"Dr." Catron at Columbia.

Columbia, Mo-, June 2.-This was
alumni day at the Missouri state universi-
ty. Distinguished alumni, representing
yearly every class from the first of 1843
to 1896, were present. At 10 O'Clock in
the university auditorium, the annual ad-
dress before the Alumni association was
delivered by Hon. Thomas Benton Catron,
of Santa Fe, N. M. The class of 1860, in
which Mr.. Catron graduated, was one of
the most remarkable that ever went forth

we're: Senator Stephen B. Elkins, Con-
gresham John T. Heard, Capt. Charles
E. Leonard, Judge j. V. Cravens, DR.. A.
j. Thomas and r. G. Carter.
In the absence of Hon. Charles E.
Yeater, president of the Alumni associa-
ton, the vice -president, Prof. I. Loeb,
presided. DR.. Catron made speech
upon the subject. "America and the Bust
ness Interests of America for Americans"
He traced the history of government,
spoke of its growth and changes and then
discussed the present dangers Of the
American republic. He closed with a
vigorous plea for protective tariff, for
more equitable navigation laws and for
the shutting out of Chinese and Japanese
products by prohibitive tariff.
The annual alumni dinner, at which 200
alumni and invited guests were present,
followed.

Last night, on the Randolph plantation

held by the Republicans Of ward two,

the Populists alone and 90 with the
Democrats for Judicial, district and par

Tademy, o. F. Smith, s. T. Wilkins, J.
A. Williams and w. D. Irwin, and ali OF
them spoke to the point. II Mr.. Will
liams will make q few more speeches like
he made last night, and let the people
ell know how firmly and strongly he is
opposed to the suffrage amendment, /
am sure he will carry almost every color

Some voters don't seem to want to sup

Foster favors the suffrage amendment.
This all foolishness. Support the ticket,
and if you oppose the suffrage amend

cannot make the law; he is merely q

"A Foster Democratic police jury has
been IN power for four years. To-day
our parish is in debt 5000. We have

Comment on the above l. unnecessary:
although the debt is about $1,000 less
than stated, and there will be funds to
pay moro than bali of it. In this con-
nection it might be we'll to take into con-
sideration the enormous bills of Clerk
Shackelford, together with the cost of
setting aside one of our juries on account
OF his failure to perform his duty, which
have cost the parish, all told, something
over $1,000. -

"Our taxes are q mills"

had not been for his talking and working

would now be 16 instead of q mills.

Soap and water are the best preven-
tives of smallpox. We make this state
ment on the authority of DR.. Erskine, of
Memphis, Tenn, physician of national
repute. In 1873 he told the editor of this
paper that bodily cleanliness and strict
observance of the ordinary rules of health
would give any one almost immunity
from infection, and our observation con-
firms his statement.

The reason for the raise in 1893 was
that Capt. Pharr mad bought 1000 addi-
tional acres of land. and it was not an
increase in the rate of taxation but an
increase in the actual value of his prop
erty. In his reference to this matter at
Alexandria, Governor Foster gave the
following official figures from the United
States treasury officials, showing that
even at the rate assessed in 1893 Capt.
Pharr got of with much lighter assess
ment, comparatively, than any cotton
farmer in North Louisiana. The goyer-
nor gave the following sums as the
amount Of bounty paid to Capt Pharr
by the United States:
1912 amount bounty. $4,000
1923, amount bounty. $1,000
1854, amount bounty. .... $1,000
The Baton Rouge Advocate. in COM
mentinR on the general ignorance and
cheek of Capt. Phsrr, scores the old
demagogue and fraud in the following
caustic languages:
Capt. Pharr complained OF being tax.
ridden and poverty stricken during the
Foster administration, aud yet, owing to
the purchase of additional property, his
assessmnnt, while ostensibly higher dur
ing the past two years, was really lower
than when Gov. Foster went into Office.
He is rich man, and yet since the gov
ernor went into Office he has put INTO
his pockets as gratuity from the gen.
eral government nearly quarter Of
million dollars in three years, and this
money which enabled Capt. Pharr to
live in wealth and luxury has been
largely wrung from the hard earned
wages of the consumers and wage-earners
of the country.
The difference between Ananias and
Capt. Pharr may be chiefly summed up
as follows: Ananias made statements,
the falsity of which could only be de-
tected by supernatural agency; while in
the case OF Capt. Pharr, the 'wayfaring
man, though FOOL if he looks at the
official records, cannot avoid detecting
the faisity Of his charges. Another diff
ference is. Ananias was smitten dead for
his mendac,ty. while Pharr will be para
lysed by the people on the 2lst of April"

tax rolls with $88, $40 worth of real estate,
to say nothing Of $4,000 in cool cash

share of the last three years sugar
bounty. This last amount, mind you.
does not figure on the tax rolls, but is
hid away in an old sock, or else carefully
invested in good interest bearing securi-
tiee, in such way that it escapes the
prying eyes of the tax collector.
