PARKER'S SPEECHES IN THE SOUTH.
EX-JUDGE ALTON B.. PARKER, who, some' may
remember, was the "Democratic candidate for
president in 1904, is swinging around the south
ern" circle addressing state legislatures and other bodies,
and teaching them his ideas of true Democracy. .As a
corporation lawyer at a big. salary and a. political crony
of August Belmont and P. H. McCarren, he knows all
about his.Wjrt. ftf In his'speech-at-Charlotte,
North Carolina, Friday, he plainly, whetherjntentionally
"or riot: exposed tirraml and purpose , llf has evidently
been sent down south by the plutocrats calling them
, selves Democrats to try to induce the south to take no
forward step, to stand again by Ne'w York Democrats,
as represented by Belmont, McCarren, Hill, Cleveland
and himself. He tells that section it should take the
lead. What be means is that the south should stand in
again with the Wall street lamb-shearer and plutocrats.
- "In 1896," he says, "yon tried Nebraska, and since that
day no old Democratic northern j state has elected a
United States senator, and in none has there been a
friendly governor" Yes,-they tried Nebraslcain-1896,
. and in 1900-and in 1904 they tried New York--and
" Parker. If comparison is to be made, Nebraska makes
- by' far the better showing. Parker admits that in 1904
: ?you returned again to New York for your candidate
only to meet -nrt defeat in our party's history."
' .Yes," and Parker was the candidate.
" But why- did he say no old' Democraticnorthern
state? Oregon has elected'a Democratic governor, and
Oregon is 47 years old. , Minnesota is not a very young
atate, and it; has a Democratic governor. Massachusetts
is not an infant as a state, and last year it elected a
Democratic governor. Ohio considers itself of age, and
it has a Democratic governor. But none of them are
;governorsi--f-the-BelmontrMcCarrentripe.: Parker
evidently never heard of these incidents. He was never
50 miles west of Wall street in his life before, nor 50
inches in thought And what does he mean by "friendly
I, governor "Friendly" Jo what and to whom ? He does
- not say. "When such conditions confront you" as
. Democratic paralysis "why should, you persist any
longerr he asks. Well, looking at 1904, and at Parker,
whom the south nominated, why indeed? Parker not
only could not carry a single northern state, but he lost
Missouri, and if he should run again we verily berieve
j, e would lose half the south.. Why "persist longer?"
"Why shouldyou not assert yourselves?" he- asks.
They did, in 1904, and if they "asserted themselves" in
the same way once more there wouldn't be any Demo
ciaticjparty even in the south.
He. wants to drop "isms," but gives no hint of what he
means-by "isms!" Railroad control ' is one, no doubt.
He wants the party to "group the great moral issues,"
but, gives no hint of what tbey are. Pat McCarren is a
fine representative of "moral issues," isn't het Parker
' says nothing on any really live question now before the
people, except the tariff, and of course the trusts expect
him to dilate on that, He is as dead, so far as his
' speeches go, to what isreally going on in jhe country,
to the great reforming if not revolutionizing movements
'f the people, as a mummy that has lain in an Egyptian
aarcophagua i,Q00 years. .-
ANOTHER RECALCITRANT WITNESS,
'E HAVE NO EXCUSE for the trust magnates
and corporation officers who refuse to answer
(questions put to them in a trial, as to their
affairs -which-the' public has a right to inquire into, but
" ;we' confess some measure of approval of and sympathy
with Miss Minnie Gaillard of Texas, who is ifi New York,
in her refusal to answer District Attorney Jerome when
" he asked her to tell her age. She declined to answer, on
the ground that her age was a purely private matter,
having no' bearing on the case, and therefore nobody's
business but het own. Jerome, defeated in the, contest
of wits, attempted intimidation, and threatened impris-
onment,.but thisonly brought to the-surface Miss- Gail
lard's scorn. She did not tell her age, and she did not
go to jail. , ; ' -y -
- There are cases in which the age of a person is per
tinent, and perhaps Jerome thought it so in this ease;
snore likely Miss Gaillard was right, and tliat it wasn't.
When it is not necessary, the question, especially in the
cite of a spmster who is no longer in the bloom of
youth, is an impertinence. But whether so or not, there'
. is no force slfort of 3be thumb-screw and rack, which
cannot be resorted to in llis country, to compel a woman
io tell ber age, when it has ripened into a personal and
secret possession.' . i j ' ; V-'...

