PARKER. PRINCIPLE AND PARTY

Judge Parker would, to use the
famed phrase of Henry Clay, rather be
right than president. But in this case
to be right is to achieve a glorious
success if the united democracy shall
exhibit that same intellectual honesty,
integrity of character and strength of
purpose which moved the candidates
utterance.
Although the platform had devoted
no expression to matters now through
natural processes relegated to subordi-
nate consideration and interest-QueS-
tons which Mr.. Bryan himself openly
declared did not rank with the live
and preponderating issues Of the
present-Judge Parker, impelled by
conscience, made clear his own mind
TO those who had nominated him; and
the union of party representatives,
after full debate and speaking for ev-
cry element, and by vote larger than
that which first pronounced him the
choice. cordially responded to his hon.
est. frank, manly words.
Judge Parker for the vindication of
his own conscience. may have gone to
greater lengths than some men deem
necessary. He may have exceeded
the demands of the occasion. But
the fact is there, big in herOism and
blazel on history. that he answered
his own sense of right to the full, that
he followed its summons to the very
end in the direction opposite from all

times from 1893 to 1897. Mayor Ashley
of New Bedford says that he has never
before seen so serious a situation
among the working people and ne
urges public works to give the IDLE
men employment At Fall River in the
past few months the drain on the poor
has increased rapidly and
today fully a third more is being dis
tributed from the city store and the
department in general than at any
previous time in the city's history.
All this restitution has come to pass
under the boosted prosperity promoted
by a republican stand pat-for- tariff
robbery administration. Hereafter
when republican spellbinders tell you
that soup houses are peculiar to DEM
ocratic rule, remind them of condl-
tons at Fall River and New Bedford

third of the reign Of His Strenuosity,
Theodore Roosevelt the Great.

A SARTORIAL SHOCK.

Once more society is all agog over
dear Mr.. Harry Lehr. When we re-
fleet that it has been almost two years
since Mr.. Harry Lehr last got him.
self talked about we hail the news Of
his new escapade with even greater
Zest. A few nights ago he appeared at
the Newport open-air theater wear
ing a red tie with his Tuxedo. He
was the cynOsure of all eyes, and the
with the story.
1t was almost as delicious, as ex-
quisitely sensational, as when two
years ago he appeared on the ave-
nue. with a wrist bag. But, it's said,
when he entered the theater he bore
himself with admirable composure
and poise, just as if the tie had been
the conventional black instead Of
shall we say?-the ultra red. He did
not seem to be annoyed at the turn
of all eyes toward him, but appeared
rather to enjoy being the cynosure.
Persons who have never experienced
the joys of being the cynosure of all
eyes at Newport will find difficulty in
approaching the difficulties of Mr..
Lehr's position there. While it is
very lovely to be the cynosure, it is
rather trying, to say the least.
The general impression is that this
example set by Mr.. Lehr will not be
generally followed Mr.. Lehr's fads
are so individual that, as a rule, there
have been few of the other men with
ample The case was altered, though,
when he had the monkey for a dinner
guest. Mr.. Lehr's dinner guests have
been dining with a monkey ever
since.
You can always depend on Mr. Lehr
to do something clever. Don't ever
make the mistake of supposing that
he has subsidized. Newport simply
could not get along without him. And
he couldn't get along with Newport.
And you never can tell what he'll do
next. If it wasn't just too outra geous
to think of and wouldn't shock New
port to death, he might actually get
out some day and do a days work
But of course that is out OF the
question. Mr.. Lehr, however, is prob
ably busy planning some other pretty
little surprise for next year.

FOR TEMPORARY RELlEF'.

1t has been suggested that temporary
relief from the alleged water famine
might be secured by bringing the $780,
900 gallons or more daily flow of water
at Thomas springs to the city in an
open ditch. Most of the right of way
for such a ditch would be over the
city's own land. 1t has also been sug-
gested that if the scarcity is as great
as represented, the sprinkling carts
might be filled from Mill creek instead
of tapping the city's hydrants.
If Mill creek is made the source Of a
gravity water system, as now pro-
posed, Walla Walla is likely to repeat
the experience of Whatcom in having
to buy several mills whose water pow
er may be impaired by the city's use
of the creek water. 1t cost Whatcom
over 100000 to settle with one milling
company located on creek running
out of Lake Whatcom below the city's
intake, and Walla Walla might learn
something from that case, which is
fully set forth in the records of the
supreme court of this state.

WHY DAVIS WAS CHOSEN.

