The Grit-advocate., 1900-11-02
Some Charges Answered in
Reference to Judge Armour.

Reference to Judge Armour.
First. Not true that he appointed
his wife as deputy district clerk. Dep
uty clerks are appointed by the clerk
and not by the Judge. Mrs. Armour
assisted the clerk for only an hour or
two on one occasion, solely for his ac-
commOdatioD and for the accommoda-
tiOn Of many witnesses and jurors
from distant points-and without ask
ing for or receiving any pay therefor.
Such lie the flimsy basis for all the fuss
OF his opponents on this score. They
we'll know these facts and yet scruple
not to build upon them structure of
falsehood, only to deceive.
Second. The charge that his clerks
and bailiffs at Sterling have been re.
quired to divide fees with him is false
in toto. Let them answer for them
selves.
State of Colorado.
County Of Logan,
w. W. Foster, being first duly
sworn, upon his oath, says that he was
clerk of the district court in said cour-
ty for three years and two months and
that he received and enjoyed all the
fees of the Office and that no portion
thereof in any sense whatever, either
directly or Indirectly, was ever at any
time divided with Judge Armour dur
ing said period or since, nor ever pro
,,,ood h., Iu6 ro IN no c,, wi
ed. Nor did Judge Armour ever pro.
pose to make such atlantis continu-
ance In said office contingent upon any
division Of such fees. All reports to
the contrary are wholly false and with
out any foundation in fact, and are
circulated, as affiant believes, for cam
paign purposes only, to reflect on
Judge Armour and injure his chances
of election. Judge Armour gave me
eight months written notice of prob
able change Of clerks and when the no.
tice expired continued me six months
longer and 10 every way treated me
fairly and honorably in the matter.

just q Little Off.

Hon. Don Caffery, Jr., in his
speech here last Sunday, attacked
the primary system, saying that
the Democrats were trying to get
the men who had participated in
the local primaries to not only
vote fer the parish nominees, but
the State Democratic nominees
also. He claimed that this was
taking an unfair advantage of the
veter, appearing to believe that
while he was bound to stand by
the local candidates, he was under
no obligation to vote the State
Democratic ticket. This doctrine
however, cannot be applied in this
parish, where delegates to the
State Convention were voted for
at the same primary as the local
candidates. Having voted in the
primaries, man is in honor bound
to support the entire Democratic
ticket, and we believe but few will
fail to carry out their pledge.

That's About the Size OF 1t.

A careful reading Of the de,
bates and proceedings of Congress
on great public issues plainly in
dlcates that the controlling object
of both political parties is peliti-
cal spoils; one party scheming to
perpetuate power, the other try
ing to find a hole in its opponent S
armor, where it may insert a po-
litical dagger. They parry and
thrust, carte ct t1erce, advance
and retreat, and the people look
on and hiss or applaud, just as
they would at a prize fight or
hipPodreme. 1t beats a circus
or deg fight, and a cake-walk is
not in it at all. It is costly fun,
but the people who pay the fd-
dler, but do none of the dancing,
are not complaining about a little
matter Of $270O a day, direct cost
and an almost infinite cost collate-
raj and contingent. Political fun
comes high, but we must have it,
or think we must.-W. B. r. Su-
gar Planter.

TO Who 1t May Concern.
Subscriptions amounting

Subscriptions amounting to
several hundred dollars are due
this office. The amounts are
small and the debtors are scat
tered throughout the parish. If
we have to call on each individ-
ual to make collections we will be
forced to travel q much larger
number of miles than we care to.
The business men of this and
neighboring towns have told us
that they made good collections
this winter. What good reason
is there for us not being able to
say as much !? Is it because we
have been more lenient than
they Or is it because our bills
are SO small in individual cases
that they are overlooked by the
subscribers in their annual settle
ments ? The business conditions
of the country are such that we
are in measure forced to trust
to the honesty of our subscri-
bers and in many instance our
confidence in human nature has
been sorely tried. Those of our
subscribers living at a distance
from Opelousas and have not a
convenient way of sending us
money, can buy postoffice orders
and deduct the cost Of the same
from the sum due us. This is a
fair proposition, and we have an
abiding hope that it will be taken
advantage of by those owing us.

In view of the rapidly increasing
number of applications for pen
sisns arising out of the Spanish
American and Philippine wars,
the necessity for further revision
and codifcation of the Federal
pension laws has been thoroughly
impressed upon Congress. There
is now pending in the House Il
bill which passed the Senate be-
fore the holiday adjournment,
providing for a nen-partisan cea-
mission of five members to un-
dertake the task, but what wilt
that amount to ? If it becomes a
law, majority of the committee
will be Republicans and the thiev-
cry will continne to go bravely

A Correct View.

The exclusion Of Roberts from
the House Of Representatives is a
victory for mawkish sentiment
and impulsive bigstry. The very
virtueus members eff that body
of white-seuIed legislators could
net stomach the idea Of a polyga-
mist i'll their original midst
and the gentleman from Utah
will not have the opportunity to
obtain some Of the easy money
that is floating around SO freely
in Washington this season. In
stead Of creating any kind of a
sensation, the Roberts case pc
tered out to nothing, but it
marks a splendid triumph fer
sensational journalism. The con-
stitutien of the United States
seems to have been overridden al
together by the House, but the
poor old Constitution is merely
a trifie in these days of Gage,
Hanna and Mckinley. In a meas
ure the defeat of Roberts is step
towards the abolishment of pol
iygaH1y, but there are worse
criminals in Washington than
pelygaRy and Roberts. Bribery,
corruption and debauchery have
long held high carnival at the ma
tion's capital, but when those
subjects ara mentioned, the tur-
tie back members Of Congress
sneak into their shells and wisely
become silent. Poor Roberts
was u yictim and he was sacrificed
to make holiday for the prudes
and Pharisees.-N. O. Morning
