ROOSEVELT'S PENSION ORDER
Democracy Favors Liberal Pensions but Denies the
President’s Right to Usurp the
Power of Congress.
KEYNOTE OF PARKER’S LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE
The Issues of Tariff Reform, Imperialism, Economical
Administration and Honesty in the Public
Service Reviewed.
Esopus, N. Y., Sept. 25.—Judge Par
ker’s letter of acceptance of the Dem
ocratic nomination for the presidency
was given out to-day. It is as follows:
To the Honorable Champ Clark and
Others, Committee, etc.:
Gentlemen—ln my response to your
committee, at the formal notification
proceedings, I referred to some matters
not mentioned in this letter. I desire
that these be considered as incorpor
ated herein, and regret that lack of
space prevents specific reference to
them all. I wish here, however, again
to refer to my views there expressed
as to the gold standard, to declare
again my unqualified belief in said
standard, and to express my appre
ciation of the action of the convention
in reply to my communication upon
that subject.
Grave public questions are pressing
for decision. The Democratic party ap
peals to the people with confidence that
its position on these questions will be
accepted and indorsed at the polls.
While the issues involved are numer
ous, some stand forth pre-eminent in
the public mind. Among these are
tariff reform, imperialism, economical
administration and honesty in the pub
lic service. I shall briefly consider
these and some others within the nec
essarily prescribed limits of this letter.
The Vital Issue of Imperialism.
While I presented my views at the
notification proceedings concerning this
vital issue, the overshadowing impor
tance of this question impels me to
refer to it again. The issue is often
times referred to as Constitutionalism
vs. Imperialism.
If we would retain our liberties and
constitutional rights unimpaired, we
cannot permit or tolerate, at any time
or for any purpose, the arrogation of
unconstitutional powers by the execu-•
tive branch of Our government. We
should be ever mindful of the words of
Webster, “Liberty is only to be pre
served by maintaining constitutional
restraints and just divisions of politi
cal powers.’’
Already the national government has
become centralized beyond any point
contemplated or imagined by the fram
ers of the constitution. How tre
mendously all this has added to the
power of the President! It has devel
oped from year to year until it almost
equals that of many monarchs. While
the growth of our country and the
magnitude of interstate interests may
seem to furnish a plausible reason for
this centralization of power, yet these
same facts afford the most potent rea
son why the executive should not be
permitted to encroach upon the other
departments of the government, and
assume legislative, or other powers,
not expressly conferred by the consti
tution.
The Magnitude of the Country.
The magnitude of the country and
its diversity of interests and popula
tion would enable a determined, am
bitious and able executive, unmindful
of constitutional limitations and flred
with the lust of power, to go far in the
usurpation of authority and the ag
grandizement of personal power before
the situation could be fully appreciated
or the people be aroused.
The issue of imperialism which has
been thrust upon the country in
volves a decision whether the law of
the land or the rule of Individual ca
price shall govern. The principle of
imperialism may give rise to brilliant,
startling, dashing results, but the
principle of Democracy holds in check
the brilliant executive and subjects him
to the sober, conservative control of
the people.
The people of the United States stand
at the parting of the ways. Shall we
follow the footsteps of our fathers
along the paths of peace, prosperity
and contentment, guided by the ever
living spirit of the constitution which
they framed for us, or shall we go
along other and untried paths, hither
to shunned by all, following blindly
new ideals, which, though appealing
with brilliancy to the imagination and
ambition, may prove a will o' the
wisp, leading us into difficulties from
which it may bn impossible to extri
cate ourselves without lasting injury
to our national character and institu
tions? .
The Tariff and Trusts.
Tariff reform is one of the cardtnal
principles of the Democratic faith, and
the necessity for It was never greater
than at the present time. It should
be undertaken at once In the Interest
of all our people.
The Plngley tariff Is excessive In
many of Its rates, and. as to them at
least, unjustly and oppressively bur
dens the people. It secures to domestic
manufacturers, singly or in combina
tion, the privilege of exacting excessive
prices at home and prices far above
the level of sales made regularly by
them abroad with profit, thus giving
a bounty to foreigners at the expense
of our own people, its unjust taxation
burdens the people generally, forcing
them to pay egcessive prices for food,
fuel, clothing and other neceassrles of
life It levies duties on msny articles
nor normally imported in any consider
able amount, which are made eaten
*lve|y home, for whPh the most *x

