EDITOR ST. TAXMAxr CARsgR:
In your editorial Of last week,
commenting upon the peremptory
action Of the Democratic Executive
Committee Of our Parish, in arbi-
trarily electing delegates to the
c Congressional Convention 1t Baton
Rouge. every Democrat in this
town and ward congratulates you
upon your views ON the subject,
and no doubt they will not consider
themselves bound to support the
nominee. 1t was one Of the most
high-handed and undermining pro.
ceedings ever attempted in our
once honest parish.

and refreshing weather. Autumn
has come. Yellow leaves dutter
across the gardens, the martins are
collecting ON the rOofs preparing
for flight. The mowers are hard

under the ws:ght Of the sturdy men
cleaning the nuts, and the wood-
choppers are ''axing'' down the oak
trees for winter use.
How still, how mysterious it Is
here at early morn on the beach.
The soft ripples Of the north wind
playing on the Lake, the sea gulls
flying over the water. the king-6sh-
ers perched on the wharves watch

pants merry with laughter, gliding
