The Poor Who Became Great
Southern Farmer.


"The story of the ancestry of
Lincoln, of the revolving hardships
and privations of his childhood
and youth, or his squalid environ
ment, almost shock the sense of
natural justice" says ex-senator
John j. Ingalls,, in The Saturday
Evening Post. "We feel instinc-
lively that destiny was unecessari-
ly cruel, harsh and severe. His
great spirit bore the deep scars of
those early struggles to the grave.
Scarcely any man in the country
had a past more depressing, or. a
future more hopelessly gloomy,
desperate and unpromising than
Grant at the outbreak of the Civil
War. Henry Wilson, the Shoe
maker of Natick,' Senator and
Vice-President. was born in a va
grant community of basket-mak-
kers and thinkers, of unknown pa
ternity. His real Dame was Jeri-
miah Goliath, and he took the pa
tronymic of his patron, General
Wilson, who, decerning the waits
powers, set him in the pathway of
preferment and renown. Morton,
the War Governor and Senator
from Indiana, told me the proud
est moment of his life, up to the
age of twenty-one, was when he
marched into his native village at
the head of a band. playing a key
bugle, while he was hatter's ap-
prentice. Garfield and Sheridan,
the barefoot boys upon the tow
paths of the Ohio canals; Andrew
Jackson, the tailor; Blaine, the
country school teacher; Mckinley
and Bryan, of humble origin
these and many others of smaller
fame refute the instruction that
the ambitious youth must put mo-
ney in his purse before entering
public life.
Another remarkable illustra-

ANOTHER HITCH.

Judge Foster after rendering a
decision in favor of the Council
men against the Mayor granted to
the Mayor a suspensive appeal,
fixed the bond at fifty dollars, and
made the appeal returnable in ten
days, and to be decided at cham
Der by the Circuit Court.
Clerk of Court Fleming COM
piled with the judgment of the
District Court and forwarded the
papers to the Court of appeal, but
the papers were returned to the
Clerk of Court, with a letter sign
ed by Judges Mouton and Lewis
of the Circuit Court, stating that
they had no authority to try that
case at chamber.
We believe Judge Mouton who
represented Mayor Fournet made
the point to the Court that there
was no law to have the Circuit
Court decide the case at chamber.
but Judge Foster thought other
wise.
Now, some contend that the ap-
peal fall by itself while others are
of different opinion, and we be-
lieve the suspensive appeal, which
has been granted, stands good un-
til passed upon by the Court of
appeals, the errors of the District
Judge in making the appeal re-
turnable in ten days and to be de-
cided ct chamber, do not destroy
the appeal, and things will have
TO remain in their present state,
unless the lawyers can find a way
out of it.

Congressman Broussaad Oppos ed
Lake Charles American.

Lake Charles American.
The people are not allowed in
this district, as they are in the
other rural districts in the State,
to choose their own candidate, nor
is representation in the convention
based upon the Democratic vote
cast by each parish. Instead. the
State convention method is adher-
ed to by which the parish that has
a voting strength of 300 or 400 is
the peer of imperial Calcasieu in
the convention.
Under the circumstances, il
seems likely that Calcasieu will
never get Congressman unless il
be through the Republican party.
Casting the largest Democratic
vote of any parish outside of Or
leans, she gets favors from neither
the State administration nor the
congressional district. Her Re-
preventative in Congress makes no
effort to obtain the improvements
she needs and is entitled to; the
little he is able to wrest from the
government goes to the eastern
part of the district. So determin-
ed, does the controlling element
seem to be to "hog" everything that
Calcasieu was not even given an
alternate to the national conven-
ton this year.
This is all very we'll while the
politicians are the only ones hurt,
but the plain voters in this parish
are beginning to wonder why they
should keep in power eternally a
crowd that persistently and with
malice aforethought leaves Calca-
sieu in the cold, and who cannot
be dislodged except by a political
revolution. The election of Cal
casieu Republican would not only
break up the grip opens the pa
rish's throat, but would put us in
line to get a Federal building, har-
Dor improvement and the other
plums with which a Republican
administration would reward our
lapse from virtue.
