pARKER'S LETTER

Those who were disappointed by Judge
Parker's silence his meteoric message to
the democratic convention pledging him
self to the gold standard after the party
had gone too far to repudiate him with
out hnmiliating itself. and his subse-
quent tame. crude and illogical address
accepting the democratic nomination,
have no reason to feel encouraged over
his formal letter of acceptance. This
letter l. not "a long as President Roose-
velts letter OF acceptance, but il could
be boiIed down by any copy reader on
most any new spaper 20 half its length.
without detracting a jot or little from
its value as a political or literary docu-
ment.
To express it in few words, there Is
little to H. 1t deals mostly in generali-
ties. II expounds ponderous philosophy
and doctrines that have been familiar
many years, and the truth of some OF
which no one will deny or has ever at
tempted to deny, but he fails utterly to
apply them to the present issues, or show
that anyone has denied them or acted
contrary TO them. For instance, take his
chapter ON imperialism" No one, al
ter reading about retaining our liber'
ties and constitutional rights unimpair-
ed permitting an ''arrogtion OF uncon-
stitutional powers by the executive
etc. can tell what he's driving at. 1t
would have been much more effective
had Judge Parker in few words point
ed ont an instance or two of where any
ones liberties were being impaired, where
constitutional rights were being Tram
pled ON. or even to have given a defni-
tion of imperialism itself. as meant by
the democrats. The reason he didn't Is
because he couldn't There is no such
thing as imperialism under our govern
ment.-but the democrats have to have
something TO rattle, even though II be
only few dry bones.
Judge Parker handles the tariff ques-
tion gently. and after eNpauatnis "'
some length he presents fairly good re-
hash of the democratic conception OF the
tariff, but never once advocates iree
trade; he suggests only revision or
''reforIn.Yr
He then. possibly TO reassure the man
ufacturers of this country, shows the iu-
tility of doing even what he advocates
for the tariff by these words;

The trusts" are handled with care.
He SAYS "monopolies" can be suppressed

may be true enough. But there are no

word. As is well known to all who have
studied the question. the colossal enter
prises known as trusts" and "monopo.
lies" cannot be dissolved because they
have been organized in accordance with
the laws of our land. Ths statute law
or common law might easily be applied
against monopolies, but Judge Parker
fails to point cut where there are any
monopolies.
The same sort of evasion percolates
through the entire letter. Judge Parker
does not appear to approve ot the man
ner in which the United States acquired
the canal rights, but he nevertheless
says;
The Panama route having been Sc
lected. the building of the canal should
be pressed TO completion with all rea-

"Shall the wrongdoer be brought to

"shall our government stand for equal
opportunity or for special privilege
~Shall il remain government of law
or become one of individual eapricey
shall we cling to the rule of the peo-

The answer is easy. We shall contin-
ne to have the best government in exist

EVIDENCE HEARD
BY JUDGE SANDERS
The Testimony Showed Sunday
Hours Were For Charity.
Mayor Yeiser Says Had he Known
Facts the Police Should Not
Have Sought Actors.
DECISION BY SATURDAY

The star case before Police Judge ID.
l.. Sanders this morning was that
against MIR james y. English, manager
OF. the Kentucky theatre. for giving a
show both afternoon and night at his
playhouse Sunday.
Judge Sanders heard all evidence in
he case and after reading the statutes
cloud and passing briefly ON the eyi-
dence in the case. stated he would reach
= decision and render il Saturday morn
ing.
The evidence in the case shows clearly
and without a doubt that .se proceeds
Of the shows went TO Nh. Louis Friant
the ex-policeman, and Chief Collins says
Mr. Friant's appreciation and gratitude
Tor the money was sufficient to put glad
ness int, The hearts of anyone fortunate
enough - have been able TO do so much
GOOD in worthycause.
The evidence showed that Rev. G. W
Perryman telephoned Mayor d. 4. Neis-
cr Sunday that Mr.. English would give
two shows and that he thought this was
against the law and the matter should
be nipped in the bud by the officials
stopping the performances. Mayor
Yeiser assured the minister that h,
would do all he could To remedy the mat
ter Mayor Yeiser notified Chief Col
lins to procure warrants il the show
were given. this being the regular pro
ecdure, and CHIEF Collins notified Mr.
English accordingly. Mr. English stated
he was giving the show for charity and
, would not stop. Chief Collins then sent
Officer T. J. Moore to the play house in
structcd to take names of those attend
ing that evidence be complete, and Mr.
. English called the officer into the bo'
. office and had him check every ticket
sold and at the close of the shows
, check up with the manager of the show
and with himself, to see that the show
pcople or theater company got nothing.
n Officer Moore testified that over th'
y actual running expenses of the hous'
every cent was sealed in an envelope an'
turned over to Captain Joe Woods an'
: locked up at the city hall. Yesterday
: afternoon Chief Collins took the enyelop
which had never been opened. to NJ
Friant and gave il to the ex-oflicer.
Mr.. English testified that neither the
show company nor himself got cen
and the evidence clearly showed that the
suspicious that the claim of charity
was blind" were unfounded.
Judge Sanders at the close OF the tes
timony stated that he would wait unit
Saturday before rendering a decision.
Chief Collins stated that since the mat
ter was brought into court. many tele
phone messages had been received at th'
hall from both men and women express
ing regret that any interference ha'
been attempted.
Mayor Yeiser did not know until thii
morning that the warrant issued in Jus
tice Youngs court was made retmnabl'
J to constable or sheriff, and state,
| had he known this he would not have le'
his police attempt TO serve it. Ii
| seems that the sheriff or constable coul'
not be found and minister telephone
to Mayor Yeiser and asked that he in
struct his police TO serve them. Mayo

Sunday Morning Nail.

There is again considerable talk
among the various towns on the Santa
Fe west of Newton, about Sunday
morning mail from the east, and we
believe that united action on the
part of the commercial clubs in the
various cities, or committees of bust
ness men, would have the desired re-
suit. At any rate it is worth trying
for. The commercial club at Ster-
ling has taken the matter up this
ime, and aretrying to push it through.
It would certainly be great accom-
mediation to the travelling public, as
well as the business men and citizens
generally. We trust the proposition
will be pushed to a successful con-
ciusion.

Black Terror From The South
West Hits Kansas Town
Storm Struck at Three in the After
noon Sunday.

From Mr.. n. A. Nebaugh, OF
Mcpherson, who was at the
Hotel Greene this morning, we
learn these particulars of a
cyclone which passed through
Mcpherson county Sunday after
noon.
A black, ugly cloud gathered
in the southwest about B p. m.
In few moments, and with a
terrible roar, the monster swept
down upon the town. 1t passed
through the east part of the city,
about 6 blocks from the main
street. There the settlement
was not very dense. Many
barns and smaller buildings
were swept off the earth. Two
residence were badly damaged,
and one house was completely
swept away.
At the Archie Brown place one
of the girls was injured most
seriously. The steel range was
lifted up, and in falling struck
the girl.
There was but little rain
accompanying the twister.
From the city Mr.. Nebaugh
observed it's coming and going.
He thinks that a number of farm
houses east of Mcpherson were
strdck, although having to leave
early in the evening, he could
not obtain particulars. of the
out of town damages.
In the city no one was fatally
injured, although. many were
slightly bruised up. One man,
he says, was taken up into the
air a hundred feet. He estimates
the property damage at $4,000.
A report also comes from
Salina that about 4 p. NJ, a
cyclone passed through the
country east of that city. No
particulars as to damages.
