What Agitates the Spanish Cortes.

Things in Morocco are likely TO lead
to a speedy crisis in the Spanish
| Cortcs We do not need to look back
far to find examples Of expensive col
onization. or TO observe the disastrous
effects of supporting a government in

Spain, once a world power, offers au
illustration of the unsettling influences
Of ambition which is clung to after the
period of profits has passed. Spain
held tenaciously TO Cuba and the Phil
ippines until deprived of them by war.
Since the loss of the colonies oc-
casioned by the Spanish-American war.
Spain has made fine commercial gains.
Spain has actually profited by colonial

a variety of causes for this unrest in
Spain. The spread of democratic
ideals; and the diffusion of education
are powerful factors. Another is the
Moroccan war.
Spain, by her treaty of November,
1912, assured France that order and
freedom of communication would be
maintained by Spanish troops in the
Spanish zone of influence" France
herself is far from the end of her
own troubles in North Africa. SOL
diers under arms are constantly need
ed. But Spain has the heaviest bur-
den. The Madrid government is
charged with the discipline of the un-
ruly Moroccan tribes, including the
following of the archrebel, Rasuli.
The Melilla garrison must be kept
close to 10000. In addition other
troops must be kept in the field TO
chastise rebellious tribes. whose only
bond of unity seems to be a repugnance
to foreign interference. 1t costs
money to support a belligerent colony.
Hence the Moroccan problem is agi-
tating the Spanish Parliament acutely.
There are some who cannot see whv
the government should not chastise
the Moors, whose ancestors left Bit
ter memories in Spain. But there are
more conservative classes in Spain.
who cannot see the use of sending
good money after bad and live soldiers
after dead ones just for the honor of
being colonial power.

Looking for a Moral Issue.

Not only are the Republicans er-
barrassed by the fact that Mr.. Roose-
welt is an aggressive and t1ncompro-
missing candidate while they are with
out all acknowledged leader, but they
are also anxious TO find some great
moral issue upon which to go before
tbe country.
They are afraid that if they stand
upon the tariff alone they will be
charged with being material and sor-
did besides which the new tariff law
may prove satisfactory to the country.
Mr.. Roosevelt seems to have filed a
caveat on all the reforms which might
be enacted. leaving little or nothing
for anybody else. Even the great So
cial problem of the future, the equaIi-
zation of individual opportunity, and
the curtailment of special privilege,
has been anticipated by Mr. Roosevelt
The Republic party is not likely 70
go to the extreme of demanding lin
itation upon personal fortunes nor will
it espouse socialist, but ITS leaders
in Washington believe that if it is to
continue TO exist it must manifest
deeper concern in human welfare. II
must declare for the abolition of the
old doctrine that ito him that hath
shall be given and from him that hath
not shall be taken away" As an IL
lustration of what has already been
done in this direction the course of
railroad legislation is cited. Under
the old system the rich or influential

while upon the poor was placed the
burden of the scent rate. Now
passes have been made illegal and in
nearly all States everybody, rich and
poor alike, pays cents mile. The
most thoughtful men in the Republican
party today are giving the closest at
tention to social conditions in order
to evolve, if possible, some great moral
issue which viii be an effective aid
in the next campaign.
And the recent votes in the Senate

Roosevelt as a Republican Candidate.

There will be many, therefore, who
will refuse to starve outside the
brea>tworks, even though Roosevelt
bids them so to do.
There is one feature of the situa-
ton, however, which is being seriously
considered in Washington. 1t is the
possibility that the Republican party
will go to Roosevelt and make him the
Presidential nominee. At first blush.
this seems impossible. Roosevelt has
apparently cut loose forever from the
Republican organization. But Caesar

where the instrument was waiting.
Chief Operator E. W. Smithers tested
the line just before 2 o'clock and sent
four dots flashing through to Panama

ready. Wilson stepped forward just
as the hands of the White House clock
touched the hour and pressed the,
button, flashing to Panama the cur

A little electric spark, originating
when President Wilson pressed the

balloting of judges by former State

Albany, N. Y, Oct. l0.-Never since
the impeachment trial of Governor

to such a severe verbal tlaying as
Judge Alton b. Parker delivered in
his remarks for the board of mana
gers today.

stands guilty of these offenses charg-
ed by the government, and proved by
uncontroverted evidence said Judge
Parker. Before the bar of the court
of the public opinion this defendant
stands condemned on the further
damning testimony of his shifty de-
fenses and his futile efforts to dodge
by techncalties the trial of the issues
before this high court
Judge Parker did not finish yester-
day. He dealt only with articles l, 2
and 6, the money articles of the i'm
parchment charges. He read into
the record the first complete state
ment of Suffers financial transactions
during the campaign. 1t follows:
Contributions not reported $4,000.
Cash paid to brokers, S40,46250.
Contributions delivered to Sulzer,
s29,3OO.
Cash deposited by Sulzer in bank,
$14,4O0.
Checks endorsed by Sulzer, $4,000.
The purpose for which each con-
tribution was made was set forth as
nearly as possible. The statement
showed that $3.450 of the unreported
had been designated
for use in his campaign.
In his discussion of the first article
Judge Parker said he was amazed at
the eloquence which Marshall could
display in attempting to uphold so
absolutely worthless "a character as
demonstrated himself to be
while on the witness stand.
The governor knew. Judge Parker
said, that when he signed the state
ment of campaign contributions
placed before him by his secretary.
Louis A. Sarecky, that the statement
was untrue"
''The man who read that list and ex
amined it," said the attorney. knew
it was not true 1t does not help him
for Sarecky to say he did the best he
could. His master, William Sulzer,
