Judge Parker's Letter.

IT is distinctly more effective than the
speech of acceptance. 1t clears up some
antiquities. 1t attacks. on reasonable
lines, republican shortcomings in respect
to tariff revision and reciprocity, avoiding
committal to the democratic platforms as
sault upon protection as robbery" 1t
emphasizes the gold standard declaration.
L: places the candidate definitely among the
'anti-imperialists," who would make to the
Filipinos an immediate promise of future
independence. IF independence cannot be
prudently granted to the Filipinos at this
time"
While 1t is the most direct and aggressive
of Judge Parker's outgivings, it does not
possess the ringing" quality. In the ma
ture of things it could not. Judge Parker
Is not leading a host of men. all facing the
same way, but a combination of discordant
factions, harmonious only in the deter
mination to win. if possible, the presidential
election. He is obliged. therefore, to step
gingerly; to speak cautiously; to place the
emphasis only where it is entirely safe to
do so.
The letter is an improvement on the
speech of acceptance in the matter of
literary form. The style is better. The
sentences are shorter, and when the pur-
pose is to be clear it is attained. Between
the time the speech was prepared and the
time the letter was written the candidate
held consultations with some of the ablest
men in his party, men experienced In the
drafting of state papers; and he undoubt-
eddy profted by their suggestions.
The paragraph about the Panama canal
is the least happily conceived of all the
declarations of the letter, while that con-
corning President Roosevelt's pension order
IL the boldest and the best.
Judge Parker is for the canal, but slurs
on hearsay the manner of it's requirement.
He does not himself charge that the Presi-
dent was ccnspirator in the matter of the
establishment of the Panama republic, but
he has heard of people who do, and he gives
them the benefit of a notice. He dignifies
and indirectly adopts the they say" All
he declares for himself is that as the canal
rights have been acquired, it is the duty of
the President to dig the canal, and if elect
ed he will do his duty.
The paragraph about the pension order is
genuinely outspoken At the risk of in
Guiding Mr. Cleveland in his criticism Judge
Parker condemns that and promises, if
elected to rescind 1t. But as candidate he
is not altogether needless of the existence
of the Grand Army and he pledges himself
If elected to Use his influence in favor of
service pension law. Judge Parker's sup
porters have been very severe on President
Roosevelt for what they characterize as his
bid for the soldier vote. The practical poll
tlcians viii now analyze all the pertinent
acts and declarations, including those of the
Parker letter of acceptance, to ascertain
whether or not this bid has been raised

ment and memory of engineers and CON

held in law rigidly and severely account
able for the results when the system ana

charged with the duty of carrying their

was soon mastered by the vicious and the
immature. The kuklux khan added to the
horrors of a section that was already sup
ping upon horrors. and praying for relief.
Still, If Mr.. Graves and his friends are
resolved upon lawlessness as remedy for
Iawlessness there is a certain cruel Logic
and philosophy in the suggestion of or
ganization. The system cannot hope for q
thorough trial unless it moves upon ger1-
eral rules. Nor should they overlook the
fact that lynching IS by no means confined
now to the unspeakable crime-which, by
the way, was unknown in the days of the
kuklux klan-but Is applied In many cases,
from murder to being sassy" on the side
walk.
One experiences chill in the admission
of Mr.. Graves that even revival OF ku-
kluxism may not bring about a perfect
civilization. For If the law Is no GOOD, ana
Iawlessness fails, then shall we find our
selves in the middle of a very bad fix, in
deed.

The President and Peace.
From the New York Tribune.

1t is fitting that the American President
should issue the call for a second gather
ing of the powers for the establishment of
peace upon a foundation of justice. This
country did not call the first such con-
gress. But 1t set the example and gave the
suggestion for 1t third of century ago,
and it was prompt to engage in 1t, infiu-
entail in directing its deliberations to a
fruitful end. and simply invaluable after
ward in giving practical effect to its pre-
scriptions. Having now worldwide rec
ognition as the foremost exponent and
champion of the principles and practice of
the tribunal at The Hague. the United
States will be the logical leader In the sec
ond congress, for which the first definitely
provided, and which will. we may hope,
efficiently complement the work already
done in the light of the actual working ex-
perience of the last five years.

Wireless Miracles.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


1t is not little singular that the various
branches of the federal government have
been practically the first to recognize and
to develop broadly for their own purposes,

within mans control by wireless teleg-
raphy AS rule. great discoveries in
physics and other branches Of natural SCI

through private commercial enterprise, and
have afterward been adopted for public
uses by the readjustment of rights of own

use Of the mysterious magnetic waves
through the atmosphere. for good or for
Ill. so impressed themselves upon the i'm
agination of far-seeing statesmen that the
private employment of the system must
hereafter be subordinated to the needs of
nations.

Autumn.

Each day hastens laughingly on to the
morrow.
Unheeding the clouds that ere long shall
unfold.
The storm will soon chide and the smile
turn to sorrow.
For winter is stern, unrelenting and cold.
But the world has turned spendthrift and
scatters its treasure
AS free as some sybarite pagan of old.
The fields shine afar with their wealth be-
yond measure
When autumn, like Midas, turns all
things to gold.

For Better Highways.

The meeting OF the State Good
Roads association at Montpelier last
week and the discussion of ways and
means by number "f representa-
tive Vermonters is a good begin
ming towards the permanent i'm
provemcnt of the state highways
The agitation has begun and it re-
mains now only for the growing
membership of the association tc
Bog keen it ND. to interest ""@
the residents Of every city, town and
hamlet to the fact that there is money
in good roads-profit and pleasure
for all, not for any one class of peo'
pie. The first practical plan fol
the building of permanent highways
was presented by Hon. Fuller c.
Smith at the Montpelier meeting,
and calls for the construction OF
900 miles OF trunk roads, extending
through I43 towns and cities of the
state, at cost Of $1,000 per mile.
The project as outlined by the Free
Press is:
1t is in short to issue state bonds
for the sum of $4, 500, 900 payable
in forty years. To pay the interest
and create sinking fund to meet
the bonds at maturity Mr.. Smith
would use the $4,000 in round
numbers now yielded by the state
highway tax, one-half OF the fees
from the liquor license fees and
three per cent. in addition on the
grand list Of the state.
1t may be doubted it the state is
ready now to .expend the sum in.
yolved in MIR. Smiths plan, but il
any one now living is to see Yer.
mont's highways improved from end
to end things must be done on a
large scale, at large outlay, and all
to the eventual profit of the state.
