STO E Both Phones 4x1-4x5 Main Street. (From Mr. Bryan's Commoner, April 8, 1904.) Mr. Cleveland's nomination is out of the question, although he is the first choice of the plutocratic element In the Democratic party. Mr. Olney has removed himself by his advocacy cf Mr. Cleveland's nomination, and Mr. Gorman's chances seem reduced to a minus quantity by his failure to secure the co-operation of the Democratic senators in his position on the Panama question. Mr. Hill is not a possibility, but he has taken up the candidacy of Judge Parker in the hope , of making himself the "power behind the throne:'' As some of the Democrats are considering Judge Parker as a "harmony" candidate, it is important that the real nature of his candidacy should be examined. He is first of all Mr. Hill's candidate, and that in itself would be sufficient to raise a suspi cion in regard to his position on public questions. The Hon. David B. has a legislative record that enablss us to easily ascertain his position on public questions a record so antagonistic to the Democratic party that he refused to give any open support to the ticket in 1896, and did not even disclose, un til some two years after the election, how he voted. In a letter written shortly before the election he told a New York Republican that he had not decided what he would do, concluding with the statement, "I am a Democrat still very still."" Mr. Hill has made himself the cham pion of Mr. Parker in New York, and it is not likely that he would do this without having an understanding with Mr. Parker as to his own position with the administration. It can be safely taken for granted that in case of Judge Parker's nomination and election Mr. Hill would be the controlling figure in the administration, and that would mean that those who attempted to reach the White House would have to wade through peanut shells knee deep. Mr. Hill stands for everything bad that Mr. Cleveland stands for, and lacks the brutal frankness that has given Mr. Cleveland most of his popu larity. But Mr. Hill's support, danger ous as it is, is not so detrimental to Judge Parker as the corporate support which is gradually gathering about him. The Washington Post recently described the situation as follows: "In the meantime Parker stock has been having a little boom. It is now almost generally conceded by Demo crats here in Washington that he is the most likely candidate. Many mat ters have taken shape to help him, al though the attitude of the New York Democrats still worries the party lead ers. Judge Parker so it is learned here from men who are in close touch with the thought ch the financial and business world has, through appro priate channels, given assurances that if nominated and elected president his administration will be conservative. He will see to it that the large inter ests are fairly treated. This campaign of enlightenment from Judge Parker is described as progressing methodi cally, but with dignity. The judge's attitude on many of the questions be fore the public are not well known, but, none the less, business men in high places are being acquainted au thentically with his views in outline. "The driticism of the magnates against Judge Parker has been that he had not been tested. They could not tell what he might do should they turn out and seek by heroic efforts to place him in the White House. Should their efforts succeed, he might not, after all, be able to conduct a safe administra tion.' But there is distinctly a better feeling in business quarters toward him." There is no doubt that the corporate interests have an understanding with Judge Parker, for without such an un derstanding they would not think of supporting him. The decision in the merger case shows how important it is that president should be In sympathy with the people rather than in sympa thy with the corporations. The three judges appointed by Mr. Cleveland dissented from the opinion of the court, and as Judge Holmes stood with them, it would only require one more judge to change the decision, even if Judge Brewer's separate opinion does not already indicate the probability of an adverse decision in another case. If Judge Parker were nominated by the influence of the corporations and elected with the aid of their contribu tions, is there any doubt that his ap pointees would be corporation men? Can the Democratic party afford to lend itself to a movement to so make up the supreme court as to nullify the efforts of the people at reform? To iecure remedial legislation the people tnust have not only the house, the sen ate, the president, but the supreme court also, and as the members of the iupreme court hold office for life, that department of the government Is hard est to change: As president Judge Parker might appoint one, two, or ra three supreme justices, and his ajh pointmenta might Bar the way to re lief for ten or fifteen years. Can the , party afford to take such a chance? ! Judge Parker has -been before the country as a candidate for a year, and in all that time he has never expressed himself upon a single public question or indicated his views on a single is sue. Can we afford to nominate a