DEMOCRATIC UNTRUTH
Both Parker and Bryan Guilty Of Inex-
cusable Justification.

Both Parker and Bryan Guilty Of mex
cusable Falsification.
It seems that Judge Parker is not
more veracious than D. B. Hill and
other truth-shaders of the Democratic
party. In his speech Of acceptance on
Aug. 10, Parker made the amazing
statement that the cost Of maintaining
American rule in the Philippines |
amounted to $3.50, 900. This sum is |
so far from the true amount that it |
was expected the Democratic nndi- |
date would explain hts error, but it |
corrections. Secretary Of War Taft,
who has had more to do with the gov
eminent of the Philippines than any
other man, waited nearly two months
for an explanation from Parker, but
none aasne Finally, on Oct, 6 Mr..
Taft, in a speech at Indianapolis,
showed the utter falsfty Of Parker's
statement, pointing out that the sum
named was gross exaggeration- In
stead of $3.50, 000, 900, as stated BY the
Democratic candidate, the cost Of the
Philippines to the United States has
been only $1e9, 900, 900, besides the So.
600 900 paid in Spain, making the to-
tai cost S9,OOO,OOO. Mr. Taft added
that the cost year for maintai ntng

year.
Three weeks have passed since Sec
retary Taft publicly called attention to
Parker's misstatement, but Parker has
remained silent, completely ignoring
the correction. Now comes w. ]. Bry-
an, who has been too busy trying to-
stFaddle Parker's gold telegram and 16i
to / to learn facts about anything, and
repeats the Parker statement. Bryan,
is talking anti-imperia lism, and, in try
ing to strengthen his arguments, is
telling the people that the Philippines
have cost $3.50, O00, 900 the same un-
truth uttered by Parker. If Parker
made mistake and was too cowardly
to correct It, it i'll becomes Bryan, who
has nothing to gain by lying. to ape
the New Yorker. ii.

dence that Democracy is conducting
campaign of misrepresentation and
deceit

How It Worked.

A Missouri editor announced that for
just one issue he would tell the truth.
Here are a few items from that issue:
John BONN, the LATEST merchant in
town, made a trip to Bellview yesterday.
John Doyle, our groceryman, is do
ing a poor business. His store is dirty,
dusty and VIGOROUSLY odoriferous. lie
cannot expect to do much.
Rev. Styz preached Sunday night on
charity. The sermon was punk. If
the reverend gentleman would live up
q little closer to what he breaches he'd
have bigger congregations.
Dave Sonkey died at his home in this
plaza last Saturday. The doctor gave
it out as heart failure. The fact is that
he was drunk, and whisky is what
killed him. His home was q rented
shack in Roudy street.
Married-Miss Sylvia Rhoden and
! James Canadian, last Saturday evening
at the Baptist parsonage. The bride is
a very ordinary town girl, who doesn't
know any more about cooking than a
rabbit and never helped her mother
three days in her life. She is not n
beauty by any means and has a gait like
a fat duck. The groom is we'll known
here as an up-to-date loafer. He has
been living off his folks all his life aud
don't amount TO shucks. They will
have a hard life while they live togeth-
err and the News has no congratulations
to offer, for we don't believe any good
can come OF such a union.
The issue in which he told the truth
was the last one for that editor. Now,
in the morn, when the dew diamonds
sparkle and the sweet-throated birds
make melody, the subscribers to that
paper, while it was published, drive out
into the country a short way and gaze
meditatively upon a piece OF tanned
skin hanging on a barbed wire fence.
1t is all that remains of the once manly
form of the editor who told the truth
for n week"

Imperialism"

Talk about Imperialism bores us.
The subject is important, no doubt, but
lie talk lacks interest. This may be
iamentable, but it Is true. A discus
sion about the exact degree of freedom
TO be given to the Filipinos in a given
space of time is 10 the average Ameri.
ean mind about as exciting as a dispute
on SPinoza's theory OF existence. 1t is
100 much like a scholastic exercise.
They DO not agree with Professor James
and other eminent thinkers, that a per-
son who knows nothing about the
Philippines IS better qualified to select
the principles Of their government
than Mr.. Taft or any one else who
knows, The people believe that MIR.
Taft and others who agree with bin are
honest, liberal and well informed. and
they listen to them, rather than to
others who merely preach a well-worn
5rrmon used frequently to fit anything,
from the Panama Canal to the election
avs in Southern states. They know
that our Revolution was not fought to

Jefferson, or even Of Patrick Henry

THE TUSCALOOSA ELECTION
Result Was in Doubt Until Last Boz
 Was In.

Tuscaloosa, Feb. H.-(special. .)--The election held here Tuesday was by far the most interesting in the history of Tuscaloosa County. From the time the returns began coming in until late yes- terdav afternoon, when the last box came in, there was no certainty who would win the race. First Colonel Brandon would have a small lead then Judge Brown, until the last beat gave Judge Brown a plurality of thirty. The returns were received with much good feeling by both sides. Colonel Brandon, J. Steve Yerby Judge Brown, Superintendent of Educa- tion Hughes. Circuit Clerk Cooper. Eoli- citor Werner, Justices Carson and Mo- Eachin and Fleetwood Rice all made splendid short speeches at the request of the large crowds of citizens of the city and county who had assembled at the court house.
 The city has been without incandescent lights for the past two nights, which is due to the fact that great deal of new machienry is being added to the plant. It is thought that the machines will be placed by tomorrow night.
