HEARST FABLES,

We do not know whether it is a pen
atty or prize in connection with yell
low journalism that makes Mr.. Hearst
the subject of so many interesting lit
tie anecdotes. The special correspond
ents have a new theory to fit his case
every day. A few weeks ago they had
him already nominated by the Demo-
cratic national convention. Next he
was able to name a candidate and die
tate platform under the two-thirds
rule, by holding together an obstructive
minority. And now they have him
dickering with Judge Parker for a cab
met place as a price of his Withdraw
ing from the contest altogether.
Equally logical is their account Of
the situation in New York state. A
couple of weeks ago it was to be a
fight to the finish between Hill and
Murphy, the former representing Judge
Parker and the latter Mayor Mcclellan
in the first instance, with Cleveland in
the background The whole struggle,
we were informed, was between these
two men, first for control of the state
organization and then for national in
fluence. Now we are advised with
equally sober countenance that Mr..
Hearst is an element in the state con-
vention and will act with Murphy, than
whom no man is more thoroughly an
tagonistic, in order to beat Hill, whom
he is supposed to hate still more bit
terly.
The Interpretation of all these things
is that they are the visions of the night
that form the special possession of the
special correspondent. They are all
creamery and humbug. The influence
of Mr.. Hearst in New York Democ-
racy is infinitesimal. Neither faction
reckons with it at all. The possibility
Of Mr. Hearst as a presidential candi-
date vanished a few weeks ago when
the national leaders of the party were
moved by a realization of the need Of
concentrating upon some strong and
available man.
There is fight for control Of the
party in New York state, as there is
for control Of the Republican party in
Minnesota, and as there is for control
Of each party in almost every state in
the Union. 1t is a friendly contest, and
we shall find both sections of the party
working in absolute harmony for DEM
ocratic success and the Democratic
nominee. Mr.. Hearst cannot fairly be
held responsible for the many ludicrous
and baseless rumors that cluster
round his name; but, having similarly
treated so many hundreds or thou
sands of public and private characters
in his own newspapers, he is doubtless
considered fair game.

US 1t is the part of wisdom to trust men
ana measures that are not tied down hard
and fast to the dead past. If the Demo-
Gratis do not wish to make good the Re-
publican charge that we are hunting for
an issue we had better choose a candi-
date and adopt platform that will be
d1spleaSIng to the Republicans. 1t is hu-
initiating to have influential Democrats
adVoca ting reciprocity and incidental pro-
lection and silence. How can any Demo-
GRAFT think there are enough gIIdgeOnS in
the other parties to be caught by these
twin humbugs to elect Democrat?
reciprocity was invented to fool the Re
publican voters who began to see the in
Justice of protection, and now that it is
losing it's power as a fetch among the
republicans it is gravely proposed by
Democratic leaders who ought to know
better, to incorporate it in the Democratic
creed. Reciprocity means that if any
other nation persists in taxing its people
INTO bankruptcy we will get even with
them by taxing ourselves likewise. If it
doesn't mean that, it means that the for
elgner pays the tariff, and in either case
II becomes ridiculous as a proposed plank
IN democratic platform. Neither can
people see much practical difference be-
tween tariff for revenue with incidental
protection and a tariff for protection with
incidental revenue. So we cannot hope to
sweep the country by setting up a dunn

Those who continue to point us to the

MISUNDERSTANDS PARKER's ST.
IENCE


To the Editor of The Globe.
L see by recent issues of T h o G 10 h o
that prominent leaders Of the state
democracy have settled upon Judge Par
ker as the states choice for presidential
candidate From reading various reports
and comments in T h Globe 1 also
learn that the Democratic partv will
adopt platform in keeping with the can
dldacy of this eminent jurist. Judge Par
ker is commended for the quiet dignity
with which he has received the unsolicited
expressions of loyalty from his party as
sOciates, and for his silence on all the is
sues before the people. No one can say
what Judge Parker stands for and if he
be the nominee it is fitting that a platform
be adopted that proclaims no definite pol
icy.
The articles published in h e GIob e
which give the views of these leading
Democrats announce that there is at pres
ent no question of free trade; that while
we must have tariff for revenue such
tariff will give us incidental protection.
We must evade the underlying PRINCIPLES
of the tariff and make reciprocity promi-
nent feature of the platform. In short, our
platform is to be reciprocity and incidental
protection, with candidate who is not
known to have any views on live political
issues. 1t is not surprising that soma who
call themselves old-line Democrats are
pleased with such a party policy for thew
have been voting with the Republicans
during the past eight years; but it is
probable that thousands will be astonished
to hear that such men as Rosing and
Lind should give their assent to such a
programme. 1t may be that short sea
son of power as leaders of the party has
made success for the Democratic machine
more attractive than the support of Demo-
cratic principles, In the history of our
country the three great presidents since
Jefferson, Jackson and Lin
coln-were in all respects the opposite of
the inane and characterlesS Judge Par
ker, whom it is proposed to set up as the
Democratic figurehead. They were not so
dignified that they could not give ex-
preston to opinions, and all were positive
and powerful factors in shaping the plat
forms and policies of their parties and of
the nation. They were men with opinions
and We're willing to fight for them. and
preferred political defeat rather than gain
the presidency by adrQitly lodging the liv-
ing issues of their times. And what would
be our history with the work of these
three presidents eliminated? Is il
not plain that our country has entered
period which requires a president of the
character of these three great men?
1t may be observed in this connection
that we need not fear the influence and
success of "the So-caled unsafe men like
Tom Johnson or Bryan. or Hearst. Jeffer-
son, Jackson and Lincoln We're thought to
be unsafe men by the political mosSbacks
of their times. There can be no progress
without ignoring the musty precedents of
the past and since our nation has reach

Tammanv Worried.

The report that Leader Murphy is in
poor health as the result of worry is
to be received with caution. It lacks
what is called the responsiveness of
probability. He may be worried. There
is good reason to believe that. For
three months now he has been between
hawk and buzzard But think of a sea-
Soned Tammanyite weakening physi-
caIly under such experience! He should
grow stronger. Mr.. Murphy, very like

WHITMAN COLLEGE WON FROM

LAST NIGHT.

Fourth Cavalry-Silver Cup

Whitman College basket ball team
bested the ball tossers from the Walla
Walla High School in the game at the
Armory last night by score of ~ to 3.
The game was a good one and well
fought from start to finish by the
High School lads notwithstanding that
the college boys had the best of things
from the start Alpha Cox was the
best player among the latter with lobe
Rigsby close second.
The other game was between the
Walla Walla Independents and the
Fort Walla Walla team. The latter
were heavier but the town boys were
much quicker and in the last half kept
the ball in their opponents territory
nearly all the time. Happy Frank
was unquestionably the star of this
game and probably the best basketball
PLAYER on the floor during the evening.
Nearly every goal in the last half was
thrown by Frank some of them so
cleverly that they brought out much
applause. Fred Wills was another
good man for the locals. He was right
there with the ball whenever needed.
Lieutenant Lewis and Messett did the
best PLAYING for the fort team. The
final score for this game was % to 4
in favor of the Independents.
A good sized crowd was present and
enthusiastically cheered their favor
ties. Judging from last night the out
look is bright for some fine basket ball
here this winter. Whitman and the
