' NEW YORK. Aug. 1 I.?Judge Par- g'
Iter's ambition got- a rude jolt to-day
when the New York "Sim" came ont.
fiatfooted for Roosevelt and Fairbanks.
The "Sun" during the ' few
ifigBBS&ears:has-been, perniciously- independent
in its political attitude, and has ac
been especially bitter toward Presi- {
.. . dent Roosevelt. The reasons for its
coarse were various, but chief amon? D
them was Mr. Roosevelt's interven- .
tion in 1902 to end the anthracite J
' coal strike. For this It has denouneed
1 the Presidentwith atrocious ferocity.
Nor was the "Sun" anything l'ke happy
over Mr. Roosevelt's course with ' (
the trust question and it has lost no \
- opportunity -to "throw it into" the administration
with a vigor unparal- .
MM- leled. :
... . ? . \v
;; But with all its idiosyncrasies, and ..
' notwithstanding its captious and tin- '
principled management, the "Sun" is
the most ably edited newspaper in the If
United States. Toward its columns
: 1 all newspaper men. politicians, scfentific
men, intelligent business men
and men of affairs generally turn for ^
" information, enlightenment, critical .

the "Sun" was the talk of the town Q(
to-day and why during the next week
it will be more widely quoted jn
throughout the United States than
any other newspaper in the land. j.
The editorial declaring for Roosevelt ]e
and Fairbanks is as follows: ,v
The Editorial.
"The campaign is now on. Both
parties and both candidates have
. . spoken. tl
"On the one side a conservative par- a,
ty with a radically inclined and erstwhile
too strenuous candidate for
President; and behind him for the j
Vice Presidency, a man of undoubted j
capacity, sound opinions and mental ^
and physical promise of endurance.
"On the other side a radical party,
with an infinite capacity for mischief (
and a stupendous record of mischief I [r
actually accomplished, presenting for rj
President a conservatively inclined
candidate of irreproachable character o1
and attractive personal accomplishments;
and for Vice President one
whoso extreme age is the sole but ,
, ? . (1<
sumcienr reason tor apprenenston in ^
case of his succession to the Presidency
"Such is the choice before the in- ^
dependent voter, and it is the inde- Ia
pendent voter who will decide this {
election.
"He cannot take Judge Parker 011 j_j
the Republican platform and record.
He cannot reject Mr. Roosevelt with- -jout
beckoning to the distant Huns;
without helping to open the gates of j.
power to political forces of unmeasured
destructive potentiality. It j
seems better to maintain unbroken
the wall of defense which the first
election of McKinley established.
"Two things might have happened
to make the choice of 1901 a choice (]
between individuals rather than he
' tween parties standing on their re'
spective records. Neither of the two
things has happened. The first opportunity
was' deliberately avoided
i>y the compromising tricksters at St.
Louis. The second was deliberately
thrown away at Rosemount yester- tc
day. w
An Echo of the Convention. C1
"Barring Judge Parker's gold tele- C1
gram of 1904,. offsetting in some do- c'!
gree his two silver votes for Bryan 01
in 1896 and 1900, and barring a polite c:
anti-second term pledge which might fc
have been made, perhaps, more gracefully
as an inaugural address after si
election, nothing has come from di
Judge Parker's lips or pen to indicate at
that he possesses a single political oi
Idea marking him as a statesman of at
independent initiative, of courage su- w
perior to the St Louis brand, of stat- rt
ure to command and lead. With tho
two exceptions noted, he is an echo of C
the convention, and naught beside, a:
He is yet the unknown quantity that tl
lie was throughout the preliminary w
> period of silence prescribed by judi- w
clal dignity. Instead of rising above H
the platform Judge Parker has crawl- si
, ed pretty ignominiously beneath it, in P
. our reluctantly expressed opinion. w
V He himself has decreed that the ?
choice of the independents shall be C
one of parties'a di-records and prin- r<
c-iplc-s, rather tha. ok men. - It

lysical subtlety of explanation. The
ain consideration is as broad as
:e Nation's interests. As the case
now made up we prefer the impul
ve candidate of the party of conserit
ism to the mildly conservative,
mnorivdnjr. onnortimist reore.senta
ve of the Hun vote in the back
ound.
A Miserable Concoction.
"We have more faith in the (lis
act promises of the Chicago plat
rni. not ignoring the many serious
tfects of that document, titan we
ive in the miserable hell-broth ol
shwater and dynamite concocted ai
. Louis a month ago by a parts
raid to renounce its criminal fit
js, and tasted yesterday at Esopu;
; a respectable candidate who de
ares with gusto that its flavor i.lmirable!
"We shall therefore advocate the
ection of Roosevelt and Fairbanks
id advise the defeat ot Parker ant
avis; preserving our own absolute
[dependence of organic control, ant
tr freedom of judgment as to ever;,
oeeific question occurring. Ant
;ay the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt's
resent mood continue, and it he is
ected may the discourager of pre
pitancy stand always at his elbow.'
Not content with declaring its at
tude on the ticket the "Sun" else
here in its editorial columns asks:
Vre These the Admirable Things?'
id then says:
"Are these, perchance, some of th'c
attires of the St. Louis platforzx
hich Judge Parker so enthusiasti
ijly admires?
"1. The bold assertion of 'liberty
' contract untrammeled by sump
tary laws,' when tlie country was
aiting for a declaration of the Dem
iratic party's views on liberty o
infract untrammeled by the illega
terference of organized tyranny.
"2. The fearless declaration tha
ie rights of labor are certainly no
ss sacred and no less unalienable
tan the* rights of capital,' when wha
as needed was to know whether tht
irty and its candidate regard a:
lually important the enforcement o
ie laws against lawbreaking Iabo
rid lawbreaking capital.
"3. The unqualified approval of th<
lovement to restrict by enactment
i the interest of conspirators. th<
owers of the Federal courts in in
motions and punishment of con
>mpt.
"4. The square denunciation of pro
:ction in the language of the old fre<
aders as 'a robbery for many to en
ch the few.'
"5. The demand for the surrende

