Is Parker Sincere?

On Saturday The Free Press told the
story of how Parker, the Democratic
candidate for president, was moved to
send his famous telegram to the st.
Louis convention. Those sharp and in
cisive editorials in three of the lead
ing Democratic newspapers in New York
city were the promoting spirits. These
papers declared with one accord, on the
morning following his nominal ton, that
Parker could not be elected on the plat
form that had been adopted This is
what The Times said:
'On Bryan's platform Judge Parker
will never be elected. He must make his
own, and he must make it promptly if
he would stay the tide of detection. The
convention expressly refused to declare
for gold, thereby confessing that the
Democracy is not cured of the free-sil-
yer craze. By casting out the platform
declaration recognizing the gold stand
ard as established permanently and be-
yond question, the Democrats at st.
Louis have in effect reaffirmed the plat
forms of Chicago and Kansas City-at
least sound-money Democrats will so
construe their amazing action. The blum
der can be amended, so far as it is
amendable at all, only by the candidate
and at this hour of writing, before the
taking of ballot, we are assuming the
nomination of Judge Parker. He must
will demand that he declare, that the
gold monetary standard, as now estab-
tshed b. law, is permanent and no long
er open to question. We do not say that
by such declaration Judge Parker can
avert defeat; we fear it is too late for
that. But he will put the Democratic
party in sound position so far as its
candidate is concerned, and he will save
his personal reputation.
s'The Times for one would do the ut
most that lay in its power to make the
defeat exemplary and memorable.
Better another term of Roosevelt in
definitely, than one term of a president
capable of yielding in the slightest de-
gree to the dangerous demands of a
party which still confesses itself to be
still insane and unsafe"
The question might be asked with
some degree of propriety, was Parker
sincere in his call for the gold standard?

ELECTRIC LINE WOULD PAY.
Great Crowds Would Come Here to
Picnic in Sibley Park.
From TUESDAYS Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
w. E. Pearce has letter from his
wife at East Stroudsburg, Penn, stat
ing that she is very much better and
may be able to start for Mankato after
about two weeks.
Mr. Pearce is well acquainted with
East Stroudsburg and it's older sister,
Stroudsburg, lying on the other side of
a broad creek. The two burgs are about
a mile and half apart. Stroudsburg
has population of about 5000 and
East Stroudsburg has somewhere be-
tween 1900 and 1000. Eight years ago
the two places were connected by a
street car line, four miles in its entire
length. The fare is five cents. This road
has paid wonderfully. The heavy traf-
fic in the way of tourists necessitates
the employment of extra cars quite Of
ten. Cars run on the ordinary schedule
every half hour. They run from five
o'clock in the morning to eleven o'clock
at night. Picnickers come from neighbor-
ing cities on the railroad trains and take
the electric cars out to picnic grounds.
Mr.. Pearce speaks enthusiastically of the
great crowds that the Mankato street
car line will carry to Sibley park-after
that car line materializes.

What to leach.

The Sleepy Eye Dispatch is well pleas
ed with the address delivered before the
students of the Mankato normal summer
school by Supt. S. j. Race, and that
paper last week referred to the. address
in the following language:
"One of the oldest county school sup
erintendents in the state in an address
recently delivered before a class of nor
NAL students, urged upon them the i'm
portance of teaching true manliness
and womanliness rather than the matter
within the cover of the textbooks. He
opened up there a matter that teachers
and parents and students will do well to
think about before the next years school
work begins.
''The extracting of roots and the find
ing of multiples and the reciting of his
tory and the translating of Caesar or
Cicero and all the rest does not amount
to much of itself, but it affords valuable
mental exercises and training, and the
youth who has sharpened his mental
faculties by figuring out difficult mathe-
NAUTICAL problems or cultivated his men,
DRY and broadened his understanding by
the pursuit of other studies, is better
prepared to take up the affairs of real
life after he leaves school.
"But above all these there are other
things that do more toward making the
man or woman useful in the world, and
these are the qualifications of true man
illness and womliness-honesty, industry,
faithfulness, charity and disposition to
help others-these are only a few of the
things that must be learned if one is to
become useful in this world, and these
are of vastly more Importance to the
individual and to those with whom he
comes in contact, than technical training
"The teacher who can teach the stu
dent to be honest, faithful to his work
and kind to others, is doing more to help
the world along to better things than the
teacher who can bring forward the class
that has the highest marks in exami-
nation.
"For out in the world that comes after
school days, the markings are given on
basis somewhat different than those we
receive in school,"

HONORED JOHN DIAMOND.
Funeral of the Old Pioneer Held This
Afternoon:

FUNERAL OF the Oio FiOneer r1eIo ms
Afternoon:
From Tuesdays Daily.
Solemn, grand and beautiful were the
final honors paid to the memory of the
late John Diamond at the Presbyterian
church this afternoon. In accordance
with Mr.. Diamonds expressed wishes the
funeral was taken in charge by the local
Odd Fellows, in which order the deceased
was himself a devoted member. The
lodge attended in body, all equipped in
their splendid uniforms, and bearing the
banners of the order. The main body of
the brothers occupied the central portion
of the church, while the guard of honor
stood on either side of the casket in
front of the pulpit. A most exquisite
array of flowers, most of them white,
and emblematic of Christian purity,
adorned the casket and the chancel.
Among the countless white lilies, roses,
carnations, and other blossoms, ferns and
green tonnage, besides sllSht IN
termixture of red and pink blooms, were
tastefully intermingled in just such pro-
portion as set off the white in con-
trast The flowers were woven into var
ious tokens emblematic of the principles
of the order, and of love and friendship
for the soul of the departed. The choir
sang with solemn sweetness the appro
pirate hymn, Nearer, My God, to Thee"
Cardle of st. Paul preached an eloquent
sermon and invoked the blessing of God
upon him who had passed away. A
long retinue of carriages followed the
hearse to Glenwood cemetery.
