Spirit of the Press
Great Independent Paper on Parker

AAoI pei WSChly.
Never has an act of the highest
moral courage met with greater ac-
claim. Instantaneously the name of
Judge Parker became household
word, not only in this country, but
in every Ehglish-speaking, courage
loving land. Even the Bourbon Tri-
bune forgot for a moment it's inbred
partisanship, and paid a hearty trib-
ute to the nobility of character which
sgnalized itself by such an act. Two
two vivid personalities-Pre
Roosevelt and the Emperor William
who for three years have been most
conspicuous on the stage of the world
faded temporarily at least into in
significance. The pen of the Judge
proved to be mightier than the sword
of the Colonel.
1t is not to be expected that this
stupefying effect upon the amazed di-
rectors of the Republican party will
continue The old-time politicians,
quicker to recover from such a blow,
and more ready than President Roose-
welt, and those like him, to derde a
manly act, have already done their
utmost to create suspicion of deceit.
The silly Tribune is Squirming under
the lash of it's own frank avowal. All
are exploiting in every way possible
the discomfort of Mr.. Bryan, whose
worst to say is that Judge Parker
should have made his declaration be-
fore. All this is in vain. The Repub-
ican leaders may as we'll recognize
the fact that the American people
cannot be deceived in a man. That
President Roosevelt would, if fitting,
express unqualified admiration of
Judge Parker's action we have not
the slightest doubt. He is that sort
of a man himself.

Democrats, for this campaign, at

internecine warfare, and face the COM
mon enemy. There isn't a radical
Democrat in the country who cannot
support the Parker ticket, on the

Parker is for the factions 'to taunt