reignty and the American flag."
In another column" the "Sun." tin
sr the caption, "The .Secretary o
tate," says:
The Secretary of State.
"As it looked yesterday: Olney, o
ray or perhaps even Grover Cleve
,nd, in case of Judge Parker's elec
on.
"As it looks t6-day: David Benner
il^, of New York.
"What has changed the prospect
he new evidence which the speed
f aceptance affords of Judge Pai
er's admiration for the constructive
atesmanship and political genius o
is old friend of Wolfert's Roost.
"A Hill for a Hay!"
And finally the "Sun" remarks
Theodore! with all thy faults?."
It is understood that Judge Parke
id'not have his picture taken whih
erasing to-day's "Sun."

This way. please! To the extreme
end of the aisle we have one of the
most eccentric of all curiosities. c
BOscol He eats 'em alive! It may be 1
of material interest to those present c
i to know that the real name of thifi ^
freak is Reginald Worthington De- ^
Ptiyster. a former leader of Xeiv ;
York's most exclusive society. Regi- t
nald was a necessary adjunct at a c
! fashionable dinner, and as an epicure 1
i his reputation was supreme. In a
! vain endeavor to find a restaurant
. where he could be properly served
. with* a live lobster his mind became
slightly unbalanced, and as a last re.
sort he was forced to visit the Fulton
. Market in order to satisfy his inhuman
craving for the popular shell in
its natural stare. For the edification
. of the women and children present
. Bosco will now devour a real live
; lobster just as it has been taken
. from the sea. Note how he tears the
f animal to pieces and how he swallows
it shell and all! Verily, it is Bos
co! He eats 'em alive! Step up closer, j
. children. This freak is perfectly ;
harmless. j
; i our uLieunuu is now caueu ro uie *
individual confined in Cage 8, just s
, across the aisle. Oscar . Goldrocks,
; the boy wonder, who lost his mind in
I an endeavor to determine the value (
j of his father's estate. Oscar was j
I just 18 years old when his father, (
. Cyrus G'oklrocks, died, leaving an es- ;
j tate estimated to he worth from $20,- i
.' 000 to $4G,000,000, invested in com- '
, mon stock of industrial combina- *
tions. The boy started to work dili- '
gently at the task before him, but j
owing to the enormous fluctuations ,
in the prices of securities he found .
that he could no sooner determine i
the value of one class than all his t
other calculations were worthless. As 1
:1 a last resort he determined to throw j
all of his stocks on the market re- '
gardless of the price they might
bring, and then at his leisure he (
v could count the money, but in this he ,
made a fatal mistake. He was flood- j
. ed with statements from his broker.
which were so confusing that his
j- mind gave way under the strain, and
! his father's paltry estate went to
found a cot in the lunatic asylum. 1
t You will note, ladies and gentlemen, 1
t that the boy is still at work on his '
3 broker's last statement! He has just
j discovered that his father was bankj
rupt!
3 i
j Before asking you to gaze at a eu- riosity
most extraordinary Mr. Fakem i
has asked me to make a special an- 1
nouncement. Photographs of each 1
and every freak in this wonderful '
* side show are now on sale at the !
main exit for the nominal fee of 50 '
cents each. Beware of imitations!
And now for that marvelous curiosity,
the human megaphone! Step this c
way, ladies! the human megaphone,
or as he is commonly known, the man
with the powerful lungs, was born in
r a boiler factory, where every facility
was afforded him for the development
of his wonderful lung capacity. That
you may fully appreciate the freak
before you it may be said that he has
been known to enter a theatre, take
his seat and make himself clearly
heard in the uttermost corners of
the edifice. If perchance he chooses
to occupy a box he is liable to talk t
in what is to him an ordinary tone, i
. and so keep the audience suessine <
as to whether or not he is part of the i
i? performance. Wonderful is the human
megaphone! Let it be further
said that the figure before you, while
occupying a seat in a noisy railroad
~ car can voice his valuable opinions
for the benefit of those in the next
car, and this without an apparent
effort!
