
mense country.
WEIGHED AND FOUND WANT
ING" Is the verdict already passed upon
Mr.. Parker 5 intellectual makeup, by the
intelligent, instructed, thoughtful men
and women OF his own party, as well as
those of the Republican persuasion.
With the emotional, the enthusiastic
and more or less irrational masses of the
people, Mr.. Parker's failure is still more
conspicuous. He has none of the fire of
sentiment, the eloquence, the magnetism
which drew the proletariat irresistibly to
Bryan in the early days of the free sill
yer mania. Parker repels.
And, so, the Democratic candidate has
failed. He has neither the powerful
individuality OF the last President elect
ed by his party, nor the popular quail
ties of that party's candidate in 1900
and 1896. Dull, secretive. cold, Mr.. Par
ker Is utterly unable to arouse enthusi-
asm, or even interest, in his candidacy.
No shufflng, no shifting OF ground such
as he has attempted in the matter of the
pension order, the trust suits. the Phil
ippine and other problems, could for one
moment hoodwink wide-awake people.
His defeat was written in the book of
fate long before David Bennett Hill had
liked upon him that baleful glance which
sees only what can be of use to the most
selfish and INSCRIPTIONS master of polit-
ical wire-pulling in existence.

Mr.. Carl Schurz made long speech

which he assailed President Mckinley
and denounced the policy of his admin

think l am performing mine.

Edward Atkinson, one of the so-called
anti-imperialists, recently prepared a
newspaper article in which he attempted
to show that the Philippines may have
cost, indirectly, over billion dollars.
The letter probably was prepared for the
benefit of Judge Parker, for the Demo-
cratic candidate gives Atkinson as au-
thority for the statement that the tax
payers have paid nearly a billion and a
quarter dollars for the islands. What
was Atkinson paid for his misleading

these are the odds to-day that paralleled
the odds on Mckinley at the close of the
campaign in 1900
The Elbert County tribune., 1904-11-03

What kind of n President would Par
ker make if he should not prove more
accurate and reliable as chief executive
than he does campaign talker?
Parker says the Philippines cost ST.
200.000,000. but the records show that
the total amount paid out for the islands
is only $1S9,0O0,000. 1t is becoming ap-
parent that "Ananias," instead of cal
ton" should be the first name OF the
Democratic candidate.
The Elbert County tribune., 1904-11-03

The man who advocates the destruc-
ton of all trusts and corporations is a
political quack and demagogue. Large
corporations employ hundreds of thou
sands of men. To destroy them would
throw an army of workingmen out of en-
ployment. The thing to do is to enforce
the laws against corporations and trusts
which are violating them and thus put
all on law-obeying basis. That
has been President Rooseyelt's policy
and will continue to be.

OIney and Cieveiand's Monumental

The Democratic donkey is trying to

Kuropatkin and Oyama between them
have not yet succeeded in sacrificing 100.-
600 lives in the bloody struggle over
Manchuria, but Judge Parker, with one

Philippines. 1t is evident the Judge

mouth or he may decimate the universe
