LETTERS FROM
THE PEOPLE
Complaint About Judges.


Editor The Evening Journal.
! have been watching the papers
since the decision Of the judges In the
Halloween parade to see II there would
be any protest against the decision for
the best marching club. The judges
may or may not know anything about
marching but IL is the general opinion
that the West End boys were clearly
entitled TO the prlze as they were the
only organization that did any march
ing. The Eagles marched in columns
without any attempt to vancouver.
while the West End boys were con-
stantly changing their formation and
making these changes In such manner
as TO elicit applause from those who
saw them. The West End boys were
not masked. but this fact should not be
taken into consideration as the prize
was for the best marching club, and
the boys did the best marching as
an old soldier would like to see these
organizations parade on Market street
from Fifth to Ninth so that It could
be seen which can march the best
These Judges may know about a boat,
school or a newspaper but they do
not know how to Judge a marching
club The next time we have a parade
and the organizations are to be pudged
for their marching ability let us have
judges who can judge.

EDITORIAL OPINION
An Honorable Tale.

From the Lahore Tribune.
A German traveller claims to have dis
covered in The forest OF Bornco a people
who stil wear the tail of our primitive
ancestors. lie does not write from henr-
say he has seen the tail. II belonged to
a child about six years old, sprung from
the lribe of Poonans.
AS no one could speak Poenan tongue
the youngster could not be questioned; /;
but there was his tail sure enough, not
very Ions. but flexible. hairless and about
the thickness Of ones little finger
Tho Poenaus are reported 20 be very
simple, honest folk with a childlilse sys-
ten Of barter. They deposit i'm public
places the goods they wish 10 exchange,
and few days later they nnd there the
equivalents they desire Nobody dreams Of
stealing This is almost as remarkable as
the vestigc Of the ancestral tai.

OPENS WINTER SESSION

taxes. The president suggested that
the difficulty might be obviated by the
creation CT a perpetual debt bearing
interest at 3 per cent. per annum
which the government could be au-
thorized to sink after 25 years or to
liquidate sooner if the means became
available
President Palma called attention to
Cuba's responsibility under the Platt
amendment for proper sanitation
throughout the island. and stated that
the executive department must assume
general charge of all sanitation in
order TO secure uniform and effective
results.
President Palma alluded with pride
to the gold medals awarded by the
Louisiana uIN4l.sc deposition at y
Louis to Cuba's sanitary department
President Palma submitted th
budget Of expenses for next year
amounting to $19.00O.00O. OF which h'
proposed to devote S2,500.O00 for tn
construction of new roads and TO
bridges.
The president compliments the NIL
tary establishment and the variou
government departments, especially
referring to the public works, the state
and the educational departments. The
number Of schools has reached 5000,
with l20 900 pupils. an increase for The
year of 10000 pupils. The agricultural
station. under the management of
United States agricultural experts, is
developing a high degree OF useful
ness.

a new plan when the old has failed. but
it seems to us that this project which
involves the selection Of new site in
the Ninth ward ought to be regarded
strictly as an alternative proposition
and not be pushed until all hope Of the
Rockland scheme has been abandoned.
The importance OF this matter cannot
be over-estimated. We hope to build a
plant 70 last for generations to come.
one whose supply will be adequate for
an demands. The public health. not
ouly Of ourselves but Of generations un-
horn. rests on the decision. After a dis
cusslon running through years, after
lawsuits and considerable preliminary
expenditure an reached the conclusion
that the Rockland scheme as outlined
in the recent plans is undoubtedly the
best To abandon It now without oX-
hausting every effort to clear away the
difhcultles would be calamity.

his favorite book is so little regarded in

even the piously bred sons Of Maine do
not enter Bowdoin with any too much
biblical lore. The last college to be

A LESSON FROM SAM PARKS.

Sam Parks, is dead. Poor Sam
Parks. Branded as a criminal he
breathed his last in Sing Sing last
Tuesday evening. But little sympathy
was felt for Parks during his trial or
since his incarceration. His follow
ers In New York, however, staid by
him nobly. This leads to the belief
that he was not altogether bad. He
must have had some good traits.
What they were will probably be-
come known, now that he is dead.
After you have got through con-
demnfng Parks, Mr.. Reader, just ask
yourself, who were the worst criminals,
Mr.. Parks or the contractors who
bribed him? The poor, weak Parks,
perhaps never saw as much as $500
until it was passed into his hands by
his INSCRIPTIONS tempters, who would
rather buy labor leader than make
peace with their employees.
There is another phase to the Ques-
ton that is not generally understood.
The contractors who bribed Mr. Parks
were members of a contractors asso-
citation. 1t was for their immediate
gain that certain independent Compel
itors be Inconvenience in carrying on
their work. Parks had the power to
do this, and once in their power they
used him Unfortunately.
Sam Parks, poor weak Sam Parks
paid the penaltyt for his short com1ngs.
Let his experience be lesson to
every member Of labor organizations
entrusted with positions of honor.

WILLIAM J. BRYAN. THE MAN.

Mr. Bryan spoke in Duluth last
Friday eeVning. His audience was
composed largely Of men and women
who heretofore have been prejudiced
against him. That Mr.. Bryan removed
the prejudice there is no doubt In
his lecture on the value of an Ideal"
Mr.. Bryan appears in his true light.
Physically, mentally and morally he
stands as the very best type of citi-
zenship. Ever thought, every utter
ance, every expression breathes a SEM
timent Of noble patriotism. Had Mr..
Bryan been as we'll understood in 1896
as he is today he would have been
elected president Of the United States
at that time.
He has grown much since then. He
has broadened considerably, and vet
he still opposes with the same energy.
and with the same consistency those
interests in the nation who are for
ever expressing the people, and whose

at the expense Of the many.
Because Of his firmness he has been
gradually winning his way into the
heart of every true liberty loving citi-
zen of the country. All the world loves
a fearless and consistent fighter This
is why Mr.. Bryan is perhaps the most
loved man among his people in AM
erica.
His honesty, his loyalty to conviction
ana mis- untiring efforts in behalf of
the people all tend to strengthen and
support him In the hearts Of his follow
ers. In the Democratic party he
stands head and shoulders above every
other man, One word from him will
go farther and have more effect with
the members of the party than a
whole speech from any other man.
Had the country more men like him
there would be less trickery ana
scheming in politics. More men er 81
