JUDGE PARKER'S
SEvEREST CRITIC

II is a curious fact that the newspa-
per of the highest moral pretense in the
United States which is supporting Judge
Parker for the presidency is the one
which, from the time of Judge Parker's
appearance in politics almost to the mo-
ment when he was nominated for the
presidency has been his most venomous
assailant. The Mugwump New York
Evening Post began TO attack Parker
when he was David b. Hills campaign
manager in 1885. and it did not miss a
single opportunity to attack him from
that time till shortly before his nomina-
ton.
Extracts from the Evening Posts edi-
torial columns, published recently by
the New York Sun, attest the truth OF
this statement In 1885 David b. Hill
was candidate for election as governor
of New York. lie had been lieutenant.
governor under Cleveland and had sue
ceeded TO the latter Office when Cleveland
became president. He secured nomi-
nation in 1885 and his campaign man
ager was Alton b. Parker There were
rumors OF scandals during the campaign
in connection with the building of new
acqueduct, and subsequently a legisla-
tive investigation of them was made.
When. in 1892, Hill became an avowed
candidate for the presidency, the Even
ing Post published a record of his life, is
suing the same in pamphlet form, in the
course of which il went over the evi-
dence adduced at the investigation and
connected Parker and Hill in the Aque-
duct scandals. II showed that two notes.
one for $4,000 and one for $4,000, had
been drawn by Hill and had subsequent
w been paid out of the Acqueduct con
tract. which. under Hills personal inilu-
ence as governor. had been awarded TO
a firm of contractors composed of Hills
closest party associates, though 1t was
$4,000 higher. than the lowest bid and
out of which these contractors made a
clear prOnt OF NoOVoO AT the 'NPeh9' ="

Evening Post said: "The testimony

made on that bid Reviewing the rec
ord a month later on March 5, 1892, the

notes: "John O'Brien, chairman of the

Hill had rewarded Parker by making
him a Judge of the supreme court.
Judge Parker remained on the SUI
preme court bench until he was nomi-
mated by the Democratic state commit
tee for chief Judge in September, 1897.
On the day he was to be nominated he
published a letter saying he had voted
for Bryan. While this displeased the
gold Democrats on the committee who
had supposed him to be one of them.
selves, they nominated him. In comment
ing on this action on the following day
September %, 1897, the Evening Post
said:
This was certainly an extraordinary
position to be taken by Democrats who
had regarded the silver issue to be one
of such momentous importance last
year as to Justify them in leaving their
party and doing their utmost TO elect the
Republican candidate for the presidency.
They looked upon the issue then as one
far above politics. being entirely one OF
morals and patriotism. and surely this
H. prominently an issue which ought
to appeal to a man holding one judicial
office and aspiring to another. For
Judge TO vote for candidate whose
principles he disapproved, simply be
cause Of a lifelong habit of voting his
party ticket, no matter what its charac-
ter, is a curious qualification for higher
judicial honors."
That was a pretty plain intimation
that the Post took a low view of the
judges morals and patriotism"
Finally in July, 1908, Judge Parker
then an avowed aspirant for the presi-
dency, went to Atlanta and delivered
an address. On July 5. the Post in com
menting upon it said: AN adroiter
skating over thin ice with the air of not
even being aware that it was there, was
never witnessed" that while speaking
on the Fourteenth amendment, he avoid
ed the most important aspects of the
case, adding: IF wholly to avoid the
burning question of the day is to show
yourself a fit man for the presidency,
then Judge Parker's address should
have sensibly advanced his candidacy
Here again the judge is accused Of
lodging and trickery. His Republican
critics have never assailed his character
as an honest. fearless. straightforward
man in terms so bitter and discourtcous
as these. Is Judge Parker the compan-
ion of corrupt politicians and the trim
mer that the Post said he was, or has

R. R. BUILDING
in NORTHWEST
LESS ACTIVE THAN 1T HAS BEEN
SINCE 1897.
500 Line Extension the Most IInpor-
tant on Foot-Twin City-Lake Line
Regarded in the East as a Bluff ON
Canadian Northern's Part.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
New York, April 19.-Railroad
building in the American northwest is
less active than it has been since 1897.
Its great systems are out Of the rail
and fittings market Northern Pa
cific is stated to have Cancelled re-
Gently contract for delivery Of 49,
600 tons of rails.
The only projects of magnitude pro-
posed for the northwest now are the
500 line extension, under way; the
new line from the twin cities to the
head of the lakes, projected but not
yet surveyed in full; the Mills road
thru the mountains from Whatcom to
Spokane, which will never be built,
and the Snake River Valley road,
which will be built when Hartman
and Hill get together again.
OF these, the 500 line extension is
the most important. When completed
it will receive the bulk of the business
now turned over by the Canadian Pa
cific at the boundary to the Hill roads.
Its building is, therefore, intmical to
the Hill interests and has been met
by the substitution of a route via
Canadian Northern for Hill business
| between the twin cities and the north.
Lately there has been talk Of competi-
tive building on the part Of Great
Northern, but it is considered improb-
able in Northern Securities quarters
that any such building will actually
be put into effect. Such competitive
lines could injure the 500 line, but
would not be good earners Of revenue
| themselves.
The project to build from the twin
| cities to the lakes is considered here
a Mackenzie Mann project, designed
only to secure from Great Northern,
Omaha and other lines a share of ex-
| change freight which these roads were
not willing to give Canadian Northern
until they saw that the latter intended
| to build into the twin cities and bid
for the traffic at it's fountain head. The
bluff worked, and Mr.. Hill announced
his new traffic arrangement with the
Canadian Northern. If this Is the cor
rect theory the line will probably new
err be built.
The Mills project in the far north
west Is halted indefinitely. In case
the Hill road buys Bellingham Bay
the extension to Spokane will never
be made. Instead, the road will prob
ably be carried eastward few miles
| into the valley Of the Nooksak river
for the development Of the agricul-
tural resources of that country and
become a feeder Of the northern ex-
tension Of Great Northern and North
ern Pacific.
Almost the same words will apply
to Seattle e. Northern, Monte Cristo,
and the eastern branches Of Seattle &
International. All these lines are con-
trolled by Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, and will be gradually ex-
! tended as traffic demands for service
| in the interior make the extension
Iworth while.
l. i With cooperation between the Hill
and Hartman interests, the Snake riv-
err project will become real. In the
! meantime no other interest can afford
! to build it.
