Sobriety and War Fever.

The New York Times. in appreciative
Mood. says:
THE tone of Judge Parkers speech of ac-
ceptance is in perfect keeping with the
sobered sense of the American people.
Since the year 1898 we have not been at all
times quite in our sober senses War Is
an exciting business The fever has lin
gered in our blood. The flush of it departs
but slowly from some faces much in the
, view of the people. and the heat and pas
sion of battle now and then glow again in
the language of our chief public men.
We sobered up much more rapidly than
the Times is willing to allow. We were
quite ourselves again by 1900 Does not
the Times recall how in that year Mr.
Bryan made the attempt to smuggle in his
free silver views by pretending that the
paramount issue was Imperialism? Does it
not recall also how emphaticaly the people
rejected his whole proposition. silver, i'm
perialism and all? The electorate was in
very calm and reflective mood. and never
reasoned better than on the issues of that
year The Times itself was sufficiently
sober to help along and share in the tri-
umph.
War is an exciting business, and the
flush of it departs but slowly from some
faces The faces of majority of the
American people showed the flush for
twenty years after the close of the civil
war. They elected General Grant. our most
distinguished soldier. President for two
terms They elected General Hayes, an
other soldier. to succeed him. They then
elected General Garfield. another soldier.
and had he lived they would probably have
reelected him. The part these men had
played in the civil war entered largely into
their strength at the polls. 1t was not I'M
til 1884 that a man who had never had the
war flush" in his face-not even when the
civil war was raging-was elected President.
Some people felt more strongly about the
Spanish war than others. There were those
who would have compromised the case even
after the destruction OF the Maine, at SO
much for the ship and so much per head
for the men who had gone down in her.
Their blood was immune to the war fever.
Mr.. Roosevelt was not of this number. He
was in favor of the war, helped to fight it.
and upon his return home was Endorsed at
the polls, first for governor of New York,
and then for Vice President of the United
States. Is he more dangerous man now
than he was in 1898 and 1900? If So why
so? He has been in the White House nearly
three years. and yet has not challenged
creation to a trial at arms. Mr.. Roosevelt
and the people seem sober enough Maybe
1t is the Times that is-excited

DEVELOPMENT of Rock Creek Park.

The estimates filed with his annual re-
port by Assistant Engineer Richards. in
charge of the Rock Creek Park improve
inents. call for an appropriation next year
of $4,000 for the development of that por-
ton of the park lying north of the Military
road. 1t is to be hoped that the Commits
sioners will include this sum in their own
budget and urge its adoption by Congress.
1t represents an important work which
should be pressed as rapidly as possible, and
should not be permitted to lag along In the
old way from season to season with only
partial expenditures and series of uncom-
pleted undertakings. The park has proved
a great advantage and benefit to the people
of Washington and 1t will increase In beau
ty and value as 1t is developed by the MAX
ing of roads and thus rendering accessible
every portion. The upper part is virtually
a terra incognita to the majority of the
residents Of tine capital. who have not been
tempted to explore 1t because of the lack
of good roads and paths If Mr.. Richards
plans are executed this region will be laid
open without destroying its natural beauties
and the park will at last acquire its full
character and become of maximum benefit
to the public.

Judge Parker and Gold.