In nominating Henry G. Davis, a
man in his eighty-sec year, for
vice president it is possible that the
democratic leaders had in mind a con-
Meeting link between the times Of
Thomas jefferson, the founder of the
democratic party and author of the
Declaration of Independence, and the
present degenerate days of Imperialism
and monopoly, as Davis was born
three years before the death of Jeffer-
son.
Again it is possible that Dave Hill
took into consideration the possibility
of the death of both President Parker
and Vice President Davis, as in that
contingency Secretary of State Hill
would succeed to the presidency. But
the strongest factor in the selection Of
ex-senator Davis was probably the
fact that he is worth from $4,000, 900
to $40,00O,000 and will be able to pro-
vide an adequate campaign fund,
something the democratic party has
badly felt the need of in the last two
presidential contests.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-07-19

his interests and ambitions There
are few parallels to his conscience
and courage in all palitical history.
We must seek them in the remote
past. Calhoun was one of those who
dared all for the sake of his truth
and intellectual honesty when the
greatest of honors hung in the bal
ance. We find no instance of this kind
in the career of the present White
House occupant, who at every prin-
cipal turn in his course has capitulat-
ed to the Organiza tion Judge
Parker would rather be right than
president if being right involved the
sacrifice. Mr.. Roosevelt has shown
himself capable of abandoning his sa-
cred convictions in his conquest of
machine. He would rather be right if
it involved no political inconvenience.
Democracy's unanimous sanction
flowed forth in response to the
courage and integrity Of it's candi-
date. The convention spoke in no
doubling or hestant way. 1t spoke
for the rank and file. Every democrat
in this broad land was represented.
Every democrat spoke in that voice.
1t was the deepest, the most genuine
spirit of the party Of the people which
rose uppermost on the occasion; it
was the profound principle of democ-
racy asserting itself; it was the hon
esty and fair mindedness which are
bound up with the morality of the
people. 1t was the candor and bravery
of that morality.
Democracy requires no exhortation
at this hour. Democrats act sponta-
neously upon the right. The word of
the party is spoken. Leaderships are
one. They are marching abreast on
the way of conviction and resolve, to
the music of harmony with honor and
without dissent. One great and de-
HlOnSIGdtou ana heroic leadership
blends all purpose and fuses all the
following. 1t sweeps the rank and file
behind it in enthusiasm. The rank
and file hesitate not upon the orders.
Let the voice of harmony arise
from the ranks. There can be no muir
murs from the manhood of the ma
ton. True democrats who hold and
have held firmly to the deeper prin-
ciples and purposes of jefferson and
Jackson must rejoice in the party's
solidarity. 1t is a time for not only
loyalty but the enthusiasm of 10y
atty. Let democrats take the inspira-
ton. The cause and the candidate
embody the old principles and the old
incentives. 1t is an occasion to rouse
the inner and better patriotism and
love of principle within the breast of
every true democrat, while the oppor-
tunity to restore his party to it's orig
inal and rightful place of power is of
a brilliance to fire the impulse.

Secretary Loeb has grown to be so
high and mighty that he refused to
permit committee sent by the United
Mine Workers of Pennsylvania to see
the president for the purpose of pre-
senting a petition in behalf of the de-
ported miners of Colorado. OF course
Loeb had orders from his chief. The
Pennsylvania miners are feeling very
much incensed over the decided snub
given their delegation, and the Incl
dent is likely to outweigh the action of
the president in forcing the coal mag
mates to settle the great anthracite
strike.

MILITIA COMPANY

The National Guardsmen Enthusiast
Over the Big Military Maneuvers

Company l, Second regiment, Wash

Waitsburg from the encampment at
American Lake. The militia men look
ed tired and dusty after their long ride
but all expressed satisfaction regard
ing the encampment.
First Lieutenant ]. B. Caldwell, a
veteran of the Spanish American war,
speaking of the encampment to a re-
porter for the Statesman, said:
The maneuvers were a success. 1t
is true that there were several little
incidents that marred the movements,
but as a whole the encampment was
very satisfactory to all the officers.
The regulars ana the guardsmen got
along very peacefully and there was
no friction to speak Of
Discussing the reported riot of col
Orded troopers, Lieutenant Caldwell
said: Troop E. Ninth Cavalry, was
ruled off the field in the last battle, and
declared killed. In their last charge
they evidently lost their heads and
went too far. They charged into a de-
tachment Of infantrymen and several
men were more or less hurt. One
horse was killed. the infantryman bay
oneting it to save himself from being
run down."

The morning paper need not concern
itself about Lemuel Goodwin and
Harry Debus, Philippine war veterans.
In the event of democratic success
both will be we'll provided for and they
know that there is no need of a writ
ten bond to guarantee the fulfillment
of the pledge. The statement that
Lieutenant T. d. S. Hart was forced to
resign his position as deputy auditor
in order that the place might be given
TO democrat is not true. Mr.. Hart
gave up the position voluntarily be-
cause he wished to return to the en-
ployment that he long ago selected as
his life work. He is a newspaper man
by training and instinct, and ne avail

the more desirable by the certainty of
better remuneration than he received

The Old man sat and drank the scene:
The thresher's thunder. the engines whir,
Long belts IN the sun-fiecked air agint,
Brown, giancing arms and the forks ashr
In the rustling straw, and sweet and keen
The laughter glad Ger the fans low bur,
Chaff rising in clouds Of golden tint;
And in his heart a song was sung,
A spring song Of days when he was young.
But now the noontide hour Of rest
Has come, and round the genial board
The men are placed, and merry the oang
OF dishes and tongues in sweet accord,
While savory smells give appetite zest.
