In Nehra.ska the UHtle cry Is the "People vs. Mickey Ism!" Tiik opposition tn Mickey and Mick oylsiu In Nebraska should unite In the defeat of the greatest coniliinat Ion of corruption of which the commonwealth was ever Infested. Now that the democrats have Indors ed In their St. I.ouis platform the Kreaflowa Idea" or reciprocity and fair play, It seems to have lost most of Its fascmat Ions for (iovernor Cummins. Wisconsin democrats will try their luck luialn with the author of " reek's Had Hoy" as their candidate Tor gov ernor. Me was elected governor In ism', when republicans were split Into acrimonious factions, and now they are in the same tlx airaiu. Kiev. I'.dw Alio Kki.i.kv. a Uoiiian Cat hollo priest of Chicago, returning from a visit to the Philippines recent ly, adds his testimony to the over whelming volume already existing that the Islands can never he of the slight est value to the I'lilted1 States and ought to lie got rid of. Kvi'.KY morning after breakfast F.ll liu Root carefully lifts from his trunk the presidential mantle which I loose velt thoughtlessly bestowed on him when he left the cabinet, carefully ex amines It for moths, and wondering If lie had better risk It, In the contest for governor or put It In cold storage. Tiik tariff iifslnn Is not Incompre hensible. Kepubllcans Insist upon the tariff primarily for protection and In cidentally for revenue; democrats ad vocate a tariff primarily for revenue and Incidentally fur protection. In other words, democrats would anxious ly guard the tax-paver and consumer. IIknuy U. Mavis, acknowledging that lie was a silver man inthe senate, now says, "Conditions are entirely re versed. The country haschanged, the people have changed, financial methods have changed, and the reasons I had for favoring silver have all been real lzid." Me Is to marry a widow of seventy-live summers. Nohman V.. Mack, national commit teeman for New York, thinks the dem ocrats will w in by carrying the solid south, the border states of Kentucky, West Virginia and Maryland, and New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana, lie thinks we also have a fighting chance In Illinois, Colorado and Idaho. "Fi'sion, or no fusion," seems to he the question of the hour. If the pop ulists and democrats want to down Mickey and Mlckeyism, fusion seems necessary. Hut If they desire that ele ment to still continue to "rule and ruin," don't do It. The duty of the sober, sensible element of both parties seems very plain. Nat ioual and state politics widely differ. An'Kit the !Mh of this month W. J. Ilryan has announced he w ill place him self at the disposal of the democratic national commlttec.and make speeches fcr Parker andlavls. He Is willing to lie sent Into such states where the com mittee think he can do the most good for the advancement of the Interests of the candidates and for the rood of democratic principles. Tiik News published an article in one of its Issues last week, purporting to l taken from the Now York Sun of four years ago, favorable to Roosevelt. Why don't It publish one of the Sun's re cent editorials? Hecause that great paper Is supporting Judge Parker, be lieving him to Ik-far superior to Roose velt In everything that goes to make a safe, consistent and able man to pre side over the destiny of the great Am erican Republic for the next four years, at least. Tiik presidential nominations have caused an immense revolution In the New York City newspapers. In the two last campaigns the Journal was the only large New York paper that supported Hryan, Now all of them, ex cept the Tribune, Press and Mall sup port Parker. Some of the papers that opposed Hryan, and are now friendly to Parker, are the Times, the Sun, the Herald, tbeStaats-Zeltung, the World, the Evening Post and Ilrooklyn Eagle. This Is a hoary phalanx.

