ERANKLIN. LA.

Dear Sir: You are teacher: here
one for your boys.
If the painting costs two or three
times as much as the paint. and one
paint goes twice as far as another.
how much are those two paints worth:
If Devoe is worth $3.50 or Sl.l3 a
gallon. how much is the other one
worth?
How much is gallon of paint worth
anyhow?
The answer is: Depends on the
paint.
The reason is: paint isn't always
paint. There are true and false paint
and short-measure.
How much is a >hort-mcasure gallon
worth? How much is false paint
worth? How much is DevOe worth.
There are millions a year in the an
swer to this last one.

Draw poker is as essentially an
American game at cards as base ball
is the national ball game. The fol-
lowing little incident is related of a
small game which recently took
place in a mining town and participa-
ted in by the wealthiest. The game
was in heated progress when good
natured and popular knight of the
Grip dropped in and asked to take d
hand. He was very cordially accept
ed. and depOsiting one hundred dol
lar bill on the table for chips, went off
to hang up his coat and vest. On his
return ne found his one hundred dol
lar bill gone and one white chip in
its place. 1t is needless to say that
he thought the matter over and con-
cluded that that was not the kind of a
poker game he was hankering for.

JUDGE PARKER'S SPEECH OF A.
CEPTANCE.

The distinguished Democratic
candidate for the Presidency was
formally notified few days ago
of his selection as the party's
standard bearer in the impending
Presidential election. The notiti-
cation took place at Rosemount,
the home of Judge Parker, in the
great Empire State. Almost
Simultaneous Herewith the Demo-
cratic candidate lengthily enun-
ciated his views on all the great
public questions now before the
country and we presume our read
ers are more or less familiar with
them, for which reason we deem
it useless to treat them all and
singular.
In this letter of acceptance
Judge Parker declares unequlvo-
cally in favor of the gold standard
as against bi-metallism and a 10
to ratio or any other. On the
subject of lynching, he is equally
as clear and emphatic. He de-
clares that, under the constitution,
even a guilty man cannot be de-
prived of life, liberty or the pur-
suit of happiness without dire pro-
cess of law. He demonstrates,
and very properly, high protection
as the mother of all trusts. The
m ost absorbing of Judge Parker's
views, however, is on the subject
of militarism and the United
States as world power and the
question of the Philippines.
He declares that, by virtue OF
the grandeur of our country, we
were worlds power long before
the Spanish war or the acquisition
of the Philippine Archipelago.
That being a world power does
not necessarily imply that We are
compelled to stimulate the growth
of our military equipment any
thing beyond what might be
deemed necessary to afford pro-
per protection to our interests and
our citizens.
That the acquisition :of the
Philippines was a grievous Re-
publican error, a constant menace
to the peace and tranquility of our
people, and, by intimation, a self
inflicted thrust at the Monroe doc
trine.
He wisely advises giving full
self-government to the Filipinos,
and we are inclined to believe that
in this view he has the endorse
ment of a great majority of the
American people.
Unlike the would-be irrepres-
sible Teddy. who affects to say
that all Presidents who preceded
him were ordinary simpletons,
Judge Parker as learned jurist,
undoubtedly thinks that the coun-
try has not outgrown the consti-
tuition of the fathers, and he adj
vises against any further ruthless
violation of the constitutional
laws and return to the policy OF
strict compliance with the fuDda-
mental law of the land, regardless
of political or other expedients OF
the times. Couched in brilliant
language, with the arguments OF
the utmost cogency and unanswer-
able on every one of the leading
issues now before the country, the
Democratic nominees letter of &C
ceptance is a flattering compli-
ment to the great party which has
selected him as standard-bearer,
and we most ardently trust that
the numerous signs now foreshad-
/, lowing his overwhelming election
will be fully realized.
