Thursday Evening,

the campaign of 1908 by declaring in
advance that no trust contributions
would be received; that is to say,
no check from any corporation must be
received, which is decidedly new
policy to propose to the democracy.
Bryan talks with undisguised salts
faction over the defeat of Parker. He
never had any sympathy with him, and,
shortly before. the st. Louis conven-
ton, spoke of him as Gan artful
dodger," and unworthy of considera-
ton. When Parker was nominated, he
declared that the nomination "was Sc
cured by corrupt and indefensible
methodist and, while making speeches
for Parker, he was whooping up his old
free-silver constituents, in Indiana and
elsewhere, to stand by him in his an
nounced work of organizing the cam
paign Of 1908 out Of material in the
party, for the purpose of bringing
afield the "radical and progressive ele-
ment of the democracy on a platform
which, according to his own admissions,
will unite the peculiar features of the
Watson populist platform and those Of
Mr.. Debs social democracy.

Better Things Coming.

It was a mighty narrow escape. But
Minneapolis will look a good deal bet
ter to the country at large today than
she would if David P. Jones had not
been elected mayor. In the narrow mars
gin we have not much upon which to
plume ourselves, but we are able to
show to the general public that the con-
ditions which have obtained in this city
during the past year are to be changed,
and that instead of maintaining sub
stantially that state of affairs which
Justified the selection of Minneapolis
as the first of the cities to be dealt
with in notable series of chapters on
municipal rottenness, we are to have a
firm, vigorous, commonsense administra-
tion of the law, and return to a state
of municipal cleanliness and decency
which will be of immense value to this
city in every way. The peculiar theory
Of some business men that it pays them
to get the earnings Of the wage-earncr
filtered thru the tills of the saloon and
the hands of vice rather than thru the
family of the Garner is not only an I'm.
worthy one but financially unsound.

A Composite Study Of MatrImony by
Anthony Hope.-The author Of ''The Pris-
oner lof Zenda" has made a headlong
plunge or a daring fight, according to
the point of view, in Double Harness, his
latest book From writing tales of ro-
nance and chivalry in imaginary lands
he has turned to realism-seamy realism,
at that. Double Harness is study
Of matrimoly, with half-dozen types on
the tables for the surgeons clinic, and
two or three cases Of single unblessed-
ness to intensity the impression The types
are taken from the average of the Brit
ish well-to-do. There are Grantley Ina
son and his wife, who are the center of
interest. Grantley is wealthy, dispassion-
ate, self-centered but not unkind, and
| level-headed. His wife is q woman Of
ideals. and, while she has the admiration
Of her husband, she fails to get into that
close sympathy which was one Of her
ideals. Then there are the Raymores,
with their very steady and affectionate
friendship; the Fanshaws he given to
! the stock exchange and she, despite a
past, to society. both to good living: the
Selfords, gushing pair, Of artistic tastes
and frequent tiffs; the Courtlands, at

there are Caylesham, an old bachelor

Quite a handful of cases with which
to make the point: 1.-TWO good 'uns don't

Encouraging.
Torrance.

Tuesdays election results contain
much encouragement for the believer
in democracy and the American people,
The constant and insistent preaching Of
good citizenship and the duty of the
voter in recent years seems to be bear
ing fruit. Generally speaking the YER
dict rendered by the people at the polls
evidences careful consideration, sound
Judgment and freedom from dangerous
partizanship. Apparently, vast num-
bers of voters have now come to look
upon themselves as persons charged
with a solemn duty in relation to the
government of the republic. They no
longer take some boss s or machine IS
word for it, but do their voting accord
ing to their own thinking.
y How vastly better such method is
than the old one Of voting in herds ac-
cording to the party label. In former
times we could hardly have expected to
see President Roosevelt elected, as he
deserved to be, with Folk winning in
Missouri, La Toilette in Wisconsin, and
johnson in Minnesota, as they deserved
to win. Utterly oblivious to the party
fanfaronade and the exhortations to
vote the straight ticket, the people in
Missouri have expressed their approval
of the great enemy of public corrup-
tion; the people in Wisconsin have en-
phatically sustained the man who has
been SO courageously fighting for years
to restore popular government in that
state; the people of Minnesota have
effectively expressed their indignation
with a state party that has seen fit to
give the stamp Of it's approval to no
toriously unfair political methods, and
to conspicuously unfit candidate.

A Republican Asset.

- A year ago when the availability of
certain men as candidates for the office
of president began to be discussed in
republican circles, and when there
were several under consideration be-
sides the president himself, r h e Jour
n a contendcd that Mr.. Roosevelt was
the strongest man before the people
whom the republicans could name, and
described him as ''the most valuable
asset Of the republican partly upon
which it could hope to realize results at
the polls. In other words, it was not so
much the history of the party, the
record of it's distinguished men, its atti-
tude toward public questions upon
which it could safely rely in the com
ing contest, as upon the character and
personal popularity of the president.
The result of the late election demon
strates the correctness Of that Judgment.
Mr.. Roosevelt has run ahead of his
ticket everywhere. He has received
the largest popular majority ever Civ
en- to president, and perhaps the
largest relatively during the last fifty
years. He has even broken into the
solid south both in the east and in the
west, carrying Maryland and Missouri,
and almost paralleling the overwhelming
defeat Of Greeley by Grant in 1872. All
things considered, it is more notable
victory than that obtained by General
Grant in his second campaign. The
demGoratic Marty woo II, u,orco ,,Iicrht in
1872 than in 1904. So demoralized was
it that it was obliged to take up dis
gruntled republican for it's candidate
and stake it's chances for success upon
his personal following. Parker gets
more electoral votes, but Parker is a
united as to it's leadership, if not as to
it's rank and file. Mr.. Roosevelt had
much more formidable antagonist
than Horace Greeley ever seemedto be.
And yet, Mr.. Roosevelt's majority is 50
overwhelmingly the popular approval of
the; president, has so far gone beyond
/ the ranks of the republican party, that
hit is in the nature of. personal
triumph. Party principles, questions
of national policy, the best interests OF
business, and the country generally, I'm
questionably cut large figure, but be-
You'd them all is the tribute which the
American heart pays TO the vigorous
robust embodiment Of honesty, courage
industry, ability and sincerity embodied
in the person Of Theodore Roosevelt
first citizen Of the republic, and accepta
bic type of the true American.

Parker and Bryan on the Result.

The statements issued by Judge Par
ker and Colonel William J. Bryan are
interesting because they fatty contra
diet each other as to the leading causes
of defeat.
Judge Parker has had enough Of
presidential campaigning. He declares
that he will never again seek public
office, and only became a candidate
from stern sense of duty. He asserts
that the democracy mission is to fight
the tariff fad, trusts and illegal COM
binations,'' and relieve the people of
ga party which has grown so corrupt
that it will gladly enter into partner
ship with trusts to secure money for
election purposes. He would have
us believe that his innocent lamb of
a,partv was defeated by an overwhelm
ing number Of corruptly obtained votes.
j iii other words, he does not recede
from his closing-campaign indiscretion
of charging the president with organ
ling and pushing a Matchmaking con-
4 spiracy to squeeze campaign money out
of the trusts.
Colonel Bryan's statement is of the
eI-told-you- kind. He finds that
Judge Parker was "the victim of un-
favorable conditions and of mistaken
party policy which, he plainly says,
was it's 'catering to organized and
predatory wealth. and attempting to

and financial despots, who are gradual
