portland Oregonian.)

u'Ortlanl OregOnian.)
The Democratic party is like certain
son which wandered off into far conn-
try and filled his belly with the husks
which the swine did eat. But when he
came TO himself he said, l will arise and
go back to the home of sense and honesty
which l left and will ask to be taken
back as IL hired servant on probation. I
will admit that | was wrong Ind have
now seen the light and | hope to be re-
stored through good behavior to my for,
ner place in the confidence Of the folks
at home and decent people generally.
That is to say, the Democratic party
could be conscientiously likened to the
prodig4l son il it had acted on the lines
just laid down. But the attitude it ac-
tnally assumes is something entirely diff
ferent Without explaining or reprobat-
ing his actions OF 1896 and 1900 when
he voted for Bryan, Judge Parker asks
the support and confidence Of all gold
standard men because he somewhat pat
ronizngly recognizes the gold standard
as ''irrevocably established" He does
not anin,advcrt upon his own conduct in
leaving home or even upon the quality
of the nutriment which the far country
of populism afforded the Democratic
paunch.
As near as we can make it out, the
Democratic idea is that the Elder Broth
er should be thrown out on the world
and the ProdigaI Son installed as man.
ager of the estate.
