The New York Herald Quits.

From the first of the campaign the
New York Herald has been an earnest
supporter OF Judge Parkers candidacy.
but it now realizes the absolute hope
lcssness of the Democratic fight, and
predicts Roosevelts election. In an
editorial it practically withdraws it's
support from the Democratic candidate,
and acknowledges that Judge Parker's
speech on the Philippines was a great
blunder one of series of blunders
which the sphinx of Esopus and his
managers have made during the past
few months. 1t managed to keep
cheerful in spite of his earlier blum
ders, but this talk of scuttle in the
Philippines is the limit. 1t says:
Judge Parker. for example, must
surely realize that he cannot arouse the
American people over the Philippines
or the Filpinos. For good or for evil,
and with the sacrifice of American
blood, the islands have been acquired,
and the United States can abandon
tneln no more IMAM Germany could
abandon the annexed provinces of AL
SAGE and Lorraine.
Such questions do not concern prac-
teal politics. They are of interest only
to debating societies. and the question
of home rule for the Filipinos has only
a theoretical Importance. Political con-
siderations have compelled Germany to
maintain distinction between AIsace-
Lorraine and the remainder of the en-
pire. Yet the people of those prov
lnceS nave as high conception of their
duties as other inhabitants of Ger
many. one cannot say the same of the
F1ilpinos as compared with the Amer
lean people. Even Judge Parker would
not argue that the general levels of in
teliiSence and education or the STAN
| dards of industry and enterprise are as
High in the Philippine islands as they
are in the United States. 1t would be
\ more practical. therefore, and more
beneficial for the people concerned to
demand good American government for
| the Fflipinos than to indulge in oratorv
about their theoretical right to auton-
| omy and independence.
Mr.. Rooseve!t's election appears
probable.

According to the figures of the inter-
state commerce commission for the
year ending June 30. there were more
than 1l.0o0 railroad wrecks in the
United States, which resulted in the
death of 37S7 persons. the injuring Of
51,3i3 more, and property loss of over
s9.30O.000. AS there has been an epi-
demic of railroad accidents throughout
the country. during the summer and
fall months, it is altogether likely that
the figures for the current year will be
even more appalling than those quoted
above. 1t is undoubtedly true that
when the enormous railroad mileage of
this country is considered, and the
hundreds of millions of passengers car
ried every year. the above figures Of
the fatalities are not so large by COM
parison, but they are still much larger
than they ought to be. The railroad
companies of this country have a great
and important problem before them of
handling trains in manner which
will better protect the people who trust
their lives into their keeping.

The plea of scuttle in the Philippines.
which Judge Parker advocates. and in
which he is supported by various men
whose Ihimes the country remembers.
but whom it thought of as dead until
the campaign opened, does not appeal
to the average American. The spirit
Of youth dominates ibis country, and
tho red oorpuscle is in active circu-
l&tion in the American system. The
timid Counscls of decrepit politicians
will av iii nothing. Judge Parker may
gain the support OF Carl Schurz cx-
Governor Boutwell,. ex-senator Ed
nunds. and a few of their type. but he
alicnatcs the support of the young men,
who have high ideals as to the glory
and greatness Of their country, and
who have faith in its future 1t is the
voter with red blood in his veins who
will bury Judge Parker out of sight

The World "Apoloqizes."

One Of the worst campaign lies "iiiol
the Democrats have UNDERTAKEN W
make the country believe was that
published in the New York World con-
corning an alleged visit of j. Pierpoht
Morgan to President Roosevelt DIT
Oyster Bay for the purpose or entering
into a secret compact. The article
which was of many columns in length,
was featured with great headlines ana
numerous illustrations and Diagrams
and was not merely an account OF the
"visit'' but it made the direct charge
that Mr.. Morgan had secured from the
President. in consideration Of financial
SUPPORT for his candidacy. a promise
that the trusts would not be disturbed
during the next four years. The MARIA
tive was a lie from beginning to end,
and was promptly branded as such by
President Roosevelt. But weeks ana
months went by and the World did not
make any apology or retraction or eX-
DianatlOn. lie " NC sum, ''NS
published, but was not given any sucn
prominence as the outrageous yarn it
self. At length, however, the World
publishes an admission of the untruth-
fitness of the story, though it's admis-
sion is made in a seni-jocular fashion,
as though the whole affair were huge
Joke and something to be laughed at.
instead Of being a charge against the
nations chief executive, which, if true,
would have warranted his impeach-
ment and removal from office. Here is
the apology" of the World:
I'VE confess with the deepest contri-
ton that an overZealous reporter and
the news columns of the World were
deceived into describing meeting at
Oyster Bay which apparently did not
happen. The World printed the Presi-
dents denial the next day as proml-
nently rs the original story, and 1t
offered Mr.. Morgan repeated Opportuni-
ties, of which he did not avail himself,
for a similar denial. 1t then Instituted
careful investigation, which haS
failed to disclose any other foundation
for the tale than n visit of Mr..
Morgan's yacht to Oyster Bay. The
too-credulOus reporter who allowed
himself to be imposed upon has been
severely disciplined"
If anything could exceed the mOnu-
mental mendacity % the World in pub
fishing the original story, it is the stu
pendous impudence with which it
makes the retraction quoted above.
Aud now that it cannot invent any new
lie about the President, the World de-
votes it's energies to abusing Chairman
| Cortelyou, but in this it's failure will be
| equally complete. M. Cortelyou is
| giving the country the clean"st presi-
] Dental campaign that it has ever had,
so far as either of the political parties
are concerned, and is a man whose in
| tegrity IS no more to be questioned
than his ability.

Canada pridcs itself upon sticking
closely to English names and methods
in its political matters. but it has
nevertheless unbent sufficiently to ap-
ply the term of "Populist" to the party
now advocating government ownership
of Canadian railroads. 1t is true that
government ownership can hardly be
called an American idea. since Eng
land has gone to such great lengths in
this direction. but if the idea is Eng
lish. the name. at least, is American.
and it is interesting to note that the
canizcd i'm spite of themselves.

The new rural telephone lines give

from Fort Fairfield. A lady was
awakened at about three o'clock in the
morning by a furious ring of the tele-
phone in her house. Feeling from the
widness Of the ring that it must be
something mortally important she
scampered down stairs and nervOusly
