DIR. Davis is well equipped for the po-
sitOn He began his medical studies at

his country becoming urgent, he enlistcf

PARkER's DEFEAT CONCEDED
New York Herald Says RooseveIt's
Election Foregone Conclusion.

New York, Oct. l9.-President RoOse-
velt's election is conceaed by The Herald
in a double loaded editorial, in which it
says: 'In three weeks the people will
have to decide who will be their choice,
Mr. Roosevelt or Judge Parker.
'To speak frankly, there does not
appear to be room for much uncertainty
as to the probable decision. 1t seems
almost foregone conclusion that Mr..
Roosevelt will be elected, not, perhaps,
because the people have confidence in
him and in his conception of the presi-
Dental functions, but because the coun-
try is prosperous and thus the neces-
sity for a change is not very pressing.
"Judge Parker must surely realize
that he cannot arouse the American peo-
pie over the Philippines or the Fill
pinos For good or for evil and with
the sacrifice of American blood, the is
lands have been acquired and the United
States can abandon them no more than
Germany could abandon the annexed
provinces of Alsace and Lorraine.
"Such questions do not concern prac-
tical politics; they are of interest only
to debating societies, and the question
of home rule for the Filipinos has only
a theoretical Importance.
'Even Judge Parker would not argue
that the general levels of intelligence
and education or the standards of in
dustry and enterprise are as high in the
Philippine islands as they are in the
United States. 1t would be more prac-
tical, therefore, and more beneficial for
the people concerned to demand good
American government for the Filipinos
than to indulge in oratory about their
theoretical right to autonomy and in
dependence.
''One is tempted to ask whether Mr..
ROosevelt's election may not prove a
blessing in disguise. The president may
regard his victory as an encouragement
to flourish the big stick more energetic
ally than ever. This, sooner or later,
will involve the United States in foreign
complications and thus surely open the
eyes of the American people to the dan
gers of imperialism in a republic. Thus
his election may turn out to be bless
ing in disguise for the cause of constitu-
tiOnalism." q,

COL. HORD AGAIN.
Genial Aurora diIJ Boreaiis Appears
on Northern Sky Line.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Col. U. p. Hord of Aurora, ILL.,, accom-
panied by f. j. Phelps, Minneapolis
capitalist, arrived in MankatO on the
noon train from the north. They start
ed to come to the city in an automo-
bile, but owing to the rain were obliged
to leave it on the road, and spend last
night at LIE Sueur. Upon getting their
dinner they procured rig and drove
out to Sibley park, and then around the
city. Col. Hord is hard at work upon his
enterprise to have an electric line con-
structed from this city to the twin
cities, and it is in the furtherance of
this project that he came to the city
today with Mr.. Phelps. The two gentle
men left for the twin cities on the 445
p. m. train.

He Met With Serious Accident al
the Worlds Fair.
From Wednesdays Daily.

Word has just been received in st.
Cloud to the effect that Supt. +. L.
Randall of the state reformatory there
met with serious accident at st.
Louis, where he is visiting the worlds
fair and attending the prison congress.
But meagre details are obtainable, but
it appears that Mr.. Randall was about
to board one of the elevated trains
on the grounds, and the train started
before he was fairly on. He had some
bundles in his arms and was unable to
save himself.
He was thrown to the platform and
sprained his ankle very badly, and also
sprained his arm. The accident oc-
Cured two or three days ago and he is
confined to his room now.

New York, Oct. lS.--John ID. Quack-

by the statement before medical socie-

better accomplished by the use of OPT

proper kind of pill administered after
some offense on the part of the child, ac-
