PARKER'S SURE WARNING.
Personality of the New Yorker Fails
to Interest NoterA.

The weakness of the Democratic cause
is illustrated anew with every passing
day The presidential candidate is as
backboneless, as void of interest, as the
platform constructed by process of
elimination at st. Louis. process car
ried 50 far as to make the standing place
of a national party look like a frai float
ing raft, all stringers and no flooring.
The people never took to" Judge Par
ker. From the first they were unable to
get into sympathy with the judicial fig
ure-head erected by David Bennett Hill
to attract votes. AS the campaign pro-
crossed the candidates few and intellect
Gus utterances completely suodued any
rising tide of partisan zeal such as near
ly always carries the hosts OF a party
into something like an enthusiastic con-
test. How could anybody get up enthu-
siasm fer the bland, self-satished. manag
ing politician whose every utterance
shows the contracted sphere of his inter-
ests and influence?
Even the hope of rehablitating the
party aud getting it into line somewhere
near the advancing forces of the rest of
the world has not been able to enlist the
rank and file of the Democrats for Par
ker. There are armies of them who will
vote for Roosevelt, brigades, regiments
and squads of them who will vote for
Watson, for Debs. for any candidate but
Parker.
Hills candidate lacks all the elements
of popularity. He has not aroused the
Imagination of the people. He has not
compelled their respect, he has not arous-
ed their confidence. Asa young college
man said the other day, Parker has no
go in him!
On the other hand, the Republican can
didate is figure to draw to him every

All through the golden days OF Octo-

LAB0R'S BEST FRIEND.
Leader OF Coal Miners Praises Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

William Dodds, Secretary of District
No. 3, United Mine Workers Of America
and one Of the most prominent trade
unionists in the country, says President
Roosevelt is the best friend of labor there
has ever been in the White House. Mr..
Dodds recently returned from trip to
Europe with John Mitchell. In an inter
view in the Labor Word, OF Pittsburg.
Mr.. Dodds says:
II want 1t thoroughly understood that
no words can make my endorsement of
Theodore Roosevelt too strong To me
he is an ideal President for the laboring
man. In my way OF thinking this Coun-
try has never had a President who has
devoted as much attention and friendly
attention to trade unionism as President
Roosevelt has done. From his first en-
trance into public life he has been one Of
the ablest and sincerest friends organized
labor has had. Why, we couldn't have
had a man as the executive head of the
nation more useful to trade unionism
than Roosevelt. He has been eloquent
and fearless in his public advocacy of
the right OF wage workers to organize.
He has insisted that organized labor be
fairly dealt with and the greatest mill
anu IhoNt puWtTlul corporations
have not deferred him from this line OF
policy. We can never forget the part he
played in the anthracite strike. For that
alone trade unionsts should heartily sup
port him.
Judged by any test we may apply the
administration of President Roosevelt
has been emnently successful. Ine last
three years have been years of excep-
tonal prosperity. Business has been ac-
tive in the market places, Industry has
tlourished and the farmer has prospered
In an unusual degree. Prosperity has not
been confined to limited areas. but has
extended throughout the country. 1t has
not been restricted to few, but has
been enjoyed by the many"

DEMOCRATIC UNTRUTH.
Both Parker and Bryan Guilty of In
cxcusablc Falsificntiou

Ii seems that Judge Parker is not
more yeraci0us than ID. Il. 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, OOO,-
600. This sum is so far from the true
amount that it was expected the Demo-
cratic candidate would explain his error,
but 1t does not seem to be his policy to
make corrections Secretary of War
Taft, who has had more Ia do with the
government Of the Philippines than any
other man, waited nearly two months for
an explanation from Parker. but none
came. Finally, on Oct q. Mr.. Taft, in a
speech at indianapolis, showed the utter
falsity of Parker's statement pointing
out that the sum named was a gross ex-
aggeration. Instead of $3.50. 600. 900. as
stated by the Democratic candidate. the
cost of the Philippines to the United
States has been only $160. 900, besides
the S2O.On,OO0 paid to Spain, making
the total cost $1S9.0O0.0Oo Mr.. Taft
added that the cost a year for maintain
ing courts, and the additional cost of
maintaining 1900 troops in the philip-
pines instead of in the United States. All
taken together, do not exceed $4,000, 900
year.
Three weeks have passed since Sec
rotary Taft publicly called attention to
Parker's misstatement, but Parker has
remained silent, completely ignoring the
correction. Now comes w. ]. BRYAN.

