MR. PARKER'S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE. The letter of' acceptance issued last Sunday by Mr. Parker, is in no respect a remarkable document. It does not express a single new idea, or present a single new argument in favor of placing the Democratic party in power. It deals solely in the often repeated and always refuted charges of dishonest dealing on the part of the Republicans, and promises of great good to the people if the Democrats are allowed control of the government. He says: "Tariff reform is one of the cardinal principles of the Democratic faith, and the necessity for it was never greater than at the present time. It should be undertaken at once in the interest of all our people." And it should be undertaken, Mr. Parker thinks, by the Democrats. Does Mr. Parker not remember that only a few years ago he leaders of his party made (he same assertion, and the people, unfortunately, accepting it as true, turned the government over ta their control with the request that they revise the tariff system. They gave ihem the president and a majority in each house of congress. They had full power to revise or remodel the tariff and make it unto any form the "Democratic faith" might require. What did the Democrats then do? The Democratic majority in the House got up a bill which they said was just what the people "wanted. They passed it and sent it to the Senate. The Democratic senators at once- began wrangling over it. They commenced a revision of the Democratic House bill and they covered it with (HO amendments. They "reeised" it out of all shape, it had no longer the appearance of a tariff bill of nnykind. It was changed in to a measure in favor of one of the greatest trusts in the country. Then they passed it and sent it back to the House. Democratic members of the House didn't recognize it, they refused to vote for it. Put they did vote for it and passed it. And this mutilated and deformed measure was sent out to the country as the best effort the Democrats could make toward a revision of the tariff. And now Mr. Parker, notwithstanding this aAvful failure of the Democrats, wants them to try it again. The people will be apt to reply, "thank you, Mr. Parker, we have enough of Democratic tariff revision, we prefer to let its friends revise it, when re vision is needed." But is tariff reform one of the cardinal principles of the Democratic faith, as Mr. Parker asserts? It is difficult, from the confusion of tongues with which the. Democracy are accustomed to talk, to understand that they have faith in anything. Mr. Parker addresses his letter to Mr. Clarke, of Missouri, and makes him the medium of communication with the people. Therefore we have a right to believe that Mr. Clarke is a Democrat and an authorized exponent of Democratic principles. Mr. Clarke has declared that his idea of tariff reform is to "destroy every custom-house in America." He has said, speaking of custom-houses. "If I had my way, sir, I would tear them all down from turret to foundation stone, for from the beginning they have been nothing but a den of robbers." He has openly declared himself a free trader. This was a few years ago and as a Democrat changes Ins "cardinal principles" about every Tour years, Mr. Clarke may now be a tariff reformer, but as lie has not repudiated his free trade declarations we must suppose he plants his reform on a fre trade foundation. Mr. "Williams, of Mississippi!, is the acknowledged k-adr of the Democrats in the House of Representatives and of course an exponent of Democratic principles. He too advocates free trade as one of the cardinal principles of the Democratic faith. He has said: "As a Democrat who believes in free trade, or the nearest possible approach to it, T rejoiced in the. passage of the Wilson-Gorman bill. Not because the tariff features of it were Democratic for on the contrary, they were protective but because the act contained

the income tax. There was within it a germ from which something approaching free trade might have come by evolution." Thus it will be seen that the Democratic idea of tariff reform is free trade, and that it is this sense that Mr. Parker refers to it as "a cardinal principle of the Democratic faith."