that needs reforming badly enough. ..;.' , ' .
The association appealed to Secretary KbotTo inTeTesT
Himself officially In, the rnatteii but he -declined, wisely tis
we" think." The United States," helhformenhe associa
tion, is a signatory party to a treaty for the suppression
of the slave trade and the regulation of the firearms and
liquor traffic in Central Africa, but the carrying out of
this policy is left to those powers having possessions or
spheres "or mfluencein -Africa,-and let us be thankful)
the United States is not one Of those powers. Our only
function in the "matter is to capture slaVe ships if - we
should run across' any within certain limits. .The sec
retary also intimates that, while he would like to see bet
ter government in Congo,-It is a difficult proposition,
perhaps five times as difficult as our job in the Philippines..-
-. i.J : " ' j;- .'
This may be a: slap at the Boston anti-imperialists, but
what-aeema, to need reforming is. King Leopold's ideas
and methods of the goyernroent. of Congo... According
to the literature of the association, Jhe, Congo Free State
is held by King Leopold of Belgium as his personal prop?
erty. This vast territory, equal in area to all the coun
tries of western Europe combined, he treats as he would
a crown estate. While slavery has ostensibly been abol
ished, the people are practically hhriiaves. He imposes
whatever taxes he pleases, and as the people iiave noth
inir to- nay with he makes them work for him. This is

wives and children, who haven't firearms or liquor, as
the soldiers have. If the men complained they were told
to get more rubber.. The good white father at Brussels
needed it in his business.-.-.j...... il.:.
There are many more particulars, some of them too
horrible- to print, and the literature of the association is

Leopold's Congo subjects have been killed, directly' or
indirectly, and women and children- worse than killed,
and so King Leopold's work of civilization and benevo
lent assimilation goes bravely on; but, as Secretary Root
says, the. United States has troubles of its own, and can
do nothing about it officially, and probably the Congo
Reform association cannot accomplish much; but let it
try. ' . '- ' - w -.. .
A right thing to do would be to take old Leopold down

YOUNO MAN, ASK: WILL IT PAY?
HE MISERABLE ENDING of the career of Sen
ator Chauncey M. Depew for it is about ended;
."the evening shadows fall" ought to he a lrsson
worth" studying .well and pondering deeply by every tal
ented, educated young man, fitted to enter upon a public
career, and ambitious for its honors for such they
should be considered and are if that service is well per
formed. Let such'a young man consider Depew at the
outset of his public career, follow him through his va
rious activities, noticing closely their nature, and then
behold him now, and beholdmg-'askrthe question did it
pay? ' . .' . ,- ...:-:.. . . . . . .
Chauncey M. Depew graduated from Yale at 22, stud
ied law nd began practice at Peekskill. He was urbane,
talented, had a good presence and a winning way,' and in
1862, when 27 years old, was a member of the New York
legislature, where he soon became a favorite and a mem
ber of influence. Now there was the start What a bril-
4iaMcteTwar''Cpched"up torthaf "young" "man:
"If "he
had been' true to the people and to himself and, young
man, ia public-lifeoneJnvolYesthe others there is no
possible separation of them what honors in these 44
years would have been bestowed upon him, what a vast
amount of good he could have done for the country, how
his name now in hiaold age would have been venerated,
how he could have looked back over a career full of great
honor and usefulness, and forward unafraid.. Instead of
being permitted by. iheJVanderbilts to go to the senate
when old, a morally ruined man fo25 years, lie could
have gone there in the early- prime of life and remained
at will, as Hoar did; he could have been a Cabinet min
ister, an ambassador abroad,4 very -likely could have
been president. He could have been one of the very
foremost men in the nation today. He would not have
had so much money, though he is not very rich, as wealth
is counted now in New York, but he might have been all
this, almost surely; and now look at him, young man who
wants to get into public life, and ask yourself did it pay?
Did what pay? Why, treason to the people while in
public office, the sacrifice of a notedly brilliant career to
become the salaried lobbyist and professional briber for a
gang of as great thieve as ever infested the earth, the
Vanderbilts. Well, he was paid $100,000 a year for many
years and put in the way of making many thousands a
year more; he was a bon vivant and had "a good time;"
he served his masters well,; and they paid him but poorly;
he is a senator, butJobk at Jiitn, and ask your soul did
it pay? ,' , ' .
. In 1864. Depew was elected secretary of state and so
gerrymandered the state that even the Republicans were
ashamed of him and would not renominate him. Then
he got employment of the Vanderbilts, sold himself to
them, became nominally junior counsel but really briber
ofjegislatures and dcspoiler of the people. He got
through franchise and stock-watering bills whatever the
Vanderbilts wanted, was their "chief agent in robbing" tlie
people of properties and privileges amounting now to half
a billion dollars. He was a cheap man, after all, for
Graham Phillips in the, Cosmopolitan Magazine says, "it
would be a moderate statement that the geniality of
Depew. has cost the people of the state of New York a
thousand . million doUars." Cheap for the thieves; but
dear for the people. - As capitot building commissioner
he helped rob the people of -millions. .Some one. once
asked Roicoe Conkling what he thought of Depew.
"Depew?" Conkling replied, "you mean the fellow Van
derbilt sends to Albany every winter to say 'gee and
'haw' to his cattle there?" As a driver of legislative cat
tle. Depew was a success. "And . for reward," Phillips
says, "the VafTderbilts have given him scant and contemptuous-crumbs
Aftet40l years, ofjaithful, indus
trious and to his masters enormously profitable self
degradation, avaricious and saving though he. is, he has
not more than five, millions. And they tossed hint the
scnatorship as if it had been a charity."
But he served others than the Vanderbilts, Hyde of
the Equitable, for instance, and stood in with-various
species of high finance grafting. .lie is or was lately a
director in 73 corporations, and the income for merely
attending their directors' meetings amounts, to $50,000 a
year,, and, yet he hasn't evert great wealth to show for a
whole life' of prostitution of good talents. What is he in
the senate? No more a servant of the people of New
If this be true, it is good news, and the dressmakers
for once deserve a unanimous vote of thanks, not only
from millions of tortured women but from millions of
admiring and sensible men. The distortion of the fe
male form produced by the corset aa worn by the present
generation is bad enough considered from an artistic
viewpoint, but the ills and diseases the headaches, and

