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 penitentiary evef^ alderman that L ~ legislator that "POP” ANSON’S HOME RUN her *neeredf at the thedry that “the proper way for a government to do ■tfifyi™ vot f^JBry public servant things is by Interference or med- that, tetraysjffinrust to 'a corporation dllng.” | TheWJ* enough law already on the Mr. Bryan declared that Jefferson’s statute books to cure most of the utterances “support legislation neces- evils of popular government If there sary for the complete regulation and were only “a rigid, honest, unyielding control of transportation lines.*' “I government.” It Is not law, but fear- believe,” he said, “that regulation less, faithful administration which the will ultimately lead to public owner- country most needs, whether in city, ship. To avoid the danger of central- state or in national government—“not lzation I would prefer to see the new crusades, but vigilant prosecu- trunk lines owned by the Federal gov- ting officers and honest appeals for ernment and the local lines owned popular support.” by the several states,” Judge Parker j Unfortunately, no party has a mo- spoke with contempt of the notion nopoly of neglect in enforcing the law. 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 has monopoly of the men with sin’ ter purposes. The moral effect of Judge Parker’s speech was weaken ed by its environment—by the fact that it was delivered at a dinner given under the auspices of Tammany Hall —tho Tammany Hall that has become a synonym for faithlessness to public trust and cormpt betniyal of public interests For all that there is much to com- Burrett - his old friend, steps out. 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 Oculist.

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 tlon Into two sentences in which he Democratic party, declared that It is not enough that How much of the popular support the Democratic party should have “a'Riven to Mr. Bryan’s Socialistic pro- collection of fads—some of them use-! paganda is due to the corrupt alliance less and some of them dangerous and between Tammany and tho publlc-ser- opposed to the historic position of vice corporations and to the lessons our organization.
