Fifty men can teli bettor than tarn, Is tho substance of a remark th a t was credited to Judge Parker by wnv ° t rcUovihs him of responsibility tor-de­ ciding among the aspirants for the chairmanship of tho Democratic na­ tional committee,. In this expression he gave voice to a principle th a t his party always professed, th a t the or* ganization is greater than its great* est man, and that “the majority rules” in all matters. The Democratic doc-, trine has always been that the party rules, not tho leader, and in accord, once with that view, no candidate can he considered In comparison with too party which has called him to its pro; tern leadership, Conseauently, the ultimate choice of the people a t the polls must .he between organisatlo is. not men alone; between the records and deeds of parties and their promise, keeping, not their, promise-making, This test, historic with tho Demo* cratic party In profession, and clearly voiced by its candidate for the preb> ent campaign, becomes the supreme datestest in toe pending-presidential campaign as. to both parties and can­ didates. "I khow^ot no way of judg­ ing tins future but by the past,’1 Said Patrick Henry in his 'great speech, “and judging'by the past," the- dif­ ference between the Democratic and Republican parties, as written in their lespective records, is as marked to­ day tn favor of Republican success, warns a s distinctly as It over did against Democratic ascendency. Admit for argument’s sake all that his admirers affirm about Alton B. Parker, and no ono knows at all 'whar he might prove t o 'b e as an adminis­ trative officer,^'.for' he has never bad the least executive experience. Hen- Grant, trained’ to military1 authority, commander of -more than a million men in arms and directing mighty campaigns covering a continent* prov­ ed as president of the United States the need for experience In the peculiar duties there devolved upon. him. -As chief Judge of the highest court of toe greatest stato* Parker should have kept himself completely insulated, from partisan politics and destitute of all preparation fo r the presidehtial position. Thu better judge he has been* toe more he ought to lack the touch- with political men and: 'measures which handicapped Grant's earlier years as president, while he has not had in any way the latter’s surpassing executive experience. These, unques­ tioned facts heavily discount Judge Parltpr’s personal claims for an elec-' tion, for uq one was ever president with such slight preparation for this great executive, office* - , Admit alb'o for argument’s sake, all that his opponents say. against Presi­ dent RphsoVeit, even '■the 1evidently venomous things fropi the enemies he has made by the equitable enforce­ ment of th e’lnws, and'his’unfailing up: holding of Americanism a t home and abroad, yet everyone knows that he ha* demonstrated marked ability as bn administrative officer.

All emaSler elandcrcrp flro over­ shadowed ir. toe Democratic tonic;, ky their candidate for president. ■If any ' man was over put .up for president o f ; tho.United States by any Treat parly, who personally mafia fate© and foul accusations against his opponent, n o ; such .ease can now bo called, to mint!. The Mulligan letters and tho cliilfi'c • tombstone incident' used against Blaine in 1$84; with the "rum, Roman*1 ism- anfi rebellion" concoction never came from Grover Cleveland.' Gen­ eral Hancock personally would have scorned to employ the Credit Mo- kiler, th e DeGolIyer and toe 520 scan­ dals circulated against Garfield, Lin­ coln was called, a “gorilla" and Grant "too drunkard/.’ McKinley was ma* .ligned, and Mark Hanna traduced, but never by personal speech of too op; position candidates for president. All this makes Pfokoc’s perform­ ance a t ICsopus Oct. 24 only the more conspicuous. In th a t speech he took up the anonymous accusations equal­ ly Implicating Roosevelt and Cortel- you, in which they were 'charged with using the power of too department of commerce and labor to compel cor­ porations to contribute to the cam­ paign fund of ;the Republican party-. The way .Parkpr p u t It, Re seemed also to include a somewhat earlier scandal, explicitly stating that- Roose­ velt had mado a bargain wiht J, P. Morgan 'for trust support. This was so -Infamously false that toe great papers of genuine independence never ceased to denounce it, add th e jour­ nalistic professor who put if.fo rth ‘was finally compelled to confess that* 'I t was false and without foundation. In the case of the Cortclyou accusa­ tion, the papers starting too story claimed to have explicit evidence, hut flatly refused to produce, an iota of testimony .when challenged, * Theodore Roosevelt is t h e ‘map ac­ cused tin ,the attack upon- Cortelyou, for Roosevelt.'is responsible for Cor­ telyou and would h e ' the last man Ip America to dodge his Aiwa responsi­ bility. Therefore, when Parker takes .Up th e s e ' .COrtelyou scandals days after they have been denied complete­ ly, explicitly and emphatically, Ms attack is not upon' Cortelyou, chair­ man of toe committee, but upon Theo­ dore Roosevelt, president of toe United States. Seeking that position himself, Parker, smirches toe high of­ fice and .its ' present incumbent with no other apparent purpose than to gain some votes for his own, candt- daej.' He does it deliberately, too, .these being the very first words.of his cold blooded address:, "Appre^ d ating the responsibility pu t on me’ by too Democratic party and the duty which acceptance imposed on me, I have carefully considered tho utter­ ance I am about to make,” What is this' "carefully considered utterance" which follows, filling a nowspaper column or two? I t begins th a t since Mr, Parker wihtdroW from politics, where he conducted a cam­ paign to elect D. B, Hill governor of •New York, in 'which election frauds were charged upon both and never state; as.Civil service o oWrmigsjgflgrj as assistant; secretary of the navy; as military commander, he has ■been growing right along in executive ex­ perience and in'knowledge of public affairs, so that whop suddenly called upon to assume the duties of presi­ dent of the United States, not even the shock of the tremendous tragedy that put him jn power lessened the flrplness of his grasp upon his re ­ sponsibilities or shook the reasonable- Aess of his' discharge of his great dutte. Pledging himself to carry forward William McKinley’s work as well as one can complete another’s tasks, Theodore Hoosovelt has kep t that promise and has, proved himself a great president. The 'attacks upon him are only such as Washington and Lincoln, Grant and M'Ktnley, suf­ fered. Ills election will he no experi­ ment, will not cause do a single Inter­ est an Instant of uncertainty. Matters Wilt move right on, surely and stead­ ily, the day after the vote in his favor,, without a moment’s doubt or dread of 'th e difficulties that a sweeping change of administration to Parker’s party would tiring upon toe country. Therefore, looking at this matter of toe men themselves, toe public prefer­ ence In every stato of free political ac­ tion Is clearly for Theodore Roosevelt for president, strictly upon the merits of the case, without personal or par­ tisan feeling. Believing th a t It is best for business, almost all who 3eek to advance the Interests of business stand by Roosevelt, rather than risk the overturn Implied In Parker’s dec* tion. . More than all that Is personal to cither candidate, however, Is th a t fea­ ture of this great/question so aptly suggested in Judge Parker’s remark quoted above. Were the one man tofi Worst that he is painted, distorting a ilfo singularly frank and open to all the world, and tho other endowed with all the virtues imagination wreathes around him for campaign purposes* yet back of both, and controlling both, are the records and tendencies and the overmastering power of tlielr re­ spective parties. - compares'these care­ fully and candidly and completely and ever? voter must consider th a t Dem­ ocracy dominates Parker and Repub­ licanism rules Roosevelt, find that the final decisive vote must be between, these two great and entirely divergent acts of principles, which have been In pefpcinat controversy for gom-ratenm, and between their reunite nn shown ty tlieh* rteords.

