The Cost of Living.

After bordering over the hgures
ef the Department of Commerce and
Labor for about month, the
Ehicago Chronicle has discovered
Mr.. wright's average man does
not exist" but that "the standard
of living is better" than it was
few years ago. Since the beef
trust. the coal trust, and the hum
dreds of other trusts have advanced
prices to the top notch, the average
man and woman have discovered
that it costs great deal more to
keep up the standard of living, and
that present wages and trust prices
are an obstacle that every one feels.
All the sophistry of the Republican
statisticians cannot gloss over the
fact that the limited income cannot
be stretched to meet the demands
that are made upon it. High trust
prices, fostered by the protective
tariff, may give glamour of pros
perity to the protected industries,
but the many have to pay to the
Asperous few.

all that can make life happy; if he
win it, he will have to exchange the
charm of home on the Hudson for
the splendor and turmoil-perhaps
the disappointments, certainly the
cares-of the White House at
Washington. Wisely, he has COM
mitted himself to no more than a
single term, the which gives a
guarantee to the country of an in
dependent and disinterested Ad-
ministration of the Office during
four years, and assures himself, at
the end of them, the blessing of one
who can depart in peace, having
earned the adj Duration emphasized
in holy writ: "Well done, thou

Judge Parker is Democrat; and
to have been Dem ocrat in Central
New York during the last thirty
years means much.
1t meant, in the first place, a
mind not TO be carried away by the
pomp and circumstance, the shows
and trappings, of a triumphant
party oligarchlsm, led by an auda,
cious patrician and brilliant ego
fist, like Roscoe Conkling. 1t
meant a mind which placed good
Government, equal Government,
above all else, holding fast to the
written law, rejecting alike the
sophisms of Sectionalism and the
allurements OF Ambition. 1t meant
the right thinking, the right feel

Working Hard for Parker.

1t will please the supporters OF
Judge Parker and alarm the Re-
publican campaign managers, says
the New York Herald of August
3Oth, to know that in two short
weeks the Committee of Organiza-
ton of the Democratic State Exec
utive Committee has formed in the
State of New York an organization
which before election day will be
the equal of the famous machine
which was in operation in the palmy
days OF Samuel j Tilden.
There are in the State about
1000 election districts. In each
Athese an organization has been
formed. This consists, in the first
place, of ten men, who will devote
all there time from now until elec-
ton day to the interests of the
Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent. This will mean $4,000 men
working continuously for Judge
Parker.

blessed Covenant of States.
This man was a Son of the

This man was a Son OF the Soil,
sprung frcn; yccs;i;.a seed, and had
learned his lesson of probity and
justice from the great Tilden, like
himself farmers boy, who drank
from the well of pure Republican
ism deep daaughts of inspiration,
who learned from the chart of the
fathers of Democracy a wealth of
legal lore, to stand, when the time
was come, heroical, by the side of
the law and against the decorators
of the law. He chose the narrow,
uphill path of duty. He rejected
the broad, open highway TO prefer
ment. He was a Democrat when
it cost much to be Democrat.
And from that day to this,
through evil and through good re-
port, he has been a Democrat; not
visionary, Populistic Democrat
not dreamer of Socialistic dreams;
not in anything an extremist, or
radical; just Democrat, plain, di-
rect and matter-of-fact. He prom
Uses US no revolution, impossible OF
fulfillment, like Tom Watson. He
has no hope, like DR.. Swallow, of
making an earthly duplication of
Heaven, improved by soda foun-

eye single to the good of all the

powers and enabling us four years
hence, after an interregnum of
peace on earth, good will to men,
to cast about us and determ-

the problems which are now so hazy
even to the clearest vision.
What gesson, what good reason,
can any independent voter-es-
pecially can any intelligent German
voter-give for a refusal to vote for
such man?

at has been but ten years since
the attempt was made to prevent
some people from prospecting too
much" That is the way the
President, in his acceptance letter
refers to the Wilson tariff bill, dis
missing it with Rooseveltian flip
pancy. That sort of horse-play
will hardly impress the thoughtful
with any other idea but that the
subsequent high-tariff Republican
bill was designed to help "some
people to prosper too much"

TWO MEN

Within a metaphorical stones
throw of one another-and some
six years of time apart---the 18th of
May, 1852, and the 9th of October,
1858, respectively-the one in the
little village of Cortland, up in New
York State; the other in New York
City-two children came into the
world, Alton Brooks Parker and
Theodore Roosevelt.
One of them was, until month
ago, Ohief Justice Of the Supreme
Court of the Empire State; the
other Is, and for three years has
been, President of the United
States.
The 9Th of the coming November
the people are to choose which of
them shall preside over the Nation
al destinies the four succeeding
years from the 4th of March, 1905.
Which shall they prefer?
OfAlton Brooks Parker-what-
ever else may be, or may net be
written of hint can be truly
said that there is nothing profile
NAUTICAL about his character, moth
ing bizarre about his individuality.
His intellectual life, like the lives
of Story and Kent, stands recorded
in his judicial opinions, his person
al life, like that of DR.. Primrose,
has lain chiefly "in his migrations
betwixt the blue bed and the
brown" If ne were not a learned
jurist, he would be plain farmer
If he were a country clergyman, as
he might have been, the lines of the
Deserted Village were a fitting cpl
taph-
"Remote from town he ran his godly race,
Nor eer had changed nor wished to change hi
place."
In the event that he lose the
election, his lot will be no poorer
than that of man who dwells in
an earthly paradise, surrounded by

