of the member would be necessary.

A FOREIGN OPINION.

Labouchere Compares Judge Parker
and President Roosevelt.
The American Democrats have found
q man in Judge Parker, and sincerely
trust that he will be elected president
of the United States. He knows his
own mind, is no self seeker and as
pires alone to be what the greatest
American presidents have been in the
pasta citizen elected to the highest
Office Of the state to give effect to the
self government of nation.
President Roosevelt is IN honest
man, but very self opinionated, and his
present term of Office has shown that
he is under the impression that his
mission is to impose his will on others,
instead of carrying out their will. Not
only in the United States. but in the
rest Of the world, is he DESTROYS Of
playing a great part, and the part that
he has aspired to play has been en-
tirely at variance with the spirit Of
American institutions. What especial
~ pleascs me in Judge Parker's pro-
nouncements is the denunciation of the
spread eagleism that has been Presi-
dent Roosevelt's trump card up till
now and which is more befitting some
military ruler of nation than the
head of a peace loving and commercial
community Of sensible men.-Labou-
chere's London Truth.

A FRIEND OF LABOR.
Judge Pnrker's Attitude Toward Un-
ions Commended.

Judge pnrker's Attitude Toward I'm
ions Commended.
The New York World says that Judge
Parker's decisions as chief justice of
the court of appeals upon questions af-
fecting labor unions and the rights of
individual wage earncrs were COM
mended in resolutions adopted by the
Workingnen's Political league at q
meeting held in that city recently. says
the Indianapolis Sentinel. This organi-
cation is an incorporated state body
of representative union men.
The resolutions express the warn,
approval and appreciation of organized
labor of Judge Parker's attitude to-
ward union labor and declare that
during his judicial life he never struck
a blow at labor. but has parted many
aimed by others and has made the
strongest argument ever set forth in
support of labor statutes" All Of
which is beyond question. Judge Par.
ker has always been absolutely just
and fair in his treatment of all inter
ests. That is what makes him such a
splendid candidate. The same quality
will make him splendid president
also

Roa.exelt q Peril.

In the course Of his address before
the Connecticut Democratic convcn-
ton Henry Wade Rogers, dean Of the
Yale Law school, had the following to
say about Roosevelt:
"since he became president he has
shown not only by his treatment OF
Panama and by his action in the pen
sion matter as well us by his dictate
rial assumption of authority in every
department of the government such a
disregard Of the limitations of power
as to lead many thoughtful men to dis
trust his wisdom. 1t is this distrust
which perhaps more than any other
reason has led the Independent press
Of the country almost without excep-
ton to pronounce against him in this
campaign and to regard him as "a dan
gerous pilot for great ship"

PITH AND POINT.

AS you become older. accustom your
self to neglect.
In promises for the future your
friends are all good to you.
Listen sister: if you marry money or
q title. that is all you ought to expect
to get out Of it.
When n man is sick and thinks he
is going to die he is so badly scared
that he is not cross.
If you want to please the hostess
don't accept all the invitations extend
ed by the host and the children.
If a husband doesn't like to have his
wife save the old love letters he wrote
her let him write her new ones.
A man has many advantages over u
woman. A man can stop OH the street
and watch other men work and make
suggestions. but woman can't do 1t
without being talked about.-Atchison

the evening of the second day the cere-
mony is repeated. and on the third day
the voice Of the wife joins that of the
husband in thanksgiving. Also on the
third day Il limited number of relatives

the first head shave.
The looms of the home are decorated
for this occasion with green branches

Other concentrations in honor OF the
baby are long silk threads. bearing lit

and scarlet paper. These are festooned
from the walls and are hung from the
ceiling. A few feet away the threads

For the head shaving the guests are
seated in semicircie before the joss.
The mother is carried to Il seat of

q quaint ceremony by the father be-
fore the joss the tiny forehead Of the
baby is shaved by the mother and a
christening similar to that Of the
Christian religion-except that the
prayer is made to the ancestors and
the water used to sprinkle the baby is
perfumed with sandalwood-is a part
Of the ceremony.
The name by which the child is aft
erward known is also bestowed by the
mother. After the shaving Of the head

Of gold and Jewels and with q tiny
round hole in the top, is placed upon

The Senator. italian.

A prominent senator, who claims to
be rather more cultivated than some
of his colleagues, prides himself on his
knowledge of Italian. During Il recent
visit to New York he patronized q
street bootblacking stand and as he
got into the seat directed the bootblack
in his best Italian to make haste. as he
was trying to catch train.
The bootblack stared at the senator
for moment in apparent perplexity.

ROOSEVELT STANDS PAT.
Firmly Opposed TO Any Reduction Of
Present High Tari6s.

1t is evident that If elected in No
vember he IRooseve,tl will sustain
with unmeasured zeal the extreme
radicals of Dingieyism i'll opposing any
real reduction of the present high
tariff. So far from bending TO the ris-
ing storm Of popular demand for tariff
reform and the elimination of unncc-
essary and burdensomc restraints OF
trade, his argument is for perlsetua-
ton of the system by which unscrupa-
lous trusts are fostered.
So far from yielding to the clamor
within his own party for at least u
moderate reduction OF tariff taxation.
he tells the recalcitrant Republicans
of the west and the east. us he tells
the great Democratic reformers. 1T is
matter of regret that the protective
tariff policy, which during the last
forty years has become part of the
very fiber of the country, is not now
accepted as definitely established"
This mature utterance of Mr.. Roose-
welt can only mean that he ranges HIM
self with the stalwart enemies Of all
who would seek to lower taxation and
relieve manufacturers and consumers
generally of the barbarous enormities
and excrescences of protectionism
which has outgrown every decent
claim and has overridden the CONNER
cial rights and liberties of the people.
It is almost needless to note that, as
might have been expected from his
animadversions on tariff reform, Mr..
Roosevelt in few brief sentences i'll
Inmates Enthusiastically his approval Of
the utopian scheme by which it is
sought to upbuild the merchant marine
by ship subsidies.-New York Herald.

Long winded.

There have been many terms Of re-
proach and ridicule applied to inter-
minable and wearisome takers. but
here are two that seem to be particu-
larly pat:
One is the comment of a politician on
q Washington orator, HE has good
train of thought. but it lacks terminal
facilities"
The other comes from the village hui
m0rist, who said of the village orator,
"He's the only Teller ever knew who
could set his face talkin' an then GO
OF an leave it."
