Everybody profits by the growth Of
manufactures. Those who are engaged In
the business either as capitalists or wage
earners profit first of all, but in addi-

handle manufactured products, the rail-

who enjoy an increased demand for their
products, and all other classes who share

1t is fortunate for the Republican
party that its candidate for the Prcsi-
dency is so well known to the people of
the United States that no story, no re-
fection upon his character or his work
affects the public mind in the slightest
degree. The American people have had
their eyes on President Roosevelt for
many years; they know him. They re-
spect and trust him. The falsifications
OF the enemy against him are useless.

responsibilities of the presidency.
He is either demag gogue without
conscience or else the victim of malici-
GUS enemies or foolish advisers. The
statements he utters are 80 false and
absurd and ridiculous that he deserves
more pity than blame. For example. he
tells US that We have wasted over $3.50

other gentlemen have asserted that the

Parker splits the difference. II would
be interesting TO know where he gets his
figures.
A resolution was introduced in the

Notification day, the greatest day in
the modern history of Ulster County,
New York, arrived with a pouring rain
which set in just after daylight and
confounded the prophecies of those
who had promised Judge Parker ideal
weather when he was TO receive for
NAL information of his selection by the
Democratic national convention as its
nominee for President of the United
States. When Judge Parker arose at
the usual hour Wednesday morning
the rain was coming down in steady
pour from leaden sky. The unpropi-
tious weather and the comments OF
his family and guests OH the subject
were received by the Judge himself
with a smile and he went about the
business of the day with his usually
cheerful spirits.
The informality Of the proceedings
to come was shown by the absence OF
any visible preparation or ceremony

FIRM STAND BY ENGLAND,
Russia Warned that No More Neutral
Ships May Be Sunk at Sea.

The controversy between Great Britain
and Russia over the latter's act in justi-
fying the sinking of neutral ships is rap
idly approaching an acute stage where
one power or the other must give way.
Great Britain refuses to accept Rus
sia's definition of contraband of war, and
insists that the sinking Of the British
steamer Knight Commander was a vio-
lation of international law.
Russia in reply reasserts her right to
sink captured neutral ship if she sees
fit, without waiting for n naval prize
court to determine whether it carries con-
trabapd or not.
In the House of Commons Premier
Balfour, while admitting the gravity of
the situation. said that he was confident
that nat onother neutral ship would be
sunk by the Russians. He declared that
the sinking of the Knight Commander
was an international outrage and stated
that the British government had express
ell 70 Russia in the clearest way possible
that view.
In the House of Lords similar dec
Iaration was made by Lord Lausdowne.
the bfltiSn minister OF foreign IUalrS.
Russia. said Lord Lansdowne, had issued
regulations at the beginning of the war
which greatly amplitiGd the definition of
contraband hitherto accepted by Great
Britain, the enlarged definition including
such articles as coal, alcohol. rye and
other provisions, horses. etc. The Brit
ish government had deemed it its duty to
call the attention of Russia to the yrav-
ity of the question, referring particularly
to the inclusion Of provisions, in which
England is largely interested. among the
articles classified as Internationally con-
traband of war"
The British government, therefore. had
informed Russia, said Lord Lansdownc
that Great Britain refused to consider
itself bound to regard as valid the decis-
ion of any prize court violating these
rights. or which failed to act in conform
ity with recognized principles of inter
national law.
The government had been given to IN
dcrstand in reply that Russia considered
that it was within the rights of bcllig-
erent to destroy Il captured neutral yes
sci, whether it carried contraband or not
Great Britain, said Lord Lansdowne. had
never accepted such view, and he ~AGa
Lansdowne) believed it had been refused
by other powers.
