JUDGE PARKER TOUCHES ON
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
DECLARES THERE IS NO WAY
TO TRANSFER STATE POWER
Speech on Constitutional Day at the
Exposition Being Held in
jamestown.
(By Associated Press.

NORFOLK, Sept. 17.--Judge AL
ton B. Parker, former democratic
nominee for president, and Samuel
mccall, member of congress from
Massachusetts, were the principal
speakers today at the constitutional
day celebration at the jamestown
fair. Judge Parker, abiding to the
presidents view that the federal
government needs an increase of
power which, Judge Parker declared,
had beeen deliberately withheld from
1t by the states and the people when
the governmnt was created, declared
there was way to transfer power
to the federal government, but he
said no amount of labor would per-
suade the state to surrender their
homage to the powers in sufficient
measure to meet the presidents
views as to national necessity.
The judge said he did not know
by what process Of reasoning the
president arrived at his conclusions
that for the government to be seized
with power not granted it by the
constitution sto protect the people
and defend the constitution. The
speaker said the president was not
attempting to acquire this power by
deceiving the people, on the con-
trary he states with perfect frank
ness what he thinks and how he pro-
poses it shall be done. Many people
have not had time to study the con
stitution. and these are naturally in
clined to be imposed with the sug-
gestion that while the constitution
did very well when last made, that
we have outgrown 1t and hence rep
resentatives of the government AMI
not the people may change 1t at their
pleasure.

Women of the Organization Set Their Feet

There we're things doing at the w.
c. T. U. melting Tuesday The
meeting was held at the home of Mrs.
Tuesley, North Sixth street, and the
attendance was good. Mrs. James
Barnes and Mrs Mary Yeager were
elected delegates to the state con-
vention to be held at Wenatchee Oc-
tober s. The ladies decided by
unanimous vote to boycott the state
fair this year
There will be no w. C. T. U. booth
on the grounds, and the members Of
the w. c. T. U. will also remain
away from the fair
The reason given is this: In spite
OF the fact that the state law pro-
hibits gambling and the state fair
commission has been asked to see
that the law is enforced, yet gam bling

will be carried on without let or
hindrance.
The same may be said of the sa-
loon that flourishes each year under
the grand stand
They also object to the immoral
shows that have existed at the fair in
other years. Experience at fairs in
eastern states have proven that the
presence of gambling, saloons and
immoral shows are not necessary to
the success of fairs-in fact it has
been proven that the absence of the
above named evils is a decided bene-
fit.
The ladies also decided to open a
reading room in connection on South
Front street at an early date. The
next meeting will be held at the
home Of Mrs. Oliver on South Sew
enth street.

Saving the Constitution.

Butler was not going to miss point
in anything that would arouse public
feeling, and he! issued congratulatOry
order TO his men upon saving the his
toric old frigate Constitution" which
was then lying off Annapolis. He said:
THE purpose which could only be
limited at in the orders of yesterday
has been accomplished. The frigate
Constitution" has lain for long time
at this port, substantially at the mercy
Of the armed mob which sometimes par
alyZes the otherwise loyal State of
Maryland. Deeds of daring, successful
contests and glorious victories had rem
dered Old Ironsides so conspicuous in
the naval history of the country, that
she was fifty chosen as the school in
which to train the future officers of the
Navy to like heroic acts. 1t was given
10 Massachusetts and Essex County first
to man her; 1t was reserved to Massa-
chusetts to have the honor to retain
her for the service of the Union and
the laws. This is a sufficient triumph
of right-a sufficient triumph for us.
By this the blood of our friends shed
by the Baltimore mob is in so far
avenged. The 9Th Regiment may
hereafter cheer Justify upon all proper
occasions, but never without orders.
The old Constitution" by their efforts,
aided untiringly by the United States
officers having her. in charge. is now
safely possessed. occupied and enjoyed
by the Government Of the United States
and is safe from all her enemies"
