WALTER FLOWER DEAD.
Once Ably Filled the Position of
Mayor of New Orleans.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-Walter Flow
err, ex-Mayor of New Orleans. died today
at Covngton, La. aged fifty years. He
was a native of East Feliciana Parish,
La. In his earlier life he entered the
profession of journalism in New Orleans,
and also practiced law, but he deserted
it to enter the Gotten business when the
firm OF Flower, King & Putnam was
one of the most successful in both sugar
and cotton.
Mr.. Flower was twice elected President
of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange man
aging its affairs admirably through the
great cotton strike. In 1896. when the
Citizens League. or independent move
ment, was organized in New Orleans TO put
an end to the rule of the Democratic ring
Mr.. Flower was rendered the nomination
for mayor. His doctor forbade him from
doing so. owing TO his bad health. but Mr..
Flower accepted and was elected mayor by
an overwhelming majority.
His administration was splendid. and he
was renominated As an independent can
t.idate, hut was defeated. To this defeat
his death is largely due. as he felt greatly
hurt by the popular reputation after what
he had done for New Orleans. Mr. Flower
was Vice President of the Municipal
League OF the United States.

INDEPENDENCE FOR CANADA
Speech by Lauricr's Commission r
of Public Works.

MONTREAL. Oct. III. Israel Tarte.
minister Of public works and the head OF
the Liberal organization in Quebec, made
a statement in a speech delivered at Pont
Viau, about ten miles from Montreal, yes
terday, which will attract attention
throughout the country. He declared him
self in favor of the independence of Can
ada. He said he believed that Liberal
defeat would be an imperial disaster. The
Conservatives. he added. had paraded the
country with the torch OF fanaticism in
composed only of people Of Anglo Saxon
are in minority.
81 am French Canadian from the sole
of my feet tothe crown Of my head" he
continued, "ystI desire with all my heart
the continuance of our present condition
under the British, Crown. Canada enjoys
the freedom o. British Institutions. Al
though l am French I say that / would
not be willing that Canada should be gov
erned under the same regime under which
the colonies OF France are governed. / de-
SIRE say, the continuance Of the imperial
tie until such time as we may perhaps be-
come an independent nation. That is not
disloyalty. Children grow and do not al
ways remain under the parental roof. 1
am loyal British subject, but am
loyal to my race also"
That. 1t is asserted. Is not the kind OF
cratory that will: commend Mr.. Tarte and
his Frencht Canadian leader to the English
speaking provinces. and will furnish his
opponents with . subject for campaign
literature. -, 49,

Roosevelt and the Germans.

Even leading Republican organs admit
that the reception of Governor Roose-
welt in ST. Louis was cold, and that il
affected him in an unpleasant way. max
ing him surly and disagreeable, even be-
yond his usual wont, and totally regard
less OF the local committee which bad
him in charge. He refused carriage
rice. dinner, and various other Gus
tomary courtesies, and displayed his Ill
temper generally.
Even the press Of his own party ad-
mits that the cause of the st. Louis frost
was the dislike which the dominant Ger
man-imerican element in the city feels
for a man who exploits himself as the
representative OF militarism. German
Americans we're conspicuous by their alb
sence from his meeting, as indeed they
have been generally from his meetings
throughout the West. Elsewhere the fact
has not been so noticeable. simply for the
reason that the German American elc-
,ncnt has not been in such force. But in
st. Louis, where II is the dominant vot-
iEg factor. 1t could not be hidden.
We should remember that heretofore
the ST. Louis Teutons have been solidIy
Republican, and welded to their Marty
by tics Of long habit and race conscrva
tism. II they nave left 1t, as eighty FIVE
yer cent CT them surely have. It is a fair
presumption that the causes which have
0erked to produce SO radical and even
