 The meeting was held under the joint auspices of the King County Democrat Club and the Bryan Volun- teers.
 His speech dealt with the issues of the national campa en, and he devoted his principal attention to the evils of the great cOrpora.io'ls, which. he de- clared, were fostered by the present high tariff.
 The remedy, Judge Parker declared, is in towering tariff wall, and this, lie doubted, if the Republican party would do if continued in power anoth- CT four years.
 Judge Parker denounced the idea of Federal control of corporations as the remedy He recommended a statute imposing jail sentence upon corpora tion officers convicted of contributing money to campaign fund.-

WHERE IS THE PROFIT,

 There are men in Arkansas who have trafficked thus in dishonor, and yet others who are itching for an op- portunity 10 follow in the tracks of those who have bartered their souls peace and traded their claim to man. hood for the ephemeral glitter of in- quity, when their lives, begnn without have been rounded out to the full number of years allotted to humanity with all the attributes of pulchritude and uprightness.
 It is remarkable, and at the same time sad commentary upon the frail- ty Of human nature. that the clink n' gold and the pomp of power should prove the supreme test in the lives of some men, and that. in their weak ness, they should place themselves for ever beyond the pale of responsibility and without the confidence of their fellow men for the pitiful and short lived rewards following the distortion o1 character that was once beautiful and the poisoning of conscionoc th9t was once at peace with itself and with the world at large
 For such man there is no peace His days are spent in futile efforts to
 
 fortify himself against a retribution which he knows must come, and his rights in wrestling with the night mare of unrest and the neyer-endina contemplation of what might have been if, in the beginning, he had as serted his manhood and asid No" when the Tempter first attempted to blacken and distort a life which was given in order that it might grow more beautiful and more useful as the years slipped by.
 Far better for him had he been deaf to the voice of the siren which un- manned him, even at the cost of riches
