Roosevelt Will he Elected and Republic
an Policies Continued.
As election day draws near 1t be-
comes certain that the Republic
an party is going to be continued In
power by the expressed desire Of an
immense ma jority of voters. The peo-
pie had made up their minds before
the shouting and the hurrahing of the
campaign began. Recently, under the
questions of canvassing committees
from both great national parties. they
have revealed their minds. Every Re.
publican will vote for Roosevelt. no
matter what local disturbances affect
his ticket. Many who were Demo-
Gratis before 1896 will vote for Roose-
Welt. although. naturally, they say lit
tie about their intention, and a very
large number of Independents have
openly declared for him.
The fact is that the Democratic par.
ty has shown inability to manage the
affairs Of the nation. Its weakness
was so c~onspicuously displayed when
1t was last In power that hosts of men
became convinced that it no longer
represented any branch or contingent
of the intelligent people Of the Unit
ed States. The free silver craze of
1896 and 1900 completed the wreck
Of a once idollzed party fetch. Thou

of young men with Democratic afilia-
tons, 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 sup
port the party Of honest money, of ma.
tional prosperity, Of sound, virile activ-
ity in the work Of international i'm
%provements, of a dignified, strong for.
eign policy, Of protection to American
citizens at home and abroad, of equal
opportunities and justice to all with
out regard to race, color or religion.
1t will reveal the earnest devotion
Of hundreds of thousands Of first vot-
ers to the principles Of Republicanism.
Ineficiency, uncertainty, division In
council, these do not command the in
terest and good will Of the American
people. The little coterie under the
wing of David b. Hill in New York il
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 ma
iOrity. Ia certain.

Parker Va. Cleveland.

Cleveland's second administration
was disastrous to the prosperity of the
country; nevertheless, history will give
much credit to Cleveland because OF
his obstinate defense Of the gold
standard against the assaults of his
Own party in congress. and because Of
his Venezuelan message.
But while Cleveland was doing his
best to preserve the gold standard.
Parker was voting for free silver. And
when Cleveland wrote his Venezuela
message did he have the moral sup
port Of the candidate who in his recent
speech of acceptance condemned ms
e%xtrayagnnt and unjustiicd the Re
publican policy Of getting the nation
IN readiness for war?
Had II not been for this very policy
rs pursued by preceding Republican
administrations. President Clcveland's
famous Venezuela message would have
been an empty "hluff.'

PARKER REBUKED
Democratic Newspaper Raps the "Bisth.

Democratio newspaper hhps the "bistn~
srskitss'' Of Its Party.
The hardest slap yet administered
to Parker was from the hand of an
ultra-D Democratic editor. There is in
the southland no more rabidly Demo
cratic newspaper than the Memphis
Commercial Appeal, yet an editorial
leader In that paper reads:
Those distinguished blatherskites
who have been ablathering about Fill
pino independence and corollary IMAM
ties claim to be helping to elect Judge
Parker.
Governor Wright, who is on the
ground and who knows, informed this
government that all these declarations
were being translated and published ia
Tagal newspapers and that they were
having a deluding and deleterious ef-
feet on the 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 Naickets
In the valley have come forth and pur-
pose holding public independence
meetings I'm Manila.
IF these fiery exhorters arouse their
half-tamed fellows to disorder and
rapine by their perfervid u~tterances.
and II the task of governing the ISL

p~ensive, our home-bred Tagal-Amerf-
cans will find that they are support
ing Judge Parker with a knife.
This country is engaged In the solu-
ton of n of the most difficult prob
lens that ever confronted a civilized
people and it Is bending every energy
to solve it wisely. Every word uttered
calculated to embarrass 1t will be re-
scented by the spirit of the nation

The Last Hope for Parker.

Eastern Democrats. who, a few

The complalsant Nebraskan has
stripped Off his coat and plunged into
the task laid out for him. But the
voice Of the aforetime charmer can
char no longer. Insincerity kills the
most mighty effort. No man can win
votes under the circumstances sur
rounding Bryan at this time. 1t must
be a bitter pill for David Bennett Hill
to swallow, the last resort to Bryan to
save a pivotal state to the dying Dem
occray, and 1t cannot be a very con-
genial task to Bryan. the effort he is
making under the party w~hiplash.
And, blow high. blow low. nothing
can stop Indiana from giving a solid
Republican majority on election day.

Of calamity howlers. repudiatiOnists.

SHAMEFUL
R~sproach and Ridicule for the Soldier and

The campaign caricaturists of Presi-

ing enough interest to bring out the
question: Is 1t disgraceful to fight for
ones country?
1t is amazing to see the uniform Of
a soldier of the United States army
pictured in such a name as to imply
a reproach to its wearer!
1t was Once thought to be an hon0ra-
BILE thing for a man to resign position,
ease, family, independence, friends and
home, and become a fighting machine
to help uphold the honor and the word
Of his country.
There seems to have grown up a diff
ferent view of this matter. The earn
est sacrifice of an American soldier
Is held by some to be an affair to pic
ture in such a manner as to o
contempt and vulgar smokers In the
crowd. The devoted soldier facing
death for his country is, with these
nameless miscreants. a sight to be
guffawed over, something to be distort.

DEMOCRATIC
Both Parker and Bryan Guilty Of Inex.
cusable Qualification.

fs'
II seems that Judge Parker is not
more yeracious than ID. Il. Hill and
other truth-shaders of the Democratic
party. In his speech of acceptance OH
Aug. 10, Parker made the amazing
statement that the cost of maintaining
American rule In the Philippines
amounted to $685. 10000. This sum Is
50 far from the true amount that II
was expected the Democratic candi-
date would explain his error, but II
does not seem to be his policy to make
corrections. Secretary Of War Taft,
who has had more TO do with the gov
ernment of the Philippines than any
other man, waited nearly two months
for an explanation from Parker, but
none cane. 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 eXaggeration. In
stead of StiJO.OUO.0O0 as stated by the
Democratic candidate. the cost of the
Philippines TO the United States has
been only S1G9,0O0.O00 besides the $2U,-
100000 paid in Spain, making the to.
tai cost ~SlS9.OU0.U00. Mr.. Taft added
that the cost Il year for maintaining
courts, and the additional cost of main
tanning 1900 troops in the Philippines
instead of in the United States. all tax
en- together do not exceed Sj,OOO,OO0
q year.
Three weeks have passed since Sec.
rotary Taft publicly called attention to
Iarker'S mlsStatemcnt. but Parker has
remained silent, completely ignoring
the correction. Now comes w. J. Bry.
an, who has been too busy trying TO
straddle Tarker's gold telegram and IL
to ] to learn facts about anything, and
repeats the Parker statement. Bryan
Is talking anti-imperh lism, and, in try
ing to strengthen his arguments, is
telling the people that the Philippines
have cost SG50,000.0O0-th same un-
truth uttered by Parker. II Parker
made a mistake and was too cowardly
10 correct II, it i'll becomes Bryan, who
has nothing to gain by lying, TO ape
the New Yorker.
This incident is merely fresh eyi.
dence that Democracy is conducting
a campaign of Misrepresentation aud
deceit.
