But for the prompt and effective work
of the AmerIcus department in extin-
gushing the carload of burning cot
ton in the Seaboard freight yard late
Friday night, a serious loss would
have resulted. The car was shipped
here from DeSoto, and contained
twenty-four bales consigned to Ameri-
Gus houses. It is not known how the
fire started, but flames were bursting
through the roof of the Car when the
fremen reached the freight yards,
More than an hour was spent in fight
ing the fire in the closely packed car,
and only Ten or dozen bales were
seriously damaged though all were
smoked and wet from the water poured
into the car. But for the work of the
firemen this car of cotton and Other

The Power Of Courage.

There was just one brave figure in
the democratic national convention,
and that was William j. Bryan.
Whatever may be the errors of Mr..
Bryan in political judgment, he has
the courage of his convictions and
stands by them with the directness
and intrepidity that Americans ad
mire. If gold plank, or one dis
creditmg the Kansas City platform,
had been embodied in the resolu
tions, Bryan would have carried the
fight into the convention. The
Parkerites were afraid of the test.
They finched when they faced the
ordeal They showed the same
cowardice when they surrendered
their right to try conclusions with a
gold plank on the convention floor
1t could have been passed by sim
pie majority, and the Parkerites gave
their candidate two-thirds on the
fret ballot Bryan would have
fought the financial plank to a finish
in the convention unless acceptable
to him. The Parker forces lacked
the honesty and the nerve to contend
for their views in the same manly
way. They backed down. On that
essential point, with all the power of
large majority on their side, they
surrendered to Bryan, leaving him
untouched as the exponent of the
party's latest financial utterance.
1t is said that Mr.. Parker will now
proceed to give views not in accord
with the platform. Here again is
the mark of cowardice. Why did
Parker fail to speak on finance or
any other subject before the conven-

practically a full force. This was
Immediately followed by raid on
the Record office in which the ma
chinery was damaged and much of it
ruined.
Referring to this editorial and the
action of the Federation officials the
Record says in its issue of the eighth
instant:
"It is practically useless to argue
with the present officials of the Fed,
GRAFTON. They have no sympathy in
their hearts for these suffering peo-
pie here and those who have been
deported. The Record has made a
manly fight for the rank and file of
that organization, but 1t was not So
we're enough for the officials; it was
argumentative and not abusive, and
they considered that poor work, SO
that when this plant was wrecked a
month ago tomorrow, the manage
ment OF this institution received not
word of sympathy from those of
ficials or one cent of reward or pay
toward repairing the damages.
1.-THE serious mistake of the West
ern Federation of Miners is that they
have allowed the head offices to be
filled with socialists in place of diplo
matte men and men with sympathy
for their following. There never
WAS better class of miners organiz-
ed than those who were working the
mines of this district one year ago,
but they took an obligation and that
obligation has not been abused by
them but by the men that had them
by virtue of that obligation in con
troll.
"When called upon to walk out

in the country they obeyed, though
80 per cent of them feared it meant
hardships and starvation for their
families, yet the leaders of that or
ganization forced them to swallow
the dose prepared for them, and the
result is that there is no organiza-
tion by that name in the Cripple
Creek district today. Who's respon-
sible? Deportations were in force
here when the Western Federation
held sway-they are in force today,
but the other fellow gives the com
mand now"

tor of the Record reflects the views

tion? The delegates in that case
could have governed themselves in
telligently. Parker chose to be 81
lent, and the platform also is silent,
on Bryan's compulsion. The skulk-
ing tactics of Hill in the whole Par
ker business are a repulsive episode.
Bryan stripped off the mask and the
platform, by it's omission, betrays
the pusillanimity of the political
managers he bearded with their big
but craven majority behind them,
Parker expected trimming, decep

single handed, but indomitable. Bry-
an is a bigger American than Parker
can ever be.
What are the financial views of
the democratic party rs far as they
have been expressed? The only
answer that can be made is to refer
the inquirer to the platform of 1900,
a reaifirmation of that of 1896. That
is the party's latest financial plank.
Mr.. Parker may be for the gold
standard, but he should have said SO,
if such is the case, before the nomi
nation. His party has not so de
clared. 1t backed away from dis
tinct opportunity to do it in con
vention in which its majority was
ample. Cowards, it is said, are the
object of divine hatred. They are
foreign to American history and alien
to American character. Parker's
profound silence before the conven-
tion and the surrender of his major
ity, sufficiently stamp the Pickering

In view of the strenuous efforts
made by the socialist party to win
sympathy and support for its suxil-

of interest. 1t will be remembered
that the Record was the official or

the strike ill advised and later urged
that it be called off, he remained
loyal to the Federation. About a

dynamiting of the non union men at
Independence, he published an edi-
torial urging the officers of the fed
