NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT.
An "EveninE Post" Opinion Of Judrs
Parker.

r.yass Parker.
(New York Evening Post. July ], 1903 }
We presume that Judge Parker's greet
ings in Georgia as .'our next President"
will not ruffie his judicial calm. Like
the rest of us, he has seen too many next
Presidents year before election.
They usually swarm like grasshoppers
in July before the nominating conven-
tion. But the Judge will be subjected
in his Georgia address to pretty sharp
test of his fitness for President, next
time or ever. Will he have the courage
to speak a direct and wholesome word
to the people OF the South on the question
which is rapidly becoming the leading ma
tional issue?
We mean, of course, the whole matter
of abridged suffrage, denied citizenship,
refusal OF equal treatment before the
law. and the recrudescence OF slavery, as
affecting our negro population. The
Southern papers are full of 1t, and de-
manding that the South be "let alone"
in its challenge OF human rights and dis
regard Of the constitution. Edward NJ.
Shepard told the people of New Orleans
that the South ought to be left to go its
own way. But can a man named as
''our next President agree to such a
local notification Of national laws7 If
he can. he is not cit to be President next

UNLIKE DEMOCRATS
FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS OF
REPUBLICANS NEVER SHADY.
Sale Of Philippine Bonds to . Western
Eask. the HiEhs Bidder = Dsmo-
cratic Deal with the Bsimoat
oyadicsts Riddaed.

The fourth installment of the $3,0OO.-
600 Of Philippine bonds was taken at
1O1.41 by the Western National Bank
Of Oklahoma City, whose bid for the
bonds was the highest. The fact that a
western bank should outbid leading insti-
tutions of Wall street for these bonds
suggests how the West Is rapidly gaining
in financial power and importance. No
western bank would have dared to bid
for such large issue Of bonds without
being perfectly satisfied that It could find
broad market for them amongst local
investors. The old financial problem of
the West was to get money from the
East The present problem Of the West
is to find good channels for the invest
ment of its own money.
By transaction such as this We ind
investors in the Southwest become cred
itors of the Philippine Islands. In other
words, they are loaning some of the
fruits of their own prosperity under Re
publican rule to help along the prosperity
of our nations wards in the Philippines.
The security which United States gov
ernment over the Philippines gives to
lives and property, trade and industry,
makes the credit of the islands good, 50
that investors are quite willing to pay
premium for Philippine bonds. II the
United States government were not SOW
ereign over the Philippines. 1t is qucs-
tion whether tho islands would be able
to hoat bonds even at a discount, hence
many needed improvements for the ISL
afids could not be carried out. Were
the Democratic party to be successful
in the election this fall, the owners OF
Philippine bonds would doubtless see .
quick slump in their market value.
Notorious Democratic Deaf
It Is the Republican policy in the case
Of necessary issues of bonds, like the war
loan Of 1898 and this Philippine bond
issue, to sell the bonds by popular sub
scription or by public competitive bid
ding for them. This gives the whole peo-
pie an equal chance, and all sections of
the country an equal chance, to secure
them for investment and TO realize what-
ever profit their ultimate appreciation
may bring. Under the Democratic plan,
as followed out during the last Cleveland
administration, the government ignored
the small investors, and had no use for
any financial institution west Of Wall
street.
For instance, on Feb. IS, 1895, the
Democratic Secretary OF the Treasury
signed contract with New York syn
dicate for the selling OF $62.315, 400 four
per cent bonds. These bonds the syndi-
cate sold to the public for $65. liz. .244.
clearing profit for itself, out Of the
transaction. OF nearly $1,000, 900. The
price at which the bonds were sold to
the syndicate was equivalent to 104h.
when the existing United States four per
cent bonds, with less than bali as long
a time to run, were bringing Ill on the
market. The syndicate dictated 70 the
government the terms Of the deal. ONE

DICATE. AUGUST BELMONT, is

Few people realize how or why the

The fact IL indisputabie that there IL
something about its climate, the mer-
curial disposition OF its people and the
conditions OF life in Kansas that make
it sort OF barometer for the rest OF the
republic. When there Is anything seri-
Gus the matter with Kansas 1t In GER
tain that NIL Is not exactly right with

in Kansas there is apt to be a mighty
thirst in all the region west Of the Mis-

and the cyclone and grasshoppcr give her
