Voters will Have to Guess.

Judge Parker's letter of acceptance is
promised on or about September II
some seven weeks before election day
The American voters will, therefore
have less than two months in which to
make up their opinion as to presiden-
tial candidate Splucked from the worm
hole of obscurity," by David B. Hill
and then only from a statement of views
whose authorship they can only guess
Nothing he has ever done, said or writ
ten affords the slightest inkling of his
capacity to write a State paper, choose
a cabinet o. steer a canal-boat, much
less the shiI of State of the greatest
republic on earth.

THE CALAMITY HOWLERS.

1.-THE Democrats win Make Calamity Cam
paign."
Hark! Hark! the dogs do bark.
The calamity howlers have come,
Some in rags and some with jags,
With bawling fakirs and flying flags,
With beating of cymbals and drum!
Hark! Hank! the dogs do bark
The calamity howlers have come!
What do they howl about? Howlers
that howl?
Here they come arm in arm, cheek by
Strikers and idlers, and oglers and
Riffraft and roughscuff and spoil of the
7 streets,
Plunderous SNUG, of the Woodworking
poor,
Mounting curb orators out on a town,
Hank! Hark! the dogs do bark!
The calamity howlers have come!
Tammany lands on the .dissolute crew,
Loose mouthed, and grihning and crafty,
too;
Hear the wild noise as the spellbin-
ders Shrek
While, fresh from the bar-rooms, the
listeners reek.
Everything going the speakers attack,
Work, they decry, and of sense there's
a lack.
Everything going, the earth and its ways,
The size of the moon and the length of
the days.
The price of potatoes, the taste of fall
pears,
The fashion in coats and the pitch of
the stairs
'There's nothing worth knowing, there's
nothing worth growing,
The farmer but mischief and misery's
sowing.
"There's nothing worth making, there's
nothing worth taking
The whirling of spindles the whole world
is shaking.
Religion is dead and no honesty stays
In the land where we live in these evil
marked days.
The schools are a failure the teachers
all le
The books are all wrong, to be sure
there's a fly
In each and all honey-pots, ever so neat,
Molasses is vinegar, nothing is sweet
The workers fool for his work. and

The thinkers another to think with his
brains
The sun has gone wrong and there's
blood on the moon,

AS TO WAR LORDS.
Roosevelt Has Courage to Do Things
that Should Be Done.


From sheer want of political ammuni-
ton the Democrats, lacking other re-
course, are abiding to President Roose-
welt as a 'War Lord" and undoubtedly
will do so until the end of the campaign.
All right. We HAVE a ''War Lord"
from one point of view-that is, we have
man who takes the initiative and does
things.
Our "War Lord is going to built
canal across the Isthmus of Panama,
with the enormous machinery at his com
mand now, and which we are going to re-
new to him again for four years after
Nov. s. He is going to dig a ditch be-
tween the oceans and add so enormously
to the welfare of the American public
that words may not well express it. They
call him "War Lord" because he does
things. Through his initiative such leg
islation has been accomplished that with
in the next four years vast regions, now
deserts, will be great farms upon which
American people will be prosperous and
happy. There is your "War Lord!'
By the way, speaking Of "War Lords"
who was it who had the keen perception
of individuality which sent Dewey to the
Orient when the Spanish war cloud be-
gan to have a certain denseness? Who
was it that exhibited the remarkable per-
Ception, almost violating the orders of
his superiors, in directing that the swift
and strong cruiser Olympia should be re-
tanned where it could do the most good?
We are under the belief that our War
Lord" is called a WAR Lord" simply
because he has tact and perception and
far-seeing good sense, and that when he
sees thing ought to be done he does it.
Quite aside from all this it has oc-
Cured to several million American citi-
zens that Theodore Roosevelt is, at bot
tom, a sound, conservative and thought
full American-perhaps at heart the most
conservative of all Of our men Of affairs,
but having the nerve and courage to do
at once what he thinks ought to be done.
AS to his charge at San Juan Hill,
Republicans have no apology.

Neither Safe Nor Sound.
(Philadelnhia Innuirer.(

But even granting that Parker tags
along behind Roosevelt on the gold issue,
how safe is he on that great question OF
the tariff? He is neither safe nor
sound. He might not turn the country
upside down on the money standard, but
he would tear it from end to end when
il came to revising the tariff.
Cleveland was perfectly sound on gold,
but he was unsafe and insane on tariff
reform
Cleveland stood for the free soup
house on every corner to keep the work
ingman from starvation.
Parker stands for precisely the same
condition.
What is there in the closed mill and
the suffered factory that should so APP
peal to the people as to send manufac-
turing States like Connecticut and New
Jersey over to the Democracy and render
Illinois and Indiana debatable?
The evidences of an insane stampede
to Parker are not visible.

SO David B. Hill has announced his
intention of retiring from politics JAN
uary 1, 1905, regardless of the result of
the National or State elections" David
is only sixty years old, but this deter
mination indicates that he is already
weary of the Sisyphean labor of rolling
a dead weight up the White House hill.

cal lore,

TO Judge Parker and his party, not be-

Millions of the nOblest men in Ameri-

These men place principle before party

LETTERS TO EDITOR.
Observations on old Age.

To the Editor of the Age Herald.
 An article appeared in your paper Thursday, wherein the author set forth his views on Old Age.
 He evidently does not know many old people, or is pessimist of the very worst sort
 It is true that the Romans, who were a very wise people. killed their old men, but that was in their earliest history But what Christian wants to even think of following the teachings of the Romans who had no loving and protecting Father to look up to.
 What Is more pleasing to man than, at evening" to look back on a day well spent, and to look forward to his night of rest? So it is with an old man. As the writer I referred to says, he looks back upon the days that are gone but not with any bitterness. He remembers the deeds that he has done, and the good that he has accomplished and the past seems beautiful to him. The thought of his dying gives him no pain. for he is glad to rest after his day of toll
 Even suppose his life has not been & successful one, there have been some bright days in it. and. through the haze of time, these stand out and seem to brighten the darker hours of his life.
 Suppose he is blind, there are always loving ones around him to for him. and if he crippled, no better crutch can be found than son or grandson.
 man has an old sword. rusty with the water of years and scared with the blows of countless battles, useless now. Does he throw it aside? It is rather an object of tender care to him, and is cherished as a thing almost holy. So it is with the old man, useless. perhaps, now. but loved and looked after with tender care by all near and dear to him.
 He sits and dreams of his younger days. of battles fought and victories won, and waits patiently for his long night of rest. HUBERT SMITH,
 Grandson of an Oetogenarian. Smithfield, March II, 1904.
