Parker.

Judge Parker has no desire to run for
Governor of New York. He would prob
ably make a poor race. His party blum
dered four years ago in calling him from
the bench into politics. AS a judge he
was serving to the general satisfaction.
He had the necessary bearing and tenn
permanent for the place. But his party
was in straits for a presidential candi-
date, and at the instance largely of Wall
street magnates named him. The mistake
appeared almost instantly. No enthusi-
asm could be aroused in his behalf and
the campaign was a failure. Since then
Judge Parker has become a corporation
lawyer, looking in that direction for his
fees. The candidacy of such man
against Charles E. Hughes. the repre-
sentative Of all that has been done in the
state to curb the corporations and elimi-
nate their abuses, would be foredoomed
to defeat.

This was sent from Chicago Tuesday
night:
I'm the most important political con-
ference OF the campaign. w ]. Bryan to-
day told members of the national COM
mittee, who were gathered in the Annex
headquarters. that the democrats had the
hattie won. But. unless they fought every
minute. he warned them the tide might be
turned. He unfolded a plan Of organiza-
ton. which he said should extend to every
precinct to hold the ground gained"
In this town are pleasant memories OF
the late Ike" Hill. Col. Hill was a
democrat to the core. He was always
regular. He might differ with his party,
but he never opposed it. It's candidates
and platforms were always promptly ac-
cepted by him. But. partisan as he was,
a bit OF philosophy tinctured his compost
ton, and he had humor. too. He knew the
game of politics, and was trifie cynical
ON the subject. In campaigns when the
time for tall claims arrived, Col. Hill made
his as tall as any. A favorite expression
of his when in optimistic mood was this:
We've got 'em. boys; got 'em sure-if
they don't buy U.S.
II is the time for tall claims. and Mr..
Bryan makes his conform to the fashion.

Bryan in Indiana by thirty thousand.
Judge Parker, Speaking from a car-win-
dow survey, says the Pacific coast is all
Bryan
Need we be surprised at Mr.. Bryan's
confidence? He is surrounded constantly
by party managers and supporters and
personal admirers. He hears nothing but
good news. He might scale down all the
estimates submitted and yet see victory.
But he has neither the time nor the dis
position to scale down anything. He
wants TO believe just what his friends
are reporting and they are reporting just
what they know he wants to believe. 1t
Is the game of jolly. played for campaign
purposes. The leaders of the party are
heartening the candidate in personal con-
versaton, and he the rank and file in
public interviews.
And yet there is what may be called
an Ike Hill reservation in Mr.. Bryan's
deliverance. He does not express it in
the Ike Hill form. He speaks of the
tide. and admonishes his party friends
not to permit it to be turned. Col. Hill
would warn the boys not to be bought.
1t comes to about the same
large measure of optimism is to be
allowed to Mr.. Bryan. and doubtless he
is feeling good. But not as good as he
gives out. The battle is not won, but
has just begun. For short time it
looked as if the cock pit might be half
a dozen states in the middle of the coun-
try. Now it is plain enough there is to
be first-class fighting all around, as far
east as the Atlantic. and as far west as
the Pacific. Mr. Bryan overstates his
case, and maybe is not very wise in doing
SO. Some claims are so tall they fall of
their own height

The Lucky Star.

You've heard about the candidates,
These men of giant mind
Who oft engage in fierce debates
To benefit mankind.
No doubt you've thought them great and
wise;
But wait until you scan
The way, ere long. they'll advertise
The gay comedian!
He is the man of whom they tell
The latest anecdote;
Whose garments are described as swell"
Whose sayings people quote.
Oh, solemn statesman, where's your
chance
To check his dashing plan?
Forsooth, you cannot sing nor dance
Like the comedian.
He even chooses just the praise
He thinks will suit his style;
The humble scribe to whom he pays
A wage must we'll compile.
And prove the world ne'er placed on view
Since history first began;
A man SO wise and witty, too,
AS the comedian.

Dreyfus' Assailant.

