Elain. III. JUDGE PARKER'S LETTER. ~ FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 23. 1904. AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER. • • • In a ucholarly, concise, thoughtful document of S000 words. Alton B. Parker outlines democratic principles and punctures with a studied, judic­ ial incisiveness every pointed bubble pictured in Mr. Roosevelt's 15.000- word defense of himself. In reply to the policy anti practise of imperialism. Judge Parker point.« to the sacre«l principles of the con­ stitution. He says the government Is now too much centrailxed and the i of congress too far usurped by the executive whose *elf-a«?quired authority is now more powerful than than of a monarch. Judge Touching the high tariff. Parker shows that American goods, protected by a high tariff, are sold in foreign countries cheaper than in the United States, thus imposing outrag­ eous burdens on the American con- sumer. Parker pledges himself to build with all possible expediency, the Pan- ama canal, but he deplores the means employed to acquire the canal rights He deprecates the thought of the strong nation coercing the weak. for any purpose, believing in the exer- cise of broad prlnciples of right be- tween nation and nation, as between man and man. As for the Filipinos, he would bring them up to independence through education and careful train­ ing in government, To despise the freedom of the weak colony will breed a disregard for law and free- dom at home. He declares that the interpretation of the law against the trusts belongs to the federal courts, and cannot be usurped by a president or candnlate for the presidency. The president must enforce, not interpret the liwi Summing up the able letter of ac­ ceptance of Judge Parker, it is a re- freshing change to come back from the daring and brilliant adventures and experiments of Mr. Roosevelt's policy of war and glamor, to a solid. stern, stable, basis of government ad­ ministered with economy and mod­ eration mindful of the righ's and welfare of the masses, with sacr«rd re­ gard for the constitution and with veneration for the principles of peace ■ at home and abroad. • ••••••••••••I ,>"n prs Talk not of strength, until thy heart has known And fought with weakness hours through long alone.

It is 7.91 miles through what is called the Culebra Cut. and the high­ est point to be « ut through 1» 3'6 feet above the level of the canal. In thia cut are 43.237.200 cubic yards of earth and rock to remove, and it is estimated that t will require eight year« to get through thia . ut.