and practically to monopolize the home
market.
Many Duties Imposed.
It contains many duties imposed for
the express purpose only, as was open
ly avowed, of furnishing a basis for
reduction by means of reciprocal trade
treaties, which the Republican admin
istration, impliedly at least, promised
to negotiate. Having, on this prom
ise, secured the increased duties, the
Republican party leaders, spurred on
by protected interests, defeated the
treaties negotiated by the executive,
and now these same interests cling to
the benefit of these duties which the
people never intended they should have,
and to which they have no moral
right.
Even now the argument most fre
quently urged in behalf of the Dingley
tariff, and against tariff reform gen
erally, is the necessity of caring for
our infant industries. Many of these
industries, after a hundred years of
lusty growth, are looming up as in
dustrial giants. In their case, at least,
the Dingley tariff invites combination
and monopoly, and gives justification
to the expression that the tariff is the
mother of trusts.
For the above-mentioned reasons,
among many others, the people de
mand reform of these abuses, and
such reform demands and should re
ceive immediate attention.
The Principle of Customs Taxation,
The two leading parties have al
ways differed as to the principle of
customs taxation. Our party has al
ways advanced the theory that the ob
ject is the raising of revenue for sup
port of the government whatever other
results may incidentally flow there
from. The Republican party, on the
other hand, contends that customs du
ties should be levied primarily for pro
tection, so-called, with revenue as the
subordinate purpose, thus using the
power of taxation to build up the busi
ness and property of the few at the
expense of the many.
This difference of principle still sub
sists, but our party appreciates that
the long-continued policy of the coun
try. as manifested in its statutes,
makes It necessary that tariff reform
should be prudently and sagaciously
undertaken, on scifentific principles, to
the end that there should not be an
immediate revolution in existing con
ditions.
In the words of our platform, we de
mand “a revision and a gradual reduc
tion of the tariff by the friends of
the masses, and for the common weal,
and not by the friends of its abuses,
its extortions and discriminations.”
A Gradual Reduction.
“In my response to your committee,
I pointed out the method under which
a gradual reduction of customs duties
may be accomplished without disturb
ing business conditions. I desire again
to express the opinion that this method
should be followed.”
It is true that the Republicans, who
do not admit in their platform that
the Dingley tariff needs the slightest
alteration, are likely to retain a ma
jority of the Federal Senate through
out the next presidential term, and
could, therefore, if they chose, block
every attempt at legislative relief. But
it should be remembered that the Re
publican party includes many revi
sionists, and I believe it will shrink
from defying the popular will ex
pressed unmistakably and perempto
rily at the ballot box.
The people demand reform of exist
ing conditions. Since the last Demo
cratic administration the cost of liv
ing has grievously increased. Those
having fixed incomes have suffered
keenly: those living on wages, if there
has been any increase, know that such
increase has not kept pace with the
advance in the cost of living, including
rent and the necessaries of life. Many
to-day are out of work, unable to se
cure any wages at all. To alleviate
these conditions, in so far as is in our
power, should be our earnest endeavor.
Trust Remedies.
I pointed out In my earlier response
the remedy, which in my judgment, ean
effectually be applied against monopo
lies, and the assurance was then given
that If existing laws, Including both
statute and common law, proved inad
equate, contrary to my expectations, I
favor such further legislation, within
constitutional limitations, as will beat
promote and safeguard the Interests of
all the people.
Whether there is any common law
which can be applied and enforced by
the Federal courts, cannot be deter
mined by the President, or by a can
didate for the presidency.
The determination of this question
was left bv the people In framing the
rnnstltution. to the Judiciary and not
to the Executive. The Supreme Court
of the United States has recently con
sidered this question, and, In the case
of the Western Union Telegraph Cos.
vs. The fail Publishing Cos., to be
found In the one hundred and elghty
ilrst volume o? the United States Su
preme Court reports, at page 92, It de
cided that common law principles could
be applied by United States courts In
cases Involving Interstate commerce,
In the absence of United States statutes
specifically covering the case. Such Is
the law of the land.

JAPANESE ARE BATTERING DOWN
THE DEFENSES OF PORT ARTHUR
After Heavy Bombardments Fierce Assaults Carried Outlying Forts That
Were Stubbornly Defended.
Che Foo, Sept. 25, 10:30 p. m.—As a
result of the battle before Port Arthur,
which began on Sept. 19, the Japanese
succeeded In capturing several impor
tant positions and to-day the Russian
tenure of the big forts guarding the
north, northeast and northwest sides
of the town is seriously threatened.
Chinese information places the Japa
nese losses under 3,000 for the three
days’ fighting, and this comparative
ly small casualty list is due to the ex
cessive care used by the Japanese in
making their preparations for the ad
vance. Russian sources, however,
claim to have information that the
Japanese losses were unusually severe,
amounting to fully three times the
number mentioned above.
Possibly the most important capture
during the three days' fighting was
that of Fort Kuropatkin, which, while
of minor value with regard to prevent
ing the entrance into the town of the
Japanese, had been constructed for the
purpose of protecting the source of the
garrison's water supply. The control
of this water supply is now in the
hands of the Japanese.
Itnttle llrgau Before IJaybrenU.
As was announced in these dis
patches on Sept. 20, the battle began
before daybreak on Sept. 19. At this
hour the citizens and the garrison of
Port Artuhr, after the enjoyment of
weeks of comparative security, awoke
to the thunderous reports of artillery
along the line extending from the west
of Itz mountain to Rlplung and Kik
wan mountains. This was but a pref
ace to the assault which was destined
to result in the capture of three new
and important Russian positions, to
gether with six small, but annoying.
TWO KILLED IN
FIGHT AT NAYLOR.
Tragedy nosed by Negro—Mannle

