Views of Well known Men.

There is little hope for a minority
party candidate who cannot command
the support OF all followers OF his politi-
cal faith. Four years ago thousands OF
Democrats openly declared they would
not vote for Bryan, and this year there
are many who say they will not support
Parker. Several leading democratic
newspapers also have bolted Parker and
come out openly for Roosevelt. notable
among them being the Chicago Chronicle,
the New York sun. the Boston Pilot
Urish-Amerieanl and the Sacramento
Bee. Prominent men who formerly vot-
ed the Democratic ticket, but will cast
their ballots for Roosevelt on Nov. 8,
include John A Mccall, Major John
Byrne. Eugene A. Pbnbin, Patrick Egan
and Oscar Strauss.

FRANkNESS VS.. MYSTERY.
Difference in the Methods of Roo.evo1n
and Parker.


Theodore Roosevelt has not yet found
Ii necessary to send any telegrams to
political leaders explaining is position
on questions OF public policy. He stands
on platform without any trapdoorz
He doesn't have TO give his personal
guaranty that his party will be pre-
vented from following along the pat
way of national dishonor. There has
never yet been time when the people
Of the United States did not know en-
aeny where TO find Theodore Roosevale
on any matter of public interest He
has never concealed his views. He has
never hid from the political census takexx
he has never lacked the courage OF his
convictions: and he has never, since his
boyhood, hesitated 10 take his fellow
men into his confidence. The opennezs
Of Roosevelt's character and the se-
cretiveness of thft of Parker, the dirsce-
ness OF the methods of the one and tie
indirectness OF the other seem likely -
be made important issues IN the CAM
paign. This peculiarity of the honest In
dividuality Of Theodore Roosevelt was
best expressed by Senator Beveridge
when he said. The American peopla,

THAT PARKER TELEGRAM.
An independent Editor. View, Bad
Attack of Hystcrin.

Golfers Weekly is one of the papers
which tries to maintain conservative,
independent position. The fame Of its
editor is worldwide and his serious juds-
ment is ns sound as his sarcasm and
humor. The following concerning Mr..
Parker's telegram, which forms the lead
ing editorial in a recent issue of Golfers
under the head Of ''Hysteria." should be
read by every fair-minded voter:
"There is coming to pass in regard TO
the Parker telegram about what was TO
be expected. IL matters not whether
they are for the Judges election or
against il. ordinary, clear headed Ameri-
cans must suffer a reaction after being
worked into excitement over allegations
that are absurd. They must come TO see
the facts in the more or less clear light
of common sense. They observe the part
played By Mr.. August Belmont In the
present campaign. They read that Sen
ator McCarren receives n salary of
$4,000 n year from the Standard Oil
Company. Whether that be true or not.
it is certain that the Senator is very
smooth man. They know something of
the history of the adroit BlueE Eyed
Billy Sheehan and a good deal more Of
the history of David Bennett Hill. The
principles of Bourke Cochran are not
shrouded in mystery. These men form
the group nearest TO Judge Parker; most
likely to know and influence his councils;
most likely, were he President, TO COM
pose or suggest his cabinet.
"Now, men of this stamp secured the
nomination of Judge Parker at st. Louis,
acting al his spokesmen. Certain prom
ises and compromises were necessary to
obtain that prize. When the nomina-
ton was secure, and could not be taken
away. without putting the Democratic
party in the position of seeming to re-
ject a man because he favored gold, the
Judge sent his telegram. He was I'm
mediately hailed by that part of the
press which is primarily interested in
markets as a hero who had been willing
to sacrifice the Presidency to his duty.
Such idiocy must have its rebound.
"Bryan's cross of gold metaphor, which
drove another class of people into frenzy,
had its reaction. although even II, fal-
lacious as il was, had a much solder
foundation than the childish story that
to offer back a nomination when it could
not possibly be withdrawn without ab-
surd disaster was the bravest deed ever
perpetrated In American politics. Inanf-
ties Of that kind never pay. The people
may become excited for a moment, but
then they settle down to contemplate
with digust the spectacle they have
made. Judge Parker played good poll
tics. or he did not. Those who tried to
turn him into q hero did all they could
to turn him into an ass. The newspaper
which is trying to prove that it forced
him to send the telegram is not doing
him any more harm than the others
which are still hailing him as Casabian-
ca. II the Democrats wish to carry
New York. not to talk Of any Western
State. they had better get busy and show
that Judge Parker is less of plutocrat
and more of q Democrat than Theodore
Roosevelt"

The Home Market.

Good wages make good buyers and
general prosperity. full employment,
good wages, and fair prices are the only
conditions which can insure to a coun-
try the prosperity that comes from
large distribution and consumption of all
kinds of products. Consequently the
country which has the wisdom TO pro-
tect and guard the home market will be
most prosperous. and the party that fav-
ors that policy represents patriotism,
prosperity and progress. That spells the
Republican party. and its standard bear
er Is Theodore Roosevelt.

Eugene A. PhiIbin.

New York. Aug. 16.-Ex-District At
torney Eugene A. Philbin, a recognized
gold Democratic leader in New York, is
out for Roosevelt. In explaining his po-
sition he said with regard to Roosevelt's
devotion to duty:
Those who are forced to admit that
Roosevelt's course during the last three
years has been conservative insist that
this was because he was a candidate for
reelection all this time and that when
he is elected by voice of the people he
will take q different course.
my personal acquaintance with
Roosevelt leaves me In no doubt re-
garding his attitude in that respect. He
has at all times shown a willingness to
sacrifice personal policy for the public
good and great devotion to duty. He Is
also a shrewd politician, and to be that
he must be possessed with the necessary
sagacity to manage our foreign z,la-
tions 80 that. our interests will be best

ponds on how the flour is milled and
on the kind of wheat from which 1t is
made. Flour made from hard spring
wheat will give from twenty to forty
more loaves Of bread ner barrel than
that made from the softer winter wheat.
1t contains a larger percentage of glu-
ten and absorbs more water. The mills
are exceedingly careful about the kind
of -four they send out, and the testing
department is one Of the most import
ant branches.
After the flour is ground comes the
crucial test. A sample Is taken and
made IN into bread. We have four
bakings a day, and from twenty to thir-
ty loaves are baked each time, each one
representing a sample Of flour. After
the test has been made the bread is
turned over to the Associated Chari-
ties.
''You may have noticed that the color

the fact that the rich portion Of the
