THE JUDGE ADVOCATED,
Says The Hardford Times:

President Roosevelts plurality in November. 1904. was 2,5l1,s35. What would the figures have been 1T the proof had been published a week before cleo tion day that fne fae essh paF wits the big Corporations, exactly as Alton B. Par ker had charged, and as Mir. Roosevelt so hotly denied?
 The truth could easily have been brought out if the Republicans had wanted 1t, bFt that is just what they did not want. Judge Parker knaw what he was talking about, and he doubtless knew that his opponents would not let the facts get to the public. They wanted the money and were willing to obtain It from any source. and while the leaders and managers could not have been ignorant of the fact that some of their campaign funds were obtained in way that was disreputable they didn't turn it down. The denial of Roosevelt was sincere, let us admit. but he would hardly repeat that denial now.
 As to whether a full knowledge of these facts before the election would have materially reduced the Republican plurality we cannot say, for they were bent on winning. and had no scruples about means and methods. It is cer- tain, however, that Judge Parker's chances were lessened by the charges he made. It was promulgated all over the country that he had grossly s1andered the Republicans and wher- ever that report obtained credence it decreased his chances. He has been fully 'vindicated, but even now the Re- publicans are trying to discredit him. They would do much better to remain silent or to come out like men and admit that Parker was right in his charges of corruption. The disclosures in the New York Life business should effectually stop them from denying or apologizing in the matter. The evil dence is complete and irrefdtable.

 Democrats to Aid In the Reform. Stamford tConn.) Special to Washing
 ton Post.
 The Republican town committee of Stamford has made a novel proposi- tion. intended to do away with the custom of fattening the pockets of the parasites known in politics as the "fioaters" The proposition Is for the appointment of a joint committee of Democrats and Republicans to con troI the expenditures of money for election purposes in the coming cleo tion. In political circles here 1t Is said that the demands of the fioaters have become so brazen during the last few years that something must be done to put an end to vote-buying.
 Hitherto the bribery, 1t is declared. has been looked upon by both parties as a necessary evil If the Democratic town committee will consent to meet the Republican town committee half way, 1t looks as if there would be nothing doing" for the foaters in the October election here. A peculiar fea- ture of the affair Is the frankness with which both sides confess to having countenaflced vote-buying, there being no attempt whatever to conceal the fact.

His task has been rather seiiii sentiment in the state has chated un- der the Home Market Club ideas that have dominated the men who have been accustomed to manipulate psrti- dIficult to suppress freedom of action among Massachusetts people. There may be something about the atmos- phere that contributes to that tempera-

 z Mir. Bryan and his policies may not again be an issue in the Democratic Party, but whether they are or not his public utteranees are fair subjects for criticism The letter he wrote to the President few days ago is actually astonishing in some respects. especially this paragraph;
 Why not ask Congress for authority to submit all international questions (when an agreement cannot be reached by parties interested) to an impartial board for investigation and report. In vestigation will in nearly every case remove the cause of complaint and reconcile the parties.
 The letter contains good deal of gush. to speak plainly, about what the President has done and can do, but 1t Is difficult to understand how a man of Mir. Bryan's intelligence could sub init such a proposition. He is virtually advising the President to ask Congress to delegate to him the treaty making power of the government. That body has on more than one occasion shown its dlsinclination to submit to Roose- velt's dictation, and 1t is not to be supposed that 1t would agree to this proposition. even if it has power to thus surrender its rights. which we look on as doubtful. to say the least of it. The Nebraska statesman must have been jollying the President.

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER aa. 1OOa
HERE'S CONCEPT.

Hon. Henry Cabot Lodge has about the worst attack of any one we know of. when he declares that the election pf a Democratic Governor of Massa- chusafts this year will be taken as an abandonment or a condemnation of Roosevelt he goes little beyond the limit of good hard sense We are aware that Boston considers itself the hub of the universe. and that. we pre- sursse. makes Massachusetts the universe itself, though some are unwilling to admit it.
 The Lodge way of reasoning it out is evidently something ike this: Mas sachusetts is the principal State in the Union and Roosevelt is the United states. The election of a Democratic Governor will show a lack of confidence in Roosevelt; want of confidence in him discredits the government, and there tors the United States will be diseredit- ed srt the eyes. of the world unless the RetubilcAns elect their Governor, The deduckion may be rather strained, but 1t sn evidently what Lodge thinks
 The tremendous vote for Roosevelt last year has evidently had bad ef- feet on some men. In the elections of that year Massachusetts gave Doug las, the Democratic candidate for Gov ernof. a plurality of s6,o0O, in round numbers, but gave Roosevelt plurality of 9a,0o0. No one took this vote as showing a lack of confidence in Roose- veis or in Republican principles. With the sole exception Of 1896 Roosevelt got the largest vote ever given for a Presidential candidate.
 There were local causes operating in that State last year through which the statS was lost to the Republicans, and the same thing may occur this year. The State is overwhelmingly Republi- can. and the election of Douglas was a great surprise. but surprises some times occur in politics. and if purely local issues should again elect Demo- cratic State ticket we fail to see how it can be taken as a reflection on Roosevelt or on the Republican Party much less can 1t be looked on as mimi cal to the standing and prestige of the United States.
 The fact is Mr. Lodge takes himself and hIs State entirely too seriously Time was when Massachusetts was a power in the family of States, and some of them seem to think the axis of the government runs through the State. Ii isn't quite a fact and if some of the people up there would rub of a little of their conceit 1t might help them The United States can continue business with a Democrat elected Governor of the old Bay State.

2 The Omaha world-Herald is not dis posed to agree with The Advertiser in its remarks about the repudiation of the free silver heresy at the polls. It says that the demand for free coinage is no longer a vital issue because of the great increase in the quantity of gold for coinage purposes. Well, our contemporary must look at the matter in its own way. but the fact remains that the theory has been relegated to the rear and can no more be made an Issue among Democrats than the ques- tion Of salvery can. Any attempt to revive 1t, or to preach adherence to It is merely making Democratic success impossible.