DESIRE OF THE VOTERS.
Roosevelt Will Be Elected and Re
publican Policies Continued.

publican Policies Continued.
As election day draws near it becomes
more certain that the Republican party
is going to be continued in power by the
expressed desire of an immense majority
OF voters. The people had made up their
minds before the shouting and the hur-
raining of the campaign began. Recent
ly, under the questions of canvassing
committees from both great national par
ties, they have revealed their minds.
Every Republican will vote for Roose
welt no matter what local urbances
affect his ticket. Many who were Demo-
Gratis before 1896 will vote for Roosevelt
although. naturally, they say lite about
their intention, and very large lumber
of Independents have openly declared for
him.
The fact is that the Democratic party
has shown inability to manage the affairs
of the nation. Its weakness was so con-
spieuously displayed when it was last in
power that hosts of men became convinc-
ed that it no longer represented any
branch or contingent of the intelligent
people of the United States. The free
silver craze of 1896 and 1900 completed
the wreck of once idolzed party fetch
Thousands of oldtime Democrats. thou
sands of young men with Democratic
affiliations, deserted the ancient standard
and came into the life and vigor of Re
publicans. There they remain.
The election in November of this year
will show that the men who joined the
party of honest money in 1896 and in
1900 have resolved TO support the party
of honest money, of national prosperity,
OF sound. virile activity in the work of
international Improvements, of digni-
fed, strong foreign policy. of protection
to American citizens at home and abroad.
of equal opportunities and justice to all
without regard to race, color or relig-
ion.
1t will reveal the earnest devotion Of
hundreds of thousands of first voters to
the principles of Republicanism.
Inefiiciency, uncertainty, division in
council, these do not command the inter-
est and good will of the american peo-
pie. The little coteris under the wing of
David b. Hill in New York is going to
have a great object lesson IN the near
future.
The country is safe in the hands OF
the Republican party. Roosevelt and
Fairbanks are typical Republicans. Their
Endorsement. by an immense majority, is
certain.

PARKER REBUKED.
Democratic Newspapers Raps the
"BIatherskites" of its Party.

"BIatherskites" of lts Party.
The hardest slap yet administered TO
Parker was from the hand of an ultra
Democratic editor. There Is in the
Southland no more rabidIy Democratic
newspaper than the Memphis CONNER
cial Appeal, yet an editorial leader in
that paper reads:
Those distinguished blatherskites who
have been ablathering about Filipino in
dependence and corOlllry inanities claim
to be helping to elect Judge Parker.
Gov. Wright, who is on the ground
and who knows, informed this govern
ment that all these declarations were be-
ing translated and published in Tagal
newspapers and that they were having
deluding and deleterious effect on tho
natives.
Now comes the report that the old
agitators and professional patriots who
have been in enforced retirement and
whose henchmen are the head hunters
and bandits from the mountains, and the
bolo men from the bamboo Tickets in
the valley have come forth and purpose
holding public independence meetings in
Manila.
IF these fiery exhOrters arouse their
Half-tamed fellows TO disorder and rapine
by their perfervid utterances, and il the
task Of governing the islands Is rendered
more difficult and expensive, our home
bred Tagal-Americans will find that they
are supporting Judge Parker with a
knife.
This country is engaged in the solu-
ton of one Of the most difficult prob
lens that ever confronted a civilized peo-
pie and it is bending every energy to
solve 1t wisely. Every word uttered cal
culated to embarrass it will be resented
By the spirit Of the nation which stands
fortnight or wrong, our country"
In the Democratic platform and in
Parker's letter of acceptance will be
found that "ablathering about Filipino
independence and corollary inanities," of
which the Memphis Appeal complains.
Mr.. Parker emphasized his desire to
have it known that he demands the Civ
ing Of IN immediate promise of indepen-
dence to the Filpinos.

THE DEMOCRATIC MIXTURE
Amazing Spectacle Presented by a
Once Great Party.

Once Great Party.
The Democratic party, while engaged
In trying to lift itself into power by its
own bOot-straps, is an interesting and
amazing spectacle. Its contrasts, contra
dictions and compromises are pictur-
esque.
First, look at its leaders and their pc
culiarities. There is Parker, the neutral
in ideas and convictions, the active prac.
teal schemer. Then President Cleveland,
with his present pose Of conservatism
and time-flavored doctrines. A direct OPP
2osite is Tillman, the famboyant noun
tebamk, half savage, half clown. And,
to give variety, there is HILL the cold
selfish autocrat of the Empire State
Democracy, not a hair Of whose political
head is honest. Contrasting him is Bry-
an, the majestic talking machine, i'm
passioned, sanguine, and equally crafty
politician of the West. Then look at the
Tammany group Of tiger-cats, Sheehan,
Murphy and the rest. 1t is q ten-ringed
circus for dazzling displays Of contrasts.
One thought, one purpose alone, animates
this heterogeneous crowd: To get into
power
Back of them there are no principles,
nor even interests, upon which they are
agreed. Parker is Mr. Facing Both
Ways. Cleveland is a Mr.. Facing Back
ward. Tillman a sufferer from negro
phobia. Hill a believer in the gold stand
ard, and Bryan the apostle of free sill
yer. Sheehan and his kind are but devo-
tees Of Tammany. the most corrupt polit-
ical organization in the world
Can any man believe that these lead
ers, with the rank and file which fol-
lows them torn into still more factions,
can win a national election without n
single national issue to bring before the
people? What can be their fate at the
polls?
The whole mass OF retrospection, in
competency. dishonesty and weakness
known as Democracy is doomed to de-
served disappointment this fall. Slowly
recognizing, it must secure TO itself a
set of principles, something to live for,
something to work for before it can com
mand the allegiance of even one-fourth
OF the people of the United States.