ROOSEVELT'S FAITH. Some of the Democratic critics of President Roosevelt's letter of acceptance say that he is egotistic in claiming that he and his associates in the government have done more for the country than the Democratic party could possibly do if it were to come into. power. What they mistake for egotism is simply the faith of an honest, earnest man in the cause for which he stands. The keynote of his position is sounded clearly enough in his letter: "The principles which we profess are those in which we believe with heart and soul and strength. "The policies we have pursued are those which we earnestly hold are essential to the national welfare and repute." In saying that he speaks for his associates, Hay, Root, Taft, Knox. Moody, and all the others with whom he has been working during the past throe years. Everybody who has come in contact with him during that period knows the keen joy that he has experienced in his work a joy that has sprung from the consciousness that he was carrying into practice the principles and ideas of government which he believes in with his whole heart and soul. Could there be a more justifiable joy and pride than this? Roosevelt is an intenseAmerican. He believes in his country with every fibre of his being. He believe that certain principles and ideas carried out in its government will develop that country's power and glory and prosperity as nothing else can. He feels that the accomplishments of the past three years have demonstrated that his ideas are sound. What could be more natural, therefore, than that he should rejoice at the opportunity that lu has had to serve his coxmtry and to advance it before the world? Could there be a more lanbable pridrt than this? Can any fair-minded critic deny that the things over which Roosevelt rejoices are worthy and have been of high value to the country? Has not the level of administration in all branches of the government been raised? Has not the standard of efficient conduct be lifted? Did. any other-' national administration achieve so much that advocates of good

government have' 'desired as his"' administration has achieved? Why. then should he not rejoice, and why should he not say. without affectation or equivocation or circumlocution: These things we kave done: we believe them to be good; we are proud of having keen able to get them don: continue us in power and we will continue to d the san.e, and as much

AT THE FAIR S. M. RUTHERFORD MEETS S2VERAL HOME PEOPLE. WELL LEASED WITH T Can Live Cheaply or Scatter Your Wealth to the WindsRoom For All. Correspondence of the Palladium: St. Luis Sept. 20. Richmond is well represented at the Fair just at present. The first man I saw that I knew upon niy arrival in the city was our County Auditor, the courteous and gentlemanly Hanes. The following is a partial list of the Richmond people who were here last week: Mr. and Mrs. John Marshall, -Miss Alice Price, Misses Lena ami Rosamond Myers, Mr. ami Mrs. S. K. Mor gaii, Miss Elizabeth Townsend. Mrs. Henry Gennett, Miss Rose Gennett, Mrs. Bolinger and (laughter. One party of congenial spirits seen quite frequently together was Miss Elizabeth Townsend of Richmond, Miss Myrtle Iledrick of Muncie, Dr. Cofield of Cincinnati and the County Auditor, Mr. Hanes. They are ail bright, wholesome, agreeable young people and were enjoying the Fair immensely. The social side , of the Fair is certainly considerably interfered with from the fact that in the main, the state buildings are located so far from the central and more attractive parts of the Fair that they can not be made in any sense popular resorts. To me it seemed that these state buildings and the social side which they appeal to should have had larger place in the grtat Fair. But still the very immensity of this exhibition City's plan may have rendered this impossible or even undesirable to the greater number. It is the opinion of those best qualified to judge that the Fair is a distinct advance upon anything that the world has previously known. In the mat ter of the transportation exhibit, the marvel that it is, one's imagination staggers before the task of adding an other detail. This growth of the means of transportation is shown delightfully and in laborious detail from the ox team to the stage coach, the train with no rails used in Fiance in 1709, on and ever on till the seem, ing perfection of the Empire Ex press astonishes our eyes. The perfection reached by transportation facilit ies is. the force which has made a unit of the vast and scattered domains of our Uncle Sam. It ha disl sipated the fears held by the 'founders that the time must come when our country must divide from the physical necessity of the very remoteness of its parts. Theresa re crowds of people here but still there is i worlds ot room. Ion can live chean or scatter your wealth as is s en fit. flood rooms can be had in plenty at from 50c to 1.50 per night and good meals from 25c up. Rortns are to be had in the greatest plenty. St. Louis is fairly thrown open to the accommodation of visitors to the Fair. Very truly, S. M. RUTHERFORD. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Warner leave this evening for St. Louis to attend the Fair. YOUR TRIP to Los Angeles or San Francisco will not be perfect unless you use the CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY either on going or returning jour either on the going or returning journey. It has the grandest and most wonderful scenery in the world, which is in full view fro mthe train for 600 miles, or can be viewed from the many mountain resorts along the line. Stopovers Allowed.
