WHY PARKER DIDN'T SPEAK OUT
SOONER.

SOONER.
1t seems curious that there should
be need Of so much discussion of the
question of why Judge Parker didn't
announce his views on the gold stand
ard question sooner. The explanation
he gives is that he thought his views
on that subject were generally known.
And he was right in thinking that
they were known. Everybody who has
been reading the newspapers for the
last six months knows that they were
known. In his speech on the last
night Of the National Convention John
Sharp Williams, in his answer to Mr..
Bryan, who was trying to prevent an
agreement on the kind of an answer
the convention should make to Judge
Parker's message that he wanted the
convention to know where he stood in
reference to the gold question, said
that everybody knew that Judge Park
er was a gold standard man, and had
been nominated with the understand
ing that he was What then is the use
Of pretending that there were delegates
in the convention who voted for his
nomination in ignorance of his views
on the money question?
That Mr.. Bryan knew Judge Park
ers views in respect to the monetary
standard there isn't shadow of
doubt. 1t is true there was a dis
patch sent from st. Louis during the
deliberations of the Committee on Gre
dentials to the effect that, in answer to
a question by Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Hill had
said that he didn't know Judge Park
er's financial views, but in that mat
ter Mr.. Hill was misrepresented. He
didn't say he didn't know Judge
Parkers views in respect to gold. He
said that he had never talked with him
on financial matters. That doubtless
was true
The fact that Judge Parker's friends
vainly endeavored to get a gold plank
in the platform was proof that he was
a gold standard man. 1t was also an
announcement of his position in re-
spect to gold to Mr.. Bryan and all of
Mr.. Bryan's followers.
Mr.. Bryan now undertakes to say,
as will be seen from our dispatches
yesterday, that if Judge Parker had
announced his position on the gold
standard question before delegates to
the National Convention were elected
he would have got but few scattering
delegates in the South. What nom
sense! There's isn't an intelligent
Democrat in the South who didn't
standard man. The question whether
or not he voted for Mr.. Bryan in 1896
and 1900 involved that question. 1t was
persistently asserted that notwith-
standing the fact that he was not in
sympathy with Mr.. Bryan's views on
silver, he voted for him.
Did Mr.. Bryan think Judge Parker
was a silver standard man when, prior
to the meeting of the National Conven-
ton, he was attacking him, calling him
a tool of trusts and Wall street? OF
course he didn't. Mr.. Bryan knew he
was a gold standard man, and that
was the basis of his hostility to him.
If those Democrats unfriendly to the
nomination of Judge Parker were as
frank as he has proven himself to be,
the question as to whether or not his
position in respect to the gold standard
wouldn't ever have been raised, for
there was never any good reason for
raising it.

His Mothers Switch.

The judges mother, Mrs. Harriet
Straton Parker, lives at Derby. CT,
but spends the summer months at
Rosemont. She is of Puritan stock
and a firm believer in temperance and
humility.
Whenever she sees something printed
about her distinguished son she writes
him to beware of pride and urges him
not to become too fond of worldly
things.
She also lectures him frequently on
temperance, and the judge listens
gravely. He is very abstemious man,
once in a while indulging in a Scotch
highball at his dinner.
Mother is the best mother in the
world" he often says. Then, with an
amused twinkle, and she always used
the best and strongest switches"

"Goim' to the Inauguration"

Out at the general store at EsopVs
the village Wiseacres gather each night
to discuss the events of the day. On
every night save Friday, by the light
of very smelly oil lamp, they talk
Judge Parker. On that night they talk
something else, for Judge Parker in
variably is present.
To the simple minds of the villagers
Judge Parker is certain to be the next
President. 1t would be high treason,
lese majestic and horse theft to hold
otherwise. They all talk of when the
judge is down to Washington" and
they often refer to President Parker -
One of the shrewdest of the old
wiseacres is Uncle John" He is a tall,
angular farmer who wears a small
bunch of whiskers on the point of his
chin. His clothing is homespun, and
he wears huge felt boots. He is the
hottest Parker man in the country.
Reckon I'll go down to the 'naugu-
ration" he remarked.
Inauguration of whom?'' inquired
the writer.
"Humph! Who'd you think? Why,
the jedge, of course!'
Would the judge make a good
President, Uncle John?"
Why of course he will. Why, land S
sakes, he's got the finest bunch of
Herefords in the hull of York state
Will he make a good President?
Humphv'

