The course was adopted in prefer

could have purged them of CON

punishment and ended the case.
The fact that they did not seize

Here is Alton r. Parker. whose
death reminds us that he was once
the victim Of this very stupidity.
The Democratic party put him up
because, after two failures with
Bryan. is contracted a severe case
Of New Yorkitis.
He was a good man, a good citi-
zen and a good lawyer, but all that
was overshadowed by a cut and
dried touting Of his conservatism.
They pictured him as perfect
antithesis Of Roosevelt, not because
he was, but for obvious political pur-
poses.
They guessed that the country
wanted a perfect antithesis of Roose-
welt and made a tragic mistake.
Now the Republican party is
guessing what the West wants, al.
ways with its eye on this years cam
paign and that of '2S. 1t is not the
genuine relief for the farmer or any.
body else that the Republican party
wants but any old thing that will
keep him in line until the votes are
counted

 Schedule Continued.

Boston, May 13 P}-New England cotton mills stand to lose hundreds of thousands of dollars monthly if railroads cancel commodity rates now in force, D. L. Taylor, spokes- man for the national association of cotton manufacturers declared to- day.

 Today's meeting was before the New England Freight association. "Wo feel that New EngIand's textile industry cannot stand the additional burden which the abolition of tho rates will mean" he said. Higher transportation costs practically will cripple many of the mills which are able 10 do business under the exist ing rates"

Color Ser geant and Roycrofter have lost their places among the certainties. The former is out of it. Roycrofter, by his recent performances. has become doubtful in the minds of turf writers. Barcola, Navigator, Prince of Wales, Marengo and My Colonel have slipped quietly from the spectacle, but, with one or two exceptions, may come back.
