WHY DOES PARKER OBJECT?

The Democratic Presidential candi-
date says. in substance, that President
Roosevelt advocates violent methods
OF diplomacy; that is. he has departed
from the old style, believes in a
straightforward expression of exactly
what the attitude of this nation is,
and does not hesitate to say that this
nation is quite prepared to take care
of itself.
Well. what would you have? Are
we not a great nation, practically GOV
ering with our Canadian brothers, a
great continent and quite prepared
not merely to suggest. but to assist in
the AFFAIRS OF the world? And is it moi
a duty?
Why does ex-Judge Parker, David
Bennett Hill's ex-political manager
object to this?

may give forth ominons platitudes,
misfts for the times. every one of
them. Br'er Hill may shrek, gasticu-
late, get red in the face and pound
the rostrum; Grandpa Davis may
groan lugubriously, but all to no
effect.
Prosperous. happy, contented and
proud, the United States OF America
is doing very well, and does not care
to change its policy Just now.
Looking back upon the past eight
years. the people see nothing in the
conduct of national affairs to be sorry
for. President Roosevelt for three
years has guided the nation along
pleasant paths. and all 1t asks Is to
have him continued at its head for
four years more. There's luck In odd
numbers."

say: We assent to the principle OF
protection and ask the people of the
United States to commit to our hands

NOBODY CARED.

Parker says IL he is elected he will
cut of the old soldiers age disability

old soldier don't seem to be the least
bit scared,
Parker says he is In favor of pro

thinks the Roosevelt way was a
source of regret to many" But Roose-
welt Is not troubled
And Parker is in bad way about
imperialism but the citizens of the
United States only smile when they
hear that word.
And Parker says that the manage.
ment of our foreign affairs has ''excit-
ed serious apprehension in some
quarters. But the American people
are not among the apprehensive.
Also. Parker is distressed over the
poor Filipinos. but the Filipinos con
