WISDOM.

Judge Parker, democratic nominee
for president has publicly announced
thai he will not undertake the task
of stump speech making during the
campaign in spite of vigorous pro-
tests against sucn action from many
of his friends and supporters. On
the other hand Judge Parker's de-
cision has been justly accorded the
commentator of number of the
strongest workers fo1 democratic
success.
While it is learned that the we'll
known fact that Judge Parker is
not so gifted as an orator as he is
as man of deep, unfailing judg-
ment, had no influence in inducing
him to decide not to make ampaign
speeches we believe that whatever
his object may have been he acted
wisely and we'll. The national
democratic committee has placed and
is still placing the best talent of the
land in charge of campaing oratory
These men can and will do good.
But the American public has
evinced growing disapproval for
presidential candidates taking the
stump.
Too much "strenuosity,' and pet
ulency has been displayed of late in
this line and the gifts of all whose
genius and patriotism drew their fol-
lowers nearer to them and to the land
they loved SO we'll have been insulted
Judge Parker evidently intends 70
resent this insult by conducting his
campaign on loftier plane.
Let wise conservative campaign
speakers do their best on the stump for
democracy, but give Roosevelt the
field for presidential stump speaking
that his strenunisty can have full
sway, and he'll do the rest

THE FIFTH COMMANDMENT
A TOUCHING HOMILY TO
MAYNARD AND INCONSID-
ERATE YOUTH.

Don't worry, father. Tell
mother not to cry. | know did
wrong, but want to bear all the
punishment myself
That is the cry of every young
man who, though weakness or per-
versity, commits a wrong and
brings shame, disgrace and humilia-
ton to the loved and loving ones at
home. He does not understand, or
pretends not to understand, how, in
the very nature of things, the sin
that he should expiate alone must
also crush down others, how other
hearts must break and bleed with
his.
S L. Shelton, an honored an d re-
spected citizen Of Lexington, Ala,
took his own life Sunday because
he could no longer bear the disgrace
of his son. The latter was in Jail
with the grave charge of taking the
life of feIlow-being hanging over
his head. For days the father
stood the mental agony and torture
that had been made his portion.
But the most trivial occurrences in
his daily life reminded him Of
his absent boy-the vacant place
at the table, the bed with its un>
rumpled covers, the mothers eyes,
swollen and red with weeping, the
plying looks and the silent hand
claps of his neighbors.
Then the thread of reason snap
ped, and by his own hand he put
an end to the grief and agony that
no act of his had earned.
Don't worry, father. Dom
cry mother" How do the words
sound now3
Young man, there is no power
in earth or heaven that can keep
father from worrying when you are
| in deep trouble. All the soothing
advice you can give will never
wipe away a single tear from
mothers face. Whether they will
or not, whether you will OF not,

as expressed in national convention,
though President Roosevelt has ignor-
ed this measure. Would it really
benefit the negro voters Of the country
to reduce southern representation, as
expressed in the republican platform ?
No. Why not First, it would de-
crease the delegate representation
to national conventions of both
parties, where lies the formation of
principles and selection of political
managers. Every intelligent, we'll
informed negro knows that in every
state south of Mason and Dixon's line
we have white republicans for office
and revenue only. Should represen-
tation be reduced this class of lily
white republicans would sidetrack
every negro aspirant for convention
honcrs and Office preferment, and
for greed of Office would do more to
cruelty and put to death negro repub-
licans than any class OF democrats to
be found in any section of this coun.
try.
Among the ne groes' greatest foes in
the south today are many socalled
white republicans. I am prepared to
state over 100 instances and occasions
where the microbes of prejudice found
their nest in the householdy of lily
white and carpetbag republicans of
the southland, and vent their ire upon
the oefenseless negroes. The late
Hon. William Right Quincy, of Texas,
Elk Congressman Josiah T. Walls, of
Florida; Bishop Turner, Of Georgia;
Thomas Gibbs, of South Carolina,
and host of other stalwart negro
have know the verify of
this statement.
We're southern representation cut
down, the white republicans would
organize lily white regime, take
control of the republican machine IN
each state, bar out the negroes from
elect themselves dele
gates to the national conventions,
nominate presidents and absolutely
1isfranchise and eliminate the negro
from both local and national politics.
This would be done at the expense
Of the negro voters in the northern
states, where the negro vote is fact
or and where this vote, if juoioiously
cast and wisely handled, is fully able
70 force any recognition the negro
may reasonably demand. These
ire the justifiable grounds upon
which I stand as negro in oppo
'ition to the election of the national
republican ticket.