The French people are altogether de-
Iightful in any mood or aspect. They are
always diverting. Here We have the case
of the man Gregori, who attempted to kill
Maj. Dreyfus at the Pantheon in June,
when the remains of Emile Zola were
entombed there. Gregon proves to be. a
typical Partisan, a fellow of true Gallo
naivete. He entered the plea that he
had used an inferior cartridge in his pis-
toll I'm order to make his demonstration
inonensive. The Judge pointed out to him
that he might possibly have rendered his
demonstration assuredly innocuous and
quite as noisy If he had used blank cart
ridges. whereupon the defendant admitted
that he had not thought of that ex-
pedient.
Mai Dreyfus evidently did not regard
the demonstration OF Gregori as inof-
fensive or technical, for he has persisted
in the prosecution with commendable
vigor. He seems to feel that it is some
what unnecessary for radicals to use him
as an object lesson when they want to
make a noise and attract public atten-
ton to some particular question. In
deed, it is believed by many that Dreyfus
was chosen for sacrifice without refer
ence to his personality or conduct. Some
who have studied the Dreyfus case
closely are of the opinion that the whole
affair was a well planned scheme to
demonstrate" against the Jews in
France. Throughout the discussion of it
in it's various phases 1t showed race and
religious rancor on the part of the enc
mics of Dreyfus. Those who have since
been found guilty of the conspiracy chose
that particular man because they thought
he could be railroaded into exile and
serve as terrible example of national
infidelity.
No more futile undertaking could be
imagined, in normal circumstances, than
an effort TO revive the Dreyfus affair
and Gregoris enterprise must be rated as
act of fanaticism. Unless the French
people are absolutely hopeless they will
never permit any recurrence of the
shameful persecution from which Drey-
fus was the particular sufferer.

Stock Mart No Sanctuary.
From the Wall Street Journal.

From the Wall Street Journal.
Will the stock exchange. before it is too
late take measures to convince the public
that it really intends to put its house in
order? OF course. nine-tenths of the
charges made against Wall street arise
from sheer ignorance. but there is cause
for complaint on account Of the one-tenth,
and an urgent need for action before the
state legislature meets, to say nothing of
Congress, If the exchange would protect
the freedom of the market from mschiev-
Gus governmental interference.
Not SO many years ago Sir George Jes-
sell the master Of the rolls and one of the
strongest judges who ever sat upon the
English bench, laid down principle of
common law in connection with certain
stock exchange transactions. The bold,
and even temerarious. secretary of the
London stock exchange informed his lord
ship that the ruling confiicted with one of
the rules of that institution. WHAT
cried the judge. Il will have the stock
exchange committee know that Capel
court is no sanctuary, nor the stock eX-
change an Alsatia in which the queens
writ does not run The stock exchange
committee altered that rule then and
there and did not wait to appeal to the
supreme court of the house of lords.

Taking Play Seriously.


Americans take their PLAY too seri-
ously because they do not take it seri-
ously enough. The passing hours tes-
timony to this paradox is given in the
fact that the evils and shortcomings of
recreation have been critically exam
ined on an extensive scale only since
the birth Of the Playground Association
of America, which is now barely old
enough to be sitting in it's second an
nual congress. The paradox need con-
fuse nobody. 1t is a juxtaposition of the
veriest commonplaces whose connection
is usually overlooked. Americans do
take their play too seriously. We do
not need to recount here all the fren-
zied rivalries Of college foot ball teams,
the girls who have left college broken
heartedly because they could not
make the basket ball team, the ter
rible earnestness of hoodlum athletes
who plumber shops, stone wayfarers
and hold up trains, Or the silly ''patri-
otism'' which leads police commission
ers to excuse athletic roundsmen from
duty that some ward clubs honor
may be upheld on the cinder track.

A High Pressure Warning.

