THE IRREPRESSIBLE CONFLICT
AN EDITORIAL FROM THE NEW YORK WORLD CONTRASTING BRY
AN AND PARKER, AND 8HOWING THE ALMOST HOPELESS DI
VISION OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY—SOME OF THE ISSUES
IN THE GREAT CONFLICT WHICH IS TO COME.
To appreciate the width of the
chasm that divides the two factions
of the Democratic party, it is neces
sary only to read the speeches made
by Judge Parker and Mr. Bryan at
the rival Jefferson day dinners.
Judge Parker preached the old-
fashianed gospel of Individualism and
a strict construction of the constitu
tion. Mr. Bryan preached the new-
fashioned gospel of state socialism.
Judge Parker was willing to admit
the Populist or Socialist to Democrat
ic fellowship, “but he must come as a
Democrat” Mr. Bryan was inferen-
tially willing to admit the Democrat
to Populist and Socialist fellowship if
he came as a Socialist.
Mr. Bryan insisted that Jefferson
would “■tand with the people for the
regulation railroads.” Judge Par-
of November. It is not difficult to de
tect in his utterances a certain strain
of personal disappointment, and in
view of the overwhelming majorities
given to Mr. Roosevelt the element
of implied criticism was in question
able taste. Nevertheless it is a speech
that deserve to be read.
When he declared that “nothing
has so much been needed as a rigid
honest, unyielding enforcement of the
law, both civil and criminal,” he went
to the heart of the trust question, the
rebate question, and nearly every
other public question. There is
enough law to smash every illegal
monopolistic trust. There is enough
law to punish every person concerned
in thp giving or taking of rebates.
There Is enough law to send to the

utterances “support legislation neces- evils of popular government If there

that “the general government must No party lias a monopoly of corrupt
tax and manage all corporations, must
oversee insurance and trust compa
nles, and must either own the rail
roads or dictate to their owners the
minutest details of their business.”
Mr. Bryan spoke of the “notablo vic
tory” won for municipal ownership In
Chicago. He was glad that “the Dem
ocratic platform was broad enough to
include not only the public owner
ship of street car lines, but the public
ownership of lighting plants and tele-!
and demoralizing influences. No party

Judge Parker’s speech was weaken

that it was delivered at a dinner given
under the auspices of Tammany Hall

How Kx-Bnaebmll Kin* Cam*
Leave the Game For Politics.
“How do I feel? Well, say, I guess
•happy’ just about expresses my scntl
ments. Old Chicago still remembers
‘Pop,’ and I’m just as pleased as If 1
had won another pcnnnnt, even if If Is
my first play in the political game. It’s
an earned run for the old man just the
snme. I'm happier for the sake of my
family than I am for myself.” Thus
Captain Adrian C. .Anson, the veterap
ex-baseball king, gave utteranco In ap
preclative tones to his gratification
over the result of the recent city elec
tion In Chicago which landed him Un
der Democratic auspices In the com'
fortablo berth of city clerk, says a Chi
cago dispatch. The victory of this old
sporting man demonstrated that he Is
held dear in the affections of all true
lovers of the great American game, the
old timers, who adored him when they
were “tans” on the bleachers, and their
sons and grandsons who have been told
by their sires of the achievements of
Cap Anson on the diamond.
Asked how he got Into politics, “Pop”
answered in his characteristic wayt,
“Say, that’s a dead easy story to telL
Two years ago, when my friend Turn
Barrett ran for sheriff, I went '6at and
“made little tfAks-for him, and lM
porters wrote up a lot of line stuffP
didn’t say. Then when Barrett Was
elected somo paper said, 'Anson for
deputy sheriff.' Later another paper
mentioned, 'Anson for city treasurer.’
About that time I got a hunch and
thought I ought to get busy and see
what I could do. The 'dope' seemed
good to me. I saw my friends on the
Democratic committee and did some
wire pulling, but when the convention
wns held I went out on strikes. That
was a starter In politics, though, and
when tho last city convention was held
I was nominated for city clerk. The
honor came almost without tho asking,
but it made me fool proud, and I got to
work, and so did my frlonds, and wo
seorod. That’s my political career In a
nutshell.
"About my future In politics? Well,
say, this is crowding tho play a little,
Isn’t it? Yes? There’s a lot in this
noddle,” pointing to his head, "but I
don’t know now Just wbnt it all Is.”
It is given out quietly by some of
Anson’s close friends that the baseball
veteran’s ambition Is to be sheriff of
Cook county and that he will get after
the Democratic nomination when Tom

Mr. Bryan referred affectionately to riod of the laic campaign, when the
Jefferson’s approval of bimetallism Judge’s lips were securely sealed by
those eminent Jeffersonians, “Tom”

han. It would have been more con
vincing if It had not been delivered
to a company made up in so large a
part of Tammany office-holders, Tam
many office-seekers, Tammany law
yers, Tammany allies and beneficiaries
of the Tammany system. The baleful
influence of that unclean crew is not
the least important factor in the Irre-
and his opposition to bank currency.
Judge Parker made pointed reference
to the consequences to the Democratic
party of the greenback and free silver
crusades. “What may seem to be
popular demands are sometimes not
popular, but mere monetary crazes,
which sweep over the community only
to sink faster than they rose,” he
said.
Finally Judge Parker compressed,
his whole case against the Bryan fac- pressiblo conflict that divides
