Parker.s Speech.

In his keynote speech as temporary
chairman Judge Parker said:
"The case of government by the
people, the world over has been ma
terially checked by the disgraceful
brawl which terminated in the bed
lam of Chicago. Every good citizen
has been shamed by the brutality and
abuse which has characterized this
wrangle between a president and an
ex-president.
Gratitude tc his friends, his party
loyalty and common -decency were for
gotten in the tussle."
Parker then took a fly at Roose-
welt. . He said
1.-THE assault upon the unwritten
prohibition against third term was
made in the wild scramble for the re-
publican nomination warns us of the
vital necessity of incorporating in our
constitution a safeguard against re-
peated terms.
'In the very beginning of our con-
stitution-making it was urged by dele
gates participating that safety re-
quired constitutional limitation of the
period of years for which one man
might hold the office of president The
man who met and deserved defeat
once, recognized the third term tradi-
tion and acknowledged its application
to his situation"
Would the man who threw his hat
in the ring and sought to slug his op-
ponent over the ropes in the fight for
third term rest satisfied with its ac-
hievement? Clearly his lust of pr wer
would brook no such limit at the con-

BALTIMORE, June 25, 12:17 p. m.---
The convention was called to order by
Chairman Mack of the national COM
mittee.
l2:2O-Chairman Mack raped for
order the second time. The galleries
were only half filed This was due
to the miserable handling OF the
crowds There were more than o00o
persons standing in the line trying tc
get in. Mack then delayed few min
utes to give the people chance to go
inside.
The arrangements for admission OF
delegates and spectators to the con-
vention were the worst in the history
of national conventions.
There was great confusion about the
main entrances. The door tenders
were green on the job. The police
passed a large portion of their time
in seeking shelter from peltering
rain.
At 1890 the call for the convention
was read by Secretary Smith

nounced by Cardin.ssc Gibbons.
When Cardinal Gibbons arrived to

ed a warm and enthusiastic reception,

PARKER FOR PEACE.
After being elected by SUBSTANTIAL
majority Judge Parker delivered MS
speech as temporary chairman. He
condemned the "disgraceful brawl'
at Chicago and said the democratic
convention would be nothing like that.
When Congressman Fitzgerald Of
New York, spoke in defense OF Parker,
Delegate Gebhardt of New Jersey,
jumped to his feet and yelled:
'sFitzgerald, Fitzgerald, Cann0n's
and Tammany's man."
A yell of approval and denuncia-
ton followed.
Fitzgerald began: "New YORK has
presented conspicuous demand"
Here the pandemOnium in the build
ing became so great that nothing
could be done.
Chairman Mack was pounding with
his gayel and threatening to clear the
galleries.
Scores of delegates were exchanging
threats and seemed on the verge Of
fisticuffs.
A Texas delegate added to the con-
fusion by shouting: "Oh, Oh, you con-
spicous New Yorker who voted for
and with Cannon"
The police here cleared the aisles.
Order was finally restored.
Congressman Fitzgerald of New,
York, moved an adjournment to p.

limited States increased q per cent? but
the number of farms did not keep pace
with this increase in population. Meas
ured by the number of farms agriculture
exhibits diminished rate of increase,
and in large areas of the country are
practically stationary. Yet, notwith-
standing this fact, there has been an in
crease OF lI7.4 per cent in the value OF all
Land in farms. The average value OF
farm land per acre increased, during the
ten years period indicated, 1857 per
cent. In this connection it is interesting
to note that there has been mneh none

But the tendency of so many of these
heavily capitalized conceans has been to
operate solely for their own ends, and in
their own interests, rather than due re-
gard for the public good and for the laws
