PARKER'S ACCEPTANCE.

In his speech of acceptance, deliv
cred to the Democratic notification
committee al Rosemount Wednesday
Judge Parker proved beyond all cavi
that he is not trimmer, He dealt il
no meaningless platitudes. nor did he
find refuge in evasions. In calm and
dignfed manner he discussed the
! most important questions that are
before the public now, explained his
views and gave his reasons for his
faith
He neither minced words nor avoid.
ed embarrassing topics He even went
bit out of the way TO refer to the
Colorado situation, where. on the one
hand, innocent men have been slain
with dynamite. and on the other, in.
nocent men have been imprisoned
without trial and deported from the
state through the unjust usurpation of
authority
AS to the tariff Judge Parker plain
" tells the protected monopoies that
the protection afforded in many cases
is more than ample and ought to be
reduced.
For the existence rn6 conduct OF
the giant combinations of capital the
Democratic nominee rightfully fixes
the blame, not ON account of any lax

the uuwilingness of Republican OF
ficials to enforce them The lave
that have been framed for the pur
pose of relieving the people from the
effects of this evil are ample in their
scope and only wait for courageous
and patriotic servants of the people to
apply them.
The stubborn policy of the present
administration in refusing to permit
the Filipinos TO take the slightest step
toward independence calls forth caus.
tic and well deserved criticism. How,

Many will not agree with Judge
Parker In his expression of belief
that no president should be a candi

doubt his sincerity or deny that he
backs up the assertion with forceful
reasons. 1t is matter of common
knowledge that Mr.. Roosevelt began
