JUDGE PARKER
CONSIDERING METHODS OF
CAMPAIGNING
MAY MAKE SPEECHES
In a Few of the Storm
CenterS.

Rosemount, Esopus, N. Y, Aug. s.
Confronted by the seemingly unescap-
able necessity of making known fur
Their and more detailed views of the
issues of the campaign before election
day, Judge Parker is seeking the best
method of making these views publicly
known. He has not changed his mind
about the inexpediency of hippo
drome campaign and he will not swing
around the circle.
He realizes that many questions will
need to be answered and many false
impressions corrected in the public
mind before November 8. He has
considered carefully the method inau-
gurated by the late President Mckinley
by which the former president gained
the peoples ear through speeches from
his front porth to visiting delegations
Except in case of extremis Judge Park
er will not adopt this plan. He has also
considered the use Of the authorized In
terview and has rejected 1t as undigni-
fed His last recourse lies In making
a few well timed and comprehensive
speeches to be delivered In the storm
centers of the campaign and it may be
said with authority that he will prob
ably decide on this method.
Senator Bailey encouraged the
speech idea during his last visit and
Daniel Lamont and Judge Gray Of Del
aware who will come tomorrow will be
asked for further advice upon the sub
ject. There were no visitors at Rose
mount today.
August Belmont, who Is member oi
the Democratic executive committee
visited Judge Parker here tonight.
About $50 D. m. Mr.. Belmont's yacht
Scout arrived from New York and tiet
up at the Rosemount dock. Mr.. Bel
mont was not aboard and the captair
said he did not expect him. Twenty
minutes later, however, Mr. Belmont
alighted from a northbound West Shore
train and was driven to the residence
of the candidate.
He was much surprised and some
what displeased when o reporter ne
him at the villa and asked him the rea
son of his late call.
| Just social" said Mr.. Belmont
though the hour was 10 at night, ant
would say no more. Judge Parker de
clined, also, to comment upon the pur
pose of the extraordinary visit.
Mr.. Belmont returned to New Yorl
in the Scout at a late hour.

PISTOLS IN POCKETS

There would be fewer murders in the United
States like the unprovoked assassination of An
drew H. Green were proper legislation enacted
and enforced in every State of the Union re-
Stricting the sale OF pistols and knives under
reasonable regulations. In Great Britain a
movement is on foot to require proper safe
guards in the sale of firearms. There has been
too much laxity and injurious license in such
matters in this country. There ought to be
law in every commonwealth in this republic
laying down barriers of genuine weight against
the carrying of revolyers without permits from
the proper authorities, and the granting of such
permits ought TO be hedged about with thorough
precautions.
Moreover, any and every offender against
such q statute should be compelled TO serve a
term of imprisonment, and not be allowed to
escape punishment by the mere payment of a
fine. The civilization which makes such n
crime as the murder of public spirited citizen
so easily possible is not the civilization of the
highest order. Men who buy pistols or bowie
knives ought to be obliged to give some account
of themselves and to furnish their addresses, of
which records should be kept. The purchase of
rifles or shotguns is q different matter in our
large cities at least Any person who should
try to walk about our streets with a firearm
larger than a revolver would speedily be called
upon by policemen to answer questions, pro-
vded his weapon was out of its case and pre-
pared for mischief. But the annals OF our
criminal courts prove that it is the practice of

Washington, June Naval officers are taking

OF attack which the Japanese contemplate on

1t is believed that the Japanese scheme would

the fall OF Port Arthur the Russian ships might

Arthur is absolutely necessary for the Japanese

NEW LIGHT on CANCER

preliminary report, showing the progress
already effected, has just been made by the in
vestigators who have been at work for n veor
or two under the endowment known as the
British Cancer Research Fund. Nothing like
n final discussion Of the subject IS undertaken
1t looks as If a direct reference to the many
supposed discoveries Of cancer germ had been
avoided, too. for the present Still, some Of the
facts which are now made public have bear
ing on the main question of causation
The report shows that many more creatures
are afflicted with cancerous growthS than has
been commonly supposed. Savage human races,
domestic animals wild animals in captivity,
wild animals living in a state OF nature, and
even salt water fishes, victims Of such dis
orders. 1t is not yet practicable to show what
percentage of any one species suffers, or what
is the rate of mortality. 1t has been shown be-
yond question, though that the sarcoma and
carcinoma to which animals and fishes are sub
jeCt are identical in character with those forms
OF cancer in man. Suspicious that such was
the case may have been entertained before but
never until now has the demonstration been
complete.
From the wide geological distribution OF can
Ger which is here revealed a number of legiti-
mate differences may be drawn. Foremost
among them is the conclusion that malignant
tumors are in no way product OF civilization.
Some diseases Of the kidneys in man are clear
ly traceable to injudicious dietary indugences
arrangements Of the nervous system frequent
ly result from eXcesseS or overwOrk. Near
sightedness and numerous other organic az
fectons are believed to be the products OF alb
normal modes Of living or foolish fashions in
dress None of these troubles beset the horse,
the dog, the tiger or the salmon. When, there
fore, it is found that cancer exercises n wide
sway in the animal kingdom, it is safe TO say
that nothing peculiarly human is responsible
for its development. BY thus narrowing the
limits within which the cause is to be sought, n
successful termination of the inquiry is GER
tainly promoted.