question mark? If so, we need not be surprised if the voters indulge In ex clamations. -; ' .; Democracy's contest with plutocracy Is not a sham battle or a make believe fight. It is a terribly earnest struggle, rfnd the decision in the merger case has pointed out with great distinct ness the possible result of a mistake in the selection of a candidate. There are hundreds of Democrats whose sym pathies are with the masses of the peo ple and whose opinions are known men who have had more experience in political life than Judge Parker, and who would poll more votes on election day. Some of these men have been mentioned; others have not. Surely among those who have bean proposed or might be proposed it is possible to find someone who will give voice to the Democratic conscience, and lead a charge against the cohorts of organ ized and predatory wealth. If Mr. Panter were a man with a record, if his convictions were known and his position on public issues clear ly defined, Mr. Hill's championship of his cause might not be sufficient to en tirely destroy his availability, but with his opinions unknown and his aspira tions in the hands of Mr. Hill, it is not unfair to regard Mr. Hill as the keep er of his conscience, and who is so poorly qualified to keep anyone's con science? The fact that Mr. Parker is an enigma ought to remove him from consideration, and the situation is made still worse by the blight of Mr. Hill's support. When to this is added the overshadowing danger which the merger decision has pointed out, is it not time that the honest, earnest, loyal Democrats awake from their lethargy, lay aside the thought of compromise, and begin an aggressive campaign to save the Democratic party from the menace of corporate control? If Mr. Parker is nominated it must not be as a "harmony candidate" it must be with the knowledge that he represents the same element, the same influence and the same methods which during Mr. Cleveland's second admin istration led the Democratic party through "the valley of the shadow of death."

Home Phone 445 The report of the Governor of Porto Rico for the year ending June 30, 1903, has just appeared in printed form, and it is an interesting document. It shows the remarkable improvement effected in conditions on the island un der American rule, and renders pre posterous, in the l?ght of subsequent events, the frantic oratory of the "anti imperialists" against the acquisition of the island and the government of its inhabitants as "a subject people." However terrifying the prospect may have seemed to these self-appointed defenders of human rights, four or five years ago, there can be only one rea sonable conclusion as to the effects of the course followed by the United States, and that is that American rule has produced more progress and cre ated more comfort and contentment in six years than resulted from centuries of Spanish control. Gov. Hunt in his report sketches the history of the period of American control. He says: "It is a clear truth that no military government could have been more lib eral and benign than that which ob tained in Porto Rico for the twenty one months prior to the establishment of civil government. The record is of the highest honor throughout. Not withstanding this, however, the substi tution of civil power for military in Porto Rico was a very radical change for the people, for the plain reason that with the essential form of one came responsibilities and powers which they could not have known un der the other. Indeed, so great was the alteration of affairs that numbers of prominent Porto Ricans themselves honestly feared for the immediate re sults of transition. The people were inexperienced in any form of liberal government; they had been accustom ed to paternalism for nearly four cen turies; they knew but little of the language, customs and methods of American people; they were used to obedience to orders of military author ities, not to laws made by themselves. and they were strange to the duties and rights of civic self-control. More over, they were depressed in an eco nomic way, because They were still suffering from the effects of the ter rific hurricane of August, 1899, when the coifee plantations had been prac tically laid to waste. Such, retrospec tively, were some of the conditions ex isting when on May 1, 1900, the ent form of government was ed, and in studying the changes or passing judgment upon the record of the institution of self-government in the island, what there was and was not at the beginning must not be lost sight of. "Surely, therefore, the results are gratifying; they stand to prove the wisdom of congress in conferring civil government upon the people; they sustain the statement that the people are docile, intelligent, and kind; that the island is a fertile and rich coun try; and they justify the confident ex pectation which we hold that as ad ministration progresses improvement will continue, and that in any situa tion which may arise the people will be found loyal to the United States, anxious to co-operate in every forward movement toward the patriotic and pres- implant- Drs Peterson I osteopathic 35 S OUTH TENTH ST !
