NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT.
An "Eveninz Post" Opinion of Judge
Parker.

New York Evening Post, July ], 1903
We presume that Judge Parker's greet
ings in Georgia as "our next President"
will not ruftie his judicial calm. Like
the rest of us, he has seen too many next
Presidents a year before election.
They usually swarm like gra%sshoppers
in July before the nominating conven-
ton. But the Judge will be subjected
in his Georgia address to a pretty sharp
test of his fitness for President, next
time or ever. Will he have the courage
to speak a direct and wholesome word
to the people Of the South on the question
which is rapidly becoming the leading ma
tional issue?
We mean, Of course, the whole matter
of abridged suffrage, denied citizenship,
refusal Of equal treatment before the
law, and the recrudescence Of slavery. as
affecting our negro population. The
Southern papers are full Of it, and de-
handing that the South be "let alone
in it's challenge of human rights and dis
regard of the constitution. Edward NJ.
Shepard told the people of New Orleans
that the South ought to be left to go it's
own way. But can a man named as
''our next President" agree to such a
local notification OF national laws? II
he can, he is not fit to be President next
ear or any year.

WHY ALL'S WELL IN KANSAS.
1t Is Because of Sound Money and the
Protective Policy.

Few people realize how or why the
condition Of Kansas is watched with
such solicitude throughout the country
especially in the Western States.
The fact is indisputable that there is
something about it's climate. the mer-
curial disposition Of its people and the
conditions of life in Kansas that make
it a sort Of barometer for the rest of the
republic. When there is anything seri-
Gus the matter with Kansas it is GER
tain that all is not exactly right with
her neighbors. When there is a drouth
in Kansas there is apt to be a mighty
thirst in all the region west of the Mis-
sissippi. When the rains and sunshine
bless Kansas with bountiful harvests
and the cyclone and grasshopper give her
a wide berth, the fairness is apt to extend
beyond her borders and fill the land with
reason for rejoicings and content.
When Providence frowns on Kansas
the heart of the nation is usually sorrow
full for her-and for itself.
When Providence smiles on Kansas
the rest of US generally bid au revoir to
melancholy.
Therefore Senator Fairbanks did we'll.
in opening the Republican campaign at
"AA@A AA0AA', oCpCs i u cIulIlu HIS du-
ditors of the change that had come over
their prospects since the days when the
whole land rang with the cry, Whats
the matter with KansasY" Happily he
was able to proclaim, il not from the
house tops, at least to the telegraph op-
orators for dissemination throughout the
nation, that "AlFs well in Kansas"
Swiftly he drew the picture of the con-
ditlons as they existed eight years ago:
kansas was suffering from the effects
of Democratic administration. The in
terests OF her agriculture languished. Her
crops rotted in the field or were market
ed at u~nremunerated prices" And much
more to the same effect. Then he point
ed to the prosperity OF the present, with
out need to recapitulate the blessings
that good crops, good prices, good govern
ment and sound money showered upon
Kansas as from IN exhaustless urn.
During the last seven years." he said"
no one has shared the prosperity which
mas come to the country in a fuller de-
gree than the farmers of Kansas" And
ne illustrated the prosperity Of the State
Dy the increase in her bank deposits
from $S3.OOO,OO0 in 1895 to over $780,
100000 in 1903" As a matter OF exact
record 1t might be well to say that the
bank deposits in Kansas increased from
$3O,529,487 in 1895 to $84, O55, ITO. or
$50 per cent, while those of the whole
country increased from 1921, 82S, 339 to
$54O,649. 702, or slightly under 1874 per
cent.
Would the reader know how all this
wonderful prosperity came to Kansas?
1t was through her own industry stimu-
lated and protected by the sound econ
omic and monetary policies Of the Re
publican party.
In 1896 corr on the farms OF Kansas

PLAIN ENGLISH.
IT Comes from Oyster Raw and ADplfsa
to the New York World.

