PARKER COMES BACK.
He Replies to the Accusations Made by
Colonel Roosevelt.

Olean, n. Y, Oct. 18.-Judge Alton
B. Parker began the Democratic state
campaign here with speech in which
he strenuously denied Colonel Roose-
velt's charges of an alliance between
Tammany hall and Wall street On
the contrary, he said the coIonePs
charge raised a strong presumption
that the Republican political organiza-
ton has established relations with
Wall street or some part of 1t. He
urged enactment of a law providing
for Imprisonment instead of mere fine
in cases of corporate contributions to
campaign funds.
Judge Parker quoted extensively
from letters of Mr.. Roosevelt, William
]. Bryan and Edward H. Hartman
to fortify assertions that Mr.. Roosevelt
in the campaign of 1904 solicited cam
paign funds; that Roosevelt knew "the
great financial interests, protected in
terests and others having favors to
seek contributed largely" and that at
Mr. Roosevelt's urgent request, Mr.
Hartman very shortly before election
day interested himself iii securing
$26O,0O0, which was turned over by
the Republican national committee to
the Republican state committee.

be abundant opportunity to gath
er up the rubbish and refuse ly-
ing about, and apply fire to it;
and thus remove it from sight.
1t may be suggested that such
part as can not be consumed by
fire should be buried under the
ground, thus placing those un-
slightly accommodations out of
the battle to offend, or mar the
beauty that will thus come into
being, and the burial of which
will tend to fertilize the earth.
Some times the work of clean
ing is performed by a removal OF |
the filth without any change in
it except to remove it from your
own to your neighbor's premises.
This is wrong, and does not speak

clearly indicates that such per-
son is not considerate of the
rights of others or the propriety
of things.
Just now a revival effort is in
progress in our M. E. church.
Rev. E. B. Westhafer of Muncie,
Ind, is assisting the pastor in
the work, and while the work OF
external purifying may be done,
the work of internal purifying
ought not to be neglected. Here
opportunity is afforded for this
purpose, and not only afforded,
but urged upon the attention OF
the people as the proper thing to
do. Evidently there is abundant
room and plain reason why it
ought to be done, If the Chris
tian people afford the opportuni-
ty and means for people to get
right with God, and the oppor-
tunity is neglected and spurned
where will the blame attach?
Rev. Westhafer is an earnest
man and goes into the work with
a determination to get results.
He has plenty of oratory, and if
the sinner fails to be convinced
of his duty it will not come from
a failure in the presentation OF
the plain gospel message. While
Ephraim may be Joined to his
Idol effort will not be spared to
divorce him from it in this meet
ing.
