BY his speeches Parker has allied
himself with the anti-imperialists
They want to give free government to
the Filipinos. Freedom to half naked
and uncivilized savages means prac-
tically no government at all. II
means pulling down our flag over
there and a loss to us of commercial
advantages we are entering into. II
means an invitation to some other OF
the great powers to take the authority
you are asked to relinquish. Parker
doesn't seem to know this question is
practically settled in the minds of the
American people. The issue is dead.
The Philippines are on our hands and
there is no serious thought in the
minds of many Of our people of doing
any thing else than keep them for the
present

Our prediction of six weeks or so
ago that Audubon county will give
100 majority for Roosevelt is not
changed yet. The biggest majority it
ever has given the head of the ticket
was in 1901 when Gov. Cummins re-
ceived $50 majority. There are a
good many democrats in the county
who this year will vote to keep the
present administration in. They have
faith in Roosevelt and they mistrust
Parker. Under such conditions their
patriotism will lead many of them to
do the right thing.

President Roosevelt has courage,
craftsmanship and experience in his
great office. He does not try to hide
his views. He Is with and for the
people. His whole career has been u
splendid example of the success of
well doing. AS between him and his
competitor we do not think there Is
cause for u moments hesitation In
choice.

The most of the letter OF Hamilton
Wilcox, democratic candidate for
congress, relates TO republican ex-
travagnce and corruption, the so call
ed wrong of the tariff, praise of the
democratic times from jefferson to
Buchanan and an attack on the
trusts. There is nothing in it to mark
the writer as anything more than u
man who greatly admires the oft-re-
pudiated principles of the democratic

1t is one of the privileges that peo-
pie who live in doubtful states like
Indiana and New York have, to listen
to the leading political orators of the
nation while states like Iowa and like
Texas get passed by. However, we
doubt IL it is any real benefit to a
state to be thus agitated and torn up,
and kept in suspense for weeks, hav-
ing all her people on nettles and
straining every nerve to turn 1t one
way or the other. 1t surely is no bene-
fit to business. We prefer Iowa or
Texas, and not liking Texas, we pre-
fer Iowa.

Another reason is found why Par
ker should not be elected. He is red
headed! Good gracious! What if the
red headed should all be stampeded
for him? 1t would turn a doubtful
state or two. A bet was settled the
other day over the question whether
there had ever been a red headed
president, and the decision was tina,
although Jefferson's hair was sandy,
it was not red and that no red headed
man has ever been president.

Editor Trigg, of the State Register,
ventures the opinion that Grover
Cleveland is the greatest democrat
since Thomas Jefferson. We do not
believe that in hundred years from
now Cleveland will be placed in the
same class as Jefferson. What did
he do that will remain? He showed
courage in the Chicago strike. He
showed courage in other instances
during his administrations, but he is
the originator of no policy, the foun-
der of no party, the author OF no
great writing or document that will
live

After saying he will vote to remedy
transportation evils, shortage OF cars,
pooling of roads, rebates to shippers
and other needed changes, he winds
up by saying he will vote to reduce
our present tariff to revenue basis.
That spoils 1t all. That would be u
many times greater calamity to this
country than continuance of the
rail road wrongs. We had u taste of
that in 1893 to 1897.

The democratic party was "unalter-
ably opposed to protective tariff"
during the last Cleveland admins
tration. 1t is worth remembering
that the program they substituted
sent corn down to IA cents a bushel
and oats to - cents. Hamilton Will
cox is still "unalterably opposed to u
protective tariff" What would u

The railway problem, or the ques-
ton of the regulation of rates, both
state and interstate, is going to be
one of the important questions of the
immediate future. The republican
party has shown itself ready To Crap

come up in the past.

The reference of the trouble between
Russia and England to the Hague
Tribunal is another indication of the
progressive age in which we live. AS
nations become more civilized, like
men, they submit their differences to
the courts rather than settle them by

more humane.

Warns Federal Officials to
Observe Neutrality.
MUST CHECK TONGUES
UnfriendIy Expressions Cause
Ofense to BelligerentS.

Washington. March 10-President Roose-
welt. after conference with ecretary of
State Hay, issued the following execu-
tive order respecting the observance of
the proclamation recently promulgated de-
claring the neutrality of the United States
| between Russian and Japan, the two COM
batant nations in the far eastern war
now in progress:
All officials of the government, civil,
military and naval, are hereby directed
not only to observe the presidents order
of neutrality in the pending war between
Russia and Japan, but also TO abstain
from either action or speech which can
legitimately cause irrigation to either of
the combatants. The government of the
United States represents the people of
the United States not only in the sin
cerity with which it is endeavoring to
keep the scales of neutrality exact and
even in the sincerity with which de-
piores the breaking out of the present
war and hopes that it will end at the
earliest possible moment and with the
smallest possible loss to those engaged.
Such a war inevitably increases and in
flames the suspectibilities of the combat
ants to anything in the nature OF an in
jury or Slight by outsiders.
Too often combatants make conflicting
claims as TO the duties and obligations
of neutrals. so that even when discharg-
ing these duties and obligations with
scrupulous care it is difficult to avoid
giving offense to one or the other party.
To such unavoidable causes OF offense
due to the performance of natural duty
there must not be added any avoidable
causes. 1t is always unfortunate to bring
old world anti-pathies and jealousies into
our lie by speech or conduct to excite
anger and resentment toward our nation
in friendly foreign lands. but in a gov
ernment employee whose official duties
the mischief of such action is greatly
increased A strong and self confident
nation should be particularly careful not
only of the rights but of the suspectibili-
ties its neighbors; and nowadays all of
the nations Of the world are neighbors
one to the other. Courtesy, moderation
tional, no less than private intercourse.
All the officials of the government civil,
military and naval are expected so to
carry themselves both in act and in need
as to give no cause of just Offense to the
people of any foreign and friendly power
and withall mankind we are now in
friendship