P rhapshe Istlie only repub lican In tlm First district lilted Tor congress and the only fi'ie in the state that is qualllled for the senate. Wo hadn't thoughtof that. (!) Somk of the little one-horse republi can papers seem to be considerably en thused because the Sacramento (Cal.) Hee hascoineout forTeddy. Hut they won't mention the fact that about a dozen big metropolitan Journals in the east that supported McKlnley four and eight years ago are now supporting luilge Parker. Wind-jammer F.liner Hurkett, After everything hi sight, Afraid lie won't get one, llolils onto both very tight. He's tin' only man of brains He'd like the people to believe- In the great state of Nebraska, And thus he tries to deceive. M-uik Mouton came out from Chi cago Tuesday to show his authority at Nebraska City by tearlngdow n a union card In Levi Urns.' livery barn. When this act became known, there came very near being another "Mot Time In the Old Town!" Hut the union com pelled Mr. Morton to replace the card about as quick as lie tore it down. I m m Km a I'ki.y after the nomination of Judge Parker at St. Louis, many western democrats were disposed to pronounce themselvesagainst hlm.aiid they were not slow in saying so. Hut gradually as they learn more of the great standing of the democratic standard-bearer they begin to speak more favorable of him. As between the can dldateof imperlallni and the candidate favorable to a continuation of a repub lican form of government, they will support Parker In preference to Koose velt. Tins todeiuocrats: Hoes not the St. Louis platform suit you better than republican plat form? Don't you be lieve that It w 111 be lietter for the coun try generally to elect Parker than It would he to elect Roosevelt? Do you favor free government Instead of Im perialism? lo you favor a tariff for revenue only, or do you favor a tariff to protect the trusts? Parker favors the former proposition, w hile Roosevelt fa vors the later. Parker favors a white man's government while Teddy favors negr i equality. When you compare the two platforms, and weigh well the Important questions before the coun try, you will not belong In deciding In favor Alton H. Parker, the eminent Jurist, and against Roosevelt, the great blunderbuss. Is niKiiK anywhere In these I'nitel Stales another Instance where a man was permitted to run for representa tive in congress and for I'nited States senator at the same time? Was there ever a party in any other state who have so many able and deserving mem bers as the republican party of Nebras ka who are as far superior to hid Jammer Hurkett in ability as the teacher Is superior to the ten-year-old kid under his tutorship, who arc com pelled to stand aside and give him pick and choice of these positions? It Is actually a discredit to the republican party not only of the state hut also to the party of the First congressional dis trict, that such a state of affairs exist. Hut they do, and the Wind-jammer continues to do the two-horse act with as much precision as the double-bare-back rider In the tw o-ring circus, while the big men of the party have to con tent themselves with looking on at the performance. Roosevelt ond Imperialism. It is Roosevelt and Imperialism, or Parker and a republic? The New York Herald In Its leading editorial of July savs: "Three years of Roosevelt as presi dent have cleared away all allusions as tohisldeals. His conduct In the "Moat ing" of the Panama Republic, his ruth loss disregard of public sentiment In the south, his dictatorial assumption of authority In every department of the public service have sumcod to show the people that his Ideal govern ment Is Imperialism, that he regards brute force as the equivalent of right and his will as the equivalent of le gality. ' Are these qualities desirable In a a President of the United States? This Is a question the American people will be called upon to answer at the polls. "The people will have to 'decide. "Mr. Roosevelt represents Imperial ism. J udge Parker represents democ racy as it is understood by our fore fathers, the signers of the Declaration of Independence, as It was understood by the men who fought for that inde pendence and as it should he under stood by us who have inherited that Independence." Alton B. Parker's Courage. j Mi n's lives speak louder than their j words. What we are stands up and thunders over what we say'. What we are mav give tin? lie to our protesta-1 Hons, or it may enforce them. It Is well when a man speaks both with the hfe and w ilh the lips. If ei'r courage and character U. In the career of any man, they s,e.tu , in that o! Alton H. Parker. What Id- ' Is, the man's s 'lf, his character ami life, towers far above the courageous : words uttered to the cmu'iitum and Hi)-country. ! In his career Judge Parker has hewn : u.i me imc, iemng me chips ran as they might, lie. has had the courage to strive for one thing and to reject all Interference, overcome all obstacles and deny all temptations to depart from his path. It has been a courage Involving monumental self-denial. Few men born of women would have hail thccourageathlstlmeof youth to decline an appointment as Assistant Postmaster-fieneral of the United States. Few men would have had the courage later on to refuse the gover norship of New York. Few men still later would have declined to become a Senator of the United States. Hut this man, with the grip and handshake suggesting somewhere in the remote past a Scottish ancestor and the twinkle of the eye hinting an Irish vein of humor, had a deep-formed pin pose, a sober purpose rooted in his youth, to carve out a judicial career; and nothing could shake it. Having accomplished the ambition of hlsyears, nothing less than the nomination of his party for the presidency of the United States could tempt him to leave the high Judicial post attained through a course of extraordinary struggle, even hardship and the most prodigous labors. Had Judge Parker desired hud he yielded Ids purpose he could have had a career as varied as that of Roosevelt and one as tilled w ith olllclal, execu tlveand federal honors. Ills first great temptation came when he was but a Surrogate