that he is speaking to intelligent people. men and women who read and think, and that his utterances challenge their credulity and awaken distrust. Mr. Beveridge has discovered unexampled prosperity among all classes of people, and tells his audiences that they were never better off than they are today. Yet there were in his audience at the time many men who were employed by trust factories and who have been idle for months. According to Bradstreet. the number of business failures in 1904 were greatly in excess of the number for a corresponding period in 1903. And this, too, when every Republican Is shouting prosperity In our ears. One of the most pleasing things about Judge Parker's letter of acceptance is the total absence of anything like braggadocia. He presents the questions of the campaign with calm dignity, earnest force and with no attempt at display, and In this regard his utterances are in strong and pleasing contrast with those of President Roosevelt. The latter went to his task wdth the air of a man who knew he had a bad cause, an exceedingly bad cause, to defend and that it was incumbent upon him to hide its weak points by a continuous show of the spirit of the bully. Judge Parker, on the other hand, addresses himself to his work like a man who is conscious of the strength of his position and who does not need to resort to bombast in order to cover up defects. The two letters will go down in history as illustrating two distinct phases of American character —one of them earnest, hopeful, patriotic, the other impetuous, ■ undignified, illogical and narrow. When Senator Beveridge begins his speaking next and gives his list of good trusts, he ought, by all means, to include the Republic Iron & Steel Company which has dismantled plants at Terre Haute, Marion, Frankton, Alexandria and New Albany. These plants were torn down and the machinery sold as junk for no other purpose than to get rid of competition. The Indiana Senator would do well to enumerate them In his “good’’ trust list and point out to the people where the benefits to them come in. There are many workingmen, now out of a job, who would be glad to listen to a tale of prosperity as resulting from dismantling factories and throwing them out of work.

Mr. Fairbanks, in a moment of inadvertence. practically indorsed the ship subsidy bill in one of his speeches. \\ non he saw Ins words ,in print and weighed their meaning carefully, he entered a denial, saying he was misunderstood. Just why. he should deny that he is now for a ship subsidy when he voted for a bill that was pending in the senate, needs explanation. It might be suggested that j a campaign is now on, whereas one j had just been closed when,his vote | was cast for the ship subsidy steal. It sometimes makes a difference whether an election is before or be j hind the politician, and this seems to be thje case with the Indian senator.
