The first sum Of money for which she

COMING HOME TO ROOST.

When Theodore Roosevelt de-
nounced Judge Parker in un-
measured terms for charging that
the Republican candidate for the
presidency had solicited and ac-
cepted large campaign contributions
from New York corporations in
1904, the Republican speakers and
newspapers assumed an air of
righteous indignation that such a
charge should have been made
against such man as Roosevelt.
In the absense of direct proof of
Judge Parker's charge they Choir
tied with glee at the vigor of Roose-
velt's denial and the bitterness
with which he arraigned Parker.
Today, particularly in New York,
the situation is different. The
