Mr.. ROOSEVELT has been so cratic
in acts, so strenuous in expression, aud
so prolific in imagination aud writing
that it is believed by many that for self
conceit he is tie most conspicuous ex-
empIar of at fault in bis own or former
generations. His uDquestioned ability
and intelligence have not proved a
6uttress against vanity and egOtism as
they usually do in cases of men truly
great. Having sneered at every Presi-
dent from Washington to Lincoln, crlti-
cised in harsh terms the generals on
each side in the "'war between the
States" compa red the cowboys of the
ranches with the mechanics and artizans
of the city to the discredit of the latter,
it was supposed that those who wished
= be let alone in the faith OF their
fathers, and to be allowed to believe in
the efficacy of visits to chosen shrines,
would escape the thrusts and sarcasm of
the doughty President. Such, however,
is not the case. Careful examinations
have been made of Mr.. RoOsevelrs
works, and each day adds something to
call attention to the mans mental
m ike-up. During the campaign of 1896
Mr. Roosevelt made this statement, and
it is pub 'ished in the Review of Reviews
of September, 1896, and republished in
the authorized edition of ROosevelts
works, printed by the Review of Reviews
Company in the volume entitled

Wisconsin and the Daily News VS.. the
Journal, all parties being newspapers

courts in favor of the Journal aud came
to the Supreme Court OF the United

of this law The Supreme Court today
held that the law was valid, and accord

court.

THE SPEECH of Judge Parker In
Brooklyn, Saturday night, in which ne
answered the letter of President Roose-
Welt replying to the charges that the big
corporations were being compelled to
furnish the republican campaign iund
and in return we're in position to ask
for favors from the dominant party in
power, is considered by all unbiased men
a complete answer to the Roosevelt letter,
aud all such men think that the Presi-
dent, instead of proceeding to refute the
charges preferred, merely attempted q
plea of justification, and this in language
50 incorporate aud unbridled as to make
the conviction all the stronger that the
allegations as to the campaign fund are
true. Judge Parker reiterated statements
that had been made throughout the can
vas to the effect that the trusts had
agreed 10 finance the republican cam
paign, and no sane man, democrat or re-
publican, believes to the contrary. over
a week ago Mr.. Taggart offered to open

The challenge was not accepted, and for
the best of reason, for il it had been the

Doodle, brag and buster.
McKinley's majority over Bryan in the
country at large was not tremendous
and figures show that by the change OF
a few thousand votes in comparatively
few States the general result would have
been reversed. So far as known all the
Bryan men are now for Parker; thou
sands of gold democrats who voted for
Mckinley or for Palmer are now back
in the party fold; while thousands OF
republicans who fear or dis
like Mr.. Roosevelt will vote against him
or not vote at all. To meet this condl-
ton the republicans will use to the
limit all the power and patronage at
heir command and will spend money
galore. 1t therefore behoOyes every
democrat and every man having the
true interest of the country at heart to
be on his guard tomorrow and make
every exertion TO defeat that party, with
Mr.. Roosevelt at its head, which Is set
ting at defiance the old safe and sane
policies of this government inaugurated
