der to those who supported me for
the Democratic nomination for Con

with their votes and influence, my
most heartfelt thanks,
While we have lost, we have kept
our names and honor clean, and
have no regrets over past conduct,

crase to hope for the dny to come
when fortune shall favor us with
her smiles
For those who saw fit to oppose
me with their votes aud influence
from n mere choice between men,
| have only the kindIcSt feelings,
although en- hut wish that their
choice had fallen on me. And al
though we were divided ut the prl
mary, from now on till the Novcm.
her election is over, let lis stand to-
gethrr and do battle for the Demo
cratic ticket, aud Mr.. Robh, the
nominee of our great party,
Sincerely yours,

q. D. TACTICS

The st Louis Globe Democrat
is not near as fond of Mr. Folk as
it was when it thought he had no
show for the Democratic nomlna-
ton for Governor It is now cat
ing its own words and lnaugurating
n campaign of misrepresentation
against MjsSmrl's next Governor
Last Monday it contained long
special from jefferson city, the
substance of which is that W. u.
Nundlvcr Mr.. Folks campaign
manager, had made a deal with
John II Carroll, the General At.
torncy of the Burlington railway
system. and cites the following tclc.

The purpose of the article is to
try to make 1t appear that Mr.. Cur.
roll, who is well known as Il lobby.
list, is secretly directing Mr.. Folk 5
campaign, and that there is an un-
drrStandng between him and Mr.
Folk or ms campaign manager
which ties mp Mr. Folk IN some
compromising way with the lobby
II attempts to bolster up the lnsln-
uatlou by an alleged acknowledge
mcut of Mr.. Folk to some fellow
named White in Howard county
that there was no doubt about Mr.
NandIvrr sending such Il telegram
The story is too weak for ere
denCc, even if 1t were not rcpudlut
I'd 10y both Mr. Folk and Mr. Nan
diver, for any one with grain OF

the present state of the public mind
Mr. CAROLS espousal Of Mr.
Folk : cause, either secretly or
openly, could he of no advantage
to him, and as neither MIR. Folk
nor his campaign manager are po.
lltical IDIOTS, is it likely that they
would be consulting Mr.. Carroll MS
to how to conduct the campaign
We give in another column Mr..
Folks denial of all knowledge OF
the affair, and n statement from
Mr.. Nordsidc, who is in charge of
Mr. Folks headquarters in the alb
Scnce of Mr.. Nandivcr, which
throws some light on the distorted

Judge Parker of New York is in
the lead for the Democratic homi
nation for President, but even his
warmest supporters do not claim
that he will 90 before the Nation
al Convection with sufficient
number of delegtes to nominate
him under the two-thirds rule,
which prevails in all Demo
cratic National Conventions. Mr.
Hearsts friends claim that they
will control more than One-third
Of the delegates, and will be in n
position to hold Judge Parker
nomination in check.
Judge Parker is not satisfactory
to large contingent OF the party
because of the influences back of
his candidacy in the East, but a
large majority of the delegates
from the Southern States will be
for him because they believe he is
the most available man with which
lead to defeat Roosevelt, whom they
bitterly resent because of his pro.
negro attitude. They are inclined
to this opinion because of Judge
Parker's strength in the East

The Yale News, in commenting on the decrease in the number of fresh men this year, explains that the rigid ness in the examinations ill ancient and modern languages and bad busi- ness conditions in the west were two patent causes.-Meriden Journal.
 The announcement that bears in Yellowstone park do not kill visitors has gone unchallenged for years. It is partly within the knowledge of some who read these lines. Now comes a story that man and boy have been killed by some of these civilized griz- zlies. 1t is no great wonder that doubts are expressed, and hints given that an excuse for killing a few bears is wanted.-Hartford Times.
 Possibly some of the stories from the Japanese army hospitals may be exaggerated, but the present war cer- tainly seems to offer a most remark able Illustration of the value of care as to food and drink. The immunity from disease has been astonishing, and 1t follows directly on such control of appetite and regard to hygienic rules as has been seen in no other mod ern army. All of which goes. to show that under a most important test of civilization the Japanese stand above other peoples. Hartford Times.
 Governor Odell,'' says a New York paper, lis getting extremely tired of the indscriminate abuse which is being heaped upon him by opposition news papers and public speakers, but par ticularly by morning newspaper which is supporting President Roose- yelt." We'll, what is the governor go- ing to do about it? Now is the time for him to act, if he has any plan of action. He also has an excellent op- portunity to explain away some seri- ous charges which were made by the attorney general of the state, MT Gun neen, in Buffalo, last night-Hartford Times.

Wireless telegraphy is to be em- pIoyed to aid in saving the forests of the west, says Washington special dispatch to the New York Times. Plans are being made in the bureau of forestry to establish wireless sta tions at intervals throughout the Rocky mountains, where there are large forests and where fires occur in tlie dry season every year, destroying vast areas of magnificent timber. At these stations expert observers will he kept who will give warning whenever a fire begins, and help will be called to assist in extinguishing it. The first system to be set in operation will be in the Black hills. Twelve forest rangers are employed by the govern ment there, and it is proposed to di- vide the territory into twelve sections, with a ranger in charge of each. The ranger is to give an alarm independent- ly of the automatic service if possible. If the system works successfully in the Black hills it will be extended to the other forests in the United States

Commenting on the Hon A. Heaton Robertson's convincing statements as to the serious increase of state expen- ditures in Connecticut, under republi- can rule, the Ansonia Sentinel admits that expenses have mounted to an enormous figure" 1t attempts to smooth over the situation by adding that somehow the receipts have more than kept pace with them" Yes, somehow indeed, but how? Why, by increased taxes on the people, taxes to pay for .enormous'' expenses, as the Sentinel well says. ss' Tie Hartford .Courant seeks to- make light of the matter because so large a share of the taxes are paid: by corporations. But where do the corporations, with their specially favorable charters granted by republican legislation, get the money to pay their taxes? From the dear peo- pie. No dust throwing can obscure the fact that the expenses have mounted to an enormous figure. at the expense of the people of the state.

eral purchasing power of the wages of labor in this part of the country Is less by fully 10 per cent than it was in 1899. Thus it will be seen that while the great bulk of the working classes in this neighborhood are employed, and while some of them are receiving nominally better return for their work than they did several years ago, as matter of fact their struggle for live lihood is much severer than it has been in many a long year. That the Workingmen are far from being con dent from strike of the teamsters in this city-a strike which threatens to extend itself to a large number of trades. Without going into the merits of this controversy, it will suffice to state that as a mere matter of fact the teamsters who struck for an increase of ten cents day have been working practically twelve hours a day, or thir- teen hours away from their homes, in- cluding the dinner hour. They had
 
 they are willing to continue on that basis. On, Sundays these men are re quired to clean the stables, clean and feed the horses, thus making two trips to the stables on Sundays, for which no pay is received. That this fight is destined to be most bitter one is eyi- dent from the fact that the Employers association executive committee has stated that the coal dealers of the city would spend $100,O00, if necessary, fn breaking up the strike. The fact is l that these men are having to work a great deal harder this year to support their families than they did year ago. Tbe Dingley tariff, the tariff which is supposed to bring prosperity to the la boring men before all others, is mere 1 ly decreasing the ability of the elwork- 1 ingman to support his family in com l fort and health.