WILL JUDGE PARKER RESIGN :

1t seems to be assumed that Judge
Parker will resign from the Court of
Appeals. There has been no authori-
tative announcement in connection
with the matter. There is no con-
stitutional or legal reason why he
should resign. There is just as much
reason why Mr.. Roosevelt should re-
sign as there is that he should. There
will be no votes cast directly for him.
The votes will be cast for electors.
Hence there would be no improperly
whatever In his remaining on the
bench. Indeed. some of his associates
on the bench have expressed the hope
that he will continue in the perfor-
ance of his judicial duties. 80
There is no doubt, however, that he
will resign. The understanding seems
to be that he will lay aside his judicial
robe in about two weeks. 1t will take
him that long to finish certain work
in connection with the court that he
feels he ought to do.
As a matter of fact he has made it
impossible for him to remain on the
bench, by saying he didn't think it
proper for a Judge to take part in the
discussion of political questions in pub
lie. He will have to discuss such
questions. Not only that, but he will
have to take pretty active part in
the campaign.
1t is stated that he will not make
trips about the country making
speeches as Mr.. Bryan did, but 1t is
probable that he will visit several of
the principal cities and address the
people. II he isn't an orator IL would
be better for him to cut out the
speech making. He can get spellbind-
ers to talk for him. There is a per-
centage of people in every community
who rate a mans ability by his ora
torical powers. 1t is probable that
Judge Parker can make what might be
called a good talk but II is doubtful
II he can make a speech that would
please and impress an audience such
as greets a speaker in a political cam
paign.

MIR. RRyAN,s TNTERyIEw.

The interview which Mr.. Bryan gave
out at Lincoln, Neb., on Tuesday, is
calculated to create the impression that
it would give him more satisfaction to
have his party beaten in the presiden-
tial contest than victorious. If he
were anxious for victory he wouldn't
have laid such stress on his dissatis-
faction with portions of the platform.
and he wouldn't have announced his
purpose to begin Immediately after the
election the work of converting the
party to his views on public questions.
He would have said that though he
was beaten in the convention, and
though the platform was not just
what he would have it, he was going
to take off his coat and go to work
for the ticket.
1t may be true that he has as an
excuse for the course he is pursuing
the action of the gold Democrats in
1896 and 1900, but that isn't an excuse
that will be accepted in his case. He
went into the National Convention,
helped to make the platform and
DIOTliStu u NOle the llthtl. we 40
not recall any gold Democrat who. hav-
ing played a part in the conventions
of 1896 and 1900. maintained an at
titude that seemed to indicate that
the defeat of the party would give
them more satisfaction than it's sue
cess would.
Perhaps Mr.. Bryan thinks If the
l1F1 L.
would find it easier to reorganize it
on the basis of his own political ideas
in 1908 than he would if 1t should
be victorious. There is no doubt. of
course, that if the party should elect
its ticket this year it would be i'm
possible for Mr.. Bryan to get it to re-
turn to Organism. Therefore defeat
would seem to be i'm harmony with
Mr. Bryan's programme.
We dislike to believe that he hopes
for his Party's defeat this year. 1t
will be known, however, soon after
the campaign begins, what his wish I'm
the matter is. 1t is stated in some
of the dispatches that he is to do cam
paign work in Missouri and there is
no doubt that he will be frank in the
discussion of public questions in his
weekly paper. II win become apparent
from what he says in his speeches and
his newspaper whether or not he wishes
Judge Parker to win.
II the tone of his paper and his
speeches is like that of his interview
he will do the cause OF his party no
good. He can, however do his party
great service if he will confne himself
to the discussion Of Rooseveltism.

eating the drift of public opinion.

New York who were willing to bet S

When the conventions work had been
completed, the odds had dropped to S

Is Rivaled by Human Hair Where
Dandruff Is Eradicated.

Sealskin is admired the world over
for its softness and glossiness; and yet
the human hair is equally as soft and
glossy when healthy; and the radical
cause of all hair trouble is dandruff,
which is caused by a pestiferous para
site that saps the vitality of the hair
at its root. Newbro's Herpicide is the
only preparation that is fatal to the
dandruft germ. Without dandruff
there is no falling hair, but luxuri
ant growth of glossy, soft hair is GER

dandruff. Kill the dandruff germ.
