Mr. Parker's Qualifications
for Governor.

AS we pointed out last week
Mr. Parker has spent IL great part
of his life lighting the democratic
party, and four years ago he was
a candidate for governor on the
Progressive - Republ. can ticket.
Hi, friends are now making a
great to do over the fact that II
1916 he supported Mr.. Wilson
tor president. This was nothing
more than what was done by
something like half Il million other
independent Republicans who also
voted for MIR. Wilson, and does
not in any way entitle him to the
votes Of the Democrats Of Louis
lana for governor Of the State.
But we 90 further and submit
that Mr.. Parker is not entitled to
the support OF the people whether
they be Democrats. Republicans,
or pendents. He is entirely
too cbangeable. He does not ap.
pear to know his own mind for
any consi :erabIe length of time.
What we need in that Office is a
man with definite convictions
and settled purposes, who can
formulate policies and stick to
them. Mr.. Parker's whole public
life shows that he is wanting in
these qualifications. This much
from the standpoint of the citizen
without regard to considerations
touching the interests OF the
party. From the latter stand
point it would be entirely unsafe
to trust such a man in a position
as head of the party. In view of
his record in the past no Demo-
crat could be certain what he
would do.
As was pointed out by Mr.. As |
we'll in an interview in Washing
on last week, a democratic presi-
lent will be nominated next year, |
md, let us hope, elected.
What will Mr.. Parker do in
hat matterg Will he be a Dem
,crat next fall! Having changed
lis politics SO often in the past,
What assurance has any one that
'e will not use the power and
Prestige of the Office to defeat the
democratic party!
If he should be elected he could
say that he owed his
uccess TO the independent and
conference.-the voters of til e

Boston, Sept. l0.-Lawlessness was
rampant In Boston today. with In

citizens were left to their wi re-

Since the. police struck at 5:45

been no organized police power able
to cope with the situation that last
night approached anarchy and today
appeAredy to grow more serious.
Want More Troops.
Governor COLLAGE at noon said he
had been informed that the mayor OF
Boston had forwarded a request for.
additional state troops. Orders were
prepared Immediately to call u the
tenth and twelfth regiments Of the
state guard infantry, located in Mid

QUESTION OF
WAR OR PEACE,
SAYS WILSON
(Contnued from page !

Should the movement for world
concert fail, the president said, the
heart of mankind would be over
whelmed by a despair" which would
result in chaos.
Men in despair don't construct
governmental" said he, they destroy
governments. If we stay out or if we
qualify u acceptance in any way,
then the werld will say, there can be
no peace"
If the world were in disorder, asked
the president, who would buy the
wheat Of the United States? All the
processes Of international economic
rehabilitation, he said. waited on a
complete peace basis, because the
great coal fields OF Europe were not
being worked to capacity and the
whole industry Of the world was
Chilled"
while we debate" he went on.
"all the world is raging today. Why
does America hesitate? 2" -.
He declared there was no more dan
ger of America staying out OF tho
league eventually than Of reversing
all the other processes Of her history.
But It was the delay, he added, that
wa ~upsetting affairs everywhere.
Covenant Necessary.
Referring to proposals to separate
the peace terms from the league COW
enant, MI. Wilson said the covenant
had been put first in the treaty be-
cause without It the rest of the treaty
would be worthless. That conclusion
was reached unanimously at Paris, as
serted Mr.. Wilson, because the peace
conference realized that having set
up q peace settlement, there must be
some way to enforce 1t.
Replying to objections to article 10
Of the covenant, Mr.. Wilson reiterated
without the assent Of the United
States, under the unanimous vote re-
quired for action.
Unless It's our war" he continued,
I'VE can't be dragged into a war with
out consent. That's an open and
shut proposition; it's the heart Of the
treaty. You have either got to take
or you have got to throw the world
back into that old contest over land
titles. There Il no other way to quiet
the world and IL the world isn't quiet
ed. then America sooner or later will
be drawn into the melee"
The president asked whether any
one thought the United States could
stay out Of the league without being
hated" and intrigued against by, the
other nations. should the American
nation refuse to accept the treaty, he
aassrtod, 1t would be In the position,
Of repudiating Its p~roudees to those
who fought the war and Of saying 1t
did not liko what had been accom-
pltshod by its armed force. The pe0-
pies Of Europe, said the president,
ARE In Q revolutionary state Of m6nd,s'
land In danger OF .s1ubstttutfng one
kind Of A~utocracy for another"

Curtain Rises For

final hearing Of tho Neil Macdonald
fight for the Office of superintendent
Of public instruction was held before
the supreme court Tuesday afternoon.
When Miss Nelson appeared to take
once, Macdonald refused to. give up
his place, and the supreme court
ousted him largely on the showing Of
the election returns. Neil then
brought suit before Judge Nuessle in
district court, claiming Miss Nelson
unqualified, not having a certain
grade Of teachers certificate. Judge
Nuessie in Diminishing the case re-
marked to Macdonald: "You haven't
a leg to stand on" Macdonald took
an appeal to the supreme court. Evil
fdence submitted and arguments were
almost identical with those made in
district court before Euessle.
