THE ELECTION NEWS.

The accurate results OF last Tues
davis election are not as yet obtained
vet sufficient is renown to say that
the Democrats have made heavy
gains and the Republicans may lose
control Of Congress.
On the other hand the chances are
that the Republican gains IN certain
states will give them sufficient United
States Senators to control that body.
White supremacy made q clean
sweep in North Carolina and the mon
grel negro combine was wiped out
completely.
Roosevelt carried New York by
%. 900 majority and the Republicans
have elected a majority OF the legls'
~lature, thus ensuring a Republican
Senator from that state.
In the 3rd Congressional distrlc'
Bob Broussard is elected by a hand
some majority, having carried ever.
narish in the district. AS we pre-
dicted, Fontelieu did not get enough
to make it interesting. The othe

The Sugar Planters Journal, has
entered upon its 18th year. Found
ed by our friend j. Y. Gilmore as the
Sugar Bowl-the paper has always
been an active and intelligent worker
for the best interests of the sugar in
dustry. Bro. Gilmore's efforts were
largely instrumental in securing the
sugar experiment station at N ew Or
leans which was the precursor of the
two other stations at Baton Rouge
and Calhoun. He long ago foresaw
and ADVOCATED the central factory
system which is proving SO advant-
ageous to the small cane farmer. We
are truly gratified to learn that the
paper is to be improved in the near
future.

When Richard Harding Davis was
writing for the New York Herald, he
described Roosevelt as ssdismounted,
marching up the hill at Santiago in
his shirt sleeves, carrying a musket,
his white suspenders distinguishing
him from his men, Writing for

the same battle, this veracious chron-
icler says of Roosevelt: "With
sword in hand he put spurs to his
charger and boldly led the way, q
conspicuous mark for the enemy.

THE B QUESTION.

The Shreveport Times, in a well
considered editorial, looks upon the
labor question as a very serious one
all over the state. The younger gen
Grafton of negroes that have grown
up and received any education,
either want to become preachers OF
school teachers, or become gamblers
or crap shooters to fleece the more
ignorant ones out of their earnings.
Year after year more of them quit
their farms and 60 to towns to exc
out an uncertain living by doing odd
Jobs and frequently become criminals
before they will do hard work. The
women are not any better, and fiock
to town to live without work. Iht
outlook seems to be that white 1abo:
will have to be imported to take tn
place of the unreliable colored popu
lation.