a politician who sells his vote for
money and one who supports bad
measure in consideration of being
given some high political position"
The writer Of these proscriptive
words, grossly offensive, wantonly,
needlessly offensive to millions of
his countrymen, ought to know
because, as President of the United
States, he has himself ruthlessly,
shamelessly sacrificed the profess
sions of a lifetime to get only a
nomination to "high political po-
sition.'
His abuse of the South, and of
all things Southern, is part-and
perhaps the sincerest part-of the
underlying duplicity of his charac-
ter, for it doubtless had its origin
alton in the notion that, as there
was a Confederate side to his house
he must be extra loyal to the other
side IN order to efface it. Hence
in his earlier writings he has moth.
ing but "archconspirators" and
''rebels" and TRAITORS" to say of
most of the Confederate leaders.
His theory was that they had but
two rights, THAT to be hanged and
| that to be damned" Denied by
his tender years the happiness of
advocating the hanging of them,
he proceeded to damn them, as far
as he could, in print. Yet, were
his blood-curdling sentiments thrift
"thrift, Horatio, thrift" He was
not old enough to know anything
of the passions Of the war. His
father, though a patriotic North
ern man, was a moderate man.
The ruflle TO his shirt is Southern
the hot blood is Bullock, not
Roosevelt, blood-and if he had
been born South aud had lived in
the epoch preceding the war, he
would have been a rank Secession
ist; born North, with the Southern
blot on his 'scutcheon, he thought
it the canny thing to do to pluck il
out by the roots, as it were-or to
seem to do so-and, from that day
to this he has lost no opportunity
to prescribe and blacklist the peo-
pie of the Suth, undoing much of
the good wrought by the more tenn
perate, man-loving Republican
leaders from Grant TO Mckinley.
A man who can so hate the kin
dred of his mother cannot by any
chance be worthy man.
Nv.
Theodore Roosevelt stands to-day
the one menace not merely to the
hopes of the Southern people, bu;
to the interests of those Northern
people who have invested money in
} the South.
If he is elected President the act
will be certain, though in many
cases the unconscious, signal for a
war of races, ruinous alike to the
North and the South. Why should
the good people of the North put
this scourge upon usY What have
J we done to deserve it? Why should
} they invoke it for themselves
| H. l.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1904-09-28

The politicians say we must not
talk thus. Why not? Have we
not given proof of loyal devotion?
Are we not a part of the sum total
of the whole? Must we bait breath
because this man is President?
Must we hold our tongue when we
see ruin staring us in the face?
The people of the South are like
the people of the North, . christian
people. They desire nothing that
does MT become patriotic people.
They ask nothing but justice.
They cannot get it of the Republ-
can party, left to its own devices
least of all from destructive like
Theodore Roosevelt, who has rails
ed the black flag over them, and if
continued in power will precipitate
upon them horrors rivaling those of
the period of Reconstruction, be-
ginning with renewed section agi-
tation and disturbance, to end in
the confagration of war of races.
We do not believe, when the bet
ter sense and judgment of the vot
ara &C tho Moth onr,o 20 baor ,,,.o,,
all the facts that they will do it.
Under Parker, the jurist, we shall
have four years of repose to look
about us and take account of our
assets. Under Roosevelt, the pro-
moter of strife, the assailant of old
men, the sectional bigot, the un-
sparing fanatic, we may hope for
nothing but corruptions at home,
complications abroad, with nothing
at the end of them, and at the very
best, but mammoth debts and un-
equal taxes, the debts incurred for
the Qualification of the President,
the taxes levied for the benefit of
the Trusts that keep him in power.
If there be any other issue OF
pith and moment-of far-reaching
importance-in the campaign be-
fore us, we fail to see it.
And here we rest our case.

In Memory Of Father.


There is no spot ] love so well
As my dear fathers home
] would that here might always dwell
And thro' the wild woods roam
To loiter by the tiny brook
And listen to the frogs
Croak their lonesome notes from some
hidden nook,
Then leap from out the bogs.
Then gather flowers along the glade
And climb the craggy cliff;
Then while resting in the shade,
To think and wonder if?--
If-thro all eternity
In eHaven there will be
Sweeter music than the thrush
Is warbling In that tree.
Then | wander back across the dell
Hoping to meet father dear;
Stop to quaff a drink from this lear
old well;
When remember he is nos here.
] then return to that sacred room,
Where sits mis- rocking chair;
place my hand upon its arm.
But no,--he Is not there.
Il throw myself upon his couch
To talk to him in prayer,
But when rise and dry my tears,
o God! He is not there
The crickets chirping on the hearth
is the only sound hear
Father, why dent you speak to me?-
I'm lonesome without you dear
II with those eyes so full Of love,
You would only look at me
And place upon this throbbng brow
! would then contented be.
! Father, farewell, until we meet
Where all is love.
o Father, farewell. until we greet
In that home above.
Dear Father, farewell
Our memory OF thee is sweet;
Your life was a lesson of love.