Valdosta. Ga.. Sept. 28.-At Naylor,
twelve miles east of here, on the At
lantic Coast Line, Mannle Carter, a
prominent young man, and Gravey
Hodge, a negro, were killed last night,
and Ruhe Knight, white, was wounded.
Carter was shot through the body and
lived until 11 o'clock to-day. The ne
gro was riddled with bullets and died
Instsntly.
Information received here Is to the
effect that Mr. Carter wss In the store
of his brother, R. M. Carter, when the
negro Hodge entered and In an In
sulting manner demanded to be wait
ed on at once. His manner and words
were so offensive that he wss asked
to get OUI the store, which he did.

During the day and night of the
19th and until noon of the 20Lh, the
bombardment continued without ces
sation, and the many shells falling from
quarters which previously had been
silent made it obvious that the Japa
nese had at last succeeded either in
mounting many heavy guns in new po
sitions or In strengthening their old
positions. The infantry fighting dur
ing this period was comparatively
trivial.
At noon on Sept. 20, the Japanese
right and center, the former being to
the west and the latter to the east of
the railroad, commenced the advance.
The troops made use of the trenches
and frequent natural cover that lay in
their way. The small forts to the
south of Shushiyen resisted this at
tack but briefly, their garrisons not
being strong numerically.
Since the beginning of the bombard
ment the artillery tire frem Fort Ku
ropatkin had been growing steadily
weaker, and, it having become appar
ent that it had been practically si
lenced, the Japanese assaulted the
fort.
hiirnimtkin Showed Its WrnknPH.
Fort Kuropatkin is situated at the
south of Pallchuang and to the north
east of the parade ground, on a low
hill. It derives its name from Up
time when Clen. Kuropatkin inspected
it and pointed out the weakness of the
position and ordered that it be
strengthened as far as possible because
of the necessity of protecting the water
supply. While situated in the chain of
multi forts. Fort Kuropatkin never has
been as strong as the others, and after
said that Penny and Knight took bis
part and started in the store with their
pistols drawn. Mannle Carter met
them at the door and It Is charged
that Penny leveled his pistol at him,
firing three shots. The first shot pass
ed through Carter’s body. As he fell
he returned the fire, shooting Knight
through the arm. Penny was not
wounded.
The negro would have gotten off
without further trouble but for his
talk. He was drinking and boasting
over the killing of Carter, when some
one fired a shot at him, which was
the signal for a fusilude that filled him
full of holes.
Sheriff Passmore was summoned to
Naylor by telephone, and arrested
Penny and Knight at the former's
home several miles from there at t
o'clock this morning. The two men
are In jail here. Coroner Solomon has
gone to Naylor to hold an inquest over
the negro.

severe fighting it fell into the hands of
the Japanese. This capture lessens
further the security of the fort on
Rihlung mountain, which is now
threatened from anew quarter as well
as from Paliehang.
At ft o’clock of the afternoon of Sept.
20 the Japanese captured a supplemen
tary fort which from the lower ground
threatened the fort on Itz mountain.
This ended the heavy fighting for that
day, although the Japanese later were
compelled to resist several sorties.
Carried lij a Farinas Assault,
During the night the heavy bom
bardment of the Russian positions
continued, the Japanese fire being di
rected with particular vigor against
another supplementary fort 3,000 yards
to the west of the fort on Itz moun
tain, and regarded as highly Impor
tant because of its bearing on the Itz
and Anshu mountain forts.
The next day, after having pounded
this position unmercifully and until Us
fire had slackened visibly, the Japa
nese delivered their assault. They met
with a stubborn resistance. They were
eximsed to tile fire of machine guns
and rifles and they made frantic efforts
to reach the crest of the slope. They
leaped over trenches and embankments
and tore down the entanglements In
their path until they Entered the fort.
The Russian troops there refused to
desert their position, even In the face
of the superior numbers which con
fronted them, and desperate hand-to

Eventually almost the entire Russian