Sept. i. according to a newspaper dis
patch Of that date, Secretary Loeb gave
out a typewriter statement denying a
story printed in the New York World
to the effect to J. Pierpont Morgan has
recently held conferences with Mr..
Roosevelt concerning the campaign. II
is as follows:
The story in the World about the VISIT Of
Mf. Morgan to the President at Oyster Bay
is a lie from beginning to end. Neither
Mr.. Morgan nor the New York Representa-
tive of Mr.. Morgan has seen the President
or communicated with him directly or indf.
rectly at oyster Bay or anywhere else. Al
knows, Mr.. Morgan has been nowhere near
Oyster Bay In a yacht or otherwise.
One paper upon the unusual
use of the word "lie" in statements given
ont by the President. There are times
when only one word in the English lam
guage will serve, and President Roose-
welt is an authority ON English. There
is only one word to fifty and accurately
characterize certain statements-such
statements as That Of The World which
the President was contradicting.
A lie, according to Webster, il -
criminal falsehood: A FALSEHOOD
UTTERED FOR PURPOSES OF DE-
CEPTION; AN INTENTIONAL vIO-
LATTON OF TRUTH"
The Century Dictionary thus defines
the word:
"Lie-1, A FALSE STATEMENT
MADE WITH THE PURPOSE or
DECElVING! an intentional untruth: Z
falsehood; the utterance by speech o.
act of that which is false WITH IN
TENT TO MISLEAD OR DELUDN.
2. THAT WHICH is INTENDED Oh
SERVES TO DECEIVE OR MIS-
LEAD; ANYTHING DESIGNED OR
ADAPTED TO PRODUCE FAIA0
CONCLUSIONS OR EXPNCTA-
TIONS."
There can be no doubt that the PRED
dent used exactly the right word.
1t would be like carrying Goals to New
castle to explain to our friends the Dem
ocrats the meaning and inner cussednsse
of the word 'lie." Past grand masters
in the art, they need no definitions o.
fine drawn distinctions. But Repuhla-
cans and independents are not 20 weH
up in this branch Of human activity. ana
50 1t is well. perhaps, to call their att9n-
ton to the latest proper and desirabie
use Of the small English monosyllahla
which il just now under discussion.

ment Of Agriculture, Il brought SO cents

or exactly double as much.
In 1895 the price Of wheat on The Kan
sas farm was 81 cents per hushel; last
year, according to the same authority.
it was Il cents.
In 1895 the price Of oats on the Kan
sas farm was Il ents; last year Il was
So@a case where SO cents was a Joke
which the kansan appreciated clear
to his boots.
During this period freight rates on
wheat per 100 pounds from Atchison.
nan, to Chicago were reduced from "a
to - cents. and on rye. barley, corn and
oats from 20 to rs cents.
In 1855 the revenue Of the railways
per passenger per nile in the territory Of
which Kansas is the center was 221I
cents; in 1902 it had fallen 70 2.23G
cents. In the same period the ralroad
revenue from freigh, in the same terri
tory had fallen from 1.1G1 cents per ton
per mile 10 O.H1S cents.
There are good times in Kansas be-
cause OF good government. good crops.
good prices. increasing manufactures and
declining rates for Transporting the fruits
OF all kinds of industry To the markets
Of The world; and when there are good
times IN Kansas there is little occasion
for discomfort throughout the rest Of the
Union.

UNLIKE DEMOCRATS
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF
REPUBLICANS NEVER SHADY.
Sale OF Philippine Bcnds to a Western
Bank, the HiKhe.t Bidder De-
cratic Deal with the Belmont
Syndicate Riddled.

The fourth installment OF the $4,000
coo Of Philippine bonds was taken at
1O1.41 by the Western National Bank
of Oklahoma City. whose bid for the
bonds was the highest. The fact that a
western bank should outbid leading insti-
tutions OF Wall street for these bonds
suggests how the West is rapidly gaining
in financial power and Importance. No
western bank would have dared TO bid
for such a large issue Of bonds without
being perfectly satisfied that il could ind
q broad market for them amongst local
1nvestors. The old financial problem Of
the West was TO get money from the
East. The present problem. of the West
is TO find good channels for the invest
ment of its own money.
BY a transaction such as this we find
investors in the Southwest become cred
itors OF the Philippine Islands. In other
words, they are ioanlng some of the
fruits OF their own prosperity under Re
publican rule to help along the prosperity
of our nations wards in the Philippines.
The security which United States gov
eminent over the Philippines gives to
ilVeS ana property. trade and industry,
makes the credit Of the islands good. SO
that investors are quite willing 70 pay a
premium for Philippine bonds. If the
United States government were not SOW
ereisn over the Philippines. il is a qnes-
ton whether the islands would be able
To float bonds even at a discount. hence
many needed Improvements for the isl
ands could not be carried ont. Were
the Democratic party to be successful
IN the election this fail, the owners OF
Philippine bonds would doubtless see a
quick slump IN their market value.
Notorious De- Deal.
1t is the Republican policy in the case
Of necessary issues Of bonds. like the wal
loan Of 1895 and this Philippine bond
issue, to sell the bonds by popular sub
scription or by public competitive bid
ding for them. This gives the whole peo-
pie an equal chance, and all sections Of
the country an equal chance. TO secure
them for Investment and to realize what

David B. Hill stated, in one Of his
speeches, that Mr.. Roosevelt, on taking
the oath Of office after the death OF
President Mckinley, said that he would
not be a candidate for President in 1904.
President Roosevelt has never made a
promise as to his own personal action
which he did not redeem. The President
is ~outspoken, fair and square. These
are characteristics of the man. He
makes no promises he does not intend to
keep, and he keeps such as he makes.
The silly story started by Hill had no
foundation in fact, and it is really not
worth the ink and paper that has been
used in denying it, except that it once
more marks the character Of Hill.
