JUDGE PARKER.


The Democratic candidate for The
Presidency gIows upon the country.
The more he Is seen. the more is be
heard. the more he is studied. the
better is he understood. the more he is
admired and the greater confidence
the general public has in him.
The Republican candidate for the
Presidency is a hair bTained. impetu-
GUS. fool-haIdy fellow. the more he Ia
heard and seen the less he is liked and
trusted. His own campaign commit
tee have been compelled to muzzle and
cage him. They are afraid for him
to open his mouth, for fear he will
put his foot IN it. They are afraid to
show him on the platform. lest be

There you have the counterfeit
presentInent of the two candidates.
The one as superior TO the other, as
hyperion TO satyr.'
But Mr. Roosevelt is not only an in

The Captains of Industry" who

Judge Parker's address at Eospus

After two weeks of whirlwind cam.
imagining by both sides In Indiana the
indianapolis News presents this view
of the situation in that State: al
though we are within two weeks OF
the election, the character of the cam
paign has not changed. While mum
berless orators are speaking for both
parties and are attracting large crowds
of people. we are having none OF the
old time enthusiasm. There are few
outward manifestations of interest.
The marching clubs are fewer than
ever before; the professions are small
er; they pass through the streets elicit-
ing hardly cheer; few pictures APP
pear in the windows of private houses
and few political banners adorn the
streets And men nowhere are talking
politlcs-except those who are taking
an active part in campaign work. In
hotels, clubs, railway coaches
wherever men meet-you oyerheaT no
group discussing political prospects
You rever catch the name Roosevelt
CT Parker as you pass men talking IN
the street. One has only to recall the
universal interest and discussion OF
four and eight years ago to see how
great the contrast is. =

Mr.. W.. Webster's communication
in this issue is timsly. He does not
raise an issue. but simply calls timely
attention to an issue already made by
the Republican National platform.
But even without that plank, the re-
cord and personality of the Republican
candidate, would Of itself raise the issue
1t is the race question. A question that
neither the whites nor the blacks OF the
South want raised. A question which
these most interested parties would
settle amicably and right il let alone.
But a question fraught with much
danger, harm and hurt to the South,
with halr-brained meddler like Theo

The License Law Unconstitutional?

There are premonitions of a cataclysm
in the air at Montpelier, which find their
origin in rumors that the supreme court
of Vermont will declare the high license
local option law unconstitutional The
most that is known about any such action
is that a case involving the constitutions
ality of the law was heard at the last
January term of the supreme court, and
that decision has never been given. Be-
lief that something is coming was
strengthened at the recent September
terms of court about the state, when it is
reported, presiding judges did not encour-
age the states attorneys to prosecute vio-
lations of the law. Many lawyers have
therefore drawn the conclusion that the
court is about to declare the law uncon-
stitutional and that decision has been
withheld so that the situation could be
dealt with when the Legislature was con-
vened, and a condition of chaos thus
avoided. 1t is probable that the pending
case hangs on sec lion 81 OF the law, which
prohibits unlicensed selling, but makes
the idiotic exception in favor of farmers
who raise enough apples to make cider"
etc. so that the question is raised OF class
legislation in violation of article of the
bill of rights in our state constitution. II
this clause is knocked out 1t is likely to
result in the creation of an entirely new
law. The action to be taken in case the
probabilities here outlined crystalize
into facts will be for the Republican party
to live up to the full meaning of its
pledges to give the license law a full free
and fair trial, and not to dodge on a mere
technicality. The thing to be done, in case
the present law is thrown into the legis-
lative dump, is speedily to enact a good
strong license law. with such changes only
from the present law as experie nee of the
past 10 months has inuIcated.

Fierce Fighting with Counter Movement
by Japanese.

Field Marshal Oyama has met Gen.
Kuropatkin's advance southwark with a
counter-move to the northward. He has
been able to bring into action a sufficiently
strong force to check the Russian move
ment on his right, and even to advance a
little, while his centre seems now to be
holding its own. On his left the latest
news leaves him in the act of trying to
envelop the Russian column operating
there AS soon as the weight of Kuropat-
kin's blow at the Japanese right became
apparent, the Japanese commander re-
sponded with an attack in force on his
opponents right, evidently with the hope
of crumbling Kuropatkin's western col
umns back and diverting some strength
from the Russian assault on his own
eastern position. Concerning this flank
ing movement Oyama reports that it IFS
progressing favorably toward the attain
ment of our first object" There now have
been five days of hard fighting, with nc
particular advantage on either side, eX-
except that the Russians gained some
ground by their sudden initiative. Toxic
hears that 80 Russian guns have been cap
tured but no details of the affair have
been made public.

not hesitate to say that he believes the
country will be safer in Mr.. Roosevelts
hands than in Mr. Parkers. I'VE know

Quartz Veins In Maine and Vermont.

In northern New England some inter-
est has recently been shown in the ex-
ploration of quartz veins containing pre-
cious metals. During the field season of
1908, DIR. George Otis Smith, a member of
the United States Geological Survey, visit
ed two localities where search for the
yellow metal was being prosecuted. I'm
der the heading Quartz Veins in Maine
and Vermont" he has recorded the results
of his observation in an article in the
Surveys recent bulletin (No. 225) en-
titled Contributions to Economic Geolo-
gy. 1903"
DR.. Smiths observations in Vermont
are like those which he made in Maine.
Within the last fifty years more money
seems to have been spent on mining
operations in the towns of Plymouth
and Brdgewater than has been realized
from these efforts. Since 1859 work has
been done, at various times. on the Tag
CART vein near Bridgewater. Ore has
been taken out there that was reported tc
yield $S2 in gold to the ton. Assays
made in the Survey labratory indicate @
value of over Sc but the sample assaye6
represents the richer part of a small
ore body. All the value is in silver, cop.
per and lead. The absence of gold 1.
suggestive, in view of the high gold value!
claimed for this vein.
The only gold known to have beer
mined at anything like profit in southern
Vermont Is that found on the gravel de
posits of Plymouth, and the extent [,
which that mining was profitable il
doubtful. The essential features of tn
question of the occurrence of gold in Yer
mont is the, economic value of the de
posits, This is at least sufficiently wei
understood to make extravagant- specu
lation entirely unwise.
