Beware of Jersey Democrats

There is not a delegate capable OF
going to the st. Louis convention with
out a keeper who cannot see by this
time that the nomination of Judge
Parker is the one thing that is most
dreaded by the Republican leaders. In
fact, the only serious opposition to
Judge Parker's nomination comes from
the Republican organs and politicians.
1t will not do to give too much weight
to rumors Of the movements of Senator
German and ex-senator James Smith
Jr., of New Jersey, every time they
happen to visit New York. These
Democratic politicians, wheF have not
gained a reputation for sagacity for
nothing, have no notion of committing
hara -kiri merely to accommodate the

HARD TO PLEASE

our eStlnaDle brethren OF the Re-
publican press are still clamoring for
speech from Judge Parker. They are af-
fected almost to tears by his persistent
silence. What. they exclaim can we ex-
pect from a candidate for president of
the United States who will not talk to
his fellowmen and expound at length
his views of public affairs?
These gentlemen are exceedingly
difficult to please. 1t is not long since
Mr.. Bryan was the recognized head of
the Democratic party, and the one COM
plant of these same journals was of
his loquacity. You would find him
everywhere, in paragraph and cartoon,
as the man of uneeasing speech. Re-
publican newspapers wept over his in
ability to be silent, and asked of the
opposition a more reticent candidate.
The comparison is illustrative of their
sincerity.
The policy of Judge Parker is to be
judged alone and upon it's merits.
Viewed in that way, it constitutes one
of his highest claims to public recogni-
ton. He occupies a place ~upon the
bench of the highest court of the great
est state in the Union. There are com
monwealths, we admit with humiIia-
ton, where the active participation in
party politics of judge of the supreme
court while still administering his Office
is tolerated without immediate crush
ing rebuke. That insensibility to all
personal and official propriety has not,
We are happy to say, penetrated the
nation as yet. 1t is still considered
scandalous by judges careful of their
own repute and of official fitness to
give out political forthcomings before
they have resigned the ermine.
There is no rational doubt in any
mind about where Judge Parker
stands. He has hosts of friends, men
who have been on intimate terms with
him for the best part Of a lifetime and
who know his opinions and the trend
of his mind. These men tell US, as his
own record tells US, that he is a high
minded gentleman; conscientious fear
less in the discharge of duty and with
conservative and patriotic ideas of that
which BELTS the American people. This
is enough.
Had Judge Parker opened his mouth,
had he so much as given out the brief
est interview relative to his political
principles, the same pack that is now
bowling about his silence as an evil
dence of weakness would have been
barking at him in chorus for taking an
active part in politics while yet on the
bench. That is the nature Of the ultra
partisan. He will do after his kind.
and we have no particular quarrel with
him, except as his performance with
reference to Judge Parker obliges US
to call attention to his utter insincerity
and to the final evidence which he
himself furnishes, of Judge Parker's
highest qualification; namely, a sense
of dignity under tempting and trying
circumstances, and such a realization
of what he owes to himself, his party
and his country as constitutes. per-
haps his strongest recommendation to
| his countrymen.

where markets have been built up, where

THE REPUBLICAN IDEA

Discussion continues in Republican
Army and Navy Journal that we ought
to have compulsory military service in
this country. The most that editors on
that side of the fence can do is to op-
pose it in gingerly way on the ground
of expediency. They know not how
soon it may become a recognized tenet
Of their party, since it not only fits in
with, but is actually required by the
Republican idea as represented by
President Roosevelt. Therefore they
ground their objections in expediency,
so that they may be able to face about
at any time. The strongest argument
they furnish is that ''the rational OBJ
lection to the compulsory service is its
costliness, with few compensating da-
vantages."
Is it not wonderful thing that an
American of any party should take this
position? '"The rational objection to
compulsory service is it's costliness."
forsooth! We are to object to having
the youth of the country drafted into
the country and obliged to spend three
or five years in camp learning the art
of military service because this with
draws them for that period from pro-
ductive labor and makes them bur
den upon the country, instead of con-
tributors to it's material wealth. That
is the best that we, who revolted from.
imperial ideas a century ago and have.
built up a great nation and powerful
government on the principle that the
life of the individual is his own, can
say against the liberty destroying no
ton that compulsory military service
could be grated upon the American
national life
The rational objection to the idea is
not only that it is costly, not only that
it is needless, not only that it is an in
vitation and an incentive to war, but
ton to Ainericanism. It is un-Anler-
lean all the way through. This nation
has no use for a great standing army
Hatred and fear of that institution
has been one Of its soundest instincts
down to within ten years past. To d.
rect the American idea into the military
channel is to sacrifice all we have loved
and fought for, and to make certain the
doleful end of the republic. We have
no more need of great army, no more
need Of forced service, no more need
of CONSUMPTION than we have of impe-
rial palaces and hereditary rulers. We
have gone fast and far when men who
are not consciously alienated from
Americanisln can even listen to such
suggestion as that of the Army and
Navy Journal without horror and
mental and moral revolt.
Let the people take warning there
from; for this suggestion is nothing
more than the logical child of latter
day Republicanism, and this practice
will certainly be carried into our ma
tional life if the Republican party be
not chastened and disciplined out Of its
imperialistic affectations and brought
back to sane and humble attitude in
harmony With American ideas.
