JUDGE PARKER ACCEPTS

The speech of Judge Parker il
accepting the Democratic nomin
alton for the Presidency measures
up to the expec tation of his ad
mirers throughout the country
He has spoken in no uncertain
terms, yet the address is free from
Boosting about his own party, oil
undignified attacks on the Opposi
tion party. The address marks
the nominee as a man of President
ial cslibre.
Dignity of thought, propriety
of expression, calmness of judg-
ment, and that quiet self-cOnfi-
dence which is as far removed
from conceit as from rOugh-rider-
ship-these are the leading fea-
lures of the first formal word
which Judge Parker speaks to the
public in behalf of his candidacy.
He who runs may read that here
stands man, who, without pyrO-
technics and without SOUND and
fury. knows what are the duties of
a President and is prepared to dis
charge them with an eye single to
the peoples interest.
Judge Parker bases his candid
acy upon strong, sane statements
of general Democratic principles.
He makes no impossible promises,
perpetrates no wild diatribes. He
indicates what he thinks of the
Rooseveltian antitrust talk by
saying that the courts may be
relied on to do their part in en-
forcing the law against the trusts
if the executive officers of the
government will prosecute.
The Democratic candidate advo-
Gates tariff reform; urges equal
and exact enforcement of the laws
guaranteeing the right to life,
liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness; calls for scrupulous obser-
vance of the barriers between the
executive, legislative and judicial
departments Of the government;
and in clear language reiterates
his conviction that the gold stand
ard ought to be and is permanent
|y established in this county.
Such is the man, and such is the
message. The Democrats can elect
him,an We believe they will do so.

Press Comments

The Richmond Times Dispatch
(Dem.): 1t was rs simple and
direct as the speech of a Jeffer-
sOnian Democrat should be, and
it must carry with it conviction
wherever it is read. 1t is a speech
around which all Democrats can
rally. 1t Is good platform with
in itself. Parker has now spoken,
and we know his views. Now, let
Democrats get together and EJECT
him.

These are the main issues upon

HEALTH CONDITIONS

1t is encouraging to be able to
report that the health conditions
in Lexington this summer, accord
ing to Health Officer DIR. A. d.
Estiil, are most favorable. Not in
years have there been so few cases
of illness, and esp ,cially is it no.
ticeable with reference to typhoid
fever. SO far this summer only
one case has been reported. That
is to say, one child had the fever
and the attending physician in
diagnosing the case hesitated
some time before pronouncing it
typhoid fever, because of it's mild
ness.
Last year, and in previous years,
there have been a number of cases
OF typhoid. We think the present
favorable conditions are due to the
efforts begun last summer to i'm
prove the health conditions of the
town by adopting and enforcing
stringent sanitary measures.