Yesterday a fire broke out i'm one of the
large department stores of this city which
tor few minutes threatened to develop
into destructive blaze beyond local rec
ords. It occurred in one of the most
closely built squares in the city with i'm
mense values in goods within easy range
of destruction. Fortunately, the smoke
was observed quickly enough to bring
tho engines upon the scene within very
few minutes and the flames were fought
with exceptional intelligence and skill by
the employees of the establishment and by
the fire department. 1t is to the credit of
those in charge on the scene that the
blaze was eXtinguished with a damage so
small as to be ridicuously insignificant,
considering the risk that was rum
Had this fire broken out in the base
ment of the store instead of the roof,
OF at night instead of in the day, 1t
is altogether likely that Washington
would have suffered from one of its most
disastrous CONGREGATIONS and 1t would
then have been bitter reflection that
the loss might have been spared had the
downtown section of the city been equip
ped with high pressure fire service per-
hitting the concentration of immense vol
umes of water upon any threatened point
without the use of steamers. Again and
again this need has been called to the at
tentien of Congress in terms which would
surely seem to be convincing to any leg
islator But annually the requsition
for the three-quarterS of q million neces-
sary to establish this service has been
turned down by the committees on Dis
trict appropriations on the ground that
the resources Of the capital would not
stand such drain upon them.
The District cannot always hope to es-
cape disastrous fire by such slight mar
gins and fortunate accidents. 1t cannot
always rely with confidence upon the
promptness and skill of the firemen under
the present organization. 1t has been
demonstrated repeatedly elsewhere that
the high pressure service is the most re-
liable. modern method of fighting fire in
a congested district and each year that
the District goes without being thus pro-
vided adds to the danger through the
steady building up of the downtown sec
ton.
Any day fire may occur here in Wash
ington which, will destroy several times
the cost of a high pressure service. which,
if installed, would have absolutely pre-
vented such a visitation. 1t is surely the
worst of economy to continue thus to save
the dollars when millions are at stake.

The Evolution of the Aviator.

Mr.. Wright's work in the air Yesterday
at Fort Myer advanced the aeroplane ex-
periments an important stage in that it
proved his ability to remain aloft not
merely for long period, but in the face
of sharp wind. Human flight will only
be technically accomplished on what
might be termed a laboratory basis as
long as machines are sent aloft only
when the air is calm or the wind is very
light, say al less than four or five miles
an hour. The bird does not wait until a
dead calm prevails before launching itself
forward from the bough of tree No
more will the aviator Of the future, as
Stunning that he is sure to come consult
the wind vanes and thermometers upon
preparing for journey otherwise than to
ascertain the exact conditions in order to
accommodate himself to them In short
the future airship Will fly whatever may
be the winds rate or direction unless it
may be in the face of hurricane.
1t is noticeable that the man who Is
doing such excellent work at Fort Myer
is himself rapidly improving in his control
over the machine. This would appear to
demonstrate the truth of the assumption
expressed by The Star not long ago in
this connection that the problem of hu-
man flight is after all a question of de-
veloping the operator 1t is also plain
that, as The Star then said given the
machine, the man will come. This was
true in the case of the automobile When
high power cars were first produced acct
dents We're constantly occurring in conse-
quence of their unskillful management. In
short. the machine had preceded the
chauffeur in point of perfection. Just so
with the air plane. the machine being to-
day evidently capable of performances
which the operator has not yet been suf-
ficiently evolved to undertake
Probably in the course of few years
highly skilled air plane operators, or
ayiators, as they will doubtless be called,
will be as numerous expert cha uffeurs
are now. ~They will be able to navigate
their machines deftly and safely as
the man at the controller in a sixty-horse-
power motor is able to traverse the
crowded streets of a city at good speed
without accident. There will be mishaps
in the air as there are mishaps in streets
due to the recklessness of the operators,
but it is a safe production that in less
than a decade flight will be undertake
over long distances by means of some
such machine as that now under test at
Fort Myer by adventures in the field
of sport with the same freedom that bal
looms are now sent aloft by those who are
seeking a novel sensation and experience
