usurpation. 1t is said that this order
was made in the performance of duty
imposed upon the president by act OF
congress- but the provision making
the imposition is not pointed out.
1T is said by the administration, in
reply to the public criticism of this
order, that it is easy to test our op.
ponents' sincerity in this matter. The
order in question is revocable at the
pleasure of the executive. Ii our op.
ponents come into power they can re.
woke this order and announce thai
they will treat the veterans of 62 ant
20 as presumably in full bodily vigol
and not entitled to pension. Will they
authoritatiyely state that they Intend
to do this? If SO We accept the is
sue.'
THE making of that order was, in
my judgment, an attempted, though
perhaps unwilling, encroachment upon
the legislative power, and, therefore,
unwarranted by the constitution, the
challenge is accepted. If elected, will
revoke that order. But go further
and say that that being done, / will
contribute my effort toward the enact
ment of law to be passed by both
houses of congress and approved By
the executive that will give an age
pension without reference to disability
to the surviving heroes of the civil
war.
In concluding his letter Judge Par
ker says:
"The issues are joined and the peo-
pie must render the verdict.
Shall economy of administration he
demanded, or shall extravaganza be
encouraged?
Shall our government stand for
equalfopportunity, or for special privi-
lege? ~ ggEEE
"Shall the wrongdoer be brought To
bay by the people. or must justice wait
upon political oligarchy?
"Shall it remain a government OF
law, or become one Of individual ca
price?
"Shall we cling to the rule Of the
people. or shall We embrace benefcent
desI otism?

PARKER ACCEPTS
! THE HIGH HONOR
LETTER OF DEMOCRATIC CAM
DIDATE MADE PUBLIC.
SYNOPSIS OF THE DOCUMENT
Paramount Issues Are Declared to Be
the Tariff, Imperialism, Economy
of Administration and Hon
esty in Public Service.

New York, Sept 26.-Judge Parker
formal letter of acceptance to the demo-
cratic notification committee is a doc
ument of some 5000 words. and is adj
dressed to Hon. Champ Clark and other
members of the committee. In the open
ing paragraph Judge Parker says he
wishes his remarks made at the time
of his notification to be considered a
part of his formal response. Continu-
ing, he says:
Grave public questions are pressing
for decision. The democraticparty ap-
peals to the people with confidence that
its position on these questions will be
accepted and Endorsed at the polls.
While the issues involved are numerous,
some stand forth preeminent in the
public mind. Among these are: Tariff
reform, Imperialism, economical adj
ministration and honesty in the public
service.
On the subject of Imperialism the let
ter says: IF we would retain our lib
critics and constitutional rights unim-
paired, we cannot permit or tolerate, at
any time or for any purpose, the arro-
cation of unconstitutional power by the
executive branch of our government.
Turning to the subject of the tariff
and the democratic demand for reform
in that line, he says:
Tariff reform is one of the cardinal
principles of the democratic faith, and
the necessity for it was never greater
than at the present time. 1t should he
undertaken at once in the interest of all
our people.
I'm the words of our platform, we de-
mand "a revision and gradual reduc-
ton of the tariff by the friends of the
masses, and for the common veal, and
not by the friends of it's abuses, its ex-
tortions and Determinations. II
AS remedies for trusts Judge Parker
favors such legislation within consti-
tutional limitations as will best promote
and safeguard the interests of all the
people.
1.-THE national democracy favors lib |
eral pensions to the surviving soldiers |
and sailors and their dependents, on |
the ground that they deserve liberal |
treatment. 1t pledges by its platform
adequate legislation to that end. But

You needn't laugh-I did miss him.
"Of course, dear" said her friend,

watered his plants every morning and
adjusted the ventilatafs before he
caught the 1850 express for the big city

you were lucky enough to be invited
into his snug little greenhouse, while a

Yes" remarked the girl in the brown
taffeta dreamiIy. He used to mention
the fact the evenings he spent at my
house. On, beg your pardon; do go
on"
The girl in blue had flash in her eye
but she disdained to take further no
tice. IF he'd met me at the station, as
he said he would, it would have been
all right" she went on. You see, the
parlor car was almost empty, and from
Buffalo west there were no other wo-
men in it. There was such cookbook
Ing man opposite me. If you could
have seen his profile! Now, l don't APP
prove of making acquaintance on the
tTain-but he was so different! 1t got
aWfully lonesome and tiresome and /
telt sorry for him. Finally once when
he walked by me he dropped a maya
zine in my lap and said he thought I'd
ma some interesting pictures in 1t.
Then he went on to the smoking COM
partment, sosIsaw at once that he was
not trying to f1irt. When he came back
/ gave him book I'd been reading. I
couldn't do less in common courtesy,
could I?'' ..'.
Certainly not" said the girl in
brown. Especially when he had pro-
fle!''
Then he stopped by my section to
ask how liked one Of the stories, and
was so delightful that I got into reg
ular conversation with him. At lunch
con in the diner he strolled in and
Clysad Jo5 8 H. a..
table. / couldn't very well say no.
That afternoon he entertained me with
accounts of his travels abroad, and in
the evening we ate dinner together.
BY that time I'd got over being scared
| at the idea of getting friendly with a
stranger. We had perfectly delight
full time: he wanted to know if l was d
Chicago girl and which side of the city
lived on. 1t seemed he lived on the
north side, too. I'd forgotten all about
Harold--for the moment-so judge EIy
CONSERVATION when at the Thirty-first
street stop he arose from the far end Of
the car and walked toward us.
He was perfectly black with rage.
We just stared at each other Then /
gasped, Why, where did you get on?'
Harold glared at the man sitting be-
side me and remarked Jelly that he HAD
boarded the train down in Indiana to
enjoy seeing nne-that was when was
eating dinner with my stranger-but I
had seemed so entertained that he had
not ventured to intrude on us.
fAll the while he was obviously wait
ing for me to introduce him to the man
with me-and / couldn't, for / didn't
know his name. Then the stranger
with the handsome profile did the only
thing possible to save his life-he arose
and said it was his station and depart
ed. That left me with Harold.
Harold had vivid ideas about young
women who didn't know the names of
persons with whom they were appa-
rently on terms of warm friendship
At least, that's what he called it.. BY
the time we reached the city had told
him what thought of hin1--and he put
me in cab and / came home alone.
What was naddest about was that
he interrupted me just before the man
with the profile had told me his name
he was getting out his card when Har-
old doomed up. 1t was his total lack
of tact which ended Harold with me-
why, you poor thing!" said her
friend, cheerfully Chicago News.
