LFrom the New York Sun. J

[From the New York Sun.l
Judge Parker asserts that "a free
people cannot withhold freedom from
another people and themselves be
free" This is a fine, metallic, epigram-
matte sound. What is the sense of it?
1t is only a play of words. only a
juggling with an underlined meaning
Of free" and freedom"
In the sense of full political and civil
rights the Indians have not been free.
Alaska is not free. The negroes in
most southern states are not free.
To tell the truth, this sentence in
Judge Parker's letter is great non
sense. 1t must have been stuck in at
the solicitation of some mugwump sen
timentalist who believes that the Unit
ed States is going to lose its liberties
because the MOrOs have not yet been
taken by the neck and made to adopt
and appreciate jury trial and because
the head hunters are not yet subject
to the poll tax.

the old American habits of thought
and ways of living. Conditions have
changed in the country far less than
they have changed in the cities and
In consequence there has been little
breaking away from Cthe methods of
life which have produced the great ma
jOrity of the leaders of the republic i'm

tdents nave been brought up in the
country, and most of them worked
hard on the farms in their youth and
got their early mental training in the
healthy democracy of farm life
Roosevelt at Bangor, Me, Aug. 27, 1902.
The cOuntryman, the man on the
farm, more than any other of our cit
liens today, is called upon continually
to exercise the qualities which we like
to think of as typical of the United
States throughout its history, the quail
ties of rugged independence. masterful
resolution and individual energy and
resourcefulness. He works hard-for
which no man is to be pitied-and of
ten he lives hard-which may not he
pleasant-but his life is passed in
healthy surroundings, surroundings
which tend to develop fine type of
citizenship. In the country, moreover.
the conditions are fortunately such as
to allow closer touch between man
and man than too often we find to he
the case in the city. Men feel more
vividly the underlying sense of broth
erhood, of community of interest

Anti-imperiaIist Fashions.

[From the New York Tribunel
Mr.. Dooley remarked a few days
ago. "Th' attic of ivry Dimmycrats
house is filled with OIL policies that he
wanst used-pOlicies that have faded
or punctured a tire or broke a main
spring or been run over be band
wagon" Anybody who goes into the
Democratic garret and seeks the cor
ner where the castoff garments of anti
imperialism have been thrown with
the successive changes of fashion will
certainly confess that Mr.. Dooley in
this respect understands the Democra.
cy. For five years now the Democracy
has been denouncing imperialism" and
this year it again appears In that role,
with the so called anti-imperialists pro-
claiming it the only hope of human lib
erty. Yet the fashion of its antrim
perialism has changed 50 often and SO
completely that it would hardly know
itself if it rugged up in its former cos
tunes for the part.

"POLITICAL OLIGARCHY."
Some Facts About voters Rights In
Virginia.

SOme FaCts AbOUt Voters Rights In
Virginia.
Something like a hundred years ago
Thomas Jefferson protested against
the new constitution of Virginia be-
cause it gave more power to 10000
voters in tie plantation region of the
east than to 10000 in the nonslave-
holding western part of the state
Hence, he claimed. the state would be
really ruled by an olgarchy. Let us
see whether this is true now. In the
Third district, one Of the old slave
holding districts, are included the cities
of Richmond and Manchester, and one
in tWenty-eight of the population votes.
In the Fourth district. another of those
with Il large eX-Slave population, a
total vote of 6,34l was cast in pOpu-
latiOn of 1G6.321-one in twenty
the winning candidate receiving 5,717
votes, or about tVe-siXths of the whole.
In the Ninth district, including some
of the western counties. about whose
rights Jefferson was solicitOus. a total
vote of PHO was cast in a population
of 221,3S1-about one vote in seven.
The Republican candidate received
1864 votes, and his opponent 13,47G,
more than twice as many votes as
were required to elect a Democrat in
the Fourth district while the total
vote is four times as great as that in
the Fourth district and the pOpula-
tiOn only about 10000 greater. Sixty
thousand more people and four times
as many votes required to elect a rep
resentative! And Jefferson called it
political Oligarchy when 10000 voters
had more power than 10000. And
Judge Parker does not desire that JUS
tice shall wait on political ollgarchy!'
