From the Louisville Courier Journal.

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
1t is the south itself which refuses to
admit any southern mans availability for
the presidential nomination. 1t is time for
it tosquit fearing itself; to cease consider
ing itself as the south, and to begin consid-
ering itself as part of the United States
There is today no real barrier to the cleo
ton of southern man as President except
the south's own refusal to regard any
southern man possibility.

4 RECRUIT FOR ESOPUS.

Devery of the Pump has decided to support
the Democratic national ticket in this campaign.
and is now vociferating his loyalty and zeal for
Parker and Davis Possibly he may not be
looked upon at Esopus as the most welcome OF
recruits. His political methods in the past
have been too much like those of the Carthagin-
ian mercenarles of old, of the Italian condot-
teri in the period when the Italian cities were
lighting among themselves of the train bands ="
of various countries In centuries OF turbulence
and disorder. who sold their military prOwess
TO the highest bidder, of Boss Mckane, Of
COney Island, before that redoubtable Demo
cratic leader who defied Supreme Court injunc~
tions and spat upon them with derision
sent to State prison.
For many reasons Judge Parker and ex-Sena-
tor Davis may not bubble with rejoicing
because Devery Is shouting at the top of his
prodigious voice that he will do all he can to
defeat the election of Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
Devery. while pledging himself to the hard
est of hard work for the Democratic candidate
for the White House. is bitter and vehement
as he ever was in denouncing Boss Murphy
OF the Wigwam and every one associated with
Mr.. Murphy in the control Of the forces of East
Fourteenth Street Devery individually knows

zation of which William NJ Tweed was for so
many years the all powerful leader Should he

possible that he will take no advantage OF his

one pants to have his each particular hair stand

BRETHREN IN UNITY.

"rhe New York Evening Post" rejoices III the
determination of Senator German not TO become
chairman of the Democratic National commit
tee, and pays this tribute to one OF Judge far-
ker's most trusted and influential supporters:
The deep-seated distrust he has inspired among
honest Democrats and independent voters IS wen
known. He is to be credited with All OF the
wisdom which belongs to that CRAFTY ana IN
sidious animal called a politician but ne JACKS
the fundamental requisites of general WHO can
inspire his cohorts with confidence.
Yet. according TO friends and supporters OF
Judge Parker, the judges parting injunction 10
Mr.. Sheehan when the latter left Esopus for 81.
Louis was: Remember that Senator German
sis the leader of our party. Do nothing IN the
way of shaping policy without conferrlng
with him, and accept his Judgment unqualified-
'ly, irrespective of the opinion of yourself or
anybody else" Can it be that the heroic
Judge Parker who would rather be right than
be President" can so fall below his admirer s
ideals as TO repose his special confidence to this
extent in person who fits The Evening Posts
description of Senator German? Either the
Senator is not so black as The Evening Post
paints him, or Judge Parker can hardly COM
mand its respect.

VICTORS IN FRIENDLY STRIFE.

Not all the strife In the world, nor all the
interesting strife, is in Manchuria or the Red
Sea. or the Democratic party. There was some
at West Kensington yesterday upon which the
eyes and hearts Of the English speaking world
were largely centred. 1t q friendly strife,
though none the less keen because of its anna
bility, and it was waged to determine superior
ity in some of the qualities which have been
since the world began, and will lie 10 the end
of time, important factors in the winning OF
all contests. For humanity is never likely to
get so far away from above its physical
nature not to be influenced To some degree

The net result Of the contest was fine VIC
tory for the American athletes marked by the
lowering of the British flag and the raising
Of the American flag upon British SOIL. Ihefe
were nine events OF these the American
contestants won six, a two-thirds majority
Only in the long runs did the British excel The
two-mile race and the one-rnile race were won
by Cambridge and the half-mile race by Ok
ford. The quarter-mile race and the lVoyard
race were won by Harvard. and the hurdle race,
the high jump, the broad jump and the hammer
throw by Yale. If these results We're 10 ne
analysed. it might be argued that the Ameri-
cans had shown themselves superior IN bOth
speed and strength, and the English in endur-
ance. Perhaps such Judgment would be not
altogether incorrect, even if carried further
than the athletic field and applied 10 more gen
eral national characteristics
However that may he. the American contest
ants and the great American universities which
they represent are 10 he cordially congratulated
upon the outcome Of yesterdays friendly H.

tors not only in this years competition, but also

Americans We're yictors by score Of to =. At
this the third. they were again victors by the
score of TO 3. They have won two out of three
meetings. they have won on the total score by

honor of decisive victory on their opponents
ground. That is glory enough for all their e1-
ultation. and enough, too TO impel them and
their countrymen to give ungrudging tributes 10
their beaten competitors for the stiff fight
which they put up and for the manly way in
which they accepted their defeat The next
best thing TO being good winners is being good
losers.
