w. J. Bryan on Judge Parker

Norfolk Public Ledger: Mr.. VIM.
j. Bryan sneeringly observed, the
day following the action of the
Democratic primaries in New York
in naming Parker delegates to the
State Convention, that Judge
Parker represented an interroga-
ton point. That the voters of
New York, regardless of politics,
entertain a very different view of
the abilities of Judge Parker, is
shown by the support that they
have given him. When Judge
Parker was thirty-three years old
he was unanimously nominated
for the Supreme Court bench by
the Democrats. The Republicans
would not nominate an opponent
and not a vote was cast against
him. He served on the Supreme
Court bench until his election as
chief justice of the Court of
Appeals in 1897 by plurality OF
about sixty thousand votes. In
view of the strength that Judge
Parker has developed where he is
best known, it is. rather out of
place for Mr.. Bryan to be question
ing the capacity, in any direction,
of the man who is the choice of The
Democrats of New York for the
presidency.

Historic Oak Sap1ing

A historic oak sapiing will bt
planted in the White House
grounds at Washington mex,
Thursday. Secretary Hitchcock
will supply the tree and in con
nection told the president a pretty
story: Many years ago Charles
Sumner sent to the Gear OF Russia
some acorns from the stately oak
which overhangs the tomb OF
Washington at Mount Vernon
The Gear caused the acOrns to be
planted in the grounds OF the
Peterhof palace in st. Petersburg
One of the acorns grew into a
magnificent oak which yet stands
in the palace grounds. While in
St. Petersburg in 1893 as the
United States ambassador to
Russia, Mr.. Hitchcock collected a
handful of acorns from the historic
offspring of the Mount Vernon
oak and sent them to this country
and had them planted in Il e
grounds of his Missouri home.
Some of them developed into fine
saplings and it is one of them
that is to be planted in the White
House grounds. The ceremony
of the planting will be held at the
instance of President Roosevelt.

POLITICAL VIEWS
Mr.F1OOd Strongly FavOrs Rural
Free Delivery

A special dispatch from Wash
ington to the Richmond News
Leader, in discussing the political
situation OF the National Capital,
of special interest to Virginians,
says:
Representative Flood recently
made speech in the House thor
oughly exploding the claim of the
Republicans that they were the
originators of the rural free deliv-
cry system, and his speech has
been widely commented on by
members of Congress. There has
been half dozen similar speeches
delivered on the same subject by
Democrats but the Flood speech
has been pronounced the best OF
them all. He is one of the busiest
men in the House looking after the
interests of constituents among the
Departments, but when he does
take time off to make speech he
says something. And he said
something about free delivery.
His tribute to the farmer was one
of the best that has ever been
heard in Congress. As a Virgin
ian it is a pleasure for your cor
respondent to note that the Vir
ginia delegation is considered
above the average Of congressional
delegation. 1t is so pronounced
by the members of the press of
Washington. If there is a set Of
men anywhere who can size men
up at their true value it is the
newspaper men who represent the
newspapers of the country here.
When it comes to picking the best
men in the delegation Hay, Flood
and Swanson are nearly always
regarded as the strongest men in
the delegation.
The Presidential arrow is now
pointing strongly toward Parker.
German has passed word down
the line that Parker is the man,
and the fight is narrowed down
now to one between Parker and
Hearst. Hearst has fred off all
of his big guns at the opening Of
the campaign, and when he gets
where the fighting is in dead
earnest he will find himself in the
position of the army which has
wasted and exhausted its amuni-
ton at the beginning of the battle.

Valley Roads and Commission

The Richmond News-Leader OF
last Wednesday. in reporting the
meeting in that city of the officials
of the railroads assing through
the Valley, and members of the
Corporation Commission, says:
Officials of the Southern, the
Chesapeake and Ohio and the Bal
timore and Ohio railroads were in
conference with the Corporation
Commission today in relation to
sche dulles and connections in the
Valley, concluding the conference
begun about ten days ago. Each
road will submit a provisional
schedule making changes designed
to meet the situation about which
there is complaint. With these
three schedules the commits ion,
very likely, will be able to make
up one of its own that will be
satisfactory to the Valley people.
This is encouraging news to the
people Of Rockbridge.

ANIMALS AT SCHOOL.
Only an Unkept, Unconscious School
and One Entirely Instructive.

and One Entirely instructive.
Is there anything which, without
great violence to language, may b.
called a school of the woods? Ii
the sense in which playground il
a school-a playground without
rules or methods or a director
there is a school of the woods. 1t il
an unkept, an unconscious schoo
or gymnasium and is entirely in
stinctive. In play the young of al
animals no doubt get certain
amount of training and disciplinine
that helps fit them for their future
careers, but this school is not pre-
sided over or directed by parents
though it is sometimes taken part in
by them. 1t is spontaneous and
haphazard, without rule or system,
but is in every case along the line
of the future struggle for life of the
particular bird or animal. A young
marsh hawk which we reared used
to play at striking leaves or bits OF
bark with its talons, kittens play
with ball or a cob or a stick as II
it were mouse, dogs race and wres-
tie with each other as in the chase,
ducks dive and sport in the water,
doves circle and dive in the air as if
escaping from hawk, birds pursue
and dodge each other in the same
way, bears wrestle and box, chick
ems have mimic battles, colts run
and leap, fawns probably do the
same thing, squirrels play some
thing like game of tag in the trees,
lambs butt one another and skip
about the rocks, and so on.
In fact, nearly all play, including
much of that of man, takes the form
of mock battle and is to that extent
an education for the future. Among
the carnivora it takes also the form
of the chase. Its spring and mo-
tive are, of course, pleasure and not
education, herein again revealing
the cunning of nature-the power
that conceals purposes of its own in
our most thoughtless acts. The cat
and the kitten play with the live
mouse not to indulge the sense of
cruelty, as some have supposed, but
to indulge in the pleasure of the
chase and of capture and uncon-
sciously to practice this feat. The
cat rarely plays with live bird,
because the recapture would be more
difficult and might fail. What fish
ermen would not like to capture his
big fish over and over again if he
could be sure of doing it, not from
cruelty, but for the pleasure of prac-
ticing his art?John Burroughs in
Century.