in Ulstercounty. The office of Surrogate corresponds to our county and probate judgeships. At that time le represented the Ulster county con gressional district as a delegate to the democratic national convention. Mr. Cleveland, on assuming his presidential duties in Vi, recognized the etlicicut political service rendered by Surrogate Parker and offered him the position of First Assistant Postmaster-General; hut Parker had resolved to stick to his profession. Much against his will, Surrogate Par ker was dragged into active political participation In issr. Hill had been nominated for governor and a manager of the affairs of the democratic state committee of exceptional ability was required. Ira Davenport, who appar ently had the support of the republi- ins, had been nominated to oppose the democratic ticket. Parker man aged the campaign with such skill as to elect the whole ticket. In the fall of that year Governor Hill appointed him to till a vacancy on the su preme court bench, created by the death of Judge Westbrook. Parker did not decline this otllce it was in the line of his ambition and life pur p ise. In the fall of lsoi he declined, not withstanding the Insistence of li is per sonal and political friends, to be a can didate for governor. The nomination was his for the asking, but he proved his determination to limit himself to the Judicial career until it should have attained the top notch. In the same year he refused at the same hands and for the same reasons the great political and statesmanly honor of the United States setiatorshlp. It wasthe oiler of the majority party. It would have been his for the taking. He had the courage to continue In the path. In HK)2 he again declined to become a can didate for governor, when that honor, too, might have been his. Ills personal popularity and political power might have been relied upon to defeat Odcll. Arriving at the honor of the chief justiceship of the New York court of appeals, Judge Parker Justly set his ambition upon the presidency. The Judicial success had been achieved. It was perfect, full and substantial. The New York court of appeals is one of the most exalted tribunals In the world. It Is the highest paid tribunal In the world. There Isbutone Judicial honor which Is greater than Its chief Justiceship a place on the supreme bench of the United States. From the exalted post which Judge Parker held ambition leads but two ways to the supreme court and the presidency. Justice Peckham recently took the for mer path. Judge Parker's purpose led in the latterdlrection. His vast polit ical knowledge and experience, his In timate association with great men, his touch with the affairs of the nation qualify him for the dutlesand respons ibilities of the executive position. while the natural bent of his mind, his education, his readingand study of the world's greatest statesmen led him to ward statesmanship. The statesman Is greater than the lawyer or Judge- he combines them both with the ele nients of leadership. The lawyer and ludgc are merged In the greater char acter and stature of Alton II. Parker. The Imposing leadership of the man stands forth already with his noiuina aiiou. His is the courage of leader slop His is the intellect, the charac ter and the will to command. It is tl e coinage which captivates. In the leadership of democracy's candidate i hi-re Is that powerful inspirational ..uality which con virtstliegre.il public into a -i-:s"i,;i'. f"lloui!ik' and makes -...ci i'ss assiiii'.l. The Two Platforms. I SVw York W urlil.i The democratic platform Is definite and decisive in its treatment of the Philippine question. It says: "We in sist that we ought to do for the Fili pinos what we have done already for the Cubans, and it is our duty to make that promise now." The republican platform is not so di rect, but It is no less decisive. After declaring that "we" have given the Filipinos the largest civil liberty they ever enjoyed, the convention used this ominous language: "Ryour possession of the Philippines we were enabled to to take prompt and effective action in the relief of the legations at Pe- kin and a decisive part In preventing the partition and preserving the In tegrity of China." In other words, the Philippines must be retained as a springboard, from which the United States can leap from time to time into the arena of Asiatic politics. We are an eastern as well as a west ern empire now, and nothing that promises to get us into trouble Is for eign to us. There can he no mistaking the sinis ter meaning of the republican platform or the attitude of the administration. The Imperialistic elements of the re publican platform or the attitude of the administration. The Imperialistic elements of the party regard the Phil ippines not only as a province to gov ern, but as a base of operations from which to push our way Into the eastern continent. The administration is al ready committed to the theory of ex- tendingour Oriental trade at the point of the bayonet which is the real slg- nigtlcance of Mr. Hay's open-door policy. The Chicago platform shows that the party is only waiting for new op portunities to meddle-opuortunlties almost certain to come when the In evitable Asiatic concert is called to de cide the question of supremacy grow ing out of the war between Russia and Japan. To balance the big stick in the west we must have a big stick in the east. Meanw hile the doctrines of the declaration of Independence are indef initely suspended. A Sweet Breath is never a failing sign of healthy stom ach. When the breath is bad the stomach is out of order. There Is no remedy In the world equal to Kodol Dyspepsia Cure forcuring indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach disorders. Mrs. Mary C. Crick, of White Plains, Ky., w rites: "I have been a dyspeptic for years: tried all kinds of remedies but continued to grow worse. Hy the use of of Kodol I began to Improve at once, and after taking a few bottles am fully restored in weight, health and strength and can eat whatever I like." Kodol digests what you eat and makes the stomach sweet. Sold by F. G. Frlcke&Co. $3.00 To David City and Return Via Burlington Route.