This change is the con­ tribution to campaign funds ’by cor­ porations, in alleged consideration of administration protection. He says that 'such "contributions have been not unfrequcntly made In such largo' measure as to Induce a,nd ' procure colonization, repeating and bribery In doubtful states.” One might refer In this ‘ connection appropriately to tho sugar tru st and Standard oil influ­ ences and the other combine control that financed Parker's defeat of the broad-guage Democracy of the West. One might also note that none hut Parker’s supporters are Opposing the attempt to’ypnrge tho /toting lists In New York City of tho names of dead men And other methods of repeating. Passing that, however, we have toe direct charge th a t the present aim "is to buy elections, to purchase four years more of profit by tariff taxa­ tion, or four years more of extortion from the public by means of monopo­ lies.” We have an insinuation sneak­ ed in about "a Campaign contribution of $500,000” teom one trust. We have the direct statement th a t "tbeso in ­ terests •have decided to attempt, to continue the present administration in power” , ■’ This Is a tremendous accusation, without an iota of evidence presented In its support, but Parker descends deeper yet, He accuses not merely Cortelyon and Roosevelt, but, the American people. He says "St is com­ mon knowledge” (still without a name or hit of evidence) that "the combine#' have determined to furnish fiufch a sum ol money to toe Republi­ can national committee, as it is hoped Will seottro these 'floaters’ in the doubtful states for tho Republican ticket,” And such talk eqmea from & man asking the people to vote for him a s president of the United States a# A candidate of toe party Whose "only living ex-prenldent” says that it has not changed etheo Rurimtmn ran for president.

It convict# tom of deliberate intent to deceive- the peo­ ple, of malicious purpose to -malign- his own country. This candidate for president of the United States did n o t need to wait for word from the Philippine islands. Abundant refutation came from com­ petent witnesses a t home. Blihu Root pointed ou t to him the two vol­ umes .of American laws for toe Phil- • ippine# an,a their.h igh and humane character, of which Parker .was ignor­ ant, u$ shown ,by his speech. Mr. Root also made plain th a t Parker-was entirely in error in what he said about the shipping of ' the islands. -Mr. Root also pointed out th a t the island..’ tariff is the lowest the Philippines have ever had* that too island rev­ enue under American rule has ex­ ceeded toe expenses by $11,000,000 in, addition to all permenant improve­ ments, with lower .and- mare .-equal taxes than the islands ever had, and that-their,trade is,double that of the, ■ best Spanish years and increasing, , A dozen other point's Of importance, in Parker’s specifications wore fully ■1 refuted as toe fruit of long months, of personal investigation i of ‘ conditions in th e islands -by William E .

O ther' evi­ dences equally convincing Comes from the -most , experienced'1'observers among foreign-travelers; and still more significantly from Filipinos them* - selves, a t prerent in tire United States and formerly conspicuous' in Aguinaldo's government. ‘ ’ Stronger yet, If possible, Js tho cumulative evidence of some o f' the most prominent men in different ro-‘, UgOUs bodies, who- have visited th e Philippines. Methodist Bishop W. H.

Meth­ odist Bishop Fowler recently spoke to tho same effect. Rev, G. F, Pente­ cost, Presbyterian, says that America Is'in the East because "God and hu­ manity needed her there/’ Confronting such evidence one might think that Parker, pleading,for American votes, would he glad to withdraw his assertion that the United States was destroying the lib­ erty of a foreign people and acting tho part of a tyrant and oppressor.
