these two offices would be taken out
of politics.
The practice of electing the judici-
airy is of exceeding doubtful value.
New York has been more than once
an object lesson of the evils of that
system. But if there must be an
elective judiciary, its evils can be
minimized by such an arrangement
as is proposed.

WEDNESDAY. AUGUST II. 1903.
Davis Accepts.

Ex-senator Henry Gassaway Davis
accepts the Vice Presidential nomina-
ton of the Democratic party in a
speech of pleasing mediocrity. He
congratulates the party on harmon
ious convention, and John Sharp Will
liams on being himself. He heartily
indorses the platform and believes
that the gold standard is 'frrevocably
established He deplores Republican
extravaganza and views with alarm"
the future.
-Four years ago factories, mills,
mines, and furnaces were in active
operation, unable to supply the de-
mand, but now many are closed, and
those that are open are being operat-
ed with reduced force on short hours.
Then wages were high, labor was
scarce, and there was work for all
Now work is scarce, many wage
earneTs unemployed, and wages re-
duced. The apprehension which now
prevails in business circles and the
present unsatisfactory industrial con-
ditions Of the country seem to demand
a political change"
Mr.. Davis also voices the warmest
praise for Judge Parker, with whom
he appears to have become wonder
fully well acquainted on the occasion
of his single visit of a few hours
duration at Esopus.
HE is a man of courage, yet pru-
dent; of high ideals, yet without pre-
tense; of the most wholesome respect
for the Constitution and the majesty
of the laws under it, and a sacred re-
gard for their limitations; of the
keenest sense of justice. which would
rebel against compromising a wrong
TO an individual or to a nation; posi-
tive in conviction, yet of few words;
strong in mental and moral at
tributes, and yet withal modest and
reserved; possessed Of a sturdy con-
stitution and magnificent manhood.
and yet temperate in his actions and
dignified in his demeanor"
Nor is anyone. either Democrat or
Republican, Populist or Prohibition
list, Socialist or Anti-Imperialist, like
~ to dispute Mr.. Davis convictions,
even though they did come from the
hard school of experience" that
measured by the character of the
work he does and the cost of living,
a man is entitled to full compensation
for his services" The difficulty comes
in getting the two parties to the
agreement-the employer and the en-
ploye-to determine which shall say
what the full compensation" shall
be.
Standing before the public as the
man who is relied upon 70 swing
West Virginia, the industries of
which are so vitality dependent upon
the Republican policy of a protective
tariff. into the Democratic column,
Mr.. Davis perhaps wisely refrains
from commenting upon the assertion
of the Democratic platform that the
Republican protective tariff is rob-
berry.
Representing himself an aggregate
Of cooperative interests Of impressive
magnitude, Mr.. Davis undoubtedly
shows equal wisdom in denying him
self SO much as a whisper upon the
somewhat prominent issue of the
trusts. However. he promises later
something more formal in writing, at
which time. no doubt. he viii keep
his promise by charging upon these
two matters. which are unquestion-
ably some of the important ques-
tons now commanding the attention
of the country"
