A Rhyme Of Pure Reason.
"A Christian Science Proselyte,
Alone upon a mountain height,
Was Pondering upon the vain
Belief in non-existent Pain,
How nervous Dread Of any kind
Was an Illusion Of the Mind,
When coming down the mountain side
A dreadful Lion he espied.
The Proselyte said: Mercy mel"
And quickly Seuttled up a Tree.
Next morning at the rise Of sun
There came an Unconverted one
Who say the Proselyte at bay
And drove the hungry Beast away.
The Cynic said. AHA! I see

JUDGE PARKER REVEALED.

IF ONE wishes to form just esti-
mate Of Judge Parkers character
and mental habits as shown in his
speech accepting the nomination. he
should go to the speech itself. 1t will
not do for him to take his opinions from
partisan papers of either side. The
philadelphia Press in characterizing the
address says:
II is staid. sedate. innocuous and
explosive. II will satisfy his pO-
litlcal foes because 1t discloses no orig
inal power. no commanding force. nc
masterful ability TO seize opportunities
to grasp issues with a strong hand and
to mold public sentiment with penetrat-
ing and aggressive dership-nothing
to surprise and nothing to fear.
And the New York World finds Moth
ing but what it can commend. It sums
it up:
Mr. Parker's speech accepting the
Democratic nomination for President Is
judicial. straightforward. honest and
sensible, with its points well put and
well sustained.

gather how morbid she had grown

that the world would greedily devour

So we shall not get much help from
the party organ, but. as we remarked
win have to go to the speech itself
To our way Of thinking It reveals a
man who is honest and sincere since
a different type OF man would have
gone further in his condemnation Of
Republican policies. IN the presenta-
tlon Of the principles OF Democracy, to
Ianybody with Democratic bent of
Imind, his utterances will be regarded as
satisfactory. conservative and logical.
Judge Parker does not fume and ravei
he has coined no new and startling
phrases. but he has stated clearly and
temperately what he believes are the
tenets OF his party's policy.
But as we read we marvel little
that this man should be the chosen
leader Of the hosts which are to OPP
pose the Republican party. His re-
marks indicate that on the main issues
he Is more a Republican than a Demo-
crat-certainly more a Republican
than "a Bryan Democrat
In the opening sentences he refers to
his gold telegram and reiterates his
views on the necessity for maintain
ling the gold standard. That has been
the Republican position on the chief
question OF two campaigns. He believes
that the three departments OF govern
ment should each be kept within the
limits OF the powers conferred ON II by
the Constitution. But as the Supreme
Court has full authority 10 interprii
amy law or executive act the validity
OF which is questioned. we already
have our remedy and have had 1t since
the adoption OF the Constitution.
He believes in enforcing the laws
and cites the case of Colorado as an
example OF their non-enforcement But
Judge Parker win hardly go so fai
las to urge government interference In
this instance az IL is yet a matter foi

Mr.. Hays Brief For Neutral Commerce.
From the Now York World.

Secretary Hays circular not Of June
TO- defining the attitude Of the United
States toward Russia's Admiralty order
making coal, raw cotton. and foodstuffs
unconditional contraband of war, was is
sued before the Russian feet had begun
TO seize American cargoes The note
covers the recent cases, nevertheless. and
the Government cannot receae from the
position Mr.. Hay has taken.
Mr.. Hays attitude IS consistent with
the precedents heretofore recognized by
the United States, and a principle is In
vowed that this country cannot well
abandon. We are heavy exporters Of raw
cotton, coal and foodstuffs and cannot
AFFORD to admit the right of a belligereni
to make indiscriminate seizures OF such
cargoes merely because the goods are
consigned to any enemy's port.
As Mr.. Hay says such goods may be
conditional contraband. but the conditions
which make them contraband must be
shown actually to exist.

LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
Platform Changes.

To the Editor Of The Evening Journal;
l read in your paper with consider
able pleasure the platform which had
been prepared for the Republican con-
ventioni and which it seems was side
tracked for another which largely
ignored issues that are vital to the
citizens of Delaware at this time
Comparing the two documents 1 find
that the following planks which do not
appear in the platform that was adopt
ed were in the rejected platform. Here
they are:
We demand the repeal Of the Vot-
ers' Assistant Law, as it prevents a
secret ballot and makes the purchase Of
electors easy.
We oppose the disfranehisement Of
any Of our citizens because of race.
We believe in fuller support Of pub
lie education and in the normal train
ing Of teachers.
We recommend a more efficient sys-
tenn in auditing State accounts.
We urge comprehensive legislation
looking to public support Of free librar-
les.
We pledge ourselves to exert our ef.
forts to give the city Of Wilmington
a new charter.
We favor such legisIatons as will in
sure secret ballot.
We urge legislation which will make
trusts doing business in this Stale sub
iect to fuller control.
| We favor a State Penitentiary for all
long term prisoners Of the several eoun-
ties.
We favor the building Of a State
tuberculosis hospital.
We urge upon Congress the me-
cessity Of constructing a canal between
the Delaware and the Chesapeake Bays.
We favor legislation which will turn
into the treasures Of the respective
States and towns a part Of the revenues
derived from liquor licenses.
The Good Roads Law has demon
strated the necessity for further i'm
proVement of our public highways, and
we favor such amendments to the exist
ing law as will result in further inn
proVements at a lessened cost to the
people.
Now while we may have differences
of opinion regarding certain Of these
declarations, surely here are many
things that the party should stand for
And if it stands for them, it ought tc
say so. is it favorable to the Voters
Assistant law, or to it's repeal2 Ger
tainly this is a vital issue. Why should
It not have expressed itself on Negro

for refusing to insert planks for better

horses was the man saved. The head
of the conductor was badly cut and his
knee injured. He was picked up by

our opinion certain Of the omitted
planks should have been inserted. We
also think that convention called TO
nominate all state officers should have
devoted more space IN its resolutions
to State issues.
But we presume Il matters little. The
spirit, temper and purposes Of the Reg
ular Republican party are well known.
The principles in the platform which
was adopted are an right even though
so great an lnslstence on national poli-
cies was unnecessary. We SHAH mem
tally have to append such planks on
state issues as an Regular Republicans
have in their minds.
