A Few Samples h wing Their Amaz-
ing I~naccuracy.

III AHdNGuIdNys
Assurance, without pronounced guile,
marks the acceptance letter of Hon.
Henry G.. Davis, the o~ctogenarian can
didate of the Democrats for the Vice
Presidency. He expresses his opinions
on political conditions as if they were
original with him, as if he were not a
human photograph with a single cylin-
der that has caught the echo of Judge
I'arker's echo of the Democratic stunt OF
oratOry. THE. times are propitious for
the reinstatement of the Democratic par
ty in control Of the government" is the
assertive way Mr.. Davis begins his po-
litical sermon. The November ballots
will be. all 'amens" to that.
Who but the Democrats will agree
with him? "When the present admins
tration went into power there was a large
surplus" he declares. He imagined that.
The Republicans came into power in
1897. Is that the meaning of his "pres-
ent administration p If so, and he means
surplus Of revenue over ordinary ex-
penditures, he is in error. Mr.. Cleve-
lands closing year of his last term
showed EXCESS OF EXPENDI-
TUKES OVER REVENUE to the
amount Of $~1S,O52.254. The surplus was
the wrong way. The statistics were east
ly obtainable; why should Mr.. Davis
make such a misstatement? If he meant
Mr.. ROosevelt's term, beginning in 1900
with Mr.. Mckinley, there was an ex-
cess in that year Of revenue over expendi-
lures amounting to $79,527 ,O6O. There
fore he is wrong again. In extenuation
it may be said that the Democrats never
were good O correct figurers. As, for
instance, again, when he asserts that the
revenues for the last fiscal year were
over $40, 100000 short of the e~xpendi-
lures. He must have been guessing
again, not having authenticated figures.
In 1903 the excess of revenue over ex-
penditures was over $4,000 900. The
absurdity of Mr.. Davis computations
and comparisons could not be more forci-
bly, shown than when he quotes statistics
to show the cost of running the govern
ment and the army under the Buchanan
regime from 1857 to 1860, when the pop
ulation was 31,218,O21, and puts it, as
an evidence of his party's economy, in
contrast with our SO,OOO,OOO population
of to-day, into the estimate of the lat
ter, dumping pension accounts, Panama
canal purchase and every outlay caused
by vast public improvements created and
carried On solely for the benefit Of the
people. The age of Mr.. Davis precludes
his compiling such figures himself; but
his anxiety for his party's success leads
.him to issue them without the common
est revision as to their correctness, or
using his judgment as to their application
to the matter he is discussing.
No n should be deceived by the fig
ures which a Democrat offers him; for
in about nine cases out of ten they will
be, like counterfeit money, made to de-
ceive.

The Last Hope for Parker.

Eastern Democrats. who, a few weeks
since. could not find words strong enough
with which to express their %reprobation
and scorn Of Mr.. Bryan, are now looking
to him. as their last hope. to carry In
diana.
The complaisant Nebraskan has Strip.
ped off his coat and plunged into the
task laid out for him. But the voice of
the aforetime charmer can charm no
longer. %Insincerity kills the most mighty
effort. No man can win sotes under the
circumstances surrounding Bryan at this
time. 1t must be a bitter pill for David
Bennett Hill to swallow. the last resort
to Bryan to save a pivotal State to the
dying Democracy, and 1t cannot be a
very congenial task to Bryan. the effort
he is making under the party whiplash.

CARTOONS,
ReprcacA and Ridicu1o for the Soldier
and His UnifOrm m.

and HE Uniform.
The campaign c~aricaturists of Presi.
dent Roosevelt have succeeded in arous-
ing enough interest to bring out the Ques.
ton: Is it disgraceful to fight for ones
country!
1t is amazing to see the uniform Of q
soldier Of the United States army pic
tured in such a manner as to imply q
rcproach to it's wearer!
1t was once thought to be an honora-
BILE thing for a man to resign position,
ease, family, independence, frie Is and
home, and become a fighting machine to
help uphold the honor and the word Of
his country.
There seems to have grown up a dit.
ferent view of this matter. The earnest
sacrifice of an American soldier is held
by some to be an affair to picture in
such a manner as to arouse contempt and
vulgar smokers in the crowd. The de-
voted soldier facing death for his coun.
try is, with these nameless miscreants. Q
sight to be guffawed over, something to
be distorted into a laugh-raising cartoon.
To the laughing hyenas of the yellow
press the stainless sword Of Washington
is but a clowns bauble. To them the
stern devotion of a soldiers experience
Is a farcical episode in a mans career,
something to be distorted into a thing to
be jeered at.
Once it was written:
1T is sweet and glorious to die for my
country"
TIL yellow rendering is:
cit is GROTESQUE AND RIDTO
ULOUS TO FIGHT FOR ONES
COUNTRY"
Such creatures would write in theis
books. if they ever wrote books, 1T h
grotesque and ridiculous to die for ens'a
country"

