The G. A. r, Parade,

To the Editor of The Journal.
I see that the officers Of the G. A. r
are contemplating the adjustment Of
the parade at their annual encampments.
Surely this will take away the main
feature Of the encampment and rob our
dear ''old soldiers of feeling themselves
once again heroes in the eyes of the
people. Allow me to suggest that the
city of encampment have their parade,
with police department. civic societies,
state troops, floats carrying old soldiers,
With their complete camping outfit, and
also floats representing some incidents
showing the struggles and sufferings Of
the wife and mother at home, characters
to be taken by wives Of veterans.
Could the city of encampment show its
patriotism in better way than by Loan
ing their carriages, horses and automo-
biles for an afternoon, letting the strong
er veterans mount the horses. to be led
by Sons of Veterans, the weaker ones to
ride in the vehicles provided Let the
rest of us for this one afternoon, if nee
essary, walk or stand during the parade,
instead Of letting the old soldiers do the
hard stunt. It would be no G. A. R. pa
rade without our own true boys in
blue in the place of honor. ..s.-

involved in many enterprises requiring
skilled management and abundant good
luck to carry them thru. The great
line Of stocks carried on margin that
everyone expected to hear about failed
to materialize.
Vi When Bigelow failed and the First
National bank of Milwaukee was hit it
was clear case of wheat speculator
gone wrong. This one trail leads back
into wheat and stocks; the other three
do not. To go back farther there is
the Clement defalcation, and the wreck
ing of the Faribault bank. This was
due principally to land speculation. 1t
leaves the count one against Wall street
and the wheat pit and four against the
outside. ~.:'., =, tsgs.s.! So.
If this proves anything it is that a
Spectator will speculate somehow and
that the safety Of financial institution
rests largely upon the mental
stability Of it's officers. Con-
servatism is virtue the prac-
tice of which may be seen even in
the stock market, and very often an
utter lack of it is found in ventures far
removed from market influences and
not ordinarily spoken Of as speculative
in character.

Jones a Strong Candidate

Z Is Jones weak candidate9 Let us
see. In 1900 the republican party
made an i'll starred experiment with =
new-found convert, one Ames of un-
savory memory. It elected him and it
was rightly charged with responsibility
Tor his Infamous, criminal administra-
lion. The republican organization
went to pieces on that issue. At the
primary in 1902, Alderman Fred M.
Powers, who had clean record as a
member of the council, and who in adj
dltlon to the republican strength in the
city was reputed to have a warm place
In the hearts of organized labor, was
nominated. He was beaten by James
e. Haynes by nearly 5000 majority.
Mr.. Jones in that year went back to
the council from his own ward without
opposition. In 1902, after two years.
Mayor Haynes, who had coddled all the
elements which politicians depend upon
for strength at the polls, was opposed
for reelection by Aldermen Jones. The
campaign was strenuous The. demo.
Gratis had money, popular mayor, the
machine, combination to trade away
johnson for governor for the republican
help for mayor. In the face of these
odds Mr.. Jones, almost single handed
and with the use of very little money.
wrested the city from Haynes, over
turned majority of 5000, changed the
very atmosphere of municipal politics,
1t was a most notable triumph of new
ideas. 1t stamped Mayor Jones as
such a force in local affairs that the
smallness of his plurality was forgotten
in the largeness of his victory. Those
who now affect to believe that Jones is
weak man before the people ought to
take something for the stiles.

The Career of Nipple.

This is an age which is excessively
moved by contrasts. The public career
of Napoleon offers no marvels suf-
ticient to dull the edge Of appetite for
a glimpse into his private life. We have
passed the halo period for the father
OF his country and demand frequent
views Of ''the real George Washing
ton" The study of the human element
is intensely fascinating to an introspec-
tive age. Hence we can understand the
dervish dance with which the popu-
lace, fed on sensations, does over the
remains of man who has fallen. The
sensational tumble of a Philadelphia
millionaire from high estate is an IL
lustration. Let the people who lost
money by his thieving ring the changes
on his financial villainies, the rest Of
us will gloat over the Jekyll-Hyde
nature of the man. "Mr. Nipple was
regarded as man beyond reproach.
No man stood higher in Presbyterian
| circles. He had given the best part of
his life and energy to church work,
and yet was ever eager to assume added
responsibilities in the church 8 cause"
His Sundays were spent in church or
in religious meditation. Business was
laid aside on the Sabbath. He would
not ride on streetcar on that day I'M
less under urgent necessity. So strong
was his prejudice against liquor and
tobacco that he could not bear to have
business dealings with those who
smoked or drank. T'
Now Nipple is proved thief, plum
derer, fraud and the facts of his ca
reer are set forth with certain jubi-
lation that seems to say that because
Nipple the. scoundrel abhorred liquor
there must be something good in the
habit; because Nipple. belonged to the
church the church must be wrong and
irreligion right; because Ripple was
bigoted therefore it must be right to
be "liberal.''
Ripple s career can honestly prove
nothing except that no man is well
known except to himself. The fact
that he wore religion as a mask argues
nothing against the reality of religion.
The fact that his morals were a
veneer argues nothing against morality.
Rightly viewed, Nipples life is dra-
matte warning to every man to know
himself, to be honest, to be square
whatever. the consequences; seeing that
the most plausible career built upon
fraud tumbles at length to ignoble, i'll
