put rosebud in the hands of their
dead babe. A few hours later they
found it in bloom. To them the open

So will God who clothes the flowers
with beauty, care for his suffering chill
dren. He will light their darkest
hours and ease their heaviest burdens.
The most repellant and mysterious ex-
periences shall not dim our faith.
I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
only know cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
The increasing culture and use of
flowers is an unreasonable moral
and ethical influence. The flowers
speak in an Ineligible and universal
language. They express emotions
and symDathies which words cannot
convey. They sweeten, bitter lives;
they console the sorroWfng: they
cheer the sick; they soften the GRIM
inal; they uplift the lowly. Flowers
Of mourning they are tokens of the
living. Recently gentleman went to
a florist and said: MAKE me up a
fine bouquet ''Who is dead?" said
the dealer. mo one: I want them for
my wife, replied the buyer. All this
is passing. Flowers are for the living
and the dead. The most beautiful
tokens we can place on the graves Of
our dead soldier heroes are flowers
and the flag they loved. Let us en-
courage the culture of flowers until
there shall be enough for all. Flowers
in gardens and parks, in homes and
churches, in, hospitals and prisons;
flowers for rich and poor, for age and
youth; flowers, flowers. everywhere,
uttering Gods messages Of beauty,
love and care will help in making the
world better and happier and wiser.

PARkER'S MANLY LETTER.

Judge Parker's letter Of acceptance
is judicial in tone, and some may he
disposed to criticise it because It
lacks the agressiveness of Roose-
velt's, but therein lies its chief
strength. The demand of the times
is not for a man who can vie with
Roosevelt in rough riding, but for one
whom the people can trust as safe
under all circumstances. For this
reason the nomination of the New
York jurist has proved immensely
popular and he is gaining ground
every day.
Moreover Judge Parker shows that
he has plenty OF spirit, though it is
tempered with rare judgement. In his
replies to the criticisms that had
been passed upon his speech Of acceo-
lance he proved himself a keen an
tagonist, and yet he displayed such
a spirit Of fairness and frankness that
even his opponents must admire and
respect him.
In defining his position on the Phil
ippines and the now famous pension
order, Judge Parker displayed the
same moral courage which always
prompts him.
His arraignment of the Roosevelt
Administration for extravaganza and
for it's refusal to investigate thor
oughly the frauds in the public serv-
ice is unanswerable With man Of
Judge Parkers purity of character in
the White House, honesty of admin
istration would be secured in all de-
partments, and the expenses of the
government would be reduced without
in any way imparing the efficiency Of
any department.
The division Of the letter which
will be most bitterly attacked is that
in which the Judge accepts Roose.
velt's challenge, and after showing
that the pension order providing that
all ex-soldiers over 62 years of age
shall be entitled to pensions was made
clearly without authority, he declares
that if elected he will revoke that or
der and urge the enactment Of Law
that will do justice to the veterans.
Uncle Joe' Cannon made this par
of Judge Parker's letter the text 70
a characteristic speech at Hastings
Nebraska. He said that if the orde
is revoked from $4,000 to $4,000 pc,
sons will loose pensions. So there
the cat is out of the bag! The Pres
dent must have known that Their
was no authority for such an orde

Locomotion of Ye Olden Time. The Bal
timore Herald says: There are strenuous days
for the citizens Of Canton and Highlandtown.
Ever since the great fire, when the street
cars ceased running, most OF the inhabitants
of the eastern suburbs have been compelled to
walk The few who have carriages or wagons
are in luck, and are looked up to, in measure,
by their less fortunate neighbors.
"Many are the means of locomotion which
have recently been brought into requistsen to
carry workingmen or others to points IN the
city. The large manufacturers uptown have
hired vehicles of every description to get their
employees to work.
s.Not since the days prior to the introduction
ofstreet cars in Baltimore have so many buses
been seen upon the streets, and temporary
charge regular fares to Broadway and other
points. The only car line to East Baltimore
now in service is the Fairmonnt avenue or
Back River route 10 Highlandtown."

Mayor McLane After County Taxpay-
ers.-On Tuesday last Mayor McLane, of Bal
timore city, talking about public spirit and
taxpaying, expressed himself as follows:
LET those of large means, who do all their
business in the city and make their homes in
the county. come into the city and pay taxes
instead of paying to the county.
"Let the Foutz act be wiped of the statute
books that the property owners in the Annex
may pay for what they are getting. and at the
same time help those who have suffered.
"Those who have large business interests in
the city and live in the county, ought to come
in. They are absolutely identified with the
city's interests but pay their taxes to the coun-
ty. Public spirit ought to cause them to come
bank a i6f Il bkk
directors. I'll venture that you won't find
many of them who do not live, vote and pay
taxes in the county. Get every one OF them
that is associated with the city and takes an
interest in its politics and government. They
ought to treat their country homes as luxuries
and pay city taxes because they get all the city
advantages.
II know am on ticklish grounds but those
are my convictions. The Green Spring Val
ley. Catonsville and all Baltimore county are
full of them. This is the proper time to get
the whole taxation system in shape The pre-
ferential rate given to the Annex people is an
injustice to those who are Obliged to pay the
full rate. The Annexites have schools, engine
houses, water, police, rapid transit, and all
other things that the people in the city proper
have, except paved streets.
TOO large part of the people is paying too
small an amount of the city's expenses. Very
little of the Annex property is now as It was
when it came in. AS the law stands, a block
must contain the requisite number of houses
and be graded, paved and curbed all around.
To do that would cost much money and the
city people would have to pay the bulk almost
entirely. The whole Annex would have to be
thus built up and paved before the tax levy
could be equalized. That would not be a
square deal. Let the Annex people come in
without a murmur, show their public spirit,
and also make their contribution to those who
have suffered and to the city as we'll"
