The recurrence Of JacksOn's birthday has
given Democratic orators and leaders chance

Memphis, Lafayette, Ind and other points, pro-
pounding and answering the solemn query

National Committee; ex-Attorney General Jud-
son Harmon and Borough President Martin w.
Littleton Of Brooklyn have also been endeavor-
ing 10 answer the much mooted question. what
struck US, and where are we at?" Colonel
Bryan has been explaining that the silver issue
didn't do IT this time. Mr.. Taggarts sage con-
clusion is that "a very large proportion Of the
Democratic voters were not satisfied with the
work OF the national convention" Mr.. Har-
mon seems to believe that the issues used in the
last campaign were either too Democratic or not
Democratic enough. Most Of the Jackson Day
orators thought II advisable TO deal In glittering
generalities when forecasting the party's i'm
mediate future. Fer them there was nothing to
do but follow the Hon. John Sharp Wiliams's
advice and "sit tight in the boat" The one ex-
ception 10 this quiescent attitude was the rather
startling recantation Of safety and sanity" in
dulged In by Mr.. Littleton, who frankly told a
Boston audience that conservative Democracy"
under present conditions was an ''iridescent
dream"
Mr.. Littletons declaration gains a special i'm
portance from the fact that he was one OF the
managers Of Judge Parker's canvass for the
Democratic nomination, and was chosen TO pre-
sent the Judges name to the St Louis conven-
ton. BE recommended the Judge as a safe and

admits now that he also missed his guess" on
the Democratic party's readiness to embrace a
programme Of safety and sanity" He said:
The lesson Of 1909 is enough to teach US that
there Is no place IN the Democratic heart of this
country for a conservative party. The lesson OF
1904 teaches US that conservatism may easily be
cal conditions which have developed in the last
decade require radical treatment.
This admission. made by Judge Parkers
spokesman at ST. Louis, is highly significant.
i indicates that even the ~reorganizers" Of 1904
are beginning 10 realize the contradictions In
volved IN their attempt 10 create 'conserya-
tive Democracy" Conservative Democracy is
itself a misnomer. Under Jefferson, its founder,
and under Jackson, its greatest leader, the Dem
ocratie party was radical, not conservative. II
ceased TO be radical when II was perverted
under Polk into the tool Of a special interest,
all whose aims and purposes were anti-demo-
cratic. Slavery lay for years as a barrier across
fhe path Of Democratic progress. and the Demo-
cratic party so called so long as 1t served the
slave power, abandoned its true ideals and true
mission. from Polk's time 10 CleVelands It

put its peculiar prejudices and interests above
all considerations of national welfare. The
party can regain its original character now only
by ridding itself of the taint of sectionalism
and standing forth as the exponent of the sort
OF Democratic progress urged by Jefferson and
Jackson. But TO do this it must throw over
board fits present sectional leadership, drop its
meaningless conservative mask and apply It

The proposal to provide additional jurors. to

admirable one. 1t should have been made and
executed long ago. as we have repeatedly sug-

costly and important trial should at the last
moment be brought to naught, and have to be
done all over again, just because a juror falls

salem Man Injured.

While District Attorney ]. II. Nc.
Nary was returning from a trip to Nc
Minnville last evening, in rig drawn
by two horses, he met with a painful
and dangerous mishap. 1t was about
10 O'Clock p. m, and Mr.. McNary, in
company with Webster Holmes and w.
II. Holmes, had almost reached the end
of the steel bridge spanning the Will
lamette river at this place, when the
horses became frightened at the arc
light hanging directly over the bridge
at this end and started to run. As the
night was dark and stormy, IL was q
difficult matter to guide the frightened
animals, and so Mr.. McNary thought
he would risk jumping out rather than
perhaps be dashed out over the bridge
railing into the dark waters Of the Will
lamette. He lcaped and struck on his
head, cutting him quite badly on the
forehead and bruising him in many 9th
er places, besides giving him a severe
nervous shock The driver, after the
team had ran a quarter Of mile or so,
succeeded in bringing the horses to a
standstill. Returning he found Mr..
McNary lying on the bridge, and, with
the aid Of several passersby, conveyed.
him to his home. The injuries are not
such as to cause any uneasiness on the
part Of Mr.. MeNary's friends, but still
will neeessitate that he rest and re-
for a few days.

HIGH
ENGLISH
SCANDAL

London, May ll.-Seandalous revela-
tions which have come to light this
week have afforded choice morsel for
gossip in official and social circles. It
appears from the rumors going the
rounds that a member of parliament
and a very prominent politician has
only narrowly escaped becoming the
leading figure in grave scandal. The
charge against him is one Of seduction,
the victim being the young daughter
of one of his tenants. The girl is quite
young considerably under 90, and when
her condition became known she re.
vealed certain facts of a particularly
disgraceful nature against the M. p.
Her father, according to the story, at
once visited the politician and charged
him with being the cause Of his daugh-
ter's downfall. At first an attempt was
made to carry the matter through with
n high hand, and the farmer was or
dered to leave the house as a black
mailer. He quickly took his departure,
having first Of all knocked his land
lord down in his own library, and at
once placed the matter in the hands Of
a wellknown firm Of London solicitors,
who prepared to make matters very
warm for the politician. After much
fencing, the latter ultimately broke
down and admitted everything. In his
eagerness to prevent the matter becom-
ing public, he consented to pay any
sum that might be suggested, and IL is
said that the matter was finally settled
for something like $4,000.
