women should be allowed to vote.
None are competent to cast a vote
who are not versed at least to some
extent in the political affairs Of our
state. Politics is a dirty thing for
a man to mix up in and is too dirty
a thing for our fair sex to think Of
mixing up in.-Boyce Enterprise
That is one OF the strongest reas-
ons why THE PROGRESS is an ad-
vocate of woman suffrage, Brother
Beaird! We see no means Of pu-
rifying politics under the control OF
man alone, and we feel assured
that the women viii always vote
for honest men, for honest meas
ures: for God, and home and ma
tive land.
A whole lot of papers in the
State are shaking in their boots at
the idea of Gov. Foster capturing
the cons itutional convention
What could he want with it after
he captured it; He has troubles
enough Of his own already.-Lake
Charles Herald.
1'What could he want with 1t?
Why, keep it from firing him out
of Office in case it would decide to
get unruly and decide not to be
bothered with restrictions.
Gov. Foster, in a recent inter-
view with a representative of the
Picayune, emphasizes the need Of
getting rid of the negroes as voters.
What would have become of Fos-
ter if it had not been for the ne
groes when he was,struggling years
ago for political preferment?-N.
o. Republican.
So 10! What scrap of un-
written history is being limited at

If it takes two of the Bryan sill
yer dollars to buy one bushel of
wheat, why do the brokers only
pay one? What fools these NOR
tails be!
Goldocracy is dying hard. The

manifest in Whitney's ultimatum

VARIOUS KINDS OF DEMOCRATS.
Mr.. G. d. Hicks, the able and
worthy editor of the Shreveport
PROGRESS has classed the Democ-
racy of Louisiana into eight differ
ent kinds, and we believe he is
very near correct in point of emu
meration, though he may not have
reached the maximum. From our
study and observation with the
lights with which we have been
surrounded, we have reached,
though reluctantly, the deliberate
conclusion that the name Democ-
racy in Louisiana carries with it
every tinge, shade or color con-
ceivable or known to nomencla-
ture, and these all profess to be fol-

CL4RION-APPEAL FLA TIERS IT
SELF
In discussing a difference which
arose between the Clarion-Appeal
and THE PROGRESS, the former
concludes an article as follows:
The Shreveport editor winces
because we alluded to his oft-re-
peated apologies for, and defense
of, D. G. O'Malley, man THE
PROGRESS appears to hold up as
an evangel of honor, patriotism
and philanthropy. Mr.. O'Malley
may be all his Shreveport defend
er claims for him, but the Shreve-
port editor must confess that he
knows of no Democrat in the state
| who basks in a more unsavory
reputation than O'Malley has. If
'Malley has been slandered is it
not quite probable that the charac-
tiers of some Democrats, whom
Editor Hicks SO cordially despises,
have also been besmirched by the
blistering tongue or pen Of the liar
and sanderer?'
Clarion-Appeal flatters itself
when it asserts that our editor
winces at such shafts as this aime1
at him.
THE PROGRESS appreciates the
true aim and steady nerve of Clar-
ion. Annaal- q G q r1,la wa reo1rpjve
