Parker of New York will Accept Nomination if David B. Hill Is Un available-Secrecy Maintained In the Post Office Investigation. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Washington, D. C., May 28.—The country generally will be glad to hear that Judge Alton B. Parker, of New York, la “a candidate” for the presi dential nomination on the democratic ticket. The mysticism surrounding the Judge, his identity and his services, are likely to be succeeded by a sys tematic effort to acquaint the country with all the features of the Judge’s personality and policies that until now have been subjects of debate. The Judge, according to a promi nent New York politician with whom I had a long talk here the other day, and who does not desire his name used in connection with this inter view, has declared that he will accept the nomination if former Senator David B. Hill is found unavailable This revelation was made not more than eight days ago and my inform ant is not the only person to whom the “tip” has been given by vord of mouth. The Court of Appeals of the State of New York is presided over by Judge Parker, who, by the way, was elected because the Low fusion ticket de clined to indorse Platt’s candidate for the Chief Justiceship of the Court of Appeals. More than a hundred thousand votes for Low were blank on the judicial line. Thus, Judge Parker got a handsome plu.ality, not because of the votes he got, hut because his opponent did not receive 140,000 votes he ordinarily would have received. The Judge was a minority candidate. * * * There are now many persons dis cussed for the democratic presidental nomination. Richard Olney, Alton B. Parker, David B. Hill. Arthur P. Gor man, Grover Cleveland, Senator Wil liam J. Stone, of Missouri; Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio; Judson Harmon, of Ohio; Adlai E. Stevenson, of Illinois; Ben. T. Cable, of Illinois; Represen tative Williams, of Illinois; Gov. Gar vin, of Rhode Island ; William Jen nings Bryan, of Nebraska; and Wil liam Randolph Hearst. From this list you can select a gold democrat, a silver democrat, a single taxer, a jurist, a politician, an old man, a young man, an easterner ora western er. You can pick a short, tat man, or a long, thin man. Ycu can have a garrulous man or a reticent one. You can have a jolly man or the sad man. You can find a rich man or a poor man. You can find some who cannot be either nominated or elected. You can find some who can be nominated but not elected. Who is the ideal of the list? Who is just old enough and not too old young enough and not too young, rich enough to wage a great campaign, Jeffersonian enough to satisfy the most exacting democrat, brilliant and resourceful enough to pit against Hanna and bis crew, generous and philanthropic enough to relieve dis tress and the results of disister, broad enough to regard the whole people, conservative enough to appeal to honest wealth as a true conservator, progreWve enough to encourage trades unionism and be regarded as its best friend? Who is the man v ho polled the greatest vote ever cast for any candidate of any party in New York, the man who taught Roosevelt and the North their duty to the South on the negro question, the man who fought for the ticket in 1890 and 1900 as no other person not on the ticket fought for it, who, in brief, is the humanitarian the American, the pa triot? Without disparagement to any one else on the Let, I can truthfully say there is but one man who cun answer this description. I need not name him. His name will suggest itself to every democrat in the country. * * * There is so much secrecy about the investigation of the Post Office scan dals and such an air of mystery main tained by the department officials that the newspapers and the public are justified in believing that the loot ing and mismanagement is even worse than it really may be. It evidently is the intention of the Postmaster Gen- -OUR LINE OF. j I Sandals, Oxfords and Slippers is the most complete yet shown.

There is a growing feel ing here that a corrupt department cannot thoroughly investigat- itself, and that the whole thing will have to be investigated by the Congress. And who is there who believes that a re publican Congress will honestly in vestigate a republican department when every man hurt will be a repub lican and the administration hurt will be a republican administration. The only way to get at the bottom of these things is to elect a democratic Congress. It is up to the people. * * * President Roosevelt is giving each ore of the members of his cabinet a chance to show his prowess on the stump. The latest to be ordered to the front is Secretary Wilson. So far he has not ordered Mr. Payne out. It might be rather embarrasing for Mr. Payne to explain the rottenness in his department. -j, * * * The Porto Rican smuggling scandal has taken on a much more serious phase by the declaration of the offi cials of the Department of Justice that ‘the action relative to the dis missal of proceedings in these cases was upon the orders of the Cabinet and that they came from the Presi dent himself.” The above quotation is from the Washiagton ‘‘Star,” which is well known to be the admin istration organ, and what it says must be taken as coming with authority. This acknowledgment that President Roosevelt ordered the proceedings against the army and navy officials dismissed, is an extraordinary usurp ation of power unwarranted by the constitution. Th, President has the power to grant pardons, but the power to compromise felonies before con viction if allowed to pass without serious objection might in time grow to be a prerogative of the executive which would in the hands of a tyrant, allow his partisans to commit crime and no proceedings at law to be taken against them. The laws must be obeyed by the President and the peo ple alike, or in time despotism and even anarchy might overthrow all the safeguards granted by the Bill of Rights. The President has certain powers granted his office by the con stitution, and they are very great, hut to be judge and jury is not one of them. No wonder conservative peo ple are becoming alarmed at Roose velt. Charles A. Edwards. INDIANS BAFFLED. The 1’ale Face (IlautH Prove Their Supe riority on the Diamond, A very interesting game of ball was played at Jefferies’ Ball Park Tues day afternoon between the Gaffney team and a picked-up nine composed of players who had retired from the diamond. It was astonishing to wit ness the alacrity with which the old boys went at the ball. In fact, they played in good form and went at the Indians in such style as to do them up to the tune of 8 to 7. Richardson and Humphries did the twirling for the Giants, while Derbin Jones did the stunt behind the bat. For the Indians. Hopper and Clar ence Jones were the battery. The following was the iine-up of both teams, and the score by innings will show that neither side had a sinch on the game until the last man was put out: Giants. Humphries & t Richardson f Jones.

Giants 0 2 0 2 1 1 1 0 1—8 Indians 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 3 0—7 DIAMOND DOTS. “Ice” and “Chas” were in old form and pitched good ball. The Jones boys, Clarence and Der bin, are hard to down when it comes to doing the stunt behind the bat. Ed. Clary made the prettiest catch of the game, a sensational running catch. Hopper pitched great bail and played to win. He can’t help it if some of his men go to sleep while running bases. Brown was up to his old time col lege tricks. Lipscomb wtnt after the ball with less ceremony than he goes after a tooth. The Indians need to connect the ball and bat more frequently. The Indians aver that they allowed the Giants to win simply to encour age them in order to get them to play another game. This will probably be done next week when they expect to scalp every-pale face that has the temerity to show himself. During the game Mr. Boyd Barratt, a spectator, had the misfortune to be hit by a foul ball. He received the blow on the side of the head and was felled to the giound. The injury was painful, but Mr. Barratt has about recovered from the effects of the blow. There will be a game between Gaff ney and Bhelby next Tuesday after noon. Quick Arrcnt. J. A.

[All Communications to this column should be addressed to P. O. Box 504.1 Colors have more to do with the suitability of a material to the woman at fifty than the material. To put it gently, it must be admitted that as women grow older complex ions must be consulted, and that women cannot afford to be reckless in their selection of colors. A bright, strong color can seldom be worn with any degree of becomingness, by an el derly woman, whereas if she keeps to low, subdued shades she is compara tively safe. It is on the little points of dress that the success of tne older woman’s appearance really depends. Such things as the arrangement of the neck and the waist line are tell ing points in her toilette.