oh, well. everybody really interested in
the subject is sufficiently advised as to
Judge Parker's financial views and record.
He never believed in the free coinage or
silver at IL to I. His environment. If moth
ing else forbade that. He voted for the
proposition twice. simply on the score OF
partisan regularity. He wanted TO keep
his record straight. He probably did not
expect or wish for success at the polls.
Very likely. he foresaw what has actually
taken place: that, after drubbing or two
for it's follies. his party would drop, or try
to drop. its more extreme deliverances and
appeal TO the country in the guse of a con-
scrvative. That day has come and Judge
Parker. with a record of having cast none
but democratic votes. is his party's leader.
He solicits the votes of silver men because
of the regularity of his record. and of gold
men because of the regularity of his
financial views.
1t may be asked why Judge Parker, re-
moved at the time from the activities and
excitement of politics. and when so many
of his party friends were repudiating the
party's platform and nominees. decided to
stand by his party Did ne have his eye
even then on the White House? Why not?
He had been a politician. and a good one,
a United States senatorship as far back
1891 He was the bosom friend and asso-
ciate of David b. Hill. the most adrot and
powerful democrat in the state. New
York was certain not to lose. and she might
increase. her Importance IN democratic
presidential calculations. He had many
friends and was ambitious. Why should he
not have weighed all these things carefully.
and shaped his course accordingly?
Let Judge Parker be appraised. not by the
Mysteries of a few gold democrats. who
have been very uncomfortable since 1896
and have eagerly seized the first excuse
for scurrying hack home. They would have
the country believe that he Is the greatest
man ever. They come dangerously near to
setting him above Mr.. Cleveland, who until
the gold telegram was written monopolized
the glory of this world. But let US consider
the Sage of EsOpus as a human being. look
ing at things through human eyes. keeping
very human company and very anxious to
be President of the United States. Evil

Flies on the Wheel



Four years ago those wise men of New
England, who are convinced this ship of
state has lost it's course and Is bound to
be wrecked on the rocks of imperialism,
voted for Bryan. Just why they did ii
they have never been able to explain. They
had no use for Bryans fantastic theories of
government, repudiated all his free silver
notions and counted him a demagogue of a
dangerous type. But during his campaign,
for lack of some other issue. Bryan attack
ed the expension policy of the Mckinley
administration and that settled 1t as far
as these few Bostonese are concerned. They
did not elect him, did not, as far as known,
carry single precinct or ward in Boston
for him; but they seemed to believe they
did the right thing, though in spite of
their fears and their baneful predictions
the country seems to be feeling pretty
well this morning and shows no immediate
signs of going to the seadogs.
Now these same men have turned to
Parker They have not the slightest idea
how the judge stands on the question
which they consider the chief of ali Amer
can problems He may be an expansionist
and imperia1ist of the most advanced type
for aught they know. for no utterance ia 4
he made on the subject. They are simply
taking him on faith. hoping that they can
bring him to their way of thinking and
make him see storm in every sky and a
lightning bolt in every jack o. lantern. Per-
maps they will. for the judge is still an
unsolved political problem. and from the
queer collection of visitors now ma,xins
piigrimages to Esopus there is no euessine
what views the judge may hold by the time
ne Is called on to make his speech of ac-
ceptance.

broaden. or ro0rganize. the democracy
Many difficulties in this way would bese'
him.
The Senate IL no place for man whose
eyes are fixed on the White House. Lei
Mr.. Bryan reflect on what history shows
in support Of this proposition. Let him
confer-if he Is on speaking terms-with Mr.
German. And maybe Mr.. Allison. on the
other side of the chamber. has had an ex-
perience not without its instruction and
warning on the subject. He who enters
the Senate does not leave hope OF the
presidency behind. but he handicaps himself
in all such calculations.
If Mr.. Bryan's latest prOnunciamento
means anything 1t means that he has hope
of reaching the White House through the
means of a recognized democracy. He de-
scribes what he would graft on the old or
ganization, and 1t Is plain that IL he Is to
succeed he must give all of his time to the
work. 1t Is no vacation task. 1t cannot be
executed between sessions of Congress. 1t
calls for the untiring and aggressive indus
try of a trained agitator. who Is never at
his best If encountered with an official COM
mission.

Spellbinding.

The announcement that the President
Will make no speeches In the campaign
should cause no surprise SO far as he is
concerned the record Will speak for him.
His position is not in doubt on any point
NO man has ever filled the office of chief
magistrate whose performances have been
clearer or more definite. Not one OF them
needs key or an explanation. His appear
ance on the stump would. of course create
great enthusiasm. but 1t would neither
comport with the traditions OF his office.
nor add to his strength at the polls. The
spellbinding is for others. and 1t will be
fully attended to. There are speakers. and
to spare. and If any one Of them is seeking
a job and fails to get IT he may charge him
self with lack of snap and industry.
