OUT FOR ROOSEVELT.

Many Of the old line newspapers are
renouncing Democracy and are coming
out for Roosevelt. The latest Journal
to take such commendable action is the
Boston Pilot, the oldest newspaper in
the United States devoted to the irish
people and to the Catholic church.
The Pilot never but once before left its
place in the Democratic column and
that was when James G. Blaine was
the Republican candidate. The Pilot
holds that the president ''has been in
the public service for over twenty years
during all Of his msnhood's life in
fact-as state legislator, civil service
Commissioner. assistant secretary Of
the navy, commander or the Rough
Riders. governor of New York, vice
pre.ident, and president of the United
States and no man can point to a
single act OK his, public or private. in
fuenced by prejudice of race or creed
or color, except prejudice in favor of
the poor. oppressed or the despised -
The Pilots stand has caused no end of
comment in New York and the New
England states

Have you paid for your REPUBLICAN
NO POLITICAL ISSUE.

One would at least imagine that the
Democratic press would seek to COM
pliment Judge Parker on his speech of
acceptance even though the Republican
organs did call attention to his many
deficiencies. The Pittsburg Dispatch
is . strong supporter of Democratic
principles but the way it criticises the
Sage of Esopus is q caution 1t says
the speech is entirely barren of any
reason why the nation should take
away the management Of public affairs
from Republican hands and bestow it
On the Democracy. The Judge says
even il his party should WIN they could
not change the tariff during his admin
istration but could only pave the way
for . change in case of further success
There are many Democrats who had
strong ideas as to protection and they
feel that the safest way is to refuse
Democracy this first victory and keep
in practice the protection now in oper-
alton The only administration that
has done anything toward enforcement
cf the antitrust laws is that of the Re-
publican party. With regard to trusts
the Judge says that the need is not so
much new and different laws as the
vigorous enforcement Of the existing
statute and common law. What better
Endorsement of the policy of Roosevelt
and Knox could be asked for and the
Dispatch remarks that as very import
ant elements in Judge Parker's support
are backing him to punish the Roose-
velf administration for enforcing the
existing laws. the deduction is good
reason against votes for the Democracy.
Judge Parker declares for the prepara
tion of the Philippine Islands for self
government. For what else has the
Republican administration been Ia
boring % earnestlyf The Democratic
idea could be no palmer on this ques-
ton than that now being worked out
under Governor Taft's direction and
there seems to be no necessity for plac
ing Democracy in power fur tn,
Filipino's sake Most any level-headeC
American could have said all that Judg,
Parker said in his acceptance speech
and saved considerable time and space.
He furnished nothing on which Il
raise q political issue and We sugges
that under existing conditions woult
it not be well to call the Democratic

CHARLES Huiet wanted in Cincinnati
for failing to provide for the members
of his family which consists of wife
and three children, was arrested and
jailed Saturday night by Chief of
Police Edward L. Faulder and Sunday
Edward Burkholz. one of the best
known detectives of the Queen City

throughout the country, came here
after the prisoner, whom he took to
Cincinnati Monday morning.
Huiet is well known here among

of creditors. was employed in caring
for horses at the county fair grounds.
He came here last Friday from Dayton

it will be remembered that agents of
the company met .McCroskey and his
attorney, John Huston. of DeGraff. in

said, to compromise the case. The
insurance men offered McCroskey
a sum Of money. 1t is said, which he
refused claiming the entire amount.

Huiet at one time wss employed

He deserted his family some five
years ago. The story of this desertion
was told exclusively in the Index in
connection with the news of his un-
heralded departure Of a year ago
Since leaving the city Huiet had
spent the major portion of his time in
Hartford, Conn. When he left it was
reported that he had gone to the state

This is the week of the Logan County
Fair. The Fair is one Of the county g
honored institutions and every citizen
should be anxious for its success To
be sure county fairs have changed
somewhat since the time when the
first show of the kind was given but
other things have also changed and so
we need not be surprised at the big
agricultural show taking on new
features What every fair needs is the
undivided support of the farmers and
towns people. There must be extern
sive exhibits and there must be good
crowds. Let one and all bring the
prize pumpkin or the sleek Jersey
heifer, the work of nimble fingers or
tine product of the years working of
the soil A fair is not half a fair
without plenty of large round potatoes
and the monster ears of corn. These
and the other things the farmers ex-
hibit show the progress of the county.
The farmer too enjoys seeing the latest
things in machinery and the lines
carried by the carriage men and deal
ers in other lines. 1t is the little done
by many that this weeks show re-
quires- So bring your exhibits and be
there yourself for at least one day to
swell the crowds such as no other
county fairs dare boast of having.

Every day you read of the rapid rise
of patient plodder or a worthy one
in the humber walks of life and you
are glad that fortune smiles upon
weary creatures, notwithstanding the
fact that much has been said against
her fickleness. Now and then You read
of the fall of the mighty and you feel a
tinge of sadness as you contemplate the
heights once attained and now so COM
pletely lost. Every child knew the
erstwhile king of the pugilists and
thought of him as a worlds wonder.
Older folks, even though they frowned
at prize fights could not resist the temp
tation of rejoicing when this terror
of the padded ring met the champions
of other continents and protected the
rights of America to the honors in this
field of sport. John L. has fallen For
years he has led life of dissipation

of the onlookers. The world looks or

pARktR A p,sAPPolNIMtNI.

Even the friends OF Judge Parker
have read and re-read his speech of &C.
ceptance in the hope of finding in his
first public address some expression or
other showing his political convictions.
The effort besides being of tedious
length was barren of brilliant rhetoric
and one Is not led to believe that he
who penned the words would ever set
the world afire with oratory. The
statements are unimpressive and the
sentences used are commonplace in
deed Parker has many of Grover
Cleveland ideas and if the Democrats
had acted wisely they would have
chosen Grover instead of the Sage of
Esopus with such a hesitancy about
speaking. He also holds Mr.. Cleve-
lands idea as to one-term presidents,
but this is taken as statement to gain
for him the support of Bryan and
others who hope to see him out of the
way in 1898 expecting If the Judge is
defeated this year to be made the DEM

ton. Parker fumbles over the tariff

and disappoints those who have been
strongest in his support. The nation
waited anxiouslY to hear the views
of this eminent judge but the manner
in which he has expressed them lost for
him an opportunity to gather in friends
whose votes he will badly need Judge
Parker's name bore more weight while
he sat -speechless at Esopus than it will
from this tims forth. 1t is no doubt
true and the impression has prevailed
for some time in many minds that
Judge Parker's political characteristics
were not at all remarkable and that as
soon as he opened his mouth he would
put his foot in it. The Judge would
have done well to have held on to his
place ON the bench. He'll be rrifie
lonesome without job when bleak
November comes upon him.