~FINANcIER,s ADVICE.

Henry Clews, the well-known New
York banker, was asked by two young
men who are to cast their first vote for
President this election, which is the
safer candidate to vote for, President
Roosevelt or Judge Parker. Some con-
densed extracts IN statements Of MI.
Clews' answer are herewith submitted:
"Your question to me was my own
question to myself. I approached it as
4 business man, without prejudice. l
sought to shut out every other considera-
ton but one Of safety-the surer safety.
Ny previous votes, my personal fancies
as to the personal manners Of the two
candidates, the superficial gibes and nag
gings Of the newspapers-aM these /
swept aside just as you are trying to
do, 90 sticking to this all-important Ques-
ton Of where is the surer safety. I found
there were several i~ndisputable facts
which seemed to me fully Sufficient to an
Harmonious Party Of Statesmen.
Roosevelt and his party are Of the
same mind, but Parker and his party are
OF many contradictory minds. The Re-
publican party never has had factions
within itself concerning issues. It has
been unanimous in knowing what it stood
for. The Democratic party has never
agreed upon anything, but abounds in
schisms, factions and cliques. They are
not united to-day, and have not been
united since the civil war. In 1864 their
convention declared, in its platform, that
The wal is . failure but their nomi-
nee, Gen. Mcclellan, r~epudiated that dis
loyal creed just as Judge Parker had
to send to the ~discordant, temporizing
Democratic convention at st. Louis his
famous gold telegram. MI. Parker voted
for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, although
he did not Nike Bryan, and says now that
he did NOT believe in free silver. In 1900
the gold Democrats swung back into line
behind Bryan and free silver. Like Hill.
they said, I am q Democrat and that
was enough. They did not agree with
the issue, but said, Never mind tile is
sue; we are Democrats, and we stick to
our party That answer strikes an un.
~prejudiced observer as against common
sense, and unpatriotic. Judge Parker
and the million other Democrats now adj

VERY LeUDAsLE IN PRESIDENT.

The laudabIe action Of President
Roosevelt in rendering to Senator
CockrelI, the old democratic warhorse
now defea ed, his choice of two splendid
posi- IONS in The service of the Govern
ment, causes no surprise and should
be heartily commended for more than
one reason. Senator Cockrell has
long been identified in the public SER
vice with Mr.. r 1osevelt's political ad-
versaries. He is Democrat, and has
not failed in the advocacy of those
policies for which his party has stood
through all the years Of his service.
And while always faithful, Jealous,
and often persistent, in any position
he assumed in advocating and defend
ing the policies of his party, he yet
managed to hold the respect and adj
miration of his political opponents.
The breadth of spirit which actuates
the Presidentin offering Senator Cock
rell his choice of two responsible posi-
tions can be more readily appreciated
when we remember that the Missouri
senator's name was presented to the
last Democratic n rational convention at
ST. Louis by Mr.. Bryan as the psrty's
candidate for president against Mr..
Roosevelt.
The presentation of Senator Cock
rell's name by Mr.. Bryan clImaxed
one of the most impressive popular
demonstrations witnessed during the
convention. Surely, Mr.. Roosevelt
can not be accused of political narrow
ness after thus recognizing and hon
oring this distinguished Democrat.
Senator CockreII has not only en-
deared himself to the people of the
South by faithful and efficient SER
vice in the United States Senate.
He served in the Confederate army
with ability, and is of the old school
SO loved and respected now by all sec
tions of the country. Missouri, in
Common with the entire South, will
no doubt appreciate the bread h and
patriotism of the spIrit which actuates
the President in thus continuing in
the public service a man whose faith
fulness and Efficiency have long CON-
mended him to the good graces Of his
country
