DEMOCRATIC QUANDAKIEs,

Judge Parker's declaration as to the
Philippines in his speech of accept
ance has split the Democratic party
along new line of cleavage. His
utterance on that subject was appar-
emily intended to be not too forcible
or decided. and it served its purpose
very we'll so far as 1t went. But the
minute an effort is made to discover
therein the belief of the Democratic
candidate as to the government or dis
position OF the islands, that minute
there is trouble. The Parker utter
ance is capable of several interpreta.
tons
The Brooklyn Eagle and New York
Times both rejoice over Parker's
assertion that we must give the
Filipinos "self- government" only "as
soon as they are reasonably prepared
for it,. " They hold up this declaration
as proof that if Parker should be
elected, the policy Of the government
in the Philippines would remain I'M
changed. These papers approve OF the
course being followed by the Repobli-
can party in that respect and therefore
are rejoiced that Parker desires to
steer the Democratic party along
similar coarse.
The New York World, however,
condemns Judge Parker's view as be-
ing a departure from the Democratic
platforms Of both 1900 and 1904 and as
throwing away completely the "anti-
imperialis5ic" issue. 1t demands that
the candidate in his letter of accept
snce change his stand as taken in his
. speech or acceptance the springfield
Republican seems not to know what
Parker meant by the word self
government, or rather seems to think
Parker used it without knowing its
proper meaning. 1t tries to show that
the word was used so as to mean Gin
dependence, but to say so is to speak
rather lightly of the Candidates in
telligence.
In other matters has Parker's speech
ava" 1S-ASSA"VS IL q duaHNoly LIS
speech in it's references to the money
question, the trust question, and the
tariff is at variance with the party's
action at st. Louis Parker called
the st. Louis platform "admira-
BILE, T" but tried to make a new
platform of his own with the result
that no Democrat knows which leg to
stand on. Shall he follow the plat
form and cry protection is robbery
or follow Parker in mild assertion
that non partisan revision of tariff
schedules would be beneficial Is he
to call for new and more stringent
Rntitru legislation, or shall he ac-
cept Parker's view that "other and
different laws are not needed?
Shall he eulogize Parker's belated
conversion to the gold standard, after
voting twice for free silver, as a
great heroism," or shall he follow
the convention i'll the belief that the
less said about Democratic "heroism"
on the money question the better?
Thus the Democrats are at sea. In
the meantime the Republicans know
where they stand and why they stand
there. They know their candidate
and what he believes. 1t is the known [
against the unknown.

We who have been Entrusted with
power as public servants during the
past seven years of administration and
legislation now come before the peo-
pie content to be judged by our record
of achievement. In the years that
have gone by we have made the deed
square with the word; and if we are
continued in power we shall unswerv-
ingly follow out the great lines of
public policy which the Republican
party has already laid down; public
policy to which we are giving and
shall give, a united, and therefore all
efficient, support. President Roose-

The birth of an heir TO the throne
in Russia gives the Russians, or at
least a part of them, occasion for
great rejoicing. 1t is hailed as the
omen of the turn of the tide for Rus
STA in the war and of better times at
home. 1t may be that the presence
of direct heir to the throne will be
of some assistance in the conduct of
home affairs, iDasmuch as it must
necessarily stop much of the intrigu-
ing of the Grand Dukes, all of whom
we're working for the Office of the
next car of all the Russiss. But
some thing more than the advent of
an infant is needed to bring Russian
victories in the East.

away with himself but the family
thought he had wandered away and
got lost. Search for him was of no
avail, however He was sixty-four
years old and leaves a widow and two
children. He did stone cutting on a

SPEAKER MERRIFIEED.

The Windham County Reformer
discussed the Vermont speakership at
some length in its last issue 1t shows
plainly that the choice Of Speaker
is begun by the voters in the towns
which aspire to the honor and not by
the Representatives when they meet
in Montpelier. The Reformer then
continues:
"The title of Speaker is a misnomer.
Probably no man OF prominence in the
General Assembly speaks less than
tine Speaker. His function is tb at Of
a presiding officer, and the nect ssary
qualifications for success are tact, pa
thence and impartiality. No man who
has occupied the Speakers chair in
recent years has shown these qualifi-
cations in greater degree than did
Speaker John Merrifield, and this in
spite of the fact that the body over
which he presided was most difficult
one to handle to the satisfaction of all.
"The Reformer is not entirely in
sympathy with Mr.. Merrifield in his
political views, but we believe, as dc
all who know him, that he Is O mar

MHEN THE AIR Is HOIST.
The Question Of "uumidity" Is Che
4 That Is Technical and But Lit
tie Understood.

While it las been the aim of the
officials of the weather bureau to
get the best possible instruments
Tor registering the temperature
and making the predictions of
s'weather present and TO come" it
is said that no thermometer is per-
feet, and that no two thermome-
tiers register exactly alike, states
the Washington Star.
This is the reason given by
weather bureau officials for the
difference in temperature noted at
the weather bureau and that regis
tered by thermometers in the pos.
session of private citizens.
According to Prof. Garriott
neither the weather bureau nor it's
official thermometer is, as many
suppose, any material height
above the city. The thermometer,
according to Prof. Garriott, is
probably 40 feet higher than those
on the city streets, but this, it is
said, is not great enough to affect
the mercury to any noticeable de.
gree. -..".
Prof. Garriott says that the
question of humidity" is one
which frequently agitates the
mind of people during the summer,
but that it is so technical in it's ma.
ture that hardly one person in ten
understands what it all means
when an authority dissertates on
the subject.
For this reason little is given
out officially at the weather bu.
reau. 1t is disposed to confine it.
self to the mere statement of tenn.
pcrature.
After a rain in summer time,
when everyone is declaiming
about the sickness of the atmos.
phere, it is because the air retains
all the moisture it has absorbed
and there is no means of cooling
the atmosphere. On the contrary,
when it is dry the heat may be
greater, but the moisture is evap.
grated, and in that process the air
is really cooled. 1t is on the same
principle, Prof. Garriott said, as
the cooling air of the morning,
when the dew from the grass evap.
crates and materially cools the
air.
1t is not, therefore, the purpose
of the weather bureau to attempt
to make plainto the general public
the question Of humidity. Prof.
Garriott says it is a thing which
must be studied thoroughly in or.
der to be understood.

BALL GAME.
First OF the Season Results in
Victory For StOnega.

NiSAOtJ TUT
On last Saturday afternoon the
first ball game Of the season was
played on the beautiful diamond at
this place between the home team
and the Stonega nine. The result
was a victory for Stonega in a score
of IL to O.. The game was a fairly
good one, considering it 10 be the
first game Of the season and that the
boys had had very little practice.
StOnega has a splendid team this
year, and will. no doubt. be seen Of
ten in the contest games during the
Fourth Of July series.
We were unable to get the line MP
OF the game. owing to the fac; that
the Stonega score keeper took the
card with him. and we have
been unable 10 get it. The score by
innings is as follows:
