crowded with people who cheered the

The procession Of the Parker party.
Including the escorts of marching
clubs, bands, committees of citizens i'm
carriages. and those in charge of the
arrangements for the candidates re-
ception, enjoyed an unimpeded passage
10 the armory. but there they found
the capacity Of the building overtaxed.
After several attempts to gain an en-
trance by the main door. a gateway
was found beneath the stage.
Phenomenal Demonstration.
Upon the appearance of Judge Par
ker on the platform at 1903 O'Clock the
demonstration was phenomenal. The
applause came from every part Of the
armOry and the volume of sound was
deafening. Flags were waved, chairs

and all contributed their full share to
the enthusiasm.
After exactly twenty minutes Judge
Parker took a hand in queIIing the en-
lhusiasm. one minute later he ad-
dressed the chairman. In an instant
the armory was converted from tumult

Powerful Address.
Judge Parker's voice was rather
stronger than usual 1t penetrated the
furthermost sections OF the armory.

10y which the United States was peo-
pied, beginning with Il narrow fringe
along the Atlantic coast, and spread
ing steadily across the continent speak
ing the same language and possessing
the same ideals.
IL is this expansion" said Judge
Parker. natural, inevitable, almost as
silent as the tides Of the ocean. which
has made the country what il is ard
in the society that has come Of this
varied effort the words 'empire' and
subject have become meaningless and
obsolete.
Picture Not Pleasant
Turning for a moment from this pic
ture TO that which sets before us the
process Of expansion even in the great
countries OF Europe and we find an en-
tirely different ideal. There il has been
dueror. the ambition of the soldier and
the rapacity OF the tax collector.
1T has gone on. not over virgin
lands, but among crowded populations.
il has put millions Of people under the
elbow Of the conqueror and has incul-
Gated among those at home the idea
that these great masses have been
brought into the world to serve a dis
tant master whom they would meyer
see or TO provide business or pleasure
or profit for a conquering race.
Race For Conquest.
Il has promoted the growth OF ma
vies. useless and unnecessary for their
purpose Of protecting commerce, and
armies which quarter on the conquered
lands have been paid by revenues
drawn from scanty or decaying indus
tries. Even in these days Of arbitration
and peace conferences the rage for
conquest, national rivalries and the fear
that one might obtain an advantage
over another have made consumption
almost universal over the whole CONT
nent of Europe. They have divided un-
known continents into prOtectorates or
spheres OF influence which thus far
have been almost useless 10 the hold
ers and harmful to the natives
1T is that kind OF expansion upon
which we are invited TO look with IA
for. We are asked TO turn from our I
own mighty but peaceful triUmphs. /
from the spectacle OF a continent set
tied by a homogeneous people attached
TO liberty. fitted TO govern themselves, I
in order that We may enter upon the !
Of a policy which must in /
evitably end in the adoption Of the