"JUDGE' HAMILTON HAS A SAY.
HE INSURANCE THIEVES are falling out to
such an extent that there Is a brighter" prospect
. than ever that the honest policy holders will get
their dues -hereafter, even if they never recover anyjof
the stolen millions. "Judge" Hamilton burst in upon the
legislative committee at -Albany and said a few things.
He was not in a good humor. In no choice language he
accused the insurance ; . directors and : particularly the
auditihgcommitttesT 0f making scapegoat of him dur
ing his absence, and of trying. to shift the blame to his
shoulders. They kftew just how much money he got
and what it was for. He did nothing except what be
was hired to do-and they knew what it-waa and how
much money he received. lie might be . i"yellow dog"
but "a -yellow dog -has courage and fidelity, but, these
men are curs, having neither of these virtues; cur who
will shrink within tiiemselve8rcfr'horn"Tottcnnot

Well, we guess the Mjudgeto1d--tlie tmtli. He was a
boss lobbyistracorrupter-of legislatures, -a-fixer-of4aws
to suit the "curs." It is a shameful business,, though per
haps he doesn't realize it; but he has a right to consider
himself superior to these men who stole the money and
then tried to put the responsibility on him. He ad
mitted that he was a "yellow dog;" that is the best he
could say for himself in this business; but the others

BE DIGNIFIED AND
RESERVED
rr By Beatrice. ,ralrfsjc.
Olrls, I wonder If you appreclat how
Important It I that, .you should hoM
yourselves a little in reserve In regard
to your friendship with men.
Don't grow to look upon thera as old
friends by th second or third meeting.
Hold back; make them understand
that they must make som effort if
they want to know you.
Don't rush into friendships with men
about whom you knew nothing.
Tour men friend should be properly
Introduced to you and vouched- for by
om reliable person.
Th habit of striking up acquaint
ances without Introduction is a vary bad
one.
A girl know nothing' whatever about
the man ah thua becomes acquainted
with in this manner.
Ha may be all right, but ah run th
risk of hi being all wrong.
And -no matter what he Is he will not
havo much respect for th girl who
holds herself so, cheaply that she allow
a Strang man to address her without
rebuke. .
- Tou know, dear glrlay that a girl can
be dignified and modest without being
In tho least stiff or prim Just remem
ber this In ytfur friendship with men.
Be marry and jolly; have good tlmo,
but don't let them feel that they can
treat you with aught save respect.
Don't talk too freely; learn to -know
the man before you let him know you.
Don't tell him all your secrets and
your family matters the first time you
meet him. .
A man thinks far more of the girl
whom he has to exert himself to please
than he does of th on who 1 too easy
of conquest. ;
The girt who Is bold and undignified
may get a certain amount of attention,
but it 1 valueless. Men quickly tire of
hMin aaear fh girls who ara modest
and well behaved, as weir a pleasant
and Jolly. ' - ,
A man may flirt with a girl for whom
he haa no respect, but he doe not marry
Choose your men friend carefully,
girls; select decent, manly men. whoso
friendship will be of benefit to you. .
